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.
