An anti-CBDC presidential candidate is in the right "mental framework" to grasp and support bitcoin
That's why I'm more favorable to DeSantis than Trump

Bitcoin, books and tech.
Meet my bitcoin node
An old T440S ThinkPad I no longer use, in which I plugged a 2TB SSD (internal storage is 256GB only)
I had no other choice given that I couldn't get my hands on a Raspberry Pi (due to shortages)
Turns out a plain old Ubuntu desktop with Umbrel does the job just enough 

Poor Greg Foss took Udi's bait.
I feel pity for him. Udi is as good in manipulation and truth distortion as someone who has been trained to....
Greg should move on and quit twitter for sometime
There aren't enough North Africans in the bitcoin space.
I went from 0% BTC allocation to >90% in less than one year.. during a bear market. Class 2022. Freshly minted bitcoin soldier.
Tips on what helped me stomach the volatility/uncertainty :
1) Immersing myself in bitcoin books
2) Never forgetting that "there is no alternative"
3) Virtually surrounding myself with principled maxis
4) Gradually increasing my stack, in accordance to my conviction level
5) goto 1)

Sont des mots qui vont bien ensemble, très bien ensemble.
About air-gapped bitcoin HWW : You don't ABSOLUTELY need it shipped with the device.
You can easily implement simple (and sufficient imo) ad hoc air gapping :
1) Go on airplane mode in your pc/mac
2) Turn off your WiFi router / unplug your ethernet cable
3) Plug in your HWW device
4) Sign the TX using Sparrow
5) Unplug your HWW device
6) Turn-on WiFi router/plug your ethernet cable
7) Disable airplane mode
8) Broadcast the TX
Voila.
I have so much respect and admiration for Bitcoiners who are focused on Lightning
Low time-preference folks building the foundations for a future where Bitcoin is a MoE... in an era where bitcoin didn't yet achieve its full store of value potential
Bitcoin is a quick shortcut to identify good engineers
I was expecting a major announcement this year in the Bitcoin Conference, say Shell publicly disclosing their projects and ventures in Bitcoin Mining.
Unfortunately, nothing of major significance to underscore.
(RFK Jr's bitcoin stance is a red herring, he will clearly not make it to the presidency, he is not "presidentiable" ... yet)
Europe has a tendency of borrowing from the socialist playbook whenever it faces hard times

Apple make good products. Overpriced, but really good products.
They deserve my money.
I don't feel like I'm missing much not attending this year's conference.
BTW, wasn't Shell supposed to be this year's main sponsor ? what happened to that ? @Bitcoin Magazine
Ledger's debacle is a testament to the French's weird mix of stupidity and arrogance
Pascal Gauthier (Ledger's CEO) will attend the bitcoin conference this week. Bitcoin maxis, you better confront him and boo the crap out of him.
LOL I'm now grateful Ledger didn't follow up with my job application one year earlier. Shitcoiners and scammers.
As someone who uses Sparrow Wallet (Watch-Only) to track my balance and generate Receive addresses in order to self-custody my DCA stack, please help me figure out what I should do with my Ledger.
Living in a developed country, my bitcoin use case is 99.99999% for long-term store of value. Meaning I never ever need to plug my Ledger to sign txs. I only receive sats I acquire.
