RE: For the love of God: Use a Hardware wallet.

I read Belemo’s post this morning and it hurt me to know what had happened to him. It was right after I read his post about the shitcoin experiment. Ugh.

I assume there had to be some lack of security that allowed this to happen in the first place. I didn’t consider the fact that the Nigerian gov itself could possibly be the culprit. I know that is just one of the rabbit holes your brain went down and there is no proof for it, but after reading several Nigerian posts about the police pulling guns on citizens over their crypto… it doesn’t seem impossible.

Your recommendation for a Ledger should be taken very seriously.

Fingers crossed on the very slim chances that an exchange gets the funds back to this hard working man. Tough lesson to have to learn, for sure. Until then the best we can do is support our friend with reminders that this isn’t the end of the world, just a setback that will never be forgotten.
