Malos did such a great job to photograph my belts. He didn't simply took pictures of them. He gave each belt a different personality. 10/10 I recommend working with him View quoted note →

Bull market project?

Had AI been a thing in 2015 I would've use it to troubleshoot my Bitcoin mining setup. But alas... I just gave up on it.

Keep your coldcard imo. It's expensive functional hardware. Could still find utility later even if you don't use it now.

Since Coldcard I've been completely revisiting how I Bitcoin. From the bottom up.

Imagine if instead of preserving words you could preserve the randomness that lead you to them.

I went through a few Bitcoin bottoms and this one is really starting to feel like a rock bottom.

Stop thinking like that. Bitcoin does not care if you're casual user or not. Do it right or not at all. View quoted note →

"They did everything correctly and they still lost everything." No. They didn't everything correctly. Now we know that generating entropy from an electronic device is not "the correct way" to go about financial sovereignty.

I think the most fundamental lesson of this fiasco is to take entropy generation very seriously AND TO DO IT YOURSELF. Don't trust an electronic device for this. I don't think the lesson is to simply trust an other device. I don't think the lesson is to completely drop the idea of a HWW that secure a seed (as opposed to a solution like seedsigner). I don't think the lesson is that podcasters with sponsors are evil. The lesson is *generate a seed yourself*. Tho I do understand if your next lesson is to simply not trust these devices at all from now on. View quoted note →

What have you learned from this?

This is now officially the most exciting cycle I've been a part of.

The leatherbound business I'm building with Saifedean is probably more profitable than 99% of VC backed Bitcoin software project of the past decade.

You don't have to talk about and take a strong stance on the BIP issue if you have no idea what you're talking about. Some of you are saying stupid stuff and don't even know it. It's ok to stay in your lane and observe for a few years while learning before voicing yourself up.

I have been so incredibly productive in the last 2 weeks. Almost 25 other books done and 4 belts shipped.
