PANIC SELLING OF BITCOIN - WHY?
The second time I saw similar phenomenon was when some "goons" are saying that authorized Forex platform is going to cheat you. It has also created another chaos until they calmed down by itself.
Now, I'm seeing the same trend happening in cryptocurrency especially BitCoin. (This time, we can avoid a chaos if we are smart enough)
It's a "lovely news" to some but "very bad news" especially those who had invested quite a lot of money.
Check any speculation towards cryptocurrency. Don't just sell because you hear that some banking and financial institutions are trying to kill BitCoin or any other cryptocurrency.
Be matured, this is another platform like Forex and Stock Exchange.
Remember, speculators feed from your fear.
Less but not least :
Don't avoid tax and fees - instead PAY THEM - so that you'll be gaining "legalized money" not being labelled as "scam" or "laundering". Don't try to be a Smart Alec - you do not underestimate the power of the law.
Avoid using wallets and exchange that you are not familiar with - check with your friends. Also, avoid using wallets or exchange that indicate "it's been hacked"

ONLINE AFFILATE MARKETING
From a humble beginning in the late 90s, it has now become one of the main source of "passive" income that can be done on a part-time basis - even on full time.
Basically it requires you to have :
a. A blog/website - either paid or free with ads - to me, that's not really important - what is more important is how to draw crowd to your site. (Keywords, Hashtags, Labels, Meta etc)
b. Products/Services - Be specific and put down some information on what you really do or what you are really good at. It helps to state your experience and successful stories as well. Additionally, photos, tables and diagrams will enhance your internet presence.
c. Affiliate with those selling similar Products/Services
Note : It helps to first google "e-book affiliate" - and understand what it is all about
This is the part where you need to choose which affiliate that suits you most...(do not be greedy..I've seen one simple banner on someone's website that have made so much money).
There are so many of them but I like to recommend you :
a) PayDotCom
b) Google AdSense
c) Commission Junction
d) E-Junkie
and many more.
(Note : You should have PayPal account by now!)
Affiliate yourself with merchants with site publishers and help them sell their products/services (Tip : Find something similar to your products/services - because you know better what you're good at)
Vice-versa - ask merchants to help sell your product as well.
There are many more things to learn about online affiliate marketing...there are so many resources for you to read and understand.

APAKAH PENGAJARAN DI SEBALIK KEJADIAN TRAGEDI KEBAKARAN TAHFIZ (pandangan bebas) - Nik Zafri
Mufti Negeri Sembilan, Datuk Mohd. Yusof Ahmad berkata, kesedaran dalam kalangan orang ramai yang mahu mendirikan pusat pengajian seperti itu harus dipuji tetapi ia belum mencukupi sebelum beberapa faktor tertentu diambil kira berkaitan cara ia beroperasi.
Justeru itu katanya, sikap ‘bina dulu dan mohon kebenaran kemudian’ patut dielakkan oleh mereka yang berhasrat menubuhkan pusat pendidikan persendirian.
"Seperti yang kita tahu, pusat pendidikan agama seperti tahfiz tumbuh macam cendawan sama ada oleh secara berkumpulan atau secara individu. Kadang-kadang kurang daripada 10 pelajar pun sudah mahu tubuh pusat tahfiz.
"Kesedaran ini kita puji tetapi pengendali masih perlu patuh kepada syarat-syarat pihak berkuasa terutamanya berkaitan keselamatan pelajar dan kita tidak boleh hanya berharap semua itu akan dapat diatasi selepas kita tubuhkan dulu sekolah ini," katanya dalam sidang akhbar selepas Majlis Konvokesyen Tahfiz Darul Ulum, Negeri Sembilan yang dirasmikan Undang Luak Johol, Datuk Muhammed Abdullah hari ini.
Yang turut hadir Setiausaha Majlis Agama Islam Negeri Sembilan, Kamal Amran Kamaruddin; Pengarah Jabatan Hal Ehwal Agama Islam Negeri Sembilan, Datuk Selamat Paigo dan Pengerusi Akademi Darul Ulum, Mustaffa Daharun.
Semalam, seramai 21 pelajar dan dua orang warden Pusat Tahfiz Darul Quran Ittifaqiyah di Jalan Keramat Hujung, Datuk Keramat di ibu negara, maut selepas terperangkap dalam tragedi kebakaran asrama.
Dalam pada itu Mufti Selangor, Datuk Mohd. Tamyes Abd. Wahid mengingatkan ibu bapa supaya emilih pusat tahfiz yang menawarkan kemudahan pembelajaran yang selamat untuk anak-anak dalam mempelajari ilmu akhirat kerana menjaga keselamatan diri itu juga dituntut dalam Islam.
Menurutnya, dalam menuntut ilmu, prasarana dan keselamatan anak-anak di tempat belajar perlu diambil kira.
Malah katanya, ibu bapa juga diingatkan supaya tidak hanya memikirkan syafaat menghantar anak mempelajari ilmu al-Quran semata-mata, sebaliknya banyak perkara lain yang dituntut dalam Islam termasuk aspek keselamatan.
"Suka diingatkan apabila memilih anak-anak belajar di pusat tahfiz dengan tujuan mendapat ilmu, perkara utama yang perlu difikirkan adalah kemudahan-kemudahan yang disediakan.
"Pilihlah tempat yang lebih efisien serta menjamin ketenteraman (keselamatan) anak-anak untuk mengejar ilmu akhirat," katanya kepada Mingguan Malaysia ketika dihubungi hari ini.
Sementara itu, Mufti Kelantan, Datuk Mohamad Shukri Mohamad berkata, pusat-pusat tahfiz di negara ini perlu memperbaiki kemudahan yang ditawarkan serta mematuhi peraturan yang ditetapkan oleh pihak berkuasa tempatan serta Jabatan Bomba dan Penyelamat.
Katanya, perkara tersebut yang juga meliputi aspek keselamatan adalah dituntut dalam Islam.
