    Dude describes how bitcoin helped him to financial independence and retiring early

    Posted: 23 Feb 2020 02:56 AM PST

    Found on /r/financialindependence:

    "I was an automotive engineer working for OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers in the Metro Detroit area. In the 2008 downturn I lost my job and was unemployed for 2 years and ended up getting my house foreclosed in 2010. By the time i got a job in March of 2010 I was basically at $0. I had a tiny amount in an 401k, had about $20,000 in credit card debt from being unemployed.

    But then I got a very well paying engineering job ($108k annual and eligible for time-and-half overtime). I kept living like I was unemployed, spent as little as possible and saved as much as possible. Through my parents I secured a mortgage on a nice 1 Bed / 1 Bath 900 sq ft condo. I paid off my CC debt in less than a year and kept banking cash and maxing my 401k every year.

    I heard about bitcoin in early 2013 (from a guildmate in World of Warcraft, believe it or not) and jumped on board. All time bitcoin price chart (log scale) for those unfamiliar with the history. I got in before the first spike to $1000 in December of 2013, and kept buying throughout the downswing in 2014 / 2015. In 2017 I sold 5.6 BTC for a total of $6000 and paid off the last of my student loans and my car, then a few months later I sold 4.25 BTC for $6700 and paid off the last of my condo mortgage. So in May of 2017 I was officially debt free and had a net worth of about $200,000.

    Then in the fall of 2017 was when bitcoin exploded. I knew I had to take profits here. Every time the price went up 10% I sold another bitcoin. $7500, $9000, $10700, $13000, $15500, $18600. I sold all the way up. I ended up selling about $100,000 in bitcoin that year and I pushed most of it into my Roth IRA and Brokerage accounts.

    Then I really started thinking about FIRE in early 2018. Started doing the math, tried to see what my expenses would be, and thought I'd give it ago. I've told myself from day 1 that I'd give this trial a solid 2 years. If I don't feel good about it, or the money doesn't seem right, then I'll still only be 40 years old and could (IMO) easily jump right back into an engineering gig. So I targeted early 2019 so I could frontload my 401k for two months, grab the annual bonus, then peace out.

    TL:DR: 38, FIREd, Money's looking right, Life is feeling right, everything is fine."

    Sim Swapped Beware

    Posted: 22 Feb 2020 02:48 PM PST

    I got Sim swapped this morning around 4 AM from California while I was asleep in Texas. This morning around 3:30 my sim was swapped by what i believe was a T Mobile employee with access to this function from home or from their work location.

    I woke up this morning to No service which i thought was unusual, so i trouble shoot myself to no avail, i go to a store front just to be asked repeatedly if i switched the sim which started to aggravate me to the point where i refused their solution of buying a new sim card so i went to the next one down the road. She pulls up my account and calls the employee customer service which the first store didn't even do, the tech mentions my sim was switched at 3:30 AM and bypassed the "go ahead" from me (which can only be done by a t mobile employee). we get it resolved at the store and i'm at a loss because i don't know anybody who would have the capacity to do this to me. She mentions to check my other accounts to make sure they're up to date and safe. First thing i do is check my main email which had also been compromised due to the 2 step factor being trumped by them getting my sim and entering through their own iphone. I get multiple emails with password changes and coinbase password reset, followed by receipts for conversions, a failed attempt to purchase 3 bitcoin thru my bank, then a lump sum payment to a bitcoin wallet. Already submitted a ticket, but what else can i do besides changing passwords?

    TLDR: got sim swapped in the middle of the night (by what i think was an employee of my phone company) and got my bit coin stolen. how they knew I had any is beyond me

    multiple ledger nano addresses, can they be detected?

    Posted: 23 Feb 2020 01:06 AM PST

    Using a Ledger Nano I have many bitcoin addresses, all accessible with the single device. Is it possible for a 3rd party to determine that those multiple addresses are all related to each other by the same private key?

    In other words, if someone knows I control one of those, can they determine I control all of them?

    for those who want to see the size of the protests, 25 million people are on the streets every Friday since 22 of February 2019 with 0 signs for weaknesshere is drone footage of 1 of the 58 states

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWtOAEd_cQM

    what i can say , we have evidence showing an Algerian bitcoin whales are manipulating the price for an eventual crypto ban lift

    For those who want more evidence or want to know more here is a support article: https://medium.com/@ghostsdz/decentralized-protests-in-algeria-3a0d918fc92e

    if Africa get involved in crypto, that's the breaking point for adoptionWe are also working on something very interesting for Africa with fellow Nigerians, a couple of surprises will soon hit the crypto community from Algeria& Nigeria

    Peace

    Hexadecimal dice rolls, question on private key generation

    Posted: 22 Feb 2020 09:48 PM PST

    When doing this, for the letter generation, could you make all the letters capital letters when rolling, or is this completely idiotic, I heard a YouTuber say u could either do all lower or upper caps for the letters? I would think a combo of both could be more random?

    Your money is in the words.

    It's not in your wallet.

    It's not on your computer.

    It's not on your phone.

    It's not on the internet.

    Your money is in the words.

    If you loose your words, you loose your money.

    If anyone else sees your words, you loose your money.

    Your money is in the words.
