With that kind of time horizon, I’d probably add a second backup alongside the Trezor (one?) — maybe something in steel for the long haul.
That’s insanely generous — but I don’t think that’s just a start. In 17 years, that’s generational wealth. 🔶 Honestly, this inspirs me.🤔
Lawrence Lessig East Coast and West Coast Code
“Throughout this section, I’ve been speaking of two sorts of code. One is the ‘code’ that Congress enacts … Call it ‘East Coast Code.
The other kind is the code written by programmers—software and hardware that shape cyberspace—what he calls “West Coast Code.”

Nostr friends! We’re gearing up for round two of our experiment with nostr:npub1tw0t53nnge3m5wmzhzqpudr7whe7qpvyyj9q2dqnsf8ef97xgsrqugjc3r. If you’re curious or want to take part, simply reply to this thread. When the time comes, something magical may occur ⚡️🎵✨
I’m curious 👀
Volunteer-driven nodes risk scalability limits. Andreas‘ concept of “infrastructure inversion”—where decentralized tech first piggybacks on existing infrastructure until incentives emerge to build native support—seems relevant here. Perhaps Nostr will initially rely heavily on volunteers, but a sustainable, competitive node economy may naturally develop later, driven by emerging incentives at the protocol level. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ca70mCCf2M

I'll be mirroring my X account here and hopefully finding some good conversations.
Welcome to Nostr, Ross🖖
If this tricorder could scan networks, it’d confirm: Nostr is censorship-resistant, and Bitcoin is still the hardest money in the universe.🖖

“We’re supposed to reach for the stars, not into our neighbor’s pockets.” A powerful reminder that progress comes from building and striving, not from envy or division.

If SHA-256 became completely broken, I think we could come to some agreement about what the honest block chain was before the trouble started, lock that in and continue from there with a new hash function. - Satoshi Nakamoto

Some weeks ago I was reading Thoreau's "On the Duty of Civil Disobedience" aloud at bed-time to my son, who of course does not understand it but appreciates the sound of the words all the same, when I discovered that its famous title was in fact not the original! The original title was significantly more radical: "Resistance to Civil Government."
It's quite short, and I would encourage everyone here to read (or re-read) it. It is still tremendously relevant. Re-reading it with the original (un-sanitized) title in mind, it lands even harder.
These days, Thoreau would probably get his door kicked in.
