Favorite and least favorite Hardware wallets?
I'm going to be doing a series of very extensive reviews, guides and teardowns of the popular hardware wallets out there. I won't be paid by anyone to do these so I can be brutally honest if they suck.
Which should I get to try out?

Bitcoin is freedom. Self custody is the revolution. Host of Bitcoin not Crypto.

What are some aspects of Bitcoin that need to be explored and who are the best people to talk to on those subjects?
I recently had @matthewvuk2 on my podcast and he shared a presentation about ARK. I want to do more guest episodes like that.
Suggestions welcome.
Don't do it because it's easy.
Do it because it's right.
The only way Bitcoin stops is if every single person participating in it all of a sudden stops caring. That would be a mass psychosis against their own incentives.
Most 'crypto' is just fiat reinvented. They have central control and accessibility to a digital money printer.
How will Bitcoin payments scale to the world?
ARK
This is a layer 2 protocol that is self custody and it facilitates fast & cheap Bitcoin payments.
Special thanks to @matthewvuk2 for presenting this easy to digest guide to understand ARK.
Wow did you see who they added as a headliner for the Bitcoin conference?!?


It's amazing to me that people still haven't learned what protocol dominance means.


STRC is a variable rate, and that variation isn't only to the upside. There are future scenarios where it could be lowered.
If you bought $100 of Bitcoin every single time a major critic said it was dead, you would have over $70 Million today.
It's not enough to just run a node.
You need to use your node.
The difference between $MSTR Bitcoin holdings and the Bitcoin left to be mined is 166k
Over the last 365 days Strategy has acquired an average of 763 Bitcoin a day. At that rate they will have more Bitcoin than there is left to mined by September of this year. 

Short-term price manipulation is one of the only ways they can control Bitcoin. It creates a perception effect, but it doesn't disrupt the security or decentralization.
Bitcoin is currently in its adoption cycle, and there is a massive asymmetry of knowledge. This is the best opportunity to become financially wealthy.
I've been thinking about the more pronounced decoupling of $STRC since ex-div compared to last month. I'm thinking it's possibly because of a rotation of holders into BTC/MSTR.
Any other theories?
If you are anti Bitcoin, you might not realize it but you are anti humanity.
When you use a public node, you are providing your exact net worth and transaction histories to a total stranger.
I'm working on a project.
Who would be good for a video interview that could talk on the history and technical side of TCP/IP?

Bitcoin is Pandora’s Box. Once it has been opened, it cannot be stopped.
