Not sure if Bitcoin was a good investment in the pandemic, however, I had plenty of time through this whole situation which was favorable with cryptocurrency in general. It was definitely a decent opportunity to take advantage of the extra time and out it towards Digital currencies in general, not just Bitcoin.
I conducted several investments throughout the pandemic, but it doesn't necessarily have to confine Bitcoin only.

I'm pretty clueless on how to continue from there, as I haven't decided what I like or can see myself doing in the future. wait , did you personally chose the course or your only forced by your parents ? because there are doubts in your sentence . i think whats next after your finish a study is you apply for a job related on the course you get . thats how you gonna see yourself but if your not happy with that , you can get the course that you saw . if i have a time and money i will also take crypto or blockchain course more than the usual courses because they are more interesting . That's quite a long story. When I chose my BSC degree, I wasn't sure of what I wanted to do/study, thus, I went with it without too much thought. It's a combination of poor choices and mental health complications. I dunno why but for me, I dont choose any major just for a future career because I found my self always get job in another field which is different with my background major. So, if you choose the major for master degree I just suggest one thing. You have to know well ur self, what do you want to learn more spesific or what thing make you interested then you choose it. Dont think that how about career or another things, thats just a side effect which always change.
Well, the issue is that I'm not inclined towards something particular, I still haven't made up my mind on what I really want to do in the future, choosing a master's might also be a mistake, if I don't find what I really want to do. |

I'm now graduating from a BSC in Business Administration, and as I've mentioned in another thread ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5355827.0), I'm pretty clueless on how to continue from there, as I haven't decided what I like or can see myself doing in the future. I've stumbled upon a Master’s Degree, in Blockchain and Digital Currency. The knowledge you can get from those expensive university degrees, you can also get from a varity of online course which mostly are also offered by notably universities for a part of the money. Just look at MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses) sites like coursera.org, edx.org or udacity.com. They all offer courses and certificates in the blockchain space. Some are even free. That's definitely true, I've used sites like Coursera and Edx.org before, however, the free version only provides you with the course's content. If you're willing to pursue a verified certification/degree, you'll have to pay an additional amount of money to receive it. Yes, you'll have all the contents of the course for free, but you'll be unable to display its completion on your CV. They are a great learning tool, though, I've enjoyed every course I've enrolled into. |

When people talks about diversity in crypto space they only point at big projects and small projects combined but no one ever talk about their life savings, I've seen people putting all they have into crypto and yes they have more than 5 coins in their portfolio but is this the smartest move?
Personally I think the smartest move is to have some funds offline as well, if you know what diversity means then you should be smart enough bro know that nothing is guaranteed, have some money 💰💰 offline and some online (crypto and other), putting all your eggs in one basket is bad and too much of everything is also bad
My cryptocurrency savings are completely separate from the money I'm using on a daily basis. I recently acknowledged what you're saying, except the diversification of portfolio. Funds should also be allocated in different sources/wallets. I had all my funds from DeFi (Expect Bitcoin of course) in one wallet/account on Metamask, my account was compromised and risked losing everything. Taught me a lesson, I'm now trying to allocate my assets within 2-3 wallets. |

Did you create a fresh account with a new mnemonic phrase, or you are using the same account but just a fresh address with the old mnemonic phrase?
If it's the latter, then your assets might not be safe in case the person has the mnemonic phrase. It means that all the addresses you will create under the account are compromised.
I've simply created a new account, it has a new address and private key, but is under the same mnemonic phrase. They have the private key, but not the mnemonic phrase. Can that be extracted somehow? Am I currently safe? I don't know how I dun goofed so badly. I'll definitely get into details when this is all over. Under the same mnemonic am sure whoever got hold of the keys can still access it because in metamask you can create more than one account with same keys, why not just quickly create a fresh account with new keys and push the coins while you still can, probably the person don't understand how mm works very well reason why your coins still intact. It was never mentioned that the mnemonic phrase was the one that got compromised, they only got the private key, which is assigned to only one wallet/account. I've created a new account within the same wallet, which has an entirely different private key and address. There's no way he can find the 12 word seed phrase through it. |

