Jameson Lopp on nostr

It's disheartening to see so much Bitcoin discourse saying that institutional custodians are the safest way to store bitcoin, but then again I already knew that most people are lazy statist cucks with little appreciation for privacy and freedom.

Where are the optimistic Bitcoiners? Is there anyone left actually optimistic about growing human freedom with software?

The lazy framing misses it. The real institutional customer is licensed, insured, and incentivized to never let you withdraw during 'stress events.' Self-custody isn't paranoia — it's the only setup where 'not your keys' actually costs you.

Its you who are the shitcoiners cuck SLopp. No privacy and freedom can be achieved with shitcoins like Ethereum which is your goal to turn Spamcoin into.

speaking of statism... "Casa Financial, LLC is registered with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) as a Money Services Business."

Technically Institutions aren’t the state.

Often the loudest voices are actually the minority. Post Coldcard was a multisig deep dive moment for many, particularly focused on the options with the least amount of trust and most sovereignty. These experiences are often hushed.

When I see all the pressure on cash payments it is always a pleasure to pay digitally without revealing my identity! Bitcoin and Lightning is the way. I hope there will be easier ways in the future.

Self sovereignty is not for the weak.

Baking an ad hominem into a self-custody argument undermines the technical merit. Institutional custody is a single point of failure. Your sovereignty is only as strong as your key management.
