Investing is a way to set aside money while you are busy with life and have that money work for you so that you can fully reap the rewards of your labor in the future. Invest wisely.
For storage of large amounts you should make an offline paper wallet (cold storage) which can only accept incoming payments until you connect it to the internet. That's the ultimate based method 👍
@@franciskafieh I'll admit I haven't tried any commercial hardware wallet but making a paper wallet isn't difficult at all. There are webpages you can download and run offline that print the wallet for you. The difficult part is storing it securely but a bank safe is a good option for that, like it would be for gold etc.
@@JamesWilson01 You're right, it's easy to make. Just talking about ease of transferring to sell, make payments, etc. Paper wallet is completely fine if your house doesn't flood and you're going to HODL. But honestly, crypto wallets are pretty cheap. If you're holding millions, you might as well pay a hundred bucks
@@franciskafieh They both have they're ups and downs. Once you take a paper wallet online to spend something it's now a hot wallet so you have to make a new paper one for cold storage.

I don't know any real details of hardware wallets other than they're not free and you have to trust them but lots of people say lots of good things about them so there must be advantages there too!
I feel you but paper is weak af. Brain is great but has similar issues. The fireproof/waterproof slabs with the tiles, are fully worth it if you have any real amount.
Custodial wallets are a ripoff. Most of them have such a high "minimum withdrawable amount" that even if you make some profit by trading you still can't withdraw it. Granted not all wallets do that stuff and you have to pay gas fees but the wallets that have this arbitrary restriction don't state that before you deposit your funds
@my real name i checked if i can cashout in my country on their site before using their app and it said i can. Now my account is mysteriously restricted after i dumped money on it and i cant sell. Avoid yourself the headache
If you don't own the keys, you don't own the crypto. I hate that custodial wallets even exist. It's like having an encryption company keeping all your PGP keys for you
Friendly reminder that there are people out there who hold their crypto on exchanges long term some even with a goal of holding for 5+ years so imagine a guy who had like 10 bitcoins that he purchased many years ago for reasonably cheap and he kept those coins on an exchange that went bankrupt without him even realizing as he's one of those who "buy and forget" peopel and one day when he decides to finally after many years check his account only to find out that it doesn't even exist anymore and his bitcoins are now gone.
It's been nothing but exploits, outages, scams and massive crashes in the crypto market this year. Trust is hard to get and easy to lose. Combine that with actual global recession looming and I doubt this is even close to the bottom. I'm personally not going to hold anything through this, just going to keep some stables in exchanges to try some shorts (I don't recommend doing this)
This year? Have you never looked into the past, I mean Mt. Gox is the first place my mind goes when it comes to trusting an exchange. (I’m highly critical of exchanges especially since they centralize a decentralized currency.)
I was in Voyager early on. I ended up dipping out after they never allowed me to transfer VeChain to my actual wallet even after multiple support tickets submitted. I left and keep everything on my actual wallet now. Glad I did.

Anyone have any thoughts on which way Monero is going to go? Positive: There's a network upgrade in August with more privacy features and probably multisig transactions which are much more secure against theft. Also it's got the first mover advantage as a privacy coin. Negative: Bitcoin is introducing privacy features such as Lightning which in the worst case scenario could make Monero irrelevant. I'm still investing in Monero for now while it's cheap but have to admit to being a little worried because most people haven't even heard of Monero (yet!)
@@Rakkoonn Yes, that's a good point. It means people actually buy and sell stuff with it so it will retain value while that continues. But what if bitcoin becomes just as private? Either it won't be trusted by the criminals and rejected as being backdoored by the glowies or it could have some great new feature and be completely open source in which case they gradually abandon monero. Oh well, I was a bitcoin early adopter who would be a multimillionaire now if I hadn't got excited by the unexpected high prices and sold far too soon. Won't make the same mistake again! 😉

Fyi regarding stocks. If YOU own a substantial amount of share in company XYZ - request that you get the actual certificate of ownership from the broker. Yes there are many consumer insurance safety mechanisms in place - but you owning the paper stock certificate that grants you rights of the underlying asset is the EXACT SAME as you holding the private keys to a non custodial crypto wallet. Contact your broker. Brokers are different.

