22  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: [General] Bitcoin Wallets - Which, what, why? on: July 05, 2023, 04:01:30 AM
Talking about BTC wallets, how can I create one in my android.
Know that the most secure wallets are properly generated paper wallet, wallet on airgapped devices and reputed hardware wallets which are cold storage wallets. In short, offline or cold wallets are mostly secured.

Some people may validly argue that not all hardware wallets are cold wallets as users use it to make transactions, and it can also depend on how they are used to make transactions.

Online or hot wallets are not that safe, do not use online wallets to hold huge amount of money. Use cold wallets. For simplicity, you can use a hardware wallet.

The two Android wallets that I am using are Electrum and Bluewallet.

wise advice.
how do you consider the use of paper wallets presently ? how to generate securely ?

If I only can measure the real probabilities of these events, i would have made a fortune. /s
As of today it is mostly blah blah, BUT, if they start printing en masse again (in the face of 5-6% inflation), then all bets are off.
Right now, I am enjoying almost 5% in my money market funds, but started to look wearily on a gigantic money flow there...don't like crowded trades.

i dont know the present status, of FORBES, but in february 2022 it was said that CZ and binance were buying forbes...

In a recent tweet, Bukele notes that all taxes, including income, property, and capital gains, as well as import tariffs, will be eliminated. Additionally, this hasn’t come to fruition yet. The President said that he will be sending a bill to Congress next week.

Furthermore, the President notes that “technology innovations” will include AI development, coding, and apps, among others. Elaborating on the same, Bukele tweeted,

Man I stopped fighting buddy and all hell broke loose.

I will continue to not contest buddy and hope for a more interesting effect.

I will say this SVB appears to have been targeted with a massive run by depositors.

Wonder what Mon and Tues bring us

Unless I missed something SVB had most of its money in government bonds. That's supposed to be the safest thing, aside from just holding cash I guess. But people want returns, so the bank has to do something with the money. They only incurred losses because they had to sell these bonds at lower than face value.

If a bank with the safest investments can be brought down by a bank run in a couple of days, what does that tell us about banks that invest in mortgages, corporate bonds, emerging markets ?

They should have raised funds proactively, once Fed started to raise rates aggressively, but they waited and tried to raise funds only once they sold MBSes at a loss. As a result, market got spooked and they got hit with large amount of withdrawals.
You are right, though, fractional reserve is fractional reserve, it is all based on confidence. However, the question for most is: withdraw where? Apart from bitcoin, as we learn from the last year the answer is probably: who knows?

anyway management error, rapid rate rises are sure to generate  losses in gov bonds detained; banks are under predictable tension presently, and supposed to be able to bear this new charge brought by FED, if too exposed.

Huh?
I am not into altcoins. But, WTF is happening in the market today?
Three stablecoins de-pegged. Stablecoins are not stable anymore.

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/usd-coin/ USDC Was traded for $0.877
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/multi-collateral-dai/ DAI Was Traded for $0.911
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/fei-usd/ FEI Was traded for $0.89.

FEI was de-pegged in 2021. But, This is the first time for USDC and DAI.

Hey, You. Yes, You. Haha, You were afraid of Bitcoin, and you were holding USDC?  Roll Eyes


USDC has exposure to Silvergate and Silicon Valley Bank. Basically USDC is no longer fully backed (if it ever was).

do not be surprised with that ape look on buterins face when he realizes the guy like me is in control of him and no other way for him is left but to go upstage with remorseful face and announce the suspension of plans. Highbrow nuts say market takes care of itself because it proceeds hand in glove with development but they do not know how centralized this place has become since my coming to power.

i am a very modest user, but i do not understand the precise finality of this manoevers..
please explain..
33  Economy / Exchanges / Re: [ANN] Polarity.Exchange v1.1 DEX Security Release (2FA, Multi-sig security) on: March 07, 2023, 08:52:08 AM
polarity has been attacked, and after several days a release has been done:

https://polarity.exchange/blog/2023/03/security-incident-conclusive-statement/

what is strange in that statement is that polarity was a TN-based exchange,

and TN is neither cited in affected coins, nor in non-affected coins!

trust has been lost.

Still, this doesn't rid us of the fact that the change caused huge detriments in the short-term for El Salvador

OK? maybe, not sure, but it is no less than a planetary challenge...El Salvador opening a new path...with all the difficulties.
a wind of change for latin america..may it succeed..

38  Economy / Exchanges / Re: BREAKING: BINANCE STOPS WITHDRAWALS on: December 05, 2022, 08:21:49 PM
I wonder if this could happen to have anything to do with the mention that Binance's reserves are like 40% of its own token.  Seems like this could be a plausible reason to stop/halt withdrawals.

yes, concentration of reserves is a risk, especially when it is its own token or coin.
