Old boomer needs help with cryptocurrency.(self)
7 commentsbyGuyWhite

I want to donate to this site. But I know shit about cryptocurrency. We didn’t have cryptocurrency back when I got my MBA in the Stone Ages.

Is there an internet business that takes a credit card and converts it into a cryptocurrency donation.? I’m looking for recommendations for an honest firm. I’m guessing if I search engined this, it would give 6 gagillion hits; one or two of them honest.

I also haven't been keeping up since 2013.

We need to be in control of our own crypto, so critically:

  • Don't lose your wallet + keys - or it's lost forever.
  • Don't trust the cloud or online services - they can and have failed.

So, how can I keep my wallet + keys without an online service AND without having to download the entire Bitcoin history of every transaction adding up to hundreds of gigabytes needing perpetual updates?

I don't know anything about it either, but what about printing it on paper in a form that can be scanned?

Neat idea. QR codes aren't as complex as they seem.
Or etched in metal.
Whatever works.
