    A Bitcoin wallet is a device or program that stores your private keys and allows you to interact with the Bitcoin blockchain (i.e. send and receive Bitcoins).
    It’s important to differentiate between wallets where you have complete control over your private keys (non-custodial) and those that don’t give you access to your keys (custodial).

    CAUTION!! Many scammers are using the comment section to promote their scams and sometimes even use the name “99Bitcoins” in their profile. Never send money to someone you don’t know and don’t accept offers to trade or exchange cryptocurrency from strangers.

      I work with a really smart dude who had made like 40k off of his bitcoin and he was mad that he didn’t wait because he dumped a quarter of his coins (he bought in ground level basically) so he’s making complete profit.
      Anyway, he is the only person I could understand besides this guy that has explained it to me. This guy on the video is better at explaining because I don’t have to interrupt him every 5 seconds to ask what something is lol thanks to that guy I work with, I have a very basic understanding and it’s only getting easier from there once you understand the bare mechanics of block chain.

      The cryptocurrency market has made a lot of people very wealthy over the past decade. However, due to the volatile nature of the prices of digital currencies, it is understandable that many people, especially new traders are hesitant to trade crypto currencies. The good news is that now, there are many trading tools, such as trading signals, automated trading software and more, that enables traders to trade Bitcoin and other cryptos profitably. I have been trading with a pro trader who has helped me accumulate over 2.5BTC for the past 3weeks with just my starting 0.7BTC can equally help you achieve that. If you're a trader or a new comer to the cryptocurrency space, this is the right time for you to hold more Bitcoin now

      @Gehrig Halbert bitcoin / ethereum etc. can't be adjusted at will by the Federal Reserve or anyone else for that matter. That is actually a major reason why it was invented. It is not ANY nationality specific. Cash on the other hand (U.S. for example) is looking at a serious recession sooner than later. The amount of national debt has sky rocketed and it going to keep going with new proposals. While your $10 ends up having $4 worth of buying power, crypto is not subject to any countries economic problems.

      Hi Michael,
      You should regularly move your crypto to wallets that you control. You shouldn't keep it in an exchange.
      The biggest disadvantage of keeping crypto in an exchange is that you can lose it if the exchange is hacked.

    You've got to have conviction in your ideas, otherwise you won't know if you should double down on a long-term winner, or if you should pack your bags and sell.

    "Most of the bitcoin wallets are listed on this page...", he said. But there are none listed on this page. If I click on the highlighted site, I am not taken to a listing of the wallets, but rather to a signup page requiring me to become a "member". I consider this misleading, and I do not trust people who mislead me at the outset.
