Best Online Stock Trading Brokers for 2018 If you’re looking for a way to build more wealth in 2018, getting started with one of the best online brokerage accounts is a solid first step. Doing so will allow you to invest outside your traditional retirement accounts and on your own terms. The best part is, the best online brokerage firms charge little or no fees and offer excellent resources that can help you learn more about investing along the way. Of course, not all brokerage firms are created equal, and that’s why we took the time to break down each of their details and rank the top options on an array of factors. If you’re looking for a new way to invest this year and are ready to strike out on your own, the following online brokerage accounts should be at the top of your list.What Matters When You Trade Stocks on Your Own? Managing your own money can be a stressful endeavor. To minimize this, and to minimize information overload that tends to come from watching the markets 24/7, there are a few must-haves to look for in an online broker. Clean interface. When I trade, I want to be able to easily find my order entry ticket. I don’t want it buried under a number of drop downs. This interface should have intuitive access to see your balance, available cash, positions with real time P/L and all be easily navigated. Quick access to basic charting. A chart tells me where the stock has been recently. I don’t trade minute to minute anymore, so I don’t need complex tools like stochastics or retracement lines. All that’s important is that I have a basic chart on a yearly, monthly, weekly, daily and intra day time period. I use a chart to see current price relative to those time periods, mainly to avoid purchasing at a bad price. Low fees. One of the biggest roadblocks to building wealth is fees incurred to invest your hard-earned dollars. Because the fees charged by different brokerage firms vary so dramatically, it’s crucial to seek out options that charge low fees (or no fees) for account management and trades. There are over 50 online brokerages where you can open an account. Beyond the my three rules above, best online brokerage accounts aren’t just for trading stocks. Sure, many of them started as online stock trading accounts, but now they’re full-fledged trading, saving, investing, retirement planning, and banking machines. This industry is more complex than the average person thinks. You shouldn’t just pick any online broker and sign up for an account. The best online broker for one person is often completely different for the next person. Use this resource as a guide to your decision process. Figure out what features are best for you, and make your selection. What Makes a Great Online Broker? I analyzed a number of elements to come to my decision on which brokers are the best. Later in this post, I provide full details on how I selected the best online brokerages. When you take all the features, resources, trading platforms, and technology into account (while also considering every type of trader), the full-service brokers, like E*TRADE and TD Ameritrade are the best for the largest number of people. For those simply looking to make cheap trades, I would recommend going with Optionshouse. If you’re a very advanced trader, high-volume trader, or a professional who manages money, I recommend going with Interactive Brokers. However, I didn’t include Interactive Brokers on my list because they’re best for a very small group of traders and the platform is very complex. Top Qualities of Standout Online Trading Platforms Quality trading tools and technology Multiple trading platforms for all levels of traders Excellent mobile trading features Solid navigation that displays the relevant information where you want it Quality educational resources and research for trader development There’s more to selecting an online broker than price. You have to consider the resources you’re getting for the cost you pay per trade. For example, my colleague, who is also an ex-trader, likes to use a combination of stock and options trade in his longer-term trading. He recently switched over to Fidelity because he really liked the cash management features, but was very disappointed by complex order entry, sub-par options execution and frustrating navigation. He’s currently making the switch to one of the brokers I profile here.

Sisi Gelap Dan Kasus Kriminal Bitcoin Uang Digital

Pertanyaan umum ihwal uang digital yang disebut Bitcoin yaitu sistem kas transaksi global yang terdesentralisasi atau dengan kalimat gampangnya mata uang dalam bentuk elektronik. Sehingga tidak ada bentuk fisiknya sama sekali. Tidak ada koin bitcoin menyerupai mata uang konvensional. Bitcoin, sama menyerupai mata uang digital lainnya, disimpan di internet. Bitcoin tidak diregulasi hingga ketika ini baik oleh pemerintah maupun pihak bank. Dan penggunanya sanggup melaksanakan transaksi secara anonim. Satoshi Nakamoto yaitu nama pencipta bitcoin. Identitas aslinya sangat misterius semenjak bitcoin pertama dirilis pada tahun 2009. Namun seiring dengan meningkatnya nilai mata uang bitcoin, keingintahuan banyak pihak mengenai identitas orisinil penciptanya pun terus meningkat. Walaupun hingga kini masih belum ditemukan.


