8m_zk, any device that has internet access (in this case Ledger HW), should not be considered a cold crypto wallet. If you want a real cold wallet, you will need two devices, one of which must always be offline - see how it looks in the example of Electrum.


One backup also represents a security risk, especially if it is on paper. At least two copies in different locations if possible is a much better solution, and in addition to paper the seed can be engraved in a metal plate which provides protection from fire, water or some other unfortunate circumstances.

when initialising your device, you'll be presented with a seed phrase and you'll be asked to write this phrase down.

If you ever break/lose your wallet, you can buy a new one and restore it using said seed phrase... Or if you're in a hurry, you can use electrum to restore your wallet using exactly the same seed... However, when using electrum to restore from seed you should consider your wallet to be compromised... But it's nice to know this is possible in case there's a sense of urgency.

By the way, this is exactly why you should write the seed phrase on paper, and never store it online. Also, make sure you store the paper on a safe place... In order to protect you against somebody finding your seed, you can use a passphrase:

Besides recommendation from members you can build your own marketplace if you have a lot of art pieces that you want to buy and sell and you have the money you can hire people to build one for you, there's not much marketplace in our community, we need a big one that caters to as many coins and artist, this is an industry worth exploring and profitable for operators.

I'm not sure if there is option to sell art works for crypto, but for sure it is interesting market based on blockchain. Not only market, but also an application that certifies the authenticity of works of art just like the confirmation of human fingerprints.

There is definitely an internal market and the ability to contact galleries, but I haven't used it myself yet, so you have to check it out by yourself.

Central banks are bailing out banks & big corporations ("because of the effects of COVID") - that's their excuse. Seems to me there's a massive incentive here. COVID is the scapegoat.

The money was broken well before COVID. If they told everyone the real reason, there'd be a lot of angry people. " Yeah we've been robbing everyone for the last 100 years, at the cost of their future & their children's future - now it can't be paid back. So we're going to have to come up with all these fancy words to tax you more on the sly, we need to pay back all this debt somehow". They clearly aren't being transparent, that wouldn't win votes.

CBDC's merely digitize the problems - in fact puts humanity in much more danger.

Hence why it's being overblown world-wide, to cover up the real issue. COVID is real but it's also nowhere near as bad as they make out. Also I think they're using it as an opportunity to control people more before everyone starts waking up.

Makes sense to me, there is clearly a hidden agenda here.

You can so easily be labeled a conspiracy theorist.

The crazy thing is, the theories tend to come true.

Yes, you can check a few p2p sites. Localbitcoins definitely right now has sellers/traders there selling and buying Bitcoin for rial. I'm checking right now and there are 2. You can actually find a few more in other countries, but mainly no longer for IRR. A bit of a premium now but still about "3,450,921,459.88 IRR / BTC
