USD is a store of de-value.
Elon “lettuce hands” Musk 😂
It wouldn't be KYC-free if it were with Unchained which is a KYC-only service.
I'll have to check out Nunchuk - i highly recommend Unchained over Casa though.
I have none.
Been in bitcoin a bit over 10 years I thought it would be a good time to reflect on some lessons I learned. When I first started buying bitcoin it was purely a novetly thing because bitcoin was the new hotness and I was (still am) a dork who was interested in GPU mining. I had no principled play, no underlying economic theory i was simply in it for the technology as they say. Lessons in chronological order as I can remember them.
I started mining in 2013 with GPU's then eventually moved to a Butterfly Labs Jalapeno device. I stopped mining simply because the ROI wasn't looking good on paper and mining wasn't quite a set-it-and-forget-it style investment. My townhouse was uncomfortably hot in the summer and that sucked. Lesson learned: Don't judge the value of bitcoin at present day market value if you don't need the money immediately. KYC-free sats are the best thing ever.
I stopped buying bitcoin when the market turned down 2014/2015/2016. I still hadn't acquired the economic thesis I have with bitcoin today. Lesson learned: never stop DCA'ing especially when you're gut is uncomfortable with the price action.
I used a paper-wallet with address re-use from 2013-2017. Ooph. Dodged a bullet here - could have had a compromised private key.
I bought ETH. I started listening to all the hype how ETH was so much technolgically better than bitcoin. Ooph. Fortunately I dumped it and did well. Started really fortifying the economic and technical theory for bitcoin.
BCH fork wars. Followed it closely. Post fork I was genuinely scared I made the wrong decision. Further fortified the case for bitcoin and against forks. Thank you Roger for the extra bitcoin.
Moved from a single Ledger setup to a multi-sig collaborative custody setup with Casa. Too expensive. Dumped them.
Moved to Unchained. Multi-sig, multi-vendor, open source. Perfect.
I am fortunate to this day that i have never sold a single-sat. I've exchanged for a few minor things here and there over time but never decided to start selling because I am very comfortable living below my means and securing a better future for my daughter and family.
Things I am doing right today: DCA daily. Strong custody.
Things I need to work on and things i still lose sleep over: better non-KYC stacking strategy, more clear pathway for inheritance.
Maybe it's just me but i absolutely love the shakeout right now. Maximum pain for all the shitcoins and ponzi's.
Get it yet, fiat cultists?
bitcoiners will have the last laugh
So you’re telling me you denominate your wealth in a currency that can only exist by constantly devaluing itself through inflation? lulz 
It's pretty comical seeing people on bird-site complain about XYZ reasons why they won't use Nostr. Meanwhile, they sit in a walled garden controlled by daddy Elon who is desperately driving the platform towards a global platform for identity, banking, social etc.. They will sit there and feed Elon their data and eyeballs meanwhile complaining the open source, upgradable, non-KYC platform isn't yet perfect for their needs. But we all know why they aren't here yet.. They influencers primarily concerned only about themselves and maintaining their audience.
Thinking about starting the Sats Walker ranch. Going to be observing some paranormal fiat behavior through the lens of bitcoin. Will report back with findings

Consider a micro-dosing approach to introducing people to bitcoin. Most people aren't ready to take the orange pill right away. Give them small doses of positive, relatable touchpoints with bitcoin.
Bro I made $0.06 last week by shitposting what did X pay him?
I need an AI bot that will endlessly talk to scam callers. I just want to DOS them with bullshit to consume all of their time

Bitcoin consumes at least 50% of my “free thinking” time. At times it feels like I have a borderline mental illness / stockholm syndrome. I can’t escape it because I can’t find any better answers than what bitcoin presents.
The juxtaposition of interests with the state vs bitcoin etf seem underrated. I know there is a lot of hopium with the etf but the state interest to deny it is also so strong. If the US is going to approve an ETF they should also have a position to hedge national interest and I just don’t see it. Maybe this is simply out of touch bureaucrats completely unprepared to deal with a once in a life time event or….
