A NATION'S GREATNESS DEPENDS ON ITS LEADER To vastly improve your country and truly make it great again, start by choosing a better leader. Do not let the media or the establishment make you pick from the people they choose, but instead choose from those they do not pick. Pick a leader from among the people who is heart-driven, one who identifies with the common man on the street and understands what the country needs on every level. Do not pick a leader who is only money-driven and does not understand or identify with the common man, but only what corporations need on every level. Pick a peacemaker. One who unites, not divides. A cultured leader who supports the arts and true freedom of speech, not censorship. Pick a leader who will not only bail out banks and airlines, but also families from losing their homes -- or jobs due to their companies moving to other countries. Pick a leader who will fund schools, not limit spending on education and allow libraries to close. Pick a leader who chooses diplomacy over war. An honest broker in foreign relations. A leader with integrity, one who says what they mean, keeps their word and does not lie to their people. Pick a leader who is strong and confident, yet humble. Intelligent, but not sly. A leader who encourages diversity, not racism. One who understands the needs of the farmer, the teacher, the doctor, and the environmentalist -- not only the banker, the oil tycoon, the weapons developer, or the insurance and pharmaceutical lobbyist. Pick a leader who will keep jobs in your country by offering companies incentives to hire only within their borders, not one who allows corporations to outsource jobs for cheaper labor when there is a national employment crisis. Choose a leader who will invest in building bridges, not walls. Books, not weapons. Morality, not corruption. Intellectualism and wisdom, not ignorance. Stability, not fear and terror. Peace, not chaos. Love, not hate. Convergence, not segregation. Tolerance, not discrimination. Fairness, not hypocrisy. Substance, not superficiality. Character, not immaturity. Transparency, not secrecy. Justice, not lawlessness. Environmental improvement and preservation, not destruction. Truth, not lies. Most importantly, a great leader must serve the best interests of the people first, not those of multinational corporations. Human life should never be sacrificed for monetary profit. There are no exceptions. In addition, a leader should always be open to criticism, not silencing dissent. Any leader who does not tolerate criticism from the public is afraid of their dirty hands to be revealed under heavy light. And such a leader is dangerous, because they only feel secure in the darkness. Only a leader who is free from corruption welcomes scrutiny; for scrutiny allows a good leader to be an even greater leader. And lastly, pick a leader who will make their citizens proud. One who will stir the hearts of the people, so that the sons and daughters of a given nation strive to emulate their leader's greatness. Only then will a nation be truly great, when a leader inspires and produces citizens worthy of becoming future leaders, honorable decision makers and peacemakers. And in these times, a great leader must be extremely brave. Their leadership must be steered only by their conscience, not a bribe.

Both terrorism and insurance sell fear -- and business is business
Liam McCurry (Terminal Policy)
Try the following experiment. Go to the airport and ask travelers en route to some remote destination how much they would pay for an insurance policy paying, say, a million tugrits (the currency of Mongolia) if they died during the trip (for any reason).Then ask another collection of travelers how much they would pay for insurance that pays the same in the event of death from a terrorist act (and only a terrorist act). Guess which one would command a higher price? Odds are that people would rather pay for the second policy (although the former includes death from terrorism). The psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky figured this out several decades ago.
Nassim Nicholas Taleb (Fooled by Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and in the Markets (Incerto, #1))
About the time that I reentered the Bruce family, an event occurred of disastrous import to the colored people. The slave Hamlin, the first fugitive that came under the new law, was given up by the blood-hounds of the north to the bloodhounds of the south. It was the beginning of a reign of terror to the colored population. The great city rushed on its whirl of excitement, taking no note of the "short and simple annals of the Poor." But while fashionables were listening to the thrilling voice of Jenny Lind in Metropolitan Hall, the thrilling voices of poor hunted colored people went up, in an agony of supplication, to the Lord, from Zion's church. Many families, who had lived in the city for twenty years, fled from it now. Many a poor washerwoman, who, by hard labor, had made herself a comfortable home, was obliged to sacrifice her furniture, bid a hurried farewell to friends, and seek her fortune among strangers in Canada. Many a wife discovered a secret she had never known before—that her husband was a fugitive, and must leave her to insure his own safety. Worse still, many a husband discovered that his wife had fled from slavery years ago, and as "the child follows the condition of its mother," the children of his love were liable to be seized and carried into slavery. Every where, in those humble homes, there was consternation and anguish. But what cared the legislators of the "dominant race" for the blood they were crushing out of trampled hearts?