The main difference between investing in crypto and gambling is that with gambling, the odds are at least somewhat close to 50%. As for hardware wallets, I wouldn't store millions on them, because you can't copy the secret to another device off-site. I'd much rather generate a seed on a permanently offline machine, encrypt it, write it to various media (paper, USB, optical, whatever) and store one at home, one in a deposit box and one somewhere safe with a close relative. You need spare keys...
The thing is that 90% of people I’ve talk to about crypto is that they look at crypto like as an investment. When it’s just currency. Even the CEO of Exodus wallet made this quite clear that Exodus stock is a real asset. Crypto is a currency for just buying things.
makes sense. but trading on forex is just as sketchy. lots of platforms dont allow US traders. and banks just dont like you doing it directly, even though it's perfectly legal
And if you buy hardware wallet, you gotta be 100% sure it was not tampered with before you got it. It gotta have all the manufacturer's seals intact. There have been some incidents, where people got millions stolen off their supposedly secure wallet.
Hardware wallets only store the keys not the actual assets. The asset remains on the blockchain and subject to market fluctuations. It is not the same as dollar bills in your traditional wallet. If you entrust your keys (private) to a third party, the third party controls access to your assets. As long as people understand reality they can make their own decisions.
Just moved all my ether and bitcoin to my own wallet a few weeks ago after a few of those custodial companies died and it made me see the writing on the wall. I used coin base, but I don't know how much longer they will last at the current rate. I think it will be in the dumper for the next 5 years while people lose interest in scams, regulatory frameworks are built, and shit coins die out. In the interim I will let my meger coins sit in my private wallet.
I know it's the wrong thread, but it's the right forum as far as I'm concerned: Anybody else having issues on Nord connecting to Iceland? Before you say it, I'm in the last two months of a three year subscription and going to Mullvad.
At the start of the downturn I bought a Trezor and pulled my ETH and BTC off Coinbase. I still have some shit coins on there, like BAT and stuff, but that is funny money and I am not worried about losing 50 USD of shit coins.
I have a few hundred bucks worth of ETH in a custodial wallet from mining. Buying a hard wallet would cost too much in comparison. I don't plan on getting enough crypto to warrant a hard wallet.
I have been considering using a password manager (I don't really have any crypto, but for regular stuff). But I have not prioritized rabbit holin how they work. I guess you wouldn't want a cloud password manager, but a local one. But then you need a password to protect your passwords but I guess the one hard to remember password is better than a whole bunch of them. I am sort of waiting for the day some popular cloud password manager will have a breach and cause a big stir. Would love a video about password managers, maybe you have already made one and I should go find it. Keep up the good content!
Cryptocurrency exchanges are a centralizing force to a decentralized currency, they are an unnecessary evil that people must open up their eyes to. An exchange is never going to operate for the benefit of the consumer: either they will go to big to fail or nickel and dime you for your transactions. **An exchange is always looking out for its own self interests.** Honestly this is something I would like to see fixed, I would love to take a shot at it but I don’t have the funding or the expertise to program up a simple exchange right now.
ima have it a guess that people don't realise that they are using a custodial wallet nor do they understand the dangers of it. they just think company X has got my back they will keep all my money safe
I use pen and paper for passwords until I find something FOSS to manage it natively on my system. I am sure that I can burn all of that paper once I find something FOSS that is hard to compromise or impersonate me. Something that handles credentials in a smarter way to access the passwords.

