Is keeping Bitcoin in a wallet like Coinbase secure or would it be better to move it to a vault?

It's always going to be safer in an off line wallet from a hacking point of view but you always run the risk off losing that drove the wallet is on, I have lost a couple like that.

I read somewhere, maybe it was way back in this thread somewhere, someone saying not to ship a cold wallet to your house. Thats just some tinfoil hat black helicopter shite, right?

I mean, it makes sense if you think about it, ......and you got a tin foil hat on.

Me, I lose my keys weekly, I wouldn't dare have an offline wallet with anything substantial in it. It might make sense in the future if you can make purchases with it through lightning network and that's what you "take from home". I dont have a great safe setup I have any confidence in.

I have like 1/3 of my btc in blockfi, a 1/3 in a brd wallet, and a 1/3 on coinbase. I dont have it in coinbase vault but I think transfers in the vault are delayed a couple of days so you can see them before they happen in case frickery goes down.

Not completely tin foil. Thousands of people who had the Nano Ledger sent to their home had their home addresses and emails leaked by a hacker that accessed Ledger's system. Coldcard is the cold storage I'd recommend and they proactively wipe all customer information after an order arrives.

Yea, pretty big stuff. Email addresses aren't too concerning because you can always nuke it and make a new one. Addresses though - if Crypto goes bananas over the next few years, it could be a decent checklist for not so nice people to visit. The leaked address list is all over the Dark Web right now.

There’s nothing linking the ledger wallet to a physical address . Basically people know these addresses own crypto ... ok .

Meh that’s a lot of data to have. Email and physical addresses with knowledge of possession of a valuable asset. Throw in some of the credit bureaus hacked data floating around. The Crypto ledger isn’t the only thing made more vulnerable by this.

If BTC follows the same 260ish day, +1800% pattern as in 2017 after breaking ATH, then we are headed to $300k-$400k BTC this year; with regression, perhaps $100k-$200k.

I would also expect a 35% retrace anywhere from our current $42k all-time high to around $50k, taking this back down to $22k-$27k before the next major leg up.

Anything under $30k from here is very likely the last chance you will have to add BTC under $30k and load up on major alts.

I'm just looking at the chart from 2017 and assuming the same pattern plays out. Obviously it could be completely different this time around. That said, we are basically at the same point as we were, pattern-wise as March 2017.

Looks like downside of Coldcard is you can only keep BTC on it. But with the Nano Ledger you can keep others as well. frickin hackers.

BTC hitting a downtrend today. Wonder why?

I went in another fifty bucks to try and capture some of the lost value

So much for dollar cost averaging. I’m hopeless

I did it. I was messing around and bought $500 on Friday afternoon on PayPal. I was trying to buy $$$$$ worth yesterday, but the coinbase/bank info thing stopped me.

The downward trend is just because my money. Everyone else is collateral damage. Sorry.
