Protecting your crypto

Recommended Posts

These rules of investment protection are very useful. It is a very efficient and safe hardware wallet and does not cost much. I think anyone can afford to buy a Ledger Nano S.
ICO projects are pretty much a scam, so rule number 3 can be excluded.

To protect my crypto token I must store it at the safest wallet of course before anything else. And that wallet that I used so far was Nano ledger, or trust wallet, these two are both helped in years now or more.

Yes, use a hardware wallet the software doesn't have access to your private keys. Never create an eth wallet from MeW as it shows your private key once which can be accessible from someone else.

Why? Does using MEW now is not safe? As far as I know, this apps has been used by many of the community in this field of industry, and I don't see any problems using this wallet anyway.

MEW is safe, my friend. Don't get me wrong. However, it gives you the private key when you generate a wallet. Hackers can reach out that private key.

Yeah, I knew that, but it will just happen only if you click some of the wrong site or phishing site, were in the end the hacker can able to have all your access to your private key or password. But as long as you're clicking any phishing site I think that would be no problem at all.

To protect our crypto you should.

1. Do not use public WiFi networks when opening your wallet or exchange account. 2. Frequent antivirus updates on your computer so that your computer is free of malware. 3. Never access a phishing website. 4. Save your password or private key wallet properly so that no one else knows.

Yes that's right being careful is one of the best thing we can do for now, aside from that, we should know also the safest and best wallet that we need to use were in the end we won't regret why we choose.

I will do all my best to protect my crypto and I won't let anyone know my whereabouts of my private keys. I will soon memorize all my private keys. If someone want to get access to it. Definitely he need to get acces to.my brain.

If you memorized it that's good but better to keep it on you USB or paper wallet was also much safer if you do it.

I agree with you, but need somewhere that is safer and unreachable to anybody. Don't want to fall victim to scammer again. That why I will try my best to secure it.

that's good sir, at least you know how to secure coins and where to put it to store them at the right wallet, keep it up and I know majority of us don't want to lose our assets and steal only by the hackers or whatever.

You can protect much of your funds in your wallet only when you use a trust wallet app

It's only about that mate. Sometimes you can fucked up like download something suspicious online or click into something suspicious and got a virus or malware that can hacked your wallet. It's from you, not from the wallet itself.

Stored in a safe place, a backup of your wallet can protect you against computer failures and many human mistakes. It can also allow you to recover your wallet after your mobile or computer was stolen if you keep your wallet encrypted.

The wallet backup is usually list of seed words that are used to recover private key, and thus recovering whole wallet. It is best to put paper with seed words in some watertight container to keep it safe from water and put that container in a secret place. It is good to have more copies just in case one copy of list get lost or something happens to it.

Since I have already done a mistake sending BTC Now I double-triple check the receiver address before sending, even IF I sending only 5$, any typo and you lose it, so it is better be safe than sorry.

My best suggestion for you will be to use Electrum and use a multiSig wallet. A 2/2 one will do.

This way you will have more chances to stay safe and this checking you can do very easily:

1. Sign the tx using one key and export the tx for the 2nd key.

2. When you will load the exported tx for the 2nd key to sign you can check the addresses and there will be no doubt that this will give you any wrong measurement. Once everything looks good then sign and broadcast the tx.

Pretty safe.

 Two important advice

Don't let your assets stay on exchange too long Always be careful before investing in ICO - research the team and the project

Also avoiding scam exchanges is very important. Try to use good and famous exchanges like Binance and Yobit to store your coins.

Btw people do you use cold wallets? They can add to security too, because no one can access them when not in use.

One who has a decent amount of BTC needs to use it for security obviously. I have a Ledger Nano S and I have it since they launch it but I tell you what? 

I feel more comfortable to put my coins in a multiSig wallet. And I have moved my coins to there from the Ledger Nano S long ago. @hexwin knows it better 😆

If you have private key or copy of mnemonic phrase, don't save it on cloud storage.

Choose some exchanger or online wallets which have a good/superior security. 

Don't ever believe or give anyone you didn't know toa access into your wallet.

People can be protected with all that measures at some extent but scammers will make their way, so I think the most important thing is to be updated of every action of the scammers with the news and learning from mistakes of others.

Always use Two Factor Authentication (2FA) when dealing with exchanges or any other sites. SMS 2FA can easily be hacked and is not secure.

Myetherwallet was subject of phishing attack not long ago... I guess that 2FA gives more security to this wallet.

But personally I like to use wallets that I can fully control, and not web wallet.

So the only option for you is the exchange wallet but here you will need alot of security and 2FA protection. Another option for you is to keep crypto asses in paper wallet. All the options are best. But if you are victim of Hijacking attack and remote access trap then nothing can sdave you because with this method any one can access all your assests and private keys etc. So better option is to choose the high security wallets and 2FA is the most important part of Trading. Thats why 2FA save you in the end when some one have full login credientals but at the initial or at the time of withdraw 2FA save you from all. I'm not talking email 2FA. I talking SMS or Google 2zFA 🙂 .

