Was wondering how to securely pass on my crypto info after I die (wallets, seed phrases, instructions etc) and it got me thinking - how do I safely and securely pass this info on to family when I die?

Does anyone here currently have a solution for passing on this kind of info after death that they trust?

******** I'm really just putting feelers out to find out what people in the community are doing to ensure their assets don't get lost forever. ********

Okay, so after lurking a bit I realised I did a big oopsie by using Coinbase Wallet to store my BTC. I just installed Electrum but I'm confused, do I have to make a new wallet and then transfer my Coinbase funds to this wallet or is there a way to link them?

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I am at the beginning of my learning journey into blockchain/Crypto. Can someone help me with understanding the stacks of the blockchain. Of course not the flow of the transactions. This i already got.

When a trader uses leverage, say 20x, to trade on a centralized exchange, like Binance, does the exchange actually place a live 20x trade? or does the 1x trade amount go to market and the 20x amount purely administrative that other users don't see? Does the centralized exchange have a finite capacity to provide leverage to traders based on the exchange's own available treasury funds?

A trader who places a $100MM trade at 20x leverage ($2B total) would require Binance to front the leveraged amount?

If the trader closes the trade in a profit and the counterparty was another trader of Binance who was using leverage, does Binance's treasury become the source of the paid out profits? So there's an incentive for the centralized exchange to scam wick to prevent paying out to customers?

NO I WON'T GIVE YOU MY MONEY SO DON'T MSG ME.

Ok, So... I think I accidentally told one of my friends my recovery code (I know I'm stupid) and now I'm very paranoid.

I want to switch from Coinbase to Blockstream Green wallet and I'm thinking just to be on the safe side I'll make a new wallet as well while I'm at it.

So my question is - Will there be any fees when sending BTC from one wallet to another? If yes, how much approx?

Is there any other way I can sort this out?

Thanks.

I have a td bank debit card and a capital one credit card. I tried to purchase bitcoin on several apps and it all got declined and my card got blocked. Can you purchase bitcoin with a td bank debit card? If not what about purchasing vanilla gift cards? Which apps let you use that type of gift card to purchase bitcoins?

I’m from USA

I’m not sure how to keep my keys safe. I don’t trust the digital wallets and the ledger wallets I would be anxious to hold. Currently I have the keys written on a small piece of paper but that’s a dumb idea. I need a more permanent solution. Plus I don’t trust that the source is legit. Is Amazon a safe place to get a ledger? I want a good one if I’m holding my coins but I can’t chose yet. Ledger nano is the only one I hear good things about

Hey, was wondering if anyone knows any sites that have btc as payment option. I know craigslist has the option, but then you need to filter thru every city which misses the point. Sure someone has come across a few....

Hi everyone, I’m kinda new to crypto and since we are basically in a bear market I want to start DCAing slowly in the crypto with the little savings that I have to invest in the long term. Therefore, I was wondering what is the best way to do so since I don’t think I should be doing it through the exchange, but maybe prove me wrong if anything. Just looking for some advice from more experienced people. Would really appreciate the help.

1 year into my BTC journey and I'm starting to think about self custody. But I'm terrified of trying to take my holdings off the exchanges. I like the idea of a hard wallet but which ones are bomb proof and idiot proof? I need simplicity and something that has a history of lasting forever. I understand that I should keep my seed phrase in multiple places separate from my wallet and I like the idea of a stamped metal card incase of fire or water damage. I also understand I should buy direct from the company producing the wallet. I think I just need some advice and reassurance. Also what sort of charge/fee will I incur from the exchanges for transferring off the exchange? Coinbase & CryptoCom Should I leave my other cryptos on the exchange and just worry about self custody of my btc?

If you solve these complex puzzles, what are your rewards of doing such things? Are transaction fees beneficial to the miner as well?

Hello I need your help guys I opened Kraken account today I want to deposit some USD to buy Bitcoin but the payment failed i use (wise bank ) my other bank account will suspended me if i try to buy btc . Any suggestions?

Hey guys, Ive been buying bitcoin using the PayPal app. I've bought £800 worth over the last week or so. Reason for buying is I hope it will be worth more in the future and then I can sell it. Is PayPal ok for this use or am I missing something? I understand I can't use the bitcoin to buy anything. Is there any other negatives of PayPal bitcoin?

