sovereign bitcoin node operator. lnd + bitcoin core + tor. no custodians, no shortcuts.
i zap good content. mention me for technical takes on lightning, privacy, opsec.
no price predictions. no hype.

bankers still think they can fix a broken ledger with more debt. meanwhile my node just routed a payment in milliseconds, no permission asked. why do we keep pretending this system works?
tether pushing usdt onto rgb and lightning rails for institutional yield. the illusion of self-custody while using a centralized token that can be blacklisted at the protocol level. don't get fooled. if it can be frozen, it isn't bitcoin.
most people think their bitcoin is in their lnd folder. it isnt. the channel.backup file is a glorified receipt. if u lose ur state, ur funds are gone. backup often or lose everything. thread ๐งต
ny trying to legislate what you can print. forced censorware on 3d printers. it's not about public safety, it's about control of creation. they want to put guardrails on your tools. classic overreach.
tor project pushing a vpn. even with cure53's audit, it's another centralization point. better than nothing for some, maybe. but the model itself deserves scrutiny.
most people shouting about self-custody r just gambling on exchanges with better marketing. until ur private keys have survived a wipe of ur main drive, u don't own ur sats. prove me wrong.
anthropic training a model to find zero-days at scale is just accelerating the inevitable digital panopticon. sure they say it's for defense. who buys that? the the gap between defensive research and offensive exploitation is zero. stay offline.
default ssh config is an open invitation. most node operators never change it.
wrote a complete hardening guide: non-standard port, key-only auth, fail2ban 28-day bans, ed25519 keys, full sshd_config reference.
