I've always had problems with connecting my Ledger device to software wallets(mostly MetaMask) when the Ledger Live app is open. If you leave that app open(or any other app that connects to your Ledger), try closing it to prevent potential interference.


Looks good but I can't justify purchasing one with that pricetag lol. Probably something I'd buy if I performed really greatly with my investments this year.

I don't know — but there's a clear distinction between bitcoin and bfiCoin. If a person doesn't see the difference between the two, then he's bound to lose money in this industry.

You're pretty much introducing a person to Bitcoin as a moonboy, not as a person who's actually interested in the movement. Why advertise bitcoin as something that would pump anyway? Knowing that nothing is guaranteed in the first place. What if it doesn't pump? What now? Now you have a friend that over invested because he trusted in you.

Honestly, do your own reading and decide for yourself.

Also, do research before asking. There's literally a pinned thread on this section about this topic.

Knowing how possible it is to recover a bitcoin wallet will totally depend on how much info we have concerning the private keys. If we know literally nothing and without having access to the owner's previous device, then the chances is pretty much zero.

Investing in dividend-yielding stocks can definitely be a great move, but people forget that they need to actually pick ones that will end up performing well business-wise. Having stocks that give great dividend yield doesn't mean crap if the stock price is on a downtrend and if the business is slowly but surely dying.

This is something that Warren Buffett did pretty well with Coca-Cola: https://twitter.com/DividendGrowth/status/1630613809839718400

While being a millionaire is still a huge huge luxury thing — unfortunately due to inflation, the word "millionaire" doesn't have that much of an 'oomph' as it had a decade ago.


You might've not made as much as the bitcoin OGs that over-allocated in the past, but I'm pretty sure you still did well holding BTC.

If we're referring to people in countries with decent currencies — adoption aside, people simply don't like holding/using money that's volatile; they want it to be as stable as possible. People simply want to pay for their daily coffee without worrying much about how much their "money" has moved.

(Assuming your story is actually true)

I don't want to pre-judge, but the dude sounds like a long-con scammer. The ones that would befriend you and try to get close to you and all that, then will just end up conning you for your money.

That, or that he's just a total utter weirdo.

I'm definitely not against raising money from venture capitalists, but it's funny how they from time to time shit on VCs on their podcast for investing in crypto projects, but yet here we are.

These things are minor and some — not really true. Bitcoin is unique because it's the first decently-successful decentralized cryptocurrency that people can move around without needing anyone's permission but themselves.

The way I explain bitcoin to a person would totally depend on his/her personal background.

e.g. Personally, I'm around gamers a lot of times, so I explain it in a way that they can buy/sell their in-game assets without the need of risking their PayPal accounts getting banned and getting their transactions reversed because of bitcoin's trustless nature and transaction finality.

Then the blockchain you made will simply cease to exist. A blockchain having zero nodes running is just like deleting a file or like a torrent file reaching zero seeders.

Bitcoin is for whatever you want to use it for. Bitcoin is..

1. An investment vehicle for the patient person.
2. A currency for a buyer/seller.
3. An income source for the trader.

etc.

If I believed in Bitcoin then, why would I not today? Nothing much has changed fundamentally in the first place. I'd still be owning bitcoin even a country as big as the United States would ban it.

People frequently get too cocky with their investment sometimes — by unnecessarily flaunting their holdings to other people; or sometimes, even just by simply wearing a bitcoin/crypto-related t-shirt. Personally, I'd rather prefer that no one knows that I'm into crypto at all; just to be extra sure.

Do you have a previous backup of your operating system? You might be able to do a rollback to the date before you try to edit the file. Do some research on what the steps are as I haven't used Windows for a while now (which I assume you are using).

As for the random gibberish, well, you're not really meant to see some words on that file.

While emotional control is great, you can have top-tier emotional control over your trades but in the end you're still a bad a trader if you don't know how to trade in the first place.

I mean, think about it — why would people spend money on a hardware wallet if a software wallet is more secure? Obviously hardware wallets are better for 99% of people.

But don't take the word from me, go do some reading and learn for yourself.

Trading in general — regardless if cryptocurrency trading or not, is such a difficult path to take that you really can't blame people for being skeptical/cautious. Long-term success rates are staggeringly bad that you're better off doing something else instead.

Assuming you're telling a true story of you doing well, don't get too cocky — because not because you did well in the past, doesn't automatically you're going to do well in the long-term.
