  1. WARNING: There are a number of scammers who are using my image and
    channel name to try to connect with my viewers on WhatsApp and other
    platforms to scam them. Just so you know, I will never refer you to
    "my personal trader" or try to connect with you personally to sell you
    something. I am trying to ban these scammers as quickly as they pop up. You can
    always recognize a scammer by clicking on the image and seeing how
    many videos he has. All of these guys have zero videos, while I have
    hundreds. I also now have a checkmark next to my name, so that you can distinguish the real Trader University from the imposters. Follow me on Twitter @mattkratter

  3. If you send from an exchange to your hidden wallet isn't, the wallet address is still seen on chain.? o this is a precaution for a physical thief that knows your 12 seeds words?

  4. Many thanks for your videos Matthew! At the end of the video you brought up a point I was thinking about for a while: what if I "get hit by a bus"… How to make sure I don't take my Bitcoin to the grave? The stronger the security setup is, the harder it is to pass it to someone else… Especially when the kids are still too young, the wife and the parents aren't very tech-savvy… You mentioned that you dedicate a paid course to this subject, but maybe you could share some of your thoughts about this in a public video? Thanks again, watching you daily!

  5. Hi Matthew. Solid video, as always. I greatly appreciate the work you are doing. There is a topic I would love for you to discuss. Forgive me if you have already addressed in an earlier video, but perhaps it may deserve a video all to itself. It is the issue of transparency/privacy. I heard someone recently mention that Monero is ultimately a better currency because, unlike Bitcoin, your purchases are not traceable on it's blockchain. Is this true? Can we be searched for and 'found' by our real world names or some other means on the Bitcoin blockchain by entities like the US Government or even ordinary crypto-savvy criminals, and then all of our transactions seen, tracked, taxed, punished, etc? What precisely is our level of anonymity in Bitcoin? Thanks!!

  6. I understand that 12 words to guess is complicated, but why wouldn't you use 24 words as it is harder to hack if it ever came down to it?

  10. Thanks Matt! Nice vid as always. Was thinking why is ledger not open source? If they were more people would use them… So why? after your ask yourself thinks like that and are using a ledger… how can you sleep well?

  11. this one slipped past me somehow! Matt I don't know if this is useful info but I usually withdraw from exchanges into a newly generated core wallet (hot) address and then immediately to the address associated with my hw. unfortunately I have been unable to connect my node to my hw. the reason I do this is because the exchanges records the initial address its withdrawn to. I need a trezor model t now.

  14. Great material as usual Matt. Thanks!
    Question: I have a multisig setup and am in the process of running my own node. Can I link my multisig to my node?

  19. One very important issue is that you should always order these artifacts DIRECTLY from the manufacturer to ensure they are not tampered with. as well as cell phones.

  21. HI MATT , WE NEED THE UP TAKE OFF BTC <NOT FROM CHINA < WE NEED THE COST OF AND IN CONTRACT OFF FREE <WALLETES?
    AND CREATE A CONTRACET< WITH EATCH APP? so IT WILL BE HOSTED?

  26. From what I understand using a passphrase is more secure than 256 bits because it adds an xfp to the end of the xpub (256 bit master key) so it's not like your funds could be accessed with some other seed phrase, is this correct?

  27. you dislike ledger for being closed source, which is a valid argument for sure. it isnt so cut and dry though that open source is always better. In general it is, but also having source code available to everyone in a security application also opens the doors up for hackers to have way easier access to figuring out how to hack it.. and ppl can hack any hardware..

    I got a trezor but, it has never worked from day 1, tried it on multiple computers and their software would not recognize the hardware no matter what. Their support was very lackluster as well, so i have not used it. Ledger has so far seemed like much better hardware

  33. thanks for very helful video, very helpful in deed. can you help me out with this confusing, set the wallet as hidden wallet , if your trezor got spoiled how could you import it to ledger/ keystone as it has pass phrase? In this case assume that import the hidden wallet into keystone wallet – keystone has 24 seeds .. so how it work?
