KEY

DeaderthanZed

The 12 word recovery phrase IS YOUR PRIVATE KEY. That’s how you demonstrate control and gain ability to send/transact from the corresponding public address. For the love of god spend 10 minutes researching public/private key pair cryptography before going any further or you will likely lose access to your crypto or be scammex at some point.

A private key is your unique code to access all funds in that crypto wallet. It’s important to take the necessary steps to protect your private key. If you loose that private key or someone steals it, say goodbye to all your crypto in that wallet. Once you get your Trezor, and set up your wallet, it will generate a code for your wallet. What’s good about these types of cold wallets is that they will generate the private key strictly inside the hardware, not connected to any internet. This is a crucial step to protecting your private key. To store you private key: Once your private key is generated and on the trezor, write it down on paper and store it some where safe, such as a safe or a deposit box. A few pieces of advice: - NEVER EVER SHARE YOU PRIVATE KEY TO ANYONE!!! Regardless if it’s someone personal or someone online, NEVER EVER SHARE IT!! - Never store your private key online. If it’s online and your device gets hacked, they can access your wallet and all your funds. - Buy crypto from a hot wallet and swap into your trezor (cold wallet). This minimizes risk and saves money from fees. (Cold wallet platforms charge more if you buy crypto directly from the platform.) - Be vigilant and recognize scams, grifts, or malicious links. Don’t click on any links you don’t trust, they may have access to your wallet. Never sign any malicious contracts you don’t trust, they may access your wallet. - Always double check transactions and signing contracts. Some contracts can be modified in a way that when you sign it, it can drain those specific coins you signed for or even worse, your whole wallet. Overall, millions of wallets get hacked and it’s not the platform or companies fault. It’s user error. If you can be on top of safety and minimize risk, your chances of getting drained / hacked is minimal. It all starts with the users first and foremost. It’s your responsibility to protect your asset and keep it safe. That’s why it’s called “DeFi”. “Decentralized Finance”, meaning, no one has control over your assets except for the person who has the private key. There’s a saying that’s popular in crypto and it goes: “Not your keys, not your coins” Stay safe my friend.

Yes if you still had the SEED PHRASE AND OR THE PRIVATE KEY OR THE RECOVERY PHRASE (seed and recovery and the same thing I think). If you have those or one of you can go to a NEW app or wallet service even ledger wallet (but I’ve never done an old account re end rated on ledger) but MOST OR ALL WALLETS (choose a self custodial) or turn that on so that you then get the key to hold not them. Aka CoinBase or Binance. So if you had the info a seed phrase recovery or the Pkey private Key looks similar like a Public adress but it’s NOT so don’t ever share this any of the data with anyone even people saying they will help you they will steal it. But if you have it get a crypto wallet app and “IMPORT WALLET” it will ask for the SEED OR RECOVERY LIKE 12 or 24 word phrases just paste words lower case and no Commas just a space between each. Then if there is anything or IF IT IS NOT disabled or like other owner closed account then it will show you whatever was on there in 2010 but it will be at todays prices. Also BIG NOTE! IF YOU MIGRATE/IMPORT ANY WALLET OLD OR NEW THAT YOU want on a new app etc GO AND MOVE THE FUNDS TO A NEW WALLET ON THAT account. Just make a new wallet write down NEW SEED OR Recovery PHRASE FOR WALLET AND MOVE YOUR FUNDS THERE. Why? Because now the app you used you’ve given them your seed. SURE many don’t collect this but you can’t be to safe.

Especially: how do you reverse engineer / engineer an algorithm that creates a similar enough address you have THE PRIVATE KEY TO in the split second moment, you copy & paste an address from one place to another.

Thanks for taking the time, it's really good for more people to see how these scams work. And I'd say the KEY takeaway from all this is to always research the token's contract and wallet distributions, at the very least with bots with anti-scam and anti-rug, like [Banana Gun](https://docs.bananagun.io/). I realize crypto scams will get more and more sophisticated, but as long as you get all the info you can on a project, the risks are way lower.

You don’t own any bitcoin when you don’t control the keys. Most exchanges let you at least send bitcoin to external wallets. It’s a good idea to periodically do this if you’re planning on holding long term, because if an exchange gets hacked or shut down, you could lose access to your claim to that bitcoin. The beauty of the bitcoin network is that if you have the keys to your Bitcoin on the blockchain ( in a wallet ) you won’t have to worry about exchange issues. However, you do have to be absolutely sure you understand that you are responsible for securing your funds. A seed phrase that is generated is the KEY to your funds. If you store it online and someone gets access, say goodbye to your Bitcoin. If you lose your seed, say goodbye to your Bitcoin. If someone convinces you to enter your seed somewhere online because you’re the type of person that easily falls for scams, say goodbye to your Bitcoin. All that said I would recommend Trezor as a good hardware wallet.

This thread is filled with non-experts who don't know what advanced BTC users will do to obfuscate the location. Ask chatGPT, not this forum. Ask these questions: What is a derivation path , and how can you scan all the paths to make sure no coins are on non-standard ones? What is a 25th word? In general, while you can enter seed words and find wallets, there may be additional wallets on different derivation paths, and an infinite amount of 25th words to the seed phrase. People will also obfuscate seed phrases. So if you have receipt of how he bought it, then you can be more sure when you find it. 2021 isn't that far ago, so there are not that many things that gained or airdrops you can now claim (mostly with other currencies). It does sound like you used default configurations and are not expert users so hopefully it's as straight forward as entering the key. DO NOT ENTER THE KEY ON A DEVICE CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET. Once you have coins, send to a hardware wallet, and preferably only use a hardware wallet, and one bought directly from the manufacturer fedexed direct (man in the middle attacks on the scamazon supply chain are common).

*****KEY INFORMATION***** First of all Welcome. Bitcoin and all of crypto is actually a software technology called "blockchain" Everything you do on the internet requires a protocol. Examples are Videos (Mp4 is the protocol) audio (Mp3 is the protocol) Every link you click that directs you somewhere online is another protocol. Bitcoin and crypto is another protocol layer ontop of everything. Why that is important is because of the transfer of data. Currently we live in a 1to1 (one piece of data at a time) Imagine I'm giving you a bottle of water. I can either hand you 1 bottle at a time. Or a whole case, or a whole pallet, or a whole truck load at a time. That's essentially what blockchain (all of crypto) does. The more people that are on the planet. The more data you're going to use and the faster you need that data to transfer This is the problem bitcoin and crypto solve. To keep things simple without going crazy with too much to read for ya I'll say this Bitcoin is like digital gold Ethereum is like digital Oil (literally needed for every crypto transaction) There's literally 1,000's more crypto with use cases all over the board from infrastructure to banking to governments already using them including brics nation and India using xrp ripple for all oil transactions (oil is in the cars, it's cooking oil, it's used in all polyester fabrics). Feel free to ask any questions. I'm here to help. I've been in the space for about 3 years. To find the right crypto you wanna be looking at infrastructure. For instance currently in this cycle. These are some of the top crypto to buy right now. Gaming , RWA (real world assets), Ai, Dpin. What you do is go download 2 apps. Coinmarketcap.com And Crypto Bubbles Use both of these with each other Crypto bubbles gives you price analysis And on Coinmarketcap you can sort projects by category. Crypto Bubbles will show you yearly, monthly, weekly, daily and hourly. If it's more green than red then it's worth looking into. The higher percentage the better. When in doubt zoom out When you're looking for something good it's best to find something that's up for the year. Then the month and week. Bitcoin moves 1st then Ethereum then everything else. Their will be day long periods of everything needing to catch up. Sometimes weeks or months. Here's a tip. All prices will fluctuate. When bitcoin goes down. Use crypto bubbles and watch what recovers on the hour and daily the fastest. This usually indicates a strong project with more potential. Making it worth looking into. Using coinmarketcap you can find the project's main webpage and do research on who owns the company, how strong the community is on different platforms, how many developers, who their partners are. The name of the game is doing your own research. Know who and what you're spending your hard earned money on regardless of what of what other people say. If you have any questions feel free to ask and if you'd like me to give ya good sources and people to follow and what to look for on the charts let me know. I'm here to help never any charge. I love this technology.

Why are delisted shitcoins rallying? IRIS, GFT, KEY

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; Binance, the largest crypto exchange by trading activity, announced it will delist five tokens—Gifto (GFT), IRISnet (IRIS), SelfKey (KEY), OAX (OAX), and Ren (REN)—by December 10 due to non-compliance with industry standards. This decision led to a significant sell-off, causing the tokens to drop by nearly 40%. Binance did not specify which standards were unmet but mentioned factors like project commitment, development quality, and trading volume. The delisting affects trading pairs, loans, and futures positions, with deposits and withdrawals ceasing by mid-December. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Risk Management is KEY! DCA with a small amount.. And don't panic when bitcoin is down. Just relax and continue to DCA with a small amount ($10 a week or month), depending on your budget. And dude health > investments. If you maintain your health up until the end you'll not only enjoy investing but always enjoy rewarding yourself later in life. Think long terms here! You're only 27 and sky's the limit.

> So you are telling me that the 25th seed phrase wouldn't add an extra protection to a cold wallet I have not said anything like this. Again, I have not talked about hardware wallets at all. You did. But to be clear: Entirely depends on the hw wallet. Ledger for example stores the seed (essentially the mnemonic + passphrase) behind the pin. If a hacker breaks into that device then yes, passphrase did not offer any additional protection. Most other hardware does not storw the seed and requires the passphrase to be input manually after unlocking. In this case it dies offer additional protection. BUT AGAIN: A brute force attack against PRIVATE KEYS can be carried out regardless of what wallet you are using. Hardware, Software, hot, cold, doesn't matter in the slightest. The brute force attack would try to find a PRIVATE KEY, which can be used directly to spend UTXOs under its control. This key is a couple of steps down the road, mnemonic ans passphrase do nit matter at this stage. At all.

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!

Still gotta save the KEY AND remember the password

MysteriousBelt5536

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.

user84011

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.

HEY WE’RE PRIVATE KEY NEIGHBORS! MINE IS THE SAME BUT IT ENDS IN “LmA0” instead of “t8Qu”

Steve_at_Reddit

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)

Your comment, "Any attempt to try to take some of it is theft", is irrelevant to the concept of NYKNYB.

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.

#1 Fuck Coinbase and their insane fees! #2 make a Robinhood account and trade for FREE #3 Self Custody is KEY! - Purchase your own cold storage device ( I use Ledger but there may be better options available). #4 after purchasing your crypto on Robinhood, make sure to transfer them off RH (RobinHood) and onto your cold storage wallet. Now enjoy your investments safely without any fees!

lol. Key phrase here “it’s noted that affected wallets had previously exported their private keys…”. DO NOT GIVE ANYONE YOUR FUCKING PRIVATE KEY! Also, don’t store them on any electronic media.

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.

INAL and this is not legal advice. You prove it by saying you did NOT create a trading API key. NO MORE OF THIS "I don't believe I did" BULLSHIT. You either commit to the statement or accept the money is long gone. The 90 expiration date is amazing for you. If it's the case, but that's the back to your statement that you DID NOT CREATE A TRADING API KEY. You either know or you don't. I suggest you get to know real quick. Nobody gives a shit about what you believe or feel accept you. Tough love rant over. You got this OP! get secure in your words of choice.

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.

Spare-Character2262

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.

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.)

>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.

enormouskrakenballs

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.

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.