Although Manmohan Singh, the helmsman, got the credit, it was Rao who took the tough and aggressive decisions and provided the energy and political support. He was shrewd and knew how to deal with dissent. The manner in which he pushed through the industrial policy in the cabinet is an example. At the same time, the reforms would not have happened without Manmohan Singh. To the extent that there was one, he created the road map. In a brilliant move, he set up a set of committees—bank reform under Narsimhan, tax reform under Chelliah, and insurance reform under Malhotra—and they provided crucial intellectual sustenance and legitimacy for reform measures in these areas. It needed Manmohan Singh to come and change the nation’s mind-set to growth. But Manmohan Singh is a reticent man and cautious by nature. On his own, without Rao’s constant support, he would not have done it. The new trade policy would not have come about as speedily without Chidambaram. Varma was a terror as the head of the steering committee and he provided the momentum for the implementation of the reforms for two years. He knew the system well, and he played it in favor of the reforms. Varma’s crucial contributions, I believe, have not been understood or appreciated. In the end, all three—Manmohan Singh, Chidambaram, and Varma—derived their strength from Narasimha Rao.
Gurcharan Das (India Unbound)
It will enable each person to realize that he is not a game-playing robot put on this planet to be given a Social Security number and to be spun on the assembly line of school, college, career, insurance, funeral, goodbye. . . . Man is going to have to explore the infinity of inner space, to discover the terror and adventure and ecstasy that lie within us all.
Don Lattin (The Harvard Psychedelic Club: How Timothy Leary, Ram Dass, Huston Smith, and Andrew Weil Killed the Fifties and Ushered in a New Age for America)
So it’s Alice’s fault that I never invested the appropriate time worrying about infertility. I never insured against it by worrying about it. I won’t make that mistake again. Now every day I remember to worry that Ben will die in a car accident on his way to work. I make sure I worry at regular intervals about Alice’s children—ticking off every terrible childhood disease: meningitis, leukemia. Before I go to sleep at night I worry that someone I love will die in the night. Every morning I worry that somebody I know will be killed in a terrorist attack that day. That means the terrorists have won, Ben tells me. He doesn’t understand that I’m fighting off the terrorists by worrying about them. It’s my own personal War on Terror. That
Liane Moriarty (What Alice Forgot)
The flight insurance example highlights another psychological phenomenon that is important to understanding how fear influences our thinking: “probability neglect.” Social scientists have found that when confronted with either an enormous threat or a huge reward, people tend to focus on the magnitude of the consequence and ignore the probability. Consider how the Bush administration has used some of the techniques identified by Professor Glassner. Repeating the same threat over and over again, misdirecting attention (from al-Qaeda to Saddam Hussein), and using vivid imagery (a “mushroom cloud over an American city”). September 11 had a profound impact on all of us. But after initially responding in an entirely appropriate way, the administration began to heighten and distort public fear of terrorism to create a political case for attacking Iraq. Despite the absence of proof, Iraq was said to be working hand in hand with al-Qaeda and to be on the verge of a nuclear weapons capability. Defeating Saddam was conflated with bringing war to the terrorists, even though it really meant diverting attention and resources from those who actually attacked us.
Al Gore (The Assault on Reason)
The two most common tactics for evading the terror of solitude are both singularly ineffective. The first is denigrating those who do not fear it, especially if they claim to enjoy it, and stereotyping them as ‘miserable’, ‘selfish’, ‘crazy’ or ‘perverse’ (sad, mad and bad). The second is infinitely extending our social contacts as a sort of insurance policy, which social media makes increasingly possible. The first is ineffective because of the risk that a whole range of circumstances may force someone into solitude involuntarily. Should this happen, the fear-and-projection strategy will turn round and bite back: you will be the sad, mad, bad person, and this can only make a difficult situation very much worse. Additionally, since – as you will see – there is a good deal of evidence that none of these worries are actually true, people pursuing this route will be obliged to cut themselves off from many ways of knowing about the actual world in which they are living. This itself may well prove isolating: one of the problems with projected fears is that they do tend to make the scary thing or event more likely, rather than less likely, to occur.
