Hand on heart, if the price of Bitcoin stopped going up when denominated in fiat value and stopped beating inflation would you still be here?

Great article! I’ve been involved in a lot of collector communities online and I’ve literally seen people bankrupt themselves to keep up with the Jones. Insane fomo behaviour! #Nostr is potentially a good tool to combat #Fomo but at the end of the day, clients like @primal @Damus @YakiHonne @Amethyst are social media like platforms with all the potential pitfalls that plague legacy social media apps and websites. Hopefully the rich relationships formed on nostr and the lack of algo based attention stealing tactics can be a successful antidote! Thanks for writing ✍️!

A friend asked me today for some advice on how to secure 5 million sats in a single UTXO for 18 years. A gift to their niece to spend in the future. Assumptions: - No one will be around to guide them through the process of spending / using the BTC - Durability and ease of use will be weighted most heavily - The securing method has to last 18 years - Ideally self custodial but all answers will be looked at! Best answer will be zapped a 5,000 sat bounty! #sats #PaperWallet #Wallet #HardwareWallet #SteelPlate #TitaniumPlate #Seedphrase #TimeChain #OpenDime #SatsCard #HotWallet #Android #ios #ColdCard #SeedSigner #casa #FoundationDevice #Block #Blockstream #Jade #Coinkite #Ledger #Trezor #BitKey #MultiSig #SingleSig #SelfCustody #Custodial #Tangem #MidnightGardener #sats #Bitcoin #UTXO #Nunchuck #Unchained #GreenWallet #Muun #Metal #unchained #sparrow #sparrowwallet #electrum #billfodl #bitbox #Wasabi #generationalwealth @Bluewallet @nunchuk_io @Blockstream @Coinkite @Stamp Seed @Foundation @SeedSigner @Bitkey, the self-custody bitcoin wallet built by the team at Block. @Casa @BitBox @Unchained @Wasabi Wallet image
