r/Bitcoin

Hi everyone i have 35000 USD that i'd like to invest since its just sitting around in stables, is it the right time to inves in bitcoin or did i miss the bus?

Help me guys, what do I do now? Obviously my accounts are locked, I've filed a police report but what do I need the exchanges to do to help me recover funds if possible.

Story:

I always though it could never happen to me, I'm too smart for that I thought. But this morning, I got phished.

I'd received a convincing looking email over night from Google saying a recovery email had been added to my account. This got me worried, so I investigated. I followed the link in the email (I know, what an idiot!) - I thought it was OK because it was an official google email and a google link.

I had to then login with user/pass and 2FA and thought nothing of it because it was Google.

This is when everything went wrong and fast. It was Google Sites, a service where people can create their own webpages, I just entered my login details and 2FA into a convincing fake Google page hosted on Google.

Everything was backed up on my Google, my Authenticator Codes, Passwords in Google Password manager. The hackers quickly figured I had a Kraken and Coinbase accounts, got the password, logged in and drained it all. They added new withdrawal addresses and confirmed them via my email and they had the 2FA from the google account. The exchanges put up no resistance, not even bothered a new IP is draining all my funds to new withdrawal addresses.

Yes, I'm an idiot for keeping my money on an exchanges and backing up everything on Google! Helpful advice for what I can do now is appreciated.

Warren Buffett lleva tiempo acumulando liquidez mientras muchos esperan una gran caída en los mercados.

Sin embargo, Bitcoin sigue mostrando fortaleza incluso después de las últimas correcciones.

¿Estamos ante una simple pausa del mercado… o delante de algo mucho más grande?

Personalmente me parece interesante el choque entre la visión tradicional de Buffett y la narrativa cada vez más fuerte de Bitcoin como activo escaso.

Últimamente estoy subiendo análisis de Bitcoin, macroeconomía y criptomonedas en mi canal de YouTube “vicecoin76” por si a alguien le interesan estos temas.

¿Qué opináis vosotros? ¿Buffett tiene razón o Bitcoin sigue en estructura alcista?

I'm new to Bitcoin and I'm just wondering if there is a gift card I could get or something like that?

Hey all! I'm trying to work through my options in this situation:

I'm selling my house and buying another which will be more expensive. I currently own my house outright with no mortgage, so I will need to come up with the additional cash for my new purchase + closing costs. The way I see it I have three options:

• Sell my bitcoin
• Borrow against my bitcoin
• Take out a small mortgage on the new house

The first option seems like the one I want to avoid. But I'm stuck between taking out a small mortgage or a bitcoin-backed loan. From what I can tell, the APR on my bitcoin loan would be much higher than a traditional mortgage, but many services come with $0 origination fees and some (like Ledn) offer no monthly payment. But I also don't love the idea of using my bitcoin as collateral. I've been around since Blockfi and Celsius and have seen what the risks involved are.

On the otherhand the mortgage feels safer, but the added monthly cost means I'd likely slowly sell bitcoin over time to cover some monthly bills.

Anyone have thoughts on this? Am I thinking about this situation wrong or not accounting for something I should? Thanks!

I'm going to speak about bitcoin in Georgia/Tbilisi soon. I am mtgoxian. I love interactions and polls, so i need to hear from you the most 10 common question about bitcoin.

Let’s have a great ride

Hello, I require technical guidance regarding a legacy BTC.com wallet recovery.

Current Situation:

• I possess the original PDF backup document provided by the defunct BTC.com wallet.
• I know the correct password for this backup.
• The wallet only received deposits from a mining pool; no outbound transactions (withdrawals) were ever made.
• I do not have access to the historical deposit records from the mining pool right now.

The Problem: I do not know the specific public address(es) holding the funds. Finding the exact funded address currently feels like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Is there a specific derivation path, script, or method to scan and locate the funded addresses using the data inside the PDF backup and the password?

Hello everyone, I have reserved a couple of tables for the entire community. If you are living in Southern California and want to hang out on Pizza Day, we would love to have you!

Please be aware that one half of the pizza place will be playing board games, so please don't disrupt the "normies" enjoying their evening.

Also, it's my birthday, so I'll only be there from 3:00–4:30, and hopefully, I'll try to make it back around the end, from 8:30–9:00ish. I'm really excited to meet new local Bitcoiners.

This is a family-friendly environment; all are welcome. Please comment below or message me if you're interested, just in case I need to notify Zito's.

Please note: this is the Zito's Pizza off Chapman Ave.

I'm accumulating BTC and I've reached a level where it's no longer a hobby side saving but a substantial part of our family savings. The problem is that my children are young and my wife will not in a million year fiddle with my binance account and passkeys (or self custody wallet, Base in my case), and I worry what will happen if I got hit by a bus. I would love ideas from you guys about how you're planning for this (if at all)

do not use blockchaina.com is a scam,,, i tried to withdraw now they say password wrong ,,, they wont let me even reset it this shows in the screen says continue on original one and there is no original one ,,,,, ori doesnt exist ,,, thats how they are stealing you are warned,

I have been stacking sats for 6 years. Cold storage. Not your keys, not your coins. The whole philosophy.

But I just realized something: if I get hit by a bus tomorrow, my wife has zero idea how to access my Bitcoin. She knows I have some crypto but doesn't know where the hardware wallet is, what a seed phrase is or where I keep it, how to restore a wallet, how to send BTC to an exchange, or how to cash out.

I could explain it to her now, but let's be real she'll forget in a year, or I'll change wallets, or whatever.

I have been researching solutions and most are either way too expensive (Casa at $1,200/yr feels steep), require hardware keys (more stuff to lose/break), multisig setups (too complex for a non technical spouse), or just write instructions and hope they find them.

What's the Bitcoin maximalist approved approach here?

I'm genuinely curious what the community does. Multisig with a trusted contact? Timelocked wallet? Just a letter in a safe deposit box?

For now I've been testing out a dead man's switch tool (Heretura - it's basically a dead man's switch for crypto inheritance sends encrypted recovery instructions if I'm unresponsive for months). But curious if there are better approaches I'm missing.

How are you all handling this? Especially if your spouse/kids aren't technical?

Anyone else feel like this market became way more reactive lately? I am not even talking about direction. Just the way how sentiment flips every few days from “bull run confirmed” to “everything is over”. It much harder to trust clean narratives right now than in previous cycles, don’t understand me wrong, but I remember the time when you can just press long and become kinda rich without 100 tools to analyse the market.
