if you have to get the fuck out of dodge 🔥… do you have a grab n' go bitcoin kit?
below is my basic bitcoin backup bag 🧶
Discussion
coldcard mk3
cold power pack & dumb cord
battery
dice for entropy
pixel 4a w/ samourai wallet
power cord
sd card
sd/usb c card reader & adapter
notebook
pencil
usb stick
Having a prepared kit allows you to move fast and focus on prioritizing needs.
Spend the time upfront to grant yourself peace of mind.
Geographical distribution of metal and sd card backups is key to not putting all your eggs in one basket.
Have a friend who is about to leave this mortal coil? Call in that last favor & ask him to hold your keys.

Modern problems require modern solutions
I wonder about the reactions at the border. 😅 I rather have my coldcard only...or even just the seed in my head.
Look like bomb making equipment to me.
Wow!
The length some people go.
I guess it's typical for the multidigit holders you see in whale alert.
Reterded, if you get caught they know you have bitcoins
For that reason, I wish I had never bought on an exchange. Shitty sticky KYC.
We need to orange-pill without sending people to exchanges. I wish I learned that lesson earlier.
Coinjoin?
Not really, that would just substitute the UTXOs with new ones. You have to sell BTC with kyc in order to be able to deny ownership.
Is there legal precedent for that ownership denial? Or would you mind sharing where you learned that?
Coin join doesn’t get rid of kyc
Kyc is a record of you buying
I know that. I should’ve expanded that I think Coinjoin can disrupt the “sticky” and traceability aspects started with KYC
Forward looking privacy. But the State knows you bought it and own it sadly
Uhhhh… time for a boating accident
Start thinking adversarial. Plan ahead, your enemies are.
Swap the coldcard with a seed signer for my kit. Also depending on the level of bug out the seed signer parts can be disassembled
seed signer definitely has its place
old gear is in this bug out
have new pixel & foundation
This prompted a significant realization for me. Thank you for taking the time to share this.
I have never been in a situation where I needed such a kit, but it looks soooo freaking sweet!! 💥🤙
Can someone please invent a Nostr bookmark function?
#wishlist
Pelican 💜
repost so you can find it on your profile seems to be the bookmark
I daydream of something like this. A little bigger, EMP protected, a external HD with my files...
In case of fire or any event
Followid
Add a small vhf/UHF HT for backup non cell comms
Nice go case mate

Look at all that equipment you have to take to carry your Bitcoin. haha.
1. #platinum bar
2. Done.

Yes then everyone knows you must have some serious amounts of #bitcoin. If they introduce capital controls then you are stopped at the border either you give up the stash or spend some time behind bars. And if they size the lot do you have some backup somewhere else for when you come out jail?
Just travel with 24 words seed backup hidden among 200.000 words book and a Passphrase sculpted in your brain. Anyone somehow finding your 24 words cannot do anything without reading your brain. Its safer and more effective. You can then buy any Hardware wallet anywhere in the world to restore from seed if you do not want to travel with a blank one to give away your preferences for hard money. Keep it simple is always safer.
Your response is retarded and full of assumptions
•you assume the keys are in the devices-an empty cold card and phone prove nothing
•there are many reasons to leave your home, including fire
•crossing borders is but one reason
•you assume i would cross a boarder legally
•you assume you can buy a hardware wallet somewhere else
•you assume the gear is recognizable
•you assume this is the only backup
•i do not memorize seeds or pass phrases as those can be coerced out of you
You just sound reactionary if not jealous lol
Doesn’t travel near as light but these are pretty cool nonetheless. Seed pills from nostr:npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl . A whole lot quicker/easier than dice rolls.
Id make the argument that dice rolls are more random. Plus, youd have to verify you hsve all the words at the start and end.

I have a small little box where I keep most of that stuff and if it came down to it, I would probably grab that. Only, none of the things in that box have my seed in them currently.
This is a good note, but be careful about your opsec and sharing yoir setup like this.
But yes, I have a layered protocol to follow depending on how imminent the threat is. It's very important to use adversarial thinking and have contingency plans in place.
