Of course it's luxury, but still, the titanium case will protect the electronics much better than ordinary plastic, although I can't say if it justifies such a high price. For someone who has a lot of money and may be a public figure who deals with cryptocurrencies, a device like this is certainly something that can set him apart from the rest.


A few years ago, there was a case where the T model survived a fire and the extinguishing of that same fire, i.e. it was still working after that. I know of one case when one of these was used as a toy for a dog, and in such a case the metal housing would definitely come into its own.

Those who are only there for profit would not mind if as much BTC was "destroyed" as possible so that their coins would be worth more, but that is the reality we live in. However, I do not see why such sales would have any effect on the price considering that we are in the recovery phase and that the market will absorb these coins very easily.

The world is full of confused people, OP is just one of them who thinks that a few thousand BTC can change something important in a market where hundreds of thousands of BTC are traded every day.

When you read articles from a shitty source, then your conclusions are just as shitty (excuse the expression). As @stompix already wrote, it is not about selling 50K BTC, but only a part of what has seized two years ago. And the fact that they (the US government) sell BTC means that they informally recognize it as something that has value, and you could only worry if they destroyed all the seized BTC and thus showed the middle finger to everyone else.

What you see as a problem is actually a good thing, because the US government promotes Bitcoin by doing so and also puts it back into circulation - and in return it gets what it loves most, its dollars.

I heard that there is a guy who invented Bitcoin and that he has his own forum that you can join and that one day he will appear on that forum and distribute even 1 million BTC to everyone who is not a spammer or shitposter

I had similar problems with SMS verifications, and the problem was on my end. It turned out that I had blocked the prefix of a foreign country because of SMS spam coming from that country, but a legitimate service for SMS messages is also located in that country, so I blocked both good and bad messages. It sounds strange, but such things happen.

Personally, I do not prefer this method of verification, but in some cases it is the only choice and cannot be avoided.

I already wrote to you that you should be able to read between the lines so that some things would be clearer to you. The fact is that the administration decided to take that step for two reasons - the first is to protect themselves as individuals, and the second is to protect the forum from possible closure.

Each individual has always been responsible for his actions on the forum, and it will be so in the future, with the difference that now the forum administration completely separates itself from anyone who promotes mixers. In the event that someone decides to deal uncompromisingly with the mixers and those who advertise them, each individual will pay an individual price, and the forum will not be held responsible.

That's just my thinking though, I don't have any confidential information nor do I know what will happen in the future.

Such a mission with only $10 is not only difficult to do, but in most cases it will be completely unprofitable due to the service/withdrawal fee that most CEX charge. If the OP decides to buy Bitcoin or some alternative, then it would be better for him not to make a separate withdrawal, but to do so after accumulating a slightly larger amount of coins.

Of course, there is always a risk of keeping cryptocurrencies in a custodial wallet, but on the other hand, it is simply completely unprofitable to withdraw such small amounts.

I have had a Nano S for about 5 years and it still works like the first day it was bought, but I can say for myself that I am a person who takes care of my things much more than the average person. Technical problems are always possible, but many malfunctions of electronic devices are the result of incorrect handling, inadequate storage, and sometimes a bad power network that can damage such devices due to sudden and frequent voltage changes and power outages.

You forget that the use of higher quality materials means a higher price, and that many still complain that hardware wallets are too expensive, even though you can buy them for less than $50. Manufacturers have to adapt to what the market is looking for, which is cheaper devices that are therefore made of lower quality materials.

Unfortunately, this quality decreased even more after the material prices skyrocketed, but I think that everything has its price, as well as that every product has its buyer. There is HW that costs as much as $2000, and it seems to be sold out.

We already told you not to call us "crypto bros.", but you are obviously illiterate to the extent that you cannot read several comments in the thread you open.




Criminals still prefer fiat, because not only is it safer for them, but because Bitcoin is not as anonymous as you think. If all relevant research shows that Bitcoin is used by 1-2% of people in the world, where do you see a problem in that? In addition, every bill you have in your wallet may have been in the hands of a drug smuggler, a weapon smuggler, or maybe it was used to pay for a murder - so if you want to solve the world's problems, you should start from the top, not the bottom.

