ya ytc peaks and valley is nuts



bonus of being a crypto noob is on robinhood i dont hold anything personally.

how many whole BTC do u have if u dont mind me asking


Less than 1. Back then I decided to buy some BTC for fun at the end of the year instead of some lottery tickets. Bought in for less than €100, was very fun during the hype. After the big crash back then just let it hang out.

Note that back then there were lots of issues with brokers not paying out, which is why I went the hardware wallet route (Armory paper wallet).

Now that I see it's up again I might divest fully, it's too big a hassle for me rn and it'll definitely be the biggest gain I've ever had on any investment.

to be honest im terrified of the whole holding legit btc. ive read up so many times and im still a bit confused on how its actually 100% safe even when just written on paper. like i get it, it just feels off to me.

so i invest on robinhood and let them worry about the security side of things lol

i used to store all my crypto on ledger wallets, now I spread it out a bit and did so in 2016-2017 so i could more easily trade btc and eth against each other. in fact i still have some sitting on one

it’s safe even storing it on paper. an acquaintance i know for years put his private keys on a notepad and kept that in his safe in his closet lmao

Im pretty sure the winkelvos twins put parts of their BTC holdings on notepads and then spread them into safe deposit boxes throughout the country and only they know where its all hidden lol.

but like if u have a billion$+ in BTC thats the move.

I think a copy of my wallet key is still somewhere in my parents' house as a back-up, but I have no clue where.

Luckily people who might find it would have no clue what to do with 16 4 letter words on a piece of paper :P

i always wondered how people stored their first btcs. like i was late enough along that ledger wallets and digital wallets were there but in 2010-2011 did everyone just store their keys that way on paper lmao

A lot of people used online wallets back then too, but there were lots of scammy guys peacing out with all the wallets they managed and pretending it was a hacker or smth. I know when I bought (Killgore on this sub was the one who convinced me, dude prolly made bank) the people who knew what they were doing and had lots just had a separate offline laptop they used for hardware wallets.

Remember guys, it's only tyranny when Democrats do it.

Kim Reynolds is up there with Michelle Bachman and Palin. They have no business being in politics and they're all well past their sell by date.

Our IA governor is the biggest hack
