Best to keep all your backups offline on a steel sheet/s, unless you absolutely 100% know what you're doing with creating airgapped devices. Because if you're just going to turn off the internet in your personal computer and copy the keys to an external hard drive, you're putting your funds at risk.

Not sure if it's a great idea to make conclusions based on that. 1. We didn't have a huge blow-off top like what we had the last 2 cycles 2. Something something past performance does not guarantee future results 3. We're in uncharted territory when it comes to markets in general ^Definitely not saying that we haven't topped though, because it's definitely possible that we already did. We just don't really know for sure. 🤷♂️ |

So the rumours are real? I heard buying a hardware wallet from eBay is risky even if it's brand new, scammers might have laid some malware intact in the new wallet waiting for you to make first deposits, I think crypto needs a new solution for more tighten secured way to use wallets to store assets.
Even if we still don't have a single instance concerning sales of fake/altered hardware wallets, seriously, it's not worth it. Imagine buying from eBay just for convenience or just to save a couple of dollars. Let's not forget that even if you only invested a minuscule amount, it could be worth a fortune after a good number of years. And you're going to risk all that just to save a few dollars? |

I think MS has proven that they are making these bitcoin purchases with the intent to hold. MS has not sold any bitcoin since their initial accumulation.
So to put their company name and 'rug pull' in the same post isn't really backed by anything.
Not to mention that we should probably stop using the 'rug pull' term for literally almost everything. Price drops? Rug! Development delay? Rug! An exploit happened? Rug! Like what the hell lol. |

I usually am quite skeptical of people making such claims, but this is one of those few instances that I'm actually convinced. Dude's a full-on nerd that just plays League of Legends and Dungeons and Dragons for enjoyment; not the typical rich a-hole that spends a lot of money on blackjack and hookers.

Think about it. Would it make sense for them to want the price to drop, literally just after pouring 200 million dollars? Wouldn't it make more sense for them to want the price to drop before their purchase?
Something something correlation is not causation.

Given my experience (Ledger leaked data) last time I ordered hardware wallet directly from the source, I think that I will avoid doing that again. But as you said, eBay and similar platforms are much worse.
Surely sucks big time, but quick reminder that such a leak would be possible on Trezor or any crypto platform(that has your info) in general. I think probably the right move is to use P.O. boxes and/or forwarding services. |

On the other hand, if we look at Bershire Hataway's website, for example, we see an example of a company with a crappy website, which does not prevent it from succeeding. https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/To be fair, there's a big difference between a forum that's being used by a lot of people(masses), versus a static website that only has articles and filings that's only being used by actual investors(not crypto/WSB gamblers) and institutional people. |

You pretty much have 2 choices.
1. Only invest the right amounts whereas you wouldn't be forced to sell(hence get taxed) if it's the case you end up needing money. Pretty much always have enough cash ready for your needs and for accidents and such.
2. You move countries.

I long for the day that people here would finally stop taking these people's predictions too seriously. People trying to predict movements have been tremendously wrong 9 out of 10 times.

I'd immediately convert my LTC to BTC regardless if it makes sense TA wise. Why? LTC is totally unnecessary, beside LTC being some sort of lab rat for future potential BTC upgrades. We literally don't need a second proof-of-work decentralized money/SoV; especially knowing that it's just a fork.

I understand that this is a screenshot of an edited post. But give me an answer, if you type Satoshi in Google, why does this guy's picture show? What is the science behind this  ? We know that Satoshi Nakamoto is a disguised man  . 1. Because Dorian Nakamoto(the dude in the screenshot) has been one of the biggest rumours in the past concerning Satoshi's real identity. 2. Because there's no real face of Satoshi to show in the first place, so Google's algorithm scrapes for the 2nd with the highest user attention. (Google's algorithm doesn't have a 100% hit rate and gets stuff wrong from time to time) |

It's for organization and neatness purposes. Mostly being used for service threads and the like, the first(main) post is the main description of the service, then the second(reserved) post is used for announcements, changelogs, lists and such.

Ya'll people in the responses are probably over-analyzing the "virus" analogy.
This probably started from Anthony Pompliano who frequently Tweets(before the pandemic) "The virus is spreading" after every bullish news concerning Bitcoin. I'm pretty sure "virus" is being used due to how fast Bitcoin spreads, but definitely not necessarily due to it being a sort of bad thing — because obviously it's a positive thing.

Thanks for your feedback, I wanted to hear something like this but a lot of youtubers are talking about it now, it seems to me a bit true. Did you have any research to find out that it is April Fools? If you know, please give me the resource link. I really want to know the truth, I don't want to keep any confusion, if the fact of BTCs is true then I will work on it.
Mate you're the one here that mentioned the rumour that has a 100% chance to be false. You mention the resource lol. And why do you even get your "research" from YouTube anyway? It's 2022. |

Depending on what timezone you're in, you probably read a April Fools prank post/article yesterday(or 2 days ago).

I'd be nervous as heck because almost whatever Satoshi says if ever he/she/they come/s back can be used in a negative light by mainstream media.
In the end, Satoshi shouldn't and wouldn't come back, which is good.

Who will be the one teaching, and how competitive is he/she actually is with trading?
Which specific set of online resources will the person focus on?
You can't really answer this with one or the other.

LOL it's been a habit of mine for at least once a year to check all of my saved backup phrases of my old wallets just to see if I for some reason received some bitcoin from an old failed business/blog/service that I've ran in the past. 4 out of 5 times I end up with nothing but whatever it only takes like 10 minutes or so.
..though it's quite a bummer to see transactions from stupid purchases I've made in the past lmao.
