In order not to be a guinea pig whose behavior is studied on every site you should install a blocker. For example, I have been using a tunnelbear blocker for this purpose for a long time.

It seems to me that anodized aluminum will in no way increase the life of the Trezor. The only thing he can protect him from is solely from mechanical damage. Otherwise, the anodized aluminum Trezor has the same internal part, the same microcircuits and the same filling, so you should not expect any increased service life from it. it will be easier to have a pair of spare Trezors of the same modification, this will radically solve the problem when you need to quickly restore a broken Trezor through a seed phrase.

Yes I agree. The authentication key is a device specially designed for this purpose, which will probably last several times longer than my Trezor. Moreover, if you very often use Trezor for authentication purposes, then for sure it will become unusable much faster than if it was used only as a wallet.

This is a very correct thought. And in fact, I was fighting back in 2015 to buy myself a spare Trezor. But for some reason i didn't.  And now i see that it's a rather stupidly. Now I will have to wait another week and a half until the new Trezor is delivered to me. All these weeks and a half, I will not have access to either the mail or the stock exchange. In conditions when there is now a strong growth in bitcoin, it was rather stupid to be left without a spare Trezor. But apparently this will be a lesson for me for the future.

If you have no experience in trading, then you do not need to start trading bitcoin. Just buy it and wait as long as it takes. It may take a year or two years or even more, but you will see how your investment gradually increases and it will inspire you. Do not start trading, because otherwise you will lose this money.

Look what bitcoin is doing !!! With such a pace, we can break through the level of 15000 by the end of the week. It turns out that no pandemic and no elections have the slightest effect on it! It grows by leaps and bounds!

This is what I call lossless trading! Buy bitcoin and wait for it to fly into the sky!

I think that these graphs may well correlate for this reason: It is no secret to anyone that the pandemic in the first place deals a very tangible blow to the US economy. The economy begins to suffer and, accordingly, large masses of people begin to seriously think about what to do with their savings so that they are not subject to inflation, and naturally some of these people turn their eyes towards bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. And thus, it can have a rather tangible effect on the price of bitcoin.

I had one case when I participated in some airdrop during which it was necessary to install a bot in my telegram account. And then, after I was going to remove this bot, it turned out that I could not do it. This bot kept appearing in my account all the time despite the fact that I complained about it, and despite the fact that I tried to stop its activity and block it.

I already ordered another trezor, and I had to do it not only because I needed to restore my coins, I had to do this because I used my trezor as a key of two-factor authentication for access to mail and some exchanges.

And yes, in fact, I think that five years is a pretty good, considering that I have been operating it almost daily, except on weekends.
 
Still, despite this, hardware wallet makers may need to consider making their devices a little more durable than a regular electric shaver.

I had a little incident yesterday with my Trezor. It stopped working. When I connected it to the USB connector, the screen began to pulsate white and then completely went out. I kept it, as usual, in my office in a desk drawer. Humidity in my region is normal, neither high nor low. He served me a little over 5 years. So, I'm wondering - 5 years is its normal lifespan for this device ?

Thank you so much buddy. You calmed me down a lot. The fact is that some time ago I lost my mobile number and therefore I entered the mail almost always using my Trezor as a second factor. It remains to purchase a new Trezor and restore it. Thank you very much for the hint.

I had an unexpected situation last night. Suddenly my first Trezor, which I bought back in 2015, stopped working. When I tried to connect it to the USB connector, the screen started flashing and he stopped responding to button presses. I checked it after a couple of hours but everything is still - the screen is blinking and it doesn't work anymore.

To make matters worse, I used it as a second factor to access my gmail. In this regard, I had a question - if I buy a new Trezor and restore it using a seed-phrase, will the function allowing it to be used as a key for two-factor authentication also be restored? Or not ? Has anyone encountered such a situation? If so, please give an answer to this question. It is very important for me to know if I have a chance to recover it exactly as a two-factor authentication key.

The presence of a KYC when registering on an exchange - I perceive this fact in two ways. On the one hand, this means that the exchange is legal and complies with the laws, it can also help improve the security of my account.

On the other hand, if my data leaks into the network due to hacking of the exchange by hackers, then later it can turn into the fact that anyone will use my documents. And potentially this can lead to the fact that I will become a participant in some illegal financial manipulations as a result of which the authorities may have claims against me.

For this reason, if there is an alternative, then I prefer decentralized exchanges, for registration on which I do not need to provide my documents.

It seems to me that all these recommendations about greater security and buying only top-end coins will be ignored by most newbies. Think back to yourself in 2017, did anyone think that the market could stop growing? Of course not) The same thing will happen now with all newbies. The loss of profit syndrome will haunt them.

In order to start trading on a cryptocurrency exchange, you need just a little - register on it and make a deposit. All this can be done within 10-15 minutes. However, not everything is so simple. You should be very responsible when choosing a trading platform and trust larger and more proven platforms. It is also worth getting a hardware wallet in advance - this will be the safest and easiest solution for storing your coins.

Yes, there is some confusion in terminology. Many projects call this - airdrop, but its something that looks more like a bounty campaign, since it implies active action on the part of the participants. But often this substitution of terms is done deliberately in order to manipulate people. For this reason, you need to look at which requirements in airdrop, you may not even want to participate in it.

In order to be able to earn big money, you need to have a sufficiently high qualification. The bulk of people are at the level of ordinary users who are only able to participate in the bounty. In order to become a developer, you must have a sufficiently high level of programming.

The world is acquiring new stability and new form. The fact that transformations take place through crises is normal. You can't be sick and then recover in five minutes. First you need to get medical treatment. And now this is happening - the healing of our planet and everyone living on it. Otherwise it can not be. And I would say that in general, everything happens in a rather sparing mode (in my opinion).

I agree that the pandemic and the limitations associated with it bring a lot of difficulties into our life. Logistics, production, sales - literally all technological stages of production and sales of products - now work very differently than before the pandemic. A large number of jobs are being cut due to the fact that enterprises are closed or are forced to send their specialists on forced leave. These are really difficult times for each of us.

As for healthcare and covid-19 in particular, I have not the slightest doubt that the use of blockchain-based technologies can qualitatively modernize this system, but in my opinion literally every person in this world can do for their health, including prevention covid-19 much more without resorting to any services of doctors or paid medicine. For several decades, there has been a breathtaking method of breathing (Buteyko breathing method). Practicing this every day - you will do much more for yourself and your health than all doctors in the world. For those who do not know - here is the link:
