bought more at 5130 as soon as i woke up. seems to often be at the days low when i wake up so i check every day. also bought some yesterday at 5400. doubling down on yesterdays commitment. hoping 5100 is the bottom now. we'll see. was guessing 8k by 1/1-1/2, now i'm thinking 10-12k. we'll see.

Good call! That rip from $5100 to $5350 was intense!

Not quite $350, but sold some around $335 and then reupped around $305. This morning sold some more around $299 and reupped at $293.

Not much... but any increase in my stack is a good one!

Sorry antiquated banking system, you just got replaced.

What happens in the case of hardware failure? Is everything synced to an off device key of some kind?

You keep your phrases and then can access your wallet from any different nano.

I'm wondering if it's worth it for me to get one of those. I suppose I could lose my fudge but i'm such a small fish in this digital pond.

After a month of seeing threads pop up on reddit regarding people having their coins hacked, it was a no brainer to pick a nano s up. They want small fish money as much as they want those big bucks too.

If you have more than $150 in crypto.... you should 100% get one.

Anyone involved in crypto should have an offline wallet of some type.

Here are two of my favorites :

Ledger Nano S

Trezor

I haven't heard any reviews nor tried it but this is another option as well :

keepkey

Yup. Don’t leave anything on exchanges. I do keep a little bit of my stack on gdax to trade and grow a few tenths of an ETH at a time though.

I don’t use it but if it helps anyone I heard Coinbase doesn’t support the bitcoingold split. So if you want your free money, get an exodus wallet (or one of many equivalents) or one of those cold storage legers soon

personally have a trezor here. very easy to use.

Also, I've been seeing so many people on FB who I'm friends with lately post about bitcoin and software to make a guaranteed ROI no matter what the charts say. I'm so interested in a sense that A.) By judging these people I know they can't know what their doing. B.) I'm just generally interested in what they possibly think they could be doing.
