I just don't trust that any generalized CEX will be around in 5 years time. Betting on the big boys you're probably better covered, but time has shown that giving your tokens to external parties never ends well. Not to mention to use Coinbase or Wealthsimple you have to give them all your personal data and KYC info.

If you're worried about him losing the hardware, you can get a fireproof metal seed phrase backup plate on Amazon.

Well Wealthsimple you are insured up to $100K so no risk there.

Why would he be worried about his KYC and Personal data being on Wealthsimple?

You are really overcomplicating things for a 20 year old getting $100 in crypto He isn't an anarchist hiding in the basement trying to hide his $100 from the government

It actually a really good learning experiencing everything you are suggesting - But I would start small, let him experience the dopamine rush of an asset appreciating in price, then slowly indoctrinate him to the horrors of government before trying to throw all that at him

Celsius founder Alex Mashinsky pleads guilty to fraud charges

Mashinsky, 59, was indicted on July 13, 2023, on seven counts of fraud, conspiracy and market manipulation charges. Federal prosecutors in Manhattan said he misled customers of Celsius to persuade them to invest, and artificially inflated the value of his company's proprietary crypto token. He pleaded not guilty that day.

On Tuesday, during a hearing before U.S. District Judge John Koeltl, Mashinsky said he pleaded guilty to two out of the seven counts he was initially charged with: commodities fraud, and a fraudulent scheme to manipulate the price of CEL, Celsius’ in-house token.

Agree. It's cyclical, true bullruns/peaks only last about 1-2 months, then we'll see the rotation into Altcoin Season with various tokens peaking for 3-4 months following, and then a slow decent into another bear market.

Sunrise, sunset.

I don't think so. Last I heard he was suing the council or something. His entire life will be consumed by this, and thoughts of it.

Knew it, always need the last word...go start another thread about me being right. Angry? You are projecting again. I come here during the milestones to see you spin and twist yourself into a pretzel...leave satisfied.

Its time to hang em up...admit I was right about BTC and move on with your life. This isn't going to get any better for you over the years. BTC is past the point of no return, its not going to zero like some of you predicted...this isn't tulips or pogs. Bitcoin launched 15 years ago and is the 7th largest asset in the world. This isn't some flash in the pan guys haha.
