Adding biometrics as a means to access your private keys is a very bad idea. We literally leave our finger prints on thousands of surfaces regularly and these could be scanned and extracted.
When you consider that crypto is designed to be pseudo anonymous, linking your biometric data is counter productive.

There is; Backing up your private keys in multiple safe locations, so you have more than one point of security.

They are not. Biometrics are simply convenient, reason why they are so popular.
Most secure means of identification? Not at all.

None of these requirements are new.
Exchanges have been very demanding in there KYC/AML procedure for quite a long time now and it's becoming more difficult to evade these days. The lines of what transactions or actions does not require de anonymizing oneself is getting blurry and with it the cost of privacy increases.

Assume that any information you submit to a website has already been viewed by multiple third parties, including banks, brokers, hackers etcetera.

• As long as it is financially convenient to do so, Yes.
You should only invest amounts you can spare and would not be needing at that time, this value changes based on your financial situation and you should adjust your investments accordingly.
10-20% of one's monthly income is a healthy amount regardless of economies crisis. The idea is invest amounts you're comfortable with, could be 2-5%.

• You should ideally have prepared for this sort of situation before one gets into it; Saving for the rainy day.
Growing your income sources is one way to survive an inflation.

Trading fee on bisq ranges between 0.12% and 0.88% for maker and taker.
So, for a high trade the fees could be significantly high. If we are to consider the transaction in the op. If it was done on bisq and I was the taker, the fee would have been about $44, about half of the one in the screenshot.

All middle men take a certain fee for their services, some higher than others relatively.
Building trust and trading completely Peer-to-peer is an option where one does not have to pay a fee, but it involves high level of trust to work without some sort of escrow.

I am of the opinion that there is nothing like a secure platform on the internet or in real life, people have been scammed through social media, banks and pretty much every establishment in-between, regardless of their privacy laws.
If you are interested in crypto, you should first understand that you are your own bank and you provide your own security, bearing the risk of actions you take.

I do not use coinbase services and cannot discuss how they run their programs. But as mentioned earlier, you should not depend on third party services to do due research. You should not even trust the platform if they did tell you that they researched on the services offered.
Do not trust; Verify.

I do not agree with the boldened part. There is no necessity to take out anonymity from cryptocurrencies as that's what they were built on.
Steps (like those outlined) can be taken to protect and you can send an email to coinbase for due consideration.
I can also suggest publicly tagging them on social media as that usually gets a faster response.

Largely depends on the content of your guide and what exactly the "other cool tips" are.

• If the post is more specific on how actual wallets work and their utilities, then wallet software is the best fit.

• If it's more of a general guide to wallet security and tips to keep your crypto safe, beginner's & Help would be a better fit.

All in all, do not stress too much over it, after making the post, fit in into the option you feel is best based on the content. It would likely stay there is it is a fairly good fit.

Living exclusively on crypto is not possible at the moment (except maybe where Bitcoin is accepted as a level tender). There are lots of online services you can finance with crypto,l Bitcoin, and depending on your country's acceptance to cryptocurrencies, some physical stores and merchants could accept it as a medium of payment, but that's the extent of which it can go. Search around your country to know how far this extent goes and how much you can get directly with crypto.

Also crypto is a general term to describe thousands of coins. You will have to specific on the currency and how receptive the country is to it.

That was ~25 minutes well spent, or rather ~16 minutes if you count that I watched it on a faster playback speed.
Thanks for the channel recommendation, his mix of wit, humour and actually passing on useful information is something I would want to see more of..

To the topic in question, privacy; It is something I didn't care about before I stumbled into Bitcoin and this forum, I allowed permissions, agreed to ToC without reading the agreement, and accepted cookies without giving it a second thought, which is the same for a frightenly amount of people out there.

In addition to the privacy risk when you click on a website, there is also a risk when you simply talk to someone as some device could be "inadvertently" activated and pick up your conversation; this was covered in this guardian article. This blurs out the limits to what information companies, brokers and who knows who else can acquire about someone.

The issue I see is that the cost of keeping your privacy is constantly increasing. The populace is gradually being herded into grating access inorder to perform simple tasks, otherwise they would have to go through several hoops to remain somewhat anonymous.

If the miners cannot find the solution at their first attempt, they adjust a parameter in their header and try again. It's a continuous process which continues until a miner gets the hash result. This can take a long time or a quite short time period.

The time it takes to solve the cryptographic puzzle and confirm a block, is averagely fixed as the difficulty level is adjusted to match the Bitcoin hashrate so the time between transactions is approximately 10minutes, not a fixed time.

