I'm curious but are most of you US customers or non US customers?  I'm curious to hear from those who are US customers.


So celsius you could withdraw a good amount only if the money or coins you had was not in their earn program so to speak?  Thus if it wasn't earning that 12% interest, you could withdraw up to 80% of the account... even now?


The other ones... it didn't matter if the balance was fiat, crypto or in an earn account, nobody got anything back?  But if they send in proper documentation, they did or didn't?  How much percentage did they get back?

So what exactly happens if you click on the link but don't enter your seed phrase or connect your trust wallet?


Is it possible just doing that could get your trust wallet or any wallet hacked on your laptop?  Say you have electrum in your laptop.  Is it possible just clicking on a link can cause your electrum account to be hacked?  What about a virus or malware?  What about a keylogger?  What about it turning on your laptop camera?



I heard if you click on a link, unless you type in the seed phrase or open the program or file, then nothing happens?  Or is that not true?  I read a while back it had something to do with as long as you don't open an exe file, then you are okay?  Or not?

What exactly happens if you click on verify your wallet?  Do you have to enter your trust wallet seed or it ask to enter that?  So if you don't do anything, are you safe or is clicking the link mean your trustwallet would get hacked?  What about malware or virus or keylogger on your computer?

I am talking about a case for the nano ledger s plus for protection.

I checked LUNC the original terra luna.  It's worth $0.0001?  So basically 1% of 1 penny?



USTC the original terra luna stable coins is around $0.05 so it lost 95% of it's peg?



So if you were to buy any of these 3 coins, only buy LUNC or USTC and avoid the Terra Luna (Luna 2.0)?  It shows Terra Luna is about $0.80 but it doesn't mean 80 cents or it does?  So if you buy 100 LUNA now, it's worth $80?

Yes the thing is the amount of people who own btc and buy or sell it is very low.  However, if there becomes too many millionaires out there... like with btc going to 7 figures... how would this affect inflation?  How would this affect people who don't own crypto?


So prices won't soar for living costs then like an extreme amount?  Like people keep saying if btc goes to 7 figures... milk cost $25 etc.  That would never happen unless you are talking about many many years later? 


The thing is what if btc goes to say 5 million dollars and let say it was to happen not very long from now.  So rent and living cost wouldn't skyrocket since it's still a small percentage of people who buy and sell crypto?  I was thinking imagine someone who is a crypto millionaire and let say they are worth a lot... let say they are worth $10 million dollars.  And say their crypto now is worth $5 million since they sold a decent amount.  Obviously you want crypto price to go up, but in a way wouldn't they want it not to go up so much though?  Since if they do, sure they might now be worth $50 million but so many people who were no longer millionaires might be worth $5 million?  Or is that not a concern for these people?  So use an extreme example.  Someone worth 100 million due to crypto.  Say they own still $50 million worth of crypto.  Do they really want crypto to 10x?  Sure they would be worth hundreds of millions but now there would be many more millionaires?

Why are target prices and especially resistance level terms that people use so much?  What is the point of saying target price unless you are going to buy or sell btc at that price?  Or is that what people mean by the target price?


When you have people talk about overcoming the resistance level of 22k and things like that.  Then talk about how there will be a barrier at 24k.  Are people just randomly spewing stupid numbers out there?  First off, are people just randomly pulling numbers out whether it's 22k or 33k?  And why those numbers?  It gets even more foolish when there is talk about resistance level at 32700 when say btc price is 31200.  Is there a big difference between saying the resistance level at 32700 or 32900?  Why not just say 33k? Then again why not say 35k?  So if it passes the resistance level of 33k, then there is no talk about it anymore?  Well it eventually will go back down to 25k and then there will be talk and gossip about will it hit the target or resistance level of 27k.  Does anyone here find this just stupid or pure garbage?  I mean btc has hit 27k and 33k many times and went back down and went back up.  To me, unless you are talking about the all time high or close to it, what's the point of all this nonsense?  Now the same can be said about altcoins but this talk always seem to be about btc and eth and the top coins.


 
When there is talk about these target prices or resistance levels in the news or threads about it here... it seems stupid.  Like when btc went above 20k and then went really fast above it to 22k.  People say wow it went over that 20k level so fast.  The same when it went to 30k and then 33k.  But it then went down all the way to 15k etc.  Is this just all gossip or pure garbage discussion?  Or is there something I'm missing here?  I have no issue when people ask will btc hit 50k again or the all time high or higher.  But when they say anyone here think it will have issues at the resistance level at 27k, then there are lot of replies about it... it just seems foolish.  I mean is there really a difference between going past 27k compared to 28k?  This talk makes it sound like it's a video game like when you played as a kid saying oh this level x boss is very tough so level 27 boss is tough but the 28k boss is much easier.  Yet these are just numbers and people making it seem like certain numbers are tougher to reach?  Then it reaches it again many times and goes back down many times and you hear this discussion yet again.  Now if I'm wrong here, can someone explain to me what I am wrong here about?  Unless you are trading actively, all this is basically just useless noise right?

Okay so the name of the stablecoina associated with waves is usdn or neutrino and it's worth $0.09 now.  Has it been that way for a long time?  So it isn't going to recover then right?


However, can waves still go up a lot in price or not anymore?

How much is the original terra luna worth now compared to back then?  Is it still called terra luna and the original one?  What about the terra usdt coin that lost it's peg from 1.00.  How much is it now and is it still that terra usdt?  Or is it a different name in terra classic usd?



So did anyone who owned terra luna or terra usdt... the original 2 coins lost everything or the coins still exist but it's worth 1% or whatever it is now?



I was confused reading about it because I remember the issue people said was something about having to burn coins so if terra luna goes up, terra usdt has to go down and lose it's peg or vice versa.  So what exactly happened there?

So I know gemini earn still hasn't paid back any of their customers.  I remember gemini earn was one of the most trusted because they were gemini but with the issue with genesis, any customers who had GUSD earning interest still hasn't gotten their money back.


What about blockfi, nexo and Celsius?  I'm curious if many Americans had money there and did that to earn the 12% interest and if so, did they pay them back?  I remember they didn't allow certain US states or if they banned all US customers.  But I remember early on, they did allow US customers. 


Also anyone with money with FTX whether US or non US still hasn't gotten paid back right?  So whether it was crypto or FTX tokens or whatever, nobody got paid back?  But they will eventually?  Were there coins that people put in FTX where they earned a lot of interest similar to Celsius or like gemini earn?  Or there wasn't?

Then nano ledger s doesn't have a battery.  You are correct here.  So the issue is a screen issue.


But does the nano ledger s plus have any screen issues?  Have there been any reports of this?  I haven't read any but curious if there has been any?

Yea I'm aware the more poorer the country you are in, the less btc you would need.  For example someone with 10 btc even can't retire on that in the US.  If someone has 5 btc, that is more than enough in many poorer countries.


The thing is for people who don't own any crypto, would btc going up to 6 figures affect them though?  Like would inflation go through the roof with btc went up to 6 figures?  Let say btc went up to 1 million dollars.  Many people would be millionaires but not really since after taxes, they wouldn't be.  But someone with 2 btc would be a millionaire even if they pay say 50% taxes.


The thing is if it gets to 1 million dollars, wouldn't there just be way too much millionaires though where being a millionaire is no longer the same?  I mean there been lot of millionaires due to crypto but if btc goes up to mid 6 figures and 7 figures, well that would be way too many millionaires right?

Okay so earphone cases are not that good because it can't stand the pressure.  But would it protect the nano ledger s plus though?


Again they sell many of these cases on amazon but the issue is the supplied you buy from would have your name and address even though it ships from Amazon.  Then the amazon worker who puts the case in the box for packaging would know since crypto obviously is well known now.  Like okay so this person and this person's address ordered a nano ledger s plus from amazon or a nano ledger s plus case from amazon so that means they most likely own crypto and possibly a lot.  So wouldn't this bother people?

Yes I know about the ledger hack a while back.  The thing is was there a document that literally showed every person's full name and address as well?  I know the email was revealed but wouldn't that mean if you reaad that document and say you look at the names of people, you could easily find people you know that owns one especially if it shows their full name and address?  Say you know what state they live etc but of course there could be lot of people with the same name.  But if it shows their full name and address, it wouldn't be that hard to look up that person's information online and once you see how old that person is, well you can pretty much know who that person is then?  But of course you have no idea if they bought a ledger wallet just to hold $100 or a lot of money.  Or if they buying one just as a gift to someone etc.  But does that document exist where you can look at everyone's name who bought a ledger or not anymore?  Obviously if you know the name of the youtube crypto people, obviously their name and address will be on the list?


Okay so over 1 million email addresses were leaked but 250,000 addresses were leaked.  Did anyone here find their address or email leaked?  Obviously email isn't as bad as address but that still is bad.

So I mentioned I do play on gambling sites but these sites don't all primarily use crypto as deposit/withdraw method.  They use ewallets like skrill etc.


I am already KYC with them a while back with my US passport and with my non-US utility bill in the abroad country that I'm in and I have no issues playing or depositing or withdrawing.


I wanted to know if there are any crypto sites that I can sign up for while outside the US where this would not be an issue.  The reason being lot of these crypto sites seem to not accept US citizens correct?  So even though I'm a US citizen but I'm abroad and have a non US utility bill, would that be enough to play there?  The thing is I don't want to deposit crypto and play there and only when I withdraw, they say even though you are abroad and have a non-US utility bill that you stay at, well because you are a US citizen, we won't pay you out whether it's your winnings or even your original deposit balance.  So wanted to know are there any sites like that. 

The people that say storing your seed broken in 2 parts and doing 2 copies of it and thus in 4 different bank safe deposit boxes is bad, explain how that is bad?  The thing is if something happens to your seed phrase in one of these safe deposit boxes, you still have 1 copy of the other half of the seed in another safe deposit box.  Now if something was to happen like a natural disaster, well you would be notified of this issue correct or know about it?  But the thing is if your other 3 banks where the safe deposit boxes are is close to that bank, that is another issue.


The other thing is say the government or IRS were to seize your safe deposit boxes which I heard does happen but that is if you owe money to the IRS.  Well if you have a passphrase which would be on say a password manager on a usb flash drive and on the cloud, well they would also need that as well.  Since having the seed phrase without the passphrase doesn't do anything.  You also keep a copy of your seed phrase in your apartment whether it's in 1 piece or 2 pieces.  The thing is you make sure you don't have your passphrase written on paper.


So you could have your passphrase in a password manager and that could be in say 2 usb flash drives and say you gave 1 of the usb flash drives to someone you know and trust.  You keep 1 in your apartment.  You also have the password manager saved to the cloud.  So whether the governement or IRS or even bank employee got access to your safe deposit boxes, they still need the passphrase.  The person you trust who you give the usb flash drive to... well first off they need the password to the usb flash drive.  Even if you didn't put a usb flash drive password, they have to know what your password manager is.  Now obviously if they got that and got access to your apartment, then they would be able to access your crypto but they have to figure out your password are in the usb flash drive.  So there could be 1 or 2 passwords for them to crack.  Now if the government searched your home and got your usb flash drive, they still have to crack the password for the usb flash drive... which I assume they could do easily right?  However, how are they going to crack the code to your password manager password to access your passphrase if your passphrase is something like m1fsoadfldsajfdasfnbfjsajfjpdsf029390213fnsakjhjlwooa.  They certainly aren't going to crack that right?  But this is assuming you have a problem with the IRS or whatever which most people do not have that problem.  Now they can access your cloud email and probably crack your google drive password right if they wanted to?  What if it's a ridiculous password like above?  Now even if they get in, what about your long password manager password?  Unless it's something really silly where brute forcing can get into it, wouldn't the safe deposit boxes and passphrase be the ideal method?  I remember it was said the Winkletwins have their seed phrases in different safe deposit boxes across different continents if not mistaken?

With how inflation is, someone that makes 6 figures in the US isn't even that much money if you live in a very expensive state like California.  Also having 1 million dollars would not be enough to retire in the US these days unless you live in certain states and assuming you have no job.  Seems like you need 2 or 3 million dollars in the US for someone to retire so to speak if they have no other forms of income and you could live off the interest.  Now if you are living in a poor country,l having 1 btc is a lot of money already in some places.  But in most 1st world countries, 1 btc isn't much at all.  



Now if btc hits 6 figures, the btc sending fees will 100% go up correct and by a lot?  Or would it actually go back to lower fees like $0.25?  The other thing is if btc goes up to 6 figures and beyond, would that mean the cost of rent and food and everything will rise as well or not?  Yes there is inflation and it has been going up much faster the last few years compared to years ago.  If btc hits 250k, would that mean bread would cost $10?  Always heard people say if btc goes up really high, things like coffee would cost $25 seems ridiculous but are they serious?



The other thing I thought of was this.  If btc hits 6 figures and goes to say 250k or even 500k usd, well that would mean there would be quite a lot of new millionaires out there compared to now since you still need a sizeable amount of btc to be a millionaire.  I know there has been many millionaires due to crypto but for most people, it's hard if you don't have much savings to buy btc the last few years.  Now if someone owns 1 btc, and btc goes to 1 million dollars, would there be a concern for people who own more than 1 btc... let say they own 3 btc to make it simple... now that there are way too many millionaires so just too many rich people?  Or if btc goes to 1 million dollars, that means having 3 million dollars is no longer enough to retire on in the US anymore?  Would that make the number then say 6 million?  So after taxes, let's say you get between 2/3rd to 1/2 the amount.  If btc hits mid 6 figures or low 7 figures, would it mean everything would increase so much in terms of living cost and everything so people who have a net worth of 2 million dollars after tax selling btc wouldn't be able to live off the interest?  

Well they did guarantee that before all the negative things happened.


So no gemini earn people got their money back yet right?  So there has to be people that might have put everything into it because it was giving like almost 7%?


What about the people who got like 11% with blockfi, nexo, celsius etc?  Did those customers get paid or not? 

Well I mean a best buy employee would know you have crypto if you buy a hardware wallet at the store if they are the cashier.  I mean that person won't know your name if you pay in cash but you still probably wouldn't want anyone to know you own crypto right?  Imagine that person lives near you or the same area as you which is likely if they work there.


When you are buying a nano ledger from ledger, yes ledger knows your name and email address.  The thing here is there are so many people around the world buying these things so unless they do research on a person's name, they can't really know if they have a decent amount of crypto or not.  It could be someone just buying a ledger who has 100 dollars or so.   The other thing is they won't know how that person would look unless they check their facebook or something and do research?  I mean a ledger employee could write down 10 names they packaged the ledger to... but the issue is lot of these people are ordering it internationally.  So if you are from the US...the person who packages your ledger isn't going to look at your address and be familiar with it compared to them shipping it to someone else in the same country as France.  Does that make sense?  So a ledger employee wouldn't really care about someone from say US even probably unless that name is some youtube person maybe? 

Well if I'm abroad what the KYC they would ask me for is my US passport right?  However, what about my address?  If I have a non us address utility bill, that is fine right since well I'm outside the US and not using a vpn?  I mean there is no point of me sending a US bank account as a utility bill right because I'm not in the US and also my IP address will show that?


So for gambling sites I play on when outside the US... I'm not talking about crypto betting sites, I have no issue playing there because I have a non US utility bill that I use because that is where I stay at when outside the US.  But with crypto sites, will there be an issue?  Would it be better sending them KYC first with my US passport and my non US utility bill and once it's good, then I can play and withdraw without any issues in the future?  Thus I want my account to be clear for withdraws before I even deposit.  Does that make sense?  Do sites allow you to do that?  I know many gambling sites... noncrypto would allow you to deposit into the site but once you request a withdraw, they ask for KYC.  Again I have no issue with KYC but any issue with being an American but abroad is my question.  There is no issue with that on non crypto gambling sites I play on.  And when I say non crypto gambling sites... I mean sites that don't allow betting amounts to be in crypto.  Some of these sites do allow crypto as deposit/withdraw... but everything is in usd if you know what I mean?


I have no intention of using a vpn while abroad.  If I was in the US, I have no intention of using it abroad.  The thing is I'm abroad outside a lot so the address I would use would be a non US address so would that be an issue with these crypto sites?
