It can be on a piece of paper…
Maybe stored under your bed? Is this seriously the future of money? 😀
put it in a drawer and forget about it for a few years
And then your wife chucks it out thinking it's junk 😀
Remember also that hardware doesn't keep data for ever. Hard drives were good for about 10years so if you were using them for long term storage you would have to refresh them. SSDs (or devices based on the same technology) are good for about half of that although the minimum spec for a consumer device is 1 year. Most devices from a good manufacturer will last wayyyyy longer that than though. There is a good chance you won't have any issue but not a chance would I trust my cash to a single device. At a minimum have two copies
I would print the keys (twice)
Are you like the some people who have posted on this thread whose happiness is literally inversely correlated to the BTC price so the more it dumps the happier they get (they never confirmed this but presumably the more it pumps the sadder they get)?
This is me! Cryptocurrency preys on the financially illiterate and the desperate. It is literally a negative sum game. The sooner this shit burns to the ground the better.
GTFO while you can 🙂

You say this like we're supposed to feel ashamed or insulted?
Yes it makes me happy that the price crash is cutting bitcoin mining's carbon footprint by the size of whole countries each week at the moment.
**** the rich, save the planet.
Made a substantial amount and cashed out a few months ago, but watching the current situation with interest. It's bloody and plenty have lost their shirts so it seems. I still have a spread of a few coins, but not looking at putting more money in just yet...
I have never had any trust in putting money in crypto, so put it in stocks and shares instead.
Sadly these have gone through the floor too!
This thread has gone as dead as the Crypto market! Have you all bailed out? 🙂
Nope, my 3commas BTC-ETH grid bot is ticking along quite happily.
I stopped working on my own bot for a while because I'm working on a CAD project but I'm sure I'll get back to it eventually.
Nope. Still putting a reasonably small amount aside at the end of the month & then buying some crypto with it.
Hoping to become a crypto millionaire before Lambo stop making internal combustion engined cars (it's a joke, I'd probably get a Porsche). Plus, I need some way of affording an e-bike when my knees eventually give up.
Come on everyone! Buy in so stumpy can get a Porsche or an ebike. Keep the dream alive.

Actually, it's been trending upwards for the last month or so.
Saying that, I reckon it's going to dump again this weekend if it's not already started.
I've still got mine. Some BTC. Xrp, ada and dot. Not huge sums and not worth as much as when I started! I did take £500 profit out at the end of last year though so I'm not down too much. I staked my dot and Ada a while ago, that's earnt roughly 8% over 6 months, admittedly 8% of not very much! But it's more than my isa has earnt in years with a considerably larger balance! Just don't trust the whole thing enough to put more in!
Have you all bailed out? 🙂
Nope. Scaled down my expectations though. Less 'wen lambo ser?' more 'wen BSO ser?'
I've been pretty disappointed with Ada price action. It's stayed in the top ten but the price has also stayed fairly low whereas a lot of other coins have made relatively more gains (since the bottom of the current bear market).

Yea, I'd spotted that.
The mechanics behind it seem a bit more opaque though. Miners selling off their coins to pay their bills had to bottom out at some point, now there's just stories of them selling off the actual ASIC's. So there's less supply of coins into the market.
Does the algorithm correct for that lack of hashing by making mining easier?

It's dropped a bit but not a huge amount: https://www.blockchain.com/charts/hash-rate
Edit: ah, that wasn't what you were asking. Here's the chart you want: https://www.coinwarz.com/mining/bitcoin/difficulty-chart
Still playing with the Casinos money as I got my original investment back a while ago. However, I’m really considering buying some ETH this weekend as I think it’ll tank. Then Ill flip as soon as prudence allows.

I'm still putting beer money in.
I'm not good enough to earn by trading and have so far failed to understand how to set up and program bots so I'm just buying a little bit of ETH and BTC each week and sitting on them
Anyone else using Kraken had a random deposit today?
A tiny amount of EthereumPoW has gone on my account - £3.87's worth at the minute! 🙂
Email confirming it seems genuine.
Ethereum holders were to get some Eth POW the main eth changed to POS
Cheers!
Yeah, not checked it out but had a deposit confirmation from Kraken in my email that I've just seen.
Gonna log-on now & see what's what.
Yeah, I got the same. It looks like "the merge" went ok...... For now
If the fees for eth are going to stay more or less the same then it's useless to me. IBC Cosmos Osmosis etc got it right with fees.
I hope no-one is suffering too much to enjoy this week's soap opera? It's like Eastenders but for Silicon Valley billionaires
LOL - I was just about to post!
Are all those redundant Silicon Valley types cashing in their Crypto! The downward graph will drop off the bottom of my phone before bedtime. 🙂
I looked a few days ago to see it was starting to climb back up abit, then this morning it's crashed massively!
How so? What's happening?
What’s happening?
The comment about Eastenders covers it. Two of the main exchange bosses decided to have a little feud and score so far is one exchange down and even some true believers thinking twice.
Looks like the party is over 🤦♂️
Couple of mates have "invested" lots over the past few years... Even chucking their government corona grants at it....
One of them was in for over 15k.
Ouch.
Guess he'll be on the tools for a few more years.
Looks like the party is over 🤦♂️
Death of crypto pronouncement number 1,234,567...today

Oh.
Looks like they've enjoyed throwing money at the Mercedes F1 team! But they all have...

Anyway - I'm still looking at Yacht catalogues! 🙂
Buy the dip!
Buy the dip
I’ve done that with Tulips - still waiting for them to recover. But at least I have some nice flowers every year.
Buy the dip!
Eat the Dip - preferably with a nice crisp.
Does this mean the MS Paint j-peg pictures, sorry NFT's are no longer worth a gazzilion pounds anymore? Oh dear, what a shame.
Early black Friday sale is it? Shut up and take my money!
Does this mean we get some of the more 'unique' forum members back to explain how they are now investing?
Well I'm the one at the top of this page saying "I've still got mine." Just copy and paste that post down here. I'll keep what I've got maybe it will all vanish, maybe it will be worth something in a year or two or three or X. Just treat it like a lottery ticket that lasts for years, or a bet on a veeeeerry slow horse race.
