Are certain YouTubers part of the FTX and BlockFi thing?

Hi guys,

For months several youtubers have been promoting FTX and BlockFi. It seems that one of them, with over 200,000 followers, has been more transparent and said that FTX paid him $50,000 a month. So how much did those who have 500,000 followers or more than 1 million earn?

They have gotten rich by promoting something to their followers that could have led them to bankruptcy. Nobody is responsible? Weren't they responsible for researching what they promote? Is this legit?

Can't those affected who followed the advice of these youtubers to invest with FTX and Blockfi sue them?

Should followers report to YouTube that they have been promoting those platforms?

Honest questions. I wonder if it is only the FTX employees who are responsible.

How the FTX collapse highlights the importance of bitcoin self-custody

Is there any risk to your dollars if you hold them on an exchange but NOT as a stablecoin like Tether?

Let's say the giant Tether bubble pops, and I have $1,000 on Kraken or Coinbase as USD. Not as USDC or USDT...Will my funds be safe? Or will the collapse of something as massive as Tether still have cascading effects that could affect my money?

Dave Ramsey Still Doesn't Get It

In his latest video he tried to go after us over FTX even though FTX had zero Bitcoin. He called them a "Bitcoin exchange" and demonstrated throughout that he still doesn't understand what Bitcoin is. Bitcoin is not crypto, Bitcoin might have gotten hit price wise in the short term but it's all the other shitcoins that got screwed directly by FTX. Hate to say it, but Dave, you still are a boomer. You still don't understand bitcoin, and my money is just fine in my cold storage but thanks for being "concerned" for its whereabouts. My advice for you at this point is please, please stay in real estate. This shiz ain't for you.

Not buying Bitcoin, am I being dumb

I’ve been saving up my money for the past month, I’m currently on £6000 in my bank and £5000 in Ethereum, I’ve been trying to save my bank money until I can get to like 16k and buy a whole bitcoin with a couple thousand left in my bank. My job is self employed and I’m also a live at home student so I don’t really have expenses, but my income is inconsistent, I’ve earned £4000+ one week and then £50 the next week. I get more student maintanence loan money january too (£1500)

Anyway, should I just save up and then buy when I hit the 1bitcoin mark or start pouring some in rn? It’s at its all time low basically for the past year or two but then again the economy is doing bad rn so I could see it going lower.

What would you suggest, I appreciate any help and if I have left out any gaps please ask in the comments

Is my crypto at FTX gone?

I do some long term investing in stocks and quite recently decided to do some crypto long term.

I chose FTX as it was popular and it had tokens I wanted to buy.

Bad luck for me :D

As it was a passive investment I did not follow the news daily and totally missed on the possibility to cash out.

Now wondering is my $ gone gone or temporary "on hold".

How likely you think that FTX will get acquired or in other way will raise cash to return investments to the clients?

As I understood, FTX is trying to restructures and raise cash, it is not closed entirely, there is a new CEO and all

----

P.S. I found this service that that says will alert if FTX enables withdrawals, wondering if it is legit http://ftxstatus.live/

Do we need to more discussion about multi-sig?

In light of the current events it's great to see more people waking up the importance self custody, but are we overlooking the fact that hardware wallet software is another potential single point of failure?

Could a malicious hardware wallet software be the next shoe to drop that causes catastrophic losses?

Several months ago I purchased a 2nd hardware wallet from a different vendor to create a multi-sig wallet, but have been reluctant to set up the multi-sig in avoidance of complexity, but I am now being convinced that I/we should be more proactive about this before any possible future "surprise".

Anyone experienced have a reference for options/best way to multi-sig with 2 different hardware devices?

Not your keys, not 21M coins

The only way to keep the exchanges halfway honest is for bitcoiners to pull their keys offline. Otherwise, they'll keep selling the same fake coin 100x over, just like FTX did.

It appears that some exchanges are potentially faking proof of reserves audits with each other’s funds (???) CZ has once again chimed in, which will exacerbate a potential run on reserves.

FTX had no BCH on their balance sheet because they sold all customer deposits as they came in. They gambled the proceeds on FTT, Solana and other trash. The BCH community has suspected exchanges of selling all BCH customers deposit, making BCH one of the most shorted cryptos.

FTX and Ukraine?

I’ve been seeing talks of politicians using Ukraine and FTX to launder money. The theory goes: U.S. send money to Ukraine, Ukraine puts portion of money into FTX, then FTX “donates” said money to political campaigns. If this were true, it would mean taxpayer dollars are going to political campaigns.

I’ve only seen this on twitter, so I’ve been taking it with a grain of salt. I know SBF has been vocal about his political donations in the past but I haven’t been able to find any evidence for this theory. Was this just pulled out of someone’s ass for twitter likes, or is there any truth behind this?

Bluetooth isn't good.

I keep on seeing reviews for hardware wallets with bluetooth capability. Most of the time if a hardware wallet doesn't have blue tooth it's viewed as a con or a negative and I have to disagree with that sentiment. Why? Bluetooth is not secure, it is not safe. How do I know that? Military practice. All DOD/federal buildings that have any dealings with classified materials don't allow bluetooth/wireless capable keyboards, mice, and other electronic devices inside their buildings. It's literally illegal to connect them to any of their computers. It's not just the transmission capability, it's the hack-abitability of bluetooth. All government employees that deal with cyber security are told to keep their bluetooth on their PEDs off, along with covering up their cameras, among other things. There's a good reason for it. So please, don't listen to these reviewers about bluetooth capability on hardware wallets. It's way better if they don't have it. Convenient shiz usually ends up being vulnerable.

Keep it simple stupid, and funds will be sayfu.
