Make sure that gadget is free from any malware or virus so that you're sure that it won't be controlled and gone. And that's gonna take for a long time for you to connect it again to the web and that's when probably you're about to sell then. If this is too much for you to handle and you've got no laptop or the same device or gadget then the best thing to do is to buy a new hardware wallet, and because of some things happening with Ledger, choose Trezor.

2202  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Whats required of me as a newbie in other to grow in this prestigious forum? on: May 19, 2023, 05:13:29 PM
Keep on researching and more reading, most of them should be interesting topics and the current trend in the crypto market. Since you've said contribute, you've got little or big knowledge and if you've seen that knowledge hasn't been shared by someone then do the intiative to share it to the community and that's a contribution. If you're more into Politics and Society discussion then focus in there if that's what you think you'll excel and not just that, make sure that you're enjoying discussing those topics there. It's important for you to enjoy and show that you're natural and truly have passion over all those topics.
2203  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin retirement benefits on: May 19, 2023, 03:59:18 PM
How many have already decided to make Bitcoin as their retirement plan? Answer: too many. All of those factors you've said are good and someone can easily sell Bitcoin at anytime an individual wishes to do it. There's no intervention from any third party and the retiree can get his money anytime that he can no matter what is the situation of the market. While many can't take a whole bitcoin as a savings, don't think about that but make sure you're able to save as much as you can and that's the plan for your retirement money. We may not be as wealthy as the others but we're wiser than them who doesn't think this way. A smart person will still have his benefit at the end as we grow older and we'll enjoy it through our retirement.



2204  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Switching hardware wallets won't solve a thing; different chips in cold wallets on: May 18, 2023, 11:42:22 PM
It's actually a hot topic now after Ledger's new feature has came out. I'm not technically good with those aspects and terms and as well as jargons so threads like this is totally helpful to people like me. You've said it right when this issue popped out, it had me thinking that I should go for another hardware wallet for which my choice is the Trezor one since it's cheaper than the T version. After seeing the comparison of it, the features that has the One version is already good enough for me and will saved me more than a hundred bucks. While the topic relatively to Ledger is still going on, we'll see where this is leading but it's made the entire community of it dismayed and lost their credibility that has been looked up and protected for a very long time.

2206  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What are we expecting from now until Bitcoin halving? on: May 18, 2023, 09:02:05 PM
Just wondering how everyone feels the next 11 months will go until the Bitcoin halving?
Let the months come and see it for yourself. Nobody knows how it will go because trends could change but the after-effect of halving is known to the most and that's gonna make Bitcoin's price reach another price ceiling aka all-time high.

I am counting down the months now looking forward to my first bull run next year and curious.
Enjoy the ride and it's for sure will be worth it.

Are we expecting any more major crashes or should the markets start steadily rising in a few months or so
If it's with a major crash, comparing it with the 4-year cycle then that crash should have been done already last year. And in preparation of the halving, the market should go steadily go up in a slow manner.

or will that not happen till the end of 2023?
But then, as there's always the unexpected that comes to the market. Just allow anything to flow and come and see the greatness of it with your very first halving and bull run soon.