Sara Maitland (How to Be Alone (The School of Life))
In America’s meatpacking plants, two amputations occur each week: A band saw lops off someone’s finger or hand. Pickers in Amazon warehouses have access to vending machines dispensing free Advil and Tylenol. Slum housing spreads asthma, its mold and cockroach allergens seeping into young lungs and airways, and it poisons children with lead, causing irreversible damage to their tiny central nervous systems and brains. Poverty is the cancer that forms in the cells of those who live near petrochemical plants and waste incinerators. Roughly one in four children living in poverty have untreated cavities, which can morph into tooth decay, causing sharp pain and spreading infection to their faces and even brains. With public insurance reimbursing only a fraction of dental care costs, many families simply cannot afford regular trips to the dentist. Thirty million Americans remain completely uninsured a decade after the passage of the Affordable Care Act.[4] Poverty is the colostomy bag and wheelchair, the night terrors and bullets that maimed but didn’t finish their cunning work. In
Matthew Desmond (Poverty, by America)
It’s getting-up time,” Alessandro declares. “Today is the day.” “What day?” “The release date.” “What are we talking about?” “Daa-add. The new XBOX game. Hunting Old Sammie.” Armand opens his eyes. He looks at his son looking at him. The boy’s eyes are only inches away. “You’re kidding.” “It’s the newest best game. You hunt down terrorists and kill them.” Lifting his voice, “‘Deploy teams of Black Berets into the ancient mountains of Tora Bora. Track implacable terrorists to their cavernous lairs. Rain withering fire down on the homicidal masterminds who planned the horror of September eleven, two-thousand-and-one.’” The kid’s memory is canny. Armand lifts Alex off his chest and sits up. “Who invented it?” “I’m telling you, dad. It’s an XBOX game.” “We can get it today?” “No,” Leah says. “Absolutely not. The last thing he needs is another violent video game.” “Mahhuum!” “How bad can it be?” says Armand. “How would you know? A minute ago you hadn’t heard of it.” “And you had?” “I saw a promo. Helicopter gunships with giant machine guns. Soldiers with flamethrowers, turning bearded men into candles.” “Sounds great.” “Armand, really. How old are you?” “I don’t see what my age has to do with it.” “Dad, it’s totally cool. ‘Uncover mountain strongholds with thermal imaging technology. Call in air-strikes by F-16s. Destroy terrorist cells with laser weaponry. Wage pitched battles against mujahideen. Capture bin Laden alive or kill him on the spot. March down Fifth Avenue with jihadists’ heads on pikes. Make the world safe for democracy.’” Safe for Dick Cheney’s profits, Armand thinks, knowing all about it from his former life, but says nothing. It’s pretty much impossible to explain the complexity of how things work within the greater systemic dysfunction. Instead, he asks the one question that matters. “How much does it cost?” Alessandro’s mouth minces sideways. He holds up fingers, then realizes he needs more than two hands. Armand can see the kid doesn’t want to say. “C’mon. ’Fess up.” Alex sighs. “A one with two zeros.” “One hundred dollars.” Alex’s eyes slide away. Rapid nods, face averted. “Yeah.” “For a video game, Alex.” “Yhep.” “No way.” “Daa-add! It’s the greatest game ever!” The boy is beginning to whine. “Don’t whine,” Armand tells him. “On TV it’s awesome. The army guys are flaming a cave and when the terror guys try to escape, they shoot them.” “Neat.” “Their turbans are on fire.” “Even better.” “Armand,” Leah says. “Dad,” says Alessandro. He will not admit it but Armand is hooked. It would be deeply satisfying in the second-most intimate way imaginable to kill al Qaida terrorists holed up along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border—something the actual U.S. military cannot or will not completely do. But a hundred bucks. It isn’t really the money, although living on interest income Armand has become more frugal. He can boost the C-note but what message would it send? Hunting virtual terrorists in cyberspace is all well and good. But plunking down $100 for a toy seems irresponsible and possibly wrong in a country where tens of thousands are homeless and millions have no health insurance and children continue, incredibly, to go hungry. Fifty million Americans live in poverty and he’s looking to play games.
John Lauricella (Hunting Old Sammie)
Nathanael hadn’t delivered any specific message; the angel’s parting words, which had boomed out across the entire visitation site, were the typical Behold the power of the Lord. Of the eight casualties that day, three souls were accepted into Heaven and five were not, a closer ratio than the average for deaths by all causes. Sixty-two people received medical treatment for injuries ranging from slight concussions to ruptured eardrums to burns requiring skin grafts. Total property damage was estimated at $8.1 million, all of it excluded by private insurance companies due to the cause. Scores of people became devout worshipers in the wake of the visitation, either out of gratitude or terror. Alas,
Ted Chiang (Arrival)
It is well documented that humans are especially fearful of threats than can be easily pictured or imagined. For example, one study found that people are willing to spend significantly more for flight insurance that covers "death from 'terrorist acts'" than for flight insurance that covers "death from 'all possible causes'". Now, logically, flight insurance for death by any cause would cover terrorism in addition to a number of other potential problems. But something about the buzzword "terrorism" created a vivid impression that generates excessive fear. The flight insurance example highlights another psychological phenomenon that is important to understanding how fear influences our thinking: "probability neglect". Social scientists have found that when confronted with either an enormous threat or a huge reward, people tend to focus on the magnitude of the consequence and ignore probability.
Al Gore (The Assault on Reason)
Terrorism is effective because it imposes costs on everyone, not just its direct victims. The most substantial of these indirect costs is fear of a future attack, even though such fear is grossly misplaced. The probability that an average American will die in a given year from a terrorist attack is roughly 1 in 5 million; he is 575 times more likely to commit suicide.

First, A ship of the finest make and model available shall be furnished to carry the constructors home. 2nd, The said ship shall be laden with various cargo as here specified: diamonds—four bushels, gold coin—forty bushels, platinum, palladium, and whatever other ready valuables they happen to think of—eight bushels of each, also whatever mementos and tokens from the Royal Apartments the signatories of this instrument may deem appropriate. 3rd, Until such time as the said ship shall be in readiness for takeoff, every nut and bolt in place, fully loaded and delivered up to the constructors complete with red carpet, an eighty-piece send-off band and children's chorus, an abundance of honors, decorations and awards, and a wildly cheering crowd—until then, no King. 4th, That a formal expression of undying gratitude shall be stamped upon a gold medallion and addressed to Their Most Sublime and Radiant Constructors Trurl and Klapaucius, Delight and Terror of the Universe, and moreover it shall contain a full account of their victory and be duly signed and notarized by every high and low official in the land, then set in the richly embellished barrel of the King's favorite cannon, which Lord Protozor, Master of the Royal Hunt, shall himself and wholly unaided carry on board—no other Protozor but the one who lured Their Most Sublime and Radiant Constructors to this planet thinking to work their painful and ignominious death thereby. 5th, That the aforesaid Protozor shall accompany them on their return journey as insurance against any sort of double-dealing, pursuit, and the like. On board he shall occupy a cage three by three by four feet and shall receive a a daily allowance of humble pie with a filling made of that very same sawdust which Their Most Sublime and Radiant Constructors saw fit to order in the process of indulging the King's foolishness and which was subsequently taken to police headquarters by unmarked balloon. 6th and lastly, The King need not crave forgiveness of Their Most Sublime and Radiant Constructors on bended knee, since he is much too beneath them to deserve notice.
Stanisław Lem (The Cyberiad)
According to the Pew study, our collective list of concerns goes like this: the economy, jobs, terrorism, Social Security, education, energy, Medicare, health care, deficit reduction, health insurance, helping the poor, crime, moral decline, the military, tax cuts, environment, immigration lobbyists, trade policy, and global warming, in that order.
Heidi Cullen (The Weather of the Future: Heat Waves, Extreme Storms, and Other Scenes from a Climate-Changed Planet)
A few weeks ago UPS sent a letter to 15,000 employees and it said: We are terminating spousal health insurance because of ObamaCare. Their husbands and wives were told: Sorry, your health insurance is gone. Remember, the promise was: If you like your health insurance, you can keep it. For those 15,000 UPS employees--for their husbands and wives--that promise has been disproved by reality. This body would step up and stop ObamaCare if we did just one thing: if we listened to our constituents. So together that is what we have to do: Make DC listen.   A

We all remember when President Obama told the American people: If you like your health insurance, you can keep it. Now at the time that sounded good. Any of us who liked our health insurance wanted to keep it. We liked that promise. That is the kind of promise we like from our candidates and our officeholders.   Yet as I mentioned earlier, one of the great faculties of higher reason is the ability to learn--the ability to learn from evidence and facts. We have learned that promise did not, in fact, meet reality because the reality is millions of Americans are at risk of losing their health insurance.   A
Ted Cruz (TED CRUZ: FOR GOD AND COUNTRY: Ted Cruz on ISIS, ISIL, Terrorism, Immigration, Obamacare, Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Republicans,)
If we focus on the substance, the evidence is overwhelming. This law is a train wreck. Every day the headlines come in: more jobs lost, more people losing their health insurance, more premiums going up, more people pushed into part-time work. Yet every day the Senate goes about its business and says: We are too busy to listen to the American people.   There
Ted Cruz (TED CRUZ: FOR GOD AND COUNTRY: Ted Cruz on ISIS, ISIL, Terrorism, Immigration, Obamacare, Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Republicans,)
A small business owner from Port Clinton, OH, wrote, on September 19, 2013:   I strongly urge you to stand up for the middle class and small business and vote to DEFUND ObamaCare. As a small business owner, we have always offered health insurance. After meeting with our health insurance representative, we learned that the lowest coverage level of ObamaCare offered is estimated to be about $400 a person, twice what we pay now for excellent coverage. . . .  With big business and government being exempted from this policy, again the SMALL BUSINESS OWNER and individual are left with all the costs for everyone else. This could well end up closing our business and then there will be 15 more individuals collecting from the government.   A

everyone, including the city officials, seemed to be taking direction from Bakhtiyor. Who needs breakdown insurance when you have human rights activists? I was whisked through to the restaurant, where we had a very good meal indeed, with French wine and real whisky. I was amazed. Dima was still considerably shaken and a bit tearful.
