Giving more people copies of your private keys creates several points of error, where the safety of your assets does not depend on you as anyone of them could be careless with it.
You can inform them (them being anyone you trust enough and you want to inherit your wealth) of where you stored a copy of your seedphrase or where you stashed up your hardware wallet. You should also teach them how to use it safely and properly.

Locktime transactions could work, but it would require monitoring as you would need to change the raw transaction from time to time and inform them of the new one.

The issue is far too many members of the public are not privacy conscious and many see seeking privacy as having a criminal motive. The more people who flock to privacy centered platforms, the harder it is for members who do not want to reveal their personal information to keep it private.

Depending on the location, that would be an attractive amount for one to give up their KYC documents for, especially when you do not see the worth of keeping it private.

The first rule of investing is risking why you can afford to lose. So you should check if $500 is an amount you can afford to lose, although, I would assume with the fact that you have a long term goal that it's an amount you do not need at this point (spare money).

Before you consider imvesting, you should do your research on how to invest;
• Safety is the most important aspect of investing, choose the right wallet software or hardware to use and remember to back up safely.
• You will also have to learn to browse safely and avoid scams

Would love to read what you write, or wrote already.

Going through the link, I could not find any credible source to the claim, it was more of a claim.

Also, the article presents this as a problem, with Bitcoin being a threat to financial institutions. Whether this is true or not, individuals have the right to evade sanctions if they can, Russians in general have not done anything wrong and do not have to suffer consequences, if Bitcoin would help avoid those consequences, then it is working as it was designed.

This is a privacy centered forum so you can't determine who is a "big shot". But there are members who have been handing out loans for a long time on the forum, one of them is DarkStar, who doubles as the campaign manager of Chipmixer; which is the highest paying campaign on the forum.
Here's a link to their loan thread - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3243635.msg33783049#msg33783049

Have you considered visiting the lending section of the forum? There you can find loan offers from members of the forum.
Your best option if you choose to consider forum laons would be a collateralized one as your account is fairly newbie, despite the fact that it's old. Finding a laon offer which accepts BTC as a collateral might be difficult, but it's worth the shot.

I've not seen these sort of congratulatory posts around the forum for some time. Congratulations on your new rank.

I'm not aware of any benefits of being a legendary ranked member. The closest to any benefit would be earnings in signature campaigns, but that does not differ much between hero and legendary. Many projects group both ranks to the same cadre.

The difficulty level depends on how deep and expansive you would want the courses to be. An introduction into the blockchain world, majorly containing the basics would be fairly easy for an undergraduate to understand.

Students already are forced to take a lot of courses which are not directly relevant to their chosen field of study. Having an an elective course on blockchain and crypto would not be a bad idea imo.

Some would argue that safety protocols like trust feedback and trust flag serves as protection against scams.

The idea that the forum does not try to protect users could pass a wrong message to newer members. The forum puts some community oriented process in place to protect users especially newbies and guests from falling for scams. It is not just moderated, so there would be no action taken if you fall for scam.

I get this exact same result sometimes when browsing the forum on my PC using duckduckgo, where I have uBlock origin installed.
I've never had the same issue on my mobile device where I have it disabled (mainly cause I only access bitcointalk on that browser and no other website).

As has bee suggested, whitelisting the forum, or disabling uBlock on it should fix the issue.

Not just a plan, the project was already set in motion, the name of the new forum was decided and funds allocated to it about 11 years ago, when theymos created a thread looking for a software developer .

The beta for the new forum software was actually launched for testing.

The project is long overdue and there is some uncertainty about when it would be ready.

The data on the forum would be migrated to the new software.
And most of the forum features and layout would be the same, but where would be some major updates to it.

I was mildly surprised seeing '50T' reviews, which refers to 'Trillions'.
 I have personally not seen a website with trillions of downloads, that would be weird as we have only a couple billion people in the world.
It's actually '50K' downloads, referring to 50 thousand and 5K+ reviews.

In reality, those numbers does not sound perfect at all. Such amount of stats are very easy to fake, and I wouldn't use a website which is not very popular to get lots of credible information on it, especially if it's related to finance and assets.

And downloading should of course be done via the appropriate source. Extra marks if it can be verified.

Investing does not give weekly income. Investing is basically buying into an asset you expect to rise more in the future and holding until that time, it could dip and crash during that period, but it's not a loss if you don't cut your losses.

About where you to invest, you would have to do your own research. All investments have a fair share of risk and you will need to understand what you are investing in, this means doing your own research.

This creates a very risky situation for the users affected. Most of the scam techniques used these days are commonly known and mostly targets newbies. But a personalized phishing attack and a fair bit of panic could fool even the most experienced users out there and this is only the least of concerns; More personalized hacking attempts could be attempted on affected accounts.

More situations like this would occur to dissuade users from submitting their details to random websites.

Greed.
Scammers mostly bank on the greed of people they contact and it is quite a powerful emotion which can override normal thought process and make people fall for otherwise obvious scams.

This thread is not directly related to Bitcoin and there are already so much of this scam awareness threads around.
Beginner's & Help or Off-topic could be a better fit.

What official website are you talking about? And what recommendations were you given?

What wallet did you use before? Most wallets these days show the seed phrase rather than the private key for easy backup. And, after transferring bitcoins, the sending address might be changed to an unused one for privacy, but the seed phrase or xpriv remains the same.

• Bitcoin core,
• Electrum.

There has been quite a number of research into sending Bitcoin without the use of the internet over the years. Here's an article which talks about that and use of radio signals in particular - https://news.bitcoin.com/no-internet-no-problem-how-to-send-bitcoin-by-amateur-radio/

This of cause is still a tentative study and without the internet now, Bitcoin transactions would struggle, but it's a convenient alternative to have in an untoward situation.

You're right and I'm aware of this, but if you do not know what you're doing, it could be very easy to get hacked if you're browsing around a malicious web page, so it's better to be safe.

If you are unsure of a link you can include it in code tags, so no user mistakenly clicks on it;

Yes, you can get hacked by clicking on a malicious link or malware.
Some can be used to steal your personal information or to bug your computer. You can also get to a phishing link, which is a copy of an original address.

If you're unsure whether or not a link is safe, then do not click on it, and do not spread it.
