Whether this story is fake or not, it has been mentioned before that unnecessary bragging may pose such risks and render you a susceptible target. Of course, this doesn't only apply to cryptocurrencies but to money in general. There's no need to pose your money and success on social media; you're never exactly sure who might be watching you and how robbers are using them to track down people with wealth.
On the other hand, I don't understand how they accessed his wallet; what kind of support did they contact? Why was he using an online, centralized wallet?

Unfortunately, money is a vital asset and is necessary to enjoy a comfortable life. Whether we like it or not, money has the power to determine our lives since everything revolves around it. However, being obsessed with it and setting its accumulation as our primary goal can be disastrous for ourselves. I don't want a larger house or a luxury performance car; I want to have a comfortable life without having to worry about running out of money, while at the same time being able to afford a vacation or spending it on those I love, thus, as other users already mentioned, it's important to find the right balance for everything.

It's been a long time not using this browser and as far as I know that not all users can produce this token by looking at advertisements because advertisements are only available in certain countries and if I'm not mistaken too, users who want to withdrawn this token must do KYC through a third party platform and that's one of the reasons why I no longer use this browser, If I hope to get a profit when the price of this token goes back up I will prefer to buy and store it with all the risks that exist
This is correct; unfortunately, I was barely receiving any advertisements in Greece, and when I did, they were only from the hardware wallet Ledger. In other countries, such as the USA, perhaps users would receive more advertisements, resulting in higher earnings. Thus, the amount of coins you earn is solely dependent on your country of residence, which in my case wasn't much and stopped bothering me after a day or two. The BAT token is now worth $0.30, and the OP is likely to barely make $100 during the bull market, which isn't too shabby. |

I also installed it a few months ago, but I didn't keep it. It's a decent browser, but Chrome is the way to go for me. It offers synchronizations and password integrations that I simply cannot give up for a few pennies. Also, I was barely receiving any advertisements; my location could potentially be at fault, thus, I wasn't earning anything worthwhile to make me switch browsers. As you've also mentioned, you've only earned $25 in over two years; it's better than nothing, but still, it's personally not worth it. On top of that, in order to withdraw, you need an Uphold or Gemini account, both of which require you to go through KYC, which I'm not willing to complete.
Was also thinking the same when I tried installing it years ago. And it asked me to submit KYC document when I haven't even earned something yet. I don't think it will make me anonymous because of the KYC they ask for. I'm not sure if it was the exchange or the Brave itself that ask KYC but definitely, they asked for it. I uninstalled it. But having 82,000 BAT already ready to sell when the price touches ATH, I might actually submit documents including the DNA  That's exactly my point. Why should I install a so-called anonymous browser only to request my information later on? I don't see the point, it contradicts the concept of cryptocurrencies while the earning capabilities are extremely minor that it seems like a waste of time to me. The OP is likely to earn some money during an upcoming bull run but till then, the $25 are a petty amount to me in order to switch from Chrome. My convenience is much more important. |

I also used to work online for some pocket money when I was a teenager; I still do so through Bitcointalk, but that's a completely different story. My parents didn't comprehend that you could earn money online a few years ago, at least until COVID-19 came along and changed everything. I never told my parents exactly how I was involved because they never understood the concept of cryptocurrencies, and that's unlikely to change. All they know is that I've made some money through Bitcoin in the past; I haven't gone into detail regarding Bitcointalk and signature campaigns, nor have I mentioned that I earn a steady amount of money each month.
Some things are better off remaining a secret.

