She has a knack for simplifying complex issues, whether it's a market surge or decline. Her approach consistently keeps you ahead of the curve. I'd call her a guru, for sure

    • @laetice03
      @laetice03 14 днів тому

      The beauty of her approach is her dual focus: while she aggressively pursues profit opportunities, she's equally tenacious about shielding investors from potential pitfalls. It's a balance few can achieve.

      Nice to see this here. A lot of folks downplay the role of advisors until they’re burned by their own emotions-no offense. I remember last year, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, so I researched licensed advisors and thankfully came across Loraine. She’s helped grow my reserve, despite inflation, from $152k to nearly a 7-figure sum as of today..Her insights and daily siignals are worth following.

    @charlesmiller6281 15 днів тому

    I have a hard time with videos like this that don’t make it clear to average users just how incredibly unlikely such attacks are to be made let alone carried out successfully. For example, just the other night I was talking with a Swan custody expert about multi sig and security issues a lot like this and he freely admitted the biggest problem is the range of users. On the one end are users like the guy making this video who understands wallets in detail. On the other end are millions who think the bitcoin is actually in the wallet. My fear is those low resolution users hear stories like this and are scared away. When in reality this is by far the most secure method anyone before in history ever had. And tldr, this whole video boils down to use your hardware wallet for long term cold storage not lots of little daily transactions. Saved you half an hour.

    • @IanMajor
      @IanMajor 14 днів тому

      It’s impossible to produce content that caters to everyone - I agree with that sentiment. A good portion of my audience is further up the learning curve and appreciate this level of detail vs. oversimplified tidbits about what to do/not to do, so this type of content is as you might expect catered to… wait for it… my audience. A good hardware wallet is indeed the most secure way for a user to secure their bitcoin and at no point here do I suggest the contrary. In fact I have an entire playlist and hundreds of videos dedicated to advocating exactly that.

    • @charlesmiller6281

    In order to take advantage of the information given in this video, one would need a knowledge base that most don't have. It was a bit of an education just to learn how to self custody, but to now go further and learn to use the tools needed to verify certain coded information, opens up a new world of expanded self custody responsibility. I suppose that's the cost of reliance on one's self to secure your future. There are many gaps in my understanding of the full scope of self custody, that I had better get on the ball. Thank you for the alarm.