The world is crazy about crypto, if these courses are useful and in high demand, surely in the next twenty years, job opportunities will be extremely bright for those who pursue these fields.
If they have burning programs it would be better because the tuition fees of these majors are quite expensive. At least for now, when the pandemic is happening, the advantage of homeschooling is saving a lot of living costs. If possible, I look forward to online training.
Blockchain is a wonderful technology and Digital Currencies are an innovation to the modern world. However, I can't really understand where I could combine my Economics Degree with this Master's. I definitely cannot predict how such technologies are going to evolve, thus, it's highly doubtful to guess how I could possibly pursue a career in that field. |

Sometimes people do say the world be a better place without religion. Because how people take religion too serious , so if you are not of the same religion which they belong they have nothing to do you. Would the world be a better place without religion? Has region not play any role in our society.
I'm against religions and also an Atheist myself. They were formed in order to explain basic common knowledge, which could be proved using science. Stephen Hawking had said, that there's no way to prove that God doesn't exist, however, science makes believing in God pointless. In my opinion, religions sparked a lot of hatred between nations (Or other religions) and were the main cause of war. (See Jihad, as a modern example, or Crusades) The world would definitely be a better place without them. |

Hello,
I need immediate assistance, I did a stupid and now someone probably has my private key on Metamask, I created a new account and moved all my assets there. Am I safe or not? I noticed that the second account has a different private key. I literally have no time to explain right now.
You would be fucked up if the seedphrase of that wallet is been exposed since all of the addresses inside of that wallet would really be accesses once they do have the phrase but if you do only expose the privatekey or the ones you had extracted on metamask for specific address then only those assets inside of that address would really be only hacked not the entire batches of address inside that metamask. I was lucky that I wasn't dumb enough to give out my mnemonic phrase. I really don't understand how I fell for such a scam. At least, I instantly moved all my funds and didn't lose a penny. The next day, the administrator of that Discord informed me that there were reports from quite a few people who got scammed, the largest of all was $68k! Just like on what carlfebz2 was indeed on point and true on where as long you dont give out your phrase then other addresses would be safe.Good for you that you didnt give out the phrase or else all of those assets will really be wiped out instantly.This do actually proves out that no matter how experienced you are there are still situations on where we do really get confused or there are situations where we know but still got slipped and skipped which cause for some exposure of our precious keys.Be careful on next time because you wouldnt know on what comes next but at least this is really a lesson learn. Fortunately, I didn't have the mnemonic seed in hand, I'm not sure if I'd given it if I had immediate access to it. In the future, I'll definitely create a completely fresh wallet, I don't want to get any balance on the compromised wallet by mistake. I'm not experienced by any means, definitely not a newbie, I've received quite a few messages on Discord but always ignored them, I don't know why and how I fell for that. I was lucky that I wasn't dumb enough to give out my mnemonic phrase. I really don't understand how I fell for such a scam. At least, I instantly moved all my funds and didn't lose a penny.

This is common in most discord groups. If somebody is asking related to wallets and other stuff, some strangers will randomly message you and will tell that they're the support of that group. Never ever entertain any of them next time. It did look fishy, I'm still trying to figure out why I fell into such a scam. The funny thing is that after reaching the official WalletConnect group, I was messaged by another scammer who was trying to give me directions into "encrypting" my new wallet. What a petty scam attempt. Never trust anyone on there. |

I put my private key there, because it wouldn't automatically "authorize". What a dumbass I am. Fortunately, my gut instinct kicked in and the very next second I did that stupid move, I moved all my funds to another wallet.
Be safe, do not trust anyone and never input any confidential information EVER!
You have to edit that link to unclickable to avoid another user access it https://multibridge-dapps.com/ that could be a lesson for you and everyone to recheck and always learning in the next time. the website was created 14 days ago which purposes for the scam. IP: 198.187.31.167 Domain Name: MULTIBRIDGE-DAPPS.COM Registry Domain ID: 2633753046_DOMAIN_COM-VRSN Registrar WHOIS Server: whois.namecheap.com Registrar URL: http://www.namecheap.comUpdated Date: 2021-08-14T17:47:29Z Creation Date: 2021-08-14T17:33:13Z the scammer usually uses the same server and IP address to create another one.

www.coinlitefx.com
https://www.coin-star.net/ ...etc the scammer creates another way when failed on the first step, just to look at what they create, token, exchange, cloud mining and etc. Alright, changed it. It was definitely a lesson learned, I'm not responding to any messages I receive from unknown people nor am I going to give out such information ever again. I was one of the lucky ones, that at least immediately realized what a stupid thing I've done. |

