Holding BTC on a ‘1’ address is never wrong. ‘3’ is generally advised because it’s the most flexible. bc1 is the most advanced but not widely supported by exchanges.

By the way.. in the above chart, see the lil blip above the 2014? That was the late 2013 bubble.
Oh my God, wasn't that when it went from $67 or so to $1000? It seems so small now...
Also: Were those Cassicus coins ever hacked or anything? They seemed neat, but I always wondered if a second copy of the keys weren't kept somewhere....
I think after the coins were printed and sealed, he destroyed any copies of private keys he had, thus no way to get hacked, and the only copy is on the coin itself which you had to peel off the sticker.
Newer coins today have some sort of similar method. Not sure if you can trust them, they also sell unfunded coins for collectible purposes.
If you were going with physical coins to actually be used for trading, I'd go with an Opendime. Cheap enough you can buy a bunch and you fund it yourself.

Good afternoon Bitcoinland.
Bouncing along sideways... currently $52191USD/$66172CAD (Bitcoinaverage).
A nicer little breather in this lovely bull run. Coiling.
Go Bitcoin go.
Nice hat. Wear it with pride. You're not a joiner. You were conscripted.
You just figured that out?

This is to show that I'm not a (complete) curmudgeon and because it *is* kinda cool but I'm not a joiner so don't expect it to stick around for long 
Nice hat. Wear it with pride. You're not a joiner. You were conscripted.
-derp-
So we're in agreement then, you are a retard.You just figured that out?

don't know what happened to google trending, it seems Bitcoin is not as lively as 2017 when Bitcoin was first reported as a bubble (by a bunch of idiots)

He never came out and spent any of the coins.
It was found later that you could peel the sticker off with a bit of heat while keeping everything intact. That allowed you to see the private key and put the sticker back on.
So they're good for a keepsake but not good for transferring to someone else with the idea that you're the only one with the key.
And the government eventually cracked down him selling them so he could only sell the empty coins which you had to transfer your BTC onto them later.
It was one of many early innovations that was tried because we were all excited about making Bitcoin work. Back in the early days of bitcointalk there was so much activity around making Bitcoin awesome. Now it's just shilling. If you do a search for any useful information the search result is filled with 2011, 2012 posts.
There were certainly detractors but those were mainly based on the underlying economic principles of Bitcoin. Keynesians not liking deflationary currencies. They thought a currency should purposefully lose value over time. As a feature.

ill keep my legacy addys for the most part. i dont care about the bigger fees (as opposed to segwit) as its generally just a small fraction of the overall amount transferred anyway. i try to plan ahead and liquidate what i think ill need in the coming timeframe plus a bit of slop just because i know im an idiot and like shiny objects.
but yeah this messes up small transactions but isnt that what L2 is for?
sorry for my olde skoole legacy fixation. just another hobby for me.
You can set up a segwit wallet now, and then use new addresses from there as change when you spend some from your legacy addresses. Then at least future spends from native segwit addresses will have smaller fees.
It also disciplines you during the migration process. I only have legacy compatible addresses (segwit that begins with 3) for those who still need them, otherwise it's all segwit (bc1q...)
i do have some btc in segwit addys here and there.. on my phone and my trezor wound up with one from me not paying attention setting it up. so i will use segwit for smaller transactions. but i dont really do a lot of small stuff.
my mo is ill send an amount to an exchange to cash out, enough to finance my latest nefarious plan for world domination for a bit, and then just use that. and, well, since *everyone* accepts legacy.. long term corn is in legacy format for that reason.
i havent even bothered reading about the "3" vs "bc1" segwit addys yet. and ive been in this since 2011 lol wtf am i lazy af or what heh. i just know that legacy will last forever no maintenance needed.. well unless the quantum cats show up. dont we need to move it all once the quantum stuff gets near?

