The only people these days who care or know how the internet works are either retired or furries. Everyone else just uses it. Same thing will happen to bitcoin. Thinking your grandmother is going to manage seed phrases from her personal Faraday cage bunker is beyond delusional.

When you organize a meetup event and people drive an hour and a half, bc they can't find anything else like it.

When you look at the maximalist community as basically a digital prepper community readying for immanent fiat collapse, their priorities and hardliner approaches to self-custody make sense. Preppers are: * insular * self-radicalizing * unconcerned with social norms * love gadgets and events where they can sell/buy gadgets * convinced collapse is likely Soon™ or a foregone conclusion within their lifetime

It'd a supreme irony that a community of bitcoin lunatics can't see that Lindsay Clancy legitimately went insane. She was being ping-ponged between multiple doctors who were rapidly changing her schedule of 14 medications. She was loudly signaling to family and care providers about her rapidly deteriorating mental state, which included insomnia, suicidal ideation, and literal thoughts of harming her children. Imagine crying out to everyone around you that you are losing control of ypur mind, begging for help, being open to instruction, etc...only to be taken half-seriously and having your care so mismanaged that your 3 children ultimately pay the price. Oh but this is clearly feminism's fault. Get real. People go crazy.

They just stand there for MINUTES. I don't know what I have to do. I mean, maybe I should wire the doorbell to a string of animated LEDs around the sign and a speaker in the bushes that plaus the sound of a shell chambering in a shotgun.
