Bitcoin is more safe to hold than gold. Gold you can lost or be robbed.
With bitcoin you can forget/lose you address or send to different address that you have wanted to, hmmm? Bitcoin is easier in a sence that with gold its like staying in one place - its hard to move it.
Just found a stack of paper wallets from 2015. I was giving away 0.05 Bitcoi in each and these were the leftovers. It’s a nice find I didn’t know I had it....
Yep. All of a sudden scrap amounts become real money.
It is kind of bullshit, though, regarding how some of these people treat their gifts, and I have a few war stories regarding that too.
My friend recently contacted me, and told me that he was looking for his son's $40 bitcoin transaction that I had sent for a graduation gift.
Mind you I sent $40 to the son and $10 to the dad, in order that they could, perhaps, learn together about bitcoin. The price was around $380 at the time... So, a couple of times a year, I would remind him about bitcoin and ask him if he had retrieved the bitcoin... did it through Circle.... He said, yeah, yeah, yeah, he still has access to the e-mail account, and just a few weeks ago when he contacted me, he asked me if I could recover the coins because he said that he did not have access to the e-mail accounts. The son's value was something like $1,740 and the dads value was something like $440. Crazy. I think that they lost everything, unless they can regain access to their earlier e-mails, perhaps there is a way... I think that it was a private domain e-mail that their family administrator allowed the domain to expire.
Thats really sucks, that is the problem with most people. They don't take it seriously thta they are their own bank. They are the ones who need to care for coins, theres nobody who would help them. I feel so bad when I hear stories like this really it like pissis me off because people don't wanna listen...