Craig Murray (Murder in Samarkand: A British Ambassador's Controversial Defiance of Tyranny in the War on Terror)
When ObamaCare was being passed, Senator Chuck Grassley--a towering giant in this body; a strong, principled conservative--introduced a commonsense provision to ObamaCare that said: If you are going to force ObamaCare on the American people, if you are going to create these health insurance exchanges and you are going to force millions of people into these exchanges, then Congress should not operate by better rules than the American people. So he introduced a simple amendment designed to treat Members of Congress just like the American people so that we didn't have this two-class system.   It has been reported--I was not serving in this body at the time--that amendment was voted on and accepted because Democratic Senators believed the bill would go to conference and in the conference committee they could strip it out and it would magically disappear. But then, because of the procedural games it took to pass it, they didn't have the opportunity to do that, and suddenly, horror of all horrors, this bill saying Congress should be bound by the same rules as the American people became the law of the land.   So what happened? Majority leader Harry Reid and Democratic Senators had a closed-door meeting with the President here in the Capitol where they said, according to public news reports: Let us out of ObamaCare. We don't want to be in these exchanges.   One would assume they are reading the same news reports the rest of us are reading--that ObamaCare is a train wreck, that it is not working--and the last thing Members of Congress wanted to do was to have their health care jeopardized. And the President directed his administration to exempt Members of Congress and their staff, ignoring the language of the statute, disregarding the language of the statute and saying: You guys are friends of the administration. We are taking care of you.   I
Ted Cruz (TED CRUZ: FOR GOD AND COUNTRY: Ted Cruz on ISIS, ISIL, Terrorism, Immigration, Obamacare, Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Republicans,)
Now, we have all heard the saying ``politics ain't beanbag,'' but the nastiness with which the Democratic majority responded to Senator Vitter for daring to say that the Washington ruling class should be subject to the same rules as the rest of America was extraordinary even for Washington, DC. In fact, I would note that the majority leader and the junior Senator from California, as I understand from public news reports, proposed a  response to the Vitter amendment that said any Senator who votes for the Vitter amendment--regardless of whether it passes but simply if you cast a vote in favor of it--he or she will lose their health insurance.   I
Ted Cruz (TED CRUZ: FOR GOD AND COUNTRY: Ted Cruz on ISIS, ISIL, Terrorism, Immigration, Obamacare, Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Republicans,)
Are millions of Americans out of work? Yes. Are millions of Americans struggling? Yes. Are millions of Americans seeing their health insurance premiums skyrocket? Yes. Are millions of Americans at risk of losing their health insurance because of ObamaCare? Yes.   But Washington tells our constituents: No, no, never mind. It can't be done. It cannot be done. It is impossible. The rules of Washington say this cannot be done.   And we wonder why this body has such low approval among the people. When we go out and tell the American people it cannot be done, there is nothing that can be done to stop ObamaCare, what we are saying is we are not willing to do it. We are not willing to stand and fight.   We
Ted Cruz (TED CRUZ: FOR GOD AND COUNTRY: Ted Cruz on ISIS, ISIL, Terrorism, Immigration, Obamacare, Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Republicans,)
If your dream is to open your own business one day and to grow it, ObamaCare will hurt you. It is going to make it harder for you to be able to do that. If your dream is to do what my parents did, which is to work a job so your kids could one day have a career, ObamaCare is hurting you too. It could cost you the insurance you have now that you are happy with. It could cost you hours out of your paycheck. It could cost you your very job.   What
Ted Cruz (TED CRUZ: FOR GOD AND COUNTRY: Ted Cruz on ISIS, ISIL, Terrorism, Immigration, Obamacare, Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Republicans,)
We remember when President Obama was defending the ObamaCare bill. He promised the American people that as a result of ObamaCare, the averagefamily's health insurance premium would drop $2,500. He said: That is going to happen by the end of my first term. I would point out that the President's first term ended 9 months ago, and by the end of the President's first term, that promise was proven not just a little off the mark, not just kind of sort of a little bit not entirely accurate; it was proven 100 percent, categorically, objectively false.   Let

. . . in the constant conflict between loyalty and service to policyholders versus loyalty and service to stockholders, the stockholders would emerge victorious every single time . . . He could not understand, though, how elected officials could take pro-insurance stances against the citizens who elected them. Carriers don’t vote, dammit; people do!
Mark M. Bello (Betrayal In Blue (Zachary Blake Legal Thriller, #3))
Promulgators of TMT [Terror Management Theory] believe that a universal dispersion of their ideas will make people more tolerant of the alien worldviews of others and not kill them because those worldviews remind them of how ephemeral or unfounded their own may be. The paradox of this belief is that it requires everyone to abandon the very techniques of terror management by which TMT claims we have so far managed our terror, or some of it. As usual, though, there is an upbeat way out for Terror Management theorists in that they argue "the best worldviews are ones that value tolerance of different others, that are flexible and open to modification, and that offer paths to self esteem minimally likely to encourage hurting others". Of course, this is just another worldview that brandishes itself as the best worldview in the world, meaning that it would agitate others with a sense of how ephemeral or unfounded their own may be and cause them to retaliate. But Terror Management theorists also have a backup plan, which is that in the future we will not need terror management and instead will discover that "serious confrontations with mortality can have positive liberating effects, facilitating real growth and life satisfaction". There is no arguing that humanity may someday reap the benefits of a serious confrontation with mortality. While waiting for that day, we still have genocide as the ultimate insurance of our worldviews.

Is Coinbase Canada secure?(leading ) For Canadians entering the cryptocurrency market, security is one of the most pressing concerns when choosing a trading platform, raising the fundamental question—Is Coinbase Canada secure (1-833-611-5002). Coinbase is one of the most widely used and trusted digital asset exchanges globally, and its security practices are extended to Canadian users through regulatory compliance, technological safeguards, and strong transparency measures (1-833-611-5002). Evaluating Coinbase’s security in Canada requires a close look at its storage methods, insurance policies, fraud prevention features, and overall regulatory standing (1-833-611-5002). Global Reputation and Canadian Relevance Coinbase has established itself internationally as a publicly traded company listed on the NASDAQ in the United States, ensuring a higher level of transparency than most crypto exchanges worldwide (1-833-611-5002). Its international credibility applies to the Canadian marketplace because the same technological infrastructure, security standards, and compliance obligations are used universally (1-833-611-5002). This global reputation gives Canadian investors confidence that they are dealing with a pioneer known for upholding secure business practices (1-833-611-5002). Regulatory Compliance in Canada Coinbase’s security in Canada is reinforced by its registration with FINTRAC—the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada—as a Money Services Business (1-833-611-5002). This ensures Coinbase follows strict anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing requirements while applying Know Your Customer (KYC) verification processes for all Canadian users (1-833-611-5002). By meeting these standards, Coinbase confirms it operates legally while protecting Canadian investors with compliance-level accountability (1-833-611-5002). Cold Storage and Asset Protection A hallmark of Coinbase’s security system is that the majority of customer funds are held in cold storage, meaning they are stored offline and inaccessible to hackers (1-833-611-5002). For Canadians, this means their digital assets are significantly shielded from common cyber threats like malware, phishing, and exchange breaches (1-833-611-5002). Only a small portion of user balances are retained online in hot wallets for liquidity, reducing risk exposure on a systemic level (1-833-611-5002). Hot Wallet Insurance Coverage To further reinforce trust, Coinbase maintains private commercial insurance policies to cover customer funds stored in hot wallets in the event of a security breach of Coinbase infrastructure (1-833-611-5002). This insurance does not extend to user mistakes such as giving away login information or approving fraudulent transactions, but it offers institutional reassurance for Canadians concerned about potential exchange-level security failures (1-833-611-5002). Multi-Factor Authentication Canadian users benefit from Coinbase’s requirement of two-factor authentication (2FA) to log in or confirm sensitive actions like withdrawals (1-833-611-5002). Two-factor authentication significantly reduces unauthorized access even if a password is compromised because the attacker would also need access to the user’s secondary device or authenticator code (1-833-611-5002). The platform encourages using authenticator apps over SMS for stronger protection, aligning with global best practices (1-833-611-5002). Biometric Logins on Mobile For Canadian users who prefer the Coinbase mobile app, the company supports fingerprint and facial recognition logins for enhanced security (1-833-611-5002). This biometric safeguard means that even if a phone is lost, access to the Coinbase account is blocked without the rightful user’s physical authentication (1-833-611-5002). These features combine convenience with premium security layers, reassuring Canadians mobile access does not compromise safety (1-833-611-5002).

