So.. it's an issue of centralized OS/security software. Do you know why that update chaos happened? Because someone at CrowdStrike made a centralized decision without 2000 people on a network voting if that update should go through or not. Decentralization is KEY for technology.

MinimalistMindset35

What many of y’all haven’t realized yet is that mindset maketh man. Up until this year I had never made 40k a year working a service industry job yet I’ve accumulated a full coin. How? I live below my means, I have a strict budget, and everything outside of bills went into Bitcoin. I don’t have Netflix, Disney, take vacations, etc. every extra cent I make goes into Bitcoin. There were times I only had 20 and I still covered that 20 into Bitcoin. Bitcoin rewards CONSISTENCY! It took me 3 years of sacrifice to accumulate making “low income” wages. Most of y’all give up without thinking about how to make it happen. I used Coinbase debit card, Bitcoin banks, and Celsius to get free sats. Celsius isn’t an option but Fold App is a great way I get sats back for spending moneyI was already going to spend. My point is that if you don’t even try to figure out a plan to accumulate you will manifest a self fulfilling prophecy. On paper I shouldn’t have a full coin but I figured out a way to utilize free apps/programs to grow my bag. Figure out a plan and stick to it. Consistency of converting trash dollars into sats is KEY!

Transparency is KEY!

It's the former in OCs example. Custodians "take care" of assets by holding them. Which is why the law makes no sense and is just baseless anti crypto. "Custodian" is a specific financial term and has different regulations and laws , governing those that fill this role, as they're under more scrutiny than say a service provider. (Think of liability/risk difference between a cex and a p2p dex, once you start holding peoples assets it's a different ball game). For simple explanation here is investopedia for custodian bank. What Is a Custodian Bank? A custodian bank is a financial institution that holds customers' securities for safekeeping to prevent them from being stolen or lost. The custodian may hold stocks, bonds, or other assets in electronic or physical form on behalf of its customers. Often, a custodian bank does more than provide asset protection. It can manage customers' accounts and transactions, manage the settlement of financial transactions, account for the status of assets, and ensure compliance with tax regulations. KEY TAKEAWAYS •A custodian bank holds financial assets for safekeeping to minimize the risk of theft or loss. •Investment advisors are required to arrange for a custodian for assets they manage for their clients. •These assets may be stored in physical or electronic form. •Custodian banks can also manage financial accounts, handle settlements, and deal with compliance and tax issues. •Custodian banks can serve as mutual fund custodians. These would also usually be your larger more established banks, as you're less likely to be offering such service as a small fry, due to the increased legal regulations/scrutiny you most follow.

If your son has a phone you download an app that helps you send and receive bitcoin. A good one that is easy to use a secure is called BlueWallet. When you create a wallet in BlueWallet you will have a private key and a public key. A private key will come in the form of 12 words, which you write down and never share with anyone. This is like the keys to your house. If someone gets them they could copy them and give them back and they still have your key, and can enter your house and take your stuff at any time. So once your private key is seen by someone else, or potentially seen by someone else, it's compromised and you have to move your bitcoin to a new wallet asap. Thankfully this process is all very easy, but you have to know what the pieces are. The public key will be given to you by the app as a complicated string of letters and numbers, which you can safely send to other people so they can give you bitcoin. This is like someone finding the address of your house. They can't really do anything with it except send you stuff. And they can't get your private key by having your public address. When you get the bitcoin from Cashapp, or Coinbase or whatever, you add you PUBLIC KEY (ADDRESS) to the exchange and withdraw your bitcoin. You buy just enough to make your son satisfied, without so much that if you lost it it would be a big problem for you financially. Finally, when you have to private key (the 12 words) you write it down on paper (ideally both pencil and pen on the same page) and put it in a safe or somewhere secure where nobody outside your family (and potentially inside your family) can see it. This is the real location of your bitcoin, not the wallet app on your phone. Your bitcoin exists everywhere that these 12 words exist. If you have any trouble you can find many videos on YouTube or blogs on Google to show you all the features of BlueWallet. Best of luck!

If you have Zelle you can use Bisque, a decentralized crypto exchange that runs on Tor that doesn't have KYC rules. Or you can just use a regular KYC exchange such as Coinbase to get some BTC. I personally used Coinbase to buy BTC and send it to my Electrum wallet on my computer. For DNM look, fire up a TOR browser and go to Dread (look up its onion address). It's like the reddit of the dark net. There you will find fairly reputable markets. I personally use 🧮. You will also need to learn how to use PGP encryption. I use Kleopatra for windows to manage encrypting/decrypting messages. There are plenty of youtube tutorials that cover how to use it. So you need to; 1. Buy BTC from Coinbase or wherever 2. Send to wallet like Electrum 3. Lookup a market on Dread 4. Create account on market 5. Add personal PGP key to account so the market encrypts sensitive info only you can decrypt (such as 2FA codes and vendor messages) 6. Add things to purchase in cart 7. Calculate how much BTC you need for the order and plan to send a bit extra to cover shipping and whatever fees 8. Look up BTC mempool on Google. Choose appropriate fee (sats per byte) in Electrum when you send BTC to the market wallet. Typically you want it in the next block (within 10 min). 9. Wait for BTC to appear in market wallet. 9. Important part: for each vendor you order from, copy their PGP key and import it into Kleopatra. This way, you can encrypt your order info (name and address) with THEIR PGP KEY so only they can reamail. Always use real name and address. 10. Submit the order(s). Vendors may send you some general info that's encrypted with your key. Kleopatra can decrypt them. 11. Wait for goods to come in the mail.

>Reprocess the wallet creation operation and effectively obtain the same public & private keys Your plan fails here. The secret is created on the users computer not the blockchain. Even worse, only the bitcoin address is stored on the bitcoin which is a hash of the public key. YOU DO NOT EVEN HAVE THE PUBLIC KEY to start with. Your idea is dumb and maybe you should learn how things work before posting.

This is mad. A lot of people are scared to create a wallet, so they keep it all with Coinbase, and then when the company they trust appears to tell them to take custody but also GIVES THEM A COPY OF A KEY to move money to, guess what: 1. They probably trust Coinbase (and this fake one too), I mean, that was the whole point in not taking custody. 2. They have no idea what the risks of holding keys are, so they don't know that this is a big no no red flag. 3. They will follow the instructions because it came from a stranger and not someone they know and trust. Number 3 is fucking annoying as hell. I mean, there's that guy going around saying Bitcoin is untrusted money and that we should have more trust, not less, but he's conflating things. Bitcoin allows us to put more trust in our peers, and banks allow us to have less trust in our peers, but we put more trust in the institutions and get fucked because of it. And then we're gas lit into believing it was our fault, that the institutions didn't try to bubble wrap you to extract money from you, but forgot to mention that it doesn't protect you from a 15ft drop.

The problem is if for some reason you actually sign a bad contract or your wallet gets compromised (IT HAPPENS!) then your old seed phase will be a wasted space of ink on your body… What can be better! Is if you literally right down the alphabet. Example- A, B, C Then go back and do this A=D, B=Z, C=F and so on! Make your own encryption, the KEY (your encrypted alphabet) should be kept safe or even maybe tattoo that. You can always encrypt on the go! (You don’t have to tattoo it though) You can do the same thing with numbers but make it easy by using 0-9. Double digits get a bit confusing and do NOT use Letters to numbers, it will also get confusing.

Crypto was designed to be for responsible adults, and is meant to be the opposite to someone else being the caretaker of your wealth. When you entrust it with someone else, then technically it's not yours. And this goes against the decentralised ethos. But sure, for small amounts, on different exchanges, it's a pretty low risk. But when your funds grow then you'll find yourself considering a hardware wallet. But when you do, get one direct from the manufacturer. With a hardware wallet, set a 6 to 8 digit PIN on it. Write down your 24 key words on pieces of paper using non-fading ink. But put the first 12 words on 1 piece of paper and a copy of them in something like an online passord app, like 1Password or Lastpass. Also put those same first half of seed words in a sealed envelope and give to your lawyer for your Will. Then make multiple copies of the second half of 12 words. Give them to trusted family members and friends, especially in different cities if you can. But before you give out the second halfs of your keys, do the following... Transfer a small amount of crypto to your new wallet. Then, reset your hardware wallet, so that it is blank. Yep, delete it from the hardware device. Then restore it using all 24 key words that you'd written down. Then check that the crypto you deposited is actually there. This is good for a few reasons. Not only does it prove to yourself that you'd written down the 24 seed words correctly. But it gives you confidence of knowing that you can restore your wallet to a new/blank hardware wallet, should you lose or break your original. Note, that for those ppl that say you should never store your seed words online, nor give others your seed words, I agree. But no one is ever going to get into your wallet with only half of your 24 word seed phrase. Because even just 12 key words gives 2048^12 possibilities. I'd also recommend putting the copies of the second half of the keywords (the one younwill give to family/friends) in sealed envelopes with your name on them and the date you set up the wallet. The date helps distinguish between different lots of seed phrases, for when you have more than one hardware wallet. I know that this method won't be for everyone, and that there are other clever ways (some very expensive or time consuming) but this way works well and is very safe, if done properly. (I'm always curious and open to feedback and ideas on what othere here do with their keywords) NEVER TAKE PHOTOS OF YOUR KEYWORDS, NOR STORE THE ENTIRE SET OF KEY WORDS ONLINE OR IN ONE PHYSICAL LOCATION.

Haunting-Student-756

NO But to answer your ? About PGP yes that would likely be considered “safe” BUT you also have to store your PRIVATE KEY somewhere “safe” AND separate from your encrypted recovery key. Trying to accomplish this with USB or email storage would likely end up unrecoverable due to bit rot or account deletion.

InternationalBaker19

Ok from what I could find, here is the scam: - You want to withdraw money but you can't because you need a "KEY" - When you go check the Q&A you can see that you can't get the key back - They also tell you in the case you still got some balance in yhe account you can recreate an account and get a "VIP" plan because VIPs can transfer between them without entering the KEY (the account is VIP5 btw) - The VIP plans are costly (from 50$ for VIP1 to 50k$ for VIP5 plan)

That halving isn’t priced in my guy. People are FOMOing because blackrock and fidelity are dumping billions raising the price. People psychologically see bitcoin at ATH and want to FOMO in. As I mentioned earlier, most of RETAIL and businesses are not even invested in bitcoin yet. Once they finally start to realize what’s happening, it will be too late. Businesses will want to dump money in and SUDDENLY wont be able to. KEY WORD suddenly. Hence, a SUPPLY SHOCK. Lmao you can’t make this up. RIGHT NOW there’s plenty of BITCOIN. Very soon there’s to be a sudden decrease in supply. WHY? Because there isn’t enough bitcoin for everyone.

Hi_I_am_Zoltan

Ok. Other people might know better, but here's what I would do. Go to [blockchain.com](http://blockchain.com) and open an account. When you are done with it, go to upper right corner on your profile, and click on "Wallets and adresses". On the right side you will see a button: Import address Here you need to paste your PRIVATE KEY, the one where bitaddress coloured as RED. You will see the BTC appearing. After that transfer that BTC IMMEDIATELY to a safe place (your cold wallet preferably). I don't know if the website [blockchain.com](http://blockchain.com) needs KYC, but it's worth a shot.