Sisi Gelap Bitcoin
Sahabat anehdidunia.com Bitcoin ketika ini sedang menjadi perhatian alasannya yaitu dengan segenap kelebihannya yang terdesentralisasi dan tanpa ikatan dalam sistem transaksi dan kepemilikan. Tetapi di sisi lain, hal ini justru menuai bermacam-macam sisi gelap mata uang digital itu. Konsep yang ditanamkan oleh sang penemu, Satoshi Nakamoto, bahwa Bitcoin mengatakan kepemilikan utuh tanpa perlunya ikatan dengan pihak ketiga baik dari swasta dan pemerintah, menjadi daya tarik tersendiri bagi penggunanya. Tapi seiring berjalannya waktu, hal ini disadari sebagai kelemahan mata uang yang ditemukan pada 2009 ini.

Menurut artikel di Business Insider, Bitcoin menjadi sangat berkhasiat bagi para pelaku kejahatan yang ingin menyembunyikan uang hasil kejahatannya. Karena kalau mereka menyimpan uang di bank, uang hasil kejahatannya sanggup dengan praktis terlacak. Bitcoin juga sanggup disalahgunakan oleh orang-orang yang ingin menyembunyikan pendapatannya dari pemerintah, dan menghindari kewajiban membayar pajak. Lantas, pendapatan negara dari pajak itu akan hilang alasannya yaitu uang yang tidak terlacak. Tidak hanya pada tindakan kriminal semata, kekurangan Bitcoin paling fundamental juga terjadi alasannya yaitu bentuknya yang tidak riil.

Meskipun bentuknya tidak riil, bukan berarti Bitcoin bebas dari pencurian. Salah satu teladan pencurian dialami oleh Sheep Marketplace, sebuah situs web ilegal jual beli obat terlarang, yang kehilangan 220 dollar AS dalam Bitcoin akhir ulah para peretas sistem komputer. Belum lagi ketidakstabilan nilai mata uang Bitcoin kalau dikonversi ke mata uang konvensional lainnya yang sangat fluktuatif. Hari ini, boleh jadi pemilik sanggup sangat kaya dengan mempunyai Bitcoin senilai 1.000 dollar AS. Namun, siapa yang tahu kalau di kemudian hari nilai uang tersebut hanya tersisa 50 dollar AS.

Business Insider mencatat beberapa insiden kecil yang mengakibatkan kerugian besar bagi para pemilik Bitcoin. Seorang laki-laki pernah kehilangan sekitar 600 dollar AS alasannya yaitu melaksanakan reset pada ponsel pintarnya dan ternyata, ia tak sengaja secara permanen menghapus dompet digital Bitcoin. Contoh lainnya, seorang laki-laki juga pernah kehilangan sekitar 90.000 dollar AS ketika akan bertransaksi dan malah menentukan tombol hapus.

Sejumlah platform online memang sedang menguji pembayaran dengan mata uang Bitcoin, antara lain Wordpress, Reddit, Namecheap, Mega, dan Zynga. Namun, sejumlah negara malah melarang transaksi dengan Bitcoin. Pemerintah China, contohnya, melarang semua forum keuangan mendapatkan transaksi Bitcoin. Sementara Uni Eropa menilai Bitcoin lebih praktis dicuri. Dari sisi investasi juga jelek alasannya yaitu nilai mata uang hanya ditentukan menurut undangan pasar serta mempunyai tingkat fluktuasi tinggi.

Beberapa Kasus Kriminal Yang Menggunakan Bitcoin


Teknologi Bitcoin yang berbasis pada teknologi blockchain memberi pilihan yang menarik bagi para kriminal siber. Dengan beroperasinya Bitcoin sebagai mata uang yang terdesentralisasi, orang sanggup melaksanakan transaksi tanpa adanya pihak mediator menyerupai bank atau forum keuangan lain. Ketiadaan mediator ini menciptakan para pengguna Bitcoin mendapatkan anonimitas dan tingkat kerahasiaan yang tak tertembus dari campur tangan pihak ketiga.

Kasus Teroris Pengebom Mall Alam Sutera
Oktober 2015, masyarakat Indonesia digemparkan dengan agresi pengeboman mall Alam Sutera. Leonard Wisnu Kumala, pelaku pengeboman Mal Alam Sutera, dikabarkan mengancam dan memeras administrasi mall dengan meminta 100 koin Bitcoin yang setara dengan Rp 300.000.000.
