    in 100 years there will be no Etc or BTC left available ,because it will all be lost …statistically speaking .Bitcoin may have a future price increase if everyone carries on loosing them and dying without sharing the wallet address.,lol…

  3. Gecko Pico

    If Greyscale refuse to show proofs then they don't have all the BTC they say they do. It's equivalent to a bank showing you the gold they hold for each dollar stored. There is no security risk for doing this.. Addresses are public anyway. It's interesting that they are selling at 50% while the addresses that the analysis you found were equiv to about 50% also….. Coincidence?

    Thanks James for the amount of hard work and free knowledge you are putting out in the ether… Stay strong. Tough times will pass.

  7. Deborah Kamisher

    Please investigate Ledger’s hard wallet because. Ledger located in France. France has a vibrant very rich Arabic population. Is there a back door in Ledgers hard wallet? I wouldn’t put this is the ultimate scam

    Love you James, Question about your all eggs in one basket idea. Do you follow that with your Hardware wallets too or put all your eggs in one wallet?

    James, I think your wrong about staking with cardano, you can not lose your coins. It’s liquid staking and you always have control of your private keys even while staking.

  17. P MJDF

    No slashing on Cardano. And 100%liquid staking. And you keep custody of your ADA while staking. Simply put, no 3rd party risk to losing your crypto. So, "no free lunch" only applies to crypto like ETH and SOL.

    Get ready to start hustling 2023 to dca in run up to halvening and the inevitable slow climb and blow off top a year later…..dca is your chance to reduce your loses those that are stinging right now 😉

  20. Sue Pearson

    Thank you once again for all your hard work and everything you share-best quality around. Just make sure you look after yourself during these tough times too

    James my only concern about your GBTC analysis is that Chainalysis was also tracking FTX activity and “didn’t notice” the fraud as they claim their business model is about. I think Chainalysis is a fraud front business there to provide disnfo for pay.

    Be wry careful with ledger support. I very nearly fell for a scammer pretending to be support (on twitter as there doesn’t seem to be any other way of contacting support).

  40. GDNASP

    A heart of gold and a sharp mind – James you're so valuable to ALL of us. In these rough days remember that sunny days are ahead – everyone be mindful of that. Eventually, all bears must hibernate… Love to all.

    BTC all time high. You’ll need the world to have huge inflation again and more disposable income than ever before. Fear from the losses in this market crash will destroy adoption of BTC. I calculate BTC getting back to its ATH in 2033. Nothing significant will happen after the next halving
