Recent Notes
My house is down 7% over the last year
But at least not down 40% like my bitcorns
I am a great investor
Turns out my dumb brother is really a super genious investor: Down 0%:
Ummm... Wut? The national debt is not at $31.27T; it's well above $38T.
I'd accuse someone of trying to gaslight the public into thinking things aren't as bad as they *actually* are; but upon closer...
Correction: The subheadline is correct: public debt is at ~$31.27T.
It's just the conflation of terms "national debt" and "public debt" in the main headline (and pretty much everywhere else) that is erroneous - which, TBH, I initially did as well.

I'd accuse someone of trying to gaslight the public into thinking things aren't as bad as they *actually* are; but upon closer inspection, this just looks like 'news' outlets lazily regurgitating the same erroneous slop. (If the Bureau of Economic Analysis is indeed the source of this, they appear to have since taken it down).

⚡🍔 NEW - Fast food giant Steak 'n Shake announces "when we use bitcoin, we save 50% on processing fees vs a traditional credit card user."
"If every credit card user used bitcoin, we would save...
#SteanNShake, yeah, bitcoin is way more economically efficient than credit cards; but, if you really wanted more credit card customers to choose to use bitcoin instead, perhaps it would makes sense to maybe split those savings benefits with them for doing so?
For example, I noticed Cashapp is now rewarding 5% back to their customers who pay Square merchants in Bitcoin. Granted, that's only for Cashapp users; but at least it's a step in the right direction.

Seeds should always be a thing, always as an option: but this device is a real gift to the community and is so much better than holding on coinbase.. Thats one the biggest problems in this extremely...
I am hopeful that miniscript will become widely useful enough for easy to use self-soverign inheritance wallets. I think you can kind of get there already with Nunchuk, for example (though, I haven't taken the time to play around with it yet)... but even then, I'm pretty sure the wallet balance would be available to the would-be beneficiary - which isn't ideal.
Of course, all of this would require tranining your would-be beneficiary on multi-sig wallets and the seed phrases, wallet desccriptors, etc that entails... which is generally a pretty big ask at this time. I expect that to slowly change the more Bitcoin wins, though.

Here is the problem I am having generally (not with you), is that people don’t like Bitkey because they think it doesn’t provide for unilateral exit, which it obviously does, but when you point ou...
Yeah, putting my concerns aside, bitkey does offer a pretty nifty solution to the inheritance problem.
I'm not a self-sovereign or nothing kinda guy. It's trade-offs all the way down. I'm mostly coming from a position of wanting to point out the risks that Block's marketing seems to routinely neglect, IMO. Sure, I know. What should I expect?: it's just marketing; but, it still annoys me. 😉

FWIW, they do have a a mechanism for recovering your APP-key even if Block goes away and Bitkey servers are down:

True. As long as you still have a working bitkey device, you should be good. (with the caveat that the typical bitkey user would likely have to find someone more technically capable in order to make use of that "break glass" receovery mechanism 😉)

Pretty nifty as long as nothing goes wrong.
The bitkey device is intentionally designed so that the key it holds cannot be backed up (even by Block). If it gets lost, stolen, or broken, etc, the use...
PS. and this is all with the stipulation that Block is an honest actor to begin with.
