Make sure you back up your wallet regularly! Unlike a bank account, nobody can help you if you lose access to your BTC.

Coinbase 15 min looks like a bearflag :/
Dump incoming.
It will last by Q1 of 2019, I guess. And by God's grace please bottom to $2k now. I am sure that price will not be so low People shouldnt be scared from this panic in crypto world.2018 year was best year for cryptocurrencies so we shouldnt regret.It will be probably about 3000-4500$ something like that and it will grow every month a little I dont expect anymore bull run with bitcoin just a little grow every month or every couple months ,something like in this photo: That's how a bull run tends to begin..... slowly working it's way back up and then >>>>>>> BAMM!!!!!!! And, really, if anyone can obtain about 2.2x returns in a year, then what would be disappointing about that? We should not need much more than 10% annualized returns to really feel great about our investment - especially when we are contributing (by investing) to what seems to be the greatest current paradigm shifting phenomenon that is NOW in our midst.

Proof of keys? I control my own keys thank you.
Trusted third parties? Isn't that an oxymoron?
I haven't had any coins on an exchange since MtGox. Luckily that mistake only cost me 50BTC. Never again.
Closest thing I have to a trusted third party is my Trezor which I somehow got talked into using against my better judgment. Luckily I only have 5BTC on it. I stopped using it last year after having it for less than half a year.
Obviously cold ("paper" wallet) storage is much more secure. Only I have control over the keys and they're never exposed to the internet except when I sweep a wallet into Mycelium to transfer coins and that's only small amounts for short periods of time.
This is why it's good to spread your stash between dozens or hundreds of small wallets. My biggest single wallet has a little over 30 coins in it (from pulling out what I had at Cavirtex after being Goxed) but I'm almost scared to sweep it to split it into smaller wallets because that would entail risking that many coins at once by exposing them to the internet.
I suppose I should empty my Trezor on Genesis Block Day as a way to assert ownership of my keys instead of trusting Trezor. Then again why wait until Jan. 3?
Jimbo, rest assured. With a TREZOR, you control the keys. Your seed words are the keys. It's just a different form of storage. On paper, you are storing them using ink. With a TREZOR, they are just electrons in a FLASH memory chip. They are both stored locally. No one else but you has control over them. And TREZOR has the added bonus of protecting your keys in case it's stolen (can't easily read those electrons unless you have the PIN). If your paper wallet gets stolen, your coins are gone (they're just a QR code sweep away)... Yes, if trezor is as secure as advertised. Do we know this? This is how much we know: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1OBIGslgGMBasically: The seed and PIN (sic!) can be extracted from a Trezor device. Not simply, but it is doable. But... If you put a passphrase on the seed, the hacker can do shit... So, which of the following is the easiest? 1. TREZOR: steal the device, then use the extraction method you refer to above to get the seed (and coins). 2. TREZOR: steal the device, then spend eternity trying to crack it (because it's passphrase-protected). 3. Paper Wallet: steal the wallet, then simply sweep the QR code to get the coins! I'd go with a TREZOR... Why not both? got ledger nano's and blues myself ..... also happy with those

#stronghands2019
---- As an aside on a personal note, I created over 1,080 images this last year for your viewing pleasure. That is even with the 6 month sabbatical I enjoyed over the summer. I plan on starting fresh charts after new years but will break out the OR when appropriate.
Cheers tc
Thanks for your contributions buddy, and happy new year! I've created approximately 600 shitposts this year, and have posted 24 ass pictures. I've created over 500 posts that I thought were hilarious and not one person laughed! You are admitting to being a Bot? You sneaky fuck.

Last iteration yielded over 30% gain on my play money.
All closed now, and my heart is light as a feather.
Some call you a slut, but you've always been a good lady to me. Thank you, bitcoin! <3

Speaking of January 3rd, has somebody mentioned it's Bitcoins 10th Birthday? In that honor, counter is appropriate: Online counterEdit: Timer to Genesis block creation, of course. isn't that already passed ? bought the 10year anniversary nano ledger....? That was the celebrating the anniversary of the white paper. Genesis block anniversary is indeed 3rd Jan.

Private key==bitcoin.
I... am confused as to why anyone here would be confused about this?
It’s still there Somebody is definitely going to steal it. It's a BIP38 password encrypted paper wallet. Impossible to sweep without knowing the password... +1, Your funds are safe as long as you remember the passphrase. IMO, keeping a BIP38 password makes your paper wallet less secure. There's a good chance that you'll forget that phrase by the time you need to extract bitcoin out of your paper wallet. Compare the probability of getting your piece of paper stolen and the probability of forgetting the password; there are more chances that you'll forget your password! That depends entirely on your mental faculties. There is basically zero chance that I will forget my passwords, but sometimes I leave Stuff lying around where I didn't quite intend to. Also, I have this boat, and at times tragic accidents happen...

As I understand it, that is the reason that date was chosen for PoK.

Having had experienced usage of both the Ledger Nano S and the Trezor 1, I prefer the Trezor 1, so far. I have not had any experience with Keepkey, so I appreciate your comparing it to the nano s.

I discuss the whole content of that video in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5090244.msg48978949#msg48978949It is in spanish, but if there is some interest I could translate it. TLDR: All those potential attack vectors requiere physical access to the device among other things. And even if all requirements would be met (which is already enough negligence on the user part) there are also additional countermeasures for additional security (ie. passphrase). No all. ^^ stealing the paper or the device is the same just a very littke of weight difference
The difference is, if you steal my TREZOR, you ain't getting my coins... You need both my TREZOR and what's in my brain to get to my coins. But if you steal Jimbo's paper wallets, you already have his coins... use nano s/blue myself same thing ..... Did you watch that video? Your blue is transmitting, just make sure a usb cable is plugged in to add an antenna boost. Fantastic signals and how to find them. https://youtu.be/Y1OBIGslgGM?t=1735