Top exchanges have a very good security and usually compensate the clients in case of attacks. But you have to know that you do not have a private key there, so you do not own coins.

The best to protect your cryptos is to take your private keys and hide them somewhere no one will find ever find out, only you will know the location of your treasure and keep it that way.

this is the right way to do it for long term investments but many people just use online wallets because they find it very hard to control their own wallet

    • CryptoNews of the Week     – On Monday, 24th June, for the first time since 3rd May, the price of bitcoin fell below $60,000, reaching $58,468 at one point. Ethereum, meanwhile, dropped below $3,250. “The market is struggling to digest large sales,” Bloomberg quoted Caroline Mauron, head of Orbit Markets. Although it is difficult to pinpoint the exact source of the current selling pressure, several contributing factors can be identified. The issues in the crypto market reflect the overall instability in global financial markets and uncertainty regarding monetary and regulatory policies in several leading countries, particularly China and the USA. Moreover, in mid-June, the German government began selling a large quantity of bitcoin (approximately 50,000 BTC) that was confiscated in January. Bearish sentiments intensified following reports of imminent payments of about 140,000 BTC to creditors of the bankrupt crypto exchange Mt. Gox, which are set to begin in July. Popular trader Bob Loukas believes that in anticipation of this event, the flagship crypto asset’s prices reached their lowest level in the last eight weeks yesterday. Additionally, it became known that bitcoin miners' reserves reached a 14-year low as they were forced to sell a significant amount of coins to cover operational expenses due to the halving.   – In the absence of positive signals, the demand for spot bitcoin ETFs continues to decline, with major market participants slowing their activity in the derivatives market, further creating downward pressure. According to 10x Research, throughout the past week, US spot BTC-ETFs recorded investor outflows, with net outflows exceeding $105 million on 21st June. Earlier, Ki Young Ju, CEO of the investment company CryptoQuant, calculated that over the past two weeks, bitcoin whales and miners reduced their positions on over-the-counter platforms by $1.2 billion. 10x Research analysts believe that bitcoin will now need to find a new price range to stabilize the fall and then look for growth catalysts. In the medium term, according to 10x Research analysts, BTC is unlikely to return above $70,000.  It should be noted that according to JPMorgan analysts, the cost of bitcoin mining is $53,000. This support could become the lower boundary of the price range. However, back in March, JPMorgan did not rule out that after the April halving, bitcoin might temporarily drop to even $42,000.   – Popular analyst Matthew Hyland noted that the total balance of bitcoin on centralized exchanges has reached a multi-year low. In theory, this could be seen as a bullish signal, but the flagship of the crypto market is not yet showing upward momentum. It is expected that the publication of key US economic data in the coming week could serve as a vector for the further movement of cryptocurrencies. If macro statistics increase the likelihood of the Fed starting to ease monetary policy and the first interest rate cut as early as September, this could support risky assets, including bitcoin. Experts from Cryptology believe that the chances of bitcoin hitting an all-time high by the end of September are quite high and that the current situation is a phase of accumulation.   – Andrew Kang, co-founder of the venture company Mechanism Capital, stated that Ethereum’s price could correct by 30%, falling to $2,400 after spot ETFs for ETH are approved. In his opinion, at this stage, the main altcoin attracts much less attention from institutional investors compared to bitcoin. Based on this, ETH-ETFs will be able to attract only 15% of the funds compared to what BTC-ETFs received at launch. Kang noted that to increase Ethereum's attractiveness to investors, its ecosystem needs to be positioned as a decentralized financial settlement layer, a global computer, or a Web3 application store. At the same time, selling funds on new uses for Ethereum will be difficult since the asset is perceived by investors as an overvalued stock of one large tech company.   – Unlike Andrew Kang, SkyBridge Capital CEO Anthony Scaramucci believes that Ethereum's price could reach $10,000-12,000. As for bitcoin, the entrepreneur anticipates it could grow to $170,000-250,000. The main driver here will be the institutional adoption of cryptocurrency. Scaramucci called the approval of spot exchange-traded ETFs a significant regulatory barrier breakthrough for attracting new capital. According to him, this will soon result in digital gold comprising about 3% of large players’ portfolios.   – Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase has been listed among American brands most often impersonated by scammers to deceive their victims. According to analysts at Mailsuite, from January 2020 to March 2024, the Coinbase brand was used in 416 scam schemes and phishing attacks.  