    00:01 Hey everyone. Hackers and scammers are
    00:04 extremely clever and they are incessant
    00:07 these days. Uh people keep sending me uh
    00:10 screenshots of text message that they
    00:12 supposedly have gotten from Coinbase
    00:15 about their account being compromised
    00:16 and they’re supposed to call a number to
    00:18 secure it. Of course, there’s hackers on
    00:21 scammers on the other side of that phone
    00:22 number. People are sending me
    00:24 screenshots of emails they’re getting
    00:26 where people are, you know, supposedly
    00:28 their accounts have been compromised or
    00:30 tech support needs access to help them
    00:32 secure their accounts or there’s
    00:33 fraudulent activity and they’re supposed
    00:35 to call this number to resolve
    00:37 potentially fraudulent activity on their
    00:39 account. Hackers and scammers are trying
    00:41 everything. They’re blasting tens of
    00:44 thousands of text messages every day,
    00:46 probably millions every day to people
    00:48 all over that are claiming to be from
    00:51 Google, claiming to be from Coinbase,
    00:54 claiming to be from anybody that would
    00:56 give them access to your accounts. Um,
    00:60 one second, let me get through traffic
    01:01 here. Um, they especially want to get in
    01:04 Coinbase accounts because obviously that
    01:06 gives them access to your Bitcoin uh if
    01:08 it’s in um if it’s in Coinbase. But the
    01:12 what they really want is access to your
    01:13 Google account because most people use
    01:16 the Google password manager and they
    01:18 have all their passwords in there
    01:20 including Coinbase. And most people use
    01:22 Google authenticator for two-factor
    01:24 authentication. And all of their
    01:26 two-factor authentication codes are
    01:28 backed up to their Google account. And
    01:30 Google does not require two-factor
    01:32 authentication to be on on the account,
    01:34 which is insane. I cannot believe that
    01:36 Google does not require two-factor
    01:38 authentication to be on on a Google a
    01:40 Gmail account. So hackers and scammers
    01:43 are constantly trying to hack Coinbase
    01:45 accounts because it gives them access to
    01:46 your Bitcoin or Google accounts because
    01:49 it gives them access to everything. If
    01:51 they can get access to your Gmail
    01:52 account, they can use that Gmail account
    01:55 to log into anywhere that the that the
    01:57 Gmail uh Google password manager has the
    02:00 password saved for. And for all of those
    02:03 sites, which probably all of them
    02:04 require two-factor authentication, they
    02:07 have access then to your uh Google
    02:09 authenticator to get two-factor
    02:11 authentication codes off of that. Now,
    02:13 if your two-factor authentication codes
    02:15 go to your phone as a text message
    02:18 rather than two-factor authentication
    02:20 codes coming from Google Authenticator,
    02:22 then obviously they do not have access
    02:24 to that. Unless, of course, they your
    02:27 AT&T or Verizon or Ceasefire or whatever
    02:29 you’re using is backed up in your uh
    02:32 Google password manager, which point
    02:35 they of course will log into AT&T. They
    02:38 will port your phone number in the
    02:40 middle of the night over to a device
    02:41 that they can control using once again
    02:45 your Google password manager and your
    02:46 saved AT&T credentials plus the
    02:49 two-factor authentication code that
    02:51 comes to uh off of Google Authenticator.
    02:54 Now again, if if you get a text message
    02:56 from AT&T as your two-factor
    02:59 authentication code, then they’re stuck
    03:00 because they have access to your AT&T
    03:02 account, but not the two-factor
    03:03 authentication code because it’s going
    03:05 to a phone number they’re trying to port
    03:07 and they can’t have access to it. But
    03:09 all of this to say, you need to buy a
    03:11 bit key and secure your Bitcoin with
    03:14 Bitkey.
    03:16 www.bitkey.world. Bit tke
    03:18 ke.orld. The link is in this video
    03:20 description. Please go buy yourself a
    03:22 Bit Key for 150 bucks. It’s the best
    03:24 money you’ll ever spend. It is the most
    03:27 secure way to keep your Bitcoin. Now,
    03:29 BitKey thought of everything. It’s made
    03:31 by the company that is behind the Square
    03:33 payment terminals. The company name is
    03:35 Block Incorporated. It’s a publicly
    03:37 traded company in the United States.
