I have read that many people choose to store their bitcoin private keys on steel plates by engraving the seed phrase on the plates.
I thought of doing the same and so I searched for vendors around me and contacted one of them.
After discussing with the vendor I got to know that we can engrave the keys on steel as well as aluminium plates.
He also said that aluminium plates are cheaper than steel but on the other hand steel is stronger than aluminium.
And so I have the below two questions to ask you guys before I proceed with securing my keys.
1. Should I go with aluminium or steel plates ?
2. Wouldn't it be a risk if I give my keys to the vendor to engrave it on the plates ? What if he steals my coins?
Also, If I don't give the words to the vendor how will he engrave it ?
One solution that I can think of is to find 3-4 similar vendors and give a few words to each of them to engrave on the plate
Nearly everyone knows the value of private key in the society today. Entrusting any one to engrave your private key or seed phrase on any metal be it aluminum or steel could be even more riskier than having exchange hold your coins. It's best to use a seed phrase generated wallet carefully write down your seed phrase and save it your self in a safe or any private place. No one deserves the trust in this age and time |

A big possiblity for Barcelona to emerge as winner's of the Europa league.
They don't have anything to loss if they win the Europa league and doesn't qualify for the top four positions in the la Liga table.
I had a good watch from yesterday's performance they did real good, Aubameyang came here scoring goals.
The question here is the priority for Barcelona: give everything to win the Europa League or stay in fourth place in La Liga? I believe that the priority will always be fourth place in La Liga. So if they have to sacrifice a game, it will be in the Europa League. That's why I don't consider Barcelona a candidate for the title. There's a good chance they'll get it, but it's not their priority. I do not agree with you. Barcelona have not won a title this season. And Barcelona have no chance of winning a title other than the Europa League. So they will try their best to win the title. On the other hand, they will not be difficult for Barcelona in the top 4 in La Liga at the moment. First of all they are in good form. The Real Betis team's performance is completely irregular. They have lost 2 of the last 5 matches. So I think in La Liga we can see Barcelona in the top 3. Barcelona and possibly purse both finishing in the top 3 and winning the Europa. Barcelona has done it over and again in the championships league and domestic league as well. So finishing amongst the top and winning the Europa shouldn't be an exception. For the the Europa is already Barcelona's seeing the strength the have portrayed after the new signings. We can see Barcelona win both the Europa and replace Real bettis in the top 3 |

Liverpool will be eyeing another win in the remainder of the season to continue to press Manchester City at the top of the table. Liverpool are only 6 points behind Manchester City but we still have 1 match less.
It's was a tough match for Liverpool playing against Chelsea in the carabao cup so what are the possible stat the will meet up with Manchester city. Manchester city might likely finish the league as the top team this season. Liverpool might make attempts on getting closer but I am not seeing Manchester conceding any more goals after the lost to Tottenham. Based on the schedule, this postponed match will take place in mid-March against Arsenal. Obviously Arsenal are not an easy opponent for any team to beat now, but Liverpool could probably do well. But before the match vs Arsenal, Liverpool must first meet West Ham, Inter and Brighton. I hope they can secure all these match with a win.
Arsenal has shown losts of commitment and also built back some level of trust in the heart of it's fans again after starting the league with lots of poor performances. Their game against Liverpool is obviously not going to be an easy one and I just see it as any man's game. West Ham and Brighton should be an easy one |

8 points behind looks hard for Dortmund to pursuing Bayern especially for every weeks Bayern performance stable and almost get full points indeed the league still 10 matches remaining before end but Dortmund chance to get the tittle looks decreasing after only get 1 point from Augsburg and if they slipped again for upcoming matches they have to give up for the title race against Bayern
The season as far as German bundles liga is concerned Bayern Munich owns the trophy. Dortmund isn't consistent with their games the played a draw against Augsburg after defeating mönchengladbach with a 6-0 goal difference. It will be hard meeting up with Bayern Munich definitely not this season. The should just endure the trophyless season |

Bitcoin price rushed too fast last year so was the market capitalization too. To strike a balance between demand and supply in the Bitcoin price might take a process of time. No matter how people switch from fiat to Bitcoin it won't make the price move up so instantaneously because the market moves in two direction up and down and its ATH as at last year was too alarming so expecting a retracement to make a balanced is much expected.

Despite the dip Bitcoin has maintain a certain support range for a long time and has made lots of retest but isn't breaking through. Although it's a risk asset but still has more advantage compared to the centralized assets. Of all the ways to earn in Bitcoin mining tends to be less risky but it requires a good mining device like Bitmain AntMiner. Speculations could be deceptive except the decipline to hodl irrespective of the market situation exist

I rather scalp because I know I am not patient enough to day trade or swing to the next day. Since I scalp I don't go above 1x leverage keeping my profit margin very thin so that Incase I'm at a lose there will always be a retracement so I can quickly take profit and in those cases I avoid greed. I rather take $0.5 than loss everything

It is with sadness that I see how bitcoin has dropped (nothing new really) in sync with the global markets around 11% last week while the old gold, AKA simply "gold" has made a rush to 6.5% in the last month. Needless to say that this is related to the war in Ukraine and the prospects of instability, not that it was unexpected, tend to draw people towards gold.
Gold had to make such a bullish push because it's main reserve is in the us. Just the same way Russian Ruble weakens against USD so same also gave gold the major push. Us got the positive returns on the war effect. But Putin should try end this I wonder if bitcoin can still be considered a reserve of value when is following and correlating this much with stocks markets.
Bitcoin is a decentralized gold so we don't expect everything around us affect its value. This asset belongs to us. I will say Bitcoin moved too fast in a short space of time all the way to an ATH of over $63k+ so it might take longer to see a new move up. But the fun fact is stocks get easily manipulated but Bitcoin is controlled by everyone in the network. |

Here are this week's matches:
- Atletico Madrid vs Celta Vigo
- Sevilla vs Real Betis
- Barcelona vs Atletic Bilbao
I hope Barcelona take their chances to win the match against Bilbao because one of the above two teams "or maybe both" will drop points at the end of the match. If Real Betis fail to beat Sevilla then Barcelona will benefit if they win from Bilbao. So there may be a change in position in the standings in the next few match.
As long as Barcelona can play very well and advance to a higher position, then they prove that not always good finances will guarantee good team results. I hope Aubameyang can play optimally in the next match, at least this will slap the previous club who arbitrarily terminated his contract. I'm really exicited for waiting their next match. Xavi is slowly showing that he is one coach who should not be underestimated. In his hands Barcelona's game improved from time to time, even though it was stumbling at the beginning but now he has overcome it, although not completely, but this is the starting point for Barcelona to return to the Barcelona we know. Yes, hopefully Xavi can be consistent with the good results he got. fter the 1-4 away victory of Barcelona against Valencia I just developed this strong trust for Xavi that he knows how to deliver Barcelona from the inconsistency. Athletic Bilbao is indeed a strong team but with xavi as coach for Barcelona I know a way of sure victory will come through. Xavi might not have done much but he has reduced the losses Barcelona had in the early season drastically |

Arsenal will meet Wolves FC, obviously this is not an easy opponent for Arsenal. Because Wolves FC also tend to play well. Wolves FC are also definitely eyeing a win in this match, as they want to move up the rankings in the standings and overtake Westham and Arsenal themselves.
Yes, I predict that this match will be tough because both of them have a winning target.
I must say it will be a very tough game. With the top-four race heating up, both teams will be desperate for all three points. Arsenal, though, will be playing at home and must prove that they want it more. Arsenal are facing a direct top-four rival and must not slack this time. At the same time Wolves are one of the most improved teams in the Premier League, having won seven of their last ten games in all competitions. Wolves will also be coming into this game on the back of morale boosting wins against Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City. Arsenal will face it tough tonight because this wolves team is very difficult to beat. I predict a draw. Wolves fc needs the win because if the draw the stand a chance of moving to 8th position and if the lose then it's a straight replacement with Tottenham. Arsenal too might want to play for the win. Tottenham will be playing against Leeds united and it should be another easy win for spurs so the can comfortably occupy 7th position Incase wolves gets either a draw or a loss |

