    👋 Yooo! Here’s everything I mentioned in the video:
    Here’s my favorite cold wallet. It’s called Tangem and it’s freaking awesome! (Use Code CYBERSCRILLA for 10% OFF): tangem.com/en/pricing/?promocode=CYBERSCRILLA#pricing
    Here’s my review of the Tangem wallet: ruclips.net/video/bPZpzjJl3ts/видео.html
    And here’s the Tangem wallet tutorial:

      So how do they actually lock your account?
      Do they receive some kind of email or something that alerts them that someone is transferring this huge amount from Tangem?
      And they'll immediately freeze it and take all of it away?
      Or it will take like a day before they notice that.
      I'm kinda worried that bullrun is nearing and that would suck if they'd just take all of my little profits away!

    Can you do a video about moving btc off exchanges into a cold wallet. Talking about how to do it with lower (or no) fees, UTXOs, etc. Then also discuss how you'd actually get it back into a regular currency to use again. It seems like you gotta put all your seed words etc in a metal thing buried underground and it's a pain in the ass to get it back

    Great Content and suggestions. Thx a lot 👌
    How about selling during a Bullrun the easiest and safest. If you store your assets on Tangem for instance and the time has come to make profit isn’t it the best way by selling or swapping in BTC for instance on Tangem directly?
    Or are there any issues not to consider?
    Selling / swapping Assets in your cold wallet would lower risk by sending Assets to any exchange, selling and send the Assets/Fiat back right?
    In addition exchange can also freeze you account, happens to me once. Takes hell of time, writing and patients before they unfreeze the assets.
    Looking forward to your thoughts about.

    Hi there! I recently bought a cold wallet. I’ve seen that in this video and others you recommend buying crypto in exchanges and store it in wallets. Why not directly buy on wallets and use them to swap and do those other transactions you mentioned in the video. I’m new to this world as you could imagine

    • @cyberscrilla
      @cyberscrilla  Месяц назад +4

      You can do that. But it’s generally cheaper to buy on an exchange, then transfer to your wallet, same when selling. Swapping directly in your wallet is equally affordable, but you might have less options when swapping vs an exchange.

    • @cyberscrilla
      @cyberscrilla  Месяц назад +3

    • @ceej5705
      @ceej5705 Месяц назад

      @cyberscrilla point taken. I just feel like there is progress to be made on the exchange to wallet and visa versa front. I bought XRP the other day on Uphold and cannot transfer it for three days due to what they call a "cooling off period". Ridiculous. They say it's for security against fraud, i get that but a lot could happen in the world in three days. Also, the whole risk of losing the entire load of crypto when you transfer to an address if something isn't right is not too comfortable. I send a little first to check everything is right but still, that warning they give you that you may lose it all is pretty scary. It does get more comfortable with experience but why can't they make sure you're all good before sending and receiving?
      Anyway, other things too need evolving....but I am thankful for the new innovation and opportunity to make insane gains, what a gift. Just hope it's all actually there when I go to cash out someday or use my coin as currency. Peace

      You don’t need to revoke anything if you’re just sending coins from Coinbase to your Tangem (cold wallet). Revoking approvals only applies when you’ve connected your wallet to a decentralized exchange (DEX) or any other app where you’ve given permission to spend your tokens.
      If you only receive and store coins in your cold wallet, there’s no approval to revoke.

    I wish there was a cold wallet that you could do everything on especially selling your crypto because when coinbase gets busy it's hard to transfer your crypto off of your tangem wallet back onto the exchange to sell it in time... And you don't want to move all your crypto back to the exchange all at once..... You want to do it in increments... Not that I've had to do that yet because I'm holding

Not sure how do do that, I have never sold anything as of yet. Also Tangem is not allowing me to see my Total Acct Balance anymore! On top 🔝.. only individual coins balances.

      Unfortunately, that’s the exchange’s choice.
      You would either need to send XLM to your wallet from an exchange that doesn’t require you to have one XLM on the external wallet or purchase XLM directly on the wallet before you’re able to transfer from your exchange.
      As for the account balance, is there a message saying you need to initialize the cards? If so tap the message and then scan one of your cards and that should fix it.
      Otherwise, see if the app or maybe even your phone needs an update.

      You need at least 2 cards to setup one wallet, so no. If you want to use 2 seed phrases for example, you’d need at least 4 cards.
      And the link + discount code is in the description of this video. The discount code is CYBERSCRILLA
      You don’t need a separate wallet for your crypto on Robinhood. Just transfer your crypto from RH to Tangem and you’ll be all set.

      I see. If it still requires a tag, just put 000000 when sending to your cold wallet and it will work. You can pretty much put anything as self custodial wallets don’t require a tag.
      You can always do a small test transaction too if you’re more comfortable with that, but it should work.

      Swap permission will only be requested if you exchange a token that operates under smart contracts (for example, an ERC20 token).
      For native coins, such permission is not needed since they’re regulated by blockchain algorithms, not smart contracts
      You can choose to give unlimited access or just enough for the swap though.
      In general, I say it’s safe. But if you want to be extra cautious, you can do your swaps on a separate wallet.

    Someone should come up with a cold wallet that has buy, sell, swap, stake & charts for each crypto.

      What do you mean by charts? Most cold wallet already offer all these functions

    Hi man! Can you tell me what you think about this idea: to keep your seed fraze in a secure email, but not all words? Let's say you write only 23 out of 24 words, and that last word you remember or something else. It can be the first or the last word of the seed phrase, or maybe the 12th. Do you think it is a stupid idea?

    • @cyberscrilla
      @cyberscrilla  Месяц назад

      Honestly, terrible idea.
      Never keep your seed phrase online. Use a cold wallet AND store it physically in a metal seed plate.
      One of our subscribers recently got hacked doing this exact thing. Had his seed in his email, lost $3500 BTC.

      @@cyberscrilla man, I dont know if you understood what I said. I said to keep the seed phrase without one word that you remember. Do you think that it can be hacked? Can someone guess the remaining word and the position it is in?

    • @cyberscrilla
      @cyberscrilla  Месяц назад +1

      @ yes. Again, bad idea. All seed phrases are derived from a pre determined list of 2048 words. If you provide them with 23 of 24 they will find the last one.
      My advice: don’t do it.

    That metal seed phrase plate looks similar to the Billfodl from Ledger. I'm not sure if they still sell it 🤔 but theirs look the same as your keystone plates. It's very handy!

      It’s similar for sure! And ledger still sells it. But keystone’s is half the price 😉

    Can you pass through airports with cold wallets without consequences? And are they secure against an EMP attack?

      Tangem is secure against EMPs, electrostatic discharge, and x ray machines. I’ve traveled internationally with it as well. No issues
