Becoming a #Bitcoin maximalist is the result of a lot of study, research, mistakes, shitcoin scams... until the moment you see the light, when something clicks inside you and everything is suddenly clear.
Many people ask me "where should I start?", I always say "study what money is and its history, the federal reserve, the Nixon shock, the inflation, the fractional reserve".
Read a few books such as The Bitcoin Standard and The Price of Tomorrow.
After this foundation then you can start diving into bitcoin.
It is worth it!

Financial advise: buy #Bitcoin and do self custody, period.

There are 8 billion people in the world.
Only 10 million people understand #bitcoin.
A tiny part of these 10 million people do self custody.
You are so early!

Also those buying 600K+ Bitcoin and not willing to disclose a proof of reserve address do not understand the difference between paper Bitcoin and self custody.

#Bitcoin Self Custody is happening faster than you think..
They cannot stop you from sending/receiving Bitcoin in self custody.
They cannot take Bitcoin from you.
Haven't you realised the power of this yet?
UNCONFISCATABLE!

One day the exchanges won't exist anymore and all the Bitcoin will be in self custody.
One day.

Omg look at #Bitcoin #Knots.. nothing stops this train!
Haven't you created your own seed phrase with true entropy by using dice yet?
Consider to do that, it's a fun exercise that will also give you a full understanding of what's behind those famous 12/24 words.

Bitcoin is a real form of wealth that has been created from scratch.
It is scarse, portable, divisible, unconfiscatable, decentralized, accessible.
It is sound money!

Kudos to all the Bitcoin educators out there. Being able to explain Bitcoin to a normie in a simple way is absolutely genius and you guys have all my respect!
Also, it is probably one of the most important challenges for speeding up its (inevitable) adoption!
I recently started my mission to make self custody understandable to as many people as possible and, in the near future, to simplify it as much as I can.
Work in progress..

Watching "God Bless Bitcoin" on YouTube. Give it a go and pass it to your friends and family. My partner watched it with me, she is getting interested.. Orange pilling mode on!

My partner is an artist who loves to paint. I have been educating her on #Bitcoin and she would like to sell her paintings for sats!
This is what she recently made, pm me you are interested!

#Bitcoin reminds me of a quote in the first book of Carlos Castaneda:
"Anything is one of a million paths. Therefore you must always keep in mind that a path is only a path; if you feel you should not follow it, you must not stay with it under any conditions. To have such clarity you must lead a disciplined life. Only then will you know that any path is only a path and there is no affront, to oneself or to others, in dropping it if that is what your heart tells you to do. But your decision to keep on the path or to leave it must be free of fear or ambition. I warn you. Look at every path closely and deliberately. Try it as many times as you think necessary.
This question is one that only a very old man asks. Does this path have a heart? All paths are the same: they lead nowhere. They are paths going through the bush, or into the bush. In my own life I could say I have traversed long long paths, but I am not anywhere. Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn't, it is of no use. Both paths lead nowhere; but one has a heart, the other doesn't. One makes for a joyful journey; as long as you follow it, you are one with it. The other will make you curse your life. One makes you strong; the other weakens you.
Before you embark on any path ask the question: Does this path have a heart? If the answer is no, you will know it, and then you must choose another path. The trouble is nobody asks the question; and when a man finally realises that he has taken a path without a heart, the path is ready to kill him. At that point very few men can stop to deliberate, and leave the path. A path without a heart is never enjoyable. You have to work hard even to take it. On the other hand, a path with heart is easy; it does not make you work at liking it.”
Bitcoin is a path with a heart.
I created this educational tool that lets you generate random seeds and check if any of them hold a balance.
For each seed, the tool only looks at the first address of each type (1, 3, bc1, and bc1p). You can filter by address type.
You can test weak entropy <128 bits and padding the rest with a chosen binary pattern (like '0', '1', '0001', etc..)
Building this project has taught me a lot about seeds and entropy, and I now feel much more confident in managing them!

The state of necessity is what people really need in order to grow.
I first bumped into Bitcoin during the Silk Road years, I simply ignored it.
I came across it again a few years later, had a timid curiosity, flirted with it but I ended up friend zoning it.
Then later again, under a state of necessity I fell in love and decided to deeply study it, listened 1000 hours of podcasts, paid tuition fee and here I am.
Ego test, humility test!
Thanks to the legends who helped me waking up:
@Jeff Booth @Robert Breedlove @jack mallers @Giacomo Zucco @Saifedean Ammous 🙏

Bitcoin, Nostr and Bitchat are the present and the future of the internet and sovereignty!

Don't be scared of the self custody journey. The reward is big and is the total control of your own keys without stress, as a true self sovereign.
Give yourself a chance to deep dive into this rabbit hole.
There's nothing better of feeling confident in managing your stack because you learnt how to protect it, by using backup redundancy, inheritance, multisig, coinjoin, software and hardware tips.
You will be able to securely cross borders with your stack, isn't that amazing?
You've got nothing to lose!