StatisticalMan

Public address and public key are not the same thing. A quantum attack requires the attacker to know the public KEY. From that using shors algoritm and sufficiently large quantum computer they can compute the private key. If a (modern) address has only ever received bitcoins the public key is not known. Only the public address is (which is a hash of the public key). If however you have spent/moved even a single satoshi from that address then as part of that process you post both the signature and the public key and that address could be attacked.

**KEY TAKEAWAYS** - The long-legged doji is a candlestick that consists of long upper and lower shadows and has approximately the same opening and closing price. - The pattern shows indecision and is most significant when it occurs after a strong advance or decline. While some traders may act on the one-candle pattern, others want to see what the price does after the long-legged doji. - The pattern is not always significant, and won't always mark the end of a trend—it could mark the start of a consolidation period, or it may just end up being an insignificant blip in the current trend.

No, but the claim is that the AI invented new math that lets you reverse AES 192 encryption.... and that's with a KEY. They haven't even bothered trying to 256 hash data backwards... but there is no principal that says it cannot create new math to do it.

>it’s a long string There are multiple representations of a [private key](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Private_key). Some are: * raw hexadecimal private key: 64 characters long (made of numbers and letters A-F). * (standard) WIF key (Wallet Import Format): 51 characters long, starts with number 5 or 52 chars long starting with capital letter L or K. * mini private key format or mini WIF: 30 characters starting with capital letter S. * in the case of WIFs of any kind, other characters in the string are made of [base58check character set](https://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/moore/acl2/manuals/current/manual/index-seo.php/BITCOIN_____A2BASE58-CHARACTERS_A2). You may also have a [BIP39 seed phrase](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039.mediawiki) which is made of 12, 15, 18, 21 or 24 short words. There more esoteric options out there not widely used like BIP32 extended private (long string starting xprv...). DO NOT GIVE THE KEY YOU HAVE TO ANYONE. YOU MUST NOT GIVE EVEN A PART OF THAT KEY because if you reveal to much of it (and you don't know how much is too much), it may be possible to discover the rest of it and steal your Bitcoins. However, it is safe to indicate which one of the above you have.

With alts that have already pumped, you 1) wait for a pullback or 2) focus on alts showing a similar path that haven't spiked yet. SOL weekly chart below. Some observations: - 1. June was the month to buy, when price pushed out of the descending trend line, retested and held it as support. $15 at that time you'd now be sitting at a comfy 4X. 2. Price is currently in no-mans land, but **$76-77** is the KEY price level as this was the previous floor in the 2021 bull run - you can see how significant that level is from the chart. I'd say a far greater strategy would be to wait to see if price reaches that level - if it rejects there it's a great shorting opportunity, if it pushes through and holds that level then it's a good long 3. Conversely, **$44-45** was the ceiling/resistance in the 2022 downtrend and you can see price has pushed through last week after initially rejecting the week before. In time i'd expect this level to get retested from above, and if it holds then it's a good time to long or buy some spot SOL [https://www.tradingview.com/x/JsORTUSg/](https://www.tradingview.com/x/JsORTUSg/) TL/DR: now isn't a good time to buy, focus on the two black lines at $44/$76 to see how price reacts there.

Do you have a already existing wallet where you want to import reddits vault? The only way to setup reddits vault into a wallet via seedphrase is if you set up a fresh new wallet with the seed reddit provides. Won't work in existing ones. If you have already an existing wallet save your PRIVATE KEY (not seed) for it before you do anything else and import it again AFTER you set up reddits vault with the seed. Inconvenient i know but the only way it works to have reddits and alternative wallets in metamask for example.

So you may have heard the news that there's a fund called Grayscale Bitcoin Trust which holds Bitcoins and is tradeable. The idea is that it's a proxy for holding Bitcoin yourself and then having to manage risk of theft etc by yourself. However, Grayscale were denied the right to operate as an ETF by the SEC. Since there wasn't an easy mechanism to convert Grayscale units back into Bitcoin, this led to a substantial discount (25%?) developing on Grayscale relative to the value of their Bitcoin. With an ETF, this would be arbitraged away. Matt Levine talks about this in a newsletter today, it's worth a read. Now, a court has just overruled the SEC and stated that Grayscale can be turned into an ETF. This has caused a big rally in Bitcoin (~ 7%) because ANY BITCOIN NEWS IS GOOD NEWS FOR BITCOIN. It has also caused a rally of about 16% in Coinbase. However - KEY POINT OF THIS COMMENT - a moment's reflection will reveal: 1. Arbitraging the Grayscale unit price against Bitcoin to remove the discount, involves selling a LOT of Bitcoin. This is actually rather bad for the price of Bitcoin, to have a whale offloading a ton of them suddenly. 2. If Grayscale is a nicer alternative to holding actual Bitcoin, what do you need Coinbase for? Therefore I believe the rally in both Bitcoin and coinbase will reverse throughout the week.