Italy has joined some not so popular countries that have already banned ChatGPT ->


But at the same time, the Google version of the chat bot is still available, because it seems that the only problem is that GPT is available to everyone regardless of age.


However, somehow it seems to me that the ban is only temporary, because the Italian data protection agency has given ChatGPT 20 days to try to solve it, otherwise a fine will follow.

In addition to the already mentioned wallets, another mobile wallet that has TOR is Samourai. That wallet has some other features that can further contribute to privacy. However, it should be emphasized that TOR is not something that provides absolute privacy, because if a real player (three letters agency) targets you, it will not help you remain anonymous either.

One missing word from the seed is not too much of a problem, I think that finding even three words is feasible with today's technology in some reasonable time. As time goes on computers will become more and more powerful and some who have really messed up with their backup hope to be able to discover their treasure chest.

Of course, a lot of bad things can be avoided if we take some basic precautions, and one of the basic ones is to understand that only one backup represents a big risk, but even 2 or 3 in the same location in some cases will not help if it is about ordinary paper.

This is why you have a backup that consists of 12 or 24 words, which, if stored correctly, ensures that you can perform a wallet recovery at any time in the future. Of course, everyone would like HW to last as long as possible, but buy any electronic device and there is a high probability that it will break within 5 years or even earlier. In the past, such devices were made to last, today they are made so that their duration is limited, and all in order to buy a new device as soon as possible.

Maybe you should have asked the AI what is the appropriate way to do it?

Maybe now I should ask the AI what it thinks about people asking it such questions - but I prefer to communicate with people, and I'm not at all interested in AI-generated messages...

Of course, this is always an option that Satoshi was probably counting on, otherwise the whole project would have failed long before it started. The whole thing should have passed under the radar of the big players, all with the aim of getting as many ordinary people as possible to get involved and support Bitcoin on a personal level. I would say that the mission was successful, because until the big bull run of 2017 there was no interest of big players and companies in Bitcoin, of course with some exceptions such as Tim Draper or the Winklevoss twins.

What kind of risk are you talking about? In 2010, you could mine Bitcoin with a personal computer and the reward per block was 50 BTC. There wasn't any risk, it's just that most people didn't know about Bitcoin, or thought it was just one of a series of internet scams.

I already wrote my message in WO -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.msg62008873#msg62008873

I'm just interested in whether it's legal to make such projections on private or state buildings and whether those who do it can have problems because of it?

Don't be surprised that AI replaces people, because for most employers, people are just numbers, and besides, they go on annual vacations, sick leave, maternity leave, and constantly complain about their low wages. AI solves all these "problems" and, as they say, increases efficiency, and those at the top will profit more than before - for them, in any case, it's a win-win situation.

After all, how can you compete with something that can do your whole day's work in just a few minutes?

Maybe it's all just made up, or he even lost all that money, but someone paid him to make a good advertisement for a certain casino. Be that as it may, nobody should be surprised that the rich squander their money like that, because they have enough of it to make a fire with it and keep warm that way every day of the year. It seems that the only things that make such rich people happy are that they show off their wealth in various ways, even if it means filming themselves losing money that some don't earn in their entire lives.

Yes, it seems that was his idea, but we still have the problem that most people have a negative attitude towards Bitcoin because it is the attitude of their government. With some exceptions like El Salvador, it is not realistic to expect the government of some economically stable and rich country to suggest its residents to start using Bitcoin. It is enough to read what the SEC, the Bank of England or the European Central Bank think about Bitcoin to understand that such a concept is simply unacceptable to them.

Honestly, I really don't care who will and who won't vote for her, because she is totally irrelevant and it's a real shame that we give such people any exposure on this forum. If Bitcoin could survive without China, I'm sure it can survive without Massachusetts and a few other federal states.

Is the possession or purchase of firearms prohibited in the Massachusetts? As far as I managed to find online, it is allowed for everyone over the age of 15 who has a license -> https://www.mass.gov/info-details/gun-ownership-in-massachusetts

Furthermore, do you think it's normal that kids can own firearms without any problems and then go around killing people? I think that something is very, very poorly regulated in a country that has at least one mass murder every day...
