Good read.
A difficult framework to wrap your mind around, but very much worthwhile.
This is also one of the most hopeful things I have read in a long time.
Thank you @Jeff Booth

Can someone give me a single, practical, material benefit that a normative person enjoys by self-custodying their Bitcoin?
If you get it right you will enjoy freedom in a way you never could without.

The recent events surrounding Bitcoin have genuinely shaken me.
Every time I read the discussions here, I find myself becoming a little more worried about what the future of Bitcoin might look like.
...
Let me point your attention to something optimistic I saw in the last couple of days:
- Thursday the exploit is discovered by Block who is a competitor of Coinkite
- within hours #Bitcoin X explodes and the entire industry is rallying around the situation organizing triage for effected people, disregarding their own affiliations or personal pride, considering many recommended Coldcards before
- meanwhile every single bitcoin company is spending a fortune on AI tokens to harden their code base
- as of now the damage is brutal and the loss for many people is incomprehensible. It is still by orders of magnitude smaller than the centralized exchange failures in the past.
All of that happened in a decentralized way and was organized by people who simply cared about #Bitcoin and bitcoiners. This might be the beginning of the AI wars. We are in the trenches and there is no way to avoid it. We do have a fighting chance if we keep it together. After this weekend I am more convinced than ever that we will prevail.
All the best to you 🙏🏻

We're going to find out soon that most software that we use is vulnerable. It's the reason that Claude Mythos was deployed to only a handful of companies and Project Glasswing created approximately 6 ...
Agree. Nobody knows how much digital infrastructure is under attack right now. When we find out it is going to be because of a major blow up. The stuff that survives will be hardened and I believe there will be some surprises along the way… wouldn’t bet my money on the legacy financial system for sure.

Initial reflections on the Coldcard catastrophe, the bitcoin-only approach, and financial freedom:
1) Many people, me included, trusted and recommended Coldcard more than we should have. Especially a...
Don’t die.
Don’t quit.
Keep learning.
This is the dawn of a new era and every piece of software out there will be attacked in similar ways. The ones who survive will write the history books.

In some decades the #EU will be remembered as something much worse than the #USSR. It is an authoritarian leviathan and one day it will turn violent or collapse under its own weight. Both scenarios will have very similar consequences.

Twitter users cheer when Saylor buys the top
Nostr cheers when he sells the bottom
We are not the same
Mass selling or liquidations can be seen as donations to active DCA‘s.
Bro told you to mortgage your house while tweeting from his yacht to never sell bitcoin, and also not to use it as money

I don’t get why this is such a big deal. The entire setup of the company never made sense unless at some point he would start selling #bitcoin to fund dividends (ideally not at a loss). Maybe my 80 IQ brain just never understood the whole „tap the credit markets forever“ story…🤷♂️. I think the whole marketing and voodoo around the financial engineering drew in attention from way too many people that never tried to understand and just looked for a messiah. I think the whole story is just now starting to get interesting. If #Strategy is still around in a year and somehow manages to grow their stack and get STRC back to $100 his thesis will gain a lot of credibility… but maybe the whole thing blows up before he gets there. Future is wide open… we shall see.

Looks like #Germany is gone for good. Tragic how the #CDU in this government has broken every single campaign promise and still is holding on to power. #Bitcoin gains used to be tax free after a one year holding period (same as gold and collectibles). This is apparently going away now and bitcoin will be treated like stocks which means a 25% capital gains tax will apply.
The reason is obviously fairness BS and maybe also the fact that the government is incapable of managing money. Despite having around the highest tax rates on earth additional income is needed to keep the various state run Ponzi schemes such as the pay-as-you-go pension system afloat. It is painful how obviously parasitic those people are that occupy so many parliaments in the west.