Bitcoin only. Keep it off an exchange. Own your keys.
Even the original bitcoin wallet on your Windows PC is safer than custodian wallets xd I actually just got myself a ledger nano s and so far im pretty happy
I`ll watch it later, but my like is already yours! Keep on!
I've been saying this for years. I keep all mine on the ledger. Big 🧠
backup important stuff to dvd. wont f up. like ever. not affected by magnets. doesn’t one day randomly f up and lose data
CDs/DVDs may rot after few years, depending on quality. Be sure to "refresh" your backups regularly.
Possession is 9/10ths of the law as they say.
I like how certain platforms advertise defi on centralized exchanges
Damn your impression with the doggie doos had me rolling

If you’re not skeptical, you will be by the time crypto is done with you.
U dont know anything. Go flip some burgers
@@Lobonova lol you read that totally wrong. Crypto was made by libertarians, for libertarians. Libertarians are skeptical by nature. I know you’ve got a smooth brain, but if you think about it really hard, what I’m saying will make sense. Just so you don’t hurt yourself, here’s a little help: skeptical people don’t use custodial wallets.

Anyone have any thoughts on which way Monero is going to go? Positive: There's a network upgrade in August with more privacy features and probably multisig transactions which are much more secure against theft. Also it's got the first mover advantage as a privacy coin. Negative: Bitcoin is introducing privacy features such as Lightning which in the worst case scenario could make Monero irrelevant. I'm still investing in Monero for now while it's cheap but have to admit to being a little worried because most people haven't even heard of Monero (yet!)
Monero is used on the darkweb. It's one of the few cryptos that is actually used as a currency, so it is one of the few that seems to be safe.
Lightning has nothing to do with privacy. DYOR ✌️
@@Rakkoonn Yes, that's a good point. It means people actually buy and sell stuff with it so it will retain value while that continues. But what if bitcoin becomes just as private? Either it won't be trusted by the criminals and rejected as being backdoored by the glowies or it could have some great new feature and be completely open source in which case they gradually abandon monero. Oh well, I was a bitcoin early adopter who would be a multimillionaire now if I hadn't got excited by the unexpected high prices and sold far too soon. Won't make the same mistake again! 😉
@@DimaIns I thought it made Taproot more private, but, yeah, it wasn't the best example for sure. In the end, it's not the names I'm bothered by though, it's the features themselves. I hope they're not trusted!
@@BGP00 It won't be over for a while, that's one thing I'm fairly certain of at least. It does all come down to the timing though. A lot of crypto investors including myself are techies who don't have much experience with stocks which is both an advantage and a disadvantage 🤣
Lol I used voyager for like a month two years ago but never fully closed my account due to the fractions of a cent left over after I emptied all my money out, hoping that one day I’d be able to squeeze another cent or two out of the account lol.
But more realistically I never open the app ever and only get emails from the company and watching them slowly go belly up has been actually very entertaining lmaoooo
As soon as you said internet money i instantly went to south park when cartman made a viral video and wanted his internet money. Then the Mt gox meme of "and its gone".
As soon as I saw that they were lending based on crypto . I knew it was going to blow up. Lending on a volatile currency has to be the dumbest idea anyone has come up with .
I can like instantly because of the title. But people don't care, until they lose them :')
Fyi regarding stocks.
If YOU own a substantial amount of share in company XYZ - request that you get the actual certificate of ownership from the broker.
Yes there are many consumer insurance safety mechanisms in place - but you owning the paper stock certificate that grants you rights of the underlying asset is the EXACT SAME as you holding the private keys to a non custodial crypto wallet.
Contact your broker. Brokers are different.
The main difference between investing in crypto and gambling is that with gambling, the odds are at least somewhat close to 50%.
As for hardware wallets, I wouldn't store millions on them, because you can't copy the secret to another device off-site. I'd much rather generate a seed on a permanently offline machine, encrypt it, write it to various media (paper, USB, optical, whatever) and store one at home, one in a deposit box and one somewhere safe with a close relative. You need spare keys...
The thing is that 90% of people I’ve talk to about crypto is that they look at crypto like as an investment. When it’s just currency. Even the CEO of Exodus wallet made this quite clear that Exodus stock is a real asset. Crypto is a currency for just buying things.
makes sense. but trading on forex is just as sketchy. lots of platforms dont allow US traders. and banks just dont like you doing it directly, even though it's perfectly legal
And if you buy hardware wallet, you gotta be 100% sure it was not tampered with before you got it. It gotta have all the manufacturer's seals intact. There have been some incidents, where people got millions stolen off their supposedly secure wallet.
could you share with us your IT journey?
would love to know about your experience
There is winners and losers in everything and how do we even know they’re telling the truth?
Dont use a password manager for your keys, get a hardware wallet like Ledger or Trezor
Hardware wallets only store the keys not the actual assets. The asset remains on the blockchain and subject to market fluctuations. It is not the same as dollar bills in your traditional wallet. If you entrust your keys (private) to a third party, the third party controls access to your assets. As long as people understand reality they can make their own decisions.
It is Tulip Mania for a reason. We have FDIC until they find some excuse (like China they are trying to emulate) to not pay FDIC.
Trezor is great, although the devices are pretty expensive to get started.
There are two types of crypto investors:

I honestly wish the currency of the future camp could get a serious foothold.

Give me all your crypto, and I'll totally keep it safe™ That's what a custodial wallet is.
Well if you spell the word the way it says in the title and type it into a search engine instead of youtube you can find out
e. g. binance and similar
Where you don't (exclusively) own the private keys to the wallet.

Just moved all my ether and bitcoin to my own wallet a few weeks ago after a few of those custodial companies died and it made me see the writing on the wall. I used coin base, but I don't know how much longer they will last at the current rate. I think it will be in the dumper for the next 5 years while people lose interest in scams, regulatory frameworks are built, and shit coins die out. In the interim I will let my meger coins sit in my private wallet.

With a hardware wallet you still need to store your recovery phrase.
I know it's the wrong thread, but it's the right forum as far as I'm concerned:

At the start of the downturn I bought a Trezor and pulled my ETH and BTC off Coinbase. I still have some shit coins on there, like BAT and stuff, but that is funny money and I am not worried about losing 50 USD of shit coins.

I have a few hundred bucks worth of ETH in a custodial wallet from mining. Buying a hard wallet would cost too much in comparison. I don't plan on getting enough crypto to warrant a hard wallet.
I have been considering using a password manager (I don't really have any crypto, but for regular stuff). But I have not prioritized rabbit holin how they work. I guess you wouldn't want a cloud password manager, but a local one. But then you need a password to protect your passwords but I guess the one hard to remember password is better than a whole bunch of them. I am sort of waiting for the day some popular cloud password manager will have a breach and cause a big stir. Would love a video about password managers, maybe you have already made one and I should go find it. Keep up the good content!
Cryptocurrency exchanges are a centralizing force to a decentralized currency, they are an unnecessary evil that people must open up their eyes to.
An exchange is never going to operate for the benefit of the consumer: either they will go to big to fail or nickel and dime you for your transactions. **An exchange is always looking out for its own self interests.**
Honestly this is something I would like to see fixed, I would love to take a shot at it but I don’t have the funding or the expertise to program up a simple exchange right now.
Louis Rossmann has Futo on stream rn, you can ask em questions if u want, figured you'd habe good questions Kenny
ima have it a guess that people don't realise that they are using a custodial wallet nor do they understand the dangers of it. they just think company X has got my back they will keep all my money safe
I use pen and paper for passwords until I find something FOSS to manage it natively on my system. I am sure that I can burn all of that paper once I find something FOSS that is hard to compromise or impersonate me. Something that handles credentials in a smarter way to access the passwords.
yes
I have it on fairly good authority that Kuppy will be a buyer of Monero at $50, make of that what you will.
They deserve to lose millions. They're dumb enough to fall for it.
What password manager do you suggest? You have your ear to the ground when it comes to this. I'd like to know your opinion
Cold wallet, seed phrase in offsite storage (bank deposit box, for me). Don't make your pass phrases digital if you can
The stupid doggy doo coins have gotten out of hand. DOGE was a kind of fun y meme for a sec, but when it had that spike in value, multiple coins with "shib" in the name popped up to confuse newcomers into thinking it was doge
If your going to trade then use a truly decentralized DEX so your not beholden to a central authority, control is everything.
