Yes actually the biggest danger of floods is not oxidation/corrosion as some people seem to think, but to carry away your steel wallet instead. That's why it's also important to strongly attach it to the ground or to a solid wall at least, especially if you don't keep it at a high place. But the most safe option is to put several backups in different locations far from each other.  

I don't understand the point of buying an asset for holding it indefinitely. Why you would need that? And who would need that? People need money to buy goods and services, they don't need assets they will never touch, neither use during their lifetime. If they need something they won't touch, it would be more relevant to invest in paintings or housing for example. At least they could use it for something. In addition Bitcoin is less safe than physical assets, because it can be hacked, or you can lose it, if you lose your seed.

If "you do not want to hold something which others are primarily speculating on" I don't understand why you're holding Bitcoin because it's actually a highly speculated asset and its current price has nothing to do with its current use and value. You are also wrong when you say it's used for its original intention ie a storage of wealth that is not impacted by inflation. Bitcoin hasn't been designed for that purpose actually, it's just a maximalist narrative trying to find it a new plausible use case. But Satoshi Nakomoto initially designed it for just being a Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System, not a store of wealth.
Unfortunately it's currently no longer able to manage to fulfill its mission, as its transaction fees are too expensive and its speed is too slow.

To be honest I don't understand their point with Ethereum and what they are expected precisely with such strategy. As far as I know, Metamask doesn't only deal with Ethereum, it deals with hundreds, even thousands other coins. So no matter if Ethereum is a security or not at the end. Besides that they've added several features to the app not relying to the initial goal of Metamask. Now you can swap your coins on Metamask and even buy or sell cryptos against fiat currencies. I think it's what SEC blames for actually.

If they really rejected this idea because of carbon emissions produced by mining and energy consumption, it's sad, because this kind of decision could really be an important reassuring signal for investors and regulators. Unfortunately Bitcoin community especially devs and miners doesn't seem to be ready to consider another system of blockchain/ledger validation like Ethereum managed to do.

it's sad that none turkish language media has report the news. Because it's important to repeat that investing in high volatile assets such as cryptocurrencies is not safe. You can quickly get higher losses than with traditional assets. People should be reminded to stay cautious and to only invest what they can afford to lose or what they would be ready to gamble.

Yes but it's a software, so if you download a malicious update made by someone who eventually took control of the project now leaders of the team have been arrested, it could create a transaction and send your funds elsewhere or steal your seed. So IMO it's better to import your seed or private keys into another wallet as soon as possible, and to not download any upgrade before.

You say the best assessment is the number of high quality posts and then you name new user registrations as a relevant metric, you're wrong bots or spammers can create multiple accounts just for spamming, so it's not a good metric to assess the overall quality of posts. Neither the number of characters. We see many users belonging to some signature campaigns, posting very long low value posts. They never receive any merit and some of them are even tagged as spammers by some DT members, so it's not so easy.

Which wallet did he use? Electrum, Bitcoin Core, Exodus, another one? If things happened in the way you say, it's concerning. Because if I understand correctly, he just made a format by mistake. It means missing files have been formatted, so if he's unable to retrieve them, they are very likely to have been formatted, and not just deleted or sent to the trashcan.  

Definitely, watching or listening from the radio more matches, races and other events. Or at least reading news about it, when you bet it's something you can hardly restrain yourself from doing because it interests you and because you think you can do something from those informations in order to place a better valued bet. In addition it's exciting to follow an event when you have bet on it or at least to learn how the event took place.

I don't understand why they needed such confidential documents about your identity and your revenues if they just wanted to close your account. If they were investigating something about you and how you've placed this bet why not asking any question about that?
I wonder if any other bookie, especially fiat and licensed ones has seized customer funds for that bet.

Yes you're right I thought they were talking about an unknown Blockchain.com service. Because hackers would use this platform to hold "their" funds. But it's just some garbage talk in order to get more money IMO. They are certainly using this word with a capital letter in order to confuse people when they try to make researches about it or when they try to ask some questions about it I guess.

Unfortunately, there are many more than those platforms that are closing their doors. It's just the ones exposed by medias because they were large enough, but many others have closed without making any noise while scamming many of their customers by not letting them withdrawing their remaining assets or not sending them despite official announcements saying the opposite.

When did you buy your Bitcoins? At the ATH? It's a golden rule in trading, you should never buy an asset at his ATH, if you are not ready to lose your investment. Because chances to drop down are at the highest level. Actually best traders and smart money are doing the opposite, they try to buy interesting stocks/assets at their lowest price(aka bottom) and then to sell them at the highest price(aka top).

Je n'ai pas bien compris quelle décision ils ont pris exactement? Ils lancent une sorte de pétition c'est ça?
Sinon c'est assez hallucinant de voir Europol coopérer avec l'IRS americaine, à croire que l'interprétation que fait l'IRS du fonctionnement d'un wallet crypto qui existe depuis des années représente tout à coup un danger pour l'Europe. Quant à Google il impose au monde entier, une décision de l'administration américaine sans broncher, lamentable.

ca a l'air d'avoir un peu remonté ce soir et de s'être stabilisé, mais demain est un autre jour et ensuite le week-end puis la fin du mois arrivent. Mais on a un peu l'impression que les ETF ont permis d'amener plus de stabilité, si c'est le cas le dump ou bull run post halving ne sera peut-etre pas tres consequent.

Je suis d'accord, certains souhaitent certainement agir pour le bien commun mais il est malheureusement difficile d'avoir un avis pertinent sur des sujets que l'on connait mal et que l'on ne maîtrise pas vraiment. Et les cryptos font certainement encore partie des sujets techniques qui sont mal maîtrisés par les politiques. Résultat au lieu de se forger une opinion par eux-même en étudiant des sources neutres et impartiales, ils se laissent convaincre par les argumentaires des lobbys, qui sont parfois calibrés en fonction du bord politique de l'élu à séduire. Et on sait que les banques sont un lobby puissant.

Effectivement si c'est une promotion forfuite, la coïncidence est sacrément troublante quand même. Mais la transition ne devrait pas se faire avec beaucoup de difficultés, USDC etant heureusement disponible sur de multiples blockchaines et networks, dont certains d'où est absent nativement Tether, comme par exemple BSC(Binance Smart Chain)

Parce que sur un PC tu télécharges et tu installes tout un tas de logiciels et de fichiers dont tu ne te souviens même pas de la source bien souvent. Tu connectes régulièrement des clefs USB, et autre support de stockage ainsi que des périphériques. Tu laisses parfois d'autres personnes l'utiliser. Tu dois donc compter uniquement sur ton anti-virus pour te protéger. Sur un smartphone ou une tablette tu ne fais pas tout ça, tu telecharges et installes généralement uniquement des applis vérifiées émanant du store officiel du smartphone, tu connectes rarement des clefs USBs ou autre. Et tu laisses rarement quelqu'un d'autre jouer avec. En outre si tu n'as pas rooté/jailbreaké ton smartphone, les droits des applis restent (très) limités. C'est pour cela que je trouve cela plus safe personnellement, même si ca ne l'est pas totalement non plus.

Malheureusement USDT reste tres utilisé, certainement le stablecoin le plus utilisé d'ailleurs, il est donc difficile de switcher pour le remplacer par un autre pour l'instant. Il y a certainement des risques, mais je vois mal Tether bloquer massivement des adresses, ca détruirait la confiance du reste des investisseurs qui le feraient crasher en se retirant brutalement.
