Ledger self-destroyed its reputation with time from many data breaches and bad products like Ledger Recover, and now a hack on their Discord.
As a company that provides hardware wallets for user fund safety, security should be main concern from Ledger in product development, test, launch and operation as well as maintenance later. Ledger reputation is actually affected by security incidents like this one. It results in less trust on Ledger company with time and more security accidents.
After all Ledger was no longer a recommended hardware wallet to use especially there are many available better hardware wallets.

I think it’s the opposite. People who often sell their bitcoin hodlings early lack courage, they panic sell their bitcoins out of fear(FOMO). Unlike the early days, the value of bitcoin is no longer debatable. The world has come to recognize the potential of bitcoin as an asset and store of value. Despite all this, greed and fear play a key role in how people approach bitcoin investment.
True investors would have enough research about Bitcoin and its market so that they have enough information about Bitcoin market cycle and how it, at least so far, always makes new all time high in a new market cycle, will be very less likely panic. It is because of their knowing that after a bear market, Bitcoin will not only recover from bottom but also will reclaim ATH of a past cycle and even break out for making new ATHs. So there would be no fear of won't be able to sell at an ATH from which price was pulled back. You know early that if you have enough belief and patience for holding, you will not get loss but will get good profit.

2040 is so far and that's about 15 years from now hence that price is so possible for Bitcoin to be worth. In the next decade we should be selling one Bitcoin more than 1 million because if Bitcoin is increasing on a steady increase after every halving, it should be able to be worth more than 500k by the next Bitcoin halving and when that double that's about a million next. Many people will be thinking a million is too far for it to be able to achieved but that's not a far price for Bitcoin.
It seems to be too far if you start from now and imagine about 15 years later but if I inform you about a big fact that Bitcoin has been here for 16 years already, what do you think? Time flies very fast and 16-year existence of Bitcoin is a strong example for this fact from which you can learn from the past and make your plan for future. Your account was created 3 years ago and I believe that if you look back, you would feel it like yesterday. 15 years is five fold of such period, and I am sure it will come very quickly. Another example is Covid-19 that is like yesterday with me but in fact it was almost six years ago. Understanding about it and Bitcoin controlled supply, you can make your investment plan better than many other people. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Controlled_supplyEquivalent network time.

That's actually like trading shitcoins during a bull market when everything is surging and there a high probability that plebs will FOMO. "Buy first, do your research/due diligence later".  But that's a bull market when it's easy to win and plebs have "some" edge over newbies. But there's no bull market in sports-betting. Therefore the "edge" is non-existent and the chance of winning depends on luck. It happened in previous market cycles, with bull runs many newbies joined and had easy times to have massive profit. Getting it too easily makes new participants feeling they were like genius investors or traders while they did not know that nightmare was waiting months ahead. When a market cycle comes to the end especially after bull market completed, it turned to bearish many months later and it was nightmare time for many people. It's more terrible experience and horrible months for newbies who basically don't have any sort of basic knowledge and plan for capital and risk management. Massive profit from bull run will easily and quickly disappear in a bull market and it's time for hard lesson to be learned. Meme coins made a lot of noise in this market cycle but meme coin enthusiasts will mostly witness a next bear market with painful lessons.

This is not entirely true. Not all bitcoin pumps are a result of global news, and not every global news affects bitcoin. The Pope selection has nothing to do with the recent pump. It was already growing before the news was announced. Global news that usually affects bitcoin as news that affects the economy or financial sector of the world. Like tariffs, Trump being elected as president. There's nothing the Pope is going to do that will affect Bitcoin. If it were so, when the news broke that the previous Pope had died, Bitcoin would have dipped.
News can pump or dump Bitcoin in the market but Bitcoin is less likely a pump and dump coin if you compare it with altcoins. It's the first important fact about Bitcoin and its price in cryptocurrency market. Now, after talking about price, let's discuss about value which should come before price. Without value, price won't exist and even scammers, for example, manage to create pump and dump game, lifting a price to very high level, I am quite sure that such unrealistic expensive price won't last for too long time. People will soon feel boring and no longer are interested in investment into a zero-value project. Bitcoin is completely different than such zero-value projects, as it was created with excellent ideas from Satoshi Nakamoto from which the Bitcoin founder did his outstanding code for Bitcoin protocol. Over more than one decade and a half, many extra developments and upgrades have been made and together they contributed to a truly decentralized blockchain that is also against censorship. All these things and surely more ones that I don't mention here, made great value for Bitcoin. News does not make value and does not destroy value, remember that and you will be strong against fud.

