This isn’t for everyone. If it sounds intimidating, something like a Bitkey is a fine solution. But for those who want maximum security and sovereignty that is still practical, This is The Way. Mul...

This attack definitely set self-custody back but it also made everyone remaining in self-custody 10 times more secure. Its terrible it took this many people losing their funds to accomplish this but their sacrifice was not in vain. Think about how many people this forced into learning multivendor multisig & dice rolls that otherwise wouldn't have learned. Things seem hopeless now but i think in the following years self custody will continue to become more and more frictionless and this attack will be viewed as a net-positive to the network overall in the long run just like every other attack on bitcoin.

Just watched a recent interview of Joe Consorti with @passiveincomeinvesting.. It was kinda funny at the end. It was like it was the first time the host had ever heard that shit coins have no actual use case ( besides extracting money from degenerate gamblers or simply uneducated people).

Something so glaringly obvious if you just take two minutes to actually look into it,, but yet is such a subtle concept to so many people blows my mind. I don't understand how people don't realize that shit coins are just central banks digitally rebranded with different shareholders sold as "bitcoin with extra bells and whistles".

Ironically, the exact thing bitcoin was created to escape from are the exact thing that shitcoins symbolize: trust in humans to be honest when given a monopoly over the creation and issuance of a currency. If you have a genuinely good idea that solves people's problems and you want it to actually last, build it on bitcoin. If you're just trying to grift people out of their money in the short term, by all means create a shit coin.
