Thank you BTC

Calçada Portuguesa... so... Lisbon? Rio? No fucking idea, lol... but surely a nice place to welcome the new year. Cheers!!

 Gotta be Rio - Copacabana, Avenida Atlantica but not the beach side because it has funkier looking sidewalks.
Trying to be more precise but I'm having trouble finding the exact spot.

'The right to privacy matters'
AFA losing access to your trezor, it doesn't matter, if you lose access to any wallet move your coins immediately!

You seem to be suggesting that it does not matter if the Trezor has a secure element or not?

If you lose physical possession of your trezor, then the coins should be moved?

I always considered the standard wallet (the one without a passphrase) to be a canary in the coalmine, if it were to get jeopardized first.

You want to gamble with your coins? 

I don't think that's a very bright idea.

I don't care what anyone says if you lose possession no matter how "protected" you think your seed is you would be playing with fire not to move them.

yeah you move them.

As a permahodl I am no bear

I am just surprised how little movement MicroStrategies mayor buys have created.
Especially considering how bullish my media feeds have become.

Is he overdoing it? Is he overdoing it with his infinite money glitch? I mean I have no love for the dollar or any other big print item but somewhere there is a real work based economy and it helps to remain on a good understanding with it.

Well, i guess he's not buying Spot but OTC or directly from miners?
In the long run, it doesn't matter that much, because buying OTC in masses means thinning out future supply on the spot market.
The movement will take place, but delayed.

I sort of have an opposite take.  MicroStrategy buying is a major part of the reason we were able to break $100,000 in the first place.  I would say the market is becoming addicted to his money and when he is done tossing it at the all time highs, the market struggles to sustain itself organically.  This could all change at the drop of a hat if game theory kicks off or the US establishes a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, but for now I would say we are overvalued for what the demand for Bitcoin is currently, but undervalued for what is headed our way.  That smells like short term pain to me, but we'll see.

^THIS^

... And happy XMAS my fellow hodlers!

Can you imagine the price dropping down to $20k and going quasi-sideways until 2028?

Just joking, teasing LFC... Grin

$200k is my lowest peak estimate for 2025.

@CryptoJelleNL
Chop between $94,000 and $102,000 over the holiday season, then resume up only in 2025.
Relax for a few days - things will get crazy soon.

Genius season approaching fast.

I doubt that "we" can really know if the pause will last a whole another week or not.

We'll Bart again
Don't know where
Don't know when

Personally, I would not characterize our last couple months as bartening, exactly.

Sure, there are desires to identify previously popular patterns and then suggest that they are happening again, yet the slope is way too far UP in order for me to consider the existence of any kind of meaningful bart within our midst.. especially if we consider from November 5th ($69k-ish) to present, and sure we can go all the way back to September 6th ($52.5k-ish) to get even a better zoomed-out view.

Anyone really going to express the BTC pricd to go straight up without having some pauses along the way?

Can you imagine the price dropping down to $20k and going quasi-sideways until 2028?

$200k is my lowest peak estimate for 2025.

That is a bit bullish - to expect $200k to be the lowest of your anticipated tops.. and I am not going to say that you are wrong.  I just hate to count my chickens before they hatch.

We have not even gotten past $108k, yet.


For sure it is looking like my early 2024 projection of $120k to $180k within 2024 is looking a bit of a stretch to still achieve within the next 5-ish days.. not impossible, but not very high probabilities  either.. maybe odds of less than 30%?

$200k is my lowest peak estimate for 2025.
yep trump gets in and passes some god awful bills for btc and shit coins.
the rugs will be the biglyest ever
I cashed out enough I would get to be a larger coiner.

Or it could do what I think. 90-110 til he get sworn in. then we take off in feb when he passes some good laws for btc.

I am pretty sure that you have had several opportunties to buy on the dip, and sure maybe you did not actually act upon such opportunities, so why would this time be any different?  You weren't exactly backing up trucks  to buy bitcoin when we were in the $20k range in 2022.. If I recall you were doing some variation of the opposite.

Regarding whether we pump or dump or get caught in a range until January 20th, I kind of expect a continued UPpity until at, near, or around January 20, then a dump.. except perhaps if there were some kind of amazing announcement regarding bitcoin, yet i have my doubts that even good announcements about bitcoin will resist mid-to-late January early February dump.

Of course, how far we would dump may well depend upon how far we are able to pump before then.  I am not going to attempt to call either with any detail, yet getting a supra $120k pump almost seems like a pump for ants, even though I would not want to overly state any expectations, either.

