The Trezor PIN is more like security for only the hardware so you will have to use further security method which is the passphrase.

So if you've got a passphrase the next security tips is for you to protect yourself from physical attack and protect your passphrase like your life depends on it because if slightly exposed your whole assets is at a very big risk.

Why this passphrase is so important is that it's required for a transaction to be carried out if your Trezor hardware is stolen or it's compromised the theft will have to need your passphrase to initiate a TX.

I think I will have to spam this post a little by repeating what others have said "Be patient".

If I most say mate your so lucky to have accumulated enough merit that is required to for your next rank and at this point we that are low in merits are supposed to be worried and not you that has made it to the top already. just a joke; is there anything special that is time limited in this forum that your are anticipating that you're in a haste get the senior member rank? lol
I guess it's just for rank up sake so waiting for a few days isn't a big deal brother.

The truth is it's not actually gambling that causes the bad behaviors of people but it's a habit that's inbuilt in them that has not been resolved before venturing into gambling. since this bad behaviors of hitting people are home is rooted in them getting the emotions that loses incurred in them might have provoked the anger in them leading to domestic violence.

What I'm saying in essence is that one's bad behaviors shouldn't be blamed on gambling because same way people who do not gamble creates domestic violence in every home same way gamblers do too the only difference is one gambles and the other does not.

And the only way to cop with this bad behaviors plus gambling addiction is to change ones mind set first before change every other characteristics.

Smartvirus just nailed it, every big (successful) business that is based or has its part in the US has a secret alliance with the government whether we like it or not this few autocrats is manipulating almost every part of our lives, privacy is not longer privacy. It's only private to us the individuals but to the government they have access to our activities daily. Now that Apple has this flaws I bet only few will take notes of it because this product has now gotten a monopoly in the industry that competitors aren't match with.

I'm beginning to see reason with this statement "No where is 100% safe" like wtf is really going on. do they want to own humanity? I guess if it was possible they would have done that to remain in control.

The truth is sometimes we need good explanations or evidence to believe in something, yeah most of us here most have heard of Bitcoin but because we weren't exposed to it much we could be part of it since the origin.
As comparing the internet with Bitcoin (cryptocurrency) including shitcoins it's about enlightenment, the more time passes by the more evidence are shown then it becomes very clear of how important it wouldn't be even the creator of internet wasn't aware of how big his creation would be for decades so the forecast of internet failing was from so biased experiences not experimented. one thing is every one of us got the right to speak some openly abuse this rights by saying whatever the gods put in thee heads.

We are begining to experience most of the predictions of the future so Bitcoin and the internet works together, and in few years (over a decade) people will become so into internet and Bitcoin because they might get it more clear by then mind you there are still billions of people under autocratic leadership so they may not know about Bitcoin till their autocrats introduce it to them including the interior villages.

For sure some few people are in control of what is happening in the Bitcoin market right now. this people might be an organization not just individuals. Even with their manipulation it's certain that most of the people who truly understand the concept of shadow parties will follow the follow and accumulate more than sell. Even if they try all the strategies in the world to keep people in one strata (social level) we will surely resist the evil gradually.
At the end it's good to remind us that instead of sell as they try to manipulate the market we should buy more inorder to be amongst the people who will reap the fruit of Satoshi Nakamoto.

When I see talks about Nigeria economy I just get pissed and tired at the same time. like why are they doing this to us? I see people agitating on social medias tell the truth, I see people with good intentions everywhere but what the hell is wrong why is it not working?. I know the answer and most of us knows this answer but we can't help it. if only one person can stand for use the rest of us will back it up and say no to this manner of stupidity in our country.

To summarize everything Nigeria is operating under external forces, countries like France, China, South Korea, United States of America, British government etc are the problem not only Nigeria is facing but Africa as whole. We are not allow to agitate for our rights, if we do we die. check almost all the coup d'etat that happen in Nigeria was sponsored by the US for raising allegations on them. even barrack Obama told Jonathan to his face that they are coming for him if he doesn't leave the sit for the next ruler which is Buhari a that has negotiation with them. OH our great country that fights for other African countries is now borrowing from other countries.

I would have love to go forward with Nigeria and it's cost of inflation but I can finish up everything here. everybody should do what is within there power still going towards achieve a healthy economy and one day it will all be over but don't expect the price to fall back to it's normal yet because they are still in power. N 1500 to N 1600 might be hit soon.

For Bitcoin at least we have it as a currency that is backed by humanity (the masses) the more people run there own nodes the more we have control over our money.

The increase in dollar rate here in Nigeria does not really affect Bitcoin directly but affects Nigerian's who would have bought Bitcoin in higher quantity but because of the rate it will reduce the rate of adoption in some sense but increase it from other perspectives.

