Holy shit please help me. I just purchased like $500 worth of ethereum and sent it to my wallet and whenever I open metamask I get this shit. It just shows the loading icon for a little bit and then says "MetaMask had trouble starting. This error could be intermittent, so try restarting the extension." I click on restart but nothing happens. IT JUST KEEPS HAPPENING. Please help me I've never had this happen to me before. This is a lot of money to me and I am a fucking retard and never saved the seed phrase. Please I am literally shaking.

I am so close to giving up and just reinstalling the extension but one thing stops me. I cannot load the metamask home website. Whenever I go to home.metamask.io it is simply a blank page, but I can go to it on other browsers. Maybe this is the issue? If I can successfully load this site and this issue persists, then I will give up and delete the account and never look back. What could be the issue with loading this site? And is it even related?

Try using chrome on another computer or a virtual machine and copy paste your extension from

There’s a more precise file for your wallet I believe that you can copy paste instead of the whole extension if the extension is the problem but I can’t find it now.

If it doesn’t work then find this file and just copy paste this file. It’s the equivalent of wallet.dat for Bitcoin if you get what I mean

You trusted internet meme money. You know how USD says "In God We Trust" on it? well you trusted internet memes. Hope you learn something about trust from this. If it only costs you $500 that will be a cheap lesson compared to some.

With CBDC crypto market is expected to get an injection of 2/5 trillion over next 5 or 10 years

Its not a bad idea to own some coins, but its even smarter to own the crypto companies by e.g. ETFs

To be honest, managing a huge number of seed phrases can be challenging than you think. It's very much better when you can have a single and secure account, with a single authorization log-in process to access your assets.

STFU. That's absolutely retarded. Irrespective of the value, if users cannot be guaranteed the security of their funds in decentralized finance, it's easy to speculate the downward progression things may follow in terms of adoption

Another reason why I prefer to use protocols that encrypts all these into a PIN such that I can have access to my portfolio through one identity, regardless of my custody of seed phrases.
