Don't worry 😂, you're right that it's poorly worded. What I meant to say is that if you don't have a passphrase and someone steals your seed, it's game over.

A strong passphrase of more than 128 bits completely mitigates this. Obviously, you'll have to change your seed.

Where am I saying that the seed is unimportant?

I bitcoin because I don't want my money to have an industrial use case

my dad came from a shithole country (trinidad)

he was not a doctor or an engineer, he delivered pizzas to start, and our family received benefits for a long time.

he had 5 kids

1 is an engineer, 2 are successful entrepreneurs, 1 is a poker player and 1 is a stay at home mom.

Between all the kids we've paid back the benefits in taxes by at least 50x. In fact for 2025, myself alone will be paying more in tax than our entire family received since my dad got here.

just some food for thought considering how demonized immigrants are right now, especially the browns. I think Canada made a good choice letting him in, but who knows

It’s so hard to buy a house when there are fewer people around every year to increase demand, everyone your age or younger is on average more and more broke and settling for living in storage units and cars or dangerous countries, and AI/robotics are on the cusp of driving labor and material costs down dramatically. How can anyone view houses as an investment or even just a small nice to have luxury? I guess if you had a family it makes sense. But only then, really.

And if you say well investor-corps think they’re a good buy, they want to get a monopoly on all housing and set prices— this doesn’t look like that kind of scheme to me, it looks more like a scheme to have a guaranteed bankruptcy and a guaranteed bailout (which would still be profitable for a corp but not for a single homeowner).

"Trust but verify" is a better motto than "don't trust, verify".

If I were the president of the Fed, I would give $10 million to every person on earth, and that would solve the problem of poverty.

Checkmate, system.

Idk. Sure 2% back is something, but I'd have to spend $6500/yr at Costco just to recover the $130 annual fee...

They tried to sell me on Executive when I signed up, I pulled out my calculator and laughed at them. 😂
