Ledgers are nice. I've got an S and an X, though with current offerings, I'd probably get the S+. More memory than the older S and no Bluetooth like the X has.
And before someone makes an uneducated or snarky comment about memory not mattering for storing coins, it does if you have assets on multiple chains. Many chains require their own App on the device, and the older S model could only have 3-4 at any given time due to it's limited memory. You'd have to delete and replace apps or use multiple devices. It was enough of a complaint they bumped the Memory up on them for the S+ |

I was unfortunately not there, but given the point in which it happened in Bitcoin's life cycle it was a make or break time period for the asset. This present situation is a lot less significant. Bitcoin has global branding and everyone has heard of it at this point. This is a blip. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Luopo: So should I be buying Bitcoin now? Depends on your time horizon. If you've got a short attention span like the people focused on the last 12 months instead of the last 12 years, I'd probably sit tight. Crypto winters are long and hard. If you are looking forward to the next halving event which is in 2024 and beyond then I think now is as good a time as any. Might go lower, might not, but either way Bitcoin is unlikely to remain hanging around $15k-$17k through the next block reward cycle (2024-2028) for better or worse. |

Watching folks try and pull money out of failing exchanges is delicious.
Yet, telling these idiots and fools to trust no "un-bank" is like telling them to pay off their credit cards. They just wont listen. I was using an old laptop and external backup drive for my wallet long before Ledger was cool. I now use Ledger and I dont look back. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Default-Gateway: I thought they already went belly up. Guess not. They were in trouble and FTX bailed them out. There are some assumptions that a good portion of the missing money went to keeping a few of those companies in trouble floating. Problem is they either didn't do anything, or not enough to change their company practices and so when their financial lifeline of FTX disappeared they once again are in a non sustainable financial position. |

New CEO of FTX, John Ray III, said the following in the bankruptcy filling for FTX.
Never in my career have I seen such a complete failure of corporate controls and such a complete absence of trustworthy financial information as occurred here. From compromised systems integrity and faulty regulatory oversight abroad, to the concentration of control in the hands of a very small group of inexperienced, unsophisticated, and potentially compromised individuals. This situation is unprecedented. FYI, this was the same guy brought in to handle the Enron bankruptcy and he thinks it's this bad. lol. |

Yes, I'm fine with it. Holding from $200/ea to $17,000/ea is A-OK with me despite the volatility in both directions along the way. You will find plenty of posts earlier on in this very thread where I anticipated that Bitcoin could drop to where we are today during a crash even back when we were riding high between $50k-$70k. I would say I'm on pretty well on record as not being blindsided by what's happening right now. |

The part that came after the hacking is what makes it comparable to FTX. IIRC, Mt. Gox was hacked a significant amount of time before they actually formally went under. One of the big scandals was how they KNEW they had been hacked and kept operating business as usual for a period of time hoping they could grow their way out of their problem before customers noticed. FTX was in the same boat in that last respect. SBF was hoping the market would turn around before anyone noticed that they were out over their skis. Funds are Safu guy decided to kick that rock over at the worst possible time and the rest is history. |

The Five Wildest Things in the FTX Bankruptcy Filing
1. FTX lent billions of dollars in customer funds to Bankman-Fried’s hedge fund, Alameda Research. 2. FTX corporate funds were used to buy homes and “personal items” for executives. 3. Expenses were approved by emoji. 4. FTX's auditing firm Prager-Metis lived in the metaverse (Decentraland). 5. Most digital assets “owned” by FTX were not secured. |

GNS has outperformed the entire crypto market in a 3 months time frame And Rabby wallet (a metamask replacement) is amazing. It has so many quality of life features over metamask that it's now my go to. It's run by the debank group and it's open source. I'm not going back to metamask. |

As I recall it, he was a crypto "true believer" type so it wouldn't shock me in the slightest if he hung on to something. IIRC he had mined all those BTC himself from the early days. He posted what he had into all the rigs and how long he'd been mining etc and someone figured out he could have just bought his BTC for what he'd paid for the mining rigs. He did not care. I seem to remember he cashed out at 1k not 500 but my memory isnt what it used to be. Yeah, it's tough to make mining pay even back then. I recall he was selling in November/December 2013 so it could have been anywhere between $500 to $1000 as things were moving pretty fast. I still remember being out to dinner with my cousin and joking that I was "up a car" since we sat down because it had gone up some crazy amount in a matter of an hour. If you can still find hourly data from that time-frame you can see there were some pretty crazy swings. People just getting in this last cycle have no idea. |

If so, anyone has issues transferring Matic from Coinbase Wallet to the Ellipal wallet? In my case, it shows the transfer was completed and successful on both ends. However, no Matic has made its way into my Ellipal. This is a first for me. Two previous crypto transfers went through and processed successfully before doing Matic which has not shown up. Was the receiving address a Polygon chain address or ERC20 address? @SERVED_USMC Whichever is supported on Coinbase when I purchased them. I tried looking on CB and it doesn't state. My guess would be ERC20. Ellipal states it supports ALL ERC20 Tokens on the Titan Wallet. Edit: Confirmed ERC20 on Ethereum |
