NBTV: Your Money, Your Data, Your Life

Credit cards are a notoriously insecure means of payment and credit card fraud is one of the most common types of identity theft in the US. We give out our credit card number constantly without even thinking about it, and with it our name and home address. Enter Virtual Credit Cards: they're like a VPN for your credit card. No more revealing private information to every stranger from whom you want to make a purchase. No more handing out the keys to the kingdom that allow anyone to draw money from your account.Crypto is my preferred means of payment because you retain sovereignty over your money, you can have much better financial privacy, and you can save a bunch of money if you use services like Purse.io, Bitrefill, and Dash Direct.BUT...Some people are not yet ready to take the plunge completely into crypto. So if you enjoy the world of recurring payments and credit card purchases but are looking for a more private option, VIRTUAL credit cards may be for you!In this video, Josh Summers from “All Things Secured” explains how virtual credit cards work and why they're great for giving back some privacy and control over your money.00:00 - Intro 00:55 - What are Virtual Credit Cards01:18 - Increased Privacy02:22 - Prevent Credit Card Fraud04:53 - Manage Subscriptions05:49 - CaveatsYou can check out Josh's channel here for more awesome tips on privacy!

More and more people are waking up to why financial privacy is so important, and just how invasive the traditional banking system is.Many cryptocurrencies, even though they give you back control over your money, are actually pretty bad for privacy, and can expose your full transaction history and holdings to everyone.That’s where Privacy coins come in.This is the first of many videos exploring various privacy coins and how they can bring anonymity back into your life -- We’re starting with Zcash00:00 - Intro to privacy coins02:10 - Zero Knowledge Proofs02:45 - Fungibility05:00 - Shielded vs Unshielded transactions07:30 - Transaction Fees07:37 - Unified Addresses08:38 - Halo 209:00 - Migration09:50 - Scaling10:33 - Recommended productsA special THANK YOU to Nathan Wilcox for chatting with us about Zcash!NBTV team behind this video: Lee Rennie, Will Sandoval, Sarah Kordyban, and Naomi BrockwellTo make a tax-deductible (in the US) donation to NBTV, visit https://www.nbtv.media/supportSign up for the free cryptobeat newsletter here:https://cryptobeat.substack.com/Beware of scammers, I will never give you a phone number or reach out to you with investment advice.

Search engines completely revolutionized how we access the web. If you want to find a website, you can type in keywords and search engines will show you a list of websites that match your criteria.  But your searches can reveal a lot of private information about you: your interests, location, medical conditions, political affiliation. Google has 90% of the market share for searches, and they track everything you do. This gives them a deep, granular insight into who you are, and this is information that they sell. Search engines are also an effective tool for controlling what information people have access to, and there are many studies that look at how search engines influence the behavior of users by filtering out some search results and prioritizing others.Luckily there are many ways you can protect your privacy and take back control over your quests for information. Sometimes you sacrifice the quality of your search results by doing this, but other times you’d be surprised at how good alternative results are. We look at the following privacy-focused browsers:00:00 - What is a search engine?5:00 - DuckDuckGo6:56 - MetaGer8:00 - SearX9:15 - Qwant10:17 - StartPage11:57 - Mojeek13:01 - YaCy14:24 - Brave Search Always assess your personal risk and threat-level when choosing a search engine, and remember that taking small steps to minimize your internet footprint can go a long way in protecting your privacy!Edited by Lee RennieWritten by Reuben Yap, Will Sandoval, and Naomi BrockwellTech advisor: Reuben YapWatch this video on LBRY: https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/The-Most-PRIVATE-Search-Engine:a?r=65CZ4khtLVosPYvDbjTstVZydgm3NDF8To make a tax-deductible (in the US) donation to my channel, visit https://cointr.ee/nbtvSign up for the free cryptobeat newsletter here:https://cryptobeat.substack.com/Beware of scammers, I will never give you a phone number or reach out to you with investment advice.

Now that you've gotten into crypto, what do you DO with your crypto? Many people are building their savings in cryptocurrencies that can't be debased, in preparation for potential future economic upheaval.But there are some who argue that this day of upheaval is already here:- We have a financial system where you have to ask permission to use your own money, and payments can be blocked - Where every time you swipe your card your purchases are tracked & monitored. - Where any savings that you do leave in fiat in your bank account are losing value fast. So for this reason, more and more people are choosing not to have any money in fiat at all. They convert all their savings to crypto, and then live entirely off that crypto.As part of my beginner’s guide to using crypto everyday, I spent a day with Joël Valenzuela to find out how he lives 100% on crypto:How does he buy groceries?

Snowden once tweeted:"I wouldn't use WiFi at home, because global maps of every wireless access point's unique ID—including yours—are free and constantly updated. I would use ethernet; yes, ethernet on a phone."A while ago I made a video that explained why you should never turn your phone into a hotspot, and why wifi is less secure than a wired ethernet connection. It was shocking to me how much data we're sending out via radio-waves without realizing.The video went viral with over a MILLION views! And there have been so many FANTASTIC questions and comments that I felt it warranted a follow up response video. This new video also updates, clarifies and corrects some information that was not 100% explained the first time around.Watch the first video here: https://youtu.be/KXEe2kqiYIMWatch this video on LBRY: https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Snowden-says-dont-use-wifi-RESPONSE-VIDEO:e?r=65CZ4khtLVosPYvDbjTstVZydgm3NDF8Map site referenced: Wigle.netGreat article: https://osintcurio.us/2019/01/15/tracking-all-the-wifi-things/Huge thank you to Andy for his help with the research for this video!Edited by Lee RennieTo make a tax-deductible (in the US) donation to my channel, visit https://cointr.ee/nbtvSign up for the free cryptobeat newsletter here:https://Naomibrockwell.com/cryptobeatBeware of scammers, I will never give you a phone number or reach out to you with investment advice.
