Bitcoin is permissionless money
Bitcoiners telling other bitcoiners what to do, or not do, with their money will never stopping being the most retarded and hilarious shit ever
What part of permissionless money are you not understanding?

The thing about trade-offs ..
If you haven't identified trade-off you are making, then you probably shouldn’t be taking what looks like a shortcut
The goal is informed choices, where trade-offs are understood
Understand the trade-offs → Own the consequences/outcome.

"Seeing Ross walk free under an open sky" was one of my objective criteria for "Bitcoin has succeeded" many years back
Honestly, I thought it was the one that would be fulfilled later
Happy and emotional to see Ross walk free under an open sky 🧡
Thankful that https://freeross.org/donate/ has setup new donation capability to help Ross quietly restart life in his own time. Grateful for boltz.exchange for being able to send massive fucking zap that converts into on-chain corn for Ross
Now give the man some space and time with family
Bitcoiners do not forget their own.

Degrees of crazy i guess .. spoken to a lot of Bitcoiners who all say: I wish i stacked harder earlier

2024-12-17 18:58:18

Savings and spending
Savings are the store of excess you create against future uncertainty
Bitcoin is the ultimate savings tool
As Bitcoin goes through this crazy monetisation process, those savings get turbo-charged
Many will find themselves with new and previously unimaginable choices open to them, and to their families and their communities
This is where spending comes in
Should you have excess savings - beyond your definition of “enough” - then you can now make meaningful change to those lives you care most about
Fundamentally you need to search and find what matters to you, and what change you can make in the world, once you’re making decisions without regard to financial impact
This is a significant mindset shift
The mantra of “never sell your bitcoin” has a useful meme half-life of two cycles: the first where you are still learning what Bitcoin is, and the second where you’re stacking like a crazy person
After that, be extremely cautious of those screaching “never sell your bitcoin” at you - they most likely have a product for you
There is NO borrowing without risking your collateral
In the end .. exactly what part of “permissionless money” are some of these folks not getting?

2024-12-17 01:04:47

Beware your ego trap
One of the best bits of advice i received as a young software developer was:
“it is amazing how much you can achieve if you don’t care who gets the credit”
Never were truer words spoken
Resonated then, and as a Bitcoiner even more so. Figure out what your mission is. Focus on *it*. Think hard about your ego and don’t let it run the show
Remain humble 🤝

2024-12-16 11:14:47

Grateful to y’all
One of the most subtly beatiful things Bitcoin brings is other Bitcoiners from all across the planet
I’m so grateful for the many I’ve met and know who’ve challenged me, taught me, argued with me, corrected me, helped and guided me .. and the many I’ve had the pleasure to laugh and drink and eat and talk with
If you’re a Bitcoiner who hasn’t met other Bitcoiners yet, consider doing so as the rewards are vast

One of the core features is that there are no "operators" .. that is the very purpose of decentralised open protocol designs.
Filtering to ignore the posts and people and organisations that provide you no information or value is a simple method. Cultivating those that you follow or interact with carefully is a very close second.
No level of censorship - which is ultimately what you're talking about - is possible without centralised control. One of your countrymen wrote a novel about that dystopian future scenario which is probably a good primer read.
So a question for you:
.. on what basis do you decide what is "acceptable"?

Storing #bitcoin and thinking about duration
"Optical media rots, magnetic media rots and loses magnetic charge, bearings seize, flash storage loses charge, etc .. ..
Entropy wins, sometimes much faster than you’d expect." Ars Technica
Storing your #bitcoin keys on electronic media necessitates that you periodically test/validate that it is still usable. Collaborative security platforms make this part of their operational protocol; if you're holding your own keys, so should you.
Think more about which parts of your stack you are expecting to keep, and for how long.
The longer the time horizon is, the less complexity you want in that storage setup. Or alternatively, if you are using electronic mechanisms (hardware devices, usb keys etc), then you want to test those periodically (quarterly-annually), and move to new mechanisms as old ones become dubious.

Brazil directs VPN apps to be removed from appstores
"Justice Moraes issued multiple orders on Friday. In the first, he also ordered Apple and Google to prevent downloads of X as well as popular VPN apps." NYTimes
This little nugget is the more relevant and dangerous action to come out of the Brazil-v-Twitter spat going on right now - the Brazilian judge has ordered the major appstores to remove VPN products
This is a direct attack on digital privacy & security for all Brazilians
VPNs are one of those basic tools that everyone should be using to assist their privacy; removing access to these tools is a clear and repressive action from the Brazilian regime
Do not make the mistake of thinking that other nation states are not watching this action closely to determine how easy it will be to add that particular action to their arsenal for <reason> in the future