I don't have any real regrets.
Many of my choices were suboptimal. I had more than 37,000 doge coins from faucets. At peak that could be near to $18,000. But I managed to dump all my DOGE before they were worth anything. I did crypto exchange arbitrage during its golden age but didn't put enough effort into it to translate into any real gains. I had many alt coins that I dumped, which became worth something later. There are many investment opportunities I thought long and hard about but did not pull the trigger on, which would have been big winners.
It'll always be a case of "if I had been smarter and put more effort into it, it would have been profitable".
There might always be good opportunities and good buy ins. Just as there was 20 years ago, 10 years ago, 10 months ago, 10 weeks ago. There are good opportunities right now.
Its good motivation to try to be smarter and put more motivation and effort into whatever you're doing atm.
I might only regret if I was being as complacent today, as I was being complacent when I missed out on all of these good opportunities in the past.
This describes exactly how I feel. Generally, I don't have any actual regrets either, but it has always been a case of not taking advantage when I could. Now that you mentioned it, I also had a few thousand Dogecoins; most of them were acquired through faucets and a Ponzi cloud mining platform back when it was founded. I received my second and last payment in Doge, which was approximately worth $5–10 at most, but I stupidly decided to dump it a few months later. Thus, my regrets are also mostly that I could have always handled things in a better and smarter way, which could have resulted in decent earnings nowadays. |

Just found a restaurant where the individual meal costs only 0,57$! Meal composed by rice, toasted cassava flour and black bean stew with few pieces of pork meats. Feeds one person decently and the taste is good. You can eat the whole month for less than 35$, considering lunch and dinner daily! That is perfect for cutting expenses with food!
Do you know any restaurants which serve cheaper meals than that where you live? It must be a meal, not snacks.
I do not think this price is beatable. It is sounding it is a free meal for people. How do they make profits? How much do they buy food items? Do they also pay rent such as housing and electricity. Then what is the hygienic status of the meal and finally which country does this happen if I can relocate. Don't expect the finest ingredients or the necessary meal preparation measures. The OP is most likely in a third-world country; I'm not sure if it was mentioned in one of the previous replies, but this meal certainly isn't as affordable as for local people; you're an outsider with a wage that certainly isn't comparable to yours. On top of that, you can't live eating beans and rice; they don't provide much in terms of nutritional value. You need much more than that in order to be healthy, and cutting down on food isn't the wisest option. |

I was introduced to Bitcoin as a teenager and struggled a lot to purchase some. I didn't have a card, of course, and my parents had refused to provide me theirs, while other platforms such as LocalBitcoins also required some sort of identification and a means of payment that could be conducted online (card, bank transfer, etc.). I only had a PayPal account in my mother's name, which I used on another forum in an attempt to purchase Bitcoin but got scammed in the process. Luckily, I managed to save my funds thanks to PayPal's customer service.
Thus, in my opinion, you need to be of a certain age in order to comprehend the fundamentals of cryptocurrencies but also to be able to purchase some, although times have changed now and there are more alternatives than in the past.

I've made quite a few financial mistakes, such as my first car purchase, which I regret as it was a bottomless pit as it was always breaking down and causing me to spend money on it. I ended up selling it a year later at a ridiculous price. Most who entered the cryptocurrency world early would also say that they regret not buying Bitcoin earlier, but that's something not worth saying. What I do regret though is giving up on cryptocurrencies in 2018, which was my largest financial mistake and the worst mistake I've done during my time here because it was conducted by myself and the blame is solely on me and could have been avoided if I was more persistent.

In my opinion, now the process of transition to electric vehicles will slow down.
This is due to the general economic situation in the world. In recent years, the amount of money in the world has increased several times. This is due to an attempt to overcome the effects of the 2008 global financial crisis and the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic.
Therefore, it is impossible to issue new money for investments in alternative energy and the development of electric vehicles. At the same time, prices for traditional energy carriers have increased. There were also additional investment projects related to the need to develop a fleet of tankers for the transportation of liquefied gas and the construction of gas storage facilities.
As a result, there is no scope for increased investment in electric vehicle production. Yes, this direction will develop, but perhaps not as fast as previously planned.
The economy isn't in a great state indeed, but technology progresses and new electric cars keep popping up. I'm pretty convinced that my next car will be electric, since, whether we like it or not, it's currently the best alternative for cars with combustion engines. We have over 10 years before 2035, and chances are that electric cars will be completely different from what they currently are. On top of that, manufacturers from China such as BYD or NIO will eventually expand into other markets, making the acquisition of an electric car more affordable. |

I had achieved great earnings approximately two years ago, if I'm not mistaken. I can't recall if it was 2021 or 2020. Anyway, it used to be extremely profitable; it still is, but not as much. I used to chase higher APYs and so on, but I haven't bothered for quite a while. After the Iron incident on Polygon and with Terra USD going to zero, I practically stopped messing with it and stuck with Bitcoin. I occasionally stake stablecoins, such as BUSD and USDT, but apart from that, I'm not sure that I'll proceed to anything of greater importance.

