Are you using a cold storage wallet? If so, which brand?

Yes, 100% offline.

As for the rest, the first rule of security is never letting anyone know what method you use.

I hear you. OFFLINE is the only way to go. I was initially going to start mining last week, but my time is better spent investing. Are you avoiding memecoins altogether?

Several months ago I looked up the wholesale price of a good tulip.

At the time it was sixty cents.

Also…it’s a joke. Don’t make tulip investments based on my posts.

As soon as AI figures out how to defeat block chain tech it’s over for cyber currency.

Really?

Banks have a couple hundred trillion under management. Bitcoin has about two.

Do you think they are going to waste all that AI power on bitcoin?

That argument falls apart pretty fast. Especially since AI has nothing to do with how that system could be “brute forced.”

You heard that somewhere and think it’s true. It’s not.

Every cyber scheme can be broken, even block chain.

Yes, I only have bitcoins due to a happy accident.

I literally paid $1000 for 20 or something and had ~3.65 left over that I essentially forgot about. When I figured out they had dramatically increased in value I moved them from the old laptop they happened to be on to secure device.

(After panicking that the laptop wasn’t booting, lol.)

I was initially mad that I spent 16.5 for something that cost $750 or so, then changed my mindset to being happy of having $450,000 or so found money.

It hasn’t been broken in 15 years. And people are trying hard to do it.

When AI is used to break cyber then it’s game over.
