For me, I pray to see Bitcoin at $11,000 or even $13,000. I will be able to accumulate more Bitcoin and receive more satoshis from my salary.

I know if there are deeper falls, there are more victims who over leveraged or over gambled. However, it is their faults and don't blame their faults on the market. Even if there are bull runs, there are still gamblers who will die by gambling (shorting with high leverages).

The victim is just lazy. With Google, search, and a few minutes of reading, he can create a wallet. It is not too difficult.

Don't deposit money to a wallet that you don't create it offline, by yourself. If you share or leak the wallet seeds to anywhere, anyone, you should abandon it. Create a new wallet and deposit money to a new one.

Can't say. Naively and easily, you can say the friend is the scammer but no proof to support that. Because the victim can do other stupid things that leak private keys later. Anyway, $100 is a cheap learning fee fortunately.

Avoid to use cracked softwares, rooted devices if you want to be safe completely.

If you buy an used (second-hand) phone from official stores, it should be tested and you will be able to buy a good one (not rooted). Of course by this you still depends on the checking of that store.

I don't say you must buy a new phone to be safe because I know each person has different budget.

Hello everyone!

• The distribution process of Metax tokens is now complete by the corresponding team. Thank you for participating in the reward campaign.
• If anyone still has any queries, feel free to ping @Rkeiths1606

• Centralized and decentralized
• Censorship and non-censorship
• Rely on banks or Be your own bank (with your keys)[/i]
  

Above are very basic differences between Banks and Bitcoin. Also remember some centralized platforms even don't actually give you services with which you actually buy and hold Bitcoin but many people think they spend money to buy real Bitcoin.

You are an investor and hold Bitcoin as an asset for your investment portfolio.

You don't actually trade but you can check and choose good platforms (security, daily trading volume, taker/ maker fee, withdrawal fee and reputation) for later use when you want to sell your Bitcoin to take profit.

Two basic rules

• Use non custodial wallets. You did it already
• Never store all your money, exclusively Bitcoin, in a single wallet. Whatever that wallet is (your non custodial or custodial wallet on exchange), split and store it in different wallets

2FA is helpful but it is never a silver bullet.

Depends on how you install (where) your 2FA app, where you save your 2FA backup code and same for email password, email 2FA.

If you log in all accounts on same device, store backup, install 2FA application on the same device as well, its usefulness decreases a lot.

Things must happen naturally. Just like education, when you force someone to learn, pay course fee for them, most of them don't have interest to learn and even if they have to go to class, join online courses, they don't actually learn proactively. It's not effective, waste of money and time.

The awareness and adoption of Bitcoin increases with each halving and consequent bull run.

The increasing adoption occurs by proactively activities (education, social media seeding, etc.) and natural activities that you can not stop.

Where are these users from?

Rarely it is real question from real newbies. Mostly it is not from newbies, just alts.

• Newbies - Read before posting
• [Guide] Searching effectively
• Even don't have to search, just visit some boards and pay attention on sticky (pinned) threads
  
  • [Bitcointalk sticky threads] Newbies - read before starting.

Imagine if they let their accounts hacked, they would easily let their emails hacked as well. The main causal reason is they are very careless when surfing on the Internet, on social media, via messenger applications, emails, and so on.

So adding the email verification does not make much sense.

There has been many request for 2FA but it won't be implemented in SMF forum (this one). It can be done in the new forum software (Epochtalk) but that new software has yet been completed.

If you already invested and if you used your own money for that investment, the easiest way to overcome a bear market are  

• Withdraw your Bitcoin to your wallet (non-custodial)
• Forget about it in next 2 years
• Prerequisites: your own money; no pressure to sell your coins for daily expenses; do research and know how long past bear markets usually last

With altcoins, except Ethereum and BNB, I don't recommend to hold any altcoin in bear market.

Then you should sign a Bitcoin message and stake it on the forum. It is an ownership proof and later you might need it to recover your account.

• How to sign a message?!
• Stake your Bitcoin address here

This practice forces you to use a non custodial wallet that is good too.

If you are not whales, buying Bitcoin directly and hodl it, wait for profit is better than mining it.

Because if you want to mine it with ASICs, you must buy those devices, find electricity sources should be cheap, locations for your farms, etc. There will be more things for operations, maintenance, etc. It requires big initial capital, time to operate and you must wait months to get your initial capital back. That is not good for small miners.

When you need money instantly, you can not sell your ASICs and other devices instantly to get money. If you buy and have Bitcoin, you can sell it instantly.

Buying and holding Bitcoin give you more flexibility.

What is the "Change" address on bitcoin wallet ? read to know !

It starts with choosing a good wallet to use. A good wallet is non custodial that gives you private key and full control of keys and coins as well as Coin Control feature. With Coin control feature, you will be able to use Change address or not but the default setting should be "Yes".

Some platforms allow you to use Change address too but they provide you non custodial wallet.

It is part of achievements from the global trip of Changpeng Zao months ago, around the collapse of Terra in May. Philippines is one of destinations in his global business trip.

Binance knows that bear market is very good opportunity for them to expand their customer population and build up reputation. When weaker exchanges and competitors have troubles, they will take advantage of it to grow more, with less competition and less spent budget for the business deals.

Spending money for education is never wrong.

Not only Blockchair.com explorer has that feature, others have, such as blockstream.info.

When you check 'your' transaction privacy, use Tor. If you don't use Tor, you self-break your transaction privacy.

Yes it makes sense. In addition, always use change address is another good advice.

However, if you don't use round amount but later consolidate leftovers into one transaction, it is a bad practice.

Very good to know that your team have detailed criteria to manage it appropriately. It will boost local boards with high quality resources and better engagement in educational discussions.

Sure. It happens everywhere and merit is for good contribution and good quality posts. If they make good things, they deserve to receive merit.

Many educational topics about Bitcoin in [GUIDES] on Bitcointalk. Index thread.

There is a section for Bitcoin and if you want to learn more (altcoins, security, forum issues), there are topics about that in the compilation as well.

Password for your wallet file is fine. It will help you to get access to that wallet and then private keys.

However, I would like to ask

• What is username?
• Do you imply about the file name of your wallet file?

If what you have is a wallet file and corresponding password to unlock that file, you will be able to access all private keys in that wallet.

If you lost your wallet password, you can't access private key. Then you will need private keys (from your backups) to import that wallet and use it again.
