I'm super new to bitcoin. wrapping my head around it has basically caused an existential crisis. especially this >> keys.lol
help a noob? where/how should I acquire it? I've just been using an exchange... I used venmo first... don't laugh. I have transferred it all to self custody and will be using cold storage. any help is appreciated.
Follow nostr:npub1rxysxnjkhrmqd3ey73dp9n5y5yvyzcs64acc9g0k2epcpwwyya4spvhnp8 and he has over 1,000 very beginner up to advanced bitcoin “how to” videos on YouTube. He is a trusted actor, but be very careful with who you take advice from. I guess that trust goes for me too, but you gotta start somewhere.
Honestly... Venmo might be better than an exchange. I highly recommend nostr:nprofile1qqsrtv3u6qkj6a09tnhr3l0wy67g9uw3t57ftqyqpvztpk3wmd6306spz4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wchsjyuf0c for all your buying needs. Set up an automatic buy and withdraw once a month for free. River built their infrastructure and custody from the ground up. They're true Bitcoiners.
Thank you both.
That link made me pucker. Prob a bad idea to click anything on that
I was thinking if I was going to set up that site where people could search every wallet,I could have it notify me if any wallet with coin was found
In the average human body there are roughly 7x10^27 atoms. To put that into context, that is 70,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms.
There are between 10^78 to 10^82 atoms in the known, observable universe. That works out to between ten quadrillion vigintillion and one-hundred thousand quadrillion vigintillion atoms.
There are roughly 10^77 (more accurately 2^256) Bitcoin private keys.
Each page on keys.lol generates 128 keys. Let's assume it takes each page load roughly 10 seconds. If every human on earth started simultaneously refreshing this page as quickly as they could (with zero breaks), it would take an astronomically long time, approximately 5.35 x 10^50 years, for the first person to find a Bitcoin private key that corresponds to an address with a balance. This time frame is vastly longer than the current age of the universe, illustrating the impracticality of this approach and the incomprehensible size of numbers of keys we're talking about.
