Good idea.

Just generate your own addresses on a secure system.

I use an old Win7 system with no internet capability... no wifi card, no LAN cable. I use a printer that has never been (and will never be) connected to an internet-capable computer.  Print spoolers can be hacked.

I downloaded my paper wallet generator (bitaddress.org) on my main rig in the form of an HTML file, scanned it for malware, and copied it to my safe machine using a USB flash key.

It runs in either Flash or Java (I forget which) and you manually randomize the starting point. I usually create several dozen at a time and print them 4 to a page on high-quality bond paper.

You can later scan, encrypt and copy some of them and store them in multiple off-site locations destroying the original paper, for extra-secure but less accessible long-term cold storage.

Hope that helps.

Thank gawd for paper wallets and anonymity.

I made the mistake of buying a hardware wallet (Trezor) years ago. What a waste of money.

Gotta get my last coins off of it and safely onto paper.

It's not even a real dip.

It's just Bitcoin echoing the stock market dip caused by the new covid news, just like last March only much smaller.

The only exchange that really matters is Bitstamp.

Oops, forgot to add /s.

Didn't mean to worry the noobs.

 

OMG. A massive crash all the way down to where we were 3 whole days ago... currently $22740USD/$29293CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Will we ever recover?


Paper wallet users unaffected.

Oh, the shame.

Oh well. Tomorrow's another day.

Go Bitcoin go.

Depends what you mean by top.

I figure the 2020/2021 bull run tops out somewhere in the $300k-$400k range, but we'll probable have a few corrections along the way... maybe the first one around $30k.

Are we so jaded
Now with each new all time high
That we don't care?

Two four two nine eight
At Bitstamp and not one meme?
Ho freaking hum. Yawn.

I stand corrected.

I just realized
Almost halfway through the day
It's Haiku Sunday.

It's so nice to be
Back over twenty-four grand
'Murrican dollars.

Maybe we can reach
A new all time high today
If we are patient.

Mosquitos are a worldwide nuisance.

At least Canuck mosquitos don't carry malaria or dengue.

Yep. Believe some garbage you see on Morontube.

Yep. Everybody knows everything is Bill's fault. And chemtrails. And commies. And people who think the world is round. Idiots.


 

This rally has barely begun.

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Still consolidating just a smidgen higher than yesterday and the day before... currently $23565USD/$30135CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Let's keep this slow controlled rise going... not too fast.

Go Bitcoin go.


Is anyone really surprised?

Of all the mainstream financial rackets, insurance companies perhaps are the worst.

They hate Bitcoin.

3 in a row. Yay.

Jackpots galore.

Let's go for 4 in a row.

Cool.

Years ago for security reasons I considered making a quadrangle out of one 32' and three 40' containers with an 8' wide door to the courtyard in the middle for the safe storage of snowmobiles, etc. The door would be a roll-down steel security door like what they use for jewelry or electronics stores in bad neighborhoods. The containers themselves are fairly secure. They're frequently left unattended on waterfronts with millions of dollars in merchandise in them.

I considered second and even third stories but that would entail some kind foundation. Now that we have winter homes in Mexico, all we really need is a secure 40' steel pied-a-terre cabin in the forest by the lake as a summer getaway.

Thanks for the link. It took me back to those days when I was checking out various designs. At the time I could get 40' containers delivered for $2800CAD.

I think I just saw $23456 go flashing by.

Straight!

Wow. Thanks for the heads up Homer.

I was a little hesitant to post that picture but I'm glad I did. I was wondering why it was so cheap considering its hard to get a house in Toronto for less than a million or a decent cottage that close to the city for less than a couple million.

It might not necessarily be a problem. I spent 25 years using a trailer on 50 acres of rented maple sugar bush in Oro as my country getaway.

I eventually had 3 trailers and a wolmanized, galvanized outhouse/generator shed with the complete blessings of the municipality. All the trailers were on a high bank overlooking a fairly substantial creek with waterfall. All they cared about was that everything was "portable" with no foundations and that no one was living there full time. When the land owner gave them my address in the city, that was that.

My only real problem was security. I considered converting an intermodal shipping container into a "mobile" home by torching in Lexan MR-10 windows and setting it on railway ties. Unfortunately the owner died and the estate sold the property.

As you can see by this picture, the present owner of this lakefront spread seems to have a trailer there already:



Being in an Environmental Protection One zone would actually be good for me as I prefer a natural undisturbed environment.

I'd like to be able to bring in hydro though. Maybe they'd let me use a trencher to bury a cable. Maintaining and fueling a generator is a hassle. I'd love to relegate my Honda to backup duty.

I obviously have lots of research to do.

Thanks again.

If you're really an investor who believes in the long-term potential of Bitcoin, any time is a good time to invest.

If you're merely a trader, trying to earn a little fiat by buying and selling despite trading expenses, your timing is probably not the best.

You had lots of time to buy below $10k earlier this year. You already missed those opportunities though. You may get another chance to buy below $20k but don't count on it. It's still better to get in now while it's still relatively cheap. It's almost certain to go a lot higher.
