As far as I'm aware, RPA was being code reviewed by someone to be included in a future update for Electron Cash.
I took 10 min to memorize the 6 first words, then, for the next few days, got my wife to regularly ask for a random entry until I felt really confident (super important to learn them in random order). Than added the next 6 words, etc. It was quite fun (I never take time to memorize anything anymore) and now I can be quite extreme with the storage of my physical seed, like casting it in concrete somewhere… Quite liberating.
I bit of insight would be great
Edit: Thanks to all of you who've replied. What're your hardware wallet suggestions?
The event saw the Bitcoin community descend on the Miami Beach Conference Center for a long weekend of speechifying, networking and partying.
Were you there?
https://www.cryptovantage.com/news/six-huge-takeaways-from-bitcoin-miami-2022/
BTC is down 40% from its November peak, compared with a 16% drop in the Nasdaq 100 over the same period.
Continuing its descent on Monday, BTC briefly dipped below $40,000 and tracked losses in global equities.
Amid concerns about inflation and slower economic growth, investors appear to be lowering their exposure to speculative assets, including cryptos and stocks.
Gold, a traditional safe haven, traded higher on Monday, while most altcoins underperformed bitcoin in crypto markets. Ethereum was down 8% over the past 24 hours, compared with a 16% drop in THORChain, and a 6% decline in BTC over the same period.
For now, technical indicators suggest lower support at $37,500 and $40,000 could stabilize BTC's down move. And if the support does its job and provides the market with a bounce up, fundamentally sound tokens will be the quickest to recover. Plastiks, a project that lets companies tokenize their plastic recovery data for monetization and proof of sustainability; Avalanche, a competitor to Ethereum that prioritizes scalability and transaction processing speed; and Terra, a decentralized blockchain payment platform for stablecoins, may witness significant market capitalization growth when the major cryptos bounce back.
However, for now, it appears that investors have tightened their risk budget, which is typical during times of market turbulence. But with the globe realizing the real-world use cases of cryptocurrencies and decentralization, this dip is poised to end soon!
I am sick to my stomach as I write this, haven’t slept in a day either. Changelly put a hold on my Bitcoin swap to usdt in the ledger live app and I am irate. I got ahold of them on support and went thru all the motions of verification and everything checked out and then they ghosted me! It’s been a couple hours now and I’m just getting more uneasy by the second and feeling like they will not return my funds. What should I do? What would you do in this scenario? Had I known the swap ledger used was changelly I would have never even attempted. Now I’m tired sad and depressed because of this and I’m really trying to resolve this as quick as possible! Please someone help or give me a glimmer of hope at this point I am desperate
UPDATE: I got my funds back in a timely manner I am now blacklisted from using changelly which is totally fine by me. Please do not make the same mistakes I did it will cause you a great deal of stress!! Thank you everyone for creating some ruckus to get these folks attention 🙏
I mean there are billionaires from bitcoin and if the price goes like some estimations of mass adoption 500k or 1m or even more these guy will be trillionaries or even more. Dont u see a problem with them having that massive amount of wealth and do you think other powerful wealthy people allow it to just happen while they lose their power in the meantime? We have nowdays wealth disparity but if bitcoin reaches the predictions wont that become even worse?
Short answer: no.
If you were looking to invest in Bitcoin in the long-term, as most of us are, you should not be worried and you have nothing to fear. The 42k barrier is nothing and it will pass it again you just need a little patience.
However, if you were looking to make a quick flip, you’re looking in the wrong place. Bitcoin is not a currency that you should buy and sell, it’s a coin you buy and hold. Learn this now and benefit later, if you were really looking for profits try investing in projects that are more recent and booming fast like everything within the Metaverse or the many projects within it like suku. But do not try to flip Bitcoin because it will burn you every time.
Every time Bitcoin dips a little I start hearing people scream and panic, well, what did you expect? It’s a volatile market and prices will go up and down, if you didn’t know this then this might not be right for you.
Just hold and wait, patience is key. Rushing will get you nowhere.
Last Saturday, April 09 at the store: Sunset Coffee Market, the First Bitcoin Cash Invites You of this 2022 was held in La Guaira. We were able to train 32 new people, of which 4 have businesses and are already being affiliated by our Bitcoin Agents in the city. Without a doubt, a pleasant and motivating experience for upcoming events in La Guaira. We currently have 3 operational Bitcoin Agents, educating people and merchants in the locality, by May we hope that it will double and thus be able to mass adoption.

Borrowing against Bitcoin. A good, bad or circumstantially dependent idea?
Asking for opinions here is often counter productive but I’m hoping some of us speak from experience.
Is borrowing cash to buy Bitcoin using Bitcoin as collateral a good idea? I am debt free (apart from student loans), have low income (for now) and no cash to stack sats. I’ve never used credit before either apart from my interest free student loans.
