All your questions have been answered by this post, everything was there on the link given, just read and understand so that you'll know how this merit system works in the forum and how helpful it is.  Because the merit system and the activity that require are now all together and it's a prerequisite that must be acquired.

Isn't that hard if you're knowledgable enough, engaging in technical topics, and of course with knowledge of it is very easy for you to have merit.
So, therefore, I may advise you to read more first and learn, your quality post will be rewarded even without knowing you and it'll come spontaneously.

I didn't use this but yeah, I've read in different articles that the common problem is the short life span of the battery because they use lithium batteries which is IMO, if you'll not charge it regularly it will reduce the lifespan.  If you're familiar with the most popular battery used in solar energy they used lithium which needs to recharge daily.  My advice is that, even though you didn't use it just check and occasionally charge it like every week even though you're not using it, the battery survives more or less 20 days as their website said which I think 1 week is quite enough.

Now knowing that issue? 
Would you continue using SafePal hardware wallet?

I don't think this proposal will work and let admin agree with your plan.
It seems a big slap on Bitcoiners here to do a pump and dump on Bitcoin by doing such action, you can't manipulate the market, if you do once, for sure it'll not happen again.  There's a high volume in the market and I don't think it's as simple as you think.

No one also wants to hold that big responsibility here, imagine you hold a large amount of money.  Bitcoin was designed for a digital payment system, not a pump and dump.

This won't work, IMO.

I tend to agree with what you've all said except the number 1.
No one becomes lazy when it comes to valuable stuff, because that's your asset and if you'll know that it'll be lost in the future, then you have to save it.
That category will belong to the lack of knowledge, they store on exchange because they thought that it's safe and there's always support to ask when every time they'll forget or lose their credentials to access the account, unlike non-custodial wallet or exchange it's all your responsibility to keep your private key.

Another factor could be, that Binance promised their users that their fund was in SAFU, but poor users only believed in the marketing strategy so that they will not leave on exchange put into a trust.  People have learned now, that FTX and Binance recently happened was have an impact on the community on how to store your coin in a right place.

Regulation has nothing to do with a decentralized platform, it could be applicable on the centralized platforms if this is your choice.
Might you forget the goal of the Bitcoin creator the reason why Bitcoin was created?  What we can do now is to avoid centralized platforms to avoid more regulations. 

I tend to agree and that's true.
We should always have DYOR upon picking a new project, we should follow them whenever they're as an active community because in that way we know about their project goal and we determine how good they're.  But now, most commonly a new project doesn't have a clear utility, it becomes redundant to other existing projects that also didn't exist.  That's why I didn't put large money into a new project.

I rather give a large amount on Bitcoin than these new project altcoins.

My prediction could be, it might depend on what happens around, as we can see Bitcoin price always reacts to the trend whether it's positive or negative events.  So possible if there's good news these days Bitcoin has a chance to pump up and if there's worst news like hacking, exchange shut down, or any scenario that is connected to crypto, this surely will take effect.

For now, I'm speechless with my prediction for this year, it's too early to say what will happen to the Bitcoin price.
However, that's an amazing discovery, I also notice this before when I was commenting on a thread of predictions which is every four years will pass, and Bitcoin will dump the price.

What did you expect then?
There's no good in any signal groups because most of them turn to scam or scams their users by giving a false trading signal.
Don't work because they are not a good source for your trading, it should you must learn on your own.

That's just the market how works, because of the volatility nature of the price eventually pump and dumps, it could be we've experienced a dump market today because who knows days have passed there will be another new ATH will come on Bitcoin price.

There's no specific time but it's proven for how many years based on history that Bitcoin price will always reach another all-time high.
If you've faith and trust, you can wait and those who have patient will receive a better reward in the future.

I didn't expect this, why?
I've been here in the crypto space for many years and I witnessed so many times how bullrun and when it commonly happened.
It's expected that there will be a bull market when after a halving, most commonly after a year.

But I tend to agree with you, don't expect too much that there's a bull market this year, it could be better if set our mindset that Bitcoin investment is a long-term purpose, not a short term.

So whatever happens in the market, never sell your coin at a loss position.

That's a problem now in most centralized wallets, they prohibit users to link their wallets to any gambling platform.
Even in my local wallet, they eventually banned/froze wallets that linked to any gambling platform, so it is not advisable to send your crypto directly on an exchange or a wallet that comes from a gambling casino wallet, much better if you will read the terms of use before making such a decision.

Here's the list of all crypto exchanges if you want to withdraw your coin and trade it into your local currency.  P2P exchange or decentralized exchnage if you want to cover your identity or if you aren't afraid of KYC go for a centralized exchnage platform.  There's nothing safer, buy a hardware wallet that can protect your valuable asset.