The opening match and the only one tomorrow is Hoffenheim v Stuttgart. Hoffenheim are having a wonderful season and they are in the competition for the fourth position in the standings currently. And this is another comfortable match for them to win without much problem. Hoffenheim are a great team home in the Bundesliga. And Stuttgart have been terrible in matches away. I remember that Stuttgart won by 3-1 home but I don't have that kind of expectation this time. Hoffenheim should be victorious here.
I also think that Stuttgart will not win this game. They last time they have won was against Wolfsburg in December and they have not won since. Hoffenheim will try to keep their place in the table to be able to play internationally next season. One of those few comfortable wins Hoffenheim should secure this season. Stuttgart should just find their way at the bottom although the have more points than furth so the will neither move up not down. Hoffenheim will do their very best to keep their place in the table making sure every single attempts counts and they secure the win then the forth position is all theirs since the share the same point with RB Leipzig |

By the year 2140 the last bitcoin that will ever be mined will have been mined and then miners will switch to transaction fees as their reward for validating transactions.
Miners switched over to transaction fee as the reward can be misleading, miners have been earning fee from transaction fee right from the beginning, but as the mining reward is reducing every 210000 blocks (halving), miners will be getting more reward from transaction fee but fully depended on the fee when all bitcoin are mined. Swiching completely to transaction fee was what i meant thanks for highlighting that misleading line. Currently it's new minted coin of 6.25 bitcoin per each successfully validated transaction. Now will the fee be encouraging enough as the only reward then will this spring up inflation in transaction fee or will miners stop? and if miners stop what will happen to bitcoin |

I think the second leg between Barcelona and Napoli will be very tough match,the Italian side will be coming with all they got and they also have added advantage of playing at their home soil but I still take Barcelona will pass through because of experience and knowledge of Europe competition than the Italian side who has not won Europe title for very long time,and they also have a very top striker in their rank who has lot to prove now in Aubameyang and he is in top form, so I will go with 1-3 scoreline in Barcelona favour.
Since UEFA change the rules for away goals i think both of teams have equal chance for this match because draw for the first leg but indeed the difference is Napoli playing at home which is in the front of their supporters and usually home team will playing better for home match but everything can be changed depend on teams conditions and let's see later whether Napoli or Barcelona as the winner The abolition of the away goals rule will of course make the second leg match more interesting, so far the team that acts as the host prefers to play defensively in the second leg so as not to concede, but this season we will see if both teams will certainly play aggressive football both at home and away team, in my opinion the draw score obtained by barcelona and napoli in the previous match of course did not provide an advantage for napoli despite acting as the host later, so I think it would be very dangerous if napoli chose to stay in the match later, especially because barcelona was in good form after the arrival of Aubmeyang and I think Aubameyang has a good record goal at the moment against Italian teams. The abolition of the away goal will bring both teams to play harder to secure their place in the Europa as both teams stands equal chance of winning. This will be a very aggressive game from both ends as both earn equal point in the first leg and no more aggregate advantage . Barcelona has seen lots of improvement lately and their finishing line is seeing heavy upgrade i hope to see a match to always make reference to |

Milan are the current leader in the league standings. But this could change any time as Inter and Napoli are tailing them by only two points behind. By the way, Juventus also had a golden opportunity for two weeks to catch up with this trio but they failed. Because they also got unsatisfying results like two draws. It doesn't seem like Juventus can join this title race as long as they keep up being inconsistent. Because I believe that the front trio will gather themselves up and fight harder for the title. One of them will make it but it is hard to predict the right one.
This is one sweet league with a tight competition MIlan will struggle to win the title since they have no stake in the champions league like they are out. The gap between Milan, Inter and Napoli are just too narrow and a single lose or draw will result in instant replacement and this is making the prediction even harder this where the real gambling deal plays out just take the risk |

