Put it this way.  Imagine btc goes to 1 million dollars.  Imagine people who got 5 btc from years ago even before the bitcoin talk that has been happening.  Isn't the issue when they go and send the btc to coinbase or gemini or kraken and even with a verified account, they will get asked questions?  The issue though is you don't want a lot of the btc frozen in your account when that happens.  So btc goes up a ton even more than now, everyone will have issues when cashing out then... assuming they didn't buy those specific btc from that specific exchange they want to convert the btc to fiat to right?


5  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: [GUIDE] How to Safely Download and Verify Electrum [Guide] on: March 08, 2024, 09:07:18 AM
A while back I downloaded electrum again on my older laptop and installed that GPG that you are talking about.  I no longer use that computer though.  So you are saying download electrum again from the official website on the new computer, then download GPG and do the same exact thing.


Then everytime there is a new electrum update, how do you check the new electrum update is real that takes less than a minute?


However, if you manually enter the electrum website on the address bar, then isn't it pretty much 100% the electrum you download is legit though?  Has there been even one case of electrum downloaded from the official site being fake?  And by that... I mean you manually type in the electrum website address on the address bar and click enter as oppose to going to google and clicking on electrum site which might not be electrum.  Also how often does electrum have an update these days?  Do most people typically wait a while after an update before you download the new electrum?

I don't have the seed phrase with me at the moment because I'm traveling.  So you should never do a firmware update without the seed on you correct?  The thing is I have heard of firmware failing and then you have to restore through the seeds.  The thing is I can continue using the ledger without any issue using the older nano ledger s plus firmware right? 



Okay so this new nano ledger s plus firmware only give option to use the thing you mention.  So most people using the nano ledger s plus is probably still using this older firmware version?

Well does the exchange freeze your account the moment you send a big amount of btc to your exchange account?  Or they might just ask questions only?  If someone never sends more than few hundred dollars at once or say 1000 dollars to their exchange account, but say they send 5 figures or even 6 figures to their exchange account because they want to cash out their btc that they held from a long time ago, does that usually happen?  Or the account gets frozen or get asked questions the moment you sell?  Or it's only when you cashout?


Like if someone only cashed out once or twice and it was for a few hundred dollars years ago.  Now they want to sell a big portion of their btc... let say someone wanted to sell 1 btc and let say its 50k usd to make it simple.  Would you say it's not safe for that person to send an entire 1 btc to their exchange account?  Or it's fine but don't sell that much at once?  But say they want to cashout to their bank account though.  I mean you don't want to wait because the price can go lower etc.



Or imagine someone who has a coinbase or gemini or kraken account.  Let say they have a verified account but never done a transaction ever though.  Say their account is verified and limits for deposits are 5k or 25k but either they never deposited or deposited 2k etc.  And say that person wants to cash out let say 5 btc that they held for a long time.  Say btc is worth 50k.  Say they got the btc from gambling or surveys or even working for btc years ago when it wasn't worth much.  How would that person send and cashout their funds to their bank account then without having their account getting frozen since they have no history in their exchange account of buying that much btc even though they are already verified with the exchange?  The big issue here is if they freeze your account, you obviously don't want to have more btc than you feel comfortable with when your account is frozen though. 



I mean can you ask them to send you more KYC before you sell and things like that?  I know the KYC they ask you typically for is your ID and possibly bank statement.  But the moment you want to cash out 5 figures and up, that is when they ask you for your employment history and things like that right?  The thing is well your income could be very low but if the reason why you have btc is because you got it when it was low price, well that is no issue right? 



The other issue is this.  If you get btc from gambling sites, well those gambling sites are sending btc to one person and receiving it from another.  But you should not have to worry about any tainted or fraudulent coins right?  I am sure many of you know gambling sites you deposit and withdraw crypto so any crypto you receive from the site is fine right?

I recall waves signed up a lot of people to be on their team.  Are those members still there?


The thing is I recall waves was talked about being big but do people here feel the same or not?


Also is everyone who owns waves still staking them for more waves?

The limits thing is a bit confusing.  So someone could send 5 or 6 or even 7 figures worth of btc to their coinbase account without any issue at all?  It's only when they withdraw to their bank account is when they will get asked questions?  Or it's when they are selling for firat?   


At first I thought if you send a lot of btc to your coinbase account, you would get your account locked and asked for more KYC.  So if someone wants to send their 5 btc balance from their hardware wallet to their coinbase account because they want to keep their btc in coinbase instead... is their account going to be locked because they never had that much money in their coinbase account?  Or it's only when they sell?  Or when they withdraw? 
11  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Cashing Out BTC in Exchanges Questions on: March 05, 2024, 11:33:00 AM
I recall coinbase and gemini showed daily and weekly and monthly limits.  I recall it was for deposits and withdrawals.  But what if you are sending btc from a hardware wallet or software wallet?  Surely there are limits for that?  Or it's only after your receive btc to your coinbase or gemini or kraken account, you might get flagged if you never received that much amount of btc at once?  Or it's only if you sell for fiat?


Like if someone who never sold more than a few hundred dollars of crypto once wants to finally sell a good amount of btc they have kept in their hardware or software wallet and want to sell, then they shouldn't send more than 4 figures even if they never did that once?  The thing is in the example I'm using.  Say someone held btc for a while and say they have 5 btc.  They want to sell 2 btc.  Say btc is 100k.  Well even sending 0.1 btc would get account locked?  So how in the world do people who are long term holders who never sold able to cashout without issues then?  The big thing here is a person who never sold would rather have their account frozen on the exchange with say 0.1 btc as oppose to 2 btc.  So that person should never send that much btc at once to the exchange?  Now imagine btc goes to 1 million dollars.  Now that person can't send more than 0.01 btc before getting flagged/frozen?  The issue is getting questioned and KYC isn't an issue but obviously you don't want your balance on the exchange to be more than you want it to be when that happens because I heard when there is KYC, it could take a long time.


So most people say you should do batches at once to build history then?  Why would anyone go to the non KYC route?  I'm confused with that route.  Don't most people go the regular KYC route?  Thus selling to coinbase, gemini or kraken?  Well as long as that person's btc is legit, why would one have to be concerned though?  In my example, I am talking about someone who is a long term holder of btc and their btc is legit and they earned it whether it could been from surveys, gambling or just being paid in btc etc.
12  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Cashing Out BTC in Exchanges Questions on: March 05, 2024, 11:12:11 AM
So if your coinbase and gemini and kraken account has already been verified, that isn't enough correct?  So that would be additional KYC?   The thing is if you are someone who bought from coinbase a long time ago when it was very low price and now sending btc to coinbase to sell, well they would have a history of you buying it from them years ago correct? Thus they wouldn't ask you KYC?



However, if you were someone that got btc years ago like from a gambling website or things like that or how some people get paid in btc, that would be completely different then right?  They would ask you for your occupation and things like that correct?   But what if you earned btc years ago from surveys from years ago or gambling website or got paid in btc years ago when btc price is low?  You tell them that and show them a screenshot of the wallet?  They could easily verify this on the blockchain right so they probably don't even need more information?  The thing is with how much btc price is going up, someone who is holding a long time could have 5 btc or even more etc.  



So say btc price goes to 100k.  Now say that person wants to sell 2 btc.  That person should never send 2 btc at once to their coinbase or gemini or kraken account correct?  Or that amount doesn't matter... it's the amount of btc to usd one sell each time?  Also that person probably doesn't want to send 0.1 btc once so many times because of the btc sending fees and because they might want to sell a set amount at a certain price. So that person should just send smaller amounts of btc to coinbase and sell it each time to build history then?  Or that person could send 2 btc to coinbase at once but then sell smaller amounts each time?  Like 0.1 btc one week, then a bit more the next week etc?  Then again that person doesn't want to do smaller amounts because if they do that, the price might go lower and they probably don't want to sell for less than the amount they want.  So what happens there?  So people who are long term holders and have their btc in their hardware wallet or software wallet and finally sends the btc to an exchange like coinbase or gemini or kraken and wants to sell 6 figures worth of btc is for sure going to get KYC?  There is nothing wrong with getting KYC but obviously that person rather get KYC when they send 0.1 btc to the exchange compared to say 2 btc etc.f
13  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: [GUIDE] How to Safely Download and Verify Electrum [Guide] on: March 05, 2024, 10:54:05 AM
When you download and verify electrum on your laptop, what happens when there is a new electrum update?  I currently do not have electrum installed on my windows laptop.  I haven't used electrum in a while and don't remember exactly what happens but you could still use electrum with the older version right?  Anyone know how old version of electrum you can still use before you have to download the newest version?  Also, once you downloaded and verify electrum on your laptop that one time... any new electrum version update downloads... you download from electrum site... but do you still have to verify it or not?  I forgot the answer to this.



Last time on another laptop, I downloaded electrum and verified it.  Then I haven't used it for a while.  Then I noticed there was many updates after that electrum so because of that, I didn't even open the old electrum.  But as long as you download from official electrum site... do you need to verify it though even if you have the verified electrum on your laptop downloaded from a while back?
14  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Nano Ledger S Plus Firmware and Ledger Live Update? on: March 05, 2024, 10:49:11 AM
So I just noticed the nano ledger s plus had a firmware update a few months ago.  I did not know this as I haven't connected my nano ledger s plus to my laptop in the last few months.  I have opened ledger live on my laptop though few times and updated ledger live the few times I noticed there was a new update.


At the moment, I do not have access to my seed phrase where I am located.  Thus you never do a firmware update when you don't have access to your seed phrase right?  I mention that I travel so because of that, I don't have access to my seed phrase.  So there would be no issue still using the nano ledger s plus as is right?
15  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is the best way to store your seed phrase? on: March 05, 2024, 10:45:09 AM
So the safe deposit box with seed in half in multiple banks with a passphrase probably still the best idea?
16  Economy / Speculation / Re: What happens if bitcoin price hits 6 figures and up? on: March 05, 2024, 10:44:24 AM
So there isn't an issue where if btc goes very high, like 6 figures and up and maybe even 7 figures... well there would be too many rich people and too much millionaires?


17  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What percentage of people claimed BTC Forks? on: March 05, 2024, 10:42:16 AM
Anyone else claimed the forks now as oppose to back then?  I know bch was the simplest one to claim.  I heard bitcoin gold was the other.  But what about bitcoin sv and other similar forks?
18  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Forks on: March 05, 2024, 10:41:24 AM
Anyone else claimed the forks?
19  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Cashing Out BTC in Exchanges Questions on: March 05, 2024, 10:41:03 AM
So what happens if people who are long term holders start cashing out decent amounts of btc in exchanges like coinbase or gemini or kraken?  Thus they send the btc from their wallet to their exchange account and then sell and these are for big amounts or amounts?  Now whether they kept their btc in their hardware wallet or electrum for a long time, there should be no issue right?


The thing is with btc price going up so much, well what happens if someone wants to sell an amount that is like 5 or even 6 figures worth of usd on coinbase or gemini or kraken?  Like imagine someone that trades btc for fiat and vice versa for hundreds of dollars but never sold for a long time because they just hold.  But now they want to sell a lot of btc that could be 5 figures worth of usd or even higher.  Do they have to be concerned if the exchanges freeze their account because they have never done a transaction like that before?  The thing is if someone is a long term holder, well they will have a good amount of btc etc.

So I'm sure lot of people are getting those phishing emails from fake ledger and things like that.  Now if you open the email, there is no issue right?  However, if you click on the link that is in the email, do you get malware or keylogger or virus? 


Now if you click on the link and close it, is your computer safe or not?  Heard mixed reviews on this.  Now if you have kaspersky or norton, would that remove anything on the computer?
