this video should come out every year as new people come into this space

I love this guy. LITERALLY...what would we do in this space without him or someone like him?

I already read Mastering Bitcoin and now viewing your Q&A. Thanks for sharing your knowledge Andreas. Greetings from Switzerland

You are the best crypto guy on KZfaq.

U r a blessing to humanity, Andreas 👏

You are the best, andreas

Crucial information for anyone hodling/using crypto

Oh wow. Great explanation! I ❤ paper wallets and when I make and use my own I only use them one time for withdraw...

All good advices except (IMHO) at 6:33: "destroy the paper wallet". Never destroy a private key, even if it's assumed to be empty (it may not be empty now, it may not be empty in the future).

Still one of the most precious advice!

Thanks for another SUPERB video. Another to keep in my back pocket to whip out to help explain this to others as it comes up 👍👍👍

Tried to create paper wallet. Instructions unclear, stuck in dishwasher.

Thank you, Andreas, for your wisdom

We love you Andreas!! ❤️

Good caveats on using paper wallets

Didn't know that about paper wallets, but now i will know it forever.

somehow i found a better solution than any standard: just use an old phone. make sure the wifi and everything on it is disabled / broken and use a multisig address that requires the offline phone and your normal phone.

Thanks for your efforts.

Excellent! professional experienced advice. Study and dissect what he says. He's detailing how to securely hold the keys to the kingdom..👍😀

How do you trust the manufacturer of the hardware wallet? For example, how can you know that the private keys being generated on say a Ledger are truly random, and that the device isn't sending the private keys over somewhere?

wow such an useful video. Im reading alot on crypto for more than 2 years, however the fact that remain balance gets transfered to another address was complete new to me. Thanks!

Could you please give us the code of the pithon script to do an emoji tweet transaction please ? Fantastic talk like always !!! Thanks for all the work !!

Very useful and informative. You approach the topics with a lot of precision which is nice to see. Can I ask how you calculated the 99% ? I’m especially interested in how you identify the 1:100 risk case that needs something more secure. Many thx

EXTREMELY useful overview, SIR ... thank you!

Great advice, thank you.

3:12 This is insane that a software wallet would generate a random address to send change to. The wallet should explicitly ask you for a change address, and if you WANT one generated it should be very explicit that if you need to back that up and save it or risk losing it forever.

Great topic!

knew it was wise to get a trezor right from start

3:58 wow. Good to know.

Andreas, could you activate caption please?

His help was excellent in a general sense, but offered little to no value explained how to specifically store one’s keys, other than “write, store at home”

Thank you sir for this valuable info.

Thanks mate. Great content. 😆😎👍👌

Sending you love from July 2024! ❤

16:47 Nice to have my completely ignorant thoughts validated despite misinformation everywhere. It makes no sense to obfuscate a secure backup; that's just banking on your security not being good enough. If your primary security is good enough, then having a second layer of encryption only serves to make your own recovery harder.

Can you cover the Electrum man in the middle attack specifically?

I know this video is old but maybe someone could help answer a simple question. I want to use the 25th word or "passphrase" option on my HW wallet so I can link that with the secret pin code for security reasons. Is using a 25th password where the password is "weak" somehow less safe than just the standard 24 word seed? In other words... Since I'm doing this for plausible deniability I'm not concerned about anyone getting my 24 words. Adding thr 25th word is solely for the feature of the hidden accounts associated with it. In this scenario, is choosing a 25th word that is weak, somehow less secure overall than the standard 24 word phrase? Sorry I know this sounds silly.

Should you treat an Opendime wallet the same as a paper wallet?

how do I ensure the change goes back to the original address? what wallet programs will do this?

What do you think or know about Lacie Private-Public encryption software. It installs on a USB and never goes online.

I dont understand 8:22. He says that he get access to hardware wallets through some mobile and desktop wallets, but how so without importing the hardware wallets and entering the phrase of it?

13:15 damn. Gold standard.

I would personally have designed any wireless activity to be NFC activated and the pairing of NFC devices only available during wired mode...

Brilliant

CaN I import a paper wallet from a hardware wallet without introducing the private key in a software separate from the hardware wallet? If it is not possible, in your opinion what would be the best software wallet to sweep a paper wallet? Considering I do not have an advanced knowledge to trust the software I can download to sweep the paper wallet.

If there is going to be mass adoption, someone is going to need to translate this video into English for the average American. (wallets for dummies)

Any opinion of the new ECOMI SecureWallet?

Andre could you recommend some good wallets please.

❤

What do you think of pay pal wallet?

So if i send btc from my paper wallet i will lose the rest?

damn your a well of knowledge

Please get Brave Verified so I can send you my BAT love!!!

Why not put an HD wallet on paper?

Thanks for these helpful informations!! you don't trust softwares running on desktop or mobile but why do you trust hardware devices? in reality we trust humans who made these software and devices why do you think we should trust hardware devices?

Is BitKey for iOS safe?

Hello! I really enjoy listening to Your You tube videos, Your knowledge of blockchain and cryptocurrencies is incredible! I have a question for You. Last week I made the mistake of sending USDT from My Finance account to the wallet address supplied for My Shakepay account in Canada. Shakepay tells Me that because they do not handle USDT they are not sure they can retrieve those funds for Me. Is there anyway that I would be able to have the funds returned to My Binance account, or are they lost forever? Thank You for Your time!

PLEASE REMAKE ALL VIDEOS !!!!!!!! use AI to generate graphics and so on, repost all so I could understand :D

Love you Andreas! You have changed my life in crypto! Thank you! @SamTheCarpetMan

When crypto currency is mainstream, we'll all be chipped in the name of continuity and security

The obvious reality that hardware wallets will not remain reliable over time (because of changes in business and logistical practices of the manufacturer - and due to business failures, mergers, etc) frankly never occurred to me before, and this makes hardware wallets an *absolute* nonstarter for the average human being. The idea that Joe and Jane 6 pack will accept going to the trouble of periodically (in a very complex and risky process) shifting to an entirely new hardware wallet to keep their vital savings safe, is simply absurd. For widespread adoption to succeed, the average human being needs to be able to put their keys on a hardware wallet and be *absolutely* assured that they can go to that wallet 100 years later and withdraw their funds easily and successfully. Until that guarantee is in place, any sane lay consumer will choose an insured custody provider like Coinbase, and not a hardware wallet. Those of you in cryptocurrency tech need to put yourselves in the shoes of the lay person and do serious work to quickly solve this problem, or the vision of a peer to peer, uncensored, democratic economic system will never happen.

That 100:1 like/dislike ratio

Just reading ch 8 Internet of money, fantastic tech!! Thank you for sharing this treasure! I am an artist a a very visual person, visual aids would be very helpful in sharing this info. This is going to CHANGE our WORLD! I want to help share this tech, imagine a world where the "other" 5 billion people are brought into the modern economy! That will be growth

Crypto is wayyy to complicated for mass adoption
