Re: why storing trust wallet in a hardware more recommendable than i mobile devices
by
Benedictare
on 09/04/2024, 02:29:27 UTC

   This is because your hardware wallet keeps your private keys safe offline from online risk and threats like hackers, but Trust wallet is more secured mobile crypto wallet .
It is still necessary to follow the wallet security to ensure proper fund security, therefore you have to write down your recovery phrase and attach your passcode to your wallet .

Trust wallet is the best alternative because it gives comprehensive support for different Blockchain and crypto asset .
 
The reason why hardware wallet is better than i mobile phone is that phones will often be stolen, hacked it can be in possession of anyone at any time.
An offline Trezor or Ledger cannot be hacked,it can only be stolen physically .

Offline wallets that is stored in a safe can't be accessed via the internet or WiFi, and that is the only way to hack mobile wallets.

The only fool-proof way of storing password keys is in the brain, which can only be hacked through drugs and hypnosis.
 Memory is capable of making mistakes . Time, sickness, ageing,trauma and disease can erase even the best kept memories.

Re: 2 cold wallets for my crypto assets
by

on 09/04/2024, 01:27:59 UTC

   Creating and maintaining many cryptocurrency is a good way to keep your asset safe, splitting your assets into multiple hardware wallet keeping one in a cold device completely is having an extra layer of security, which is you don't sign approval with any of the whole device . Having multiple crypto wallet prevents you from losing all your funds to attackers ,and in other for you to have a crypto tracker portfolio, you have to trade three different cryptocurrencies .

In other for you to take proper care of your wallets you need to hold most assets in self-custody wallet because Self-custody is extremely important keeping control over your crypto asset .

Use different crypto wallet for different purpose .
Creating many wallet addresses connected to the same seed phrase and private key is like having multiple bank accounts with same like login details which  is not good, especially regarding the ability to become stronger against hackers and implementing access controls.

For example when you divide the company's assets into multiple crypto wallets with different seed phrases is advisable. Putting all together in a wallet can make seeing your company's crypto finances difficult, Instead, consider maintaining at least three crypto wallets,one for receiving payments, another for paying expenses, and a third wallet that acts like a savings account.
Using a different account helps you track your crypto finance ,also helps to implement proper financial control and having a clearer way of managing your crypto wallet,also securely managing your wallets' seed phrase .

How to use Cloud storage to back up your Seed Phrase.

Read this article if you want to better understand the strengths and potential pitfalls in storing your seed phrase in the Cloud.

Vault12 Crypto Security

January 18 2024


One of the many ways that you could choose to back up your crytocurrency seed phrase would be to back it up to the Cloud. Although Cloud storage is not risk-free, proper encryption of your seed phrase before storing it there lowers the risk and makes it an option that you might consider.

TL;DR (concentrated takeaways)

If you rely on Cloud storage for backing up your seed phrase, you must encrypt it first - else it is extremely poorly protected. Cloud storage is a target!

It is critical that any computer that you use for encryption, or for viewing your seed phrase, be free from malware.

Although Cloud storage is convenient and robust, it has risks largely due to its complexity and by how much potential access could accidentally or maliciously be granted to data stored there.

There is a potentially overwhelming array of options and tools available to perform encryption.

Password managers can be effective and convenient for some secrets, but their operation must also be well-understood in order to provide the safety that they are meant to provide.

For anything that you encrypt, you must keep and store a backup of the decryption key (too)!

On the surface, the peace of mind given by Cloud providers gives by taking responsibility of long-term digital file storage looks like making the Cloud the perfect place to store your seed phrase. However, news reports cover with alarming frequency tales about information being stolen from various Cloud storage repositories, whether due to inappropriate permission configuration, software vulnerabilities, or even insider theft by employees with authorized access to computer systems, networks, or recycled hardware.
Cloud security can be excellent, but it is not perfect - especially the parts that rely on human diligence. This is why it is necessary for your sensitive information to be stored in the Cloud and be encrypted before being placed there, If someone were to gain unauthorized access to your Cloud files, but those files were strongly encrypted, he would not be able to read the contents.
Cloud storage is great but has risks, but encryption offers some protection.

Advantages of Cloud backup of your seed phrase

.Convenience.
.Reduces risk of physical loss or media failure.
.Reduced risk from natural disasters
.Good security controls when carefully applied.

   Telegram group of investments that promise 10 times of interest are not true but scams.
Telegram is not a safe platform for keeping Bitcoin ,if your Bitcoin is being stored on telegram wallet it is risky because it can be stolen and hacked easily by hackers since telegram is being used for illegal activities which also include drug trafficking and money laundering .

Telegram draws unwanted attention from scammers since they always want to take advantage of members , scammers poses a very big problem in the crypto community   these days, in other for you to avoid them, you need to avoid unknown files and links whenever you get them and don't click on them without carefully checking on them ,also check wallet address before sending .

A fake telegram apps can easily recognize Blockchain address from mere chats and then replace the users address with that of the scammers.

   Gambling has to do with risking the loss of something on a thing that might happen the valuable or money one can lose or gain in a bet having an unknown certainty and way of becoming really showing dislike.

Gambling is risky and it brings about more downside instead of benefits when reached as a way of getting money . Some person's can be having short time success ,one being not able to know the way of gambling shows that trusting on it as a regular source is not wise.

Casino games are formed to give the house a built-in-edge, to cause the chances and sizes of becoming real large amount of money given out, each game you play has a statical possibility .

The study of the mind about gambling is that People tend to lose money during gambling because we play against the odds and the house always have an edge , which means that with time we tend to lose more than win, which we don't really accept this truth.

Real estate investment need a good capital upfront  and can be less liquid than Bitcoin , making it a long-term commitment , high risk maintenance , it's tried and true means of building , stable and tangible .

Re: Is investing in exchange tokens profitable?
by
Benedictare
on 04/04/2024, 19:39:40 UTC

   Investing in tokens are good investment for someone that wants to have a long term investment .
Tokens used to provide a users to use a platform or reward users for their been part in the platform.

Exchange tokens give encouragment for users to use the exchange, and they are also used to reward users for their loyalty. They are often used to fund development and marketing efforts, as well as to provide liquidity to the exchange. The performance of these tokens nevertheless have significant impact on the success of the exchange and how investors perceive the exchange. As such, exchanges operators will monitor the performance of their tokens and take steps to ensure that they remain attractive to users.

There is nothing such as “a good investment”
As long as investment is concerned , all investments either by buying Gold , Investing in Buildings, company, big jets etc.. all come with a particular level of risk(losing some or all your capital) , in fact all investments in its nature is risky , Your concerned shouldn't be whether its good or not but rather the level of risk .

You can start testing the depth of the water by putting in one leg(investing small capital which you are willing to lose ) and see how far it goes.

Re: What are the pros and cons of gold compared to bitcoin?

on 02/04/2024, 20:10:17 UTC

      The digital scarcity of Bitcoin makes it worthy and always praised and because it is digital ,it is not influenced or affected to physical wear and tear.

   As we all know Bitcoin is young and not tested and shown to be good as an investment , but speculators in cryptocurrency are using it as store of value also as a limit against correction and recessions.


   Gold is scarce too,but it's total supply can change value frequently because of mining activities and it's very durable which does not gradually destroy or get weakened or degrade over time. For long, Gold has been an asset that keeps value over a long period of time and used as limit against market downturns .

   The reason why Bitcoin is better than gold is because of its operation on decentralized network, which makes sure that no single entity can control or manipulate the currency , which gives it an edge over gold and free from government and centralized authorities.