    03:39 It’s a large company. The CEO is Jack
    03:41 Dorsey, the founder of Twitter. He
    03:43 started two companies, Twitter, which he
    03:45 sold to Elon Musk, and uh Square, which
    03:48 he rebranded to Block because they were
    03:50 doing stuff related to Bitcoin and it
    03:53 was a sort of a hat tip to the Block
    03:55 chain. So anyway, they renamed
    03:57 themselves Block, but anyway, they make
    03:59 the Cash App mobile app. They also make
    04:02 the Square payment terminals and they do
    04:03 a bunch of other stuff, but one of their
    04:05 products is the Bit Key device to secure
    04:07 Bitcoin because Jack Dorsey is a big fan
    04:09 of Bitcoin. So they thought of
    04:12 everything. If you lose your phone, you
    04:14 can restore your uh the key to your
    04:17 bitco bitcoin to a new phone with the
    04:20 bit key device. If you lose the bit key
    04:22 device, you can restore uh the key to
    04:25 your a new bit device from your phone.
    04:28 So if you lose your phone, you can
    04:30 restore from the bit key device. If you
    04:31 loit key device, you can restore from
    04:33 your phone. If you lose both of them at
    04:35 the same time, all you have to do is uh
    04:38 use uh what’s called trusted contacts.
    04:41 Trusted contacts is a contact uh of
    04:44 yours that can help you decrypt an
    04:47 encrypted copy of your key that is
    04:49 stored in your iCloud account or your
    04:51 Google account. So even if you lose your
    04:53 phone and your Bit Key device
    04:56 simultaneously, you can use one of you
    04:58 can leverage one of your trusted
    05:00 contacts which is a family member or a
    05:03 friend or something like that to uh read
    05:05 off a decryption code uh that will
    05:08 enable you to get access to your Bitcoin
    05:10 because the key is saved uh to your
    05:13 Bitcoin in your iCloud account or Google
    05:16 account. So even if you lo the Bit Key
    05:17 device and you lose your phone, one of
    05:20 your trusted contacts can get you helped
    05:22 you get access. And if that’s still not
    05:25 good enough for you because you’re still
    05:27 worried about it, you can set up
    05:29 inheritance planning in your BitKey
    05:31 device. And if you die, then after 6
    05:34 months, the person who um who is set up
    05:38 to inherit the Bitcoin from your BitKey
    05:40 device, which requires them to also have
    05:42 a Bit Key device, that person can for 6
    05:45 months, they can go through a process
    05:47 with a waiting period to get the uh your
    05:50 Bitcoin transferred over to their Bitkey
    05:53 device. So, if you’re worried that, you
    05:55 know, you’re going to lose your Bitcoin
    05:56 because you’re you’re going to go down
    05:58 in a plane crash and nobody will be able
    06:00 to unlock your Bit Key device because
    06:02 it’s got your fingerprint and obviously
    06:04 you’re not available and your loved ones
    06:07 will not be able to access your iCloud
    06:08 account because somehow they just won’t.
    06:10 Even though obviously that happens all
    06:12 the time that people pass away and their
    06:15 loved ones get access to their iCloud
    06:17 account or Google account which gives
    06:18 them access to bank accounts and all
    06:20 that sort of stuff. you just have to
    06:21 produce a death certificate and go
    06:23 through a whole process uh to
    06:25 authenticate that you really are the
    06:27 loved one and you know all that. But if
    06:30 that is a bill, if none of that is good
    06:32 enough for you, you can set up
    06:33 inheritance planning as a backup to all
    06:35 of that. So, in case all of your um you
    06:40 know, in case you go down in a plane
    06:42 crash, your bit key burns up in a house
    06:44 fire, your plane your phone goes down in
    06:47 the same plane crash, all your trusted
    06:49 contacts happen to be on the same plane,
    06:51 they all go down in the plane crash,
    06:53 nobody can figure out how to recover any
    06:56 of the iCloud accounts for you or any of
    06:58 your trusted contacts. Well, then you
    07:00 have inher in inheritance planning and
    07:02 your loved one will still get your
    07:04 Bitcoin after a six-month waiting
    07:07 period. And during that time, they have
    07:09 to uh you know, they have to go through
    07:10 the process and you get lots of alerts
    07:12 to your phone, which is at the bottom of
    07:14 the ocean presumably, your email
    07:17 account, which obviously your loved ones
    07:18 should have access to after you pass
    07:20 away, asking if you know if you want to
    07:23 complete the inheritance process. And
    07:26 after a six month, literally a six-month
    07:28 waiting period just to make sure you’re
    07:31 actually super dead and and you’re not
    07:34 responding to any push notifications and
    07:37 you’re not responding to any emails and
    07:39 you’re not you are showing no signs of
    07:41 life for more than 6 months, then the
    07:44 inheritance process will be allowed to
    07:46 move forward to move your Bitcoin to
    07:48 your loved one. So, it’s really Bit Key
    07:51 is genius. They set it up where it’s
    07:53 basically impossible to lose your
    07:55 Bitcoin. As long as you have at least
    07:57 one trusted contact set up, there’s
    07:60 basically no way you could possibly lose
    08:02 your Bitcoin. It’s super easy to use.
