The magic tweet that I liked so many times and everytime I went back to it, it needed to be re liked. Loved re emphasised that I liked it, but felt like a special glitch. Cutting down on the running this year for the hope I’ll be able to run for a few more years. image
https://ref.zypto.com/kbBXhYOhDZb Please, if you can, in the Rewards Hub, subscribe to the newsletter and make exchanges on ChangeNow for $300 or purchase $25 cards. Swap Defi Onramp Swaps Multichain and Cards for Fiat Payments with No KYC or Minimal KYC, stands out in the crypto ecosystem by offering a self-custodial wallet integrated with prepaid Visa/Mastercard cards that allow you to spend crypto as fiat in the real world. The main focus on privacy is on non-reloadable virtual prepaid cards (single-load or single-use), which work like gift cards and require soft KYC or minimal KYC (usually just name, email, and date of birth, with no document uploads). There are no 100% no-KYC options for high-limit reloadable or physical cards (those require quick KYC with documents).Main Advantages of Non-Reloadable Prepaid Cards (Single-Load)These cards are ideal for hassle-free fiat payments: High Privacy: Soft KYC (no documents needed in most cases), more private than reloadable options. Perfect for those seeking relative anonymity without fully linking personal identity. Instant Issuance: Create and load the card in minutes directly in the Zypto app, with no long waits or approvals. Global Acceptance: Accepted anywhere that takes Visa/Mastercard (150+ million merchants), including online, in-store, contactless via Apple Pay/Google Pay/Samsung Pay, Uber, pharmacies, and POS machines. Crypto Loading: Supports 100+ cryptocurrencies (including stablecoins from various chains), with instant conversion to fiat (USD, EUR, GBP) upon loading. No Monthly Fees: $0 monthly; low issuance fee (~$6) + variable off-ramp (0-3%). Security and Control: Single-use prevents overdrafts; no ATM withdrawals (due to AML rules); spending controlled until the balance is zero. Mobile Integration: Add to digital wallets for fast and secure payments (3D Secure for online). Zypto's Exclusivities Compared to Competitors Extreme Blockchain and Token Versatility: True multichain support for over 20 blockchains (including Bitcoin on-chain, Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, Polygon, XRP Ledger, Avalanche, Tron, Algorand, Stellar, Optimism, Arbitrum, Base, Dash, Shibarium, Sui, Pi Network, and more), managing 24,000+ assets. Full native support for Bitcoin (BTC) on-chain transactions (send, receive, store, swap cross-chain), alongside thousands of tokens and stablecoins. Seamless cross-chain swaps without bridges or external tools, XAUT → 1 token = 1 troy ounce of gold,VNXAU → a token backed by physical gold (usually also 1 troy ounce, depending on the issuance). All-in-One Self-Custodial Ecosystem: Non-custodial DeFi wallet (full key control) integrated with cross-chain swaps, bill payments (120+ countries), mobile top-ups (170+ countries), and access to thousands of brand gift cards (Amazon, Uber, etc.) – all in one app. Unique Vault Key Card (VKC): NFC card-format hardware cold storage ($75-100), with split-key and 3FA (biometrics + device + card). Tap-to-sign for offline transaction approvals, supporting 24,000+ assets across all chains, including BTC on-chain. No other platform combines this with spending cards. High Privacy Flexibility: Single-load with soft KYC offers a rare balance between anonymity and usability (decent limits, up to $10k in some models), without relying on banks or CEXs. Rewards and Perks: ZYP points on spending/gift cards; lifetime referral program; concierge perks on premium cards (travel, purchase protection). No Traditional Banks: Direct loading from any DeFi wallet or exchange; focus on decentralization and volatility protection (convert crypto to stable fiat on load). Limitations for True No-KYC Not 100% without any verification (minimal soft KYC required for compliance); high-limit/reloadable cards require full KYC. Single-load: Non-reloadable (buy a new one after zeroing out); no ATM cashouts. Variable limits (e.g., $2k-10k daily on privacy-focused virtual cards). In summary, Zypto's single-load prepaid cards are one of the best options for everyday fiat payments with maximum privacy and minimal friction, especially when integrated with the self-custodial wallet's unmatched blockchain versatility (including full BTC on-chain support) and exclusive VKC. Download the app at zypto.com to try it (available globally). If you prioritize absolute zero KYC, alternatives like Bitsika or NoKYC.cards may be options, but with fewer DeFi features. https://ref.zypto.com/kbBXhYOhDZb OneKey is a versatile hardware wallet ideal for hold (HODL), staking, and trade/DeFi — a true all-in-one in 2026.Key strengths: Hold / Long-term storage — Excellent with battery-free models like OneKey Classic 1S Pure for maximum durability. Features EAL6+ secure elements (using the proprietary THD89 chip from Tongxin Microelectronics — a high-grade Chinese-developed secure microcontroller with military-grade certification, unlike many relying on standard imported