You’re not a Bitcoiner until you…

Buy Bitcoin.

But then you’re like wait, I need to get these coins off the exchange.

So you get a hardware wallet.

But then you’re like wait, this is a ledger.

So you get a cold card.

But then you’re like wait, it isn’t using a passphrase.

So you use a passphrase.

But then you’re like wait this isn’t multisig and multisig would be better.

So you buy 4 more coldcards and set up a multisig.

But then you’re like wait I can’t just do coldcards I have to guard against supply chain attacks.

So you buy a ledger again and probably a bitbox too.

But then you’re like wait, I haven’t geographically distributed these.

So you disperse them throughout the country.

But then you’re like wait, what about jurisdictional risk?

So you disperse them to multiple countries.

But then you’re like wait, what if I was tracked as I was placing the hardware wallets?

So you…

There’s actually no end.

It just keeps going like that forever.

Congrats you’re a Bitcoiner now lol 😂

I find it hilarious that 90% of bitcoiners in their brain think they are fuckin James Bond 007 or el chapo and require cia level security when they are mere mortal law abiding citizens cold storage with a pass phrase takes care of 99% of their threat models. The avg bitcoiner does not need keys spre...

Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you.

Before buying, research digital privacy and security practices #xmr

And in the end you are back to custodian services as has been the case throughout history. For most self custody is the largest risk.
