The key to me was pulling it off the exchanges as they then own access to your assets. They shut down, you will be stuck fighting to get your crypto back. Airlocking it into my ledger keeps me in total control. I hadn't looked at "moving" wallets so I wasn't sure how that all worked.

As for my seed phrase, I keep two copies, one in a firebox and one locked away in my work office. I considered putting in my password manager (bitwarden if interested) but liked it only physically written on paper.

That's what I did with my BTC (although just a virtual wallet for now), but ETH is still on Coinbase for staking.

I've had a crypto wallet for a couple years but I'm pretty sure I'll either lose the wallet itself or the password. So, I'm just sitting here waiting for coinbase to take it instead.

Guys, we are less than a month from the next halving! Right now looking at early afternoon on April 19th. This is very exciting.  :excited:

Looks like Gary has his sights set on ETH now. RIP.

Would ETH as a security be so bad? I honestly don’t know but seems like the BTC ETF was popular.

The BTC ETFs have been the most successful ETFs in history based solely on inflows. It's actually not even close which is kind a crazy.

How long should we expect the growth period to last after the halvening?

The models and history say about 12-18 months.

Is now a good time to put $50K on BTC? Asking for a friend who knows almost nothing about Bitcoin.
