Boom!  Pera na naging bato pa. I guess nararandaman na nilang malapit na silang ma-trace kaya sinubukan na nilang ilipat yung nakaw na BTC. That couple could end up being locked up for up to 20 years. Sheesh! Tibay din ng Feds at na-trace talaga nila yung mga hackers. Actually kaya sila nahuli kasi na backtrace ung funds na sinubukan nilang i-launder. So pag hindi nila ginalaw ung funds, most probably malaya parin sila ngayon. https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/two-arrested-alleged-conspiracy-launder-45-billion-stolen-cryptocurrency |

I've used phantom wallet too and it seems quite easy to use (similar to metamask in how it functions as an extension). I don't know how beginner friendly it is though, most things in crypto are just trial and error and it might be a good place to start since Solana transactions seem very cheap - although so have bitcoin transactions recently.
Funny how Phantom wallet knocks MetaMask out of the water in terms of UI smoothness and functionality that it's not even funny, despite MetaMask having a good amount of years of head start. It seems that MetaMask became too complacent. |

Probably tell us what you're specifically looking for in a wallet instead, so we can give better recommendations?
As far as I know none of those wallets are open-source, and Phantom wallet is solely for Solana.

What I actually talking is about the idea what I mentioned because there will be no one in their right mind with an anonymous ideology who will use a "legal" crypto or bitcoin mixer unless they accept those huge risks you have mentioned.
People use exchanges as sort of legal "mixers". A lot of people hide the traces of their funds through depositing on centralized exchanges(to their exchange deposit address), and withdrawing to other wallets(from the exchange's main hot wallets). Obviously this is not the way to go if you want the authorities to not be able to track you, but people use this method to hide their tracks from normal people trying to stalk them and such. |

Meh, good enough for iPhone users I guess? Even though it seems that it's just a slight convenience factor for Apple Pay users, not necessarily a significant thing when it comes to bitcoin/crypto payments.

Yep! Heard good things about Mastering Bitcoin/Mastering Ethereum as well but didn't include the link because I assume only a minority are interested in the deeper technical stuff. Good recommendation nonetheless. |

There are definitely some people that prefer buying newly minted a.k.a. "clean" coins. But in the end, just like your physical cash, bitcoins would be traded and passed over to dozens and hundreds of hands(addresses) that every single active coin(those that aren't just solely sitting on cold storage) will end up being "tainted" anyway. Hopefully also sped up by mass usage of coinjoins/mixers.

But I'd prefer them to have the pure asset over the long haul.
Please don't force bitcoin down their throats. Go with what they prefer, not what you would. Especially taking note that a lot of employees live paycheck to paycheck, and exposing them to short-mid term volatility would probably not be the right move. |

Open source doesn't automatically make a wallet the most secure, but it means that the code is available for the public to audit and to ensure if the code used to create the wallet is malicious or not
Important point. Most people seem to think that open-source automatically means secure, whereas there will definitely be cases where a closed-source wallet can be more secure than an open-source one, especially when the code base isn't getting any attention from other developers in the first place. (but you still should be using reputable open-source options, of course.) |

As far as I know, not necessarily when solely connecting MetaMask to a platform. In the end it will still mostly depend if you know which wallet transactions you're actually approving yourself.

You are right about the search engine working very slow at times I think we need to let the moderators know about this issue but honestly I'd rather get the exact information that I'm looking for using a slow search engine that any faster one that won't give me what I want.
or just use site:bitcointalk.org *insert search query here* on Google.com, using a browser with the uBlock Origin plugin installed. Not to mention that there are a lot of stuff that you can find on other publishing websites(Medium, etc) and that you can't find on Bitcointalk. |

Totally up to you — the only reason to send the funds straight to an exchange is if you're planning on immediately selling the coins after you receive them. Obviously if you're planning on holding the coins, a non-custodial wallet is the better choice.

So here I am, new to bitcointalk today what and what benefits can a newbie gets from spending their time on this forum?
The "benefits" you can get off this forum is the exact same "benefit" you can get by joining various forums/communities concerning whatever topic — you get to talk to other people about that certain topic. |

What "materials" are you specifically looking for? You need to be more specific.
But if you're looking for listings, probably frequently check Sushi's Miso platform, CoinList, etc.

now I'm making more than 60$ every two weeks from crypto
Ask yourself: how sustainable is your way of making money? If your income source gets rekt if it's the case that we enter a really bad bear market, then you might want to not let go off your traditional job. Especially if you're referring to trading/investing, which doesn't provide any stable cashflows at all. |

In the past, I also was frequently looking for Bitcoin critics as to balance my overbullishness on Bitcoin; and trust me when I say this — the more you dig, the more BS and ad hominem attacks you see thrown at Bitcoin. The only valid criticisms I see a lot are the likes of "bitcoin is hard to use" and the "bitcoin is slow and expensive" criticisms, whereas these can be easily fixed by further innovation.

It will be highly likely that we're going to see a surge in retail at-home miners. Simply because if there's a huge potential for profit, then people will be trying to mine bitcoin regardless of the country they're in. Incentive is the main reason why people mine in the first place; it's not like people will spend millions and millions of money on electricity solely to secure the Bitcoin network.
