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

U r a blessing to humanity, Andreas 👏

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 👍👍👍

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...

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!

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

Thank you, Andreas, for your wisdom

EXTREMELY useful overview, SIR ... thank you!

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

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).

We love you Andreas!! ❤️

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

Thanks for your efforts.

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 !!

Great advice, thank you.

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

Still one of the most precious advice!

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?

Good caveats on using paper wallets

Thanks mate. Great content. 😆😎👍👌

Thank you sir for this valuable info.

Great topic!

3:58 wow. Good to know.

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

knew it was wise to get a trezor right from start

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.

Any opinion of the new ECOMI SecureWallet?

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”

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.

Is that any different from a paper wallet, except that an old phone is likely to have (NSA) software that can turn on the wifi, Bluetooth or 3G, even mic and camera, without it showing that the phone is even powered on or connected?

@@stephenkamenar no, but you can still send the coins that are stored on a paper wallet, and a phone that can send coins is not truly offline, so is inherently less safe than a fully offline wallet. But I like your idea, just think an effectively broken phone is harder to achieve and then becomes an offline wallet, just like a paper wallet. I think we need phones like the laptops that you can get with hardware on off switches for wifi, mic and camera, so you can be sure they are powered off while the phone is on. There is one company that sells laptops like that, just forgot the name..

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.

They're all generated with your seed, so you can regenerate them all from it.

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

damn your a well of knowledge

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.

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.

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!

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

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

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.
