You have just perfectly articulated the Vimes Boots Theory of unfairness
With family, and friends. Reading, lifting, writing, eating steak. Obviously I wouldn't force the rest of them to join in, I'm a libertarian.
OMG thank you so much for this. One of the best videos since the invention of the film camera, surely.
I used to read Word Up! Magazine

I want people to offend and disgust me. Rage shows me I am alive. How do you think I feel when I see the horrendous visage of the monstrous Augustin Carstens claiming BIS has won the battle against Bitcoin?
I've beeb trying to zap someone fpr twenty minutes, this is humiliating. Thank God I wasn't demonstrating thr awesomeness of Lightning to a nocoiner.
This is a great article by Arman the Parman (all round Bitcoin legend and general chad maniac) on the stages to self custody: https://armantheparman.com/bitcoin-storage-get-better/
Seriously, don't stress and take it step by step. It took me a long time to get comfortable (I originally held my BTC simply in the Bitcoin Core full node wallet on my desktop😅). Just take the first step to self custody by using a non-custodial wallet with a BIP39 seed phrase (write it down, don't take a pic or screenshot, keep the phrase offline and off any digital media). Secure the phrase ideally in a minimum of two safe places, under your control. Then get used to using the non-custodial hot wallet before you take the next step. Someone in the thread recommended Green - that is a solid option too.
Muun wallet is good advice as it is self-custodial (although it uses a different back up and restore method from the BIP 39 words that you may already know. TBF, if you are worried about having your stack in a hot wallet, then I strongly recommend getting a hardware wallet, and learning how to use it with small amounts first. Trezor and Ledger both decent for your first (there are more hard core options, but look at those later!). A Trezor will be very good opsec for the vast majority of hodlers and using one will dramatically increase your security. Keep small amounts in your WOS for zapping!
Hey, sorry to hear that #[1] . I sympathize but I don't know how much useful advice I can offer as it's 20 years since I left uni, and I am STILL bad at managing stress. Perhaps all I can say is that this will pass and one day you won't be able to remember what you were stressed about; the stress is your reaction to something and not the thing itself. Good luck - try getting outside and away from your phone. Kind of helps me....
Don't miss it!!!!!
PV! A great start to the day - separate notifications that a huge order of beef and a Bitcoin miner are on their way to me. Sadly not both ordered from the same place (but that would be an epic retailer if so)
I treasure those early sats.
Reposted! Ordered one last year - customer service updated me it should be dispatched any day
Not in the US, no - where they are at school, there seems to have been a drive to go back to a few of the more rigorous ways of teaching (eg they are actually taught a lot of grammar and elementary mathematics, which is pleasing)
My kids are ten and eight, and they're learning cursive at school. I also write in cursive, with a fountain pen, but my writing is so bad it's essentially a crime against humanity.
Oh that's brilliant! Thanks for the heads up
It's appreciated - no need to zap but thank you!
