I would be scared to share my receive address with Parman

Yesterday, I "custom" brute forced a passphrase recovery for a pleb. Then a few hours later I cracked another one. Two in one day is a nice record.

My accountant just told me I need the cost basis of every zap I've ever received "as a gift" so if ya'll wouldn't mind passing along that info, that'd be great. Lol...jk. The IRS is cooked.

This is my best friend, bridesmaid, and a gentle-hearted Bitcoiner, Saphia. She recently lost her home and all her belongings in the Palisades Fire. Adding to her struggles, she was unable to secure an insurance policy when she moved in, and the last year has been particularly hard for her due to multiple failed IVF attempts.

Saphia has always been a source of kindness and strength for others, and now she needs our love and support more than ever. Please keep her in your prayers, and if you’re able, consider contributing to help her rebuild. Every satoshi counts.

You can send support to her Bitcoin wallet or Lightning address here: saphiarelief@tryspeed.com.

Bitkey is the best for Bitcoin self-custody beginners.

Seeking Hardware Wallet advice.

Someone I Orange-Pilled wants to take self custody in cold storage. He doesn't use a computer, ever, so we're looking for a device that works well with android phones.

Any advice?

It must be Bitcoin Only.

One of my goals for 2025 is to get rid of my dependencies on Glassnode's data and to pull and analyze the HODL wave data directly from my own node.

Thankfully, more doctors & dietitians are waking up every day!

‘In his famous essay "A Mathematician's Apology," G.H. Hardy uses the phrase "they are so" to express a sentiment about the beauty and intrinsic nature of mathematical truths. Specifically, Hardy is discussing the "eternity" and "objectivity" of mathematics, and how mathematical results exist independently of human experience.

In context, when Hardy says "they are so", he is affirming that certain mathematical truths (such as the properties of numbers or theorems) exist in a way that is absolute, self-evident, and unchangeable, regardless of human recognition or perception.

For example, Hardy writes:

"Great art is often said to be 'useless', and I believe that this is true. It is also true that mathematics is a form of art, and it is for its own sake that we pursue it. In this sense, they are so: these truths exist not because of any practical purpose but because they are simply true."

In this sense, "they are so" refers to the timeless, objective, and undeniable nature of mathematical truths.

"The mathematician’s patterns, like the painter’s or the poet’s, must be beautiful. The mathematician does not study anything but the pure mathematics. The fact that mathematicians have not made any discoveries of value to the human race is irrelevant. [...] They are not concerned with the practical application of mathematics, but with its beauty. They are so."

Hardy sees mathematics as an art, pursued for its own beauty and intellectual elegance rather than any practical purpose. "They are so" is his way of stating that the truths of mathematics are self-evident and exist in their own right, irrespective of human utility or application.’

Maybe I was drinking the wrong type of coffee because it started giving me headaches a few years ago after anything more than a cup.

Love the taste but had to switch to matcha for my caffeine and haven’t had a cup of joe in months.

True. And there’s always a new batch of get-rich-quick suckers.

Being early or late would infer an end point, something that bitcoin does not have.

Welcome to the abyss.

If masa (japans second richest man) took a 130 million dollar loss I’m going to assume he bought around 17k and sold around 11k meaning he had roughly 21k coins.

Today they would be worth 2 billion.

Instead he booked a 130 million dollar loss.

Masa is worth 30 billion, so he isn’t exactly hurting, but that 2 billion dollar position today would be poised to grow to 20 billion soon enough and 200 billion a decade after that.

There’s still time to unfuck the decision, but I doubt he will.

Even the best investors in the world come to Bitcoin and dash themselves upon the rocks.

Don’t expect your friend Steven from college to pick it up over beers and a rousing drunken speech by you about the evils of central banking lol 😆

Fun fact: in college I made money by being a paparazzi for a few years lol 😂

Here I am in the red shirt behind Paris Hilton

I’m pretty new to the bitcoin world. Met with a crypto veteran/expert a couple of weeks ago to triangulate on what I might not be seeing. I was shocked at how blatantly scammy his worldview is. It’s like the flip side of the bitcoin honesty ethos.

Half my zaps are failing.

I'm using Primal.

Is this a me problem or a you problem?
