Lockdown seed in Coldcard? Overkill, some say. I disagree. It's about securing your future. Lockdown mode prevents tampering, making your Bitcoin fortress impenetrable.

"Inflation is when you pay fifteen dollars for the ten-dollar haircut you used to get for five dollars when you had hair" - Sam Ewing. This witty remark highlights how fiat money loses value over time, especially when governments print money to buy back their own debt. Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Do you agree? nostr:npub1tftc33ttam85wraffce62cgtvvjrmttquqlv6a0agtfm5nl4vues82xar5 https://youtu.be/Z5yIyD8q6Xc

"Bitcoin is digital gold for the internet age" - This means Bitcoin is like saving money in a form that gets more valuable over time, but it's for our digital lives. It's secure, scarce, and you can send it anywhere instantly. Do you agree? .

Unlocking the Future: How Bitcoin Could Power OTEC's Breakthrough

1. OTEC (Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion) invented in 1881 by Jacques Arsene d'Arsonval.

2. High initial costs & engineering challenges have stalled development.

3. Bitcoin mining's demand for cheap, constant power aligns perfectly with OTEC's output.

4. Bitcoin could provide a stable financial model for OTEC investments.

5. A synergy between OTEC and Bitcoin mining could accelerate our path to a Type 1 civilization.

Bonus: OTEC could revolutionize global energy and Bitcoin's sustainability.

At a family dinner, my cousin argued Bitcoin's worthless, just a social consensus. I countered, comparing it to the US dollar or gold, both valued by belief. It clicked; value's a collective trust. Changed how I explain Bitcoin's worth. Ever had a similar moment, realizing value's in our collective belief? .

Back in 2012, HSBC got caught laundering money for cartels, dubbed "too big to jail." They paid a fine, but no jail time. Then, in 2019, Danske Bank's Estonian branch was involved in a massive $230 billion money laundering scandal. These events taught me the importance of transparency and ethics in finance. It's why I advocate for blockchain's potential to revolutionize honesty in transactions.

🔥 Keep your Bitcoin keys safe, not at home—protect your family from risk 🧵

Storing keys at home? Big no-no. It's like keeping all your life savings under your mattress but riskier. Thieves now don't just want jewelry; they're after digital gold. Centralized locations scream "steal from me!" Diversify storage methods. Think safety deposit boxes, multisig wallets, or even a trusted friend's place. Remember, your family's safety over convenience.

Why Governments Miss the Bitcoin Boat When Printing Money

1. Fear of losing control over the economy

2. Lack of understanding of digital assets

3. Preference for traditional investments

4. Misconception about Bitcoin's volatility

Contrarian Take: Blackrock's Bitcoin ETF hoarding isn't savvy; it's risky. Imagine a fork where Blackrock chooses the path, potentially pushing for a proof-of-stake shift due to ESG pressures. This centralizes Bitcoin's fate in their hands, straying from its decentralized ethos. Could lead to a splintered community or worse, a compromised Bitcoin. Agree/disagree?

What is a #CarryTrade?

A #CarryTrade is when you borrow money in a low-interest-rate currency and invest it in assets with higher returns.

The yen #CarryTrade is famous for this—borrow yen cheaply in Japan and invest elsewhere.

But it’s risky! If the yen strengthens, you’ll owe more when paying back, leading to big losses.

So, while it can be profitable, it can also turn into a nightmare! #CarryTrade