There's nothing if you'll try contacting them but I have a doubt that's already gone together with the website. 
Because usually, the Bitcoin website that has a faucet or Bitcoin giveaways was shut down and can't open anymore.  Not unless you have control of that wallet's private key so that you can able to recover the wallet even though the site itself was shut down.

Freebitco.in was the oldest gambling site that has a faucet since I'm new in crypto and I think before that was not a gambling casino.

Actually, there are categories in which your new year's resolution will fall.

• Start a new goal
• Stopping an ineffective way of being or abandoning
• Continuing as you've said the last new year's resolution or just stuff that has been still working for you.

Might most of us choose the last one because IMO, you'll need to learn from the past and correct it in the future which is your new year's resolution?  If you invested in crypto and get easily panic and get FUD.  It should be no more FUD in the future because you've learned it and avoided possible mistakes.

If you're afraid to risk your investment, don't hug altcoins as your investment because they aren't worth it.  It seems you gambled your money playing with a high-odds game or have a high multiplier.

So basically what people are looking for?  Quick profit?
We've already altcoins that are listed on Coinmarketcap that has real utility if this is what they are meant for, but they're just looking for a hype coin that makes them rich quickly but doesn't have real use.

We always welcomed users who are just willing to learn about Bitcoin or the entire cryptocurrency.
I suggest you read it first before deciding to post because there are too many existing topics that you're looking for on this board.  Find those pinned or sticky topics above and you'll find out helpful topics that increase your knowledge and knows what's dos and dont's here in the forum.

There's no clear identity or gender regarding on Satoshi's personality, it could be a group of people, a man or a woman, no one knows.  Not unless, if you know this founder of Bitcoin personally.

You're in the right place to explore the beauty of blockchain technology but you're not late, there's plenty of time to know more about Bitcoin.

If you were using the U.S. IP address accessing Binance you will surely get an error message that pops up on your screen.   

Keep in mind that using VPN was against their terms, if you'll find out that you've used VPN to bypass geo-restrictions, the circumstances could be suspending your account and freezing your fund.  I tend to agree with the suggestion above, just contact the Binance support team and ask regarding this concern if they've any legal solution. 

Though using VPN is legal but it depends where on local laws and regulations.

Considering the outcome, you shouldn't forget the Stop-loss as your plan B or exit plan. 
Don't stick to one strategy, quickly switch to another one if you have consistent losses because that's not a good strategy.

The strategies that you're talking about are just a tool in trading but don't give a guarantee that you'll have an accurate win rate, there's no assurance for that in how good you are in trading.

No, it made you confused, stick to one strategy and switch if it isn't working.

You have positive expectancy but don't expect to have an accurate results.

In this case, we should choose the right exchange where to entrust our money.
One of the reasons why they don't move their coin into non-custodial wallets is that there's a fee for every transaction they have, but isn't really a good idea to let your coins sleep on the exchange wallet.

I think that's not a greedy habit, looking and finding a way how to save fees is a wise move.

That's why when an exchange gets hacked or compromised, they freeze all accounts and didn't allow users to withdraw their funds.  It will surely be really frustrating that will others will create a massive panic.  Then, it's us who will suffer when there's a security breach on the exchange.

Haha, dont believe that your fund is in SAFU, a centralized exchange will not help when it comes to the security of storing the fund, they are prone to hacks and scams, or it might possibly cause an inside job.  So why do we trust them to hold our funds?

Besides, Bitcoin was designed and created for a decentralized purpose why we need those centralized platforms.
Those you've mentioned above are also centralized coins, they are very danger to hold in a long term.

It crushed my heart reading your story while there was a small drop of tears in my eyes knowing about your condition.
Back then (2017) when I remember, you were the first manager that I worked with and I can't forget that.  I'll try to help you financially by this next week as much as I can, a little amount that only I can afford.  I respect you as my first manager here in the forum and you've my sympathy.

There's a lesson in this story that you've shared, we should give value to our health not becomes it's too late or becomes complicated, regular check-ups should it must than knowing it's too late and it becomes complicated.

Just pray and don't forget to call and speak to God, merciful Jesus will give us a trial but won't let us suffer once we call his name.
Just surrender to him your problem and will surely hear your voice.  If I know your true name, we will pray for you and ask for the fastest healing together with my brothers and sisters in the church.

More power to you sir @yahoo62278 and thank you for this advice.

Be careful downloading or using a search engine in google play, use the official website of Electrum when someone wants to download it because it's a safe way to download Electrum and the last thing is always to verify GPG signatures.

However, I tend to agree with this using Electrum as your Bitcoin wallet via payment method, you can also use it through a QR code on that app.
It usually takes 10-15 mins when the confirmation transaction to confirm and for a safe transaction could be 3-4 confirmations and that's unlikely can reverse a transaction.

Good luck in your business, glad to know there are people who keep spreading Bitcoin awareness.
