Happy halving! 🙏🏽 🙌

Finally got around to watching killers of the flower moon.

It’s a masterpiece.

One of Scorsese’s best films.

Definitely check it out if you haven’t already.

Some real good eats this weekend while on daddy duty 🤠🌞🥩🤙🏽

Do you have any open channels? You should be able to close them and the funds will go back to the wallet that set them up.

That post could have been written by me. I had a lovely experience of high fees and offline channels. Switched over to just using Mutiny a few months ago and shut down my node.

Bitcoin needs its "Ossify Now" cadre as much as it needs it "Add Bells and Whistles" cadre and all the other knuckleheads in between. The contentiousness of the relationships ensure that neither side ever gets everything and progress is slow and purposeful.

That said the folks maintaining Bitcoin Core, Knots, btcd, etc. deserve to be funded. Funding though should truly have no strings attached to it.

Thx for sharing 😊

I currently find it difficult to give people just one signer to recommend for their life savings. Even though multivendor multisig can be a real challenge, especially for people who don't want to deal with it

Yes its perfect for those people

The crazy bitcoin security side of me can’t really use bitkey in its current state but damn it’s cool and easy to use. Feels like a more streamlined version of nunchuk. I wish it was a bit more transparent. Right now it’s completely opaque, you can’t see the multisig wallet descriptor. The rock could just be a fancy blinking light with for all i know.

It’s clearly an all-in-one solution. It doesn’t seem that it’s intended to be used as a standalone signer. I would totally use it if I could use it that way. Maybe thats coming in the future.

Right now you have to trust that the on-device key, bitkey, and their server is all securely separated. The whole point of multisig to me is to have compartmentalized trust, but bitkey seems to be using it mainly as a recovery scheme if you lose your device, since there is no seed phrase import step

I was at least able to verify that it is using multisig, but was only able to by sending a transaction, otherwise it’s all a black box and I have to trust them.

One thing you can’t deny is that if you trust that they have implemented everything the right way, it’s a very slick and simple solution for most people.

Would I recommend this for people looking to store their life savings? Probably not, at least not until it becomes more transparent.

I have always had a favorable view of tokenization of assets. If done correctly, couldn't it remove trusted middlemen from the proof of ownership and transacting of assets like stocks or even real estate? What am I missing?

Wealth is important and necessary, but I’ve met far too many rich people who are unhappy.

Usually because in the pursuit of wealth they neglected their health or relationships. Sometimes both.

You should strive to max all three of these variables as best you can.

If I was to give life advice to someone just starting out in life, I’d say prioritize your health in middle school, high school and college. Focus on eating right and getting in amazing shape. You’ll build the habits that will carry you through the rest of your life and you’ll look your best during the years when dating and sex matter a lot. Providing you more ability to find a high quality life partner, because long term high trust relationships are crucial for sustained happiness contentment etc…

Then in early adulthood go hard on the pursuit of wealth. Your twenties are the time to work your ass off and put yourself in position to own your time down the line. Better to give up 5-10 years now and own the next 30, rather than goof off in your twenties and end up stuck as a wage slave for 30 years. Save and invest aggressively, take risks, embrace sacrifice. Allow your peers to make fun of you, knowing you have a plan. Let compounding work for you.

Retire in your 30’s sometime around the time you’re starting your family and spend the rest of your life devoted to your kids, spouse and interests. Refocusing all efforts on health and happiness. Don’t take a single action unless it brings you more in either of those dimensions, while simultaneously tending to and growing the wealth you built up to this point.

People think for whatever reason that this sort of life path is not attainable, but it’s very much within the reach of the average college educated westerner. Most just have a defeatist mindset, which ultimately lead them in the wrong direction.
