What's the scam?

It's never late to stop a mistake

Another public co starts a Bitcoin Treasury strategy.

my dad still pays his credit cards by driving to the post office and mailing checks ... (he hates apps and websites, I've tried.. )

but he has Bitcoin in cold storage

makes me laugh every time I think about it

Having a family member on hospice is the worst kind of limbo. Especially when it’s towards the end end and every time the phone makes a noise, it’s like heart-stopping.

I’m just waiting for the call. Could be in 5 minutes, could be in 3 days, but it feels like everything is on pause.

I live in the Southern part of Costa Rica in Playa Dominical

Apparently I made it to 1000 notes on nostr 😊

Here's for another thousand 🥂🥂🥂

Merry Christmas 🎄💜🫂

Amazing. Why are they doing it? Is there reward associated with the object being on the right side?

What’s the simplest and safest way for Frankie MacDonald to store his BTC?

1) He only responds when he’s interested

2) He is using an old Well Wallet (formerly Rise Wallet) that’s been depreciated and I haven’t been able to convince him to move to a new wallet yet.

3) I tried to get him on lightning & nostr and he didn’t engage. Maybe too complicated.

4) He knows not to give anyone his seed phrase nor tell anyone how much BTC he has.

Are we at the point where it’s safe to setup a fedimint to onboard friends and family to Bitcoin?

I love giving away sats but I really don’t like “wasting” sats.

At least with a fedi instance you can recover people’s coins easily and when they’re ready they can withdraw them into their own custody without your help.

The problem with uncle Jim mode is it doesn’t scale with the amount of time and energy you need to spend with everyone when they have questions.

I want to be able to onboard thousands of people in a way that I know they are not going to lose their keys or their seed phrase.

It seems like with a fedi instance you can give like Santa and save like Scrooge.

"Bitcoin isn't real! It has no intrinsic value!"

It's really REALLY hard to believe that people who have shifted from physical mail to email; physical media to digital media services; from paychecks to ACH transactions...somehow can't get their head around that intrinsic value can be something you can't physically paw.

Stop shitcoining. Use Bitcoin. If Bitcoin is too slow for you, use Lightning. If Lightning is too unreliable for you, use Ecash.

Just stop goddamnit. Nobody cares about your ridiculous shitcoin and you're wasting your precious life.
