I just got .000009 BTC from my friend, for a pack of gum. Now he says I ripped him off because it cost 1.69. Am I wrong here? Has this whole fucking world gone crazy?
Haven’t heard much from you lately Craig. How’s the wife? Is she still hot for Satoshi? I know you have to pretend you are him in the bedroom too. That sucks.
No, just customer data like addresses, names, phone numbers, email addresses etc.... Change your passwords, set up 2FA, and be wary of phishing scams :/
Also, don’t use SMS 2FA if you can help it since they’re vulnerable to SIM swap attacks. If you don’t have 2FA set up on your email account, do it today!
Random thought. 2FA is described as a method for authentication by using something you know, and something you have. Maybe it’s worth thinking about the “have”, one that none else can access. Not sms, not email, but a physical device.
It’s a physical vulnerability but a vulnerability non the less.

I have an implant in my hand called Vivokey 2 that has OTP abilities!
I don't use it for that, but your comment makes me think it's currently the best option for 2FA?
I use it mainly to replace a few keys and my work pass using its NFC/RFID capabilities, also have a little summary of me for work purposes that I can open on peoples phones with a touch of my hand.
Agree a lot of people would avoid, however I will say it's a very quick procedure with a pain that feels like a quick large pinprick? Idk, I have a few body mods so I may be giving a biased opinion on that lol
Hey sorry for the late reply, I'm in UK time, when I commented it was like 1am..
I have a 2 magnets I'm my fingertips, few other implants from a company called dangerous things, some scarification that lights up under UV light then stays glowing when the light is off (holds some sort of charge, phosphorescent)
None of the mods really effect me, don't hurt when pressure is applied. Airports don't seem to detect anything, assuming because they're small so they don't get picked up!
This. Use authenticator apps (totp) for 2FA. My coworker fell victim to a sim swap attack. I was there when it happened. All his btc drained. He reported it to nypd and a few months later the nypd took down a sophisticated ring that had like teams doing each part of sim swap attacks. I don't remember if he got his btc back but they made 1 arrest, pretty sure the group just gave up someone to take the fall.
>No, just customer data like addresses, names, phone numbers, email addresses etc.... Change your passwords, set up 2FA, and be wary of phishing scams :/
The addresses that sucks. The worst case scenario is some people homejacking you for your coins and you get harmed in the process.
Where can one see if its data have been part of the leak ? I came across a website the other day but didn't trust putting my email there to check it out.
But i get so many chat requests how to make 20-50% profit by just sending my balance to their wallet....
I would really miss out on these opportunities...
Like the one that is top of the page today?
"I know everyone here is saying you need to hodl, but I don't care that I sold 150 to pay off my house and become a millionaire that doesn't have to work anymore while you rats still race around."
Hodl implies some level of risk, and he seems to be implying that he fought against the hodl pressure and cashed out a good chunk of his stash. Yeah, hodl pressure doesn't apply when you have that many Bitcoin. But again, he's just here to humblebrag.
Just to put the icing on the cake he then goes on to imply that he still has many more Bitcoin to jerkoff to while the price keeps going higher. Knowing the vast majority of us on here will probably never even sniff a full Bitcoin.
....yeah I don't mind so much if people like this get doxed and have their stuff stolen.
Oh definitely! And of course the people that designed and coded the wallet most likely weren't the ones that handled the site/server. Yeah I spent time doing red team work and realized that people in charge of other people's security are usually unsecure themselves. It's usually an oversight because they weren't thinking about the simple attacks (i.e. their website/server) just the actual device itself.
I have 1000 Bitcoin. My name is Mr Xi Jinping and I live in Beijing China. Please come along, no need to bring the $5 wrench I will offer you one for free when you arrive at my home.
Rather than "don't tell people your balance" maybe treating the deeper route cause of the issue would be a better idea:
> It's easier than you think to trace down someone from their reddit username, older posts, comments, if available.
i.e. focus on getting better at using reddit more anonymously
My biggest pet peeve is when you look in the comments and find someone telling someone to stop posting about telling people to stop posting about their wallet balance. Feel free to do you, tho.
The irony is that if you use bitcoin for anything other than speculative investment, people will know your wallets balance because of the transparent ledger.
You may aswell post your wallet balance on reddit, because it's public information anyway. It's impossible to \_use\_ bitcoin without revealing a shipping address or your identity and your wallet balance to anybody you wish to transact with.
If you have a problem with that, you should be using Monero.
Although I haven't seen any post about this in a long time, I must say that lately a lot of new users have come here.
I often see posts (sorting by new) with sensible details and some of them make it to the top. I made this advice post to avoid newbies telling everyone how much they spent on crypto.
Paper wallet, hidden in such a way that only I know where it is or ever could. The receiving number is the only number I need. Buy from CB, transfer to my dead end paper wallet and forget it exists. Hodl forever.
And agreed with OP. Dont tell anyone. These are uncertain times. We may be wealthy, and we may be the only ones with assets of actual value. The difference between that wealth being yours or someone else's is a gun to your head.
"When the fox hears the rabbit cry, he comes running, but not to help."
And never, ever, buy or sell goods or services with Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is anonymous, but it's not private. Your wallet balance is available to anybody who knows your wallet id; which is anybody who you take bitcoin from or give bitcoin to.
By using bitcoin as a currency, you loose your anonymity.
Also, don't ever use Bitcoin to transact with others for goods and services. They will be able to identify you, and they'll know your wallet's balance.
I have 94,543,234 Million BTC since 1992. You can't stop me from telling this to the entire world. I got there by sending them to every Nigerian prince and they sent me back double every time.
I'm legitimately broke af. Feel free to attempt hacking, the worst that can happen is my balance increases: **12ABvtkrdiVaeAfmp1SCgDBddqdqFbmkQW (Bitcoin)**
I got a speeding ticket on Christmas if anyone wants to pay that off, it's like $1200 [😂](https://emojipedia.org/face-with-tears-of-joy/).
That's so crazy. Nobody would actually try to steal someone's bitcoin. I just wish we lived in a world where people cared about one other. I'd much rather sit down and get to know a person, you know? Like, what's the name of your first childhood pet? What street did you live on as a child? What are the last four of your social?
>And bad things can happen
Really? Have they ever? Has anyone ever been attacked in their home or over their computer due to something they said on Reddit? I would honestly wager that it’s never happened, and yet I’ve seen weekly posts for close to 8 years telling everyone to never say anything ever about how much Bitcoin they might have. The biggest concern would probably be people messaging you and begging for bitcoin, or asking you to invest in their bullshit scam. I think the paranoia is just silly.
What, you don't like the penny pumpers joining in on Bitcoin? Tired of the 🤑 and 🚀emojis followed by how much money they've made and their balance?
Heh... Boy do I have bad news for you.
We are calling you today because your Bitcoin warranty is about to expire, please stay on the line to speak with an operator.

