But anyone can buy $1 worth of Bitcoin any time. So a “whole” coin is out of reach but Sats are never out of reach. A whole is just an abstraction anyways..
Discussion
Yes, but everyone mocks people who don't own a whole coin and act like they're just retarded.
We're always viewed like we're retarded for owning ANY bitcoin, at all! Unless... we "bought" bitcoin through the ETFs!🤣
I think Adam Back mentioned that even he is not a wholecoiner. Shows how confident he about 1 sats future purchasing power.
Back is 100% a > 100 whole coiner. He’s been in Bitcoin a long time. You’re thinking of someone else.
Yeah, doesn't he run Liquid?
He runs Blockstream too. He has mad corn.
I actually ordered a Jade Plus for my mom a few days ago after hearing some great reviews. It's a beautiful piece of hardware!
Mom’s holding keys!🫡🤝
So is my dad. Bought a Jade for him about a month ago, I think. I was very surprised to see how quickly he picked up on everything.
NICE. Are they using sparrow as software? It really is simple and intuitive to use Bitcoin once you go through a few txs. Easier than a wire transfer by a long shot.
I got my brother, sister and best friend hodling keys for their lil stacks. Such a good feeling.
Nope, Green Wallet, since the UI is much more beginner friendly. Maybe, one day, my sis and I will help them transition to Sparrow after they've become more accustomed to using Green and Bitcoin, in general.
Wait, you have other Bitcoiners in the family, fr? I don't even know anyone with Bitcoin, except from Nostr. Everyone I know absolutely hates Bitcoin.
A bunch. Some cousins, my sis, and now my parents. I, actually, bought bitcoin later than most of them. My sis is the one who orange-pilled me 7 years ago.
Wow, she's lucky!
I still just have my Ledger.
You do plan to change eventually, right?
I don't really have enough Bitcoin to justify buying 2 hard wallets. They cost a lot of money.
I was looking at a Bitbox, but it costs €150.
I don't need hw wallets.
Buy a good usb stick or two, install tailos, put your favourite sw wallet+keepaass there. Clone them. Done. 15(x2) euros.
If you feel like it, buy a dural/aluminium waterproof case.
Probably. I know he has been in bitcoin for a long time. I can't remember who said they weren't a wholecoiner, i saw it in some interview🤔.
I’m sure there are Bitcoin influencers who aren’t but Back isn’t an influencer. He’s a legit computer science guy who has taken Bitcoin apart and put it back together, knows it inside and out and I believe genuinely trusts that it’s a true breakthrough.

This whole interview ^ is well worth a listen.
I've seen this. A lot of people are convinced he is Satoshi. I don't think he is, but who knows?🤷