Did you create a fresh wallet with a different seed just like what Bitcoin_Arena said? Your funds may not have been stolen but I would also suggest to dump that wallet with a compromised private key. ...
I don't understand how I fell for such a scam, I feel like an idiot. There are other people with years of experience in crypto who became victim of the same modus. Be extra careful and don't open crypto when you're drunk or tired. I'll make another thread (In Reputation or Scam accusations, not sure) to warn other users and to share my experience. I'm not stopping you but I think I've seen a lot of threads sharing the same kind of scam. Thanks. Found the WalletConnect main thread and posted there, no need to make several threads for the same topic. Can that be extracted somehow? Am I currently safe?
All your private keys can be derived from your seed phrase, but it's not possible to derive the seed phrase from the private key. If one of your private keys has been compromised, other private keys are safe. I read your previous posts in this thread, but I didn't get whether you have generated a new wallet or not. As already suggested by others, create a new wallet with a new seed phrase, move all your fund to that and don't use the old wallet anymore. In this way, you will be sure that you will never use the address corresponding to the compromised private key. I've generated a new account/wallet on Metamask, it has the same seed phrase as the compromised one. However, it has a new address and private key of course. Since he doesn't have the seed phrase, there's nothing they can do to compromise my new wallet. |

I don't get how I fell for such a scam, when there's even a thread about it right here. (I was just informed by another user about this thread). I don't get why I didn't look it up earlier before conducting such a stupid move. Anyway, do not trust anyone on Discord, and keep in mind that project officials/admins will NEVER DM you. This was a lesson for me, I almost lost all the money I was talking about in my Bitcointalk appreciation thread ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5356169). It would suck big time if now I made a thread "How I lost all my money". The website I'm referring to is the following: Website: https://multibridge-dapps.com/

I hate wall of block but to tell you i read every inch of words you wrote and honestly this is a good story. Everyone have their own and yours is quite interesting. Investing is something we cant just do just like that and with ounce of courage we could earn a lot from it. Yes there are risky way but when we encounteres something we failed then thats the part where we get matured and learn from it. Thumbs up OP.
Thank you for your kind words, I tried to arrange my text and make the story as interesting and appealing as possible. This is an appreciation thread for what I've learned through the forum, it has really made a huge impact, words cannot describe it. Knowledge is power indeed! You have come a long way and showed that desire through your story and this should be inspirational for those that have read this but of course let's not treat the forum more like a cash cow,this is place to learn and share ideas and we grow the community together.
Btw you talking about faucets just brought back some old memories and I myself was so addicted to them it was one of the easiest ways to gain crypto at the time, men time moves so fast....
Those faucets, I wish there was a way to know how much they would be worth now. Thanks to them, I was introduced to Bitcoin and this forum, despite not having most of these funds, it was a great experience nonetheless. A good lesson so far for me as well. Seems somehow you have been getting benefits from the forum by learning. Sadly before introducing myself to the forum, I lost a lot which is unrecoverable. Same as you, once I joined the forum and start learning about cryptocurrency then somehow I am getting benefits from here. Gain some trading skills, manage a couple of campaigns, and by doing the signature campaign. I have to admit I have earned a decent amount of Bitcoin from the forum although it's not life-changing but quite helpful.
I believe your story will motive others for learning about cryptocurrency. We always should keep in mind, the forum isn't any marketplace from where you can earn, but by learning from here we can earn definitely. Should learn and apply in life.
This website is the absolute tool to gain knowledge, experience, which may lead into an earning opportunity. There's a lot of knowledge around here and has even inspired me to delve deeply into Digital Currency and Blockchain. |

I've simply created a new account, it has a new address and private key, but is under the same mnemonic phrase. They have the private key, but not the mnemonic phrase. Can that be extracted somehow? Am I currently safe?
You are safe according to: ~
There is no way to use any of the private keys to generate the master key or mnemonic. But the mnemonic can be used to regenerate the master key, chain code and any of the private or public keys.
~ My concern is how should you be aware of and remembers that particular address and privkey is already exposed(and shouldn't be used again) in cases you restoring the mnemonic phrase in the future. Because of that, I think it's either you move all your fund to a brand new mnemonic or try just to make a note or something to notify the particular privkey is exposed. Thank you, I was in such a panic that I didn't even look in which subforum I created this thread. I just woke up, my funds are still here, so I also guess that my second account is safe enough. For the time being, I will at least be cautious not to confuse the two wallets, it would suck to mistakenly receive money on my compromised account. I don't understand how I fell for such a scam, I feel like an idiot. I was lucky enough that even when it was a little late, I trusted my gut feeling. I'll make another thread (In Reputation or Scam accusations, not sure) to warn other users and to share my experience. |

