I don’t have a lot of money in crypto, but I can’t shake the anxiety of someone taking it from me and getting away scott free. Imagine this: you unlock your phone in public, someone sees it, steals your phone, runs away and opens the coinbase app to empty your account. Some transactions would require 2fa but they’d just open the messages app or google authenticator to get past it Or if I ever accidentally leave my personal laptop unlocked and when I get back all of my crypto is gone Or if someone robs my house and holds a gun to my head while I transfer my crypto to their wallet LOL Idk why I have these thoughts. I think the idea of untraceable money kind of freaks me out. I’m not this anxious in other aspects of my life LOL. Am I alone in feeling this way? TC: 85K BTC when I bought it in 2015: $232 #Btc #bitcoin #crypto #eth #ethereum #ltc #litecoin
How many units are you holding? There are hardware wallets that can virtually prevent loss or theft if you are smart about it
> Am I alone in feeling this way? Yes. It’s just you.
LOL
Just dm me your keys, I'd keep those safe. Free of cost.
Hahaha. 😈😈😈
Engrave most of the key onto steel. Keep the remaining string in your head.
Not a bad idea honestly.. until I get dementia 🥴
Better than paper. 😄
Coinbase has cold wallet storage. They call it vault, I think.
Ah yea they have coinbase wallet, an app that I forgot my 12-word password to LOL
I’m still signed into the session but I can’t send any crypto until I authenticate again 💀 gg
All those can happen to your bank and stock accounts too
The third party institutions and law enforcement can easily get involved at that point though no?
What's the current value ?
Undisclosed
Get trezor or ledger. Your coins will be safe
Idk for some reason I don’t trust these devices. What if the data gets corrupted? What if I accidentally lose it? Or gets stolen? I’d trust a password protected zip file in google drive more than these hardware wallets. Maybe it’s just me.
I feel the same way
Chill! Print out the secret key and store it somewhere safe!