`As someone who loves crypto and wants more than anything to see it succeed I am asking why has this space become over run with greed and lack of empathy?` Because it is seen as an investment as well now, so I won't bother answering something that's easily answerable. In which you're likely asking rhetorically because you already know the answer like most. `Why has number go up become the only thing that matters?` Poor people got in, they see it as their way out, they'd join the people at the top in a heart beat and betray the rest if they could. There isn't much difference at the top and bottom of the food chain. Instead of seeing Crypto as the way forward, it's the only way out in a fast time frame, and to them they don't understand anything beyond the numbers going up or down. See the typical and brazen way most of these people say things like, "don't know shit about shit", etc. They're so willing to admit how absolutely ignorant they are and they upvote each other as some sort of funny movie line (despite being overused, and always said in dozens of threads a day, you're not funny at all). `Why is it laughable to care about the tech?` It's obvious why, they don't want the world to be different. They just want to complain about the way the world is, but again, they'd happily join the people at the top. The tech is just a joke to them because this is the only way to get rich and join those people fast and escape the rat race. `Why has decentralization become a "nice to have" for a system that had the main goal of removing trust and centralization?` Money matters, they believe in compromises so that more people will jump in faster. ***"WE NEED REGULATION IT'S THE ONLY WAY FORWARD TO ADOPTION!"*** (I really want more people buying my tokens so price goes up) ***"PEOPLE LOSING THEIR CRYPTO KEY IS EXACTLY WHY THIS IS A HARD SELL TO AVERAGE FOLK AND WHY NOT EVERYONE CAN SELF CUSTODY"*** `I know these are all very hard questions and I know I will probably get downvoted to fuck for asking them but luckily that is not something that bothers me.` They're not hard questions, they're sort of self answered. And who cares if you get downvoted why mention it? People on reddit are hardly people. They come off as bots more than anything. Most threads have the same unfunny jokes, same rehashed lines, random comments nothing to do with the topic. You get more engaging discussion on 4chan about these sorts of things. `Lastly I would like to ask can we change this? Is it too late? How could we move past this OR cant we and it is all down hill from here?` You can't change the majority. It's too late. More people will jump in each cycle, but it will be less and less people who care about the system, and are looking only to benefit. They'll be redirected into the same scams in this new system that's a hybrid of traditional and new finance. It won't change how the players at the top control things. Most people get money and just end up blowing it anyways, there are biological issues at play that prevent people from being smart with time/money and it's actually really depressing when you research into it.

Ledger recently built key extraction APIs into their firmware. Oh, whoa, holy hell, no. That's when I bailed on their hardware. API stands for Application Programming Interface. An API is basically a list of commands that, when received, output info or execute a function. For example, if you have Philips Hue smart lights, your lights have an API that allows apps to set your lights to whatever color, at whatever brightness and saturation. Pretty cool! Ledger added APIs on Ledger hardware to do KEY EXTRACTION. Granted, there are safety precautions in place, but still... Ledger hardware isn't supposed to have the ability to send the keys over the internet. That's what Ledger told us for YEARS. Then they wrote the code to do it and they put that code on our devices as part of the firmware. Hell no. That's not ok. [Here's more info, with quotes from Ledger](https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/15uuhex/after_whats_felt_like_an_eternity_of_buying_2/jwu3ygy/), but this one quote pretty much says it all: > There's no backdoor and I obviously can't prove it > SOURCE: [btchip, Ledger owner & co-founder](https://np.reddit.com/r/ledgerwallet/comments/13itm7u/is_there_a_backdoor_yes_or_no/jkbvys7/) ...they can't prove their hardware doesn't have backdoors that can be exploited by them, by other companies, or by hackers?!?!? ...they can't prove their hardware is SAFE?!?!? Hell no. I'm done with Ledger.

AI's rapid growth is indeed intriguing, yet it's important not to overlook the potential of Decentralized Identity tokens like ENS, ORE, and KEY. These tokens are also paving the way for innovative advancements and could be worth exploring.

I’m not saying low fees is something you can build en entire project around, obviously. But you can’t also tell me it’s just a cute little extra. As some other fellas pointed out, low fees is KEY for mass adoption. Regular Joe won’t get involved in crypto if you tell him he’ll lose 5-10% of his money just moving around his assets. Low fees is something all crypto should point towards to. And that’s of course besides every other use every coin and project has.

This is one of the KEY aspects of using crypto: ALWAYS bookmark your crypto links and never click sponsored links (they show up before the real link).

How can I purchase $10k worth of Bitcoin and hold it for the next 5 years in anticipation of earning a 10x profit? Alternatively, I could purchase low-cap tokens like ORE, KEY, and others, which might potentially yield a 20x profit during the next bull market.

Full disclosure - this is not a pure Bitcoin response - So I don't know for sure, but this may be of some interest as with all things. Do your own diligence. But here is a long term play. 1. look into trusts. - you don't own them, you are a beneficiary, the kids(s) are beneficiaries etc. (something of a current day tax shield and a long term inheritance tax shield.. not elimination just a limitation.) 2. Find a way to "Employ" the children: * Make a side business, figure out away to put them on "Payroll" pay them \*JUST UNDER\* reportable income i think it's currently 12k a year? * Open a Custodial Roth. (This is where the need for "Income" comes from. - The need a w2/w9 for this at any age.) * Plow in as much of the "income" annually as you can for each child. ( look into the tax benefits for you as the "Business owner" * Bonus round - look into Crypto Roth's. trades / purchases/conversions/ etc. that happens within the bounds of the Roth are not taxable. Taxes are taken from the money - on the way in. so all those crypto gains from initial and subsequent investment(s) are.. :) Joyful. ​ * A good trust attorney will be \*KEY\* ​ ​ * I have worries about long term bitcoin storage, whit various devices having "issues" such that true "Cold Storage" is... well problematic for anyone whos not invested in it. Your kids probably aren't yet - but they could be in time. * A trust can be constructed to hold just about any and every asset imaginable within it. (again Do you due Diligence here for your specific case, taking into account state and federal laws where needed.) ​ The bottom line, if you throw together a Custodial Crypto Based Roth, and \*only\* funded it say from child's age 8 to 18, ( mixed in other real assets) you've probably set up that child for the retirement of dreams. If your child does this for their children, you've not propagated true Generational wealth. Best wishes on this - please do the research for your specifics to see if this is something you'd be comfortable to engage on. lastly - weather it's Bitcoin, (or other digital assets) or Cash or Gold. The main thing is to keep more than the Govt takes. (Risk and Tax Management - not complete avoidance We call that fraud, and your probably to cute to go to jail.)

