It has come to notice about the mentality of different user's that cold storage is for bitcoineers who only have large amount of bitcoins in their portfolio's. I also don't  think it makes common sense to buy storage device that's worth than the amount of bitcoin you're to store in it.
However, the nomenclature of cold storage system is to store your private keys offline and therefore prevents your privacy and security from being broken by online hacker's.
So this storage system should be specifically recommended for those holding their portfolio's for the long term and not limited to certain amount of bitcoin in your portfolio. It's primarily a project to keep your fund's safe from being stolen through the malicious strategies of online hacker's.

[Another thing is that people and organizations should first research before investing]

The content of the news behind this thread South Korean Funeral Firms Face Insolvency Amid Crypto ETF Losses provoked me to create this thread and the caption from the Op on the quote below is where I want to emphasize on.
I wanted my opinion to be visible since i found it informative otherwise, i would had just posted it as reply in the Op.

Another thing is that people and organizations should first research before investing.

I've also read multiple news about organizations and companies shuts down due to high liquidation leaving investors and affiliates stranded in panics on how to recover their funds due to INSOLVENCY.
Overtimes many investors fails to take note that there're supposed to be criterias to be considered before investing in ant firm regardless of how promising the firm might be positioned.
Of course long term sustainability of the firms services should be made a prior.
Similar breaking news is referencing the risk of being ignorant to inquire before investing is the Harvard dumps entire ETH position after just one quarter. Here it's also important to consider what assets you're buying.

Before investing, it should be your obligations to consider the quality of the firm management capabilityftp:// including their potential abilities against future innovation if necessary and the ability to withstand industrious competitions.

[What do you think about a politician who want his own child to gain political ground from a grassroot and that who think he can secure the chance by force?]

Like majority of the masses have also been lamenting; why aren't the politicians children also physically involve in public affairs as much the politicians expects the common masses come out to protest their rights against corruptions and bad governance.
I wanted us to discuss and share insights in a situation of the serving FCT minister the former gov of Rivers State Wike where all he has got dragging his son about in the public is all for the interest of obtaining the son power through politics.
It was really admirable learning about his son's political ambition in the House of Rep while the strategies has also been morally unacceptable because he's just one of those politicians we points to assume it's a danger to allow their children participate in the peoples mandates public activities like protests.

Check this as Wike is pushing for his son's political ambition as the news reads Wike’s Son Reportedly Set to Contest Obio-Akpor House of Reps Seat
 
His predecessor and the formal Minister of Transport Amaechi had also break silent by taking his own son along on massive protests to demand for  the mandatory e-transmission of election results by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
He said, "There are those who say that we, the politicians, want protests but our children are overseas. Here is my first son; I brought him to join the protest. He is a medical doctor. His job is to treat the injured ones if there are any injuries."

He said as I quote;

"There are those who say that we, the politicians, want protests but our children are overseas. Here is my first son; I brought him to join the protest. He is a medical doctor. His job is to treat the injured ones if there are any injuries."

That's a very decent, remarkable and reasonable way to win the support of the masses when it comes to politics affair where politicians have to devote strategies of gaining massive support.

What do you think about a politician who want his own child to gain political ground from a grassroot and that who think he can secure the chance by force?

The formal Transportation minister must be the G.o.a.t. with good Political structures.

He also sighted so appealing claims as I quote

that certain states lack network coverage are no longer acceptable. Financial institutions operate nationwide through secure digital networks to conduct transactions and collect taxes on a daily basis. If banking systems function seamlessly, our electoral system can and should do the same.”

So far we've shared several means of possibilities and my experiences of scammers and their strategies of victimizing their targets and vulnerables.
It's been just too much in their tricky ways that your skepticisms could help you identify them in their disguise while there're still lot of users with very poor knowledge to make decisions by themselves. Some tends to just blindly go brace the broadway with excitements over believing TOO LOOKING GOOD to be true.

So my guy who had fall to scam over joining Whatsapp to get update and recommendations of claimed potential crypto currency for investment just sent me this on the image below, requesting I should join because he had just be recommended with asset to invest and will become rich shortly.
To cut the airway short, he got scammed by the team giving him a different wallet to send the money they want to invest.
Aha, we can still call it old news or old scamming strategy but yet, people are still falling victim. Just keep spreading the awareness and help others.
                     

I'm skeptic if this discussion belongs in this board.

Mark Zuckerberg has always emphasised the importance of being honest on social media. The quote demonstrates that the speaker believes that having several versions of yourself can undermine trust, both in your personal life and in society. Filters, algorithms, and societal standards make people feel compelled to present the best version of themselves online.

I'm just looking out to say the online life powered by the internet should never be trust to believe anyone is living his or her reality therein.
Trusted a third party is very unpredictable.
In the reality life people fails, governments disappointed. Is there anyone who still believe they'll do better and people will stop to even dishonest life? Of course because the world had been corrupted that privacies is something of the people's interest but yet can't get it due to regulatory policies.

I think we should even prepare for the worse because internet or online life has become a safe place for the people to attain that privacy. Infact online life seem no different other than the limited privacy and self custodian rights it provides those living in the digital world.
We can also agree there're offline scammers and the theft so don't expect them to let you know their reality identity before you can figure their ways online.
Online is required to be verified before making decisions because there're you could also lost unrecoverable.
So the internet will ever remain a war place coupled with the advancements of AI.

Threats the internet with risks, prioritize your networks on reputation but don't TRUST wholeheartedly.

As soon as you successfully creates your wallet account, immediately then take orderly and secured control of your seed phrase.
I met an enthusiast who hadn't buy bitcoin for the first time and said he'll properly guide his wallet and seed phrase when he'll finally buy bitcoin.
A very huge misconception there that could get your funds risky of loose because, any loopholes of the wallets security keys in an onset could destroy your entire efforts because scammers getting reach of your security keys in an early time can always hold it and keep tracking your wallet address until they catch you up and steal your funds.
Sound warning to beginners.

Hello guys, do me well to recall that the FCA in January banned retail investors from accessing the crypto ETN, it's also a good news to learn that the long time ban was recently lifted on the 8 of of October 2025.
A spark news has also been hit by "Hargreaves Lansdown" the largest UK exchange platform who at 2024 holds a total assets valued at £1,499.2 million which includes bitcoin Etf spot, gold, stocks and bonds etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hargreaves_Lansdown?

The exchange has also empathized on the risks of investing in bitcoin and cryptocurrencies due to high volatility which I agree with the sound warning because a lot of investors has tend to invest what they can not afford to risk the markets volatilities which can be frustrating for traders and short term investors but I totally disagrees with them to say bitcoin isn't an asset given unbacked excuses just that it doesn't have an intrinsic value. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/10/10/uk-investment-platform-warns-traders-to-avoid-bitcoin-crypto.html

They didn't consider it scarcity limited supplies gives it the edge to hold fortunate values even against inflations while demands and supplies regulates the volatilities. Moreover, the bitcoin market currently holds over $2.24 trillion marketcap in an interval of 15 years from when it was traded and launched in the exchange in 2010 which not asset assets has proven such historical performance. So as historical market is proven holding substantial values is convinceable that bitcoin is an asset because it values appreciates over the long term despites volatilities.

[A word should be enough for the wise.]

This is an important note to whom it may concern specifically (newbies).
Your neighbors, on-line and off-line friends can be a team (partnership) to any of the crypto projects and could convince you to invest without knowing his and the developers ulterior motives was as tactical and selfish one to scam you.
                                  
                        

A word should be enough for the wise.
This brief story was shared by a 2019 crypto adoptor in an online conference.  I hope we could learn from his experience after being deceived despites his relationship with the project team because as Btc experiences strong Dip due to the macro factors, many inexperience persons are already being skeptic if the price will raise again and MemeCoin developers are quite targeting vulnerables who greedily want to grow rich overnight by convincing them to invest and then make away with their funds.

[How we came this far backwards to the # loosing it values to $?]

This news N70,000 Minimum Wage Has Lost Value As Naira Falls prompts me on this post after researches carried out because it's sad earning so big especially the civil servants (and end up the category of poverty).
Indeed once upon a time when naira was ahead the USD and were never equivalent to be compared in those days. Chai, how bad it real feels loosing our fortunes and ego.  
How we came this far backwards to the # loosing it values to $? this happened after the govt engaged with the S.A.P and World bank that's supposedly to be a structure to straighten the economy growth thus things was better than latter the adoption.

    It's weeping to see this historical values were # gradually loosing it up til date.
                                    
                                    
                                    
                                    
     Make una see how we take lost 1 of the criterias way make us become/lost the the African giant from Top to Bottom                                                                            

Ask yourself this question, when will all this get better? What can I do to help my country escape from poverty?

Me; The economy gets better only when there's minimum of poverty, specially when individuals funds has values towards the economy therefore, we don't only lookup to earn in the hard currency as the USD/Euro, inflation has crippled the fiats and that's why I'll keep advising us to store our monies where it can keep values in the long time of which, saving for in bitcoin is the remedy. And I'll also say it to each and everyone to get hope lost on the govt and strive on your rescue because govt won't do it for you. In that case, once it's good for the common citizen to an average level, there be minimal of poverty to balance the system.

Let me also use this medium to direct us to this economy thread I recently created. It's trending with good working instruments of users contribution there. Check it out. Maybe it might help you have some good insight that saving your money in fiat is a way back referencing the economy conditions.

With thorough research about the economy you'd realize the fiats hasn't only been depreciating of the recent like we may have lately perceived it especially after bitcoin has been showcased as rescue but has been doing so since the world economy system also advances catching the trends and the good atmospheres.
So unfortunate for those comfortably holding funds in the fiat for long term even seeing the economy improving without realizing the stacks in the banks purchasing Power is devalued due to stability.

It's almost a century now when the conventional system deviated from silver and gold intrinsic backed and the standard timelines was shifted and isolated the system from backed.

These're what the governments wouldn't tell us that's why they're discouraging bitcoin and crypto currency while countries with the visions to rescue their citizens from that dark will always support it regardless that it's decentralized but also volatile and store of values.
Holding our funds on bitcoin ahead of the economy improvements or manipulations is a safe haven against inflations admitting that as the economy grows is the more recessions in the future where only valuable and potential assets with stronger market cap backed can help it.

What do y'all think about the forum "User Interface" were in the "LogOut" Dashboard doesn't support the feature of "LogOut Confirmation Dialog"?
Yesterday I mistakenly tapped on the "LogOut" and I got automatically logged out and was a process for me to get back access because I'm not really memorable with passwords which means I couldn't remember the password. But then, I had to go through the process of creating new password to regain access.
Well I'm not considering the state that I couldn't recall my password but the process of logging in back out of unexpected logout due to the system automation.

If the system had the "LogOut Confirmation Dialog", I'm sure it'd help curb some unnecessary situation like that of my experience. I'm probably sure other users may have had similar experience so, I'm literally not talking out of selfishness but considering other users. For error-proneness, the auto logout without confirming from the user could cause user (s) distraction on what they were up to in the forum before being logged out unconsciously.

[Given bitcointalk.org a shout]

Quite an ambitious and unverifiable discussion with a friend who has interested to use bitcoin but since I'm not going to be available guiding him all through, I thought of referring him here. He questioned about the forums reputation which took the discussion a bit extended to where I had to educate him about the essence of decentralized finance (bitcoin) and the creation of the platform by Satoshi Nakamoto including his disappearance and the administration structure.
He asked if Satoshi is still in the forum regarding his anonymity? And I told him NO based on his notable official account being inactive since 13 December 2010 but to be skeptic he might actually be watching across the activities of the distinguished digital and unifying World he has created in here probably with unsuspecion account to other usersy. This can be probable but not worth stressing about.

Let me use this medium to appreciate everyone with their collective efforts of this platform to help and educate others (each other) with their interests on exploring in the bitcoin industry and the crypto world.
I do really see a unified world here and I must confess it's certained that bitcoin is and would be the future unified currency. I fell a home with y'all beautifuls and kindnesses in this digital community, I'm indeed glad to be one of the beneficials using bitcoin. Of course the news of the bitcoin skyrocketed in the past few days now is everywhere which lot of us are rejoicing over our portfolios. Some are regretting, some are skeptic While some are coming in over the current price influence.
My indebtedness goes to the bitcointalk.org for giving me the privilege to this undeniable financial success and freedom because, this is where I was bred and acquired the great achievements.

[Here's the point I want us to discuss;]

This post isn't as the usual when asked if "Cash out or Not" because this player has already taken his decision by cashing out.
                                                       
A friend just shared his experience on the just concluded Real Madrid vs Al-Hilal FIFA Club World 2025 World Cup and called his move a smart one.
I believe he must have been following the game live before he could make this successful cashout in the odd time at "90" minutes otherwise I believe in the next second or minute the cashout would had been unavailable.
He said he wasn't concerned about the 3% profit made but glad he recovered his capital because he never saw the disappointment of Real Madrid coming earlier.
                                                       
As can see was a running game and Man City already delivered but Real Madrid almost fetched him total lost that would had ended him regretting if not he cashed out before the game ended.

Here's the point I want us to discuss; He said he was confident that Real Madrid will win the game because at the time he placed the bet Real Madrid had 1.40 odds with Al-Hilal on 13 odds. So the distance margin convinced him that Real Madrid would win while at last game ended 1:1.
Let me hear from y'all. What's your take on making decisions by team odds without considering their performance records?
I also want us to note that the bookmakers sometimes hide some teams strengths by making them feel like an underdog with higher odds strategies which I believe that caught my guy on trap.

[quality times and discussions]

Can't remember if I've made a thread here before, don't also know if this is the right board for this.
On my leisure with my phone getting on the forum while on the making of this thread and to engages on other interesting conversations with you fellow community users, I can imagine the live events/situations of other users in correspondence as interested of being here.
On the usual, I feel this premium entertaining and quality educative times spending within the community which maybe be strictly reading or joining conversation with others. Whenever I'm inactive in quite a long time that isn't my regular, I feel missing out those quality times and discussions with y'all.

Who can relate to this felling? Hit on comments.
Or theoretically, can you also expression the feelings with your staying in and out of this bitcointalk community?
I really feel a treasury family here!

This reply made by pooya87 on the thread is the catalyst that triggered my motion on this thread.
Now straight to base, let's say the utmost attraction of bitcoin is it hedge of value which is why the whalers are savings their assets in the blockchain and basically it resourcefulness of yielding incomes is also why we the retails are Investing on it which I take for self enrichment and not contributing to the global economy.

On the go, all we strives for while invested on bitcoin is to provide or secure funds that we could use to solve our daily life needs. Right?
Let's discuss; Of course bitcoin investors has always wished for the stock market to be inflated or get hit by recession and cause it investment decline so that bitcoin market could catch the attention of investors.
If this economic market have to breakdown as anticipating, hope we're aware of the destabilization it would cause in our societies in the same economic we lives when bitcoin purchase power flippened over the economy market significantly constant inverse? because as it's, not everyone is investing on bitcoin which means it'd be chaotic if only enthusiasts are potential buyers of the goods. Moreover the the price of the goods and services would be hiked too meaning we'll be spending more on the stock than in a lively economy.

Your opinion will be appreciated if you can contribute based on the thread title because it begin to feel like the speculation is forcing everyone to hold bitcoin while it's an alternative and besides life has been fair before bitcoin and still fair for lot of people not holding it.

For goodness sake and for how so long? are they using Ukraine and Russia for testing or craving war power that undermines values?

[live matches]

My biggest ever gambling strategy of keeping long term potential success is getting on the table(making your bet) on live matches most better as from the halftime out of the 90 Mins in the football game, then compare their odds in the realtime and how much long for the game to end.
There you'll have a more probability to win but due to odds dropping, the "payouts" value will be smaller, so you should be able to double your stakes while stand chances of collecting them profits gradually while maintaining to keep less (low) risks in the Short term after kickoff of the matches.
You just need not to be greedy of increasing your risks just to Increase your payout rate otherwise you'll lost it all back. So,  know when to stop.

How many of us knows about the story of the Saudi Arabian prince Al-Waleed bin who has been popularly known as the sleeping Prince due to his battling of life in the coma since 2005 as a cause of accident? Today marks his 36 birthday and it really feels so emotional to imagine someone living unconsciously for about 2 decades now without being recovered and not even a sign of improvement.
My sincere sympathy goes to his parents especially the father who could not afford to let go off him. I also wish the prince a divine recovery following the faith of his dad that he'll recover somedays.

Bitcoin is a corporative source of investment affair which in form partnership of all investors as the whalers and the shrimp investors.
It's in formative order that you earn a share of the profits based on your capital and how long you may hold your asset in the volatile general market where the value of the assets are scaled in a volatile pool.
That's why Dcaing should be every investors obligations as plans of increasing your percentage of profit at whenever you decides to opt out.
Considering this is why long term investment plans has been more favorable for investors but you'll be required to exercise patient and resist the negative implications of negative news so that, you don't sell at lost or missing out to earn big like some others who may hold longer at a price increase.
But due to deceptiveness, everyone is entitled to make their own decisions.

Would it feel like I'm bursting your bubble if I tell you Elon Musk the world richest man is your partner in the crypto market regarding that he own bitcoin in same bitcoin market as you with the fact that the price of bitcoin depends on the volume and values of it community users? Think it's a privilege?😁
Sure it's a one community race we all shares while value of individual holdings differs us.
