I’ve tested out 6 Ledger hardware wallets over the years. 2 nanoS 4 nanoX 1 nanoS screen is now completely broke and won’t render the GUI 1 nanoX just gave me a “battery no longer charges” error and then upon using it again just performed a factory reset (presumably wiping the seed) without asking. 33% failure rate is pretty fucking unacceptable with ledger. I’m not using these devices actively even. Just remember to backup in metal folks… I was trying to get some manufacturer resiliency by using Coldcard and Ledger for a multisig, but I’m done with ledger after multiple PII leaks and critical HWW malfunctions Just a PSA I guess…

My favorite thing about the last 10 years has been the chance to be dirt poor with all my friends over the entire course of our relationships. … it’s truly been a pleasure. I love you all and plan to continue to stay poor and live out of a backpack for the foreseeable future… at least until morale improves.

It will happen one by one, individual by individual, company by company. Balance sheet by balance sheet. 21/ When all is said and done, bitcoin will be taken for granted just like electricity and the internet is today. What remains in the background is a beautiful orange circle of interlocking incentives. Settling transactions, block by block. View quoted note →

Everyone has a better solution in their head. Few build it.

“I disapprove of what you say, but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it—unless, of course, it contradicts my carefully curated version of reality, disrupts my agenda, or makes me the slightest bit uncomfortable.” Somehow, just not as catchy as the original.

GM… I will judge you more on your urinal selection algorithm than I do your overall personality.

Much love to the quiet ones who just get shit done and change the world on silent mode. The masses might not credit you with much, but the real ones will remember everything you did and have done.