I'm not a fans of memecoins, but from experience, coins with real use cases has more potentials than memecoin, especially low cap tokens, the likes of ORE, ENS & KEY are good examples

>Bad actors are the disease among the human race. ALL humans are corruptible. Incentives drive human behavior. Using the LotR analogy, when a human has access to the OneRing, they ***become*** corrupt, precisely ***because*** they have ultimate power, and ultimate power corrupts ultimately. The monopoly on violence is ultimate power. It is consentless. It cannot be shut off by the individual. "*A man is no less a slave just because he is allowed to choose a new master ever term of years*" - Lysander Spooner I'm not suggesting you can eliminate all bad actions. I'm simply saying, observing incentives and structuring incentives properly are KEY to minimizing bad actions. This means 1) acknowledging that the MoV creates perverse incentives, which can only result in bad behaviors, and 2) organizing society (if that is your intent) via peaceful voluntary means, which allows consent mechanisms (or the threat of withdrawn consent) to provide the proper incentive to shape good behaviors. But first and foremost, diagnosis of THE problem needs to be correct. Bad money is a symptom of the disease, not the disease itself. The disease is that any human CAN become corrupt, ultimate power corrupts ultimately, and THE STATE (The MoV) is ultimate power.

OCEAN is one of the token I'm looking up to do well in the next bull run, I'm also expecting to see decentralized identity tokens like ORE, ENS & KEY, with the increasing need for security in web3, I think it'll do well during the bull run.

Bitcoin is a proof-of-work system. This is KEY to understand. Bitcoin isn’t about getting rich so much as it’s about balance of power. It doesn’t matter how much one entity can accumulate, they can’t change the protocol. Their million bitcoin has the same vote as your single Satoshi. This is why centralized systems don’t like proof of work; they can’t control it. If the Microsoft’s and Micro Strategies of the world want to buy up as much bitcoin as their incentives demand, then have at it. If they want to issue stock off their bitcoin then I feel for their shareholders and anyone else who wants to trust their bitcoin with a company that’s subject to State Capture. The reason we won’t be back to business as usual in this scenario is because of bitcoin’s verifiability properties. You can’t double spend bitcoin unless you convince the IOU holders that they should trust you. Good luck convincing serious share holders who will/do know how to verify. Regarding socio-economic demographics. I’ve asked this question before, and the answer it will depend on how incentivized people are to take personal responsibility over their time.

HODL! I saw my portfolio climb up from $3k to $40k then back to just $600 because I heard HODLING IS THE KEY. Take the fucking profit out!!!!

Agreed! Accumulating altcoins during the dip can lead to great long-term gains. Researching low-cap altcoins with strong liquidity and tokenomics is key. And don't forget about assets driving web3 adoption, like decentralized identity solutions such as ORE and KEY. They can be strategic investments.

Ok-Western-5799

Absolutely, accumulating altcoins during the dip can be a smart move for long-term gains. While the market may seem slow at first, the arrival of the "fomo gang" can drive significant price increases. It's important to research low-cap altcoins with strong liquidity and tokenomics to maximize potential benefits. Additionally, investing in assets with utilities that drive web3 adoption, like decentralized identity solutions such as ORE and KEY, can be a strategic choice.

KEY TAKEAWAYS * Renewed push by traditional financial firms for bitcoin spot ETFs may boost bitcoin prices. *Analysts say the worst of the bitcoin bear market is over, prices may cross $100K over the next couple of years. *Regulatory developments and outcomes of important legal battles between the SEC and crypto platforms could have big impact on crypto markets *A recession driven by government policy could help the crypto market if it's perceived as a decentralized safe haven.

>BTC and ETH forget the rest There are numerous other tokens with diverse utilities and long-term potential, one can buy in addition to BTC and ETH In particular, tokens focused on decentralized identity (DID) like KEY, LIT, and ORE are worth considering.

Same thing! I started buying .25 cents an hour in November 2022. I slowly increased the hourly purchase amount every week (50 cents then 75 cents etc…)Now I buy about 2.00 per hour and when it peaks if I need money I take out never more than a certain percent of my total BTC. But the KEY(for me) IS TO ALWAYS BE BUYING. It’s fun to watch the charts and I’ll liquidate some when I see it high. Still at great buy at 30k. Cheers everyone and happy Bitcoining! Best is yet to come.

Either way is possible according to ChatGPT. You just need to create an API key on CoinGecko's and then use it within this code snippet: import requests # Replace 'YOUR_API_KEY' with your actual CoinGecko API key api_key = 'YOUR_API_KEY' # Set up the request headers headers = { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Authorization': f'Bearer {api_key}' } # Make GET request to fetch the portfolio data response = requests.get('https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3/account/watchlist', headers=headers) portfolio_data = response.json() # Extract relevant information from the response portfolio = portfolio_data['data']['items'] # Print portfolio data for item in portfolio: coin = item['coin'] quantity = item['quantity'] value = item['value'] print(f'Coin: {coin}, Quantity: {quantity}, Value: {value}') Make sure to replace 'YOUR_API_KEY' with your actual CoinGecko API key. The code sets up the request headers with the API key, makes a GET request to fetch the portfolio data, and extracts the relevant information from the response. It then prints the coin, quantity, and value for each item in the portfolio.

