Somehow I got logged out. The capchas on this site are ridiculous.

 I use a VPN and I find the captchas everywhere ridiculous - especially on Google.  I don't think it really has much to do with security... they just want to know exactly who you are and hate it so much when they don't that they want to cause you max pain in hopes you'll give up on privacy.  Duckduckgo is my best friend for searches now.

Startpage is also a good choice.

Are y'all going for a quadruple top or something? The collapse on the other side of this is going to be really bad.

How do you do it man?

Thank you!

Just downloaded my transaction list from the BTC Broker's website and deleted my account.
Good bye, big brother  Cheesy

I was wondering about what you said earlier:

[...]

The Trezor Safe 3 looks good as a non-EU based ledger replacement.

[...]

Why are you saying that it's non-EU-based? From what I know, SatoshiLabs are based in the Czech Republic (an EU country).

Sorry if I'm missing something...
87  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: March 04, 2024, 08:32:45 AM
Like clockwork.

Ready Land the chopper.

Surprise, surprise  Grin
Anticipation of this move already seen yesterday.
Thanks for your comment about Trezor, by the way  Cool

No probs. Will let you know more when I get it. They're currently overloaded with orders. Hopefully this week or the next.

Edit: re. the pullback from $80k, anything can happen, but now we have the ETFs (i.o.w., "this time is different"). As if anything is ever the same with Bitcoin...

Life's good. We're blessed. Enjoy it.

By the looks of it:

AYH in the morning,
ATH in the weekend.

Following the news on the EU anti money laundering and anti terrorism financing laws, effectively in place from 30th dec. 2024, i have to say good bye to my Ledger Nano and EU based Crypto broker. I don't use EU regulated exchanges, so no problem there, but attacking privacy of self custody wallets is a no-no-no-no-no!
The broker isn't a problem, because i can DCA via exchange, though less comfortably.

The Trezor Safe 3 looks good as a non-EU based ledger replacement.

OpSec trigger warning:
Who of you is actually already using it, and would you recommend it for cold/hot storage or both?

EDIT: Feels like we may get a Weekend-pump tonight. SOMA.

Not exactly an answer to your question, but it just so happens that I ordered a Trezor Safe 3 a few days ago! I gifted my old Trezor One to my nephew (a new coiner), so I opted for the Trezor Safe 3 as an upgrade. I've never had any issues with the Trezor One, it's been nothing but flawless in its handling of my Bitcoin stash, which now only lives on a piece of paper, until I receive my Trezor Safe 3 and give it a new, safe home. I've used the Trezor One for cold storage only, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be useful as a hot storage device too. The ability to use a passphrase together with the seed words gives you the extremely convenient feature that you can literally have an infinite number of wallets, each with its own, extremely secure (it you choose it correctly) passphrase, all readily accessible via the same user interface, and all stemming from the same 12-/24-word seed that you have backed up (or will back up) securely only once, preferably in multiple places.

A concern, for some, regarding the Trezor Safe 3, is the inclusion of a Secure Element chip inside it, which could potentially spoil the open-source nature of the device's f/w. SatoshiLabs claim that this is not the case, as they have made sure they are not limited by NDAs or other contracts to not disclose the particulars of that chip, so I would consider it a bonus compared to the Trezor One. The inclusion of the Secure Element chip, among other things, enables the use of a very secure device authenticity verification procedure, when you first set up your device, thus protecting you from receiving a tampered/hacked device. The Trezor Safe 3 also offers a more modern user interface, and the ability to enter the PIN and passphrase using the device only, instead of the PC, as is needed in the Trezor One (which still does it securely, but not as much as the Trezor Safe 3).

I've not used it yet, but based on my research, I'm confident that the Trezor Safe 3 will serve you well as a cold/hot storage h/w wallet.

About who are next to adopt Bitcoin:

Michael Saylor’s Talk at Bitcoin Atlantis 2024 in Madeira
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dtCYRDL4yc

Michael Saylor can talk about Bitcoin the whole day and one can keep listening to him. This guy steals your attention while he speaks.

"One day I believe Apple, Microsoft and Google they will all integrate Bitcoin and Layer 2 protocols like lightning into there phones, into there computers, into there web services, into there cloud services ... "

...their phones
   ...their computers
      ...their web services
         ...their cloud services
There. Fixed it.

jbreher would be proud.   (...and the necessary OCD FTFY on your quoted post above.)

Everybody buys Bitcoin at the price they deserve.TM

Why do I sense ATH will come B4 the 1/2ing?

97  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: February 26, 2024, 06:11:00 PM
Nice, gradual rise towards $52k I see. 15-min chart looks beautiful.

NOW 15-min is beautiful.  Grin

Too right!

Looks like the chopper's going to vroom vroom again soon.

READY THE CHOPPER

Calm before the storm?

Glass vs. plastic...
Container ain't the problem,
When drinking poison!

Sam Bankman-Fried jailed.

ECB gone nuts,
Claiming that Bitcoin has failed.

Weather is brilliant, almost like summer.
Going out to enjoy a few km of running.

I hope I see green when I'm back.

^ You guys over complicate things.
A simpler math (for US only):

FU status=$2mil in cash. Long term cap gains are 23.8 % in US, maximum, so you would need to produce about $2.56 mil in profit from a sale (I tried to account for 0-89.25K 0% tax, 89.25-250K 15% tax no NIIT, 250K-553.8K 15% tax+3.8% NIIT and above 553.8K-20% tax+3.8% NIIT; all for married, filed jointly).

If, for an argument's sake, your cost is very low, then you'll need about 50 BTC to sell in order to achieve the FU status in about an hour using bitcoin alone (with taxes all accounted for). Adjust 50btc to a higher number if your cost is much higher, like above 5K (every 5K increase in your cost= about 10% increase in the number over 50BTC to achieve bitcoin- only fu status; example-if your cost was 20K, then you'll "need" to sell about 81 btc right now to almost insta-achieve fu status by bitcoin alone).

Just look at the spot, where you can sell right now, not some fancy 200WMA.
The spot is where you would be selling in case of a need to cash out to achieve fu or to buy something substantial, like a nice house, a small ranch or a lake  Cheesy.

Well, each one is different. In the end, whatever suits each one of us is the best strategy.

As for selling, are you sure you want to park $2M of fiat in a bank account in one sell? Don't you want to shave off small amounts from your stash as and when required?

A "buy when you can, sell when you must" approach.

Unless you intend to buy something big, like a million-dollar house, etc. In that case, are $2M enough for f.u. status for you? This is not meant to be a "per year" amount, but a "lifetime" amount.

Just saying...
