I don't think so, particularly when we see reports like this.

bitcoin looks like it jumped up bout2.5k over night tho at this rate I'm probably only going to get a $95 payment this week (if I take the cash) so a drop from the previous weeks but not much , and in my concert it's still free monies

Cold wallets; how necessary at the beginning of a foray - or is it easier to start with one, than shift everything later? Is a cold wallet that requires Bluetooth comms and an app installed, actually any more secure than a phone (eg, Apple) wallet or similar?

you can move stuff to a cold/hardware wallet at any stage, it's just another transaction (so keep in mind the fees involved).
do you need one now or not? well that's a risk calculation for yourself. my Ledger NanoX was like $100 (I forget exactly), but it's protecting a lot more than that. I don't day trade, so I'm not moving on/off of it frequently, so the lack of convenience is not a problem. I got burned several BTC when mtGox exchange was 'hacked' (aka owner ran off with the money), so have low levels of trust for keeping anything on an exchange for longer than needed. if you do buy a hardware wallet, buy ONLY from a authorised seller, there's been unscrupulous sellers buying devices, pre-loading them - copying the keys, then selling them to noobs who then get cleaned out because the seller already had the keys. as for phones. there's been no proven successful hack against say a Ledger or Trezor (there's others but I didn't research them), yet law enforcement get into phones all the time - so you can bet bad guys can too.

It looks like the agenda-riddled ABC has yet another barrow to push - presumably a contact of someone there has been stung in a recent financial/crypto scam.
Executive summary: Cold calls and dodgy web adverts are likely to end in tears. Crypto just happens to be the lingua franca. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-12-...ians/100682182 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-12-...sses/100685500 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-12-...ions/100678848 And apparently the nanny state again wants to save us from ourselves: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-12-...tion/100682714 Just ![]() |

I was sitting on 9k, sold a few, all profit.
A newish crypto is SAFEMOON. ( being new it's a bit tricky to buy but obviously you can ) Look into it. Best exchange is coinspot aus. |

safemoon is a ponzi scam.
only way it makes profits is by taking 10% of transactions and giving 5% to the creators (as another currenvy BNB - that should be all the red flag you need - the creators don't want to be left holding worthless tokens), and 5% to other holders. But then there's no reason to transact with it, it does nothing, has no other source of value. it copped some social media hype (worth exactly nothing in real terms).

Like anything, as long as you go into it with your eyes open, and understand what it is and isn't.

those are some outdated and short sighted half-truths.
1. there certainly is a lot of scams in the crypto market - not denying that. when every tom/dick and doge can create their own super internet coin with a search/replace of someone elses code it's easy to set up fleece people and run. but there's plenty of legit options too. the old 'too good to be true and it is' rule always applies, do your research. 2. it's early in the market, yes it's unregulated. that doesn't mean it's bad, just means you have to be careful. 3. meh, banks aren't the strong hold bastion of perfectly legal behaviour either. 4. just like the stock markets, it's all investor confidence at the end of the day. 5. over inflated. yep for sure there's criminal enterprises using crypto to avoid the cops/taxman. but the bulk of money involved these days is from institutional invesments. 6. Agree except the last point, there's a heap of cryptos with a 'house' / casino boss at the top - avoid those ones, they're the easy to spot/avoid (as with safemoon I mentioned above). there's more than 10,000 crypto coins/tokens/defi's etc. etc. I only care about and invest in maybe 10 of them, the rest I see either zero real value or long term life in, or (the majority) are just outright scams. the days of fast money 1000%+ growth is gone. you can't expect the throw in $10 for a laugh and be a millionaire later (and if any coin/token is making that kind of promise it's a scam). to make real money you got to play with real money.

I randomly look at my balance.
Last week it was at around $2.5k Was shocked to see it at around $3.5k today. It's funny when I think to myself that I have 52 million of anything lol. Bit like when you see your bank balance when in Vietnam ![]() Won't be adding to it, won't take any way. See where it is in 5 or 10 years lol And if it's not there I really don't care ![]()

Hopefully there is not going to be anymore negative news for a month or two to let these coins run for a bit.

that is how we are 'playing' the crypto. I have been given some good 'tips', so I do a bit of homework, if you can trust what you read on the internet. buy a little bit and try to forget, just sit on it for a number of years. generally speaking it is all going up, except ripple...who can tell with that? probably the best buy was Eth, at $300, has gone to about $4000. Of course I am saying 'should have bought more'. We have about 15 - 20 different ones that we have put money into. By doing my homework, I try to see what they are actually doing, to determine if I think it is a good idea. Ask me in about 5 - 10 years. |

as much as i see it as another platform to make money from and im making a little each week from it its just another currency , and acts similar to stocks on the market nothing is always going to go up and at some point there has to be a top limit hence you buy low sell high and repeat to make money whether its changing from other currencies when they are low to get more then exchanging back when they are high to get more of the original the only thing i tend to sit on is blue chip shares as they basically tend to pay a share hence a profit and if its a pre tax paid share all the better https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptocurrency and to me even our money (ie say aus $ and all others) is a crypto currency now as it does not exist in physical form (like paper money) unless you get some physical coin/notes , how many these days have it digitally put in to their accounts and digitally taken out with no hard cash changing hands to me the only basic difference here is its typically not issued by a central authority i do tend to agree with data_mine's post Quote:

I think some cryptocurrencies are more legit than our own money system.
It gets scary if you look at how our money is created and where it comes from. I can understand why some people hate Crypto, but please have a look at how our system was created and how it runs 1st, then compare it to how say Bitcoin works.

I’m trying to understand why cryptocurrencies should be negatively impacted by the latest Russian efforts against Ukraine.

remember it's only a loss if you cash it out.
it'll be back. and if you've got cash to spare and an appetite for high risk/reward accumulate more.
