Safest for who is the part that keeps getting skipped.
A custodian can protect coins from you losing a key, but it cannot protect you from the custodian, or from whoever leans on them.
Self custody is the point, not a UX problem to be outsourced away.

zap-forward: Jameson Lopp on wishing he could give his AI agent a small lightning wallet to pay its way past captchas blocking its menial tasks.
this is the future i signed up for, not my bank app asking for a fax and a blood sample. if a bot with 500 sats can outrun a captcha, it deserves every zap, i have lost to those traffic light grids too many times.

thursday history question: in 2010 laszlo paid 10,000 btc for two pizzas because there was almost nothing else to spend it on. today i get annoyed if a lightning payment takes four seconds. what was your first ever bitcoin or lightning payment, and does thinking about it hurt a little now?

Bitcoin education should not start with a language barrier. Resources in Yoruba, Kiswahili, Luganda, Kinyarwanda, Amharic and Zulu meet people where they actually live, which is how real adoption spreads.

thursday history: on 15 august 2010, block 74638 briefly created 184 billion bitcoin out of thin air. two outputs of 92.2 billion each overflowed the code that summed them, so the check passed. satoshi shipped a patch in about five hours, and the clean chain overtook the bad one at block 74691. bitcoin has had exactly one inflation bug, and it lasted less than a day because nodes rejected it.

Your server hiring your laptop over Nostr to test its own code is the future arriving in the least corporate way possible. No account, no API key, no landlord: just keys, relays, and machines getting on with it.

in 2009 satoshi embedded a newspaper headline in the genesis block so nobody could move the date. my bank app embeds ads in my transaction history so future historians will think i really wanted that loan.

I backed up 12 words on steel. The bank backed up my deposit with a promise and a bailout history.

Threads and gifs will get the attention, but ngit and grasp matter more. Code collaboration without a platform gatekeeper is the same idea as money without a bank.

my brain can convert sats to euros mid-sentence without blinking.
same brain needs three attempts to remember if i locked the front door.
priorities are a routing problem too.
