Eventually, I got my Trezor hardware wallet. Upon setting it up, I discovered it doesn't have a battery, means it has to be connected to the apps or website in order to create seeds. Though I shut off my Internet connection, it doesn't feel good to me. As I can remember Ledger create seed itself even not connected to the apps. So I have a concern about Trezor security. Are we sure the apps won't pass the seed to Trezor when it is connected to the Internet? Or apps couldn't read data from the Trezor? First time with Trezor, so I need to understand how it does work actually. If Ledger were open-source, then I would like to use Ledger. I like Trezor just for being open-source. 

As we have encountered a significant dump in the crypto market, do you think it was a local bottom for altcoin as well? Today seems the market pumped again, and alts seem to be getting back to their price range. Do you think we will see another bottom for altcoin again this year? I feel this was the last chance to accumulate altcoins, and anytime would fly major altcoins like Ethereum and others. We might not see that bottom again unless the whole market crashes back. So what's your thoughts about the last pullback? Have you accumulated something? 

We know there are a few marketplaces like Fiverr and Upwork that just accept fiat. I am wondering if I can build my portfolio on any freelancing marketplace. It's just for formalities, not for earning, actually. I've been earning money through cryptocurrency, and I'm also making a good living from trading. I need a freelancing portfolio just to show my identity.

I can build on Fiverr, but they charge a lot when someone makes a payment and withdraws. So we want to reduce the system loss. So I may accept funds from my clients through the marketplace instead of direct crypto. Don't take it negatively; it's necessary since crypto is illegal here. I have to show legal authorities that I have been receiving funds through the marketplace. So I intend to receive some of my funds through marketplaces that accept crypto and fiat both. If you are familiar with something like this, please let me know.

If we see the history of Bitcoin, then it's pretty easy to see how Bitcoin recovered its price. It would take time to recover, but eventually it did. So at the end of the day, holders don't need to be regretful. I am talking about Bitcoin, not about any other altcoin. Because even though the Bitcoin price has recovered, many altcoins haven't recovered yet. Even those who bought Bitcoin at the top in the last bull run, I believe they are almost recovered. If they are still holding, they will be in profit within a couple of months. Bitcoin has given us a costly lesson that holders won't regret. We should take that lesson and keep it in mind for the future. 

Many of us know about Bitcoin. But due to a lack of funds, we regret about Bitcoin investment. Many people, particularly those from low-income families, regret when we can't invest in Bitcoin. Though we can't solve this problem, we can struggle to achieve our goal. For our daily needs, we must need money to survive. Sometimes we spend money on unnecessary things. So we can avoid spending unnecessary money because we can survive without it. And we can start investing in Bitcoin with that money. We have to find a solid income source, even if it is small. So we can go ahead with our bitcoin investment. If we struggle now, we may build a bright future. Even students could save some money from their daily spending and invest in Bitcoin.

As we all know, the Bitcoin ETF is already approved. So, do you think the next ETF for Ethereum will be approved as well? Many companies, including BlackRock, have filled the Ethereum ETF as well. I believe the line is already clear to approve the Ethereum ETF since the SEC gave green light to the Bitcoin ETF. We have noticed significant price movements on Ethereum since Bitcoin EFT was approved. I don't see any reason not to approve the Ethereum ETF as well. The deadline is May for the Ethereum ETF. We have to wait for that. What's your thoughts about Ethereum ETF?

The first Bitcoin block was mined on January 9, 2009, at 08:54:25. So today, 15 years ago, we got Bitcoin that was first mined. Out of curiosity, I had been checking Block 1 and surprisingly saw that it was mined this day. So quite excited and expressing the celebrations. I know the discovery process was long, but the final stage was today. Today, the world got a new currency that has changed the world's financial system. I don't know how to thank the mastermind behind this Bitcoin concept, Satoshi Nakamoto, but salute. 🙋‍♂️

Recently, our government has been quite strict about taxes. It wasn't a problem if the cryptocurrency was legal here. But unfortunately, our government stands strongly against cryptocurrency, and we can't use anything related to it here. In this situation, we may not show our income through cryptocurrency, either from marketing services or trading. We can spend whatever we can by selling crypto p2p. But when we need to do something where government institutions should be involved, we must have tax return certificates and wealth clearance. So the only way to show legal income is through remittance. So the government doesn't ask for taxes, and there is not much question about earnings since they are coming from abroad.

Currently, I am using Pyppl, but it doesn't have the option to send from a debit card. We have to make a deposit in crypto or buy fiat through p2p. Also, exchange rates aren't very good. Their support is terrible at all. So do you know of any other services that are trusted and could send crypto as a remittance through bank? I know it depends on jurisdiction, but I am not comfortable sharing the jurisdiction due to government harassment.

Bitcoin transaction fees have become a topic of discussion lately. A lot of topics have been created about Bitcoin transaction fees. It seems the transaction fees are throwing Bitcoin away from its original goal.

Today I attempted to make a Bitcoin payment on Namecheap. Instead of making transactions from the Ledger wallet, I tried to make them from Binance for a faster transaction since there was a 15-minute time limit. So the transaction and withdrawal fees asked in Binance are 0.0004BTC, which was almost $17 during the withdrawal.

Ok, let's forget Binance withdrawal fees. If I want to make transactions from the ledger, then the transaction has to arrive in 15 minutes. I am pretty sure if I want to ensure the time frame, then I have to spend similar fees, even from Ledger. So it's become hard to pay $17 transaction fees to make a $50 deposit. And by force, I had to use a virtual card that doesn't cost anything (I didn't notice any significant fees) and was an instant transaction as well. It made me believe that we are drifting away from Bitcoin's original goal in some way.

For a long time, I have been looking for a virtual card where I can spend my cryptocurrency directly. Today I discovered a RedotPay card service based in Hong Kong. I made three payments today, including Namecheap. It seems everything went smoothly with no issues at all. Deposits could be made through Binance Pay & direct deposit as well, and to use their card, we have to verify identification. It means you need to verify KYC to generate their card. Virtual cards seem to charge $10, and physical cards seem to charge $100. For me, the virtual card charge is reasonable, whereas the physical card price seems unrealistic.

They have mixed reviews on the Play Store and other review sites. I just started using it today and can't say much about it. It might help us with small transactions since I don't dare make big transactions through RedotPay. They are pretty new, and we have to see how their services are going. So use your own risk; I am not preferring to use. Just sharing as an option for those who need a virtual crypto card.

I had been using a Pyypl virtual debit card that served very well until it was enabled. But it seems Pyypl has been unable to resume their card service for a long time. That's the card I trust, because even though they had issues with cards, I could withdraw funds through banking channels. However, I am facing some issues, especially managing my subscription since Pyypl is not working right now and I don't know when it will work. So I am seeking another trusted virtual debit card that could be used through cryptocurrency. If anyone is using a trusted virtual card service, please share your experience.

I have been receiving couple of mail daily to verify KYC for trust wallet. Though occasionally I have been using trust wallet but not as an main wallet. This is absolutely hacking attack. They provide some links even I haven't bothered to click. I just deleted message instantly. Non-custodial wallet won't ask you verify KYC anyway. There are no options to input your mail during creating trust wallet. So no question to receiving KYC verification mail from Trust wallet. It might a result of data breach from various crypto sites. So don't click any links if you receive smialr mail.

Currently, I have been using Ledger X. We know Ledger is a trusted hardware wallet manufacturer. But lately I don't have enough faith in Ledger when it's a matter of storing a large amount. I am not saying Ledger isn't trusted due to my faith. Its just my personal feel about Ledger due to its closed source. More importantly, their backup service is one of the worst things in crypto, though it's not mandatory. Backup our seed with a third party for a hardware wallet won't make it secure anymore.

So here is my concern: I want to move to a new secure, smart, and open-source hardware wallet. And I want to know about the secure chip used by Ledger. Lately, even Trezor started using Secure Chip. So with a secure chip, can we trust that the wallet is safe and doesn't have a chance of being drained by the manufacturer?

I need a multi-currency hardware wallet that is secure, smart, and open-source, price really doesn't matter. One of my choices is Keystone due to their wallet design, especially the fingerprint system. But it seems they used three secure chips, and I am not much aware of whether the manufacturer can drain wallets somehow through the secure chips.

Please suggest details and why you think I should buy this. Please don't send the list to compare wallet, just suggest best one.

The topic title already expresses the theme of the post, but I will try to write in detail. Technically, we are in a bull market, though we don't know if it is real or fake. But we noticed a few newly born altcoins during the last bear season that have potential growth. A few altcoins also gained enough popularity from the crypto community. For example, we can say ARB and PEPE. Both coins haven't met with the bull market previously since they were newly minted. What's your thoughts about these types of coins that were borne during the last bear market? I feel these types of coins would give us a good return during a real bull run. Because all of them have never met a bull and are ready to grow. But we have to make sure of its popularity and potential. Those coins are listed on the biggest exchanges; we may consider them to accumulate. Otherwise, it's quite risky to make money.

Let us know if you have a few names for those borne during bear but potential to grow.

For me, it is advisable to invest but not take financial advice.
1. ARB
2. PEPE

Are you familiar with Pyypl? Though it does require KYC, it could use crypto to create a virtual master card and be used everywhere. Funds could be sent through a banking channel as well as in a legal way that considers remittance.

I am not promoting it exactly; I am just curious if you guys are familiar with it. Pyypl solved a couple of problems, especially about virtual cards and bringing money into bank accounts in a legal way. I have been using it for a while and have never faced any issues. But if you don't want to submit KYC, then avoid it.

Do you know how scammers capitalise on trends? For example, currently, a couple of bot projects are doing very well. There are so many more projects coming with additional or new bot features. That means bot projects are trending right now. Because investors made a decent amount of money from bot projects, now they are seeking more bot projects to make more money. Here, scammers and project farmers are active. They want to capitalise on the current trend; they make some fake promises and launch projects. Investors still think they could make decent money again from these trends. Especially those who missed previous bot projects that did a couple of Xs on the exchanges jump when they hear this is another bot project. When raised funds, scammers just skimped with funds as usual.

What do we should do? Because when you joined the trend, project farmers scammed us. That's how trending will end up, and investors will lose their funds. I will suggest you don't just jump into trends. Make sure the projects are solid. It's just not about bot trending. Pepe also did well, so many Pepe tokens have been launched. That is almost dead, but Pepe is doing good. Those launch later, and investors lose funds there. Don't be greedy, because everyone can't catch the trend. If you are late, you will lose. Rather, I would avoid any investment in brand new projects.

Headline: "SEC Set to Greenlight Ether-Futures ETFs in Win for Crypto Industry"

Bloomberg, a prominent crypto news platform, has reported that the SEC is on the verge of granting approval for Ether-Futures ETFs, marking a significant victory for the cryptocurrency industry. While the accuracy of this information remains uncertain, the news arrives amid a challenging market decline, offering a glimmer of positivity. This development might potentially curb the downward trend of Ethereum's value. While the impact of ETF-related news may be limited, such announcements have been known to aid in mitigating severe declines during bear markets.

Have you see how dumping Bitcoin? If not you are missing red chart. Here is the reason why current dump happened.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/spacex-sold-bitcoin-acquired-2021-2022-report


You can see SpaceX sold $373M worth of Bitcoin. Elon is very harmful for Bitcoin as always. He always supports shitcoins that doesn't have any real value.

As we're all acquainted with trading signal channels, it's worth noting that I'm well aware that the content found there is often deceptive. I don't personally adhere to any of their advice, but I'd like to share my experience in understanding their tactics and how they deceive people.

A few months ago, I was introduced to a free signal channel by someone. I've been observing their posts for a while, marveling at how accurate their forecasts seem to be. They maintain the authenticity of their past predictions by not editing them, which fosters trust and encourages people to join their paid signal group. Recently, I uncovered their strategy. They make predictions for both bullish and bearish trends, spaced a few days apart. They depict upward and downward price movements in separate posts. When the chart goes up, they refer back to their bullish post, and when it goes down, they point to their bearish post. This clever approach lures users into subscribing to their premium channel.

When following a trading signal group, it's important to remain vigilant. These groups employ various tactics to capture our attention, so it's essential to be discerning.

Which Wallet is the Most Suitable Option When Switching from Ledger, and What Are the Reasons Behind This Choice?

I am currently using the Ledger X hardware wallet. However, I have serious concerns about their closed-source software. Therefore, I am seeking the best alternative that can fully secure my funds. Specifically, I am looking for a multicoin wallet, not limited to Bitcoin.

Could you please recommend the most suitable option and explain the reasons behind your choice? Your assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
