**Think Simple When It Comes to Crypto** At its core, crypto (especially Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Dogecoin) is just a way to send money directly from one person to another — peer-to-peer. The transaction goes: **Bob → Blockchain → Alice** -- That’s it. This method is **permissionless**, **immutable**, **portable**, and **divisible**. That simplicity and those four qualities are the entire point. Just like when a bank warns you about Zelle or sending cash: **Once you send it, it belongs to the recipient.** There’s no reversing it. How to Approach Crypto Wisely: - Don’t treat crypto “offerings” or hype as investments. - If you want to buy and hold Bitcoin (or similar), do this. 1. Buy it through a simple app like **Cash App** or **PayPal**. 2. Once the purchase settles, **send it to your own Tangem wallet** for safe keeping. You can leave small amounts in Cash App or PayPal for: - buy it cheap - pay others on PayPal with no transaction fee - Send it to any address - sell and add to you PayPal Bal for spending - In Cash App, spend it directly via the **Lightning Network** (works like tap-to-pay) You can also send from your Tangem wallet anytime. Just remember, once you hit send, the crypto is **gone**. There’s no customer service to call if you make a mistake. Final Thought - Crypto, is **not** for the unengaged who need to be led around. - it is a method of exchanging value outside tradition finance that can be sent in any amount to anywhere at anytime without impediment. - Scrilla explains scams perpetrated against those not following my advice above. #Bitcoin #Litecoin #Dogecoin #Phoenixwallet #Tangem wallet #cashapp and #PayPal piped.video/PciVCnoesCg?si=rkW7…

I won’t name the eatery, but this demonstrates that some businesses only need the information freely provided to the vendors when you use a credit or debit card to tap-to-pay or use the chip. In those cases, the merchant receives your full card number and expiration date. As noted below, I only needed to enter that information to complete the purchase. For financial security, add your credit, debit, rewards, and gift cards to Apple Pay or Google Wallet. Use your phone’s tap-to-pay feature, Its like paying with cash.

The golden carrot pulls everyone but the truly moral into its clutches. Why? Because they are either greedy or desperate for gain. Why? Because the world revolves around money, not love and peace. If there is a financial incentive, expect common morals to be circumvented. I guess it’s human nature to live a better life at someone else’s expense. piped.video/ES85diAW3Uo?is=BvP8…

Travelers beware regardless of your country of origin. I wasn’t aware that, when passing through a U.S. port of entry, CBP can search the contents of your phone without reasonable suspicion. This may include private messages, photos, bank accounts, and cryptocurrency holdings. A precautionary solution is to back up your data, remove sensitive apps before traveling, and reinstall them once you reach your destination. However if after your phone is confiscated for inspection, you erase data, that's a problem, hence 👆. Be prepared. ---- The Second Circuit said a manual phone search at the border is still a “routine” property inspection under existing Supreme Court border-search cases, so no suspicion is required. Judge Lee’s concurrence said that treating a phone that way **erases** your Fourth Amendment protection for the private contents people actually carry. The Supreme Court has not taken *Alisigwe* yet. The opinion is only a week old, so no cert petition is on the docket. Related cases in other circuits have already split on how far the **border exception** goes with electronic devices, which is why lawyers expect the Court to take the issue at some point. Until it does, the Second Circuit rule is the law in that circuit. A later Supreme Court decision could keep that rule, require suspicion, or require a warrant. That is the decision worth waiting for.

🚨HUGE: Tether CONFIRMS $183 BILLION USDT on BITCOIN, with Morgan Stanley reportedly in talks. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino has confirmed that USDT is coming to Bitcoin, after denying plans for a separate Tether blockchain last month. The bank is reportedly discussing a rollout of USDT on Bitcoin in Europe and globally. If Morgan Stanley follows through, the world's largest stablecoin could gain a major new route into institutional settlement. A big move that could reshape how crypto liquidity moves across markets.

Bitget says ~$351.6 million was drained from some of its hot wallets and that its cold wallets remain secure. The exchange also said user funds are safe and the full loss is covered by its "User Protection Fund," which holds ~$464 million for incidents like these. Withdrawals are temporarily paused as the exchange completes a security review, while deposits and trading continue. Bitget says law enforcement and on-chain security firms have been notified and will issue a full incident report within 24 hours.

A hot wallet is an app that generates and stores your encrypted private key and seed phrase on your phone. A cold wallet stores your private key and seed phrase on a separate device rather than on your phone. Exchanges store your keys and other wallet data on their servers. Tangem Wallet is a cold wallet that can be used without a seed phrase. The private key is generated and stored on the card and never leaves it. You receive three identical cards, and each card works the same way. For added security, store the cards in different locations. You can do it!

This is both tragic and detrimental to those who seek a more thrilling life. It explains why things like lawn darts and three-wheelers have been banned; honestly, I'm surprised free soloing and base jumping are still permitted. I have ridden many roller coasters, but after one experience where my head slammed against the headrest, I now only ride the ones that allow my head to move freely. It makes one wonder what the actual difference is between these thrill rides and sports like football, boxing, or MMA. If there is a waiver stating "Ride at Your Own Risk" and you are over eighteen, you should have zero recourse, and we should all be free to make our own decisions. That is how life should be, but the legal system has enabled people to blame others for their own choices. With the help of ambulance chasers like Morgan & Morgan, these lawyers enrich themselves at the expense of our personal freedoms. piped.video/mMCJFQ8Z7cs?is=6UyP…

🇨🇳JUST IN: China has spent a record $158.8 BILLION importing over 1,000 tonnes of gold in just eight months. That's 65% more than the $96.5 BILLION it spent on 886 tonnes in all of 2025, per the FT citing Chinese customs data. It comes as China's holdings of US Treasuries fell to $618 BILLION in July, the lowest level since August 2008. The central bank added 20 tonnes in August, its biggest month since 2023, and Goldman Sachs estimates it bought 35 tonnes in July, not the 20 it disclosed.

Virtually every line of Trump’s UN address contained a lie Trump increased the fabricated death toll from January’s riots in Iran to 72,000, and bizarrely claimed, “Recently, 10,000 were killed for protesting” He also said “many babies” were killed on Oct 7, when only one was

Laughable and deserved.
