This shows that how this industry really lacks the security of their coins and technically they are not much sound. There could be another reason for him not to list is that there are no referral links for that. He focused on wallets that has referral link this way he could earn some commission.
You are right, it ought to include electrum wallet which is the best bitcoin wallet. There could just be mistakes, and this video has just been the best I can post at the moment is the reason,and to just be a beginners focus trading guild. Although, for not mentioning electrum wallet is a mistake but he emphasized more on hardware wallet if security is the case, I think it is still making good point as he also condemn all online wallets that they are not safe like hardware wallet.

Can you just comment about the problem you are having with margin trading on binance?

Binance might not be user friendly but it is a good exchange platform for margin trading. Or, do you need a platform you will be able to go long and short for margin trading?

Or maybe I should post you a video to understand how margin trading works on binance?
7663  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin's future on: December 03, 2020, 08:19:17 PM
People that did not invested when bitcoin was $7000 really missed out, because people really commented about it then how bitcoin could increase in price after halving, and bitcoin later increased and now at $19000. 

Although, bitcoin is having $20000 resistance but the support at $19000 is stronge as well. This time is very hard to predict where bitcoin is heading to, but it is very possible for the price to fall or to increase, people are even afraid of whales not to sell if bitcoin has passed the $20000 resistance because whales that have moved bitcoin to exchanges now have increased. Whales do not just move bitcoin to exchanges, it is because they want to sell it which can decrease the price of bitcoin abrupthly.

But as of this time, to predict what will happen to bitcoin price, either it will increase the more or decrease is not certain. But I do know over long period of time that the price of bitcoin would have increased.

This will make users hesitant to use mobile phone for their wallet especially android
Although, after web wallet, mobile wallet is the next most vulnerable to attacks, but that does not mean using mobile wallet is not still safe if you can properly maintain online privacy and safety. There are many legit mobile wallets like electrum, but what we just need is to make sure of never using google for anything, visiting the official site of the wallet for download, you can also be able to even verify the mobile wallet on the official wallet sites.

But the fact remains, we should not leave high amount of bitcoin or other crypto on hot wallets.

Immediately I saw your post, I went to android play store on my phone and I found it to be true.

     

The scammers had good review for it but scam with over 1000 downloads now. People are just tired of Google play store as many fake apps are listed there every month which some people would have been scammed for such google neglegence means of listing apps on their app store.

That was a blunder error committed by that mails sender. They should as a matter of urgency notify their esteem customers to immediately implement 2fa in their account as there might be something big fishing under the exchange soon. Things like this shouldn't be handle with levity, becasue it may lead to a huge data breach when these information fall into the wrong hands. IMHO, the sender of these mails should be held responsible becasue he/she gave the room for the hackers to respond.
I just did not included it in the news to make my points clearer, the exchange take immediate action which although might not be sufficient enough.

Quote
BTC Markets said they will report the breach to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner, conduct and internal review and step up the security measures around user’s details.

The company also advised its users to use two-factor authentication for their BTC Markets account to secure their accounts, and directly contacted all their users to inform them of the breach

7671  Other / Beginners & Help / Australia’s crypto exchange, BTC Markets data breach on: December 02, 2020, 01:07:28 PM
Early on Tuesday morning, an Australian cryptocurrency exchange (BTC Markets) that bills itself as the largest in the country inadvertently exposed more than 270,000 of its members names and email addresses. BTC Markets issued a statement acknowledging that the company had breached the privacy of its customers and apologised for the situation. “Earlier today, an announcement from BTC Markets exposed client names and email addresses.

According to the BTC Markets, the company uses an external email system to send out updates to its customers. In the process of sending out correspondence, the company’s customers’ names and emails were included in the ‘to’ section of emails, rather than being blind carbon copied or individually addressed.

