I also recommend you buy from the official website.
Also you can think it over, Trezor and Ledger are basically as good. Maybe Trezor is also fine for you. (But I also have Ledger.)
Then there's a well-written post with the right guidelines, you should start by reading that: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5288201.0

First rule: never invest what you don't afford to lose. This seems to be fine for you.
Second rule: never invest based on advises from strangers over the Internet. So.. please be careful, okay?

This being said, it still depends on you. Buying is not a bad option, but only if you think it like: if it plays out to be on profit after <short_term>, you can sell if you want, but be also ready to hold for longer if it falls too much during the <short_term>.

For the next few years, no, see the other posts.

For very long term yes. But Bitcoin is meant to be a coin, something people use; even if 80% of the coins "in circulation" are actually locked in wallets, even the rest can make plenty of transactions; keep in mind that there's not much of a difference if one sends 10 BTC or 10 mBTC in a transaction (for the miners and fees).
Also, if there will be problems and mining will not be profitable, some miners will give up causing the difficulty drop and make it again profitable for the rest (that's if people and companies also stop buying ASISs like mad).

For now it's profitable, you should not worry for the miners.

He's a huge promoter of Dash. The post from the other topic has huge images for no actual reason (other than promotion). So.. yeah..



There were days when the promotion army of Dash was engaging into flame wars when Monero promoters tried to warn nicely that Dash privacy has possible issues.
I guess that such narrative is no longer suitable for them, hence here we are...



I fear that more than half of top 20 coins from CMC fall into shitcoin category. Greed is strange...

Since the source is only one address, it may also be something like a bounty, signature campaign, or mining automated withdrawal - maybe you've reached certain threshold?
Does anything ring a bell?

As an idea: in the future make better use of your addresses and use different address for different thing you are "subscribed to", writing it down what the address is for, I could help 

At least this time nobody can claim that the price is manipulated by bots, that we have a new MtGox, that there's a bubble with no substance and so on.
...and I guess that's not only Grayscale buying there 

The future looks bright! Actually the present doesn't look too bad either 

From what I know Binance's new crypto card does that. But also from what I know it's not available everywhere.
It may be working in parts of Asia, it is the process of getting deployed in EEA and it may be existing also in Russia, but I am not sure.
So it depends on where you live and you have to do a bit more research yourself.

I don't think that you'd (ever) want to do that.
Just imagine that somebody gets his account "hacked" (doesn't matter how), loses some Bitcoin and blames it all on you.
You may have even to make the code open source and it may still not matter for some (see Electrum scandal)

So I'd keep it official, with or without an API.

This was also covered in a thread yesterday: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5306039
I'm surprised that with your usual activity you've still missed it 

At the time of that topic it was $30.38B, now preev shows somewhere at $33B - $33.4B.
So at a 6x growth of Bitcoin he'll surpass Bezos. Something that can actually happen, maybe even before the next birthday of Bitcoin.

I'm by far not a "metadata specialist", but I know a little bit about files. And I can tell you that anything from a file can be changed, including the metadata.
If the file would be protected by a checksum or anything, then the checksum can be edited too, but here it's not the case.

I've also done a quick experiment. I've opened the file as text in Notepad++ (I was too lazy to install a hex editor), edited line 15 (creationdate) and changed it to 2001. And saved it. My pdf viewer (FoxitReader) opened just fine the modified file and now the creation date is in 2001.

Conclusion: you cannot trust that and in fact you are chasing for something that cannot be tested from the metadata to be truly genuine.

Indeed, EUR price is higher than it should. Somehow it looks like Mycelium may get the price in USD and then do a bad conversion to EUR, since it shows similar bad EUR price everywhere.
I did use EUR price now and then, but I mostly use their USD price (for same quick reference) to stay in sync with ... basically everybody. And USD price looks unaffected by this bug.

Yep, twitter is already full of greeting messages for this.
Happy Birthday Bitcoin!
And many thanks, Satoshi Nakamoto, wherever you are.

In case he's alive and well, I'm sure that he was smart enough to mine Bitcoin to other addresses later or simply buy at under 5$ a piece so he can live a good life and still stay under the radar.
So I'm not worried that he would damage the market.

Give it a little more time and he will become the first, if you are counting like that.
But since he didn't touch his coins that's a 100% virtual valuation, i.e. he would be that rich only after actually selling precious Bitcoins for green paper.


I think that more appropriate would be "Big thank you, Satoshi Nakamoto. The original crypto astronaut.  "

I am reporting them as I find them, but it's getting tiresome; from new topics to bumping topics new and old, they're polluting everything, although temporarily.

There's nothing known that links these posting bots, so the IPs or something like that could be blacklisted?
Or maybe based on the domains linked from inside the posts?
Or maybe if a post contains more than 2 links and it's made by a brand new or newbie, the links are automatically transformed into something that's not a valid link anymore?!

Mycelium is pretty annoying in trying to make you backup your wallet, which iirc means your mnemonic seed.
I'd start with trying to remember if I've done such a backup and where I've saved it.

It could save you from a lot of effort in directions that may get you nowhere.

Clearly the forks didn't go away. You can clearly cash them in.
Since you moved the coins from the wallet you actually did the best safety first step.
Then, you should read this tutorial for the most important forks: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2836875.0

Bitcoin market is moving fast.

You would have various options:
1. Buy now and risk to buy before a dump (or more pump?)
2. Wait longer and risk to grow more (or get lucky and see a dump)
3. Buy smaller amounts over longer period of time (but make sure you don't pay more for the fees than you should).
4. Don't buy at all.

However, the "it just grew and now I cannot buy" excuse is rather lame.
If you are afraid to buy, you have to admit it to yourself. I am not suggesting you should buy or not (!!), just be honest with yourself.


I was in the same situation and ended up getting more crypto by earning it than buying. Unfortunately I was not smart enough for option [3]. And I cannot turn back time now...

Lesser known altcoins' blockchain is usually small enough, using a full node wallet should be not a problem.
The problem is the day traders / liquidity providers: they do keep bigger funds in order to grab some cents and this is quite a blow for them.
But the rest, i.e. normal miners should have not kept money there.
