I’m not aware of the technical differences but this is pretty damn funny 😂😂😂
Somebody mentioned to my wife having a decent chunk of their savings into bitcoin.
She asked what his cold storage device of choice was.
Response: “I just use Coinbase”
Education around self custody is still lagging behind.
We can change this.
I recently learned that even the most logical arguments can (and often do) fail to change someone’s mind.
I have officially retired from the sport of convincing others. I had a solid run.
Time to mind my own business!
A wise man once recommended to get some just “in case it catches on”
This should be the norm.
Companies selling poison labeled as food should be held accountable.
Seed oils, baby formula, and so on.
First time below $1,000 sats/$ in a while! #bitcoin

Bitcoin is moving from a commodity that a small group of people value, to a globally adopted store of value, to a globally accepted medium of exchange and a globally used unit of account.
It has to go through these phases in that order. That’s how money worked historically.

Boomers/ early Gen X.
It’s the generation that’s both at the realm of political power AND refuses to understand how the internet protocol actually works.
You can’t blame zoomers for the world they were born into.
Late genexers and millenials are working to turn things around.
This is a difficult conversation. I disagree with the decision to merge the Bitcoin Core pull request that removes OP_RETURN limits, especially given the ongoing controversy around it. Fortunately, I have options. I can choose not to upgrade or migrate elsewhere, such as to nostr:nprofile1qqsg3mj8tuxhxvy5w0qt9altpgcrqttdfxg9glvsdfhkpa3plcxfudgpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7qgawaehxw309ahx7um5wghxy6t5vdhkjmn9wgh8xmmrd9skctckum9s8.
Just listened to nostr:nprofile1qqsd0uazmzmhwseeym3rjhf3txyjapreapc6sq8yq8cy07cg45tlx2cpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv9uqsuamnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0dshs0a5f4g episode with nostr:npub1xapjgsushef5wwn78vac6pxuaqlke9g5hqdfjlanky3uquh0nauqx0cnde.
My main question is: Why does it sound like the Core side doesn’t care what the Knots side has to say about this matter? It seems like the Core side is being condescending while the Knots side is appealing to some emotional and stands on principle.
From my Pov: I thought the default was the status quo, and the burden of proof lays on the group who submits the PR. I’m not picking sides, just trying to understand this matter. Ultimately we all lose if we fail bitcoin.

Derek, what makes this a difficult conversation? I understand the choice to run knots, and I do run knots too based on principle.
Why does it sound like the Core side doesn’t care what the Knots side has to say about this matter?
Also, given rough consensus hasn’t been reached, why do Core devs still push the software update?
I thought the default was the status quo, and the burden of proof lays on the group who submits the PR.
Does anyone in this space know where or why or even if Andreas Antonopoulos disappeared? Please fill me in if I’m missing something
I agree my friend. The point of my joke assumed Odell is raising them to be sovereign.

They’re sovereign children: they choose the bitcoin implementation they want to run
I want to help people around me onboard into bitcoin. I want to help empower them, show them how simple it is to opt out of fiat and be truly sovereign. I’m passionate about this.
I thought being in wealth mgmt would be a stepping stone, but the more I talk to people in the industry the more I realized they’re unaware of what’s on the horizon.
I’m going to bootstrap this and start my own thing.

Sat down with a financial advisor today as I’m trying to pivot from my current career path. Respectable, honest man trying to do good for his clients. He and his team manage ~$900 million.
Mentioned Bonds & treasuries a dozen times
NVDA, Google and S&P ~5 times each
Forex/currency market twice
Not once did he bring up gold or bitcoin, or even crypto for that matter.
When I asked about his outlook on the next 12-24 months and what he sees as the biggest challenges: he answered “making sure I’m there when people ring up the phone to ask why the markets are down”…
We are still early.
Very early

Meanwhile I’m still trying to have it build my first website 😅