If you define deflation by people's acquisition of bitcoin like MS then you're absolutely nothing close to understanding bitcoin deflation as no institution or whale holding determines how much scarce bitcoin is, imaging 6 years ago bitcoin was deflationary asset, when micro strategy hasn't acquired any bitcoin. Yet bitcoin was doing absolutely well.
Bitcoin is not deflationary, in 2009, 6 years ago like your example or now and in future years till 2140. We also can not say many bitcoins lost and some reports say it is about 3 or 4 million bitcoins, but those lost bitcoins don't make Bitcoin deflationary. We don't say fiat currencies are deflationary because people lost their fiat currency by any reason, so we can not say it with Bitcoin because there are lost bitcoins. Bitcoin is better than fiat currencies because Bitcoin has a cap for its total supply while fiat currencies don't have any cap and this makes Bitcoin very attractive with people who want to find an asset that can help them to save their money against fiat currency inflation.

According to Adam Livingston, miners currently produce around 450 BTC per day or approximately 13,500 BTC per month, but Strategy acquired 379,800 BTC in the last six months. This translates to the firm purchasing roughly 2,087 BTC per day.More bitcoins will be created by mining with time so it's not evidence for you and anyone to say Bitcoin is deflationary with time at any rate even -2% annually. Bitcoin is truly inflationary but Satoshi Nakamoto programmed Bitcoin protocol and designed Bitcoin inflationary rate is halved every 210,000 blocks. With an average time of Bitcoin block is 10 minutes, 210,000 blocks would last for about 4 years. All bitcoins in total supply will be mined until a year of 2140 and before all nearly 21 million bitcoins mined by Bitcoin miners, Bitcoin will never be inflationary. We only can call Bitcoin as inflationary after 2140 year, and after 21 million bitcoins appeared. How is the 21 millions Bitcoin cap defined and enforced?

Well, I've read that now CZ is seeking a "Presidential Pardon" from US President Donald Trump. If materialized, CZ's criminal record would be cleared, paving the way for him to join Binance once again. For what I know, CZ never loses (unlike rival SBF). So these next 4 years might be the brightest ones for Binance yet. A win-win for the whole crypto industry.
Obviously, things will be much better without Gary Gensler around. We're already seeing the market's bullish movements with the new SEC chairman in play. Hopefully, America positions itself as the leading force of the crypto industry in the long run.
He already made a legal aggrement with DOJ and paid his costly fee $4B together with several months in prison. He already was released to community and even joined some cryptocurrency conferences while he already stepped down as Binance CEO before his imprison. Donal Trump intends to make more cryptocurrency friendly regulations in order to make USA as a favorite hub of blockchain and cryptocurrency companies all over the world. I really don't know that CZ has any chance of a pardon from USA government but if another rumor is true that Trump family want to buy shares of Binance, this pardon can be made. It of course raises question on conflict of interests of the pardon actually is signed by Donald Trump.

I think you are right but it is just more than that because if people are trying to join in on Bitcoin or Crypto-currency just because of their sentiment against Fiat because of its uncertainty due to some events then they can easily store their funds in other things like Gold. Bitcoin is an option to lots of people not just because of its ability to go up in value but it's actual use. The decentralized nature of Bitcoin still sets it apart.
It is one of things they need to research on and truly understood before they get started investment. Other things like Bitcoin technology and its security, privacy for users, as well as Bitcoin historic performances in price growth since 2009. If people did all those things that in my opinion are only basic research, they will amost likely have very good basic understanding about Bitcoin from technology to price performance and they would have very strong belief in Bitcoin. Bitcoin price history in monthly, quarterly, yearly ROIs https://cryptorank.io/price/bitcoin/analyticsBitcoin is better than Gold in ROIs. https://casebitcoin.com/charts#roi_chart

It's the same thing I did yesterday before that error came up. There was also a red cross sign on the logo implying that there was a problem, but today when I checked, the license is now showing as valid. I guess it was just some temporary glitch.
I don't know if the team intends to come back to the forum. They promised to come back with some exiting promos after the updates.
They spent decent money for marketing in Bitcointalk and if they did not plan to close their business, I believe they will do exactly what they revealed to forum community "they will be back with marketing after doing some upgrades on their platform". From latest signals, perhaps Boxbet team are doing something for their comeback that possibly is near enough. The market trend changes from bearish to bullish can be a good catalyst for success of their marketing. In bull market, when people have profit from market, they will feel more comfortable with gamblings and can become less strict with their feeling as well as technical things.

It was very poor quality of Europa League this season  Man United and Tottenham had one of the worst season in Premier League, they they dont play good, so this can somehow save their season. I guess I have to go with Man United to win, but I really dont trust either of this teams. I don't know because previous seasons, there were times when Sevilla won Europa League titles when they did not play too well in their domestic league La Liga and I remembered there was no accusation like this. I agree that Europa League this season don't have big clubs at semi finals with good forms and Bodo or Athletic Bilbao are not big clubs in Europe. Their appearances in semi final are already big surprise but they were beaten by two clubs that are in crisis, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotpur. The final match between two clubs will be exciting but with those club crisis in Premier League, people have very solid reasons on quality of Europa League in this season. Changes from UEFA to launch Conference League has contribution to this issue of Europa League, as perhaps some good clubs have to play in Conference League. Years ago, there were only Champions League or Europa League, and if you were not qualified for Champions League, let's join Europa League.

It’s true that bitcoin has totally shifted from been a currency for exchange or payment method to simply been made an asset for holding, the clear answer is that many people will love to do what can benefit them more than sometimes what benefits the system, what I can actually say is that bitcoin is definitely designed to been able to accommodate both parties. The reason why bitcoin doesn’t get used as a currency can simply be related to the fact that the government before now hasn’t freely allowed the use of bitcoin and the restrictions of this has made many users to back off from using it as payment method coupled with the fact that not many businesses accept it too. So rather people use it asset most especially since it has the characteristics of been an hedge against inflation.
There are people who consider bitcoin as an asset for holding but there are others only use bitfoin for speculation, trading and payments. If they only use bitcoin as asset of holding, there are not many demands on Bitcoin mempools and Bicoin blocks have not been almost full. Bitcoin itself is inflationary but I agree that it is a very good asset against inflation in the world as fiat currencies are more inflationary than Bitcoin. In addition, Bitcoin total supply and inflationary rate with time are all set and can not be changed while governments and central banks can easily change those things of fiat currency.

You don't need Arthur Hayes to know of increasing money printing globally. Pandemic kicked it off, and recession will force governments doing it more seriously. Development, trial and launch of CBDCs will help governments with lighter process of money supply to their citizens. From prinitng, they will change to minting that does not requires too many infrastructure inputs.
Together with wars, there are many conditions for boosting Bitcoin to the moon. More people will see Bitcoin as an asset for wealth storage and hedge against fiat currency inflation as well as arbitrarily seizures by central banks and governments.

Is it actually necessary to use a paid authenticator app? Because why not you use Google authenticator app, which could be found on either Play Store and Apple Store for your Two factor verifications.
There are many Two Factor Authentication Applications and you can have many free ones to use, including open source 2FAs. A good open source 2FA is Aegis. https://getaegis.app/You can use Google Aunthenticator but it is not open source and you can not expect open source products from Google.

Betting on an uncertain league makes more losses due to the lesser known team factor, not knowing the competitive atmosphere between teams so we can bet based on instinct. While betting on the very common top European leagues, we will better understand the situation and condition of the team's strength. So my advice is not to bet too much money on less popular leagues even though the odds are very high but the risk of losing will be closer.
When you bet on matches in small leagues and you don't know about those clubs, teams and players, you are truly gambler and actually gamble with your money. You can say you make bets based on given odds and latest forms of two clubs but those things are not enough. Understand about those clubs, their players and coaches are very fundamental for your consideration before making bet with money. If you consider betting like trading, and you want to get profit from it, you must be very disciplined enough to ignore too risky matches. You don't need to bet in all leagues and especially leauges and matches you don't understand. There are many matches each week from top leagues in Europe and you will have many chances for betting. Just wait for a while, some days, there are more matches for betting, it's not too challenging practically.

You can do what you want, thank late comers to the cycle or don’t, whatever you want to do. For every buyer there is a seller, somebody cashes in & somebody becomes their exit liquidity. Anybody with a long term term & patience will succeed though. Bitcoin is number go up technology.
It's always easy to say when looking back but when the market is going and we are in it, we don't know what phase it is and what it will move next. Consequently, it's natural that our psychology will be unstable and we will not sure what to do. It is more unsure with newbies but it does not mean experienced people can do right actions. New or experienced, if your belief in Bitcoin is not solid, and you don't aim at long term, you will have risk of losing money by panic buy after fomo buy and don't have patience of waiting for long term profit. Yeah, in other words, thank to stupid people.  My definition of stupid people isn't for people who sold their coins, but it's actually people who sold the coins at loss. There's always someone who at loss that makes other people are at profit, yeah we should thank them because if not them, we might likely to be someone who sold our coins at loss. There are people like this, stupid, to help others purchasing discount bitcoins, but it's more painful that those people will return and fomo again. They are very helpful in bull market but they themselves don't get profit, but get loss and profit will be changed hands to other people who are more disciplined and wise in a same market.

the reason why the price hung down below$100k recent months is not lack of demand. but instead "WHALE WALLS"* creating a resistant barrier of large market orders whereby the price could not pass such limits.  *walls: super large orders created, cancelled and created, never to be filled but instead to cause a resistance limit of price movement simply having the whales remove their walls allowed the price to move freely up Whales can set up and remove buy or sell walls. Depend on their manipulations, those walls will be used as liquidation prices against traders who overleverage their trading positions. In the market we have support and resistance and depends on market, resitance can flip to support and support can flip to resistance. Whales also use both Buy and Sell walls to keep price moving within their wanted range. Before whales moving their walls up or down, prices will be controlled well in their wanted range.

Both teams will definitely fight harder and try to play better than in the first leg. Personally, I also see Barcelona as superior in terms of performance on the field and also squad depth. but Inter Milan as the host and as one of the strongest clubs in Italy really cannot be underestimated. As we saw in the first leg, Barcelona as the host also had difficulty beating Inter Milan which made the match result only a draw.
Beating Inter Milan in Italy will be very difficult for Barcelona especially if Inter Milan play with Italy defensive style. They can sacrifice ball possession but aim at closing all dangerous space around their box and let Barcelona falling to aggressive attacks and forgetting about defense as well as showing sort of defensive holes for Inter Milan's counter attack and exploitation. But Hansi Flick must have also analyzed Inter Milan's game. So I feel Barcelona will try a different strategy because they definitely don't want the match to end the same as in the first leg.
Letting Inter Milan scoring three goals and consequently two times of chasing Inter Milan for equalizer, Hanson Flick and Barcelona faced with risk of defeat two times. It would be not comfortable experience and I believe that they will not want to have similar experience in Italy; nevertheless, I don't believe Barcelona will have better defensive performance. They will continue relying on attacking players for beating Inter Milan.

Oh yes there is the second leg of the Champions League match coming in a few hours. It is Inter Milan's turn now to host, quite curious whether they will be able to stop Barcelona or not. Let's see.
Inter Milan and Barcelona will start from zero in this match after a draw in the first semi final last week. No advantage or disadvantage from. that 3-3 draw but scoring three goals against Barcelona last week will give Inter Milan more confidence that they are able to beat this strong opponent in a direct match. They will be the host but perhaps Inter Milan will have more troubles of scoring goals against Barcelona in Italy if Hansi Flick can force his players perform more carefully and do better defense. It can be no longer a goal productive match and I believe the winner will be decide with slim difference and the match will not end with many goals.