With all due respect, the sentimental mindset you mentioned seems like good to children but this is the exact cause why a lot of children can never be truly independent. "It's not bad to support but set out a limit line or border on how far you could only go", in reality, this never works and will make things worse. The reason is very simple that we are all humans and for spoilled childrens, if you have done a million good things to satisfy their needs but only one thing you can not do for them, they will remember this one thing and "hate" you. You may call this greed, selfish or anything but the point is that there is no way to set out a limit line or border for your children because they have taken things you have done for granted for so many years and they won't change their mindset. I myself am also a parent and the sentimental part of me fully understands your point but the rational part of me stands out to speak this out.
I do not understand why there is a need to be independent to begin with. I always supported that if you want to help people, help them, and if they can't make it their own without your help, then keep helping as long as you want to or able to. If you ever fail to do that, they will have to learn the hard way to become independent anyway, and if they can, that's great, if they can't then they will be forced to live a worse life. Your job for your children is to give them a great 22 year preferably, 18 years in some nations, but after that if you can keep supporting them, it would be still fine. As a person who is old enough, I would support my children as long as I possibly can. Thanks to bitcoin, possibly all their life. There's a difference between supporting someone and pampering them. Providing a helping hand throughout the first years of their independence isn't unpleasant. Just because your children are now adults doesn't mean that they automatically don't need your support. I've been living on my own since I was 18. As a university student, my parents supported me for most of these years, but after the second year that I found a job, they simply limited their financial support because I didn't need as much, so I wasn't completely independent. As you've already mentioned, providing doesn't stop when you turn 18. Currently, I'm 25 years old, and I consider myself independent enough to not ask for any support, but my parents will occasionally help me out with some stuff. |

Every single thing you purchase has taxes included, also known as VAT. Taxes are necessary to keep a country running. The issue isn't taxes themselves, but that, especially in some countries, the money obtained through them isn't going towards the benefit of the country and the community. For instance, here in Greece, we pay a relatively large amount of money for road tax, but the roads, especially in my area, are in terrible condition. If the money was put to good use, I wouldn't complain about having to pay them, but everything from roads to schools to universities to hospitals is underfunded.

Congratulations on acquiring your first Bitcoin, it's a milestone that I personally haven't reached and doubt that I ever will. I'm hoping that you took into account Bitcoin's volatility and don't panic during the first crash that the market may experience in the future, while at the same time you didn't take extreme measures in order to conduct such a purchase (you mentioned pocket money, but there are other newbies that resorted to loans).
As others have already mentioned, invest in a hardware wallet; they are extremely affordable and reputable brands are starting from as little as $70.

It's likely that you and all of us will be dead by then. As time passes, mining difficulty increases; thus, fewer and fewer coins will be put into circulation. It might sound like a petty amount, but approximately 2 million coins will take decades to be mined. I believe that your post is hypothetical, but you should keep accumulating through DCA; anything below $25,000 is basically a bargain. It's unlikely that you or the majority of us will become rich in the upcoming 10 years, but we'll definitely make some decent money by then.

I can't blame anyone for not buying at a lower price. Due to the poor financial situation, some of us, myself included, were expecting Bitcoin to crash even further, but it didn't. I don't really mind since I didn't have the necessary budget to purchase, so I was stuck accumulating through my signature campaign, during which time I was receiving significantly larger amounts of Bitcoin. However, it's still far from being "too late" to buy Bitcoin at the current $23,000 price, which isn't too bad if you're interested in long-term holding.

First of all, congratulations on your first Bitcoin acquisition; however, many newer members haven't properly comprehended the concept of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general, and the so-called success stories are to blame. You shouldn't be discouraged over losing $5 worth of value. I perfectly understand how you feel because I've been in your position before, but you should aim for long-term holding and the accumulation of Bitcoin while having realistic expectations. Chances are, if you're starting from scratch, you're unlikely to become rich from cryptocurrencies. Focus on your steady growth and don't be discouraged.

