Yeah I can see myself maybe using this as a checking account like I’m currently using nunchuk for. But with nunchuk I have the ability to use any additional signing device, like a coldcard for verifying balances on screen. nunchuk doesn’t have as nice ux but its a lot more flexible. Since im a hww nerd I like the additional flexibility, and hope I can use bitkey in nunchuk one day.

The crazy bitcoin security side of me can’t really use bitkey in its current state but damn it’s cool and easy to use. Feels like a more streamlined version of nunchuk. I wish it was a bit more transparent. Right now it’s completely opaque, you can’t see the multisig wallet descriptor. The rock could just be a fancy blinking light with for all i know.

It’s clearly an all-in-one solution. It doesn’t seem that it’s intended to be used as a standalone signer. I would totally use it if I could use it that way. Maybe thats coming in the future.

Right now you have to trust that the on-device key, bitkey, and their server is all securely separated. The whole point of multisig to me is to have compartmentalized trust, but bitkey seems to be using it mainly as a recovery scheme if you lose your device, since there is no seed phrase import step

I was at least able to verify that it is using multisig, but was only able to by sending a transaction, otherwise it’s all a black box and I have to trust them.

One thing you can’t deny is that if you trust that they have implemented everything the right way, it’s a very slick and simple solution for most people.

Would I recommend this for people looking to store their life savings? Probably not, at least not until it becomes more transparent.

It’s still hard to believe sometimes that bitcoin is casually trading at these prices.

Don't trust, ver.

After having a little money for a few years and dabbling in some of the finer things I can tell you that nothing beats an ordinary life.

- Getting a slice of pizza and seeing a movie with your wife.

- Hitting the bar and having drinks and conversation with your friends.

- Hanging out at the park throwing a frisbee around.

- Taking the kids for ice cream on a hot summer day.

- An economy plane ticket to go visit family or an old friend.

- A reliable car that takes you where you need to go.

- A great blanket to snuggle up in on a cold winter day.

If you have these things already, trust me… you are wealthier than you know.

Drinking $1,000 wine and eating caviar with famous people won’t make you any happier. In fact it may have the opposite effect.

As the bitcoin price rises you should definitely dabble in fancy shit if you feel compelled, but once you get a peak behind the curtain you’ll find out pretty quick it’s hollow and meaningless compared to the things that really matter.

Worth noting that Gregory Maxwell and Pieter Wuille in particular put a huge amount of work into the case, tracking down the technical details that helped us win. Wuille also agreed to testify in person in London. Though in the end his witness statement was so strong he never had to!

14 Bitcoin for a pan of baklava in 2011 is now worth over $1,000,000.

From $70 to a million in a little over 12 years.

I've never been more bullish on anything in my life, yet even I didn't believe Bitcoin would grow so fast. I was just trying to pay my bills, and save for the future, while getting away from the fiat standard.

Feeling extremely grateful and humbled today. Wow. 🙏

The #nostr insight that hit me like a brick wall at #BitcoinAtlantic came from the statement: ‘Signed messages relayed.” I realized that this was the fundamental difference between the current platforms and what is now being built with #nostr. The key idea is that the relay is free to do whatever it wants, but with the minimum of only relaying messages that are signed. Similarly, #npub holders are free to use any app or relay they choose so long as they sign with their #nsec.

That’s it!

Your #nsec is like gunpowder and your #npub is like a cannonball that can break down the walls of the closed gardens.