A purposeful rug pull or an automatic sell the news event can't be ruled out folks. We've been there a few times already. It's best to be pee-pared for both uppity and downity, as our local AI-powered bot likes to say.

I have a hard time imagining a dump bringing dee cornz below $85k at this time, prior to getting into the supra $115k territories first.. .. so maybe I might sorcerer wannabe proclaim: $115k prior to $83k?  I am not sure if that is bettable beyond 50/50-ish... and my BTC holdings is already bet long in that direction.

Self-Custody is a right. Say no to"Non-custodial"
....At the same time, I would suggest that you are wrong in regards to your description of the vulnerability being ameliorated by having a stronger pin number, which I believe hardly does shit if someone has  physical access to the device with a non-secure element.  
....
no no JJG .... The PIN is used to encrypt the seed on your device. A strong (long) PIN cannot be cracked via brute force, so it's not possible to decrypt your seed when someone gets hold of your device.
That's why Trezor enabled PINs with 50 digit length (maybe longer), when they fixed the vulnerability of physical access a few years ago.  

Means, if your PIN is long enough (has enough entropy) nobody can get the seed out of your device.
No (un)secure element needed !

I recall that the security breach of having physical access to the Trezor was from several years ago, and I thought that the ONLY remedies was avoiding physical access to the Trezor and/or having a passphrase, as is stated in this Kraken Blog article.  The Article describes brute forcing the pin too, yet I cannot recall the pin being less vulnerable based on length and complication, even though what you say makes sense if they have to brute-force the pin, too.

Until I see something more clear, I will have to take what you are saying about the creation of a more robust pin (as the solution to the problem) with a grain of salt.

plications to potentially lock us out of our coins, too..
just to pile on, these are ones ive owned
used Trezor One since they came out   -  no probs (but hardware itself can be compromised if someone has physical access to it and the equipment)
use Trezor T since they came out    -  no probs
used Ledger - FUCK NO   nothing but risk here. stay away
afaik, that's not true anymore. It depends all on the lengths of your PIN
If a bad person (who knows something or knows someone who knows something), they can get you private keys (or your seed words) in a matter of 15 minutes (or something like that), so they can get anything on your non-passphrase wallet, and your pin doesn't do anything.  But they cannot get you passphrase wallets unless they are able to guess them or brute-force them.
yeah, but we talked about the attack vector of physical access to the device.. (with regard to secure elements)

A passphrase should always be used, secure element or not

I understand that the passphrase provides an extra layer of security, yet it seems that the passphrase is way more justified with a non-secure element device.  I have not heard about the seed phrase being extracted from secure element kinds of devices, whether Trezor or otherwise... yet I also don't claim to be a technical guru or to follow security vulnerabilities in details if it is not coming out in some kind of more generally release kind of way or being mentioned in one of the forum threads.

....At the same time, I would suggest that you are wrong in regards to your description of the vulnerability being ameliorated by having a stronger pin number, which I believe hardly does shit if someone has  physical access to the device with a non-secure element.  ....

I mentioned that for the  t-one. you can write a really long pin.  
but JJG may be recalling this hack of the trezor 1

https://jochen-hoenicke.de/crypto/trezor-power-analysis/
Conclusion
Side channel attacks are not as difficult as many people think. A simple power analysis requires only a simple oscilloscope and that can hardly be called expensive laboratory equipment. You also need basic soldering skills and deep knowledge about the code that is running. It took only a single recording of the computation of the public key, to recover the private key. On the bright side, this simple side channel attack can be mitigated by using constant-time code and as I showed this code does not have to be slow.

The new firmware 1.3.3 is immune against this attack since it (1) requires a PIN to compute the public key and (2) uses branch-free computations for deriving the public key from the private key.
There is no complete protection against all kind of attacks. If your TREZOR gets stolen and it has no passphrase protection (or if the passphrase is weak), you should transfer the coins to a different wallet. There are other attack vectors like fault injection that could still be used and may get around the PIN protection. Basically, they use the fact that the microprocessor does unexpected things if power supply or the clock signal is broken. These are much more difficult to perform, but they are probably less expensive than using an electron microscope to read the seed from the chip. Also, there may be a bug in the microprocessor that allows for circumventing the read-out protection.
but this should not happen any more since the firmware should be updated and you should have a longer pin

Sure I agree with your description that the pin encrypts the private key and/or the seed .. but I am pretty sure that I had read that the pin was also vulnerable to fairly quick brute forcing.. and I cannot remember how..  and yeah, I am not sure if longer pins help to make it more difficult to extract the seed phrase from the non-secure element Trezors when the attacker has physical access to it.

I wonder where are JJG's Gay Christmas cards ??
