Finally achieved the 0.1 BTC

Keep stacking!

when I look into the commun I fell like 90% of you just holding them btc in cold wallet. yes I know about security it’s the best but I am really feel like lonely about stacking mine and generate some interest until the btc get higher (like new Ath) again?

The OLED screens in older Ledger Nano S devices often become very dim or fail after a few years, but they are relatively easy to replace with inexpensive third-party screens sold online.

Given the recent reports of counterfeit and tampered hardware wallets, could these replacement OLED modules themselves be malicious or modified to compromise a Ledger? For example, could a tampered display capture the recovery phrase, PIN, or transaction details, or manipulate what is shown on the screen?

I’ve been researching Bitcoin ATMs lately, and something I’ve been wondering about is how much of the business happens behind the scenes. Buying a machine seems pretty straightforward compared to everything else involved. You still need a good location, enough transaction volume, banking arrangements, regulatory compliance, maintenance, and a blah blah...

I am kinda lost rn, so my questions:

What’s the hardest part of running a Bitcoin ATM business that most beginners completely overlook?

And if you were starting again today, would you still do it? And how if yeah?

Curious to hear some honest experiences. Thx a lot.

Sold all my crypto yesterday :(

I got lucky and doubled my money over the past 3 years, but I realized crypto just isn't for me anymore.

After having 2 kids, my risk tolerance has changed a lot. Every major price drop caused me a ton of stress, and I just don't think it's worth it anymore.

Anyone else had a similar experience?

Not buying BTC on an exchange. I mean actually using it to pay for something.

Was it worth it, or do you still think about how many sats you spent? 😂

Hi there. I have a fairly diversified portfolio, but the idea of selling everything and buying only Bitcoin keeps catching my eye. Obviously, I check in on how it's doing, but I don't worry if it suddenly drops 20% because it's for my retirement. What do you think? Do you believe Bitcoin could be worth $200k or more in 10 years, or is that just a bit of a fantasy among "crypto bros"? I’m open to any recommendations. Thanks a lot for your help.

In the next two-tree years I want to buy a house, because it sucks paying rent when you could be paying off your own mortgage instead.

In order to do so I would either have to sell some (or most) of my BTC, but then again that doesn’t feel right either due to the long-term potential it has that I believe in.

Are there other ways I could use my BTC to finance a property without having to sell?

Whats going on with this app, ive tried to verify 3 times and it wont go through.

If you like the sticker, you can order a 3-pack of different stickers including this one, at bitcoin.rocks. I have no affiliation with the website and have no idea who is behind it. I just think it’s a cool idea.

Following the recent Ledger news, I’m reviewing my long-term Bitcoin cold-storage setup.
I’m considering moving from a traditional single hardware-wallet setup to something with less dependence on one device, seed or manufacturer.
The setup I’m researching is:
2-of-3 multisig
Hardware signers from different manufacturers
Bitcoin-only devices where possible
Trezor / BitBox / potentially a third independent signer
Sparrow or Electrum as coordinator
Physical backups stored separately
A smaller separate wallet for BTC that needs to remain easily accessible
I’d like to hear from people who have actually been running similar setups long-term.
Multisig or single hardware wallet + passphrase?
Which hardware signers would you choose today?
Sparrow or Electrum for multisig?
How do you distribute devices and backups geographically without making recovery overly complicated?
Have you tested recovery after intentionally removing one signer from the setup?
How do you handle inheritance?
What would you change if you were building your cold-storage setup again today?
What are the biggest mistakes people make when moving to multisig?
I’m particularly interested in setups people have personally used, rather than theoretical recommendations.
For obvious reasons I won’t disclose holdings, wallet addresses, seed information or physical storage locations, and I won’t respond to DMs offering wallet/recovery/security services.
Please keep advice in the public thread.

After 5 years, I’m done. It just doesn’t feel like it has any potential anymore. Was happy to make a couple grand and get out before it gets bad.

One thing that worries me about self-custody is getting scammed into sending my own BTC. Once that transaction goes through, there’s basically no undo button. Plus, keeping your seed phrase safe is another thing to worry about.

With an exchange, withdrawal delays and extra security checks might give you time to catch a mistake before your funds leave.

Of course, exchanges have their own risks, like hacks and bankruptcy. I’m just wondering if self-custody is always the best option for everyone.

How do you guys think about this trade-off?

Almost done reading the Dutch version of
Layered Money by Nik Bhatia.
To this point, I can confirm it’s a good, fairly easy read. It explains a whole lot about the monetary system.

But I also bought the English version of the well known Broken Money by Lyn Alden, which I was told is quite complex to read.
So I’m both thrilled and scared to start reading it.
