Perhaps. But that’s what I’ve been trying to sort out with y’all. Obviously self custody first. But do you/we perceive the attack vectors I’m throwing down as valid? If so, then doesn’t it make sense to, at minimum, have a side pot with a multi sig custodian who is aligned in worldview like OnRamp? At least OnRamp acknowledges the need for multi jurisdictional optionality and has critical mass/scale to get ahead of the onslaught. Not everyone is a single coder bro that can simply bail out to El Salvador. The lack of acknowledgement and seeming unwillingness to beat up some of these very real attack vectors is an indictment of our team’s values or perhaps an indication of a naivety about how ugly it’s gonna get when Rome 2.0 starts to burn. I have yet to hear an intelligent rebuttal from anyone. Ape-ing memes aka virtual picketing (90% of nostr) isn’t an intelligent argument that’s going to create converts with conviction. Losing the normie masses loses the war. Feel me?
Spent all day at a payment industry conference. Who said FinTech is putting lipstick on a pig? I can tell you first hand the pig is fat and ripe for the slaughter. Many of the pig farmers are nice folks. Very intelligent and intrigued by BTC. We need to do more to bring em over.
Eiffel was well done. But gotta be in the mood for captions
"For every death caused by diseases related to excessive sun exposure — such as melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer — there are 328 deaths caused by diseases of sunlight deprivation"
Upon listening to this podcast a couple of years ago, I did go out and buy "Embrace the Sun". It gets a little repetitive throwing research and statistics at you, but it is important information regarding using the SUN to help gain optimum health...and perhaps eliminate lingering ailments or chronic conditions.
I DO use a zinc oxide sunscreen, with a fairly clean ingredient list, if I'm going to be out in the sun more than 3+ hours...and I'm often out there 5-6 hours as a tennis teaching pro. In those cases, I'll also wear a wide brim hat with SPF protection as well as long sleeves. Otherwise, I go unprotected...and never burn.

Intriguing. I’m on the water windsurfing and foiling quite a bit. Been wising up and using that ProTekt stick. Nearly every old timer has had their face scooped out at some point. Gnarly
Can’t wait for the Big Short equivalent flik when all this is done.
OK - I'm not a fan of the "dumbass" descriptor, but still appreciated this piece by Jesse Myers. For me, I "grew up" investing primarily in equities...and then always insisted on carrying debt for as short a time as possible (so no credit card debt and pay mortgage as fast as possible).
When people talked to me about #bitcoin in 2012, I disregarded it and knew that my long-term, buy-and-hold equities strategy would work like it historically does. And after 30 years, it allowed me to semi-retire as an analytics consultant and do a passion career (tennis teaching pro).
Then I developed a distrust in our healthcare/nutrition/food systems and realized it was all captured. I did an n=1 experiment with my own health and the transformation was astounding.
I heard Saifedean and Breedlove on two different CarnivoreMD podcasts and awakened to the possibility "wait, if they were lying about food/nutrition, maybe they are lying about finance/economics".
So it took developing a distrust in one system to send me down the bitcoin/economics rabbit hole.

Growing to appreciate these OnRamp
Guys more n more.

Can’t be rugged with OnRamp. Gubment can still rug your ability to use your non KYC stack. Unless we’re all destined to move to El Salvador? Which is a hard ask for those of us with families, communities, churches.

Love a good zap but poke holes in this...help me beat it up...tell me where I'm in error. Outside of education and evangelizing...where can we invest to help the normie masses navigate this future custody threat?
It’s interesting how the most brilliant alpha geeks don’t see the most obvious attack vectors.
Millions will self custody till the man says you can only custody with one of our approved bolshevik banking cartel custodians…ESPECIALLY for your qualified accounts (Same rules as PMs). Short stackers will cave as they slowly bleed out. Naive No-KYC stackers will think they can live in a black market without the bots eventually making an example out of em. How to get ahead of it? Homestead, commune, second passport, side stack with trusted custodian like OnRamp, or [your answer here] ?
Maybe some sit-ups.
There isn't a way. Prove me otherwise.
You're making a certain knowledge claim in this very statement while categorically denying certainty. See the problem?
I found this dude's apologetic approach most helpful. A prepositional apologetic. The discussion under Media > Skype Discussions is especially profound and helpful. https://www.proofthatgodexists.org/
