So keeping your coins in exchange is just big sitting duck for

But if I don't leave my coins on the exchange how can I lend them to margin traders and reap interest?

>>2040067
Also if all of my holdings are in altcurrency how does it make sense to pull all of them out just so I can convert to Bitcoin and store it offline? I will be missing out on all the moonshots.

I just put the wallet.dat file on a Usb

None of your are worried about another Mt. Gox situation?

>>2040089
Not as much as I worry about not being able to react to huge swings in the market. This is a very volatile asset.

Who really comes out ahead in this situation?

>>2040089
No I'm actually hoping for another "hack"

vast majority of holdings are on a trezor hardware wallet

rest is kept on exchanges for futures and spot trading of alts and bitcoin

i know you're larping but do you think polo employees inside trade all the fucking time?

I'd figure I would have a reserve amount in cold storage and then another set of funds to trade around. So far I only have 6 ETF (coinlet) but I want to move a few of them off my computer and into a wallet but even then I'm worried if I get a virus or some malware on my comp that I'll lose all my money so cold storage seems to be the way to go.

And here I was thinking about opening up a Poloniex account to do some margin lending. What's going on with your account?

I think so, just make sure it's clean and clear from any viruses/spyware.

Sorry to hear that man, that's why I'm interested in getting a cold storage wallet for my ETC but I'd like it also to be compatible with other alt coins as well but most of what I find is just BTC/ETC/LTC

>>2040391
Glad you like it, enjoy.

I've got two hard wallets that are outdated and I'm too lazy to recover the coins. I recently tried reviving my Litecoin wallet and it took me all day just to figure out. This is why offline wallets are shit. Anyone else got any better ideas?