I'm left with a little to say because Charles Tim and Ever Young has short down everywhere with what I would have love to say to you.

Anybody that closes his or her shop complaining about the economy is absolutely dreaming, infact I see the story not to be the core reason for shorting down any business. you dey whyne? you no know say na situation like this wey most business men and women dey find? the higher the goods in the market the higher the rise the price. The only people that gets hurt is the consumer not the retailer abi you no do economics for basic knowledge? you supposed know this one na. just kidding.. lol

See no matter the economy the country businesses can never short down is either for personal reasons that the shops closed.

For people adopting Bitcoin it's more like the way forward that's why you see people talk about investing in Bitcoin because it's going to yield profits in dollars and as the rate is that's more like the only way to keep going by eating in dollars.

Let's say he (Op) is among the set of people who claims they really wants to learn whereas they are never interested in learning. In their subconscious state of mind they rejected corrections to them they have accepted it but their ego refuses them to let go of their wrongs.
The screaming is just a way of calling attention off what they did so that it's seems obvious that they know what they are saying. deep down they must have learnt from your correction but never accepts it in an open place inorder to get a stupid reputation.

I have created a thread some months ago in the B&H board trying to let newbies know about quoting wrongly in order to claim (knowledge) wise but most of them turn the advise down because maybe I'm a kid or a newbie too and they are mostly graduates in some courses but ignorant in other areas of life.

For people like you pmalek you tried your best to keep people in the right track but if they don't listen it's left for them you have done your part.

Hi welcome to Bitcointalk!

Well for anonymity if you have to choose or go for privacy Electrum Wallet is the best you can get but it's not an exchange.

For Exchange you can go for a Non KYC exchange as you specifically want anonymity or privacy you can use any of the non kyc exchange.

For websites that requires Bitcoin as payment there  are lots of them out there but it depends on what you want to purchase from those sites.

Edit: Privacy and other aspect of cryptocurrency doesn't go together you have to choose whether to go for privacy or Easy to carry out wallets.

Privacy may not be easy (fast as possible to carry out) but it's secured but easy to carry out wallets may not be secured as privacy oriented wallets

I have told OP countless of times about his posting styles that are always off topics, that it's not making much sense to be writing things that are meant to be posted in your social media handles that will be seen as likely a mere post than post it here in the forum.

Although we are mates or the same level he (op) would likely not listen to my advise. Clearly he has no prove of insults or bullying but from some comments in his post he most have experienced some kind of aggressive advises that sounds hash but only in his perspective while the reasons for such response is because he reluctantly refused to change his posting styles or area of posting but its all to point him to the right direction but he doesn't see it that way.

One thing I always advise my fellow newbies is before posting or publishing any content in the forum you most first consider the core purpose of the forum which is Bitcoin discussion and then before you can diversify your content but let it not leave without a true purpose of the forum by doing that you tend to create more interesting contents than off topics.

Funke grow a thicker skin! Focus more on Bitcoin related stuffs and learn. Use this link https://learnmeabitcoin.com/ and learn more about Bitcoin so you can change your posting styles, it's all for your good mate don't take things personal. Life is too short to argue some kind of shit!

The answer is very simple, No. Not all Altcoins are dead. But as of when this thread was created in the year 2022 a lot of shitcoins went missing, according to analysis over 51-56% of coins that where created in 2022 died along the way some got to there ATH and drop over 96% in price and never got back to it's ATH now the has been lot of Altcoins especially memecoins coming to the space again as a new trend, some people are going to take but for someone like me that has witness a different tokens crash to the floor I wouldn't give a dime to an pump and dump project claim unrealistic promises what we call (a too good to be true) promise that will never see it's way to reality.

One advise to people that will pick some interest in this coins is sale them as fast as possible because there are never going to perform well after it's launch (not all though) but you rarely see good one that will last.

I meant no harm dude... You know not everyone is native, so isn't much understand by those who aren't English natives. You should consider that sometimes speaking from empathetically based on few non English bitcoiners who couldn't understand my writings sometimes ago. I felt they might be doing so now!

Well you're correct! My dad always told me, son be 1hr early than a minute late. Fun fact; in my home we got a big clock that is always an hour fast, so we are always an hour faster than the rest of the people in my neighborhood   if they wake 5am in the morning, we wake same 5am but an hour fast which is 4am so I learnt to do things as early as possible. And I sure im applying that in my investment life.

Thank goodness I'm still very young (a kid) and I'm learn this at a young age so I guess I will be making a better choice and never put my self in such box.

