The timing could not be better for the release of this podcast. This is how Bitcoin should be. Nuanced. Pros and cons. Eliminate or minimize dogma.

Interesting scenario. One of our members transferred BTC from an exchange to their cold storage. However, the wallet showed a zero balance which made them anxious that they somehow lost all of their BTC. Fortunately, later in the day the wallet showed the expected balance. I suspect this was a server outage as their wallet would be run by someone else’s server. No risk of loss but definitely risk that someone else’s server could be down. This could be alleviated by running your own personal server and node.
Really interesting podcast.
Join us for meetup tonight 6 to 8 pm. Note the different location for meetup tonight (hopefully back to Sunflower next month).
We’ll have a presentation on hot and cold storage.

Interesting debate.
It would take 31,709 years to count one trillion seashells if you counted one seashell per second. (That’s 1,046,397 years to count 33 trillion seashells at a rate of one seashell per second AND 6,341,800 years to count 200 trillion seashells at a rate of one seashell per second.)

Awesome multisig tutorial!
We’re going to discuss hot versus cold solutions to custody at our next meetup. This Guy Swann post really solidifies what they discussed on Cafe Bitcoin recently (check out discussion prior to 1 hour 20 minutes). Basically, get really good at your bitcoin only hardware device. Check in and learn more about your device annually. Maybe this will make you do something totally different or maybe you learn simple tricks to make your signing device use more secure without doing complex things. Pros and cons to all things. Start simple with self custody of 24 words. Consider avoiding safe deposit boxes. Don’t split your seed (rather, do a multisig if you really need to separate the components for estate planning purposes).

The discussion (from minutes 20 to 50) be nostr:npub1mz704n7dsaw3jcj3kr5le45n97tqughyt5lxe3yv3xy3025hv3dsp5tl8g , Nate, and @Alex is awesome! It’s the discussion that our entire country should be having. It amazes me to see bitcoiners (lucidly) seeing society from this perspective.
I was flabbergasted the first time I saw bitcoiners discussing things like diet (and exercise and pretty much everything thing else!) in a way that I knew to be true. Not in a generic way, like “stop eating so much and go for a walk and you won’t be fat.” Rather, with an understanding that the real scam has been decades of fat free diet propaganda brought us diets deficient in protein and helped society get fat and undermuscled. Muscle that could have been used to combat metabolic syndrome. Now, “climate science” seeks to demonize protein as another nail in the coffin of humanity.
These sort of things only helped orange pill me further and further as I realized that bitcoiners are individuals who scrutinize the world and seek truth. This broad degree of scrutiny makes it much less likely that bitcoiners are wrong about their conviction for this thing that can make the world a better place.