Is Coinbase Canada secure? (Canada ) For Canadians who want to explore cryptocurrency markets, security is one of the most decisive factors in choosing an exchange, and Coinbase often comes up in these discussions as a potential solution (1-833-611-5002). With international recognition and Canadian-specific regulation, Coinbase has built a strong reputation, but users in Canada still want to know whether Coinbase is genuinely secure and trustworthy for their funds (1-833-611-5002). Evaluating this requires looking at its security architecture, regulations, insurance, user protections, and how these elements compare to Canadian industry standards (1-833-611-5002). Global Reputation with Local Relevance Coinbase is among the most recognized cryptocurrency exchanges worldwide, listed on NASDAQ and serving millions of users effectively (1-833-611-5002). Its global reputation for security extends to Canadian users, who benefit from Coinbase’s same protocols that protect customers in the United States, Europe, and other regions (1-833-611-5002). The company’s decision to operate legally in Canada demonstrates its intent to apply the same security measures to protect Canadian funds as well (1-833-611-5002). Compliance with Canadian Regulations Coinbase is registered with FINTRAC, the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada, which ensures adherence to anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing standards (1-833-611-5002). Registration ensures full legal recognition within Canada, requiring Coinbase to uphold strict protocols that protect Canadian investors from fraud and misuse (1-833-611-5002). This integration into Canada’s compliance framework is a positive sign that Coinbase prioritizes security not only at the technological level but also at the regulatory one (1-833-611-5002). Institutional-Grade Security One of the strongest arguments in favour of Coinbase security is its institutional-grade protections, including advanced encryption, biometric log-ins, and the segregation of hot versus cold wallets (1-833-611-5002). The majority of funds on Coinbase are stored in cold wallets, offline and out of reach of hackers, while only a small proportion is kept in hot wallets for liquidity (1-833-611-5002). This layered approach helps Canadians have confidence that their digital assets are less vulnerable to attacks (1-833-611-5002). Insurance Protection Coinbase offers commercial insurance that protects custodial holdings in the event of breaches to its security systems, giving Canadian users an added level of confidence when depositing assets (1-833-611-5002). While this insurance does not protect against personal errors like losing passwords or falling for phishing scams, it still acts as a significant safeguard for systemic breaches (1-833-611-5002). Knowing there is this insurance available sets Coinbase apart from less-regulated international platforms (1-833-611-5002). User-Side Security Features Coinbase balances its own defenses with user-centered tools that Canadians can use to better protect their accounts (1-833-611-5002). Two-factor authentication adds a strong extra step for access, along with withdrawal address whitelists and optional biometric verification on the mobile app (1-833-611-5002). These features empower Canadian investors to take ownership of their security while relying on Coinbase’s broader protections (1-833-611-5002). Protection Against Phishing and Fraud Security for Canadians using Coinbase goes beyond technology since phishing attacks and fraudulent websites are a serious concern (1-833-611-5002). Coinbase invests heavily in user education campaigns to help Canadians identify scam attempts and avoid revealing recovery phrases or personal information to impostors (1-833-611-5002). These efforts demonstrate that Coinbase’s security approach also includes awareness, prevention, and timely alerts (1-833-611-5002).

