@MartinSellner_ Hast du mal das Telegram wallet probiert? Die haben einen eingebauten P2P Markt, Anleitung hier. Bin gerne bereit persönlich zu helfen. blog.yawaia.com/index.php?post…

I have been banned by Crypto(dot)com Bitwala Bitpanda Coinbase Coinbase Commerce Coingate Wirex Moonpay Genome Trastra Bankera Gemini Kraken Bitstamp Deblock offramp Whitebit and some others. I am legally obliged to exchange every crypto I receive to FIAT instantly, because of crazy Austrian crypto tax laws. So I need an app where I can do this immediately. Do you have some tips?

Bitcoin has a built in audit. So, if you own Bitcoin, you know they are real.

Bitcoin price is the least interesting aspect over all. It's a getting a rich slow scheme. People try to trade and increase profits fast. Crypto cannot be traded for gains, ever. Dumb money is moving to smart money. If you are thinking of selling, you truly have no clue about Bitcoin and no one will have any sympathy, if you sell for the biggest loss ever.

@grok @KristianCsep @thesatstack You should never "update" anything on the fly, especially not with command line. But shows again why they are called scam artists. A simple antivirus program would probably have prevented the attack too?

Telegram's Two-Step Verification (additional password) protects new logins by requiring it alongside the SMS code. However, it doesn't prevent access via stolen session cookies from existing sessions, as those bypass login. Attackers can hijack active sessions. To mitigate, check Settings > Devices > Active Sessions and terminate suspicious ones. Enabling 2FA doesn't auto-logout existing sessions. For desktop, secure your tdata folder.

More than 10 of my bitcoin friends got hacked in the past month. All had 2FA enabled. It didn’t help. Here’s how they almost got me too 👇 HOW THEY FOOL YOU 1️⃣ Someone from your contacts messages you to schedule a call. This is already a stolen account. A friend who got scammed before you. 2️⃣ They send you a calendar invite first. Then, right before the call, they send a Zoom link. At a quick glance it looks legit. The preview looks identical to real Zoom. The trick is subtle: the hostname and subdomain are swapped. This is the fake Zoom link they sent me. A real Zoom link would have those two words around the dot swapped. 👀 https:// zoom (DOT) webus05. us/j/47369507762?pwd=7kiAzRm6PNBvNFdBBEY04cr6LLzHPk.1 Easy to miss, even if you know what to look for. Especially when it comes from someone you trust. 3️⃣ The fake Zoom app looks flawless. Perfect copy of the real Zoom UI. No red flags. 4️⃣ You immediately see your friend on video. This is NOT A DEEPFAKE. It’s a recording of your friend from seconds before they got scammed in the previous session. That’s why it looks perfect and trustworthy. HOW THEY GAIN CONTROL 5️⃣ The fake Zoom app says your audio is broken and asks you to update. 6️⃣ The update “fails” and you’re shown a command line troubleshooting guide. ⚠️7️⃣ If you paste that command into your terminal, it’s over. You just gave the attacker remote access to your computer. HOW THEY ROB YOU 8️⃣ The malware they install remotely is simple and runs fast. It takes one or two seconds. It usually does two things: A) Scans your computer for bitcoin wallets and steals access. ⚠️B) Steals session cookies from chat apps. This is how they bypass your 2FA later. ELI5 SESSION COOKIES When you log into Telegram on your laptop, you enter your password and 2FA once. Telegram then saves a session token on your computer so you don’t have to do it every time. That token is basically: “Yes, this is the same person who gave you the password and 2FA earlier.” When attackers steal it, they present it to Telegram, which sees it as a valid session and lets them in. So they don’t need your password or your 2FA code. THEY ARE YOU. If someone gets access to your computer, you’re done. At that point, it’s just damage control. MY GOLDEN RULE Life is short and beautiful. No client call is important enough to mess with command line troubleshooting. Be lazy. Be safe. PS: unrelated, but we just launched Braiins Hashpower. On-demand bitcoin hashrate. Try it. It’s awesome. Like ice cream when you’re 12 😁