FULL DISCLOSURE: A sell order has been placed at a price target. Looking to officially take some profit to give us liquidity to start building on the land ASAP.
Well, you sold at 16.5k to free your love from slavery and the price since then has.... blown sky high. I fully support your selling again :-)
so basically, i should move my sells to ~200k from instead of merely ~100k USD like now.
got it.

If it was peer reviewed it would have been vetted and reviewed BEFORE publishing. That's the point of peer review, to keep from publishing wonky science, not address it after it gets published.
in the press statement they said it has happened a kind of peer review. their intention of publishing it now is to start a broader discussion about the consequences of "gain-of-function" research and how to regulate it in the future to protect the human race on planet Earth.
“The current coronavirus pandemic is not only dominating the current headlines, but will keep us busy for many years - not least because of its social and economic effects. Understandably, dealing with and coping with the Corona crisis has been the focus of topics in politics and the media for months. Even today, however, the critical, science-based examination of the question of the origin of the current pandemic is of great importance, because only on the basis of this knowledge can adequate precautions be taken to keep the probability of the occurrence of similar pandemics as low as possible in the future ", says Prof. Dr. Roland Wiesendanger.
The study was completed in January 2021 and initially distributed and discussed in scientific circles. The aim of the publication is to stimulate a broad discussion, particularly with regard to the ethical aspects of so-called "gain-of-function" research, which makes pathogens more contagious, dangerous and deadly for humans. "This can no longer only be a matter for a small group of scientists, but must urgently become the subject of public debate," says the author of the study.

do you remember on this worldwide COVID-19 crisis in 2020 and onwards? 
there is a strong evidence from an research of an scientist of the University of Hamburg that the source is the Wuhan laboratory.
it took a whole year to collect all points for evidence:

+++ 17:31 Hamburg researchers: there are indications that coronavirus comes from the laboratory +++
The Hamburg nanoscientist Roland Wiesendanger compiled various findings from scientific studies, articles, reports in social media and other sources in the period from January to December of last year and comes to the conclusion: The pathogen Sars-CoV-2 is not of natural origin, but comes from a laboratory in Wuhan.

The physicist cites the following points as evidence for these theories:
- To date, no so-called intermediate host has been identified that proves according to the "zoonosis theory" that the coronaviruses were transmitted from bats to humans.
- A research group at the virological institute in the city of Wuhan has carried out genetic manipulations on coronaviruses for many years with the aim of making them more contagious, dangerous and deadly for humans.
- There were significant safety deficiencies in the virological institute in the city of Wuhan even before the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, which are documented.
- Against the background of these and other factors, Wiesendanger writes: "In summary, it can be said that there are very many indications that a laboratory accident at the 'Wuhan Institute of Virology' appears to be by far the most likely cause of the corona pandemic."

Peer reviewed, no?
not yet. it's brand new and not all is translated to English. give the scientific community some time and that will be the bomb for something we cannot imagine yet i guess.
EDIT: there was some evidence from other sources in the past too but I was cautious with my conclusion and confident the truth will come to the light sometimes in the future.
If it was peer reviewed it would have been vetted and reviewed BEFORE publishing. That's the point of peer review, to keep from publishing wonky science, not address it after it gets published.

We have a long way to go..
2017 is still visible without a magnifying glass..
This.
We are not in a bubble, still. Every bubble was astonishing and surprising even to us, I'm not amused like now.
We need to reach 6 digits in a couple months or less for a proper bubble to happen, fuck we could even get there with a single week of constant 10% growth.
Please bitcoin, do something!
We are currently "stalled."
Didn't you get the memo, erre?

For corn price, my naive calculations put it around the 6th halving cycle or around 2028 about $3m and 2032 will then be closer to $10m.
For some of you guys, you're all set if you can just wait 10 years, while for some of us, we need to find a way to survive without spending what little we have until that escape velocity is reached.
As for gold, I may just get a bar ... just because. I already got a physical bitcoin token (no funding value, just a physical coin)... gold plated copper coin.
