Bring back the guillotine.

The new n o s t r marketplace by Motorina0 and Talvasconcelos is glorious

Try censoring a completely clientside market that populates based on merchant public keys!

Bitcoiners helped the term ‘fiat money’ enter the mainstream. People understand it now as money backed by nothing.

We now need to pass the Cantillion Effect into the public consciousness. It’s effect should be as clearly understood to the normie as the effect of gravity, and it’s impact as an inescapable law of reality in which those closest to the ‘fiat money’ printer benefit most whilst everyone else deals with the inflation should become pervasive.

The Cantillionaires who make money off war, in banks, and pharma - where crony capitalism encouraged by ‘fiat money’ is at its most blatant; give them that name.

A label. An economic slur.

Apply it liberally to every corrupt politician, businessman, banker, bureaucrat, talking head or other parasite who perpetuates this system which sucks the purchasing power directly out of wallets.

When the printing starts up again there must be no doubt as to who benefits nor clarity as to who is paying.

Very much depends upon timeframe Lyn:

If you’re looking to safely secure over a handful of years, hardware wallets are a good option and there are many to choose from

I contend they are a poor choice for long term (decades or generations) because hardware devices *and their interfaces* are notoriously short lived

If bitcoin had been around when i started in IT, the most secure storage was archive-quality mag-tape. Step back just a decade, and the best was likely CD/DVDs .. now think about the last two computers you acquired - does either have a DVD drive?

What about SD card readers? They were popular for a while and many computers included slots for them - today, not so much.

Core point is that todays hardware wallet, may be difficult to access in a decade or two simply because tech and interfaces evolve. As a recent example consider the new iPhone which has now finally switched to a standard USB-C port instead of the apple proprietary one.

So for short/medium term, hardware wallets are useful as signing devices, but never to be relied upon for long term security.

IMO, for that longer term security you must store the seed and passphrases on very low-tech solutions.

What are your favorite hardware wallets, among the latest generation of them?

And are there any that you really don’t like?

60 hr stretch of fiat mining begins tomorrow. 🫡 will be ready to exchange for sats asap.

You are both criminal. Too much penis butter feels weird in my mouth. Jelly for the win 🥹🫠

Hmmm, I'm on the fence. I see the logic, but I think that kind of change needed to happen years ago.

I think you are right though. Once the supply is sufficiently distributed, people may just refer to individual sats as bitcoins purely for a Quality of Life purpose.

It'll be interesting to see what happens.
