You can either exchange to a stablecoin, such as BUSD, USDC or similar, and then store your coins in a wallet. Otherwise, I think you'll be safe even if you store your money as USD in any reputable exchange, such as Binance, Kraken or Bitstamp.

I had 600 Euros stored on Bitstamp for over 2 years, without any activity for that time period, and faced no issues at all.

Can't thank you enough for all your replies, backed up and restored my wallet using the wallet files named "Electrum Data". Also saved the 12 word seed phrase just in case something went wrong, but all went smoothly.

Thanks again!

I certainly wasn't in the right mind to choose what I'd want myself doing for what's supposed to be the rest of my life. A lot of factors played an important role back them, psychological mostly, but also that I hadn't explored myself enough to know what my interests are. I do know better now, but I still haven't decided yet, nor do I know where to look for such an answer.

You can't argue with that, vaccines are effective, even if you get infected as a vaccinated person, chances are, that you'll go through it pretty mildly.

I've been in close contact with a confirmed case, a friend of mine 24 years old, he was unvaccinated and now has quite severe symptoms. I'm vaccinated and didn't get infected, despite being in close contact.

These are quite a lot of activities to fit within a day/week. If you do not mind me asking, how are you earning money from YouTube, though? Do you have an active channel with advertisements set up? If yes, with what is it related? Cryptocurrency, gaming, DIY? I'd subscribe to help another user, if you'd share it.

I've been in close contact with an unvaccinated person who recently got infected with Covid-19, I'm vaccinated and did not get infected. Everyone else in their household, who was unvaccinated, were infected, but I wasn't. Despite the new strains, vaccines are effective, and it's certainly what saved me from infection.

I've also have the same example from another acquaintance of mine, my car mechanic, his whole family was unvaccinated and infected, but he wasn't.

You're approximately 18 years old, having a choice to make, which might (or might not) affect your future for years to come, choosing what and if you want to study. How do you make such a choice? How do you choose what you want to do for the rest of your life (Maybe, maybe not?).

When I was 18 years old, I never really bothered on what I've wanted to do, alongside with a pretty messed up psychology, I wasn't in the best position to choose. I chose Business Administration, which I'm graduating from in a month or two at most, without being sure I wanted that. Now that I'm graduated, I'm not exactly sure if it was the right choice and/or if it's actually appealing to me, as something I'd be willing to do as an occupation for the upcoming years.

You're merely nothing but a student finishing High School, who is basically clueless on what he/she could possibly like, because it's something that might remain unknown for many years, even after finishing university. Seeing that from myself, I've got no clue on what I could possibly do in the future, based on what I studied. Follow a master's degree? Not sure on what subject, try something else? I'm not sure about that either.

I'm pretty intrigued to become a first responder paramedic, but I still haven't made up my mind. Did you go through this process yourselves? How did you deal with it, how is someone supposed to find what he likes at 18 years old, is that educational practice even appropriate?

Most didn't see through Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general, certainly not the first, nor the last ones. This forum is actually helpful in terms of information, knowledge and experiences shared from other users but, if you don't try it yourself, no matter what you read, won't make you much better. Being a successful trader takes time and patience, not many can actually achieve that.

Not sure if you're joking or not.

Couldn't agree more, social media, like Facebook, is filled with misinformation, fake news and conspiracy theories. However, I've noticed that Facebook has been trying to debunk such articles, by informing users beforehand. It certainly plays an important role in tackling such practices.

I believe that this thread belongs to the "Economics" subforum. Anyway, how are you even planning on starting your own business if you're bankrupt? You'll need a decent capital to begin with. On top of that, you haven't even mentioned any of your interests, hobbies, or fields you are expert in. If you were decent with marketing and social media, for instance, you could start your own social media advertising company, which wouldn't require a large investment either.

You need to be more specific in order to receive constructive replies.

I'm not from a Third World country, so I cannot fully relate with what you're saying. What's the minimum wage in dollars, if you don't mind me asking? I've got no clue on how relatable is $65/week ($260 per month), compared to your average salary.

Your campaign is definitely paying a reasonable/decent amount. The campaign I entered now is paying $55/week, which is great, it's approximately 1/4 of an average salary here, which is of great assistance on a monthly basis.

I'm currently seeing the exact opposite of what you are describing. The virus is not contained at all, with cases exploding all over the world. We do have vaccines, and I am vaccinated myself too, but you can get infected too. We definitely have a long way to go.

About OP now, I'm glad you're okay, it's a pretty traumatic and tiring experience, I can imagine, I was also submitted to the Covid-19 ward for 2 days, as a suspected case, in October 2020. No one approaches you or enters the room without wearing fully protective clothing, and you're treated like an alien.

Of course, and the majority of users here are money oriented. This forum has been an absolute blessing in my life, it has helped me so much financially, it has provided me with the right tools and experience to earn. Moreover, signature campaigns allow you to earn while you spend time on the forum learning new opportunities.

This forum is mainly the reason I have money completely separated from my bank accounts.

I'd also like to write a farewell post, I've been here for quite a few months and never had any major issue. I'd like to thank CryptopreneurBrainboss and Lightlord for this opportunity, since this was my second campaign after many years of inactivity.

It's been a great experience, but I decided to move along, take risks and pursue another campaign.

Farewell and I'll see you around the forum.

I'm not really an investor, I got into cryptocurrency in approximately 2013, generating micro amounts of BTC. After signing up here, I joined a bunch of signature campaigns, started Altcoin mining and made a quite decent profit. I held most of the BTC I earned till now, thanks to this move, and a couple of DeFi investments I made, my crypto assets consist approximately 50% of my total capital (Wallets, Bank Accounts etc.).

Thanks to this forum, I have a few thousand dollars set aside for reinvesting or as an emergency fund.

On the one hand, I see where you're coming from, and I understand what exactly you mean. However, most fact-checkers I've used cite their sources at the bottom of the article, enabling you to check the legibility/validity of their claims. Doing your own research can be conducted along with using fact-checkers, to assist you in your investigation.

There have been quite a few instances of TV channels showing videos of older events, or from events that had no correlation with the reported subject. I'm following a national website called Greek Hoaxes. There were quite a few instances, were a specific channel was showing events from other countries, or from several years ago.

If you were violating their TOS, then nothing much can be done, since you acknowledged that you were using the website from a restricted country, you should/could have expected that sometime, you would eventually face the consequences.

I know it sucks to have your account blocked, but it was expected since you already knew about it. However, on the other hand, it would be best if the website didn't even allow you to register.

I think that Bitstamp was the most user-friendly platform I've ever used, especially the graphs were really easy to distinguish. I find Binance though, to be the most cost-effective solution, having extremely low trading fees and an active referral program (I've invited two friends of mine under my name).

Oh, I see, I didn't quite get it from your previous reply, that you meant that I could do it on my very own PC. I'll try it out tomorrow. My laptop is getting quite slow with the HDD and upgrading to an SSD is a must. Having no experience with such wallets (I've only used online ones before), makes me anxious not to mess anything up with the backup process.

It would suck to lose my BTC that way. Thanks again!
