not sure they should reveal that publicly 🧐

I don’t leave the house and we built a fortress with dogs and firearms 😂

I’m getting blow dart situation in the near future and I’m gonna infuse the darts with an extreme amount of LSD.

concealed carry, multi sig, and a big husband lol

OH and the fact that I only got in in 2021 hahahaha 🥹

There are lots of ways to address this, many of which you have named. Thinking about the specific scenarios that worry you most and then being prepared goes a long way towards peace of mind. Whether that’s carrying a firearm, having excellent self defense skills, using a multi-location multi-device multisig, or stepping up your privacy efforts.

We all know it’s a spectrum and you get out the amount of work that you put in. Lately life has been keeping me too busy for the kind of bitcoin work I was able to previously do but I also find it funny that bitcoin is largely just not cool to normies 😆 Those two things have me laying somewhat low these days, and when I do engage with people they usually are already into bitcoin. The more I do this, the less of a desire I have to shout my love for bitcoin on rooftops 😆 I mean, at the end of the day we’re all hoping for a hyperbitcoinization world right? Where everyone is a bitcoiner and it’s so normal that it’s boring to talk about! Thanks for the tag!

Everybody is Satoshi (except CSW)

“Thanks for picking that up for me! I will Venmo you the money.”

“Oh I don’t have Venmo but I can do bitcoin, CashApp, or PayPal”

*radio silence*

Even if bitcoin has world-class UX, I’m not sure if we’ll ever see widespread adoption until we can figure out how to release the absolute chokehold Venmo has on people, especially millennials.

CashApp may not be self custody but at least I can live my bitcoin life if someone uses it to send me money. Venmo has normalized digital payments so much that it’s changed how people behave and has become a verb. Nobody bothers to split bills anymore and they have stopped carrying cash. Why? Because they “can just Venmo you”.

I can see stack overflow error happening in real time when I tell my friends I don’t have Venmo because I don’t believe they created the social feature in good conscience and think it’s an awful thing for Venmo to try and normalize the destruction of financial privacy. Yes, you can now make transactions private, even if it’s not the default. No, I don’t care. I’m dying in this hill. I don’t want to link my fiat ass bank account to ANOTHER system when PayPal, which owns Venmo does the exact same thing. And you know what? People have been using PayPal since the dawn of the Internet 2.0. You already have it! And if I’m going to use a newer, mobile, digital payment solution, it’s going to be CashApp because at least I can turn that money you owe me into bitcoin, which is what I actually prefer you pay me back in. To add to that, Block and Jack Dorsey have done so much for the Bitcoin ecosystem. Of course I want to support CashApp!

In my experience the hierarchy is:

1. Venmo

2. Zelle

3. Cash (middle ground for “you don’t want to set up CashApp? Weird because I don’t want to set up Venmo!”)

4. “I’ll get your lunch next time”

5. MAYBE PayPal or CashApp

6. Not getting your money back

7. bitcoin

So what do I want? Obviously the Bitcoin Standard, but if I can’t have that I want to make cash great again and more people using bitcoin compatible payment solutions.

I encourage everyone to join me in a crusade of maximum pain for anyone trying to use something that is not this. We all deserve better! A win-win would be if Venmo integrated bitcoin so then all my Venmo using friends could transact with whoever they wish, using a free and open monetary protocol.

For starters it would probably help if I was more often in the scenario of needing to pay people back instead of the other way around…

Imagine trusting people who think it’s acceptable to add something to our water systems that lowers the IQ of children to do what’s best for your health and safety.

Bitaxe enjoyers, what's your frequency and voltage?

I feel as if you must remain guarded, unless you feel 100% sure your audience has your best interests at heart. Satoshi was brilliant in his anonymity. Can you imagine if he had not, what danger would ever be upon his and his family’s doorstep? I love the courage, legendary leadership, and bold profile of our trailblazers, and yet I harbor concern for them also. But no one set sail for anywhere by standing upon the shoreline.

Only have access to a small stack on your person or in your home. This has the benefit of protecting others, because if this is the norm, then there is no point in a physical attack. Hide part of your recovery (multisig) in a jewellery box in a safety deposit box, or somewhere secure that someone can't take you to with a gun to your head.

The people who are most keen to see the price rise, and are the most vocal advocates, went in at 58k last cycle and need to see it keep going up.

Of course to each their own, but I’m surprised I don’t see more folks mention dogs. If I was publicly well known I’d have at least one Belgian Malinois that went everywhere with the family and I for sure.

Then you wait haha

28 days is overkill but somewhere between a day and a week can be very effective

Thanks for addressing this salient issue…for those who are hanging ten on the #bitcoin orange wave, and those of us who care about their well-being.

Its not yours anymore 🤣
