PSA: SECURITY ALERT! Social engineering is a thing and scammers are out in force. Beware of the two new methods they are using. 1) Google security alerts in your email inbox. Followed up by a phone call from Google security team. They'll all you to change security settings on your account. FYI Google will NEVER call you directly. If you get one of these calls, hang up. Change your password on your Gmail account.
2) Follow up call will come from your multi sig provider security team. "Someone is trying to move your assets, but we stopped them" They'll have all your information including your personal advisor, all your moves of your assets, dates, amounts and origination wallets etc. very convincing human interaction. They'll want you to download a hot wallet to temporarily move your assets while they fix your security setup. Don't do anything but call your custodian directly and speak with your personal advisor to verify they are actually trying to contact you about a security breach. You'll find out it's an imposter immediately. Again give no information to the person contacting you no matter how convincing they sound.
3) You receive a call from IC3 (Internet Crimes division of the US government) Like Google and your custodian, IC3 will never call you directly.
REMEDY: A) Change your email to an encrypted account like PROTON, have your custodian update your records so you can only be reached through that secure channel. B) Don't answer questions from unsolicited callers even when the caller ID looks legit. C) Don't panic about any information given to you even when they seem to have all the "receipts" on you.

Data breaches happen. My email has been found in over a dozen places on the dark web. AI can scrub through your mail and learn everything about you. That technology can dupe the smartest people. Stay on guard for unusual or unexpected, unsolicited calls from real people with legit looking caller ID's who act like they know you and are wanting to help protect you from security threats. Change your passwords. Call your trusted custodians directly. Verify your agent even when you know their voice.

It's getting spooky out there. Threats are real. Protect yourself in every way possible.

It's back up. The problem was on the hosting server. It did a reset and didn't notify the dev of satellite. I got it worked out early this morning with the dev. It got fixed with a couple keystrokes. New server host incoming so this doesn't happen again in the future. I'm happy to know the dev IRL and was able to pick up the phone and call him since no one told him Satellite was down. He handled it before running out the door to catch his flight. Big surprise incoming for the friends of Satellite. Keep your eyes open. Big drop inbound.

Hugh Hendry nails it with this piece. If you want all of this article, it's going to require a subscription. It's the best thing I've spent money on in a while. This piece is not what you'd expect from Hugh. He is insightful, cogent, and illuminating. This is one of the best pieces written on Bitcoin ever, by anyone since its launch in '09. This is a big claim. Don't trust me. Verify for yourself.

In my home when the kids would use the "R" word, we would make them stand with their nose in a corner of the room for a time out punishment.
We took care of those people with the disability for decades in care homes. We made our living from that population. So we must be guilty by association. Then I bought Bitcoin. I must be super retarded and gay.

Christmas is almost here. It's not about Santa Claus, stocking stuffers and candy canes. It's time to celebrate the coming of Christ the Savior. Keep the reason for the season in your home and heart. Blessings to you and yours...

That's a darn fine question. I never thought about it.... but more often than not I "hear" it in your voice. Besides this, I have to say this is a really funny exchange between you two. I also laughed hard and I've never met GS IRL. Can tell this is fun banter between friends.

Interesting, I've never heard it put like that, but its catchy. (5 or 6 B's). One of the things I don't think is talked about enough in the Nomad/Sovereign/Prepper communities is - Safe People make S...

I Agree with the principle that "safe people make safe places”. A number of pepper authors emphasize the importance of community. I didn't mention that but took steps in my life to do a tactical relocation to move into low population density rural America where community still matters and where neighbors still take care of neighbors. Thanks for the reply. I'm but a pleb with a lone voice in the wilderness. I have no followers to speak of - hence little influence. Glad to learn one other person saw something worth pausing and making comment about my thoughts. I'll check out those links you dropped. They sound interesting to me.
