If you're looking for reliable and non-bullshit sources of blockchain news, I recommend checking out CoinTelegraph.com. It's one of the most popular places to find accurate information and analysis about cryptocurrencies and blockchain.

For example, their article "Moving beyond the blockchain trilemma: L1 vs. L2" discusses the issue of the blockchain trilemma and offers different solutions at various levels. If you want to stay up to date with the latest developments in the blockchain world and are looking for scalable solutions, this article will be just what you need.

Taking a loan to invest in bitcoin? Now that's what I call a recipe for sleepless nights and anxiety-induced hair loss. Who needs financial security when you can have the adrenaline rush of watching your loan balance skyrocket along with bitcoin's price?
3  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: How do I secure my wallet on: June 15, 2023, 06:19:40 AM
It is true that Electrum is an open-source wallet due to its open-source nature. As a result, the source code of the software is publicly available, allowing developers and users to review and verify the software's security and functionality. The security of open-source projects can be enhanced by the contributions and audits of the community.

You should consider your needs and preferences when selecting a wallet. With hardware wallets, such as Trezor and Ledger, private keys are stored offline, making them less vulnerable to hacking and malware attacks. When storing significant amounts of cryptocurrency or storing long-term, hardware wallets are often recommended.

Now come to the point, whatever software wallet or hardware wallet, whatever Trezor/Ledger or Open-Source, who knows do they have any back door or not? ?
I always prefer Bitcoin core wallet with an offline machine(Linux/other os), or at least DIY Crypto Hardware Wallet is more safer than Trezor and Ledger...
Sure, open-source projects have the advantage of community audits and transparency, but that doesn't mean we should let our guard down. Even with Electrum's open-source nature, we can't be 100% certain about the absence of backdoors. It's a constant battle between convenience and security. For me, I'd rather take the extra steps to ensure my funds are in the hands of a wallet I have full control over, like a Bitcoin core wallet on an offline machine.

Banks holding my private keys? No thanks! I trust my cat more with my crypto secrets. Meowtual security experts, you know.
5  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto-related problems in Ireland and The Netherlands! on: May 30, 2023, 05:29:12 AM
Hey! In both Ireland and the Netherlands, taxation on crypto can be a bit complex. It's important to understand the tax regulations and reporting requirements to stay on the right side of the law. Consulting with a tax advisor specializing in crypto might be helpful. Wishing you success with your move and job opportunity!

The golden era of Bitcoin in 2016, when it was just $586. It's a reminder that HODLing can make all the difference. Here's to holding tight and riding the Bitcoin rollercoaster!
7  Economy / Economics / Re: The thin line between contentment & living below potential, Patience & wasting t on: May 25, 2023, 05:32:18 AM
Financial contentment is like having a cozy blanket on a cold day—it feels nice, but it won't keep you warm forever. It's important to strike a balance between gratitude for what you have and the drive to achieve more. It's like upgrading from a cozy blanket to a luxurious heated blanket—both are good, but one takes you to the next level.
8  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Computer Vision Syndrome/Efficiency when Trading on: May 25, 2023, 05:16:54 AM
Hey there! When it comes to combating Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) while trading, a few tips can definitely help. First, make sure you have proper lighting in your trading environment. Avoid glare on your screen by positioning your monitor away from direct light sources. Secondly, take regular breaks and give your eyes some rest. Follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This helps reduce eye strain. Lastly, consider using blue light filters or glasses that can minimize the harmful effects of blue light emitted by screens. Now, about changing the background color in bingx, unfortunately, I'm not familiar with that specific platform. But you might want to explore the settings or preferences section to see if there's an option to customize the background. Happy trading!

When governments try to put a leash on cryptocurrencies, it's like trying to hold back a tidal wave with a bucket. People will always find a way to embrace digital assets as a hedge against traditional systems. It's time to ride the wave, my friends!
10  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: XLM - yes or no? on: May 04, 2023, 05:19:39 AM
It's always a bit of a gamble to invest based on another cryptocurrency's legal battles, but hey, stranger things have happened in the crypto world.
11  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: XLM - yes or no? on: April 18, 2023, 05:59:28 AM
I've heard a lot of people talking about XLM recently, and it's definitely piqued my interest. While it's true that XLM and XRP are closely linked, I think XLM has a lot of value on its own. It has some great partnerships and is being used in some interesting projects.
12  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Yet another saga looming to hit bitcoin. on: March 29, 2023, 06:38:20 AM
I think it's worrisome that Binance is constantly facing legal issues. It could lead to loss of trust in the crypto market and negatively impact bitcoin prices.
13  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is ETH the King of Altcoins ? on: March 29, 2023, 06:36:33 AM
ETH has certainly made a name for itself in the world of cryptocurrency, but I think it's still too early to crown it as the ultimate King. There are always new altcoins emerging that could take over in the future.
14  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How does one start on crypto? on: December 17, 2022, 11:06:13 AM
I'd suggest using small amounts to start with. Make it a kind of hobby to gradually immerse yourself in all the intricacies of the process.
15  Other / Off-topic / Re: Habits on: March 30, 2021, 09:03:48 PM
It's always not easy to build new healthy habits, but the results are worth it! The main thing is to remind yourself of this at first, after a while it will be much easier and you won't have to force yourself to do something.
16  Other / Off-topic / Re: What kind of music do you listen to? on: March 30, 2021, 08:34:08 PM
I mainly listen to rock and electronics, but selectively. There is not a lot of contemporary music that I could like.
17  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who is Satoshi Nakamoto? on: November 28, 2018, 10:53:17 PM
I think it's a company, may be one of the companies which created other popular currencies, creating buzz with bitcoin and getting profit because of it...
18  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin has no competition on: June 21, 2018, 09:05:53 AM
Bitcoin was the first crypto currency to successfully enter the market.  I do not think that bitcoin will ever leave the market.  Here are other new currencies that will disappear, because no one will get such effect as bitcoin.

Yeah, we already have numerous dead currencies. Think, BTC will manage to survive through years.
19  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: Beware of PayPal and other reversible transfer services on: June 21, 2018, 08:54:39 AM
Have been using PP for more than 10 years and see there nothing to beware of. Yet, thanks for the advice.
20  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trade or HODL? on: June 21, 2018, 08:47:56 AM
First of all, it depends on the market situation. So it's useless to make up a decision without studying the cryptocurrency market and particular token you're interested in. However, I take any advantage to trade.
