The tinfoil hat / OCD guide to withdrawals from Coinbase Pro to Trezor via Electrum

Had occasion to do a small, but non-trivial withdraw from Coinbase Pro to Trezor via Electrum. Since the "How do I withdraw" question is asked almost daily, I went ahead and documented my (OCD) steps. If you wanted to, you could reduce the steps to probably less than 5, but this covers most situations. I suppose you could start adding a faraday cage if you wanted to dial it up to eleven.

  1. Pair your Trezor to a GPG verified up-to-date copy of Electrum
  2. In Electrum create a receive request
  3. In your notebook, write the first 6 and last 6 characters of the address
  4. Click the eyeball icon to show this address on your Trezor
  5. Verify the first 6 and last 6 from your notebook on the Trezor LCD
  6. Click the copy icon in Electrum to move the address to the clipboard
  7. On the address tab, click CTRL-F to start a search and paste the address
  8. Enable "show details" for the address with a right-click
  9. From details box, copy the Address, Pubkey, and derivation to notepad
  10. Verify the first 6 and last 6 from your notebook with what was pasted in notepad
  11. Log into Coinbase Pro and generate a BTC (only) statement for a current time period
  12. Log into your email and find the last "available balance increase" msg from CB
  13. Review your statement and write down what the BTC balance was 24 hrs before the msg
  14. Go to CB Pro address book and add the address recorded in notepad
  15. Verify the first 6 and last 6 from your notebook with what was just done
  16. Begin a BTC withdraw from Coinbase Pro
  17. Use the entry you made in your CB Pro address book for the withdraw
  18. The address may truncate, right click on it and select "inspect" to view the HTML
  19. In the raw HTML you should see the untruncated address.
  20. Verify the first 6 and last 6 from your notebook with the address in HTML
  21. Use the amount you recorded earlier from your statement. Round down for fees.
  22. Copy the suggested fee into notepad with your other records
  23. Calculate the amount of fees suggested and deliberate if this is what you want.
  24. Begin the withdraw to advance to the confirmation screen
  25. In the confirmation screen ensure that the "Total" is less than the amt recorded earlier
  26. Verify the amount is what you requested
  27. Verify the first 6 and last 6 from your notebook with the address in the confirmation
  28. Verify the fee is what was suggested previously
  29. Accept the confirmation to commit the withdraw
  30. Get a beer an wait for a while
  31. Check electrum to see if any TXNs have started for your wallet
  32. If no network activity is registered on that address check the CB records
  33. From "Portfolio" click "Withdraws"
  34. Check to see if your withdraw is in the withdraw log
  35. If it is, click the withdraw to get specifics
  36. If it is not check your email and SMS for alerts
  37. If your balance is reduced but your withdraw is absent, open a ticket

Not ready to go public? That’s the perfect time to think about going public

Image
The disastrous failure of WeWork’s non-IPO provided not just a dramatic crash-and-burn spectacle, but also a valuable cautionary tale about how not to do an IPO.  Even if your company is not ready to go public at the moment, if there may be an IPO in your future, things go more smoothly for companies that begin the work well in advance.  As a financial manager who consults for public and soon-to-be-public companies, I’ve worked with organizations traveling along a well-planned path, and those with an IPO date looming and management panicking. Here’s what I’ve learned in the process.  Have a business plan that demonstrates a path to profitability The first tech boom clearly demonstrated the folly of having an IPO with nothing more than “a good idea.”  Now, especially after several high-profile IPO failures, investor sentiment has swung to favor companies that demonstrate a solid growth history and a clear path to profitability.

Uber & Robinhood Angel Investor: 99% of Crypto Projects Are Garbage

Image
In 2017 and 2018, thousands of entrepreneurs were attempting to launch their own crypto project to capitalize on the bubble-like conditions. Due to the mania, there are now over 5,000 digital assets listed on CoinMarketCap — and there are likely thousands of others that failed to make the cut. Unsurprisingly, not everyone is convinced that all players in such a saturated market have value. One prominent venture capitalist, in fact, went as far as to say that 99% of crypto projects are simply “garbage.” Related Reading: DeFi Effect: Scaling Debate Begins as Ethereum Fees Reach Two-Year Highs Most Crypto Projects Are “Garbage”  Jason Calacanis is a prominent entrepreneur, author, and angel investor. If you’ve heard of him, it’s likely because of his angel investments in Robinhood, Uber, and Trello. He’s also interested in the crypto space. In 2019, he was bearish, postulating that Bitcoin could fall to $500. Yet, the investor has recently begun to change his mind, telling Morgan
