Ever since I got into crypto and blockchaun investments I got more aware of security, now I do as much as I now how. For example Google Two Factor Authenticator is great and I run it on many apps and websites

Are users of Linux less at risk to malware ? I use Ubuntu and I didn't think malware is a as much a problem on Linux setups.

I wouldnt trust any computer, Linux has lower chance of malware though

I'm going to need to get hardware wallet soon as well. All this talk of risks is making me so nervous. But it sucks that you cant hold all crypto's on them'.

It also sucks that hardware wallets are expensive, and apparently often sold out :(

Hardware wallets are the ONLY way!
Exchanges are for purchase only, never store your currency there.

Thanks for another great video Ivan.

informative article, upvoted!

More importantly, Goldman Sachs analysts, along with JP Morgan researchers, told their clients in official corporate letters that regardless of their lack of understanding of the technical intricacies of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, the $135 billion market cap of cryptocurrencies cannot be ignored.

JP Morgan analyst Robert D. Boroujerdi stated:

“With the total value nearly $120 bln, it’s getting harder for institutional investors to ignore cryptocurrencies.There are currently over 800 cryptocurrencies out there, though just nine have a market cap in excess of $1 billion.”

Other analysts including CNBC’s Brian Kelly attributed the elimination of uncertainty in bitcoin’s ability to scale, increasing adoption of bitcoin in regions like Japan and rising demand from institutional investors as the core three factors behind the recent rally of bitcoin price.
