HODL is going long (or already have gone long).

If anyone is thinking about getting a ledger, don't. I just updated the firmware and it was a fucking nightmare.

Part of the way through the update process it got stuck. The ledger showed the word bootloader and clicking the buttons did nothing. The wallet software just said to plug it in. No options, nothing worked.

Turns out lots of people have this problem. Their support page says that for those of us running windows 7, we will have to finish the update on another machine. One not running win7.

I do not have a non-win7 machine and there is no way I am downgrading to win10. Nor do I want to spend money on a new machine even if that was an option.

So that's the situation. The update was mandatory so no way to avoid it, and it didn't complete. My coins were stuck.

I eventually found a developer version of the ledger manager software on github, ran it and the update went through and things worked normally again. But that was pure dumb luck, could easily have been locked out of my money for months.

Get a trezor instead. Updated the firmware on that too and it went through in seconds with no issues. Thinking about dropping the ledger and getting an extra trezor instead. Or maybe an entirely different brand would be in order.

All of your points seem valid, except your assertion that you "could easily have been locked out of my money for months."   First, you should always have your back-up seed before you do any upgrade, and you can put your back up seed into almost any wallet and get access to your funds.  Only a rookie would not safeguard his backup key, especially when most wallets also prompt you to save your backup key.

And the market continue to go down these days, but don't worry about it and keep HODL

And they will quickly get a fix out. Sheesh, delete computers because bug.

Polo just stripped it’s users of there freedom today. Bitfinex did it last week, big things are happening behind the scenes. Get ready! Something big is happening.

What did polo do?

Enforce KYC/AML rules that anyone with any clue of how the world works could see coming years ago.

Oh so I guess everyone in the forum is whining about having to pay taxes still. Ive been paying my crypto taxes every year since 2013. I just wrote a big fat check to my government worth 1/4 of my net worth. I have no sympathy.

ditto, also since 2013....either, the tax man will come after you because crypto made big $$$ in the future...or will come after you if it all goes tulips in the future

either way, my ducks are in a row also.

Definitely I am fine paying my taxes on it, rather be all set rather than face tax evasion.

You could always go live on one of those seastead thingies.
I gather their tax rate is quite reasonable for bitcoiners...