Hello Jury, I wish you speedy recovery and you're doing a great job if you've been doing that monthly. Other people can't even dedicate their time on Bitcoin knowing that they've got no problem to deal with. But unlike you, you're doing it correctly. You're DCAing and that's how everyone shouldn't make excuses because if you're doing something such as this and you're able to consistently doing it for several months, then it means that you're totally committed on it. Don't worry, all of our efforts and investment through Bitcoin is worth it. Are you projecting and trying to play calculation on how much gain you should have in the nearest future based on the amount you're investing in?
He's doing his best out there to build a future for himself and, most likely, to take on the obligation of providing financial assistance to his family. It takes a long time to see such amount of energy from a disabled person trying so hard to be consistent in the market, and we sit down and give up so easy because of one or two losses. His story is not a made-up one, because I can feel his anxiety and have mentally drawn out his situation. One thing I can advise him is that he should never give up, and that bitcoin is worth the struggle and ambition he is pursuing.
While he's trying to do his best and becomes consistent with DCA and have a dream. There are people that even have complete resources and job but they say that they've got not enough resources. It is depending on the person's eagerness whether to invest or not despite the situation.
Yes, life is tough and we're all experiencing it but with this toughness it is giving us our ways on how to be flexible and what to pursue. Just like with Jury's, this is the perseverance that everybody need. You will really feel someone's emotion with these stories that you'll read, whether they're for real or not, this do happens a lot in reality.
2208  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is "dying". on: May 18, 2023, 12:53:33 PM
If that's what you think, so be it. But it doesn't mean that if you're thinking that it's like that and Bitcoin is dying, it really does. We've got a lot of people that are optimistic with Bitcoin's future and if you don't like people owning Bitcoin because they see it as a store of value and will just eventually be sold later on, that's fine. We've got different purposes and desires why we are holding Bitcoin. The idea of Bitcoin being a future payment and currency isn't being removed and gone. You're just noticing that there's a division for those people that likes it as an investment instead of a payment method. But you need to realize that neither of those are being gone, Bitcoin is still being used as payment by many and we're all optimistic of its future. And as for these KYC, it's these companies jurisdiction and responsibility to do it because they're being required by the government. Do not forget that we've got options to opt-in whether you want to use a service or not.
2209  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Are there any smartphones out there that are hard wallets too? on: May 18, 2023, 10:00:24 AM
Ledger Nano X has its mobile app through its Ledger live app and it supports iOs and android OS. Well, they're in the hot seat now thanks to their new added feature which is the ledger recover and it's good for everyone to know about it and there's a continuous discussion all about it.
Thread: Ledger Recovery - Send your (encrypted) recovery phrase to 3rd parties entities
While this has just given me the idea of what OP is looking about. I've personally thought of this actual smartphones are hardwallets by simply downloading a wallet like Electrum mobile and keeping that phone offline, the same goes for those laptops that are used as an actual wallet for those that can't afford to buy a hardware wallet or chooses to use that with their spare laptop and keep it disconnected from the web as if it's an actual huge hardware as their wallets.
2210  Economy / Economics / Re: Helpful mineral resources on: May 17, 2023, 11:58:07 PM
If Africa can make use of their resources well, they will be more independent, free from indebtedness and indirect colonial system of other countries.
There is no doubt that they're rich with those mineral deposits. But do they've got some partnerships with other countries that also pays them to operate and dig up all of those deposits right? And that part of the contract is hard to get removed when they're bind together with them and the stake is all about being friends to them and the relationship that's built through business will remain. Yes, it will help a lot to get out of debt and make themselves have a better living but it's part of the system and with such, there's a flaw.
2211  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Ledger Recovery - Send your (encrypted) recovery phrase to 3rd parties entities on: May 17, 2023, 10:47:00 PM
Say that even if we've got the old nano s but they can still try to do something and update and force an update for its firmware, is that right?
An update is irrelevant. As I explained earlier in this thread and in the tweet just above, the whole point of Ledger's Secure Element was that the private keys could never leave the Secure Element. We now know that claim is a lie, and has therefore been a lie since day one. A simple piece of code is all that is required to extract your private keys. All Ledger devices are vulnerable whether or not you opt in to this or update to the latest firmware.
Right on, that's my worry and that's why even I've got the old one I know that if I try to connect and they forcefully require an update then I have no choice. Thanks, I've missed the tweet part as it's just a milliseconds after I've posted and still got to go through with everything, I'm overwhelmed with the info and technicals that's in here.




This kinda give me some biggest concern, as the process everytime we use our Ledgers in doing a transaction, we have to approve it through our devices and this requirement is kind of sick, those that will avail the service should review this first.

No thanks Ledger. I've got my old nano s and good to see that it's not affected by this unimpressive upgrade of theirs. I'm still trying to absorb all of these questions on my mind while reading the entire thread backreading interesting questions that would do concern everybody's worry on this feature they've just made. I hope that there's a bigger company that would poke them and give them a shake on Ledger's head that this is full of bs update and defeat's the purpose of their own product. Say that even if we've got the old nano s but they can still try to do something and do a force update for its firmware, is that right?
2214  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Big secret you wouldn't be told on: May 17, 2023, 03:23:37 PM
One who just plainly invest don't have to be a full time trader. It's proven that those who invests and don't trade at most times are the ones who wins the most. These are the patience people that are waiting for the right time to sell. Yes, there's trading on it but we all know the actual trading like those daytraders or even week traders. I'm talking about those plain investors or holders that are totally okay to wait even for a year or two or even four or even more. We saw those whales that have held their Bitcoins and did nothing and it's all rewarding them now on whether we go back in a bear market and they'll sell still, they're in greater profits from the beginning they've bought and decided to hold.
2215  Economy / Economics / Re: Financial education or 1million dollars on: May 16, 2023, 11:41:03 PM
Financial education has always been a game changer in the financial state of a man, it is the best education a father can give to his children because once you are financially educated, it's near impossible not to be financially stable.
Yes, just like what my parents have told me that they may be no treasure that I'll inherit from them. But they can give me the education that I can treasure forever and this is also including financial knowledge and money management.