Mailsuite studied 1.14 million incidents in total, in which scammers impersonated a well-known company or organisation more than 249,000 times. Among traditional firms, Facebook/Meta was the most popular American brand among scammers, mentioned in 10,457 recorded fraud cases. Next were the US Internal Revenue Service (9,762 incidents), Apple (9,110), Amazon (8,919), Steam (4,833), and Microsoft (4,518). Internationally, scammers prefer Japanese firms, with mobile operator au (18,964 cases) and railway company JR East (18,250) leading the list.   – The US Federal Bureau of Investigation has issued a warning about fake law firms promising to recover lost crypto assets from scammers or government agencies.  Scammers pose as authorised lawyers from government departments, including the FBI, and offer assistance in recovering previously lost or confiscated digital assets. The FBI recommended being wary of such service advertisements, especially when pseudo-lawyers demand advance payments and request sensitive financial information and personal data.   – Former Goldman Sachs CEO Raoul Pal predicted significant growth for bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market in Q4 2024. Speaking on the podcast "The Wolf Of All Streets," the financier noted that risky assets like bitcoin usually rally during US presidential elections. "The final quarter of an election year is a real ‘banana zone’ for all assets. It’s always like that," Pal optimistically stated, adding that the ‘banana zone’ for cryptocurrencies in the autumn is much more pronounced than, for example, for the Nasdaq index.   – MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor is convinced of the potential for the first cryptocurrency to grow to $10 million, supported by China and other factors.  He believes that in the future, governments, especially China, will fully accept the first cryptocurrency and integrate it into state infrastructure.  Calling bitcoin a "perfect asset," the entrepreneur explained that digital gold acts as a "corporate machine" that will allow companies to "live forever." He is confident that firms investing in bitcoin can last longer than those "mired in corporate ailments of the past." "The average lifespan of a corporation is about 10 years. […] We’re talking about eliminating corporate mortality; we’re talking about easily increasing economic viability by ten, a hundred, or maybe a million times," added the MicroStrategy founder. Saylor also called all economic tools that appeared before bitcoin outdated. "Before Satoshi Nakamoto, economics was a pseudo-science. All economists before Satoshi tried to develop economic laws using shells, glass beads, bits of paper, and credit instruments," the businessman emphasized.  Recall that MicroStrategy is one of the world's largest holders of bitcoin. In June 2024 alone, it purchased 11,931 BTC.   – Founder and CEO of tech giant Dell Group Michael Dell expressed interest in bitcoin in correspondence with Michael Saylor. The situation has caused a stir in the cryptocurrency community for several reasons. Dell was among the top 10 richest people in the world in 1999 and 2000. He periodically appeared in the top 20 afterward. At the same time, the entrepreneur himself has positively commented on the digital industry. In 2021, he publicly stated that blockchain technology is highly undervalued. His company, Dell Technologies, accepted bitcoin as a payment method from 2014 to 2017. However, this option was later removed due to "low demand," as explained by the company. Now, the billionaire posted a statement on his page regarding the value of bitcoin and published another note on this topic.   – Ahead of the US presidential election, former cryptocurrency advisor Carole House has returned to work with Joe Biden’s team. "It is an honour for me to return to the Biden administration, where I hold the position of special advisor on the White House National Security Council," House wrote on her LinkedIn. In 2022, Carole House co-authored Biden’s executive order on cryptocurrencies and digital assets. Her return to the White House signals an improvement in the US president’s attitude towards cryptocurrencies.   – Matt Hougan, CIO of Bitwise, which manages cryptocurrency funds, cited three reasons why long-term investments in both bitcoin and ethereum have advantages over investments in bitcoin alone. These are: 1. portfolio diversification, 2. the ability to profit from vastly different ecosystems, and 3. economic benefits.  Given the difference in capitalization levels between bitcoin and ethereum, Matt suggests investing 75% of capital in BTC and 25% in ETH. According to the report, from May 2020 to May 2024, the return on such an investment portfolio was 3% higher annually than one in which bitcoin alone accounts for 100%.  However, Hougan acknowledges that in the short term, a portfolio consisting solely of bitcoin outperforms a diversified one. Additionally, investing solely in bitcoin carries less risk due to its higher market capitalization and features such as limited coin issuance and gradual reduction of inflation to zero.

    • 🔝Bernstein о перспективах биткоина🔝 Эксперты Bernstein пересмотрели прогноз стоимости bitcoin, ожидая увеличения до $200 тысяч к завершению следующего года и до $1 миллиона через десять лет. Основной причиной будет увеличение востребованности bitcoin-ETF. Специалисты сообщают, что вложения в биткоин-ETF к следующему году достигнут $190 млрд. Bernstein также прогнозирует, что капитализация криптовалют утроится и составит $7,5 триллионов. Они ожидают, что биткоин достигнет капитализации $3 трлн, Ethereum — $1,8 трлн, а суммарная стоимость Solana и Avax — $1,4 трлн. Этот рост будет вызван институциональным внедрением и развитием экосистем.
