Privacy is a Human Right - Bitcoin Q&A
You’re more likely to lose the seed than to have it stolen. That’s the reality. Physical barriers are better than cryptography. Keep it simple, don’t tell people about your money. Be kind.
Wow, just watched an eye-opening analysis of Bitcoin's latest price twists. It's amazing to see the impact of funding rates, media hype, and big players' actions on the market. This crypto journey is full of surprises, and insights like these are invaluable. It really highlights the power of technical analysis in navigating these waters. For anyone on the fence, now's a thrilling time to dive in and potentially ride the wave to success. The market's complexities are surprising now, but also full of opportunities for the savvy investor...At the heart of this evolution is Russell Greener, whose deep understanding of both cryptocurrency and traditional trading has been instrumental. His holistic approach to investment and commitment to staying abreast of market trends make him an invaluable ally in navigating this new era in cryptocurrency investment..
He mostly interacts on Telegrams, using the user-name,

Q1: 1:15:00 travelling in the dodgy middle of nowhere (no ATMS (or they swallowed all your weird foreign fiat cards) but hot wallet payments work), your hardware wallet is compromised and a new hardware wallet can't be ordered to your moving location and will take time...what would be most viable to move funds off the compromised hardware wallet? 1: DIY USB hardware wallet (bought quickly at a local shop) and installed via an SBC or some 3rd party's computer (end-to-end encrypted chat message to obtain backup mnemonic) 2: old phone in offline airplane mode (bought quickly from somewhere/someone and reset) 3: SBC bought new asap 4: internet cafe dodgy computer to download a hot wallet 5: CEX can't be used as travels are long term Q2: Passphrase backup suggestions? Timelocks, blockchain Wills...how do passphrase backups work (another engraved stainless steel rod or rocks?) and any FOSS or good suggestions please?
Chilling at the house going old school and still relevant. Andreas gave me the vision of what could be.
That is until you drop the hardware wallet or forget the password or it gets too close to a magnet.
Hi!! I come from the future, the year 2024 to be precise. It's not going as planned... You did not take into account that maybe people like to be opressed, they like to be submissive. Because its easier. Many simple cannot bear the full responsability. They prefer the confort zone of oppression: See you in 6 more years... i really, REALLY hope time prooves me wrong.
It took me four years to discover that forecasting the market based on charts is pointless; you never know what will happen. Without a mentor, those four years were miserable. Now, I watch market trends and keep things basic and disciplined. I currently earn an average of $35k every week, despite the fact that I barely trade myself.
As a beginner investor, it’s essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable. Myself, I’m guided by Alex Gomez. A widely known crypto consultant

@AlexRcoin THAT IS THE USER NAME THAT IS HIS USER NAME
What a fucking LEGENG!!!
Watching 5 years on, none foreseeable future is now around the corner. Do we need to start worrying? 🤔
You didn’t mention the infrastructure of Financial institutions that are being replaced by cryptocurrency mining, those building’s and and skyscrapers consume a great deal of energy it doesn’t seem to get mentioned add to that the transportation requirements of employees, some with very long commutes. A fission reactor is starting to come online soon, it truly advanced, instead of just incrementing generation number like is done for uranium PWR. It’s called Thorium Molten Salt Reactors and because of the more then half century of red tape and bureaucratic roadblock it will have to be made in China 🇨🇳, it’s has greater safety and efficiency, shorter radioactive waste storage time, more abundant fuel supply the list go on.
I remember when I just got into crypto back in 2019 but later in 2020 I ended up selling it because I was dumb and I didn't understand it. I studied and learned and now I know how it works. Got back into crypto early in 2023 with 10k and I’m up with 128k in a short period of time .This comment serves as motivation for all those who have invested and continue to invest in cryptocurrencies with so many losses, do not give up, cryptocurrencies can change your life. Do your best to connect with the right people and you will surely see changes.
How can one start,most times people don't know where to start when it comes to crypto. But it would be great if you can provide proper guidance on steps to follow please

Unfortunately, not all of us were financially literate early. I was 35 when I finally educated myself and started taking steps. I went from $176,000 in debt with zero savings or retirement to now, 2 years later, fully debt-free and over $1,000,000 net worth. I know that doesn't SOUND like a lot, but I'm incredibly proud of it. Now I'm fast-tracking my wealth building (investing $400,000 annually) and don't owe a dime to anyone. It's a good feeling!
What if you made a paper wallet into a digital wallet, so you could send it digitally acrossed a trusted network or trusted connection? Like sending passwords over the open internet but blocking thr password with the astericks? That could work! Right?
I love this dude. Mr. Andreas Antonopoulos. Full of SUPER Knowledge and Wisdom. But is Funny with his presentation.😂😂😂 I'm learning so much. The most important thing I've learned is that I was a puppet to the world system. Thanks
if it is not about price, what if the bitcoin were down 80% since u bought and never comeback?
Recurring payments are more a matter of deviance than convenience, if "deviance" and "devious" have an overlapping definition.
Hey anyone reading this understands what aantonop said at 19:50? "an identifier must be available to someone". sounds scary!
Andreas, as usual, with mostly crappy advice
*miknick_tech* he's such a kind soul bless you more for recovering my account for me i really appreciate may all your heart desires be achieved I'm really pumped you actually saved years of depression thank you so much I'm so grateful i reaally can't wait to show some love back someday.

People will come here in the future hoping they could go back in time to see this earlier.
Haha this mf just taught me Multisig. Appreciate the granularity and fast-paced nature (forces people to pay attention).
To imagine most of people do not believe bitcoin in 2024.

You are the best bitcoin guy on UA-cam. But in this video I was hoping to hear some rational reasons for buying / not buying bitcoin ETFs. The VR analogy was funny, but not informative.
You are the best crypto guy on UA-cam.
really interesting, thank you!
Can you please explain to me crypto and why it's value. And dose have future. Also dose governments around the world gonna regulations crypto. Plus if government regulating crypto. Is it going to be stability. What crypto produces to be valued
We are still early
this video is five years old, is 6-8 words still your recommendation or has that changed?
Very informative.
Here in 2024. Holy man, this dude was ahead of its time. Crazy that now in 2024, Bitcoin is a main topic in this upcoming US election. Buy buy buy!!

listening to this in 2024 rings so much different than it did in 2017
Andreas please do an updated talk. We need it to educate the more people
I'm clueless to Bitcoin but eager to learn.
I watch this every year or two and it’s amazing how much foresight Andreas had from the beginning.
If by some way the private key is compromised and as a result we generate a new private key using the seed, Can the compromised key still be used to access the funds?