As much as people may claim that 2022 was a disappointing year for cryptocurrencies, I beg to differ. I'm not actively purchasing Bitcoin, but I'm saving each signature campaign payment I receive, which is pretty much the same thing. On average, I'm "purchasing" $200 worth of Bitcoin per month. The amount of Bitcoin I received in 2022 is significantly larger than in 2021. Thus, this market condition is a great opportunity to acquire as much as possible for the distant future, when we'll hopefully start seeing a recovery.
I tried with you at every payment for the signature campaign, it will not be sold but kept on hold until it can accumulate more because I believe it will be better than selling just a moment after the money can run out. If you save in every payment then this is the same as DCA every week I myself is $60 and $240 per month is enough for me to save bitcoin as an additional accumulation and while for other data with bitcoin that I bought before it is also differentiated so that the two are should go well. I'm doing exactly the same. Receiving regular payments from signature campaigns is no different than purchasing Bitcoin yourself. It's actually a great way to acquire Bitcoin if you're not willing to risk your own money. You could potentially sell the minute you receive your payment, but personally, I don't think it's worth it; holding is much more beneficial in the long-term. I'm a little away from my DCA, which is sitting at approximately $28.000 since two years ago when I started receiving signature campaign payments, which isn't too shabby. There's a decent profit margin to be made. Oh yeah me too! It's one of the way to accumulate bitcoin consistently. It's my own little way of doing DCA since it is assured that you are being paid every week and you will not worry about the hassle of buying bitcoin with your own cash every week. Its hard to expect a good profit from what we are standing right now, I believe it is just way more better to just wait and be more consistent in doing DCA and not touching the payment we are collecting every week. Long term is more worthy since we know that tit will appreciate over the time. It's a relatively safe-ish way to accumulate Bitcoin, without risking your own money. It's still money since you could also use an exchange's address and sell them immediately, but if you're being paid a fixed amount in dollars, saving it seems like the best option in the long-term. In our case, having realistic expectations is a must. We shouldn't anticipate yielding 10x gains; I'd be satisfied with a 2x yield too, which shouldn't be too much to ask for. Anything between $50,000 and $60,000 is quite realistic and could be expected in the upcoming year or two. |

Pretty, didn't know it. But browser is more practical, we rarely download and open videos via video players on our smartphones and even on your computers because of modern high speed internet and improved video-streaming platforms.
Yeah, and maybe this is their own approach in order to gain more users. YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Prime and what not. So I think this is a clever approach from KM Player to get some new and old users back to their platform. They have added in app YouTube watching too. Well, what you know, cheeky bast*ards. And no one will give on some free crypto right. Not to mention you are gaining it from doing what you do everyday. I am not here to promote KM player or anything, just saying that this is a very clever approach with the ongoing trend. I do remember about Brave browser which you could potentially get some BAT awards on seeing those ads or articles or something like that which this is one of the browser who had first integrate out that wallet but only for solely for BAt but this time there are other browsers already having their own inbuilt crypto wallet.Im aint sure if these are non custodial ones or you do have the full access of its keys or not. Basing up with the current existing web wallets we do have specially Metamask and trustwallet then it would really be hard on snipping out users to make use of their dedicated wallet too but i do agree into that point about trying to hook up users once again on using up their browser. I have the Brave browser installed, but I'm not using it because I find Chrome's synchronization convenient. Thus, it's practically impossible for me to ever give up Chrome's features and switch browsers. I had tried it, however, but when I tried to synchronize my phone's browser with my computer's, it asked to connect with a Gemini or Uphold account, both of which required KYC. Moreover, if I'm not mistaken, it was also a requirement to withdraw or save your BAT to a wallet. Back to the subject now, the Opera browser often had similar services, such as a VPN, which is handy but can also be added to other browsers with a simple extension. The same thing applies to the integrated wallet, which I personally wouldn't use. |