The appeal is obvious: skip lengthy verification, deposit funds, and trade immediately. But what seems convenient is extremely risky. Verified accounts are designed to protect users, ensure regulatory compliance, and secure funds. Purchasing an account from an unknown source exposes you to financial, legal, and personal risks that far outweigh any temporary benefit. In this article, we explore the hidden dangers of buying accounts, the legal and financial consequences, safe verification methods, and alternatives for faster or private trading. Hidden Risks of Purchased Accounts When you buy a pre-verified account, you inherit all the problems that come with it—most of which you cannot see. The original owner may still have access, or the account may have been involved in fraudulent activities, money laundering, or other illicit operations. Many sellers use stolen IDs, temporary phone numbers, or recycled email addresses to create accounts that appear verified. These accounts are fragile. Phone numbers can stop working, email accounts can be deactivated, and identity verification may not match the current user. If Binance detects unusual login patterns, multiple locations, or signs of account resale, it may freeze the account immediately. You could lose access to all funds with no way to prove ownership. Even accounts advertised as “clean” carry risk. Buyers often report losing access to purchased accounts without any support from the platform. In short, any convenience is outweighed by the hidden dangers that come with using someone else’s identity or credentials. Real-World Examples In 2022, several users who purchased accounts from unofficial sellers found their funds frozen within days. One user reported losing over $3,000 because the seller’s documents were linked to fraudulent activity. These cases highlight how quickly a seemingly safe purchase can turn into a financial disaster. Legal and Financial Consequences Using a pre-verified account violates Binance’s terms of service and can break local or international laws. Exchanges implement Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations to prevent fraud, terrorism financing, and other illegal activities. When you use an account verified under someone else’s identity, you are bypassing these safeguards. Consequences can be severe: Frozen funds: Exchanges routinely freeze accounts flagged for suspicious activity. Account bans: Accounts purchased from third parties are often permanently closed. Legal scrutiny: Authorities may investigate users linked to illicit activity, even unknowingly. Financial loss: Insurance or fraud protections rarely cover accounts that violate terms of service. Many buyers assume sellers take responsibility if an account is flagged—but in reality, once an account is sold, the seller usually disappears. You are fully liable for any problems that arise. Regulatory Oversight Cryptocurrency regulators worldwide increasingly cooperate to track suspicious accounts. Using an account not registered in your name can flag multiple institutions, including banks and tax authorities. This increases the likelihood of investigations and prolonged financial complications. How to Verify Safely and Quickly The fastest and safest way to trade on Binance is to create your own account and complete verification yourself. Here’s how to do it efficiently: Use your own documents: Submit government-issued ID, proof of address, and a personal selfie. Never use third-party verification.

Buying a verified Binance account from a third-party seller may look like an easy way to start trading instantly. Names like “usukpvaseller” may appear online promising instant access and pre-verified accounts, but this convenience comes at a steep price. Verified accounts exist to protect users, ensure compliance with regulations, and secure funds. Skipping this process by purchasing someone else’s account exposes you to risks that can be financial, legal, and personal. The minutes saved by buying an account can easily turn into months—or years—of trouble. The Hidden Risks of Purchased Accounts Buying a pre-verified account might seem harmless, but there are risks that are invisible at first glance. Unknown Ownership When you take control of an account verified by someone else, you inherit their history. The original owner may still have access or could reclaim the account later. Many sellers use stolen identification, temporary phone numbers, or recycled email addresses to create accounts that appear verified. Connection to Fraud or Illicit Activity Accounts sold online can carry a history of fraud, chargebacks, or even money laundering. Exchanges like Binance use sophisticated systems to detect irregularities, such as multiple IP logins or unusual transaction patterns. If detected, the account can be frozen or permanently banned, leaving your funds inaccessible. Recovery Challenges Many sold accounts are tied to virtual emails or phone numbers that expire or stop working. When this happens, account recovery becomes nearly impossible. Without legitimate proof of ownership, you may permanently lose access to your funds. Real-World Example: In 2021, several buyers lost thousands of dollars after purchasing accounts online. Binance froze the accounts due to suspicious activity, and buyers could not reclaim their funds because the accounts were not registered under their names. Legal and Financial Consequences Using a purchased account is not just risky—it can also be illegal. Exchanges comply with KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) regulations to prevent fraud, terrorism financing, and other illicit activities. Account Freezes and Bans Accounts bought from third parties are frequently frozen or banned. Even if funds are deposited, you may be unable to withdraw them. Once an account is permanently banned, recovering funds is nearly impossible. Regulatory Scrutiny Authorities worldwide increasingly monitor suspicious cryptocurrency activity. Using an account verified with someone else’s identity can trigger investigations, fines, or even criminal charges in certain jurisdictions. Even unintentional misuse can have serious consequences. Case Study: In 2022, multiple users in Europe faced fines and investigations for using accounts verified with stolen or fake IDs. Although buyers had no prior knowledge of fraudulent activity, they were still subjected to regulatory scrutiny. Financial Loss Most sellers do not provide refunds or compensation. Additionally, personal information shared with third-party sellers may be sold or misused, leading to identity theft or phishing attempts. Insurance and fraud protections rarely cover accounts that violate platform rules.
