Been buying bitcoin since 2018. I particularly like http://river.com. The Bitcoin White Paper http://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf Christ is Lord.
There is a reason why I have gone to just one bitcoin conference (2023 Texas Blockchain Council - which is a stupid name and besides having dinner with politicians was a waste of time) since getting into bitcoin in Jan 18. And it's not because of cost. It's because I have zero interest in rubbing shoulders with influencers or being seen with them. My decisions regarding my bitcoin aren't perfect, but I didn't listen to any of them in any meaningful way at any point. I listened to people who had nothing to gain by giving me advice. That's worked out pretty well so far.
This coldcard thing is disappointing, but it will have about as much longer term effect on future users as Mt Gox had on me. I knew nothing about it until I had already built much of my stack.
Tell me again why we are sad the bitcoin price won't go up? I've been stacking like a crazy person this summer.
They're already talking about sharing AI's wealth with the public. Sounds great, but how do share the wealth of something that gobbles every dollar it can get and emediately turns those dollars into losses?
