Bear market shred off weak companies even exchanges can go bankrupt or force closures due to not sustaining it well during bear season.

Do you guys remembered C-CEX? It closed and says that they are "hacked" which is an old fashion way to scam people. Users who have funds and asset there haven't been compensated, Basically a scam. Weak exchanges can be on the same direction, Time can tell when would they close. Actually there are exchanges now that are filling up for bankruptcy, one of them is Voyager Digital. Obviously they aren't ready for this kind of market or they can't sustain their platform features that's why they filled for bankruptcy.

Store your coins in you wallet and avoid using weak or relatively new exchanges. Exchanges are becoming popular due to it's survivability in the market.

I think it will affect bitcoin price in the time of release. I'm speculating that it will be affected short term but will bounce back to it's price. I can assume that there will be a sharp drop on price since there are many victims are now waiting for their coins to be released and sell into the market. I myself is waiting for the release and the sharp price drop since I'll be catching the bitcoin they are selling.

We've been there, Halos lahat naman ata tayo is nasa experience na ng ganyan scenario. This is why need natin mag set up ng take profit price targets para incase man na bumagsak yung price is profit padin tayo. If di ka sure na mag tatake profit ka kasi baka tumaas pa, Pwede mo hati-hatiin yung quantity ng coins mo para iba iba ang take profit price mo. Importante ang take profit at naranasan ko din yan experience mo in a hard way last 2017-2018 bull market. Inabot nako ng bear market bago ako nag take profit kaya yun almost breakeven lang ako that time. Sayang yung opportunity.

New crypto users now believe that non-custodial wallets is by far safest than those exchange wallets, It's been proven and believed by crypto enthusiast. On the bull market season, There is anm outstanding number of people who entered and learned about cryptocurrency. Hacks during bull market were significantly high and it makes people curious on how to protect their cryptos. Obviously with simple googling they found out that Hardware wallet is one thing to improve your coins security. This cause massive influx of buyers of hardware wallet. I remembered during the recent bull market, Hardware wallets in my country is having shortage that make sellers increase their prices by 1.5x and people still buying it.

I believe that if your assets worth is at least 10-15x than the cheapest mass produce hardware wallet (Trezor/Ledger) it would be better to buy and have one for the sake of peace of mind. I'm not saying that paper wallet such as electrum is bad actually it's good! but hardware wallet provide way better security.

This is why we need to be educated on how to use and take advantage of banks. Banks are helpful if we use it the right way, Banks provide benefits to their users such as loans, discounts, point system and other things that will let you benefit from them but this doesn't mean that we should put most of our money to them. We don't have full control of our money if it's on our banks, They can do anything like having our account froze, restrict our transactions or even worst just like what the china's banks are doing now. This is why we need bitcoin or cryptocurrency as a whole to set up our own bank and have fully control of our money.                 

True! This is why I do have separate telegram account for cryptocurrency, I created a separate one to filter out those spam messages. Telegram is a hotspot for scammers, I wonder if anyone fallen for this newer scheme of scamming. It's been a practice of mine not to tell anyone about my telegram that I'm using on crypto so any messages I will receive in my account is I consider them scammers since I don't interact that much on my telegram groups. I've seen many schemes over years and this scheme is relatively new to me. Scammers are evolving in different ways.

These are my results. I tried guessing my most post boards and I'm correct. I'm a gambler for years now and it's my number 1 guess, so yeah It's pretty expected that it gambling discussion will be on top, My second guess is my Local board Philippines, Back then I am pretty active there and I like posting there since I like using my native language and discuss with my fellow countrymen. Third is as you expect bitcoin discussion, I'm assuming that most of us have bitcoin discussion on the top of the list.

Today, I like spreading out my post on different boards and sections since our Local board is pretty inactive and bitcoin discussions having repetitive topics.

Please don't put yourself at risk. Do you have any reason why you want to try that kickex exchange over the exchange that is long running and has good reputation such as kucoin, binance, coinbase or ftx. Don't increase the risk of you using a new exchange unless you really want to try it or that is the only exchange that have the pairs you are finding. It's the first time I heard such exchange and I honestly won't even try signing up with them.

Reddit: I don't visit reddit neither have an account 

Bitcointalk: This is where I gather things up, See what's currently happening in the entire cryptocurrency space. I've learned things here and can personally label this forum as the most healthy threads in the entire cryptospace.

Twitter: I can mostly see insights, prediction and NFT's here when I open my twitter account dedicated for crypto. It depends on who you follow, There are many trolls here and a lot of meme whenever something big is happening to crypto.

Discord: I'm only visiting discord for me to check what's a certain project situation and announcements. It's easier cause it's sorted.  I don't spend much time in discord.

Telegram: I do visit telegram telegram groups for certain project questions. I also don't spend much time in telegram.

Yes! Recovery phrases are on those USB flash drives, I have multiple and I spread it on those sticks. I also added a layer of password that I myself only knew so that even if someone finds my usb flash drive, They can't access the seed/recovery phrases that easily. I have paper backup bundled on those flash drives I can access it incase I got into an accident that makes fall into amnesia. My instructions are designed to myself. I know I'm a bit tricky on my wallets but it's what I am.

I can say that I'm ready whenever a fire got into my house, If ever I got an amnesia, be victimized by a robbery or have floods in my house.

"We" might be pertaining to something but we can't deny that using "We" could be describe a group, an organization or multiple number of persons on the bitcoin project.

It's been how many years now that we are trying to decipher who Satoshi Nakamoto are. Every clues we find are validated and discussed but we are very far from knowing who is Satoshi Nakamoto. I think it would be good if we just wait for a miracle that Satoshi Nakamoto open his account again. I'm sure it will be grand!

People who are teaching about bitcoin and cryptocurrency are increasing lately, This could be the result of people finding the importance of the technology we have and it's advantages. Bitcoin and cryptocurrency have been dramatically increase it's popularity last bull run. Because of the price going up, People are interested in learning it and make profit over it's volatile aspect. We all know what lays in the future and you learning bitcoin and cryptocurrency will never be late.

Having a teacher to teach you is a great advantage but If you caught your interest in bitcoin without having anyone to teach you, Internet will be your best friend here. You can gain massive amount of knowledge about bitcoin in the internet and over in this forum, I'm sure that most of your question have a thread in this forum.

I'm a little bit late but yeah I have these few devices which consist of 1 ledger nano S, 1 Trezor one, couple of flashdrives.

I got my Ledger Nano S around 2017 as far as I remember, I acquired it from my friend who is a reseller of ledger in my country before. This is were I store majority of my bitcoins, There's no problem encountered in the past except for the physical connection because of the age of included cable.

I acquired the Trezor one during 2021 bull run, It was pretty new honestly. Plastic is still intact. I stored most of my altcoins here that I decided to keep for long term. This also become my wallet for NFT games such as axie infinity.

and I have couple of flashdrives, I have more actually. It's stored in safe places I know so if there's anything happened to my house like having my house burned on fire or robbery I will still have my keys on me.

One reason I bought another wallet (trezor one) is because of the insufficient memory capacity of my ledger nano S. I find it hard to store multiple coins in a single hardware wallet so I decided to buy Trezor one.

Oh I see Thanks to this, I've cleared my mind up to this anonymous thing. Didn't have any idea that it's theymos doing this.

I agree that spams would increase, This might be the reason we don't have such feature. Also unregulated posts such as threat will come more often I think. So yeah we should just stick on the current account system.

Upon browsing very old threads and marketplace deals way back when this forum is launched. I've seen this first time in this forum, I never know that there is an option before to be anonymous as is. 

I know that it's remove for various reasons and I speculate that it's removed due to inefficiency and to avoid outlaw post in this forum.
Will you agree if such feature were brought back to this forum?

I can see first time visitors, People who just have questions about his situation on crypto that don't want to create an account will be the one utilizing it. Instead of creating account for such single use and leaving it, They can use this anonymous feature.

I'm sure that this could be problematic since it attract spams in the forum but restricting them to post only into a newly created board such as [Anonymous posts](I imagine and invented the name) will sorta filter all those anonymous posts.

Probably add 2FA for additional security layer, Add Bitcoin and major altcoin price tickers

I've been here for a long time now and on the past years, captcha during log in become pain in the a** especially when you are using a mobile device. On desktop mode it's somehow fine with me but this is probably the one I will be removing or changing. Changing it to failed multiple login attempts then having a incremental cooldown would be sufficient.

Adding night mode would be enough I guess. If we need to be fancy, Adding such user-preferred color changing schemes would be nice just like what google chrome browser customize profile colors.

Using DCA strategy is for me a good strategy that is applicable on the market situation we have right now but If you know how to read charts, It would be better to take advantage of it and catch support or lower prices. We should learn how to maximize our profit in the future. I myself is doing a modified DCA strategy where as I do have the exact budget and time span when should I buy, It's basically a DCA strategy but the thing I modified is I'm trying to find the lowest price I can buy at my set time span since I can do research and read some charts.

Ngayon ko lang to nakita sa newsfeed ko. Bakit pa kaya sila mag lalagay ng ganyang terms na if mamatay ang ASJ members eh saka lang nila makukuha ang refund nila. Pwede nito ma bigyan ng idea yung mga ASJ investors para makuha refund nila, Especially if yung ASJ investor is gipit na or nag kalubog-lubog na utang or depressed dahil sa scam na yan. This is really alarming!!!

It's a P2P transaction, so it means there are option for buyer to pay. These includes several banks and other digital wallets that is available in your country. In my case, I use Gcash a digital wallet which is connected to your phone number. All of the transactions happened into the app, will be notified on your phone number. For example The buyer sent me $100 on my digital wallet, I will be notified on my phone number that there are someone who sent me $100. Scammer take advantage of this by sending text messages to my phone number without having real transaction. This is why I have a habit now of checking my Digital wallet app every time I have a transaction for me to verify it.

+1 to this!

Wag na wag mag force invest sa crypto na gamit ang pera na nakalaan sa ibang bagay or bayarin. Also ang savings ay advisable na wag muna iinvest because if anything happened bad, Pwedeng mapull out niyo ang crypto investment niyo at a possible loss.

I strongly agree sa number 1, even without budgeting para bumili ng crypto. It's wise to avoid buying things na hindi mapapakinabangan or hindi kailangan. I've been on that situation at ang ending is ibinenta ko almost lahat ng "wants" ko. It's good to be financial literate sa mga panahon na gaya nito.
