STOP USING CUSTODIAL WALLETS

Stop using custodial wallets, stop right now, if you have crypto in a custodial wallet transfer it to a non custodial wallet, chucks put their trust in Voyager and look at what they got, Sneeds trust only themselves to protect their seeds.

Crypto investors are all moonboys, no one cares about actual use-case or the metaverse or any other BS like that. Someone I know worked on an utility project for scanning NFT collections and spotting undervalued listings and such, hunting for certain traits, and other useful things. The tool had a specific currency attached to it that you had to hold and burn to use the tool's features. Long story short, the value of that coin went up and up and up and up before the tool was even released, but the moment the tool released and it became an actual product, the coin TANKED and kept tanking and never recovered. It turns out less than 5% of holders were actually interested in using the tool, the other 95% were moonboys looking to get in early and get out with profit at the "top" (aka when the tool launches). Moral of the story is, crypto is the most speculative bullshit in existence, it's not about use-case or an actual product at all, it's all tulip mania shit.

paper cannot get hacked, you are good

you did the right thing. a phrase of 24 words is 256 bits. the chance to generate the same phrase as mine is 1:115,792,089,237,316,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,00 0,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. in the case of 12 words, the number is slightly less, but the chance of selection is still ghostly. this encryption method is incomparably better than your standard password, and when you hide a phrase behind a regular password, it can be easily found by brute force. but in the case of ordinary passwords for Internet services, it is worth using keepass, it is much better than one simple password for all sites, as it usually happens.

[@groundfx5733]

A password manager is more secure than using the same password for everything, and more convenient that writing everything down. Assuming you're using proper passwords, storing them on paper is fine

The main difference between investing in crypto and gambling is that with gambling, the odds are at least somewhat close to 50%. As for hardware wallets, I wouldn't store millions on them, because you can't copy the secret to another device off-site. I'd much rather generate a seed on a permanently offline machine, encrypt it, write it to various media (paper, USB, optical, whatever) and store one at home, one in a deposit box and one somewhere safe with a close relative. You need spare keys...

@@DimaIns I thought it made Taproot more private, but, yeah, it wasn't the best example for sure. In the end, it's not the names I'm bothered by though, it's the features themselves. I hope they're not trusted!

@@BGP00 It won't be over for a while, that's one thing I'm fairly certain of at least. It does all come down to the timing though. A lot of crypto investors including myself are techies who don't have much experience with stocks which is both an advantage and a disadvantage 🤣

Would you recommend putting encrypted backups onto a peer to peer storage? So in case the drive with the backup is lost in a fire you can still get it off of the peer to peer and restore it.

[@gestucvolonor5069]

Would you only go with Trezor? Any other cold storage you okay with?

[@NitrousXProductions]

Ledger is another useful cold storage wallet

I know it's the wrong thread, but it's the right forum as far as I'm concerned: Anybody else having issues on Nord connecting to Iceland? Before you say it, I'm in the last two months of a three year subscription and going to Mullvad.

Hold up. You're telling me you can recreate a wallet if its lost. I've heard people pay millions to recover their data to get their wallets. Did they just loose the key? Are you able to use the key to distribute the wallet across multiple devices? I haven't bought into crypto as I haven't known enough about it and I've been scared to just loose all my funds on a single centralised wallet.

[@yunggoosbumps215]

yup

[@Jupiter__001_]

The key is the part that really defines the wallet, so to speak. The coins are stored as part of the blockchain ledger, not actually on the HDD of your device, as I understand it.

Look it like a email service: Public key = Email adress which someone else can send you an email (crypto) Private Key = password for sending emails (crypto) Wallet = Interface, Email server shows you your email and makes it easy to send emails (crypto) Centralised Email server = Decentralised Blockchain (means a list for how much crypto you and others have is saved on multiple servers all over the world)

I have it on fairly good authority that Kuppy will be a buyer of Monero at $50, make of that what you will.

Just moved all my ether and bitcoin to my own wallet a few weeks ago after a few of those custodial companies died and it made me see the writing on the wall. I used coin base, but I don't know how much longer they will last at the current rate. I think it will be in the dumper for the next 5 years while people lose interest in scams, regulatory frameworks are built, and shit coins die out. In the interim I will let my meger coins sit in my private wallet.

0:45 This is depressingly accurate as to the current state of Crypto.

True indeed.

[@0x007A]

Hardware wallets only store the keys not the actual assets. The asset remains on the blockchain and subject to market fluctuations. It is not the same as dollar bills in your traditional wallet. If you entrust your keys (private) to a third party, the third party controls access to your assets. As long as people understand reality they can make their own decisions.
