Point of owning a hardware wallets is not to make it more easy to store bitcoins (after all software wallets are more convenient for everyday use) but rather to make your bitcoin more secure. Advantage of hardware wallets is that private keys never leave the device so even if you download malware on your PC, attacker still won't be able to steal your bitcoins while same can't be said about software wallets.

Logical answer would be "they will definitely learn their lesson once they lose their money on one of those platforms" but then again I know some people that have money stuck on both Celsius and FTX and still hold considerable amount of crypto on Binance. 

While I agree that Exodus shouldn't be used for cold storage, are you sure that its a web wallet? I have never used it, but my understanding is that its a non-custodial wallet (albeit crappy one imho) and not the web wallet where you don't have access to your keys like for example blockchain.com.

Since your post doesn't make much sense, I have a few questions for you:

1. First you say that you have $125k stuck but then you go on about putting $75k of your own money. Care to explain where exactly you put that money?
2. Who is asking you to pay $15k? Share some links pls.


This is just my guess based on your confusing post, but it looks like you are being scammed by one of those sites that ask you to send money in order to be able to withdraw.

Same to you bud. Btw, my username is Rikafip


Well there's only 5 questions (not counting tiebraker) so no surprise that we don't have many different answers.


Don't sell yourself short, you have no idea who are you playing against as my track record so far hasn't been great either. This is going to be clash of the titans. 

I am using it on the daily basis and I haven't noticed that Twitter stopped operating since they fired big portoion of their stuff meaning they probably had bunch of people not doing much anyway.  


You really think that someone who has ~$200 billion cares sbout few millions of dollars that he can make by pump & schemes? He is not doing it for the money, he is simply doing it for the lolz. Don't get me wrong, I am not fun of Musk at all but I think that people  are giving him way more attention that he deserves, and that's exactly why he is doing all this crap.

In other news, Doge logo has been removed from Twitter and naturally price went down instantly.  

Hm from what I understand, that tree of yours can in the best case scenario be correct only for the 2nd round because after that it will be again random draw.


Nothing yet, waiting for Trofo to publish the official draw.

Kudos for the effort, even if it isn't correct.  


Is at least Round 2 draw correct as I was trying to figure out who I am playing against in the next round and according to @CLS63 it should be against arralmuus?

Were those posts maybe written in one of the ANN threads? I am asking because we have a couple of members (and afaik one mod) that are regularly clearing altcoins section from thread bumping shitposts written years ago when this thing was popular, so your posts might got caught in their reproting spree.

Problem with majorify of those "decentralized exchanges" is that they are not really decentralized. Good example of that is Pancakeswap that is based on highly centrazlied BSC so how decentrazlied it can be in the end? In the same time, truly decentralized Bisq has only ~$100k daily volume so it makes it very costly to buy/sell any bigger amount of bitcoin.


I don't see that happening in foreseeable future as people prefer convenience and sense of (false) security over everything else.


I am using centralized exchanges from time to time but I am not keeping anythin there for more than a couple of days, fully knowing that every time I send my money there it might be the last time I see it.

@Hhampuz

I don't know if anyone else noticed or reported it, but Sr Member and Hero/Lege signatures are kinda messed up and missing some parts on mobile browsers. I checked Mozilla, Brave, Chrome, Opera and Safari and all are more or less screwed up. Anyway, thought that you maybe want to look into it.

This below is from Mozilla. Chrome, Opera and Brave look pretty much the same.




This is from Safari and as you can see, Sr Member looks even more messed up than on the other browsers.

That's my plan too, but let's see if your luck is stronger than my jinx. 


Meh, the last thing I did before submiting my responses was to change it from draw to Juventus. My gut feeling was saying "draw" and I answered accordingly but then I decided to take another look at their form and changed the answer. Lesson learned, sometimes you just have to trust your gut.

You forgot to mention by far the best practice to avoid downloading fake apps and it is to avoid Google Play completely and instead download apps directly from developer's website. I know that its more convenient to use Google Play, but losing your concentration for a second might make you download the fake app so why even take that chance.



Don't be so judgemental as it can happen to anyone, even to the most experienced people as all it takes is one moment of losing your concentration and money is gone. I know a guy who is in crypto profesionally for 7+ years, yet he managed to lose $100k by connecting Metamask to some scammy website just because he wanted to do something quick before going out. Even better example is the well known Bitcoin developer Luke Dashjr who recently got hacked and lost 200+ BTC and guy knows more about security than 99.99% of us here.

BestChange, (ako se ne varam) druga najduza trenutno aktivna kampanja na forumu ima jedno slobodno mjesto za Sr/Hero/Lege.



U ostalim vijestima, nastavlja se borba za najbolje placenu kampanju na forumu jer je Royse povecao isplate za Sinbad te se tako moze zaraditi do $150 tjedno sto ju izjednacuje sa whirlwindom.

I checked him out a little bit and it looks like he has a podcast called UpOnly. I noticed something interesting on his older videos and that's FTX banner so maybe he is butthurt about FTX going down and he blames CZ for that.


Well, what he shared wasn't really prediction but rather a statement ("Interpol Red Notice for CZ") so unless it happens very soon it means that he was just bullshitting. Unfortunately, no rumour or FUD will make majority of people moving their money out of Binance.

As far as I know, users from other countries/regions also got the same email so I think that its too early to celebrate, especially since we know that billions of dollars are still missing so chances of people getting all of their money back are slim.

Just follow slackovic and you are good to go. At least that's what I will start doing from now on.  



Tbh it looked complicated to me as well (I also joined late) when I just skimmed over that text in the first post, but then I actually took like 10 minutes to read the rules and it turned out to be pretty simple and straightforward. I am sure that you will be fine if you just give it another try.

He gave you the corect link, that's the only bitcointalk Discord server and if you checked it you would see that one of the bitcointalk administrators (Cyrus) created it. Me and bunch of other members are there, but its not as active as it used to be.

While you can simply avoid being elected as DT1 by keeping your Trust list at default so you are not eligible, the more feedbacks you leave higher the chances of others including/excluding you in their list which can result in you ending in DT2 whether you want it or not.

Mobile phone wallets are one of the least secure ways to store your crypto and it should be only used as a hot wallet due several reasons; first, mobile phone (especially android based ones) are prone to malware attacks and 2nd, you open yourself to a $5 dollar wrench attack.


If mobile phones are one of the worst places to store your crypto, then exchanges (and other centralized platforms) are the worst possible place. You are playing a very dangerous game if you think that your bitcoin is safe there after everything that has happened lately and milions of people losing their money because they used exchanges as banks (which they obviously aren't). After all, its far cheaper to learn from other people's mistake than from your own.
