Hello my dear forum member.
This is Secco, admin of Bitcoin Garden Forum, writing. Welcome to this new edition of the Bitcoin Garden Newsletter. While the Bitcoin civil war is making the community crazy, let's see what other interesting things are on the air. In this edition, I picked some interesting stuff for you. including a couple of quick Bitcoin giveaways you can enter with few clicks; also, in the final part of the newsletter there are the latest news about the forum.
A WARNING FOR NEWBIES! If you're brand new on crypto, take some time to learn. Security of your wallets, first of all, but also the dynamics of the crypto markets. I know you all want to make money with crypto, but remember there's no easy money here, nor in other places. There are money for the ones who study and think twice before taking any action. Be extremely careful with ICOs. There are maybe some good opportunities but also a lot of craps or... traps... or call them as you like the more... In short, before even thinking of investing your BTC/ETH somewhere, due diligence! Study the project, think if the plan makes sense, research about the people behind the projects, talk to other users... be responsible!
BINARY.COM ICO – THE WORLD'S FIRST ICO WITH 18 YEARS OF HISTORY: Founded in 1999, Binary.com is the pioneer in online binary options trading. It's a profitable and debt-free company that's reached the ideal stage for an IPO. But with the progress of blockchain technology, they've decided to perform an "IPO on the blockchain" instead with securities-backed tokens that come with real economic benefits. Tokens grant you the right to dividend payments, and also the right to convert the tokens into Ordinary Shares. Binary.com has also reached an agreement to list the tokens on the Lykke.com crypto-asset exchange after the ICO. This means that the tokens can be bought and sold (just like shares on a stock exchange) and potentially increase in value. The token sale runs from 15 November to 25 December 2017.

https://bitcoingarden.org/forum/index.php?topic=19594.msg212238#msg212238UNDER RADAR OF THE MONTH - BITCOINSULTING, BITCORE, EUROPECOIN: The Bitcoinsulting team has been formed by some altcoin teams joining their resources, two years ago. They formed one of the most active cryptolabs that have been successfully running the beautiful coins so far, ever coin unique in his kind, configuration and specification. Their list of innovations, contributed to the community is vast. They have been experimenting with future Bitcoin cores since a long time. Their latest development beats any Bitcoin fork by far in any of the specs, discussed by the community. BITCORE / BTX started at 5 dollar and has been tripling by natural growth and appreciation till today. Now network growth suggest it to surpass its competing coins very soon:
https://bitcoingarden.org/forum/index.php?topic=22308.0EUROPECOIN: While BTX has been running wild, an older fellow from this team has been maturing from a takeover, that searched for its way to survive, into a multi dev-teams project with roadmaps, goals and visions on many fronts. I am talking about Europecoin. This coin has started the takeover as a "grassroots lobby currency to promote decentralization", which is a vague goal, as long as you can't prove it. But while they where progressing in technical terms (great new wallet, Termdeposit, FINANCECLOUD API) they made also strong efforts to get involved into advising governments. They did a first shot at the European Commission half a year ago. While not having succeeded then, they used the lessons learned and started over again. This month they released their roadmap for Europecoin in a more decentralized European Union and have been listed in Brussels as the first official cryptocurrency advisor group. This is a very strong and also entertaining coin, because it has a technical policy AND a social policy. Their overactive developments and announcements are never boring and they just launched their own podcast channel three month ago:
