Do NOT get into pumps and dumps. They are bad and damaging not only to idiots like me, but to the community in general. They are not OK, please do not support them.

Here’s a fun comment you posted a year ago, please tell me the Trump admin hasn’t done the exact same damn thing, but I know you will do as much mental gymnastics as you need to make yourself feel better, that’s how I know you’re in a cult… ”That was a hallmark of the entire last administration. Downplay the entire failing economy. There is no inflation, if there is it's transitory, OK there's inflation but here's why that's a good thing. Pump the job numbers only to revise them down later. Then they change how troublesome signals are defined. Then on the way out the door, slaughter 120million chickens and blame the next guy when there's no eggs.”
It's not just a single book but that's OK, mate. For centuries, the vast majority of astronomers and philosophers followed Ptolemaic geocentrism as the only correct model. They were thought this like the professionals you're talking about. But again, mate. Keep saving in dollar, support the stealing from everyone. I honestly couldn't care less.
OK… I’m dreaming. That’s all you have to say? Everything I said above is correct. Put it in ChatGPT and ask if I’m right or wrong. Because if I’m right… I don’t think I’m dreaming. If I’m wrong… Tell me what I said that was incorrect. If not… Maybe you don’t enter the conversation.
>Complete garbage Agreed: the petro-dollar is complete garbage: the primary reason we continue to destroy the environment using flatulent internal combustion engines. Strangely, however, BTC maxies think consuming equally huge amounts of energy is OK, cuz its (somewhat) green \[note the solar panels and wind turbines powering them zappy minin' machines\]. Here is a clue: bitcoin miners consuming that much electricity are taking from the total pool of energy which is largely supplied by fossil fuels. So, as green as they may think they are, they are still massively contributing to both the inevitable energy crisis and the destruction of the environment. One also needs to wonder how much evidence supports the claim that those millions of USDT were in the possession of the Iranians. And, furthermore, what gives any government the right to freeze another sovereignty's assets? If my wife breaks up with me, is she then entitled to freeze my bank account?
If you do not understand why people buy datco's just say so. You really just seem somewhat ignorant of the potential upside for the shareholders in the long term. I really do not think anyone who bought strategy (for the best example) when they announced their first bitcoin purchase feel sad about buying "stockcoins." Quite the opposite I am sure. 'Not your keys not your coins." OK I am going to buy my own bitcoin when I sell my shares for a premium well beyond the the % increase in the underlying asset so what are you complaining about here? People want to make more money so they can buy more bitcoin. or its easier and has more tax benefits to hold it in a specific account if you still want bitcoin exposure in a certain tax free account. And for them to hold an amplified datco for the increase in sats/share over time. There is many reasons people will buy metaplanet its upcoming preferred stock and bitcoin itself. Get educated instead of shitposting maybe.
I mean, 50% S&P500 and 50% BTC is kind of crazy...having a bit of btc for some exposure it's OK, but having hslf5of your investments in btc.. Yikes.
With one million bitcoins left to mine, the rate of purchases from Strategy, the rising BTC price averages overtime, and the continuously shrinking supply on exchanges , I think we’ll be OK.
For a nerdminer, everything other than zero hashes is OK. It will almost certainly NOT find you a block. These are novelty items for the technologically interested.
This is an extremely difficult question to answer at this point in the market. Most alts are at ATLs, whilst ETH and BTC are getting a pump. I think the main question you need to ask yourself is one thing: Would I be OK - not happy, obviously, but OK, if everything you listed above went to zero? It also depends on how much money you have in these coins - if it's your life savings that's one thing, if it's a small fraction of your portfolio that's another. What we don't realise as noobs when we get into these alts is that many will die and never recover. We hold them expecting most of them to retrace to previous ATHs, at least, without understanding that many never will. If we enter a new bull market, some will get a pump, a few will get a big pump, less still will find ATHs again, and many, many, wil just die, forever. Only you can answer the question of whether you should sell OP. If it was me, which it's not, assuming I didn't have massive amounts of money in them, I'd be holding at this point. We can go lower for sure, but we've gone so low at this point the bottom may conceivably be in.
It seems so easy to just send from CDC. Now that I found the area to do it. But I am NOT resetting the 2fa. I heard some nightmares stories about accounts on lock. and CS being very slow to help. Right now my CDC is fine. I can transfer funds in and out. use my Card. buy and sell crypto. I will be OK. nt sending crypto to another wallet. But hopefully after OKX exchange cleats my $120 BTC purchase. I can send to the renewal address and it will work........I hope
It won't be insecure for those who are informed since they can move their coins to protected addresses. Those who leave coins on old addresses risk quantum security compromise. However, you're OK with simply destroying the old addresses and the value held within? Which is worse? The second one for sure.
OK. We are back. What are the top 5 alts?
It seems obvious to me no one has access to those Bitcoin. Who sits on Billions and does nothing with it? But yes the someone is going "kidnap and torture" for your Bitcoin is ridiculous. The best is when one says not to say you have Bitcoin on Reddit. No one is going to dox you to figure out you are and where live then fly half way across the world to "kidnap and torture" you hoping you really have that 0.4 Bitcoin you said you had. I get one could be targeted and scammed online but that is not a concern for me so it's OK. I only have about 0.1 Bitcoin.
This has been a thing for many years now. This is really the first you heard of it? Someone giving away some Bitcoin for a promotion OK but the sending of YOUR Bitcoin wasn't a red flag at all? LOL Just in case... Microsoft (no one actually) doesn't accept gift cards for payment.
OK? Bitcoin gets mentioned all time on TV shows and has been for years. It's been the main plot of numerous criminal/law enforcement shows. It's not even new to Marvel as Deadpool has mentioned Bitcoin more than once.
Pretty simple. If those tokens are not secured, someone will claim them. I'm OK with that, because it fulfils Bitcoin's original game plan. There is no need to fix this problem. Just move everything to a quantum-proof ledger, and keep the old coins that have not moved; leave them as is. If by chance someone claims them, good for them. QC machines are incredibly expensive, so only the super-rich will have access to them. And here's the thing: if you're worried about some Povvo getting super rich from a QC-broken BTC key, then you're worried about nothing.
OK, I said it was Dave Kleiman and the post was removed. What for?
OK so we are in agreement. Clown is worse than no leadership at all. That being said Biden or really anybody else would beat the ever loving shit out of Trump
1.Coldwallet? For a beginner who doesn't know how to handle keys, Tangem is the easiest to set up, use and keep safe. There are other good options... But they tend to be technical and will require time investment. 2.Best crypto if you don't want it to go up and down regularly? Stablecoins are you only real option. 3.Best crypto if you want something solid that isn't being manipulated by venture capital, while being OK with short term volatility for long term profitability? I have 3 good contenders... Bitcoin, Monero, Kaspa.
New account, 200k karma. Yeah, def not a bot. OK, sure.
So like Hunter biden had some sort of quid pro quo with Ukraine energy company for $1m a year. That is bullshit and most republicans could point it out. Jared Kushner takes $2b "investment" from saudi Arabia. WLFI (trump crypto scam) takes $2b "investment" from UAE. To get a pardon takes about $1m donation and there are quite a few examples. Nobody with eyes and ears would say the past presidents have been altruistic. They have all been different shades of scumbag. But this is trump's wheelhouse. The amounts are larger. It's as blatant as anything. They dont even care. I think of that tom Homan guy who was caught literally taking $50k cash in a paper bag explicitly as a bribe for contracts and this administration dismisses it and puts him in their cabinet. Like OK if you enjoy trump whatever you do you but there no question this is as bad as it has ever been as far as corruption.
lol OK TerraLuna bagholder 🤣 thanks for your salty tears 🤣
OK but that just sounds like shorting, borrow a shitcoin, sell it, and then buy it back after it dumps 10x, repay loan, profit. Which is eaving the shitcoin lender and hodlers bankrupt pretty quickly.
Omg. OK, you're right, it's a ponzi scheme. Moron.
OK so you don't understand that governments maintain a monopoly on violence. That doesn't entitle you to a spine🤣. "Pay us or we blow up your ship", sounds a lot like, "give us your oil or we'll kill everyone in your government plus thousands of civilians". But I guess you're too regarded to catch the reference.
I'm his son. I'll be OK..... Won't I?
OK, well, give me a truly useful use case that has an advantage over another asset. As for the other projects I mentioned to you, there really is a clear advantage over other methods or assets.
Yeah, that's good to know! The thing in this case, specifically, is I always double triple check stuff and **something** changed with that trade on March 28th. It had never happened before that the price from photo 1 to photo 2 was that drastically different up until then. That's how I double checked every time, like yes this is the price right now OK, and this was the price I bought for, so if I sold now the profit would be this... click through the preview in regular Coinbase and yes everything makes sense. Then that time NOPE. Ginormous change.
OK, let's touch base in 5 years and we can talk about what your money would have done if you just DCAd it instead !remindme 5 years
Your comment is not about the topic here: linking Bitcoin to carnism/carnivore diet. It's about the actual topic of the food, therefore I'll reply to that. *Something like history has shown that eating meat is the most efficient and healthiest way to survive and get energy, everything else is worse for you.* OK, I agree that meat has helped humans throughout history, but that is not the case anymore. The overwhelming contemporary scientific evidence points toward a whole food plant based diet as the best food for humans. Meat, on the other side, is linked to most of the diseases that are killing us (like atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, cancer, obesity, etc). The claim *"Processed food bad, steak is good."* is also wrong, it is not that simple. This is the RFKJ Jr agenda, but again, all the scientific evidence doesn't agree. To be more clear: most processed food is bad, I agree. But not all processed food is bad. And meat is definitely not "completely good". Of course meat has some benefits, but there are other healthier foods than meat. This topic is expanded in a whole chapter in The Fiat Standard, which is what I'm saying is wrong and shouldn't continue.
OK got it, but you are wrong...unfortunately. I wish this wasn't a thing! But there are books about Bitcoin and meat consumption that are completely biased and misleading people. As I've already stated, this highly influential people ARE ACTIVELY linking carnism and the carnivore diet to Bitcoin...which I think is wrong.
I’m actually very OK with idiots losing their money.
I found the UI to be really clear. As someone else said, it is disabled by default. While I was setting a passphrase, I recall saying, OK dude chill I understand that I am using a passphrase.
Keep trip savings separate and in dollars or Euros. Based on past cycles, bitcoin might fall more before the end of the year. It should start growing in winter (if the pattern holds); if you believe that, it is OK to buy it for longer term.
OK you do probably need to simplify your portfolio but selling/swapping some things now while they’re in the red may not be the best idea. From that list the only one I’ve ever researched and held for some time is APT so I’m not qualified to give advice other than to say when/if altseason begins I’d hang on only to the ones that are early to show some signs of price recovery. You can see what I’ve got in my portfolio right now here: [portfolio](https://share.google/lLrguKKQpAa46PBgl)
Yezzir I started wit the good ol btc thru cashapp, since they jus made it so ez lol. N then from there I jus watched n read loads on the scene as a whole, trying my best to get a grasp of it all. Lol I still consider myself quite the novice n have much to learn n am always open to the education of others that've been thru multi seasons. (Jus b careful b/c obv there's a barrage of bad actors within that will take advantage of ur ignorance to exploit ya. Learned that the hard way... but less learned. Trust no one, learn the history n data n how to read charts n the patterns of the market.) Its far from ez lol but imo it rly is the logical nxt evolution of finance (Basically wut the internet was imo) So while the majority of the masses stick their heads n the sand cuz humans hate change, u r alrdy leaps n bounds ahead of em jus by educating urself n slowing dca'n (daily cost averaging) wutever additional liquidity ur willing to lose if the worst case happens. (Always prepare for the worst, but hope n strive for the best outcome) Jus dyor, it rly is key. Yes it's time consuming n u may not fully understand it all at that moment, but it's OK. Cuz its a marathon not a sprint. From there ull gain more confidence n understanding the basics n work up from there. Cuz it can b overwhelming if u jus dive n head first. Ur playing the long game. Mayb later down the line u can try one of the multitude of angles n plays which to initiate into ur portfolio, but the fundamentals n basics r ur pillars. Also if u can find a like frfr discord grp (they r out there jus takes lots of effort) cuz there rly is awesome humans out there, that enjoy sharing their knowledge to help new comers navigate the turbulent early waves. N having ppl like such can rly amplify ur journey on all lvls. I wish u the best of luck n jus remember nvr put n more than ur willing to lose n practice/develop positive habits early on. N nvr take anything at face value, dig dig dig! U got this holmes! 👍 👊
OK, sounds great. If this is true, as you say, can you sell me some bitcoin for $45k? Please?
It's OK to say that *you* don't personally find value in it. It's delusional to say it's worthless, given that I could sell one for $68k right now.
that would be delusional. Anarchists exist, but they are tiny minority, and even they are now OK with townhall-meetings style of government.
OK, I did some more investigation. It appears there are two primary considerations: Solvency risk and liquidity risk. Solvency risk is the capital ratio, a definition of capital vs risk weighted assets (i.e. loans). And in this, it is true that a customer's deposit does not increase/decrease the ability to issue loans. But a deposit does help on liquidity risk---matching terms of high quality liquid assets to meet withdrawal demands, where interbank wholesale funding can dry up in a split second. So boring consumer deposits are valuable for this stability. And they can take those deposits and park them at Fed and earn IORB literally risk free, and pay the customer less. It's free money for doing nothing other than being a bank.
OK, true I think in the modern world their ability to lend money is based on some measurement of assumed risk vs capital/reserves? Is that what you're getting at?
If the whitehouse oompahlumpa fat fuck can just say OK we've done enough, troops back home, call it a day. The world don't need this shit. 
OK. You said "**Now** that I understand everything else" Perhaps you meant "**Not** that I understand everything else"?
You do realize that the previous administration was complicit in sending armaments to a nation that was committing a genocide in the Gaza strip that included the killing of children (likely some infants), right? Clearly they were OK with babies being killed. Maybe go look up Madeleine Albright (a democrat politician) and Iraq sanctions in the 1990s. I'm politically agnostic because compartmentalizing opinions based upon a political party's platform is dumb. I'd be happy if the Epstein class were revealed and I'm also for bodily autonomy. My original post was you to rebuke you for shitting on someone's intelligence and morality **in perpetuity** (your words) for admitting that they were duped by a demagogue and feeling bad about their decision ironically proving that you're actually everything you've accused them of being. Congrats!
Selllllllllll quick…..IT’S OVER! 4 year cycles still apply and that was a sweet bullrun (sarcasm). Geo politics can’t be controlled and everybody’s favorite dirty diapered blabbering grandpa doesn’t want you to see him dipping his little cheeto where it doesn’t belong so expect a lot more…… distraction, economic impact, and geo political issues that weren’t here yesterday but because it got too quiet and somebody said something about some files sooo, “we went and renounced Hawaii and blew it up because, well, because we’re kinda already enemies with everyone else”….”ooops all markets are down 40%, sorrry guys…. Imma go hide now”- sincerely your fearless bunker bitch grand pappy. Bruh it’s all gonna be OK you don’t need to get on Reddit and complain. It won’t change anything. I’m ready for whatever comes after this… go ahead let it rip on how you’re mad at me that you’re not rich yet. I’ll be your punching bag baby 😘you know there’s more ways to make money than spot trading right?
It's a pile of cr@p, so OK 👍
BTC has reached more than $1T MC in less than 20 years but it's not monetary tech. OK bro
\- Criticizes Boyle for referencing minor exchanges. \- Quotes Bolivia as evidence crypto is doing well. OK.
They didn't "lose" $2bn . They bribed him with $2bn . Any amount is OK as long as it's not taxes is their motto.
OK??? That is still a small minority of the community. Most people here would not recommend to go all in on Bitcoin.
They are OK for the 25th word, as long as the seeds are kept offline. It's harder to steal them, as the thief will have to get 2 parts from both online and offline.
OK, I googled and according to the coinbase conversion tool, currently 1USD is equivalent to 2.030879653095028 Satoshi's. Seems like it is floating as BTC itself is very floati (Has very high volatility).
Trezor is OK, opt for the Safe7 for most protection if you want to stick to Trezor. [Trezor](https://trezor.io/) \- Easy to use, no matter how new in Bitcoin you're. Use the Bitcoin only firmware as it's safer than a multi coin software. [ColdCard](https://coldcardwallet.com/) - air gapped, Bitcoin only, has advanced features but a new user will do fine with one of the great tutorials available. [BitBox02](https://bitbox.swiss/bitbox02/bitcoin-only/) - another great little device, opt for the more secure Bitcoin ONLY version (less coins = less code = less chance for a hidden bug or a backdoor) [Jade](https://blockstream.com/jade) - air gapped, fully open source, Bitcoin only, great features. There's a newer version called Jade Plus, it has much better camera and overall is a better, although a bit more expensive, option. You can even [build it on your own](https://github.com/Blockstream/jade/), if you feel adventurous. [Seedsigner](https://github.com/SeedSigner/seedsigner) - another DIY, fully open source, air gapped, Bitcoin only hardware wallet, not for you if you're just starting up but something to consider later. [Krux wallet](https://selfcustody.github.io/krux/) - one more DIY hardware device, I love this one for many reasons. Similar to Seedsigner, it's fully open source, air gapped, Bitcoin only hardware wallet, that is not for you right now if you're just starting up, but something to consider at a later stage and/or to up the security of your bitcoin. There's also Ledger, but I wouldn't recommend it as it's not fully open source, keep and already leaked customers' details, recently said they're capable of sending customers' keys out just with a firmware update, etc. **Stay away**, save yourself a headache in the future. Whatever wallet you'll decide to buy, purchase DIRECTLY from the manufacturer, no eBay, no Amazon. Make sure the device is NOT preset, and you will generate your own seed words. Write them down on any piece of paper as well as the receiving address. Now wipe the wallet and generate a new wallet. If the seed words are different from the first set, you're safe to use it. Find an option to set a passphrase and use it. This will boost the security to another level. Never store the seed words and passphrase together. Use a different medium if possible. If somebody finds both, they'll be able to steal your coin. This little device will hold the keys to your money, that's the reason why you have to be a bit more careful. Also, no worries, if it breaks, you can replace it - as long as you keep your seed words and passphrase(s) safe. Welcome to the rabbit hole and don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions anytime during your Bitcoin journey. Also, [check the sidebar](https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/about) that's filled with lots of great info and if you have any questions, visit r/BitcoinBeginners or r/Bitcoin and look for the answers.
OK thanks. Interesting argument. So you think that BTC just could not be used as functional payment because there will be network overload? But if it's real cause then what final purpose should BTC have? To replace gold as an asset? Because if fiats will lose their purchase power then there must something to become that replaces fiat. Like in medieval era there were minted gold and silver coins as main payment instrument which later was replaced by paper printed banknotes.
Absolutely. The more I’ve learned about bitcoin and the stronger my belief in it, the higher my allocation has grown. Without studying it, it’s really about what you’re OK losing by basing your conviction on others’ belief. 1% seems fine. This is also the weakest because if you lose half of your paper value you will likely sell. By studying it, you’re betting on yourself and your research, intuition, etc. It makes you more resilient during inevitable 50%+ selloffs, acquiring more at lows, etc. This is when even if you’re at like 10% exposure, to you it’s not what you’re OK losing because you don’t expect to lose it. Personally I’d lean into reading the white paper, studying historical resilience, following big money, and you’ll start to realize this is a pretty impressive mathematical breakthrough that you can accelerate future gains in your portfolio with. You’ll start to hope the price stays low so you can accumulate more.
OK, fair, but I think the reporter was probably trying to explain the difference between hot and cold wallets and got a little tripped up?
OK, but SOMETIMES it turns out those parents were trying to kill their kids and used the "autopilot" thing an as excuse...
Late to the party is OK, party isn't over. Don't try and be cool about it.
What liquidity are you talking about at 47k? Huge bitcoin guy with 0 bitcoin OK
OK, OP if you are super paranoid about the free BTC you've received then you can do two things. 1) Send it back. :( 2) Just leave it sit there. :) Make a new wallet for "your" BTC and move it there. In a few years if/when nothing comes of this and the paranoia is gone then decide what you want to do with it. I'd be a #2 guy in your situation. Lol
Beatles are OK. It's the Black Sabbath that gets you!
I don't think you need a credit/debit card to sell the cards. A bank account should be OK.
If you’re saying it’s OK if you also have a metal copy safely stored away, you memorizing it isn’t the safety net. The hard copy is.
Something big? Yes, certainly, like fire, the printing press, or the Internet. Crypto is mostly noise. But, as the meme goes, 'Bitcoin isn't crypto.' OK, so what convinced me? It was a bit understanding, and a bit specific moment. In my case, the specific moment came first as I was learning the fundamentals. It was the Freedom Convoy in Canada during Covid. I knew people who had their assets frozen. That was the shock that me recognize how powerful Bitcoin is, no matter the dollar amount exchange rate. Then I started filling in the fundamentals, which the book, "The Bitcoin Standard" got me started. Austrian economics.... economics finally made sense! Once you see how the fiat game is being played, you tend towards the, 'laser eyes till fiat dies' position, and understand how Bitcoin fits. Of course, once you understand the fundamentals, it becomes clear that Bitcoin forever goes up in fiat terms (so long as it doesn't die). That is a nice bonus. Though will it matter if Bitcoin is $1M USD, if a loaf of bread is $1000 USD? So, primarily the value becomes more oriented around the freedom-tech, and knowing owning part of a fixed asset means holding buying power against inflating currencies. The number becomes less relevant. Hope that helps... happy to answer questions, but it takes some time to wrap one's mind around some of it. (And I have a long way to go!)
OK. So ... why? Are you looking for gains, with plans to sell eventually? You mention "to the MOON"; when would you "bail out"? Do you believe philosophically with BTC and its proponents? Is this about establishing a new currency for the people, against the financial system, concern about the government? Who is the "We" you reference: anyone holding BTC, pure investors, philosophical backers? Are you ready to "be your own banker", manage wallets and keys and seeds?
Personally I'd stick to the trusted, reputable exchanges listed in the [sidebar](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Help:FAQ#How_can_I_get_bitcoins?) here or the [FAQ](https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinBeginners/comments/g42ijd/faq_for_beginners/) over in /r/BitcoinBeginners but as long as you withdraw to your own wallet you should be OK. If you leave the funds on an exchange then you don't actually own bitcoin, you just have access to a website which shows you numbers on a screen, and that access can be withdrawn for any number of reasons. NYKNYC.
OK but don't come here whinging when it goes down to 45k, which is a possibility. I dont have a crystal ball but if the 'cycle's still in tact its going to be shitty for the rest of the year and likely have another step down before it goes up again. Also, I have no fucking idea what it'll do but I do think in 4 years or so it could be above 200k
Can I get a withdrawal of one fifth of my account holdings please. No. ... ... Oh...um...OK Have a good day! Being nice won't get you shit either brah.
OK we'll let you; just this once, for the sake of peace
OK man I'm not your parents, you can believe what you want to, no skin off my back. But I have a masters degree from Harvard Business school, am undergraduate degree in engineering, years of experience in corporate financial strategy (both at a top tier management consulting firm and at a startup), a plethora of friends and former classmates currently working at private equity firms & hedge funds, and I currently have (and am actively using) the ability to travel the world working for myself because I've build multiple market analysis and strategic insight tools - specifically designed to give me an institutional view of the markets. You do you, we'll just agree to disagree here 🤷♂️. Hope your trading goes well.
Danielle Lukins on cryptoCrush is absolute trash and unethical. She’s parading like she predicted the Bitcoin, but last year she was posting videos saying the super bull run starts January 2026. Pretty much what she was saying all 2025. Guess what? It never happened. She now acts like she predicted the crash which is so disingenuous. I looked deeper into her and she sells a $10,000 crypto course on how to buy sell and store crypto. She lures in idiots and old people. Coin Bureau - OK at best. Be weary they do a lot of advertising for coins masked as news.
OK Fed, let me tell you which non KYC exchange I've been using for literal years now. (Just wanted to trade low-cap coins early after launch, never paid for any goods or services in crypto myself, but I'm just saying... you have to be pretty dumb not to find popular non-KYC exchanges, of which there are multiple in operation today and quite well known without needing to go to the 'dark web' or anything like that.)
You don't have to keep denying you were wrong, it's OK that you were wrong, I've just come to remind you
OK, sorry to doubt you but 1) The price on July 31 was not 68k 2) July 31st was not a Monday and hasn't been a Monday in years. Which leads me to conclude this is some AI generated image?
Because there hasn’t been enough to show a chart since the reversal on a 6 month graph…. But OK. Someone’s mad that they potentially missed the bottom.
No it's OK I was a dick. I apologize.
