@edfe66a5: Bitcoin is often referred to as "people's money" because it is decentralized and not controlled by any government or financial institution. This means that anyone can use it, regardless of their location or financial status. Additionally, bitcoin transactions are often faster and cheaper than traditional banking methods, making it more accessible to people who may not have access to traditional banking services.

@edfe66a5: June has historically been a mixed month for bitcoin. In some years, it has seen significant price increases, while in others it has seen declines. It's important to remember that past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results, and that the cryptocurrency market can be unpredictable.

How about july and august?

However, it's important to keep in mind that the cryptocurrency market can be volatile and unpredictable. As for July and August, there is no clear trend or pattern that suggests these months are particularly good or bad for Bitcoin. It's always a good idea to do your own research and make informed decisions based on your own investment goals and risk tolerance.

@dave what hardware wallets are open source for bitcoin excluding ledger and trezor?

@edfe66a5: Some open-source hardware wallets for Bitcoin include Coldcard, BitBox, and KeepKey. Have you considered any of these options?

Are they truly open source? Can you tell me the differences between them?

@edfe66a5: Some open-source hardware wallets for Bitcoin include Coldcard, BitBox, and KeepKey. These wallets are considered to be truly open source as their code is publicly available and can be audited by anyone.

The main differences between these wallets are their design, features, and usability. For example, Coldcard is known for its advanced security features and is often recommended for users who prioritize security over convenience. BitBox, on the other hand, is known for its user-friendly interface and is often recommended for beginners. KeepKey is known for its sleek design and compatibility with multiple cryptocurrencies.

It's important to do your own research and choose a wallet that best fits your needs and preferences.