chips), air-gapped QR signing, unbreakable titanium backups (KeyTag), and military-grade encrypted cards (Lite). Staking — Native one-stop support in the app for SOL, ETH, and more, with hardware-secured signing and integrated DeFi earn protocols — keys stay offline. Trade / DeFi — Seamless dApp connections (EVM + Solana + 100+ chains, 30,000+ tokens), full transaction decoding via SignGuard (anti-scam protection), and touchscreen models (Pro) for fast approvals. Bonus for Bitcoin users: Native Lightning Network integration in the app and hardware (Pro & Classic 1S) enables fast, low-cost BTC/sats transactions — a standout feature among hardware wallets, highlighted as one of the first/full native implementations.2026 reviews praise it for multi-chain flexibility + top security, perfect for DeFi/NFTs/staking/trading while solid for pure HODL.Why prefer OneKey over Trezor/Ledger now?No hardware wallet suffers remote key extraction — issues stem from data breaches fueling phishing: Ledger: Fresh January 2026 breach (via Global-e) exposed names/contacts/orders, adding to 2020 (270k+ users) and 2023 incidents — personalized phishing rampant. Trezor: 2025 incidents (contact form abuse, third-party breaches) create ongoing phishing risks from leaked data. OneKey advantages: Zero major customer data breaches or phishing waves (as of Jan 2026). Fully open-source firmware/app (community-auditable, unlike Ledger's closed-source). Top security with EAL6+ proprietary THD89 chips (often multiple in Pro for redundancy) + strong anti-tampering. Built-in anti-scam tools (local parsing, clear signing). If fed up with Ledger's repeated leaks or Trezor's third-party drama, OneKey offers better transparency, clean record, custom high-grade chips, and versatile features (including native Lightning) CODE: GA6PF5 https://store.blockstream.com/?code=KgD7dk4Ejmt6 Satellite Kits Go off-grid and stay connected to the Bitcoin network 24/7 without internet reliance using the Blockstream Satellite. Jade is the Bitcoin-focused hardware wallet emphasizing transparency and isolation, compatible with apps like Blockstream Green for air-gapped transactions via QR codes. Fully open-source code/hardware for community auditing, true air-gapped operation (no USB/Bluetooth for signing), and native Liquid network integration for sidechain assets like L-BTC/USDt. Liquid is a federated Bitcoin sidechain second-layer solution designed for fast and private settlements, using confidential transactions to hide amounts and assets(However, the Blockstream Green Wallet has the option to route using Tor), and enabling the issuance of tokens. It is not focused on instant micropayments, rather on safer and more efficient movement of larger values. Does not use JavaScript environments or NPM packages. Instead, it is built with Swift (iOS), Kotlin (Android), and C++ with QML (desktop/Qt), completely avoiding this vulnerability that affects packages with billions of downloads and that can swap crypto addresses to steal funds. This means that users' funds remain completely safe. https://store.blockstream.com/?code=KgD7dk4Ejmt6 #accounting #accountability #accountingservices #accountingsoftware #accountingandfinance #AccountingJobs #AccountingMadeSimple #AccountingServices #Account #anonymity #Bitcoin #bitcoin #Blockchain #bonds #BTC #btcnews #BTChallenge #BTCUSD #btcupdate #BtcAnalysis #BTCCBestCEX #BTCUSDT #business #businesses #cex #CEX #ColdWallet #coldwallet #coldwalletcrypto #coldwallets #companies #companieshouse #ConfidentialService #confidentialassignment #CryptoCard #cryptocard #cryptocards #CryptoChallenge #CryptoCommunity #cryptocurrency #cryptocurrencies #CryptoMarket #cryptomarket #cryptonews #CryptoNews #cryptopayments #CryptoSafety #cryptoswap #CryptoSwap #cryptotrader #cryptotrading #cryptotradingbot #cryptowallet #cryptowallets #cryptowalletsinfo #CryptoWallet #DeFi #DeFiDreams #defi #dex #DEX #euro #exchange #Exchange #ExchangeOnline #exchangeprogram #exchanges #exchangestudents #ExchangeOffer #ExchangeRate #EXCHANGE #finance #Finance #financebrokers #FinanceNews #financegoals #finances #financialservices #financetips #gold #goldtoken #Hardwarewallets #hardwarewallet #hardwarewalletmarket #hotwallet #hotwallets #investment #investing #liquidnetwork #monetaryreset #monetarysystem #MultichainWallet #multichain #offgrid #OffGridCamping #OffGridPower #offgridlife #offgridliving #onchaincrypto #onramp #prepaidcard #PrepaidCard #prepaidcards #privacybydesign #qrcode #rewards #SatelliteLaunch #satellitecommunications #satelliteinternet #satellites #Savings #SecureInvestment #signtools #signature #signaturedesign #signaturedish #signaturemakeup #SmartContracts #smartcontract #stock #StockMarket #stockmarket #stocks #tetherusdt #token #transaction #usdcad #usdt #wholesale #wholesaler #XAUUSD #Xauusdgold #XAUUSD_Buy #XAUT #xaussd #xauusdgoldforextradinglivetrading image

I can't run that far but I will be riding my bicycle today for 21 km/13.1 miles in support of you, Hal, ALS research, and bitcoin in the future. Thanks for promoting this and for your wonderful ongoing support of this community. I will make a donation to ALS research in Hal's name.