I don't know how I dun goofed so badly. I'll definitely get into details when this is all over.
How sure are you that they just have only your private Key and not the mnemonic phrase? If I were you, I would just create a new account with a new mnemonic phrase and move all my assets there. Do you have any idea how your account got compromised? You might wanna check your device for any malicious apps too. I'm sorry, I was in such panic that I didn't even bother to explain what happened, I will briefly explain. I was on WaultFinance's discord server, when some guy posing as an administrator contacted me, after I made a specific question. At first, I thought he was a real one. Long story short, I'm on a copy cat website trying to "connect" my wallet. He convinced me and I inserted my private key, because automatic authorization wasn't working. What a dumb@ss I am. The next second I did that, my heart sunk, realizing what I've just done. I promptly created a new Metamask account, unstaked and moved all my coins and balances there. That's why I mentioned that they only have my private key, the mnemonic phrase is safe. Fortunately, I wasn't that dumb to give that out too. |

but their support should have helped, this is outrageous.
Well, their support already helped as @OP stated, they might be just not being helpful because this particular case is bound to the agreements that the user agreed, which they can't do anything about it.
Exactly what im trying to say. Why Would they keep my coins?
The only thing I can assume is: They have a target of minimum profit/overhead cost that they are required to operate per each user. So in the first place, that is why they set up the minimum deposit requirement. Therefore, speaking about your cases, because of the current situation, your amount is low enough that they might be didn't simply care enough about it since solving the cases would outweigh the cost instead of the benefit (time = money). Also, maybe they didn't have any automated process to solve these particular cases. Developing it would also require some cost and time to develop it. I fully understand that, there's a chance that the customer support is actually unable to do anything in that case, meaning they have no physical access/permission to conduct such a move. Anyway, it seems like there's not much OP can do, if no other solution is found, then I'm really sorry for your loss. |

List out few factors while choosing your degree and setting up a career for yourself in the future. Your entire life will depend on the degree and where you work. Obviously crypto world is emerging one and has good potential but this needs to be studied pretty well in advance before you can enrol into a course.
Please consider,
1. Your location
2. Does the country has future in blockchain.
3. Your interest in the field of blockchain.
4. Where do you see yourself in next five years after your masters.
5. Scope of your degree in few more locations.
Always remember, what you will study today will decide your life, future, income, interest etc.
I'm not sure if you've read some other threads I've created, which are career/study related, I'm pretty much in a dilemma on what to do after I fully graduate from my BSC degree in Business Administration. There are a lot of Master's degrees out there, some of which look interesting, but I'm having a hard time predicting on how they could help me in career prospects later on. For instance, I also looked into accounting and finances, which have promising career prospects, however, I'm not sure if I find it as something that I could see myself doing and being pleased by it. Due to Covid-19, more and more universities are offering online degrees, so location isn't necessarily an issue anymore. |

It is their requirement and discretion to have a minimum deposit and withdrawal. There is nothing we can do with that if they're requiring us with their minimum deposit. There's the recent update that they've made, I think that included that minimum deposit. https://www.huobi.com/support/en-us/detail/24884454798546But my next deposit should have been added to the previous deposit.. Even if there is a minimum deposit. Now it means i dashed them my coins. Cumulative deposits to add up the lower amount of minimum deposit only works on USDT, at least that is what is stated on their page ( https://www.huobi.com/support/en-us/detail/360000105782). ~snip the most sensible and logical thing would be to manually add the coins to his account. I mean, they already possess them, why would they keep hold of them like that?
Technically, it also won't be exhaustive and resource extensive to automatically added up the balance, just like what they did to USDT on the link above. Although exchanges did it in a cheeky way, the sole responsibility relies on the user since they agreed to TOS/user agreements. Since it's on their TOS, not much can be done if they are not willing to. Despite their TOS, it's a completely shady practice to just keep OP's coins like that. Okay, I get it that there's a minimum deposit, so since your deposit is lower than that, they won't be automatically credited to your account, but their support should have helped, this is outrageous. |
