There have been far too many stories of people and exchanges losing their cryptocurrencies. One way things have changed is by the use of a hardware wallet. One that you the owner of the cryptos control. The best advice you can receive is to withdraw your cryptocurrencies and put them in your wallet. And the best way at the moment is to use a hardware wallet. For those that are not aware, we introduce the Trezor Bitcoin Wallet. ​

The following coins can be stored on your Trezor: Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, Dash, and Zcash with more coins on the way. You need not worry about your computer being protected as this hardware wallet will always be safe. All operations on the Trezor are safe, never exposes your private key, and verifies your transactions visually on its display. One other thing is that Trezor uses state of the art cryptography and practices for its security.

The Trezor is very easy to use. Connect it to your computer through one of the following operating systems: Windows, Mac Os, and Linux. On connection to your desktop or laptop, follow the easy to understand instructions. In addition, the Trezor has only 2 buttons, one for confirming actions, and the other for denying. You can also backup your Trezor (recovery seed) for restoration of your wallet due to theft, damage, and loss.

Trezor has adopted an open source code policy. All technical matters are discussed within a wider developer community and is also audited by an independent third party. This helps to ensure transparency and Trezor being completely backdoor free.

So Why Should Buy the Trezor?
First, it doesn’t matter whether you are an expert or a complete novice, this is an easy to use, secure wallet. Available in black and white.
Second, you can now forget about the keyloggers and viruses that affect desktops and laptops.
Third, you will never need to do another backup, read an encryption manual, print paper wallets or do another offline storage.
Fourth, never read another step by step guide to protecting your cryptocurrencies.
Fifth, using your Trezor requires just 3 steps:

1. Purchase your Trezor
2. Set it up
3. Store your recovery seed someplace safe (this is just in case of loss, damage or theft)

And thankfully you are done. Enough said!

In this blog we are going to talk about what has been changed and things to come in the future. As seen on our home page, a lot of the original widgets have been changed. First, there is now the opportunity for anyone to buy cryptocurrencies directly from our site. Our fiat currency widget has also been updated with a much cleaner interface. In addition, a heat map widget has been included to give a visual pulse of the currency markets.
 
We are still advertising to those who want to mine in a simple manner to download the Minergate app from the link on our site. We implore you to do so as this helps us bring more content to the site. You may notice that when you arrive at our home, exchange, or blog pages you will see a banner appears at the bottom of the page. This banner informs you that the site is also monetized by mining cryptocurrencies. You have the choice to turn it off so none of your resources are ever used.
 
There are a few more cryptocurrency widgets have not only have live prices but also the current market cap of the currencies. More will be added within the next few weeks.
 
On our exchange page, you will not only see the exchange widget but also a cryptocurrency stock screener. As always, do your due diligence to ensure that you pick correctly and securely. While we would love you to buy cryptos through us, we are not financial advisers and give no financial advice.  Do not risk money you cannot afford to lose.
 
Looking into the future, we hope to have a fully-fledged exchange platform operating on our site. So far, we have favoured the Changelly platform. This is because it is easy to integrate into any website and very easy to use by customers. It must be said that there may be a better option in the future. We reserve that right to select the best option for our clients.
 
Finally, we would like to keep the content on this site free. Nevertheless, we realise that in order to survive a way of earning income to keep operations moving is required. We will publish our crypto addresses for any donations you may believe we deserve. We hope that our content will be interesting enough for you to help. Thank you. 

Compliments of the season to all. I hope 2018 will be a more interesting year. I must start by apologising to all my Twitter followers as I have not been posting as regularly as I used to. I must say I have let a lot of good stories slip through my fingers and as such not get a curation.
 
Work matters aside, I have not had the best of health in recent times. In addition, I need to reorganize my blog space to write more regularly. Now is the time for me to get back to “writing ways”. I had wanted to have a separate blog for myself and one for my firm. On reflection, I decided it was best to have all future blog posts in one place. Since I am going to be doing a lot of the posting, I might as well post mine (blog posts) in the same place
 
With that settled, I can now concentrate on the matter of what I will be posting. I have found myself working on cryptocurrencies when not doing any project finance. There have quite a few requests to do research on some particular cryptos which I intend to honour. There may be a smattering of politics and as much economics I can mention whenever appropriate. In fact, economics might come in as full blogs but that will be determined as time goes on.
 
My ultimate intention is to leave matters social media behind and concentrate on finance, cryptos, economics, and to a lesser extent trading. I am still active on Twitter but not so much on my personal page. I am, however, very active on the Nosa Capital Twitter page. There is also a lot activity on the Nosa Capital Steemit page. I would like to know what you my followers think. Would you be happy if I start posting things on cryptos and economics on my personal page? Or should I keep it strictly social media? I will put a poll on both my Twitter page and website for your response.
 
My intention is to do more cryptocurrency research. I want to understand details about requested cryptocurrencies and write reports that even a novice can read. These reports will be put on the website to download for free. I can’t help thinking of the words of Dmitry Orlov though in his latest blog piece titled “Cryptomania”. Please note that bitcoin/cryptocurrency lovers might not enjoy the following statement:
 
“Bitcoin’s one useful property is that at the moment numerous people around the world are willing to treat it as valuable. But what if they are all idiots? Is it your theory that lots of people can’t be idiots all at once because there’s, you know… a lot of them? That’s not a theory—that’s a hypothesis, and it’s been disproven countless times. Yes, indeed, large groups of people can and sometimes do behave like idiots.”
 
This now begs the question, what if we really are all idiots?
 
For the record, I will continue to investigate cryptos regardless of what people like Dmitry Orlov say, expect to see my first report in a few weeks. Till then, adios amigos.
