I’m an OG but lightning is not my forté. Payment failed and I did it again immediately and it seemed to work…weird.

Yeah it's buggy between implentations I think. Used to run a lightning node, but then I got a life. It has to be easier than moving on chain for me to consider using it.
May get rugged, but it's the zaps we made along the way that count.
How OG? I mined (and gave up) in 2012. Shitcoined till 2017 when I sold at the top. Only came back properly and for good in 2021.
Freedom from the grind maybe this halving, maybe next. Hope you're enjoying it.
First slashdotting. July 2010. Mined for a week with my laptop cpu…back when that worked. Managed to not sell all but definitely sold way too much. Donated some and helped with a foundation that subsequently folded.
I’ve always bought small amounts every month since coinbase became a thing. Those $20 buys in 2013 really mean something today. Started buying for real in March/April 2019 after plan b released his model.
While I no longer thing plan b model is best, it’s still useful. Very useful. But for long term planning I believe power law model more likely to be true on average. Much less optimistic but also not exponential…exponential models always must fail eventually. Power law models don’t _have_ to fail ever. But even this model will fail someday. My guess is 10-15 years.
My advice: learn self custody well. Practice it. Get a coldcard from @nvk and practice seed creation, backup, delete, restore and wallet creation…and stack hard enough to have no regrets…this means don’t become a forced seller. And don’t leave too much on the table.
Nice. Congrats for hodling.
Just the one coldcard for such a stack?
I went the multisig route but feel like it was a bit overkill.
Best not to rely on anything electronic to maintain seed. Multisig is useful but complicated.
My advice: 24 word seed on metal. Keep at home. Have long pass phrase, part of which is on metal at reasonably secure location you control as far away from home as possible (work, bank, etc), and remaining part on metal or paper kept with multiple trusted third parties instructed to only ever give it to your spouse in person…preferably out of state.
The main goal is to make it take forever, but if your out of state contact knows to call police if you request passphrase instead of your wife, you have a sly way of raising alarm bells.
