Did you think overturning the financial was going to be easy? That sovereignty could be bought for a song? That accumulating multigenerational wealth would happen without effort? Bitcoin is hard. When Bitcoin is easy, it has either failed or succeeded, but either way, by that time the opportunity is largely over.

Fiat can do something Bitcoin itself can’t: have a risk free lending rate. There is no issuer of bitcoin denominated debt that can guarantee repayment, unlike the situation where the borrower is also the printer. There is no bitcoin printer. Believe it or not, this is actually a knock against Bitcoin! But why? Because people LOVE zero risk situations…kind of in the same way that people love unicorns. They don’t really exist but if you can sell them you can make bank!

I don’t want to excuse @npub12ctj...c5ky's oversight with random number generation. It was dumb. And people got hurt but not thinking carefully, often about things they never even considered. But when you have this level of stupidity out there, it’s worth asking whether or not some people have the capacity for understanding entropy. It’s truly shocking. View quoted note →

This is hilarious. And sad at the same time. View quoted note →

I have a set of unbroken entropia seeds…all 2048 of them. I gave a family friend $80 to print them for me (mostly because they have 5 kids and homeschool and are awesome people), but I don’t need them. But if anyone wants to send me $80 in bitcoin I’d be happy to send them along…and request another set of entropia seeds. My understanding is that these don’t take too much trial and error to get right but can take 16 hours of print time between the 8 plates of double sided 128 tablets…
