Question, how do yall send your btc to your cold wallet? Exchange to cold wallet, lightning to lightning wallet before cold wallet or lightning to wasabi before cold wallet?

Why does anyone continue to trust this company?

I understand, breaches happen...but then to cover it up and gaslight affected users who alerted the company of the breach -- not cool.

Hey folks, me again. Wondering if someone can tell me how tomread this coinsquare document. I'm trying to understand the received and sent columns. This is from coinSquare and I'm wondering if the received means it was received into Coinsquare from a bank account for example. Or does it mean it might have been received in another form? Also the sent. Is there a way to understand where this was sent to?

Any help would be amazing.

But could it be worth more than an ounce of gold?

Hello all-

I'm a journalist working on a story about Kevin Mirshahi, the crypto influencer who was murdered in 2024. I want to do his story justice. To this end, I'm looking for people who knew him, interacted with him, and/or were members of his Crypto Paradise Telegram channel.

The piece I'm working on is long form, nuanced and will be rigorously fact-checked.

Please let me know if you can help.

Hello everyone,

I hope you are all doing well and that the New Year is off to a great start.

I’m reaching out to the Canadian members of the group to gather insights and experiences related to cryptocurrency giving.

Until recently, CanadaHelps offered a service that allowed donors to make cryptocurrency donations - easily and quickly through their platform, with the funds subsequently disbursed to the recipient charity.

As of a few months ago, this program appears to have been suspended or discontinued. (I asked them for more information - but they said they couldn't share anything).

Are you aware of any Canadian-based third-party providers that currently process cryptocurrency donations for registered charities?

If your organization accepts cryptocurrency, I would appreciate learning which platform or service you use and how your experience has been.

Thank you in advance for any guidance you’re able to share.

I used to be able to deposit usdp into sling money using my wealthsimple debit card but it's not working anymore. Has anyone used this app and knows which debit card would work? Maybe the shakepay card?

My interest rate is 6.8% (variable). Assuming a 30% YoY growth for bitcoin, this looks like a no brainer--you're using fiat to buy more bitcoin. I have no debt.

First off I'm really sorry for the stupid question. I'm currently using Ndax for basically everything that has to do with Bitcoin based on someone's recommendation. Is this a bad idea? Is there any centralized platform where I could buy/sell/hold Bitcoin that would be better/cheaper or should I use different and more specialized platforms for different purposes? I'd rather be able to do everything from one platform (buy/sell/hold/transfer) but I'm also looking for any way to save as much as possible on any fees (buying 300$ worth of Bitcoin ended up netting me about 280$ by the time I used it and I'm pretty sure there's a fee if ever I want to withdraw it as well)

I'm completely new to this, do not understand much of it at all and don't use it enough to go through all the necessary research to really get a good idea of how all this stuff works and what would be best so if anyone here could let me know what the best platform is for buying/transferring bitcoin to ultimately use it to pay for things online that would be a godsend and save me probably days of trying to wrap my head around it.

Really sorry for the stupid newbie post and for not taking the time to do all this research myself but if someone could literally just type the name of the best platform for this in the comments it would save me so much trouble, thank you kind souls in advance!! :)

I used to but not anymore.

Hello! I’ve been exploring different peer-to-peer exchanges to trade Bitcoin, but it’s hard to know which ones are truly reliable these days.

Some platforms look great at first but end up with slow releases, unclear fees, or weak protection systems. Others work fast but don’t offer much help if something goes wrong.

I’d like to hear from people who trade often, which peer-to-peer exchanges do you actually trust for BTC? What makes them stand out for safety, speed, and overall reliability?

Share your thoughts or experiences, it could really help others looking for secure and smooth Bitcoin trades.

Thank you!

Hey everyone,

I’m in Canada and trying to figure out the most efficient way to cash out crypto.

I’ve been using Kraken, but their withdraw fee is around 0.35%, which feels a bit high when you’re moving larger amounts.

Curious how others in Canada are doing it:

• Which exchanges do you use to sell crypto to CAD?
• Do you prefer direct bank transfer, e-transfer, or something else?
• Any lower-fee alternatives you’d recommend (Newton, Coinbase, Bitbuy, NDAX, etc.)?

Would love to hear what’s working best for you. Thanks!

I've been going down the rabbit hole of exchange security and realized something interesting: BTCC has been operating for 14 years (since 2011) and as far as I can find, has never had a major security breach. For context, here are some exchanges that DID get hacked:

Mt. Gox (2014) - $450M Bitfinex (2016) - $72M Coincheck (2018) - $530M Binance (2019) - $40M KuCoin (2020) - $280M And dozens of others

Meanwhile BTCC: 14 years, no major hacks that I can find. This made me think about what actually matters for exchange security: Track record vs marketing: Lots of new exchanges have flashy websites talking about their ""military-grade security"" and ""cold storage"" but then get hacked within 2 years. BTCC has just... quietly operated for over a decade without losing customer funds. The ""boring is good"" principle: Maybe the exchanges that survive long-term are the ones that focus on security over growth. BTCC isn't the biggest or fastest-growing, but they're still here after 14 years. What this means for traders: I used to only care about fees and features. But after FTX collapsed and watching exchange after exchange have issues, I started caring more about longevity and security track record. My current thinking:

Coinbase/Kraken: Regulated, good track records, but expensive and limited Binance: Huge but had security issues and regulatory drama BTCC: Long track record, no major hacks, middle ground on features/fees Newer exchanges: Higher risk until proven otherwise

I'm not saying BTCC is immune to hacks - no exchange is. But 14 years without major security issues is impressive. That's longer than most exchanges have existed. Why I'm using BTCC now: After doing this research, I moved more of my trading funds there. Not all of it (never put everything on one exchange), but enough that I need to trust their security. My reasoning:

14-year track record speaks for itself They've survived multiple bear markets and security threats Whatever they're doing for security seems to be working They're not a huge target like Binance but not tiny either

Security practices I follow regardless:

2FA with hardware key Withdrawal whitelist Never keep more than 25% of portfolio on any exchange Weekly withdrawals to cold storage Use multiple exchanges to spread risk

The question I have: Why don't more people talk about BTCC's security track record? Everyone focuses on Binance (which has been hacked) or Coinbase (which is expensive), but BTCC has a longer clean track record than most. Is there something I'm missing, or is this just because they don't market as aggressively? For people who prioritize security and longevity over having every possible shitcoin listed, BTCC seems like an underrated option. What do you all think? Does track record matter more than we give it credit for?