Have you wonder why most lottery winners have gone back to square one after winning or most rich kids losing their inheritance due to poor/bad management of funds, it's because they lack financial education.
True, they've got no idea how they'll retain that wealth they've obtained and this is also making people believe that if you haven't worked hard for the money you've got, it will also be spent easily.

On the other hand 1million dollars is truly a life changing amount of money but if you are not financially educated, you will lose it all on  the long run,
I don't know if anyone sees it the same way I do?
I agree. We're all striving to reach that goal and the thing here is, even if we're financially educated, we're keeping up with this goal but we don't know how long will it take us to be there. But anyway, we're all aware of our expenditures and that's still making us educated financially on that matter.

I think many would not miss the opportunity to earn money by participating in the life of the UniJoin service. Jambler, whirlwind.money have similar programs.
I think this type of feature or service is a good one. But if they've got enough funds to cover all of their operations and it's not needed yet, they won't pursue it. Honestly, programs like this is a good opportunity for someone who's enthusiastic with mixers especially with Unijoin.
Btw, if anyone hasn't seen it yet. I've just seen that soon there will be a mixing service as well for some alts.

2217  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wrong Predictions as price keep failing! on: May 16, 2023, 09:23:50 PM
Nobody bitcoin price prediction has work this season
They're just predictions and they're not being said as if it is the one that will be followed by Bitcoin. More like it's a guess about the market's movement and with Bitcoin's price. It's truly hard to see someone gives an accurate prediction on this highly volatile market.

I told my friends early January that this year will still be difficult for bitcoin to rise since they're still blocks on digestive and ingestive policies of government, why bitcoin should not stay by government. But they argued me to a fault but I knew bitcoin will not gets to $40k this year. The price will definitely rise but not at the moment. Do you predict the price to any level year?
Anyone will have our own prediction and definitely the price will be favorable to the likes of us. Like what you've said, not gonna reach $40k and for the others you'll see them predict $40k and even higher. With me, I'm already happy to see it reaching $30k once again and becomes stable there.
2218  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Can someone stole your money with seed phase? on: May 16, 2023, 11:27:15 AM
Short answer: yes.
That person who happens to know your seed phrase will also have access to your wallet because that's what it all takes for someone to recover and import it through seed phrase. That's why we keep it away from anyone and we don't tell it even to the closest people to us. Because you'll never know who have taken your funds if it's recovered by that robber through your private keys or seed phrases.
2219  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A new milestone: 1M addresses hold 1 Bitcoin on: May 15, 2023, 11:54:38 PM
It doesn't matter to me how many of those belong to one owner. The important thing I guess is we see that there's 1M wallets that have been filled with 1 BTC and all of them are holding. While it's estimated that satoshi has got 1M supply and that will never be recovered. We can think of how many of these are no longer in circulation while these 1 btc's that are in these wallets, this only simplifies  that many have been taking care even of themselves and hold at least even 1 btc.
2220  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Binance User on: May 15, 2023, 10:02:25 PM
I believe that they've notified every user that shall receive it about this arrangement or you probably have missed it. And even if you still use your old address from them with certain cryptos that you'll deposit, you'll still be able to get it but it's going to be hassle than ever.

This update will save a lot of persons from loosing their Crypto. But if I may ask, is that action of theirs not against their community standard and promise? , Changing users address without a formal  notice should be questionable and any lost incurred should be accounted for by the team. Am saying this if it is true that they are  not notifying their users. Upgrade is good but it shouldn't be at the expense of community users. I hope all binance users see this update
As you can read with the blog that they've made posted above. There have been users that have already received the notification and if you haven't got one yet, you have no problem of using your old depo address. And much better before making a transaction, always check the deposit address if you ever will deposit to your Binance account.