For me today all the people lets see Atletico Madrid Manchester United, but i think the mayority of goals can be in the other game Ajax Benfica.
But im not 100% fo this because Cristiano score a lot vs Atletico and this year Atletico its defending like shit.
Very interesting fact of the goal of Villarreal.
Ajax Benfica is sure to have more goals in today's champions leauge matches but for Manchester united Athletico i don't see united's possibility of wining against ATM. Staking on Ronaldo to score is a high risk. Machester can't stand the speed and energy of the laliga game style. Chelsea was quite lucky last night Lille was lacking in strikers which made their efforts waste. Athletico will be brutal for united |

I want to know, what else does the government want to regulate the cryptocurrency blockchain for if the FBI can perform such a rigorous search on all the virtual accounts that have been created online by the couple? And found the private key linked to the wallet that received the funds, and they recovered over $3.5 billion and recorded it as the biggest seizure in the cryptocurrency niche.
You can't expect the government to buy into a complete decentralized technology and one that can't link a particular address to a particular individual except by monitoring its consisyent transactions across exchanges. I think the transaction the Government cannot track in the block-chain technology has not be made. FBI claim that they will endeavor to trace any fraudulent activity in the cryptocurreny network through their 21st century investigative technique. (I don't know what they mean by that)
The blockchain in the decentralized network still covers your full privacy but once associated with an exchange the privacy is lost. The FBI was able to carry out rgeir search because the couple had a link with bitfinex which is very much a regulated exchange so doing their tracking might seem much easier |

By the year 2140 the last bitcoin that will ever be mined will have been mined and then miners will switch completely to transaction fees as their reward for validating transactions. mine you full node miners perform basically two functions which include: - validate transactions
- mint new coins
Before we consider this two functions. The bitcoin halving which occurs every four years ensures the total number of bitcoin that will ever be in existence will not exceed 21,000 million bitcoin. will 21,000 million bitcoin be enough for the massesBitcoin is highly divisible. meaning in every 1 bitcoin there 100 million satoshi's and the smallest sat is 0.00000001(1millibit) so its highly divisible nature will make bitcoin available to the masses and will be more than enough What if miners decides to increases the bitcoin number is it really possible?Yes it can be achieved but it simply means majority of the nodes that encompasses different miners on the network has to be in agreement and what eventually happens if more nodes are against this Then Bitcoin will definitely become two since the miners might likely spit since there are no longer in consensus. if they split what will happen to the two bitcoin valuesIt just like having an original and a fake product. One will inflate and the other will deflate since both are built on the same open source code why can't the two add up the same valueNow both might be tackling the same decentralized asset ownership and spending issue but since both will run on different software one will defintely get more adoption than the other and what controls market price is demand and supplyso both might not gain equal attention. What are your take on this? |

Alternative to fiat in my own understanding from your post @Op you mean bitcoin can also serve the full functionality every other fiat posses and still grant you your privacy and also protect from a third party intermediary if this be the point then that is it. Bitcoin has actually fulfilled its full purpose then giving you full control of your coin using cryptographic hash function.

Bitcoin moves faster during the first bull run mostly because of a major correction move and decline slower than altcoin because it's major support zone gets retested first before the market decides which other direction to follow and in the second run altcoin moves faster in the bull run because Bitcoin needs to recover from the previous dips. While altcoin soar higher recovering faster. Same applies in the dip

Barcelona have been doing very good lately in the league. Their huge win against Valencia must have made them much happier now. And I expect them to play more focused in their next games in the league and the Europa League both. And I also think that Aubameyang will be very successful here. His first meet with a goal here was in the Valencia game and he had even a hat-trick which was great to watch. He wasn't playing like this literally for years and he is like reborn now.
Barcelona win against Valencia was a big plus to their profile. Going by the match many predicted a draw but it ended in a straight 1-4 victory for Barcelona. Having Abumayeng play forward for Barcelona will strengthen the attack line for Barcelona making the midfield hustle even more relevant because all along Barcelona has been lacking strickers |