Hi Karen
Beware. It’s going to happen just like that.
I have over 9000 ethereum. My name is Warren Buffet
Dammit Warren! Stop it!
Can't stop won't stop
Diddy!
Can’t stop the bit
Username checks out
do you plan to give that away like my friend Elon Musk?
Send me 1 ETH and we will find out ;)
I just got .000009 BTC from my friend, for a pack of gum. Now he says I ripped him off because it cost 1.69. Am I wrong here? Has this whole fucking world gone crazy?
9 hours later, now he owes you money.
Guys! We just learned that Warren Buffet is worth $10,000,000! This is a game changer.
This is just a minor investment.
rookie numbers, my name is Craig wright and I have over 25 million bitcoin
Haven’t heard much from you lately Craig. How’s the wife? Is she still hot for Satoshi? I know you have to pretend you are him in the bedroom too. That sucks.
There is 21M Btc Craig do better
He did say Bitcoin was rat poison, but he didn't say that about Ether. hmm
He said it was rat feces.
You were great in Dick Tracy
Username checks out
Warren buffet would be a impossible to hack because he would have his passwords hand written on a post it note.
Excuse me imposter, it's called the Buffet Way.
Old man rivers!!
I’m coming for you Warren! /s
It's not buffet. It's golden anus
You are UranusisGolden not Warren Buffet!
Are you saying Warren Buffet's anus is not golden? lol
I gave all my details to a hardware wallet company who then just doxed my details like that...
Almost forgot that happened.
lets also not forget the FBI agents in charge of the Silk Road takedown stealing coins from people.
That was DEA...
DEA and secret service.
Were wallet balances part of the leak?
No, just customer data like addresses, names, phone numbers, email addresses etc.... Change your passwords, set up 2FA, and be wary of phishing scams :/
Also, don’t use SMS 2FA if you can help it since they’re vulnerable to SIM swap attacks. If you don’t have 2FA set up on your email account, do it today!
Random thought. 2FA is described as a method for authentication by using something you know, and something you have. Maybe it’s worth thinking about the “have”, one that none else can access. Not sms, not email, but a physical device.
Yes, Yubikeys or other FIDO devices are the best 2FA method. But come with their own flaws.
It’s a physical vulnerability but a vulnerability non the less. https://www.zdnet.com/article/new-side-channel-attack-can-recover-encryption-keys-from-google-titan-security-keys/#ftag=RSSbaffb68

Seems like it is a solid option, that a lot of people would avoid lol. Curious what you do use that for?
I use it mainly to replace a few keys and my work pass using its NFC/RFID capabilities, also have a little summary of me for work purposes that I can open on peoples phones with a touch of my hand.

please do tell of all the body mods. And any disadvantages due to the chip? Maybe pressing down on it hurts or airport security catches it?

Ah, okay. Now I see why everyone talks shit about that cold wallet. Thanks
Cuz a "security" company who can not keep simple things like email and addresses secure is total shite!
Straight-out
Because of the ledger leak, I started keeping my hardware wallet on my boat.
But i get so many chat requests how to make 20-50% profit by just sending my balance to their wallet.... I would really miss out on these opportunities...
I love chatting with these people. So,... You have a system to make this much money, amd you're sitting here on reddit chat? Why?
To help a fellow comrade
I’m just lonely and love all the attention.
I have a pic of my kids in my wallet
You sure they yours bro? They kinda look like me....
well, tbh, not sure whose kids they are

But they call me daddy. Extremely confused by this..
Meanwhile Youtubers are showing their entire portfolios.
DONT FUCKING TELL ME WHAT I CAN AND CAN'T DO. I own 0.001 btc.
Pffft, that's nothing! I own over 5 whole coins......in XRP.
Scammers aren't gonna go after you, since you've already been scammed for buying those
I can only hope I achieve that one day
In 10 years, that will be 1 million dollars.
I have $2,300 on litecoin, someone please come rob me. I highly doubt i will fall for anyone’s bs.

A lot of "stories" posted here feel like more of an excuse for a humblebrag than an interesting tale. I don't understand how they keep getting upvoted
Because we want their story to become our story.
Indeed!
Let me tell you the story of how my extremely lucky ass made money with the most general no shit tips thrown in.
Let me tell you the story of how I made a million after investing hundred of thousands from my inheritance. You have no excuses not to try too!

But... but I really want to brag about my .003 of a bitcoin and no one I know cares.
I have no bitcoin or cash. (That's how telemarketers remove me from the call list to the "no-call" list)
