While you're pretty much correct, you have to a bit tolerant with the terms used.
In the same way as with the $69k ATH some people have just started reading about Bitcoin and it's CPU mining (!), we can expect people come and consider Bitcoin still in it infancy.

I will translate some joke I've heard:
- *sigh*
- Oh, Martin, why are you crying?
- *sigh*
- What on Earth has happened?
- Aristotle has died!! *sigh*
- Oh, Martin, but Aristotle has died more than 2000 years ago!
- *sigh* yes, it doesn't matter, I've found out only today! *sigh*

You do have a point (nice tutorial!!), but since at least an address is kept at hand (for looking up the balance), that tends to tell the story.
But indeed, the point of also writing down what software one has used (wallet or not!) to generate the seed - if he keeps seed instead of private key - is very useful.

The fact the man (or woman) got some predictions right may or may not mean anything. (Why CIA agent and not professional see-in-stars-and-predict-in-coffee type of person that may travel with the circus?)
And the fact some may be CIA agents is obvious for two reasons:
* on can have a steady job, even at CIA, and still be interested in crypto
* CIA can have "legitimate interest" in keeping an eye on this "movement"

Sorry OP, you managed to say... nothing...

Mda, banuiesc ca cercetatorii si cine mai e pe acolo, nu prea sta pe net 


Multumesc pentru clarificare! (Si eu asa intelesesem, dar am zis ca poate nu si-a facut cafeaua efectul si mai bine intreb..).

I think that you meant "if it's NOT online and has never been"...  


You don't have to rely onto a working product. You have to rely on existing standards.
If you generate a BIP39 seed, that should work also in 20 years. If you save a private key, that should also work in 20 years.

I agree with LoyceV. For long term holding I recommend you generate the wallet in a safe offline environment with no persistence/storage. Write down (onto paper) the seed or private key, write down the address (or, if it's HD wallet then any address), verify thoroughly what you've written down (maybe use a wallet to recover from seed or private key and see if the address obtained is the same), send your coins there, watch your wallet on online block explorer or import the address as watch wallet. As long as your private key or seed never touches anything online, it should be safe/safer.

Even more, I think that most exchange are taking it slow with LN because those huge fees also make users consider keeping their coins in exchanges' custody (I've read a good number of times that people keep their money here and there because their friends also have money on the same platform and sending bitcoins to each other is free. Of course, they don't realize that it's off chain and the implications).

Then, let's be fair: LN is still labeled as "beta". Businesses will hide between this label whenever it suits them.


So, let's see their point of view: on chain, big bucks from fees, people keep their money in custody because of this or use shitcoins and "smart chains" (oh, the irony!) versus spending money into implementing/adopting something new, labeled as beta, which makes all that income and advantages (slowly) disappear.
As long as the number of exchanges actually using LN is small (i.e. the competition), the big ones have no benefit in doing that.

His money was in others' custody for all his life. He doesn't find this ironic. This is what happens for most of the world.
What he's doing... I find it a poor excuse for the fact he's losing his customers' money. And instead of admitting that gold price is going down the toilet, he blames some authorities for the fact he was sloppy and he didn't see this coming when the war has become real.

Ohh, crezusem ca doar de o cafea aveai nevoie 
Ma bucur foarte mult ca esti pe ultima suta de metri (sau, cum a trecut week-end-ul, poate ca deja ai taiat si panglica!) cu renovarea!

Am o nedumerire. Am gasit un concurs nou, dar o sa il postez mai degraba ca intrebare.
Link-ul este aici: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5405097.0;topicseen
Din ceea ce inteleg, este doar pentru sud-americani. Am dreptate? (mi se pare ciudat ca Krogoth participa, crezusem ca e nord-american).

In general toti sunt seriosi cand cer bani. In mod interesnt totusi, acesta pare a fi prima ta postare in romana? Pe cand in ruseste nu te-a durut mana... Nu ca am fi pierdut ceva, pare ca toate sunt niste altcoins de care nu am auzit.
Iar partea cu "returnez investitia + %" nu o mai crede nimeni pe acest forum.

Deci parerea mea este ca bati la poarta gresita....

Learn about Bitcoin price cycles.
Learn about DCA.
Learn to have patience.

If you try do day trading, learn with small amounts, which you do afford to lose. If you try to invest, DCA. If you are unsure what to do, learn util you're sure (just make sure you finish your learning well before next ATH).
I think that you're pretty much fortunate. Crypto winter is imho one of the best times to get into Bitcoin. Whether you invest or not yet, the experience remains.

From what I know, if you double-click the .asc file, Kleoparta will try to import it. But it has to have extension asc, not txt, not asc.txt, .. and the content has to be correct and should be checked with notepad.
I remember that I had error importing an asc not long ago because I've pressed right-click/save as and the saved file was not the expected asc, instead it was a html although the filename was asc. So.. double check before importing!


Even more, if you want all nice and green, as a second step inside Kleopatra you could create a temporary certificate for yourself and (right click) certify the keys you've imported.

I still have to look more times at least, in slow motion, to that crash. I still don't understand what has happened there. I'm incredibly happy that nobody got hurt.
The overall race was mad. I will watch it again. Indeed almost anybody could win. I am happy for Carlos though. He does deserve victories in F1. Impressive run for Checo though. And also for Lewis, I have to admit that.

Sooner or later the countries will diversify their reserve assets. So more gold can drive gold price down, but may also have an indirect effect on Bitcoin (very long term) price too.
Everything counts in large amounts.

I think that the bitcointalk topic on exchange fees worth a mention here. While the first website on your list is better than I first expected, I still like our topic more. See Crypto exchanges comparison [trade fee + listing fee + age + mobile app + more!]

This puzzle was posted before. The first reference I've found on that address here @ bitcointalk is from December 2020, but, indeed, buried in a topic about a completely different (type of) puzzle:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1306983.msg55361483#msg55361483


And usually the fact it's not solved for 1.5 years means that it's too difficult or it has an error.

Imho gold is so expensive because it's being hoarded by the central banks and other institutions. It's not only about the scarcity, it's also about the demand.
So the silver example may not be the best, since, although it's indeed scarce, the demand is also not that good.

While it does look neat, I would not buy it. I don't think that I'd buy a HW that doesn't allow me make an old fashioned non-electronic backup. If that's the only option, I'd simply use cold storage for the relevant funds.

Yep, this is most probably correct.


Indeed, let's see what happens in the next few days. If they still keep the funds, the situation becomes clear.


This is indeed a system that can be abused by the exchanges. Not good.

You do have a point indeed. I'd say that he does the DCA in the same way I do it: buy (periodically) whenever you have some liquidity available.
The thing is that he doesn't always have at hand as much fiat as he'd like. At least that's how I see it.
But you're right. It's not exactly by the book.

In disputa pentru numarul 2 nu ma bag  am si eu pretendenti la numarul favorit, asa ca am decis demult sa nu imi mai bat capul. 


Corect.


Aici nu sunt de acord. Chiar am citit de mai multe ori.
* cred ca sunt 6 poze fiindca monedele sunt fata-verso
* cred este vorba de editia a 2-a de mybits (mybits series 2), mai mult, zice "a loaded mybits series 2 set of three coins" (un set de 3 monede mybits editia 2)
A mai zis "Last number of the hash of the block I choose will be the winner", deci e vb de un castigator.

Cel putin eu asa am citit/inteles.