I know Michael Saylor recently did exactly what the title says but he has consistent cash flow and I don’t. I think if I borrowed it wouldn’t be a great idea at the moment but I would like to hear any opinions or suggestions. Thank you.
Strike, a digital payments platform based on Bitcoin's Lightning Network, has announced a partnership with Shopify, an e-commerce platform.
Strike CEO Jack Mallers announced at the Bitcoin 2022 conference in Miami that eligible U.S. Shopify merchants will now be able to accept bitcoin payments from customers around the world as U.S. dollars.
Mallers, a Forbes Under 30 alum, also mentioned that Strike, based in Chicago, has teamed with NCR NCR, the world's largest point-of-sale (POS) supplier, and payments business Blackhawk.
By leveraging the Lightning Network, a second layer built on top of the bitcoin blockchain that allows users to send and receive cryptocurrency quickly and cheaply by moving transactions off of the main blockchain, the integration provides an alternative to traditional card networks such as Visa V and MasterCard. According to Mallers, the service would be available to anybody in the world who has a Lightning Network-enabled wallet, which includes more than 70 million CashApp users.
The announcement demonstrates the Lightning Network's growing popularity. Robinhood announced intentions to integrate the solution into its technological stack earlier today, joining companies such as cryptocurrency exchange Kraken, Twitter, and Block.
Lightning Labs, a California-based developer of the Lightning Network, announced a new protocol on Tuesday that it hopes would allow the Lightning Network to accept assets other than bitcoin, such as other household names like Ethereum and the new ones like $Darc, stablecoins and fiat currencies.
Crypto has gotten so popular in the last couple of years, and yes this is all good news, yet it is still constrained to investors who use it as an investing leveraging, few are those that are buying physical goods with it.
This could be caused by the limitations of crypto itself like transaction speed and scalability, but we all know the real issue to be that many vendors do not offer users the ability to buy with crypto.
So why is that? Why is it that many retailers still abstain from allowing users crypto transactions? Well, the main issue is that for starters crypto is laden with risk as of now, plus the means for adoption have not fully been introduced.
Thankfully, there are many projects working on fixing this issue, such as the work being put in by Exeno, trying to make crypto a usable medium for e-commerce, and more importantly, literally bringing crypto to life. Giving users the ability not just to buy, but to actually use it to purchase real goods in real life.
This is rare and unprecedented, and this next move means that other people will be working on it as well. Especially now as the lightning network is being rolled out on multiple platforms.
This could be the next step we need for Bitcoin to become an entity in web and e-commerce. Other projects have tried introducing crypto as an e-commerce value such as exeno, but the growth of Bitcoin will really help push said projects and ideas for online monetary usage.
This could really be the next step needed to turn Bitcoin from just a digital currency, to a usable medium for exchange.
With many names joining the conference like Saylor and Wood, it will surely pickup steam, and introduce the not yet introduced, and excite those already here. The next few months will be exciting, this is guaranteed.
According to Investopedia, yes you can, on the sole condition that you use fiat cards to buy them…
Doesn’t this make the whole point of using cryptocurrency futile? If it’s just a wrap-around for fiat still…
I think that the options really do existed, but we don’t get to see them because they aren’t promoted yet. The largest magazines, blogs or journal get paid to sell you the idea that you still need fiat to complete a crypto purchase online, but you don’t.
The options really do exist outside, and you could still be using crypto purely as crypto, without bridges, shortcuts or whatever.
There are many sites that accept BTC payments directly and there are many projects like Exeno that promote the idea that you could still be using crypto as crypto, and make your cryptos real, by using them to buy real things in real time.
I dislike how the narrative is shaped to say, yes you can use crypto to buy things, and you just have to go through fiat first. God knows what they’ll suggest next after e-commerce is fully integrated with crypto.
A couple of days ago I made this post about flexUSD, where I asked 'Do you use flexUSD?' and the response favored the SEP20 tokens over SLP tokens.
I myself personally prefer SEP20 tokens where as SLP token kind hard to interact with.
Even before SmartBCH was a thing, the SLP or the Simple Ledger Protocol was the smart chain for BCH, with NFTs and tokens that came along it.
However, I had never brought any because I always found it hard to do anything with it since there was a limited platform and utility.
Then SmartBCH happened and being an EVM sidechain it changed everthing.
The Impact of it: on SideShift there use to be a small selection of SLP tokens that you could have exchanged for different coins or tokens. However, a couple of weeks ago SLP tokens became 'Temporarily Disabled' and now they have been removed from it completely.
I still hold some flexUSD for the interest the wallet provide, which I had recently converted from SEP20 token to SLP of about $10 (Don't laugh, I am poor. Ok) just for the sake of it all. I have got about 0.5% back in 1 month as interest for now.
Now, apart from CoinFlex exchange I don't have any other way to change my SLP token to either mainnet BCH or SEP20 token.
While this is all for fun and games I still wonder would SLP tokens still exist in the time to come?
Suppose if my $10 in flexUSD becomes $11 from interest would I still be about to use it?