The privacy breach threatens the security of the BTC Markets user base. The exchange uses a user’s email address as their login. Further, anyone with a list of users could use that information to guide phishing attempts.

https://www.businessinsider.com.au/btc-market-cryptocurrency-privacy-breach-2020-12

Although, it was reported that the exchange was not affected but possibly this data breach might lead or might have led to phishing attacks or attempts on the exchange users, what about people that did not make use of 2fa? Their accounts are vulnerable at that moment. It is good to make use of 2fa which could have helped some people. But, the best advice is to never leave your funds/bitcoin on exchanges because they are not secure and safe by design.

And their target is people who're more stupid than them, either because they never experience got scammed or never learn from mistake.
For example, "Nigerian prince scam" (no offense for nigerian people) has been around for a decade, but even in 2019 it still rakes in over $700,000.
You are right, the people that are scammed behave stupid, but if we see it another way around, we may not blame them. People like easy to get profits and also what they do not work for but profit from it. Life does not work like that, I remember when I know about bitcoin, I looked online for how to earn bitcoin, pay-to-click site was one of them, I decided to work on one, from the ads that are displayed, was a bitcoin generator, in less than 10 seconds, it generated almost 0.005 btc and displayed a bitcoin address, that I should deposited 0.02 btc to claim the bitcoin generated. I still always remember that day if not because I had no bitcoin, I would have deposited it and expecting 0.005 btc not knowing it was a scam. What I noticed is that human are so ignorant of many things, even psychologically they are weak and decoy to those scam because they do not have the knowledge and experience. I blame more to our governments, they need to find ways thy are educating us to also educate people how scam is real and how to avoid. Afaik, governments are not trying in any way than to deprived people of their privacy and makes them more exposed to centralized bodies like Google, YouTube and social media, and in one or more ways be scammed. Humans needs education, forums like Bitcointalk can help but how many people are visiting the forum if compared to all the whole world, but I am very certain anyone in this forum can not fall for such scammers because even without being a victim, we have the knowledge than can not let us got scammed.
7674  Economy / Speculation / Re: What's next for Bitcoin? on: November 30, 2020, 09:30:36 PM
Sometimes patience is key.  In 2017 and early 2018 when my BTC fell to almost 3K I was frozen in fear as to the best move for my future.  I elected to HOLD because it has worked for me the past 8-10 years.  Today I am about the happiest man alive with my decision.
Bitcoin is proven itself as real deflationary money, holders can not lose over a long period of time, if they think they are losing, the price will rise again, all needed is patience.
7675  Economy / Speculation / Re: What's next for Bitcoin? on: November 30, 2020, 09:09:20 PM
Although bitcoin has been able to reach all-time-high today according to report on crypto news, but this has only been if compared to dollar. But, people holding bitcoin in 2017 when the price was at $19,891.99, according to coinbase’s price index have not actually recovered back their funds in value. U.S. dollar holders lose approximately 2% of their purchasing power per year on average from inflation. Official data reveals 2.13% inflation in 2017, 2.49% in 2018, 1.76% in 2019 and 1.86% in 2020. “If you bought Bitcoin at the top in December 2017, you won’t truly recover your buying power until bitcoin hit $21,131.02. The real all time high in value will be achieved at this later price if dollar inflation is included. I believe $21,131.02 will be achieved soon to let people realize that bitcoin is an appreciative asset, that people holding it will certainly have nothing to lose but gain.

7676  Economy / Economics / Bitcoin and gold price inflation adjusting all-time-high on: November 30, 2020, 08:49:42 PM
I think you will find this interesting. Normally the price of bitcoin and gold are displayed in USdollars while this could make use not to know the real worth of an asset because US dollar is fiat and subjected to US government controlling the price. Although, US dollar is a very strong currency, but in the past, it has been subjected to depreciation, fiats are just depreciative currency.

Gold reached a price of $678 U.S. dollars in 1980, according to a breakdown from Visual Capitalist. Accounting for inflation, based on calculations from Officialdata.org, $678 in 1980 held the same buying power as approximately $2,142 in 2020. The precious metal technically broke its U.S. dollar all-time high this year, hitting $2,075, according to TradingView data. Its 1980 record purchasing power level remains unbroken, however. Since its push to $2,075 in August, gold has retraced in price, sitting near $1,778 per ounce at the time of publication.

Bitcoin hit its last all-time price high in 2017, tagging $19,891.99, according to Coinbase’s price index. Accounting for inflation, Bitcoin’s record high stands at $21,131.02 in terms of value, Officialdata.org indicates. U.S. dollar holders lose approximately 2% of their purchasing power per year on average from inflation. Official data reveals 2.13% inflation in 2017, 2.49% in 2018, 1.76% in 2019 and 1.86% in 2020. “If you bought #Bitcoin at the top in December 2017, you won’t truly recover your buying power until we hit 21.24k,” podcaster Vlad Costea said in a tweet on Tuesday. Costea used $20,000 as Bitcoin’s high, putting the numbers and dates into an inflation calculator to determine the most accurate figures.

Taking U.S. dollar devaluation into account, gold has still not reached the all-time price high it set in 1980.
https://cointelegraph.com/news/gold-and-bitcoin-eye-inflation-adjusted-all-time-highs-but-it-s-taken-gold-40-years
https://cointelegraph.com/news/will-money-printer-go-brrr-rob-bitcoin-of-its-all-time-high

We should be able to differentiate between all-time-high in price of assets which is usually in US dollar and the real all-time-high in value. Gold was able to reach all-time-high in price if compared to UD dollar this year, but in real value, gold has not reached all-time-high since 1980. While bitcoin in just three years reached all-time-high today in price in US dollar but not yet reached all-time-high in real value as it needs to get to a price of $21,131.02 as a result of US dollar inflation too, but very possible this will only be achievable in just less than three years.
7677  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to safely store your private keys? on: November 30, 2020, 08:24:25 PM
Do you know that theives do not most of the time come to someone's house to steal his money, they have informants that inform them that their is money in the house, this can be known during the process of collecting the money and taking it along to your house. There are many cases the thives will not know where you put the money, but will pressure you to tell them the truth that they know everything about the money and how it got to the house. I am talking about fiat that can draw theives attention to someone.

Bitcoin is different, if you are able to have your privacy online and able to securely save your seed phrase, I think you are good. That is why it can be dangerous for kyc and for people to know you have bitcoin, but if they do not know you have bitcoin and you are maintaining your privacy, your seed phrase can still be properly save at your home and be safe from attackers because they do not link any bitcoin to you not to talk of coming to your house pressuring you to give them seed phrase or private key.

But, how about them finding out while checking your phone or other device? I think that should also be addressed. But as of recent, I have found many people that said theives came to their house, stole phone, laptops and many other devices but left hardware wallet because they do not know what it is. Those kind of theives do not require for phone or device password than to steal it and format it to sell it to another person.  Which means the seed phrase is good if properly saved, he will just have to input it on another wallet and recover his bitcoin as the thives only go away with the phone and format it if you use password probided.. But, I do not know of later, maybe the thives will be smarter.

It is almost a year on this forum and asking about how to earn merits, you need to have the kind of zeal that can earn you merits. Learn about bitcoin and others, checking how people are getting merit by check their merited posts and how they are making their contents they are posting, be hardworking, optimistic and believe in yourself, research and make good topics. I believe you are not just new, know that merit source, and many other members will know your account by your quality contributions, there will be a time they will just have to merit you if you start contributing quality posts that are helpful.

This is new and only still support ether, according to video, the game is cool and everything about won are recorded on the ethereum blockchain directly, I like it like that. I hope gambling sites will support this too, in a way we can also make use of bitcoin directly to make bet with this kind of new game, and winnings to be recorded directly on the blockchain.
7680  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Multi bets vs single bets on: November 30, 2020, 09:07:45 AM
That's a good question, In my humble opinion, multiple bets are more risky than single bets.
The possibilities are combined and the gains / wins are more serious.
Single bets, on the other hand, may yield more wins due to the odds.
Yes, normally, multiple bet are riskier than single bets, but there is fun in multiple bets. Bettors play single bet with high amount of money while reducing the amount if staking for multiple bets because they know the chance not to win the games is higher. The best is for someone not to be an addict, he can go for multiple or single bet, but reducing the betting amount while going for multiple.