    08:04 It’s super straightforward. There is
    08:06 just no reason not to buy yourself a Bit
    08:08 Key. Please, I will be your personal
    08:11 technical support representative. If
    08:14 you’re not comfortable somehow with any
    08:15 of this, just call me. I will walk you
    08:18 through getting your Bit Key set up. I
    08:20 will answer questions. You can message
    08:22 me, you can text me at
    08:25 601-2070813. I’ve got an entire video
    08:28 which I will post in the comments about
    08:30 how to set up a Bitkey device. It’s
    08:32 super simple. I walk Ali Shaw through
    08:34 setting a bit a bit key device from
    08:36 scratch complete with, you know,
    08:38 screenshots and everything. I promise
    08:40 you can do it. I promise you’re not
    08:42 going to mess it up. I promise it’s so
    08:44 unbelievably simple. You’re going to
    08:46 think, “Wow, I should have done that a
    08:48 long time ago.” And when you realize
    08:50 that for most people access to their
    08:53 Bitcoin on Coinbase is as simple as
    08:55 hacking their Google account because
    08:58 again they get your password manager on
    09:00 Google. If they hack your Google
    09:01 account, your G Gmail account, they get
    09:04 your uh your your password manager on
    09:06 Google and if Coinbase is in there,
    09:08 they’re going to have that password. And
    09:10 if two-factor authentication is set up
    09:13 uh with Google authenticator, a hacker
    09:15 or a scammer is going to get that too
    09:17 because that’s all backed up to the
    09:19 Google or the uh the Apple iCloud or
    09:22 Google Cloud with the Google uh
    09:25 authenticator app. So, please buy
    09:27 yourself a Bit Key. I promise it’s
    09:28 straightforward. You can do it. There is
    09:30 absolutely no reason to trust someone
    09:33 else with your Bitcoin that can get
    09:35 hacked or scammed or even trust yourself
    09:37 not to get scammed with people calling
    09:40 constantly claiming to be Coinbase,
    09:42 claiming to be Google, claiming to be
    09:43 securing your account, claiming to be
    09:46 claiming that there was unauthorized
    09:47 activity on your account and they just
    09:49 need you to verify a few things for them
    09:52 to secure your account. Of course,
    09:53 they’re trying to steal your Bitcoin.
    09:55 So, please get yourself a bit key. Your
    09:57 Bitcoin is way safer. and they thought
    09:60 of everything and there’s just no
    10:02 possible way to mess up BitKey again. As
    10:04 long as you have at least one trusted
    10:05 contact set up, you’re not going to mess
    10:07 it up. You’re not going to lose your
    10:08 Bitcoin. As long as you have at least
    10:10 one trusted contact set up, you can do
    10:12 it. You should do it. Your Bitcoin, it
    10:15 should not be one hack away from a
    10:18 scammer or a hacker. Bit key eliminates
    10:20 all of that risk. Please get yourself a
    10:22 Bit Key. And if you can’t afford it
    10:24 because it’s
    10:26 $149, message me and I will I will send
    10:30 you $50 so that the price is $99 for
    10:33 you. If the price is the prohibiting
    10:36 factor, I will get the price personally
    10:38 out of my own pocket below a hundred
    10:41 bucks by sending you $50 to enable you
    10:43 to get a bit key and store your Bitcoin
    10:46 out of the hands of hackers and out of
    10:48 the hands of scammers. Please do it.
    10:50 Please, please, please do it. Even if
    10:51 you’re too scared to set it up right
    10:53 now, just buy it. The the mere fact that
    10:56 you’re holding it will make you more
    10:57 comfortable with it. And and look, you
    10:59 can set it up and not transfer any
    11:00 Bitcoin to it. You can just set it up
    11:02 and once you see how easy it is, my
    11:04 guess is you’ll say, “Hey, it makes
    11:06 sense.” But look, if there’s some big
    11:08 scare and you need to feel comfortable
    11:11 transferring to your Bitkey, well, at
    11:12 least you got it. Go ahead and buy one.
    11:14 There’s no reason not to. You need a
    11:16 Bitkey, everyone. Link is in the
    11:18 description. Please buy a Bitkey. You
    11:19 won’t regret it. Thanks.

Hackers and scammers are EXTREMELY clever. Please buy yourself a Bitkey (https://bitkey.world) before you somehow get hacked or scammed out of your Bitcoin!
