If you know someone with a COLDCARD and you know them well. REACH OUT TO THEM! For people reaching out to you. Don’t answer. Verify it’s them via another channel if you want to reply. Send your funds out first to a non coldcard generated seedphrase wallet ASAP.

Great moment to revisit “everyone is a scammer”

There is a war going on for your bitcoins, and willpower is your only defense.

Every morning at 8 AM I go to work. It’s consistent 7 days a week. So the children know. Lately the oldest, that is 3 years old is starting to ask: “Are you going to help people?” My answer is: “Yes son, father is going to help people be safe” Son: “That’s nice” He pats on my shoulder “Will you be back soon?” Me: “Yes, son, just like every day you’ll see me at dinner” Son: “Ok dad, hug and good luck!” It’s sad to not be able to be with my children that much, but at the moment we have to help hundreds of people to safety from fiat tyranny a month. Doing this proof of work will help them in the future too. My time spent on building now will reward them in the future, that’s where it’s all about.

Just put new laces in these shoes. It’s the second pair of laces after ~5 years of these shoes. Some of my shoes are over two decades old and have been resoled and had minor repairs. Shoes should last over a decade at least. Daily shoe change is healthy for your feet and proper shoes are an extremely long term investment.

Becoming a bitcoin maxi… Last year I applied to become a consultant with @The Bitcoin Way. The vacancy received 250 applicants and I became one of the few that actually got a chance to join this family of bitcoiners. True proof of work needed to be fulfilled. Hundreds of clients were waiting for their consults and due to supplying the best education for self custody in the bitcoin space, they were overrun. With the expansion of the team we were able to optimize the workflows and clients communication. When the backlog finally was overcome it was time to expand our offerings on the basis of the needs of thousands of clients the bitcoin way built over the years. The technical team now consisting of 6 cybersecurity and bitcoin maximalists with a combined experience I’ve never encountered before worked heads down on the optimal business and enterprise solution for multiple signers with full redundancy without trusting any third party. This work has finalized and is now finding its first implementations. If you were at the btcprague conference, you might have noticed a few nice boxes with hardware standing at the bitcoin way booth. The number of people checking it out was thousands. Out of our team of 25 we were only present with 15 at the conference, we couldn’t handle the number of people interested in the details of what we supply. After the MainStage performance of Mr Saylor, Tony was next. And just like our stand performance, 80% of the people left the space apparently not understanding what bitcoin is about. If you took the time to talk with us or watched Tony’s speech, you’ll understand.

Woke up on this sunrise for a few weeks. It is special to be in search for a place called home.

What is the year we reach peak communism?

Now I’m really wondering how many degens got liquidated borrowing against shitcoins 😂 Had an epic conversation yesterday evening before going to bed. Woke up around 4.15 first answered my emails and DMs of BitcoinBrabant and did some workouts. Than found out bitcoin was a a bit lower. Emptied all the bank accounts. Bought bitcoin. Don’t do leverage. Work your ass off. Don’t leave bitcoin on an exchange. (All major US exchanges went offline during the trough).

If you want to vlog on nostr, how do you do it?

GM PV @Sanne and my son Otis Sha (anagram for Satoshi) is enjoying his new 3D printed violin. @Kevin Ravens₿erg ⚡️ ☁️ and his wife (true bitcoiners) have built vioolfabriek.nl They make it possible for every person on this planet to be able to play violin cheaply. Every morning O asks “violin”. He’s still a bit too young (2YO) but he’s trying it anyway. His hero (André Rieu) is perfectly mimicked. But he’s starting to like Mozart more recently.

GM, just wanted to tell you that my butcher does not want to convert his bitcoin into worthless euro’s. I’ve tried many tactics, scaring him, pushing him into some nice spending… can’t get him out of his bitcoin. He’s become a hodler, I’m impressed.

Interesting @jack

Time to say goodbye to ING bank. It was my last Dutch bank account. They don’t allow use of VPN to login to your bank account. Both the app and the website block VPNs.
