BREAKING: BITCOIN CROSSES $79,000

[JamesCooper @Ziye_72]

@onlyayar I'm just telling the truth.
It's a pity I can't contact you via private message.

[JamesCooper @Ziye_72]

Bitcoin just broke $78,000 after gaining around $16,000 in a week—nearly 25%. About $140M in shorts were liquidated in the past hour.

Big moves bring attention back to the market. They’re also a reminder: owning crypto is one thing; controlling your keys is another.

@alzJuliex Every fluid in the body is intoxicating.

❗️Never shared your seed—but the wallet was drained? Possible causes include malicious token approvals, fake apps, a compromised device or exposed backups.
Stop using the wallet, preserve the transaction hashes and move remaining assets to a new wallet created on a clean device.

@spreadlove1966 @CyberScrilla Have you been using an Ellipal wallet all along?

[JamesCooper @Ziye_72]

@JoshuaCarother2 @CyberScrilla @Tangem @Trezor @Ledger @OneKeyHQ For basic BTC use, a genuine Nano S that you set up yourself can still work. But it’s a retired model with limited memory and ended software support, so I wouldn’t buy one today as a long-term option. If you upgrade, enter the recovery phrase only on the new device—never online.

[JamesCooper @Ziye_72]

@LuckV0Itia @Lepchas_ @Ledger It can be worth it if you want stronger self-custody. Your SOL stays on-chain—Ledger protects the keys used to access it. If it’s currently held in a custodial Coinbase or Robinhood account, you’d need to withdraw it to a Ledger-secured Solana address.

@ULY__831 @adam3us Are you struggling to decide which wallet to choose?

[JamesCooper @Ziye_72]

@marc02200 If I had to pick just one, I’d choose Ledger as the best all-rounder: secure-element key protection, broad asset support, a mature ecosystem, and solid Bitcoin multisig support with on-device policy, address, and transaction verification.

[JamesCooper @Ziye_72]

@angelinooor This requires you to learn how to make good use of it.

[JamesCooper @Ziye_72]

@DelphuneLens @CoinMarketCap Do you know much about Lumma Stealer?

[JamesCooper @Ziye_72]

You should always keep your seed phrase safe; otherwise, you could suffer financial loss at any time.

[JamesCooper @Ziye_72]

@JCnum1theGame @w_s_bitcoin May I ask how long you have been using Ledger products?

[JamesCooper @Ziye_72]

@freeborn_farmer @ProofOfMoney May I ask out of curiosity which hardware wallet you switched to?

[JamesCooper @Ziye_72]

@Crypto_Jargon A hardware wallet can protect private keys, but it cannot protect a recovery phrase once that phrase is visible. If a seed phrase ever appears in a photo or video, treat it as compromised and immediately move the funds to a new wallet generated with a new phrase.

[JamesCooper @Ziye_72]

@TrevesStudios @maxone_lens @Ledger What kind of problem are you having with your Ledger?