Well, this is more like the commonest knowledge everyone that is in this forum must have acquired as long as they are active. if you have took you time to read the newbies read before posting thread or any of those pinned threads there is always a link to where you will read the basics of crypto space security wise advises and those two you mentioned about a the very commonest of them all.

Everyone that has a device is always protective of there devices even the commonest password of your phones are very secretive so that knowledge must be applied to your crypto assets. Be security wise all the time that's all I can say to anyone. there is a popular security phrase that says "Not your keys, Not your coin" so security consciousness is paramount.

Even if you write you password in a book its still not safe, no where is really safe but try as much as possible to protect your self.

wrong quoting is what I have tried to avoid so much but it seems it still occurs, you should have used at least few minutes to read thoroughly to comprehend my intentions from creating this thread. I supposed you misunderstood what I was trying to pass as an information. I'm not talking about copying posts from social media without providing links buddy! What I meant was that some people just post whatever comes to there minds in the local board and that has chased most of our senior colleagues away from the LB.
Like a recent post by Funke which was moved to off topic was a typical example of what i meant, posting things like the recent prayers of a prominent pastor of salvation ministries during his current program. How does that relate to Bitcoin or the local board most times not everyone here is a Christian why bring such discussion over here.

I suppose if you look into the users posting style or topics you will understand what the thread or the quoted part meant not the way you perceived it.

Ever since I have been in this gambling board I have seen lot of questions if this kind and my resolution to it is just I don't have a specific purpose for gambling because the two purpose of gambling here is the core reason for indulging in gambling. how then can I separate them and chose one it doesn't work that way.

for me I gamble for the two either fun or funds, some times it's for fun while some time it's for the money, especially when I'm broke I go for money, yes according people here it's not a response way of gambling but deep down in our hearts we are there for the money. but when im okay or my work is paying me accordingly I just put in some little set out amount and gamble for fun or play those online casino game.

Although I understand what you mean but your English is weak and seems a little bit hard to comprehend fast.

It's has been the topic of everyday that one should make sure in life that your rich, don't live for today and suffer in future while you plan for today also look into your future.

There is one thing I know too well, that it's not my fault I'm from a poor background but it will be my fault if I remain in that background. At the very young age of men it's meant to be spent wisely knowing too well that in less than no time nature will take it's part in your life and you will be left no chance of changing the past.
Make haste while the sun shine.

I very sure it's a scam! There is no way Blockchain will have to send you such message. That's a strategy I'm very much aware of, this scammers usually give you fake receipts of transaction successful and that it will not be delivered to your account untill you make a deposit of so amount that is usually almost have of the one they scammed from you already in order for your money to be delivered.

I will suggest you block such contact and stay away from those scammers, any person that promises you a too good to be true profit in the crypto space is a scammer because it's never possible to achieve such goals as they claim. One question you should as the scammers is "If you have this kind of opportunity why didn't you make use of it yourself?".

Anyways, there is a tendency that the scammer will deploy another strategy that you should try to recover the lost funds by using their fake apps and make a deposit that all the scammers will be tracked and you money wil be restored. Don't fall for them anymore be smart enough to say NO to them.

Okay! from my perspective its the older men. Yeah for some reason which I will list below, I believe they gamble more for fun than the younger men:

[1] The older men from 60 years and above gamble more for because at that age this people tend to be fulfilled already. having achieve a level of status they may not longer be interested in making so much money as the younger men would do.

[2] At the age of 60 most old men will only be in search for what makes them happy in order to enjoy they're retirement and the remaining days of their lives. while the younger men will be in search for what will also make them happy too but most time what ever isn't bring or adding money to a young man's wallet isn't making him happy already.

[3] At the age of 60 the older men have less responsibility to carry so wouldn't have any more intention on anything else. but for younger men at the age of 45 and below always have this pressure in them that makes them go extra miles on everything, and most time the older are also included in the pressure of younger men. e.g when your dad is retire the children now has the responsibility to take good care of them so the younger men had much to do than the older men. since gambling offer both fun and funds the younger men will indulge in it for the both reason and older men will for just one reason which is fun.

I hope this three reason of mine will blend in with everyone's reason.

For sure everyone here loves the forum and we all have similar experiences and we'll enjoy it here except for my mates who would not be able to stand the criticism of people hence left the forum but for those of us who are able to with stand and have grown thicker skin we love the forum and has learnt alot if not everything we know about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency at large.

One thing I have been afraid of is being known (KYC) etc that's why all my social medias don't have my real identity because I love anonymity (privacy) and this forum is the best social environment I have seen with anonymity. I don't know who is behind each user name, you too don't know me and that has brought the biggest freedom of speech, since I love freedom and I'm getting it here I love the forum.