On youtube there are plenty of video tutorials how to start and what is worth of paying attention. If I started then my first step was to choose self custody (Hardware wallet). Then sure what to buy. It was obviously clear that BTC is worth of it. Even if there are BTC-only hardware wallets available, I still chosen an universal version just in case if I want to buy something else too. THen I oredered from Trezor their most affordable HW wallet that supports BTC and many others (Safe3). I had to wait approximately 16 days until my order was delivered. Then the last step was to choose exchange where to buy BTC and I went ahead with Kraken. Meanwhile I was waiting my order to be fulfilled I was browsing on reddit, YT, internet to make my own research about self custody security nuances and also how to avoid to be scamming victim (lose my funds). There are some simply rules: Less people know your exact portfolio value, the better is. Never share or store your seed phrase backup in digital form. Never leave your crypto on online exchanges or hot wallet platform for extended periods. And last never share your seed phrase with anyone. Keep your funds and beore moving large amounts make tests with smaller amounts to see if transactions are functional and your crypto funds are really sent to your own wallet (cold aka HW wallet is recommended). Bear in mind that if you have to write down your seed phrase then make sure you write them down in correct way and in the same order as the seed words are generated. If you write them wrong and you do not verify seed backup then later will not be able to restore access to your crypto because these seed phrases are the most important: private keys are generated based by seed phrases and they are in encrypted format. Each private key is associated with the wallet and is linked to the BTC network blockchain where your crypto is stored as a small part of digital data in binary form ('0' and '1's). Transactions are signed with this private key. If you lose your private keys aka seed phrase then you can't to access to your crypto stored on blockchain because creating another wallet and using different seed phrases generates absolutely different and empty wallet. That's why hardware wallet vendors are using seed phrase backup. For short term it is OK to store Seed phrases on paper, but for long term it is advised to use more durable solutions like metal plates and words stamped on them because paper seed phrases can be easily destroyed by fire, floods or ever being physically unreadable. Store them somewhere only you know. Backup will play most important role if you lose your wallet or have doubts if it has been compromised. Then you can buy the new hardware wallet or restore your wallet temporarily on online hot wallet using these seed phrase words. You must to enter them in the exact order as the words were generated in the list. Then the new private key will be created that will be the exact copy of the lost one. And for last: Always double check your BTC Receive address if you intend to transfer them into your wallet account or recipient address when you want to sell/transfer out. Because one single mistyping error means that your funds are sent to another BTC address (another wallet) and this is irreversible- your funds are lost and will appear on balance of someone else in the world who possesses that wallet. You can't to call back that transaction if it has already sent (the moment you hit Send button the crypto transaction process has been initiated and it is not possible to cancel it). if you go for online wallet then do some research how to protect your funds, but as hot wallets are exposed online and can be easily compromised then there is a higher risk to lose your crypto thanks to data phishing attacks, malicious software, keyloggers and so on.
I think you misunderstand the point of prediction markets. It's about bringing information to light. That is there purpose. Who says the people putting down money have no knowledge? Yes there will be some people who are literally gambling, but they aren't the focus. You can make them your focus if you want to ignore the point. Sure they could lose access to up to date information via an internet blackout, but I don't think that is a solid reason not to have the markets. You really think people on the ground, just normal people were aware of when they were going to get bombed? OK.... I think you are deciding to be shocked and ignoring evidence. You can call ignoring reality "morals" all you want. I think it is morally wrong not to participate if you have information about when it will take place. Or do you think the public should just be kept in the dark?
I'm not saying it's not bad, I'm saying that the premise of taking an issue with it now is a bit silly. If you think it's morally wrong to bet on war, then it's at least equally morally wrong to support global systems of exploitation. To the point about McDonald's, industrial farming is causing climate change, which is displacing and killing magnitudes more people than bombs. https://www.weforum.org/press/2024/01/wef24-climate-crisis-health/ So do you care more about the optics of dropping a bomb or more about the people killed by climate change? Morally, I understand our culture is disgusted by overt violence, but systemic violence is a-OK. That because morality is not objective. It's based on how you feel about bombs.
If bearish stock views come true, people will rotate into an asset that has become correlated with stocks... OK then.
You're better off using the Bybit card. You can place your idle funds meant for the card in Earn and enjoy some yields without paying any annual fees for the physical card. Free Netflix/Spotify/etc as well. Metamask Metal looked OK until Ithe $199/year fee lol
OK! That sounds like a great idea!
OK, this makes a lot more sense now. If your goal is that long and is intended to benefit your children, then I would suggest you look into self custody so you can get some "wiggle room" with the taxes (or restrictions in movement/liquidity if not sold, I'm not 100% sure on US tax law when it comes to the inheritance of a 401k by adult children instead of a spouse). I would still suggest you DCA into bitcoin securely (self custody, cold storage) and leave the tried and tested to continue growth. Separate the risks and ensure they will get something. $800k in safer, diversified funds over their lifetime will yield insane results without the need for such risk. The difference between guaranteed millions and a few million more isn't worth risking a potential outcome of (next to) nothing. Also the past performance of BTC might be skewing your perception of the potential reward here.
