What is a Bitcoin
Content: Hi,

I am sorry in advance for asking a dumb question, but I am trying to understand what a Bitcoin is exactly, and can't figure it out.

All I can find is how the blockchain and mining works, but not what Bitcoins really are.

For example, I found that the miners create blocks on the blockchain by solving a puzzle, and then as a reward they receive Bitcoin.

But where are these Bitcoins coming from, are they stored somewhere, or are these coming from these blocks?

And what are Bitcoins, are they like code or something?

Can someone help me to understand this better?

Thank you in advance.

Messages from scammers.
Content: It’s mad how many messages from scammers I’ve received, after posting yesterday about Coinbase not loading. I guess this happens a lot? Or is it because I’m new. Either way it’s sad.

From 14:11 to 15:25

It's also awesome that he mentions that unlike DEFI, there seems to be only one 'winner' in the crypto privacy niche.

Monero has been removed from Coindesk
Content: I’ve just noticed this. It happened this morning. This is likely to further detract from monero’s visibility as I know Coindesk is the place a lot of retail/passive crypto holders and investors go to look for buys

Edit: Coindesk provides a live quote service for all cryptos ..all except monero now (for some reason). It’s one of the first search results when throwing “monero price” into google so is a common landing spot and starting point for many people who are beginning their research into monero. I have a friend who holds monero who goes to check prices on Coindesk ..I sometimes use it too. I know several people who read articles on Coindesk. Link: https://www.coindesk.com/price/monero

Edit 2: Some are saying Coindesk have removed any quoting service outside of the top 20. This is incorrect. Zcash is 64th and their price feed is working. Link: https://www.coindesk.com/price/zcash

I’m dumb and got phished.
Content: Hello! I would usually consider myself to be semi internet literate and not prone to scams but I guess I fell for one. As a result someone sent themselves the entire balance of my Bitcoin in my CB account. Aside from filing a police report can anyone offer advice as to what steps to take after Bitcoin gets stolen? TIA.

Update: I still don’t know exactly what I did wrong. I did find the dodgy URL in my history but to my knowledge I’ve only ever accessed Coinbase through the app and official Coinbase site so I’m not sure how I got redirected. I double checked and all my emails were legit Coinbase emails. Here’s the transaction through the blockchain if this helps anyone avoid them.

Please learn from another’s misfortune… My little brother just lost almost 50,000$ because of something so simple.
Content: So back story since I have to hit a character limit anyway…. My little brother sold his car before his deployment a little over a year ago. Dumped his 12k into crypto and over the course of the last year turned it into just under 50k…

All is well so far right. Well the guy decided at the beginning the best way to not lose his keys was to screenshot them. He was even smart enough to print said picture and put it in a safe. And delete the pic from his phone.

What he failed to do was delete the photo from his Apple photos backup. Fast forward to today and someone hacked into his Apple account (not a difficult feat for most hackers) Obviously recognized screenshots from a crypto wallet keys, address, and QR code included. And cleaned him out.

His funds since have changed addresses a couple times and from his best look have been converted to Monero…gone forever.

Hopefully from his misfortune someone here can learn a lesson and not suffer the same fate. Hell most of us probably even have a insider threat. Get a divorce and a disgruntled spouse who knows your passwords cleans you out lol. Be smart

And FYI he is a member of this sub if you wish to express condolences or give him crap for being an idiot. (That’s what I’ve been doing). We will see if he is too embarrassed to speak out lol.

Hacked Accounts are not Coinbase Fault - Sorry CNBC
Content: After reading many articles and situations on how individual accounts got hacked - Phone Carriers(Especially! T-Mobile) are at fault for allowing SIM Card Swamps. The fact these phone carriers never caught on to these hackers is unbelievable. Two authentication is used by so many companies, not just Coinbase. If your own phone carrier allows a hackers to take over your phone with 5 min call and gain access to any account - The Phone Carrier is at fault.

We just recently found out hackers had access to over 101 Million users data at T-Mobile Database. We have no idea how long they have had access to the database. For all we know, they have been using this information to gain access to our personal identification(SSN, Address, Photo ID).

There is a huge lawsuit that needs to be settled to all customers of T-Mobile, Sprint and Verizon when it comes to our Data.

Monero, and creepy blockchain tracing firms
Content: The following article from The Motley Fool https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/08/23/why-monero-is-skyrocketing-today/ says it best

It's therefore a solid cryptocurrency to buy now for those looking to use it for legitimate transactions without worrying about creepy blockchain tracing firms.

How does reporting crypto gains in your taxes work in Canada?
Content: How does reporting crypto gains in your taxes work in Canada? When your filing taxes, do you only need to provide an amount of your capital gains from selling crypto that year or do you need to also provide supporting documentation like a tax report done on koinly or coin tracker?

Sorry, newbie over here lol
