Welcome! I cover All Things Bitcoin to help you become financially self-sovereign in a world determined to control you.
We live in a world bursting with potential but held back by a broken monetary system in which political and financial elites benefit at the expense of others through fiat currency debasement. Layer on the modern zenith of politics, big government, and collectivist morals, and we find ourselves in a softening society with destruction of wealth, encroachment on individual freedom, increases in inequality, and erosion of integrity and collaboration.
As the saying goes, "Fix the money, fix the world"...

This is obviously NOT KYC. It makes this a "coinbase" with a few perks.
Mein Gott! Comparison starts at 19:05 !!!!! 😆
Thank you for the video! :) What happens once the inbound liquidity of 0.5m is reached, does Voltage automatically expand it, or you need to settle with an onchain transaction? (Sorry for the newbie question!)
Far from dead. Nostr is only worming up. The big boom will come.
Thanks bro brilliant video. Am getting jam
I have a spare 2TB external HDD. Is it OK to use this instead of SSD?
For the life of me, i dont get why the two major political parties dont care about privacy. Maybe one or two congress men might slip some statement out once a year then silent on the topic. Soooo damn annoying..its a major issue and the masses seem drugged to it. Do more videos on selling it with privacy.. That seems to be the hard part..
Superb video. Thanks!
Good move towards wealth ❤❤ plsi need friends to join me in
NOSTR is ALIVE ! I love NOSTR, trying to go NOSTR only, but kinda hard to lose the network from IG and Tiktok.
Thanks!
I'm looking to run lightning node on umbrel home, is that reliable? does umbrel home able to run multiple like bitcoin node and lightning node at the same time?
So how do you advise we coinjoin to consolidate UTXOs since this feature has been removed in sparrow?

I had a little bit of anxiety when he showed the seed phrase on cam LOL
Ian thanks for the info.I have alot of questions about crypto
Non-KYC is the only way for the future. I'm not interested in anything else. It's time for centralized governments to no longer exist.

i hate updating firm ware on my hardware wallet because i dont know what im downloading, is it better to just never update the hardware wallet ever?
also what is the point of firm ware updates? i can still send transactions without updating right?
What do you think of the Trezor wallet?
Soon VRS by Versidium will moon, 200x in my opinion
Versidium Network is the future of digital transactions. Get in early for biggest gains!
The Versidium ecosystem is top-notch. Can't wait to see it grow!
Do yourself a favor and check Versidium ICO, nothing to lose, everything to gain!
Versidium's presale is a game-changer. Early adopters will be rewarded!
Just got my VRS tokens! Versidium is going places!
My top pics for this bull run: Trias, Verasity and Versidium
Versidium is revolutionizing digital payments. Big things are coming!
Best presale of the year goes to Versidium! Don't miss out!
Eagerly awaiting the impact of Versidium on the crypto market. The presale is just the beginning of what promises to be a groundbreaking journey
Too long. Would be nice if less froth and more to the point. Time is valuable.
Good info but way too tricky for average person.
Staying abreast of the latest trends and strategies is crucial for traders to stay ahead and make well-informed decisions. Beginners in trading and investing must recognize that success in these fields demands technical analysis, emotional maturity, and self-discipline. Thanks to Loraine Souvenir’s insights, daily trade signals, and my dedication to learning, I've been increasing my daily earnings. Kudos to the journey ahead!
I've just looked up her full name on my browser and found her webpage without sweat, very much appreciate this
It's unexpected to come across her name here. She understands every beginner’s intention and fix you to a trading course that matches your capacity, she knows her stuff! Her advice has been invaluable to my trading journey. Definitely worth giving a shot!
It's truly refreshing to see a comment about Loraine Souvenir. I've also had the pleasure of working with her for several months after discovering more about her online. 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
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.
What is the best strategy to succeed in the market now for someone with more or less than £5000?
There are strategies that could be put in place for solid gains regardless of economy situation, but such execution is usually carried out by an investment specialist.
You need someone who gets the market and can execute trades perfectly
Very true. Despite having no prior investing knowledge, I started investing before the pandemic and pulled in a profit of approximately 130k that same year. In reality, all I was doing getting professional advice.
You need someone like stephany Reuben
how do I connect with Steph? I would appreciate if you show me how to go about it.
Very click baity.
Sorry to hear you were offended by a thumbnail. If you have any substantive feedback on the content, I would love to hear it.
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.
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.
So you're saying that I'm totally safe, using my Jades via USB.
Nothing is perfect. But the Jade in USB mode protects against this specific type of attack
@IanMajor that's what I meant. Ok, thank you for verifying.
@peacew6 👍
Great video thank you
Clear
If I don't trust the firmware, why should I trust the hash from the same web page that I downloaded the firmware from?
Thank you. Great explanations.
is the kangaroo in the image a reference to Pollard's Kangaroos ?
Correct!
Great video. So well explained. My question is about the optional passphrase aka hidden wallet. Does having one add additional protection with this type of attack?
No the passphrase could be derived from the same attack, it may just take more than 1 transaction for the information to be derived.
Absolutely! This attack is based on the finite list of seed words. Your paraphrase can be anything, making this attack considerably more difficult if not impossible.
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.
Great stuff
This would've been an amazing 5-10 min video
Tough to produce content that caters to everyone - a lot of my audience appreciates a deeper level of detail and if you look at my other content you will typically see longer form stuff as a result
Thanks Brother and I'm sure Coldcard users thank you as well 😊
Does it work in the USA?
Yep
@@IanMajor what is the maximum amount I can deposit?
Since I’ve already bought all my Bitcoin through centralized KYC exchanges is it worth it for me to switch to buying from Bisq or other non KYC if I’m only buying small amounts? Usually like $100 worth each time.
What about single use wallets for outgoing transactions? Would be a test transaction before the wallet sweep transaction be sufficient for dark skippy to exfiltrate the seed?