I think in the link below they acknowledge offline is the way enough times that it’s sold as that, offline but I’m no lawyer so maybe I’m wrong. See below: [Ledger Website](https://www.ledger.com/academy/how-can-you-sign-online-transactions-when-your-private-key-is-offline) Heres a Ledger article published April 2022 and updated May 9th 2023 with key takeaways of the following: KEY TAKEAWAYS: — Cryptocurrency is inherently online with blockchain transactions living on the internet, but the **internet is a bit of a dangerous place and hacking and attacking leaves online digital-funds vulnerable.** — Hardware wallets are designed to **keep private keys off the internet and away from the online connection points that hackers can get to.** First paragraphs: Your house is your sanctuary – the place where you store your most precious possessions, and where you can be absolutely sure that nobody else can come in. So imagine locking the door to your precious abode, leaving the key under the mat, and walking away…anxious yet? **An Offline Key is the Only Key** It might seem like a different world, but this scenario is not all that far away from how you handle your crypto. When you create a blockchain address, your ownership of everything stored there depends on your private keys. If someone else gets those keys, consider your stuff gone. And just like in real life, most of the threats to your private keys come from opportunists seeking easy access to your address. For crypto, these opportunists tend to reside online – so keeping your keys in an online wallet can be an open invitation to hackers looking to access your blockchain address. A key stored online is simply not safe. And that can be complicated. —————— So they acknowledge “A key stored online is simply not safe. And that can be complicated.” but now that profit is involved they solved that issue 100%…. That’s very convenient and this article was updated not even 1 week ago!

Incorrect. The hardware wallet receives a message that it signs with it's cryptographic key, which itself should never be available to the client. The key must be completely unavailable to it's host computer, otherwise it's not any better than a hot wallet on a PC. I repeat: The ENTIRE FUCKING POINT of hardware wallets is to PROTECT THE FUCKING KEY.

lol, sorry. I'm not really a python dev and chat GPT is prone to hallucinate code from time to time. I'll do one more round with chat GPT, but I'm not gonna act as a go between after this. hopefully this solves it: Apologies for the confusion. It seems that the bitcointx library does not have built-in support for XOnlyPubKey. In that case, you can use the python-bitcointx library which has support for x-only public keys and Schnorr signatures (BIP-340). First, you'll need to install python-bitcointx using pip: pip install python-bitcointx Then, modify your script as follows: python from bitcointx import set_custom_secp256k1_path set_custom_secp256k1_path('./bitcointx_secp256k1_here/libsecp256k1.2.dylib') from bitcointx.wallet import P2TRBitcoinTestnetAddress, CBitcoinTestnetExtKey from bitcointx.core import BIP340_XOnlyPubKey, CKeyBase sender_priv_key = CBitcoinTestnetExtKey('PRIVATE KEY TESTNET EXTENDED WIF') sender_pub_key = sender_priv_key.pub # Convert the public key to a BIP340 x-only public key xonly_pub_key = BIP340_XOnlyPubKey.from_pubkey(sender_pub_key) # Construct a P2TR address using the x-only public key addrs_for_script = P2TRBitcoinTestnetAddress.from_pubkey(xonly_pub_key) print(addrs_for_script)

fubungh

courtesy of ChatGPT 4 - I haven't verified this, but thought it's the type of question it'd probably be good at answering The error "not a P2TR scriptPubKey" occurs because the script you're trying to derive a P2TR address from is not a valid P2TR scriptPubKey. In your script, you're using a simple pay-to-public-key (P2PK) script: python ``` csript_from_pub = CScript([sender_pub_key, OP_CHECKSIG]) ``` To create a P2TR address, you need to construct a pay-to-taproot (P2TR) scriptPubKey using the Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) 340 specification. Here's an updated version of your script that should correctly derive a P2TR address: python ``` from bitcointx import set_custom_secp256k1_path set_custom_secp256k1_path('./bitcointx_secp256k1_here/libsecp256k1.2.dylib') from bitcointx.wallet import P2TRBitcoinTestnetAddress, CBitcoinTestnetExtKey from bitcointx.core import XOnlyPubKey from bitcointx.core.key import CKeyBase sender_priv_key = CBitcoinTestnetExtKey('PRIVATE KEY TESTNET EXTENDED WIF') sender_pub_key = sender_priv_key.pub # Convert the public key to a BIP340 x-only public key xonly_pub_key = XOnlyPubKey.from_pubkey(sender_pub_key) # Construct a P2TR address using the x-only public key addrs_for_script = P2TRBitcoinTestnetAddress.from_pubkey(xonly_pub_key) print(addrs_for_script) ``` This script first converts the public key to an x-only public key as specified in BIP340. Then, it uses the `P2TRBitcoinTestnetAddress.from_pubkey()` method to create a P2TR address from the x-only public key. Make sure to replace 'PRIVATE KEY TESTNET EXTENDED WIF' with the actual private key in extended WIF format for testnet.

KEY POINTS Tech investor Chamath Palihapitiya, who previously claimed bitcoin has replaced gold and would eventually get to $200,000, now says "crypto is dead in America." "The United States authorities have firmly pointed their guns at crypto," Palihapitiya said on the latest episode of the All-In podcast. The SEC has ramped up its enforcement of the crypto industry, bearing down on companies and projects that were allegedly selling unregistered securities.

