Right. Sideways. Again...

Boring AF.

Come on, Bitcoin, do something!

OK, so I gave my nephew my Trezor (after wiping it clean) as a gift for becoming a coiner. Yay! He's bringing mushrooms next weekend. He says I'll like it. Cheesy

My coins now reside on a teeny weeny piece of paper and some neurons in my brain. It feels odd, powerful, scary. I know they're there, but the inability to physically verify is affecting me. I need to buy a h/w wallet. What to buy? Maybe the Trezor Safe 3? Probably that.

Alright. Got to run. Keep posting, brothers. I sense A{Y,T}H is around the corner.

Buy when you can, sell when you must, NYKNYC (my nephew got this!), HoDL, the usual stuff.

I personally prefer the Trezor 1 and the Trezor model T over the Trezor 3.. and that is because the secure element is not open source.

I am not sure if Trezor is going to be successful in being able to launch an open source secure element. About the Trezor 3, I think that they say that it is open source as they are able to be, but that still means that there are some parts of it that are not open source... so I still question the soundness of non-open source wallets, even though there are claims that it is good to have a secure element.

BitBox is quite nice, if you peep it.

Will check it out, thx. I've grown fond of the Trezors over the years (the Model One was probably the only one in existence at the time), but I see now there are so many to choose. Got to be standardized, so I can recover my seed, etc., and open-source for obvious reasons.

Since we are having a public conversation, I suppose that it does not hurt to repeat these websites to review various wallet possibilties.

Just noticed we hit 33000 pages.

Wow. Remember what a big deal it was to reach 1000 pages?

Or the "when page parity?" posts some years ago...

We've now ascended to the "when post parity?" level. Cool

or we have reached a new bottom with this 33k Grin

Even the 200-WMA is going to be moving above the page count.. probably around May or June. Lovely.

I had the same thought yesterday... BTC bottom is not the 200wma anymore but might rather be the WO page count...
let's keep the posts comin' boys...

Just as a reminder, the 200-WMA is way more exponential as compared with the page count..

Absent some kind of fatal flaw in bitcoin, we have almost no way to be able to keep page count up with the 200-WMA.. and the same is true with BTC spot price... .and people (not even bitcoiners) really understand and cannot really comprehend very well exponentials.
