    I have not heard of Platincoin specifically.  Is there a reason you have decided to investigate this over more traditional investments?  If the answer is you saw an ad on social media, then run for the hills and save yourself!
    Think first of your goal, then make it happen!

    Please be aware bitcoin attracts more than it’s fair share of extremely dodgy sites/characters/first time posters.

    That will be a scam. If you're new, consider looking at the top 3 digital assets, Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP. They are very risky, but very likely not a scam like the coin you mentioned.

    i wouldn't touch Platincoin if i were you.. but as Cactus_Jack mentions, looking at some other crypto could be interesting.
    just bitcoin for me, set up nicely generating interest. there are lots of resources around but pm me if i can help with a couple of links.