I wasn't clear in making the KEY point - I'm trying to find the cheapest option. I trust all those I listed, but the fees with this amount obviously matter. CryptoPay had worked for me on a smaller amount yesterday but now I notice their fees are actually pretty bad.

The code you've provided is quite efficient for creating a Bitcoin native SegWit transaction with an OP\_RETURN message. However, there are a few optimizations and improvements you can make: Remove unnecessary imports: In your code, you've imported addr\_non\_seg, but it's not used anywhere. You can remove this line: addr\_non\_seg = recPrivKey.get\_public\_key().get\_address() Remove the unnecessary script code and signing flags: The 'OP\_DUP', 'OP\_HASH160', 'OP\_EQUALVERIFY', 'OP\_CHECKSIG' opcodes are necessary for P2PKH (Pay-to-Public-Key-Hash) transactions. However, you're creating a P2WPKH (Pay-to-Witness-Public-Key-Hash) transaction, which uses a different script. The script code for signing P2WPKH transactions is the public key hash (PKH) itself. You can simplify the script code as follows: script\_code = addrs\_for\_script.to\_hash160() For SegWit transactions, you don't need to use the SIGHASH\_ANYONECANPAY flag, as it's generally used for non-SegWit transactions when you want to allow others to add inputs to the transaction. You can remove it from your signing process: txsign1 = priv.sign\_segwit\_input(tx, 0, script\_code, to\_satoshis(0.00032557), SIGHASH\_ALL) Use more descriptive variable names: Using more descriptive variable names can make your code easier to understand and maintain. For example, you could replace priv with sender\_priv\_key, pub with sender\_pub\_key, recPrivKey with receiver\_priv\_key, and addr with receiver\_addr. Here's the optimized version of your code with these suggestions: from bitcoinutils.utils import to\_satoshis from bitcoinutils.setup import setup from bitcoinutils.transactions import Transaction, TxInput, TxOutput from bitcoinutils.script import Script from bitcoinutils.keys import PrivateKey as utilPrivKey from bitcoinutils.constants import SIGHASH\_ALL setup('testnet') sender\_priv\_key = utilPrivKey.from\_wif('SENDING ADDRESS PRIVATE KEY') sender\_pub\_key = sender\_priv\_key.get\_public\_key().to\_hex() addrs\_for\_script = sender\_priv\_key.get\_public\_key().get\_address() receiver\_priv\_key = utilPrivKey.from\_wif('RECEIVING ADDRESS PRIVATE KEY') receiver\_addr = receiver\_priv\_key.get\_public\_key().get\_segwit\_address() txin1 = TxInput("947145005bac29a9966403e986b8a36cb225cba504bffbb3f6c1da7dba7197be", 1) txin2 = TxInput("aea283b193f2179cb6a5c2bcea4b9ad7158960696ebfb5c15d22a0411f25dafe", 0) script\_code = addrs\_for\_script.to\_hash160() msg1 = "69eb032167c25784108b9783c9d59ce23608d00238eb9e3c03c73cdd79f74528" op\_return\_script = Script(\["OP\_RETURN", msg1\]) txoutOpR = TxOutput(0, op\_return\_script) txout = TxOutput(to\_satoshis(0.00034416), receiver\_addr.to\_script\_pub\_key()) tx = Transaction(\[txin1, txin2\], \[txoutOpR, txout\], has\_segwit=True) txsign1 = sender\_priv\_key.sign\_segwit\_input(tx, 0, script\_code, to\_satoshis(0.00032557), SIGHASH\_ALL) tx.witnesses = \[Script(\[txsign1, sender\_pub\_key\])\] txsign2 = sender\_priv\_key.sign\_segwit\_input(tx, 1, script\_code, to\_satoshis(0.00006859), SIGHASH\_ALL) tx.witnesses.append(Script(\[txsign2, sender\_pub\_key\])) signed\_tx = tx.serialize() print("raw tx below this line") print(signed\_tx) print("raw tx above this line")

Oh nice! Good job! I actually got my code to work too. This is my script that takes 2 hard coded outputs and spits out a working transaction: ``` from bitcoinutils.utils import to_satoshis from bitcoinutils.setup import setup from bitcoinutils.transactions import Transaction, TxInput, TxOutput from bitcoinutils.script import Script from bitcoinutils.keys import PrivateKey as utilPrivKey from bitcoinutils.constants import SIGHASH_ALL, SIGHASH_ANYONECANPAY setup('testnet') # private key for tb1qj6zz96g8xgrwpgmdlvmkrjlwzz54sf47086yc9 priv = utilPrivKey.from_wif('PRIVATE KEY FOR SENDING ADDRESS') pub = priv.get_public_key().to_hex() addrs_for_script = priv.get_public_key().get_address() # private key for tb1qxgm8j0cq7tnftef3t563psl56gtmzxanm5c9uy recPrivKey = utilPrivKey.from_wif('PRIVATE KEY FOR RECEIVING ADDRESS') # This UTXO has 0.00009839 btc txin1 = TxInput("102172a062da813c3aa8cc2fb3d523cf2db300e54cd680c2129c23c97db9dd8e", 0) # This UTXO has 0.00026859 btc txin2 = TxInput("b3fcae0b28b387475a123c056298aec0ba3759cd019f9d0975f5af0874f395ff", 1) addr = recPrivKey.get_public_key().get_segwit_address() addr_non_seg = recPrivKey.get_public_key().get_address() # the script code required for signing for p2wpkh is the same as p2pkh script_code = Script(['OP_DUP', 'OP_HASH160', addrs_for_script.to_hash160(), 'OP_EQUALVERIFY', 'OP_CHECKSIG']) # remaining 0.00005 is tx fees txout = TxOutput(to_satoshis(0.00031698), addr.to_script_pub_key()) # create transaction from inputs/outputs -- default locktime is used tx = Transaction([txin1, txin2], [txout], has_segwit=True) txsign1 = priv.sign_segwit_input(tx, 0, script_code, to_satoshis(0.00009839), SIGHASH_ALL | SIGHASH_ANYONECANPAY) tx.witnesses = [ Script([txsign1, pub]) ] txsign2 = priv.sign_segwit_input(tx, 1, script_code, to_satoshis(0.00026859), SIGHASH_ALL) tx.witnesses.append( Script([txsign2, pub]) ) signed_tx = tx.serialize() print("raw tx below this line") print(signed_tx) print("raw tx above this line") ```

