I just had the pleasure of testing a brand new JADEPLUS hardware wallet (courtesy of @nprofile…6av2) and I'm deeply impressed.
The setup was such a breeze that my 11 year old daughter was able to complete it in less than 15 minutes, unassisted. Including 2FA multisig.
We then set up watch-only credentials so my wife and I can track the kids' accounts with ease through the Green wallet app.
Yet I was really struck by the versatility. Power-users will find this device as satisfying as your grandma will. Without any clutter.
The solid buttons, big beautiful screen, and stable connection are also big improvements from my experience with the original JADE.
If I can find a drawback it's that one of the buttons, while solid, was less responsive than the others, causing minor navigation errors.
Bravo to the @nprofile…6av2 team. 9/10 would recommend.

For the $MSTR people, help me out with some stupid questions:
As I understand it, the $MSTR strategy ends when fiat is worth the same as sea shells and no one will sell their Bitcoin to @npub15dq…lm5m for them anymore.
What I'm not clear about is how to convert $MSTR to Bitcoin at that point? Or even leading up to that point? Why would anyone part with their Bitcoin after the strategy is played out?
And if those holding $MSTR then can't offload their stock for Bitcoin, yet $MSTR holds vast amounts of Bitcoin it will never sell, will that make $MSTR a currency?
Is $MSTR the Amsterdam Wisselbank of Bitcoin? Could it inflate the supply by issuing stock? Is this how Bitcoin becomes the reserve for a new fiat called $MSTR?
Perhaps these are moronic questions, but I'd love some serious answers 🙏

I REFUSE TO LET US FORGET this woman's incredible courage.
So in honor of the brave women of Iran, I translated one of my favorite poems to English.
This is 'THE BEST' by Nordahl Grieg:
«Death burns like Thor's lightning;
Clearer we see than before
each life in its white pain:
it is the best of us who go.
The strong, the pure of heart
who wanted and dared the most;
calmly they bid us farewell,
as one by one journeyed west.
The living rules this world;
a herd will always remain,
the indispensable clever,
life's second best (wo)men.
The best are murdered in prison,
swept away by bullets and sea.
The best will never be our future.
The best are busy being free.
Thus we honor them, with apathy,
with all the emptiness we know,
but then we betray the best of us,
when we bitterly let them go.
They don't want our sorrow,
but to live with courage and faith.
Only in the hearts of the daring
the blood of the fallen remains.
Is not each one who knew them
richer than the dead ever were –
for (wo)men have had them as friends
and children have had them as parents
They raised the life they left.
In new (wo)men they haunt us again.
On their graves shall be written:
The best will ALWAYS remain.»

I don't want to pretend like I'm unreservedly happy right now.
I organized Scandinavia's first #Bitcoin conference and fucked up the budget really bad. Got depressed and stupidly found brief comfort in drugs. Having suddenly lost so many hard earned sats I had held for years made it feel like nothing mattered anymore. Before I knew it, I had wasted what little I had left in a self-destructive spiral. I will never be able to earn them back and I still wake up with a panic attack every few nights. My kids keep me going, but also racked with guilt 😔
I'll never stop stackin' though and I'm never spending another sat in my life!

I see the analogy but I think it's a bit more complex when people are actually dying right now and there is no clear path, or even any path, to a Ukrainian victory (defined as return of territories). Should the shopowner keep fighting the shoplifter or let hin go and focus on improving his security for next time? And yes, I understand that you'll say the shoplifter will be encouraged to return, so it won't increase future security, but it might still be the best bet. I haven't personally concluded on this but I'm more pragmatic than you'd probably appreciate. I still appreciate you though 🧡

My only caveat is that light is excruciatingly slow if you want 10 minute block times. Will force much longer block times or a chain split. The latter seems more likely, in which case each planet may have their own version of #Bitcoin. The value of each version would then depend on planetary productivity and interplanetary convertability.

Whatever your wildest prediction for #Bitcoin, you're wrong. $1M $10M or $100M doesn't matter.
The dollar value will continue to trend towards infinity for as long as the dollar continues to inflate, which is for infinity until fiat dies.
The purchasing power will trend towards infinity for as long as economic potential grows, which is for infinity until humanity dies.
On the latter point I might add that we look likely to add another planet to our economy soon.

Warning ⚠️ All successful countries eventually fail because they don't welcome change.
When change nonetheless inevitably occurs, they try to stop it instead of adapting to it.
So in a world where capital and people are more mobile than ever, they try to lock them in.
When what they should be doing is trying to attract them with lower taxes and better services.
That's why Norway and the Netherlands will lose this century, while El Salvador is facing a bright future.