Clauses like this are the reason I do not get excited when governments get involved with Bitcoin. It helps Bitcoin adoption as it markets it to an entire population and the more governments do that, the more people get aware of Bitcoin. The downside is Bitcoin is run as a centralized market, where users have to submit KYC and the government's use it as a tool to track their financial tracks

Governments adopting Bitcoin is big news, but a bigger news is the citizens moving towards Bitcoin as an alternative to government backed cash. That presents a more community based approach

I do not see how this creates a risk of a possible market crash. Periods of correlation between different markets which share investors is expected and has been happening for quite sometime now; This could be due to shared trader sentiments and does not signify a crash.

I do not see this as a long term situation, there are shared investors in different markets, but that does not stop them from having individual value based on their uses and qualities, Bitcoin would not be any different.

Imo, this does not call bitcoin's properties into question at all.

I do not fully understand the context of your post and some of the words like "modded", (which I assume means modify).  But if I'm to speak from a general stand point on the topic of plagiarism; If you don't credit the source which your content is based on, then it counts as plagiarism.

If it has little or no original thought or inclusion.
The percentage of originality varies across different sectors, but for a general discussion forum, you should not copy/paste or at least not be reading off the post or source when wrting yours.
Paraphrasing also counts as plagiarism.

No you do not have to.
There are decentralized, P2P networks where one can trade without having to go through the KYC process, one of such platforms is Bisq. However such decentralized platforms usually have lower liquidity.

If you want to deal privately, yes, you would need to trust the buyer/seller or trust an escrow, if you both chose to use one.

Binance is a third party and not directly related to Bitcoin, so you shouldn't base your Bitcoin or crypto decision on them.
All centralized exchanges (coinbase and binance included) are prone to hacks and crashes and are dependent on the developers.
Bitcoin operates efficiently without them and if you wish to consider it, there are open source custodian wallets you can use, as well as decentralized P2P exchanges for exchanging Bitcoin, or just directly trade P2P.

• Do not store your funds on a centralized and custodian platform,
• Do not submit your personal details to them either.

• The statistic supporting a local board for the Nigerian community have been laid out already and in several posts

• The problem with communicating through a local thread has also been expressed as it reduces the flow of discussions as well as maing it a difficult read,

• The solution to this problem would be a local board with possible child boards which would give more legitimacy to the community, connect more Nigerians on the forum and make it easier for information to be passed around.

I'm also requesting theymos to consider the plea of the members of the Nigerian community for a designated local board.

I do not think I have seen a post which compares relatively which DCA technique could be more profitable in terms of aount of bitcoins acquired. If DCAing, j personally would prefer it to be as simplistic as possible, this involved buying a specific amount, at a specific time.
Timing red candles or price drops dives into the area of trading and could be complicated for someone who simply wants to own some bitcoins.

Some would argue that DCA helps someone who doesn't have a lump sum available to build a structured way to stack up their portfolio.
They could for instance set aside 10% of their earnings every week or month to buy Bitcoin.
It also helps with indecisiveness, as some with money to invest would want to pick their best possible time to buy.

The game is very open and both teams threaten when they go forward with beautiful end to end play.
Getting the first goal in the second half would be very crucial in deciding the game;
• If that goal goes to Manchester City, it could decide the game, creating a deficit that would be difficult t overcome.
• If Liverpool gets the first goal, we are back level and it's anyone's game from then on.

Great game.

This case is quite different from the guy who inadvertently threw away his hard drive which contained his private key.
This involved 7,500BTC not 79k and happened in 2013, not 2011.

Those bitcoins are almost certainly lost for good as the hard drive would likely be irredeemably damaged by now even if it was found, which is an impossible feat as well.
The current case which the OP is discussing could still b a wallet which someone has access to, so it can't be determined that they are lost.

It essentially does. Seedphrase serves as a fail safe system which you can use to recover your address should you lose other modes of access. Reason why it would be kept secure and possibly duplicated in different locations.

2FA serves more as a means to prevent breaches through your device and is not much recommended cause it involves a bit of centralization

Countries can simply ban Russia's digital blockchain and not interact with it as a way of imposing sanctions, just as some countries have done with Bitcoin. Of course it would be possible to trade it P2P without banks or government intervention, but this would have little effect to the country as majority the trades that boosts economies do not happen covertly, but rather publicly between Nations.

Few weeks ago, Russia requested that E.U Nations purchase their oil in ruble as a way to boost the currency and in turn the economy.
Creating a CBDC would not evade sanctions, it would just be another centralized digital currency.
