I don't want to get into too many details in this thread, and sure there likely are variations from country to country, but also sometimes there could be rogue actors who work for the companies too (at the employee level that end up getting access to such information and they could be part of the problem).
It's your choice, and it's a good one, because, it would be considered as off-topic, well, process of registering do vary from country to country and the bad actors within the company are the ones that might be compromised by the hackers or are with the hackers and working in group. Such attacks, still occur in today world, but I think to only those, who easily become victim of phishing sites or links.
hackers are able to stay up-to-date on some of the latest and greatest of possible vulnerable areas.
Hackers are the most up to dated persons alive on earth, I have read many topics here on BTT, in which hackers and scammers found many news ways of scamming the other party, and those who don't know those scam types can easily become victim. In order to remain safe, we should get up to date too.
Sometimes they might not need very much information because if they get one or two of the passwords to your e-mail, and then they change the e-mail password and then they might log into various websites in which recovery of the password is the e-mail or the phone.. so
I recently talking to my father about Pi, you might be aware of Pi, he said, he remembers his wallet password because he used the same password at all places, and I forgot it because I use different passwords, well, first I thought the solution to this problem you have mentioned would be to use different passwords, but yeah, if we have saved all the passwords on single email, and if that email is gone then all the passwords saved on it are also gone. You just wake me up by saying this.
Sure there can be ways to use different e-mails for resetting or even using various authenticators and/or UBKey type devices that would make it more difficult for an attacker to get into as many accounts.. and using Sms authentication does tend to be a weak point when hackers get your phone number.
Indeed, we should definitely avoid accounts build on phone numbers, but email is more vulnerable to such attacks.
I was not really talking about shitcoins, so the framework could be that as long as you understand that you can lose 100% of your bitcoin investment, then you should be able to invest (or position size) according to that understanding. In other words, each of us should be prepared for the possibility that bitcoin could go to zero... so if we invest accordingly, we still could end up profiting a lot, even though we were prepared for the possibility that we might not profit.
You will be shocked, even before reading your post, I was watching IG and, in a video, Laszlo was interviewed and said, he sold 10k BTC for 2 Pizza. It's not that I don't know about him, it's just due to that video, an idea came up in my mind that, when Laszlo made an announcement of selling the 10k BTC for 2 Pizza, (and I know that post is made here on BTT, I searched it all).
I thought, what if he just wrote 100 BTC for 2 pizza or at least he would have written 5k BTC for 2 Pizza, I think he would still have remaining amount till now, and I don't know why but I am sure that if he would write 5K for 2 pizzas then he would still got a deal with some member. But as you said, when someone does not think from both the good and bad angle, he makes such mistakes, and do the unexpected things. The same might happen with those, who are blindly coming into the BTC and ignoring the risk factor. A skeptical mindset always saves you from some of the loss.
At least you should be making sure to monitor your cashflows, and if your expenses are in some kind of a fiat, it is good to make sure that you project out your cashflows for 6 to 24 months..
That's a lot of savings, I never saved that much money that could run me (including my family) for 6 to 24 months, Instead, I don't think I can even save that much money. Because I just came to realize that the money that we need for the 4 months is around $1200 (in my country). If things go right, and we face no medical situations or any other type of disaster. And I don't know how much money I would be needed in any medical situation and how any other person would have predict that. But yeah, it is wise to have some funds for emergency.
Yes, I am sure some of the frameworks that "influencers" use are better than others.. and repackaging of good ideas does seem to happen, whether here or through some of the influencers, and surely whether you are communicating with me or you are considering what any influencer is saying, there are likely some times when you will disagree with parts, but you might not exactly know why right away, but surely the back and forth can create for some kinds of active and interactive learning where you end up learning more because you engaged in some back and forth, some skepticism, some critical thinking and probably overall trying to apply the ideas to your own ideas and/or practices.
OMG, you are talking exactly like them (motivators).
well, there is no doubt in the words I have bolded. Because I also had this mindset that, if we are at the same position even after a year then we are not being productive with our life, and we have to try another thing or put more efforts in the thing we were doing before, I used to motivate my siblings, with this statement, that if you would have started to engage with the people of your field/skill then you will end up learning more after a year. I can use my own example here, I used to be a noob, but reading posts and by making replies to them, I learnt a lot and I can say for sure that, I am not at that position (of noob) where I was at the time of joining this forum.
Yes.. maybe I assumed that once a person has already decided that s/he is getting into bitcoin, then that person is largely considering position size and how to advance from being able to invest $10 per week and getting up to a higher amount, such as $100 per week.. S/he already had the conviction, and surely there are so many people who do not have conviction, and maybe they still might choose to invest $10 per month because of their skepticism...
You just said the words of my heart, I recently read a topic, and in that topic, OP said "
Just buy bitcoin and hold your own keys or else you are going to get scammed" and many posters emphasize the cruelty and differences of the people living in the same world. Many people grow a lot due to their skepticism while other are not able to grow for the same skepticism. It is really hard to predict the reason, but at least taking risk is what worth most.
I am glad that we got that cleared up, then.
I tend to write the vast majority of my posts on a computer. It can be a bit difficult to type very much on a mobile device, unless maybe there might be a keyboard or an ability to use reliable diction.
Yeah, it is hard to edit long posts, so I try to reply to you when I am on laptop. I can see that you must be on laptop, that's why you are able to make lengthy posts too.