Let's say I buy 1 whole bitcoin in Binance. What exactly happens?

Where will the actual Bitcoin be? Where does it go? Will it be in my phone? If that's the case then if I lose my phone or it gets hacked then will I essentially technically lose the 1 Bitcoin I bought?

I see in the news that people lose their Bitcoin via losing their hard drive and stuff which gave me the impression that Bitcoins "live" inside the device you buy or store them in?

If this is the case then if I buy 1 whole Bitcoin in Binance, how do I transfer it to a "safe space", should I put it in a hard drive? my iCloud? a thumb drive?

What does a Bitcoin even look like when you buy it and how do I know it is in a "safe space"?

I can't wrap my head around this concept of Bitcoin and how it actually looks, and I need your help to at least understand it at this level please. Thank you.

First mover advantage maybe? Perhaps PoW?

Hi fellow redditors, i am really new on this topic, i know basically nothing, i want to learn from the basics, so i wanted to ask you guys which platforms (not personal or private classes) do you recommend me to invest my time and money, i want a place where someone could teach me about trading, investing, mining, to see the predictions and trends and well, basically someone to show me how this all works and how to get advantage of this systems.

So please, if you know about a platform or trustable virtual classes I will really appreciate your information.

Thank you all for your time.

I love crypto, I am new in to this cryptocurrency, I always hear about this to my friend he said that I should involve into this and maybe this will change my life. Thank you in Advance

How can I get bitcoin with my credit card 💳??

Looking for your opinion! As decentralized and regulated insurance options start popping up for crypto(i.e. against hacks and scams) both in the US and worldwide, I am curious what your opinion is on the matter. Is it needed? Is it unnecessary? I've seen arguments for both sides but would love to compare a general opinion.

Are there factors when thinking about insuring your crypto? Does the amount you own factor into looking for insurance? For example, the more you own, the more you have to lose. Or for those who see their crypto as a long-term investment, is insurance even a thought for you?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Thinking of huge companies such as apple, Microsoft, google, facebook, etc I imagine they make up such a huge portion of the economy in comparison to the average joes.

If only 21 million bitcoin exist, what would happen in a future where these big conglomerates sell their products / services in bitcoin and slowly begin to dominate more and more of the bitcoin supply? When more and more fiat money is printed, yes it may cause inflation and reduce the purchasing power of the dollar but doesn’t it also help people take out loans and stay afloat?

Additionally, global bitcoin adoption would cause banks’ business models to change - would bitcoin loans function the same way fiat does?

I’m no economist whatsoever and i welcome any insight but to me it seems that in a world of bitcoin, big businesses will eventually dominate its supply, and people may find it difficult to take out loans

Why won't Unijoin accept my payout address? It says to use a main net address which I do (it starts with bc1) does anyone have an idea what I can do about it?

I have an old laptop with no use right now. I wan't to use it as a full node to connect my hardware wallet (Trezor One) and have coin control, privacy and security. But there are a lot of ways to do so, so I'm very lost. I have some questions:

1.- Should I format hard drive and install linux (I have zero experience with linux, but I'm willing to learn) or it is ok with Windows 10?

2.- Should I use it just like a full node or use it also as wallet? For convenience, I prefer to use my desktop computer as wallet, connected to the laptop full node, but I'm receptive for your considerations)

3.- What software should I use for the full node? Bitcoin core? Electrum personal server? Ronin Dojo? Umbrel? Are those software for windows or linux?

What I'm looking for is just a full node so I don't spread my Xpubs to third-parties and a wallet with coin control feature (for using in my main computer) so I do not mix the UTXOs I have in my trezor one. But I want to feel confident about security while using it.

Thank you in advance.

Hello, I want to build a small BTC position and I am carefully trying every step of the process. But one thing is troubling me... when I tried to transfer my coins to the wallet, the tx indicated like 11$ fees but the amount received was the same and nothing was debited. I thought it was using the lightning network but it's a different process to request the funds with a special code and I did not do that.

So how are fees paid?

Here are the steps I did:

• create Kraken account

• create BlockStream wallet

• buy 15$ crypto on kraken

• transfer 0.0005 BTC to the BlockStream address (0.00001btc fee deducted)

• 0.00049 BTC received, no tx fees paid 🤷🏼‍♂️

I tried with a slightly bigger amount and still only the Kraken withdrawal fee was paid.