What is this clown talking about. 1. "the numbers in crypto aren't real" - willing buyer willing seller you dumb MF 2. "millions of people have lost access to their account at FTX" - first of all, the exchange was fraudulent, not the crypto infrastructure itself. Self custody, have you heard of it!? (EVEN IF I LOST MY OWN PRIVATE KEY, SEED PHRASE, ETC -> if I lose my cash or a gold bar, is fiat and gold a ponzi too? I am pretty sure I can't get those back if I drop them somewhere.) 3. "NFT hate" -> okay the NFT arguments sound alot like the NFT hate comments on this sub 4. "Wash Trading" - do you think this doesn't happen in legacy markets? lmao

This is KEY. Buying BTC on a Dex P2P isn’t that hard and most of this sub could do it. You just have to TRY IT. Worse case it isn’t for you. If you truly believe in Bitcoin this is how it is meant to be used. Peer to Peer. I haven’t used Coinbase in half a year and I was class of 20/21 just like a lot of you. Started from buying on PayPal, to getting burned on shitcoins/staking, then cold storage, to using my own node, to using Dex’s like BISQ. Just take it one step at a time…

Governance is KEY to Enterprises. No self respecting Enterprise or Government is going to put a mission critical use case, supporting billions of transactions onto a network with poor governance. Most L1s today have governance that is downright murky. Unkown miners or teams of developers controlling the network, each to an unknown degree, in unknown ways for unknown reasons. Its truly a minefield for any self respecting Enterprise or Government. The dangers run from outright theft and disappearance, forking, funds vanishing, the network failing, security flaws, corruption, poor performance etc, etc, etc. An Enterprise cannot have that. They simply cannot deploy on such a platform (no matter how big the potential return from the use case). So..... Along comes Hedera. A governing council of upto 39, known, term limited, international, dispersed, platform independent, organisations each of which have billions invested in their reputations, and who want a public network for the utility it provides. 39 Enterprises who meet publicly, whose minutes are formally documented and made accessible to everyone. With members with knowledge of the areas they run, who are identifiable. Each organisation with an EQUAL share of the control. The truth is, Hedera is MORE Decentralised than other networks already. This year community nodes will be added, so people outside of the Governing Council will be running nodes. I don`t know how many nodes there will be at the end of 2023, but I know it will be significantly more than 28. And that number will rise, year on year. Eventually anonymous nodes will be added and IMO the numbers will be many thousands of nodes.

I will quote /u/Ricola63 : There are two main themes to the answer. 1. There are FAR more types of use cases for a public DLT than either ETH (2.0) or its many L2`s, or any BTC variant can technically meet (OR come anywhere close to meeting). MOST of these are Enterprise usecases requiring billions of Txns to be registered on a secure Pubic Network. Hedera can meet that requirement, indeed was built for it. Since Scale will ultimately win any competitions between competing platforms it is highly likely Hedera will have scaled before other platforms can catch up. Indeed we already see this strategy paying off as Hedera is, by miles, the most used public network. Its Enterprises that bring these use cases off the bat, startups may build to those kind of massive use cases over time but Enterprises can often simply choose to move onto a Public DLT to achieve the results. 2. Governance is KEY to Enterprises. No self respecting Enterprise or Government is going to put a mission critical use case, supporting billions of transactions onto a network with poor governance. Most L1`s today have governance that is downright murky. Unkown miners or teams of developers controlling the network, each to an unknown degree, in unknown ways for unknown reasons.

KEY TAKEAWAYS: Federal Reserve, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency again warn banks about risks tied to cryptocurrency. The joint statement follows a similar warning only seven weeks ago. Regulators have updated their comments in light of recent stablecoin scrutiny.

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Private_key > **Base58 Wallet Import format** > > When importing or sweeping ECDSA private keys, a shorter format known as wallet import format is often used, which offers a few advantages. The wallet import format is shorter, and includes built-in error checking codes so that typos can be automatically detected and/or corrected (which is impossible in hex format) and type bits indicating how it is intended to be used. Wallet import format is the most common way to represent private keys in Bitcoin. For private keys associated with uncompressed public keys, they are 51 characters and always start with the number 5 on mainnet (9 on testnet). Private keys associated with compressed public keys are 52 characters and start with a capital L or K on mainnet (c on testnet).

KEY POINTS The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) could be gearing up to take action against Paxos, a company that issued the Binance USD (BUSD) stablecoin. The SEC hasn’t begun official action. But the agency’s actions are being watched closely because if it starts an official procedure, then it could have huge implications for all stablecoins including tether and USDC. For its part, Paxos said it “categorically disagrees with the SEC staff because BUSD is not a security under the federal securities laws.”
