I like it, follow your passion.

I have a well paid but soul sucking fiat mining job that I don't really care for. Given Bitcoin price action, might soon be feasible for me to retire early, take a sabbatical, or pivot to something more meaningful but less well compensated.

Has anyone else done or considered this? Would love to hear others thoughts/experiences.

Adrenaline rush.

Leave team blue and team red and join team orange!

Agreed!

GM frens!

Bitcoiners are my people. Need to find some bitcoiner friends IRL. My local community is severely lacking though, so may be kinda tricky.

Suggestions?

I believe that gender affirming care for minor constitutes child abuse. Trans people are mostly mentally ill and heavily influenced by social pressure/acceptance.

Thank goodness for freedom communication and anon profile, because if the wrong people knew I said that could easily get me fired from my profession.

I support Trump for US president, just for the comedic value. And to watch the trump derangement crowd lose their minds.

Shitcoins doing shitcoin things.

Spend less than you earn. Save the difference in Bitcoin.

Exercise.

Eat wholesome food.

Bask in the sun.

Spend time with loved ones.

See the beauty of the people and the world around you.

Give to those less fortunate.

Contribute to a cause you believe in.

Diversification of the future will refer to using different forms of Bitcoin key management to keep your stack secure.

So, where my feds at?

We should organize a tax boycott. That plus adopting bitcoin defunds the psycho war criminals in charge of our nations.

Think of it like email. Anyone who knows your email address can send you a message, but you're the only one with the password to unlock the account and read the emails or send emails to other people from that account.

Bitcoin is similar. The public address is like your email address. Anyone who knows it and wants to send you bitcoin can send it to your public address. You would then have control over any bitcoin in that address to spend at a later time using your private key.

For example, I buy bitcoin from an exchange and decide to withdraw to self custody. I tell the exchange the public address to send the bitcoin to, they then broadcast a transaction to the network which gets included in the blockchain, giving me ownership of the bitcoin I bought from them.

Short answer, you don't need one to have cold storage, only to send the coins out of cold storage securely.

You can generate a valid bitcoin address entirely offline using an entropy source (coin toss, dice roll, etc.) to generate a private key then paper/pencil to do the math to generate a public address from the private key.

Save forever or until you desire to pay for something of great value to you or your family. Fuck the fiat gains mindset.

One can hope.

It worked! Much appreciated!

Just lost my ENTIRE list of people I follow whilst I was clicking on new people to follow. This happen to anyone else?