🧰 The Self‑Custody Toolbox 🛠️ Build a Security System, Not Just Buy a Device The real edge in self‑custody is not owning gadgets, but fusing wallets, backups, permissions, devices, and daily behavior into one coherent toolbox where all six security domains work together to deliver uncompromising protection with everyday usability. Hardware Wallets: Your Offline Security Core A hardware wallet is your dedicated signing device that keeps private keys offline and forces you to confirm every transaction on its own screen. This turns malware, fake interfaces, and clipboard attacs into failed attempts instead of drained wallets. Backups: Breaking the Single‑Point‑of‑Failure Trap A solid backup strategy combines a few highly protected physical seed backups with multiple strongly encrypted digital backups. Done right, you stay resilient against both theft and total loss if a device is destroyed. ​ Permissions & Multi‑Wallet Roles: Contain Every Blast Radius Revoking old token approvals and using different wallets for vault, interaction, and daily spending prevents one compromised key from nuking your entire stack. Each wallet has a clear job and a defined risk level in the toolbox. Identity, Devices & Network: The Protective Shell Around Your Keys Password manager, 2FA, VPN, and hardened devices form the outer shield that protects your email, exchanges, and login flows. When this shell is strong, most attacks never even get close to your seed phrase. Operational Security & Scam Awareness: Defense in Your Daily Behavior Compartmentalized identities, low‑noise public profiles, and strict “never share secrets, never rush” rules stop social engineering before it starts. Your habits become part of the toolbox, not just your hardware. From Tools to a Coherent System The real edge is not owning gadgets but combining wallets, backups, permissions, devices, and behavior into one coherent self‑custody toolbox. When all six domains work together, you get both strong security and day‑to‑day usability. ​ 👉 The full deep‑dive version of the Self‑Custody Toolbox is available on my website under “Insights” - link in bio!

The Seed Backup Paradox Every extra unencrypted physical seed backup (paper/steel) makes you safer against loss but more exposed to theft, while every missing encrypted digital backup (SD card/smartcard) makes you safer from theft but more exposed to total loss. You’re pulled in opposite directions: “more copies” is good for resilience but bad for unencrypted security, and “fewer copies” is good for secrecy but bad for long‑term recovery. You break this paradox by keeping a few extremely well‑protected physical seed backups (paper/steel) plus many strongly encrypted digital backups (SD card/smartcard) that are harmless without the decryption key. You can also use a password manager to store a secure note describing where your physical backups (paper/steel) are and what encrypted backups (SD card/smartcard) exist, without ever writing the seed itself. I recommend to use hardware wallets that offer the ability to create redundant and encrypted backups e.g. SD cards, smartcards or encrypted QR codes.

Your self-custody setup should be like a fortress. The meme features a small island in the ocean, distinctively shaped like a Ledger hardware wallet, emphasizing the concept of strong digital security. Entitled "Fortress," the image symbolically portrays a hardware wallet as a secure stronghold for your cryptocurrency, akin to a fortified island. The island is difficult to access, lacking beaches or connecting rocks, mirroring the security features of a hardware wallet that protect against unauthorized access to digital coins. Notably, graffiti with the number "6529" is sprayed on the southern end of the building, referencing the well-known crypto personality punk6529. This artistic representation by Filip Hodas cleverly illustrates the robust defense provided by hardware wallets, underscoring their effectiveness in securing digital assets from external threats. This meme is part of the punk6529 Meme Card Collection, categorized under Meme 10, Season 4, Card 4. #fortress" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">yawaia.com/crypto-memes-e…

Always nice waking up to a 5 star Trustpilot rating. "Hands down 5 stars! Not only is Tobi answering fast any questions you might have when it comes to crypto but he also answers them in such a way that someone who is new to the crypto space will be able understand it. Tobi guided me thru the cold storage jungle to a hardware wallet that did fit my needs and portfolio. Thank you again Tobias!"

@punk6529 Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone!

@saylordocs Move it to a proper hardware wallet.

What would you do if you found this?

@Borg_Cryptos No, buy a hardware wallet and HODL for a few years. And you will be fine. Don't look at the price all the time. You are not a short term trader, but an investor.

Leave cryptos as fast as possible. Take profits and enjoy real life. My best advice.

Satoshi Nakamoto actually referenced a news article in the code of the first Bitcoin block to emphasize the untrustworthy banking system: “The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks.” Satoshis vision was to give back monetary power to the people. For example he once stated: "The root problem with conventional currency is all the trust that's required to make it work. The central bank must be trusted not to debase the currency, but the history of fiat currencies is full of breaches of that trust. Banks must be trusted to hold our money and transfer it electronically, but they lend it out in waves of credit bubbles with barely a fraction in reserve." I have this on my landing page, do I qualify?

If you know what this is, I want to follow you.
