whats his opinions on rasberry pi

Have you ever set up a shamir's 2-of-3 single signature seed...or know someone who has? Is this method actually popular with-shitcoin wallets?

I/we have no desire to go after Saylor beyond our initial comment.

You Americans have big cars and big houses but it is not because you are harder working than the rest of the world or smarter.

It is because you have the world's reserve currency and you export inflation to the rest of the world, you finance yourselves at the expense of the rest of the countries, imposing your currency through the coercive force of your gigantic army.

Ask yourself why the US has military bases all over the world.

Bitcoin if it would solve this, we are going to compete as equals.

Free enterprise is the default state of affairs. It's a complex and ever-ongoing negotiation of prices between retailers, product producers, commodity producers, employees, and so forth. It is a constantly-adjusting control system sorting toward Truth.

Authoritarian governments and the masses that support them can impede upon prices and thus rekt the ability for natural pricing to occur, which disrupts all trade and makes everything more inefficient and more expensive.

Notably, the handful of countries that have made social democracy work, all preserved the metric of "ease of doing business." In other words, if you examine Scandinavian countries, they do have high taxes and high support for society. That's how these relatively small and homogenous societies have chosen to govern themselves, and they consistently score among the highest global levels of happiness. But in terms of "ease of doing business," they still score very high. They tax and spend, but they don't interference with business operations to generate new value. They tax and redistribute the engines of growth, but they don't impede the engines of growth.

That's the key thing, in terms of variables not to mess with. Don't interfere with the flow of pricing, domestically or globally, which is ultimately just information. Maintain the ease of doing business, let pricing set supply/demand balances, and then sort out what sort of social contract exists independently of those foundational wealth-building engines.

There are people who claim to support free markets but defend a central bank that price fixes most important price in the economy:

-- the price of borrowing and using resources up today at the expense of tomorrow.

They then casually dismiss both our astronomical overconsumption & debt problems...

I insta-pre-ordered a #Bitkey this morning after getting excited about their email but now I don’t really want it because of #1-3 of the attached. Deciding between cancelling my order or keeping to give as a gift to a new bitcoiner. Even that feels dishonest… 🫤 nostr:note1p9k7kkz93w5ktxty3qqxxhcl605gy80p5nxskd5dgq3e6leh97vq2qu8dw

Should Thorchain be added to non-kyc exchange options alongside HodlHold and the like?

fuck this dystopia

Shame on Gemini for bending the knee on this. The governments of the world and the unelected officials who write their regulatory guidelines (FATF) are morally bankrupt and do considerably more harm than good throughout the world. Where are the people with backbones?

The Winklevoss twins are more worried about their cover band than the well being of their customers. SAD!

Ok this one will be interesting! 🚨🚨🚨 I still try to find out some details, but till now this is what I know:

The Hungarian IRS managed to break into multiple Hardware wallets (on-scene in a van !!!). They managed to get (without a PIN !!!) $1,161,000 USD worth of "crypto" which were multiple types of "crypto".

There's a Hungarian tv show where officials are telling this exact story, but without the makers of the wallets (for proof I can link it, but it is in Hungarian language). Now my "contact" knows nothing about "crypto", but based on what "he or she" described these were the two most well known older types of wallets (it makes sense because locally those can be easily bought). I try to find out some more facts, but for me it sounds as a fuckin' backdoor use because entering into hardware wallets without a PIN in a van it's some mind-blowing thing.

If I can find out the exact models I will post it, but till then only speculation remains. Stay safe and watch for your corn! 🤙 #crypto #Bitcoin

Interested to hear your thoughts or successes/failures in this regard:

"I have a process that has worked really well for onboarding people to holding their own keys, and its ~3 steps. The opening is the most important because 99% of people just don't care or are interested for all of 10 seconds and then forget about it the moment you leave.

The singular reason I have used @walletofsatoshi recently is because they have Lightning Address by default. It isn't even about lightning. If I just wanted to send them a $10 tip and be done with it, then we'd use @PhoenixWallet, which is where I shift them after they have a meaningful amount & want to know what to do with it.

But that's not what I was trying to do, because that's not what *they* care about, it's what *I want them* to care about. Instead I go for something with easy lightning address (which Greenlight + @Breez_Tech might fix in the coming weeks completely non-custodially), so that people on social can tip them. Then they spend the next 2 days seeing tons of zaps flood into their wallet.

The simple fact is, it's exciting. It's interesting. It catches their attention repeatedly over the period of a few days. It keeps them engaged for longer. *Then* it becomes possible to make them care about what it is, and why they should think about it differently.

I think it's me being completely self-centered & have found it completely unsuccessful to boot, to think I can force someone to come at something with *my* perspective or to demand that they care about it the way that *I* do, instead of realizing what is relevant to them and starting from there.

I've been doing this for 12 years. If all you want to do is posture on socials that you are "more pure" or whatever, then go ahead and I hope you get something out of it. But if you want to actually succeed at changing peoples' minds, I'm happy to talk about what has or hasn't worked for me and maybe we can learn something from each other.

No hard feelings. Just trying to get us closer to a #Bitcoin future where everyone can be sovereign and more importantly, understands why they should care about it. You do it your way. I know what has worked for me and I'm always open to suggestions if you have any good ones."
