#Bitcoin reminds me of a quote in the first book of Carlos Castaneda:
"Anything is one of a million paths. Therefore you must always keep in mind that a path is only a path; if you feel you should not follow it, you must not stay with it under any conditions. To have such clarity you must lead a disciplined life. Only then will you know that any path is only a path and there is no affront, to oneself or to others, in dropping it if that is what your heart tells you to do. But your decision to keep on the path or to leave it must be free of fear or ambition. I warn you. Look at every path closely and deliberately. Try it as many times as you think necessary.
This question is one that only a very old man asks. Does this path have a heart? All paths are the same: they lead nowhere. They are paths going through the bush, or into the bush. In my own life I could say I have traversed long long paths, but I am not anywhere. Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn't, it is of no use. Both paths lead nowhere; but one has a heart, the other doesn't. One makes for a joyful journey; as long as you follow it, you are one with it. The other will make you curse your life. One makes you strong; the other weakens you.
Before you embark on any path ask the question: Does this path have a heart? If the answer is no, you will know it, and then you must choose another path. The trouble is nobody asks the question; and when a man finally realises that he has taken a path without a heart, the path is ready to kill him. At that point very few men can stop to deliberate, and leave the path. A path without a heart is never enjoyable. You have to work hard even to take it. On the other hand, a path with heart is easy; it does not make you work at liking it.”
Bitcoin is a path with a heart.

Everybody should have their Bitcoin in Self Custody.
Otherwise you are owing paper.

I created this educational tool that lets you generate random seeds and check if any of them hold a balance.
For each seed, the tool only looks at the first address of each type (1, 3, bc1, and bc1p). You can filter by address type.
You can test weak entropy <128 bits and padding the rest with a chosen binary pattern (like '0', '1', '0001', etc..)
Building this project has taught me a lot about seeds and entropy, and I now feel much more confident in managing them!

The state of necessity is what people really need in order to grow.
I first bumped into Bitcoin during the Silk Road years, I simply ignored it.
I came across it again a few years later, had a timid curiosity, flirted with it but I ended up friend zoning it.
Then later again, under a state of necessity I fell in love and decided to deeply study it, listened 1000 hours of podcasts, paid tuition fee and here I am.
Ego test, humility test!
Thanks to the legends who helped me waking up: @npub1s05p...eyhe @npub15vzu...k4um @jack mallers @Giacomo Zucco @Saifedean Ammous 🙏

Bitcoin, Nostr and Bitchat are the present and the future of the internet and sovereignty!

Don't be scared of the self custody journey. The reward is big and is the total control of your own keys without stress, as a true self sovereign.
Give yourself a chance to deep dive into this rabbit hole.
There's nothing better of feeling confident in managing your stack because you learnt how to protect it, by using backup redundancy, inheritance, multisig, coinjoin, software and hardware tips.
You will be able to securely cross borders with your stack, isn't that amazing?
You've got nothing to lose!

Prove me wrong mate!
Bitcoin Knots is skyrocketing.
Soon it will be the most used node version.
Fuck you Core!
#bitcoin #gm #nostr
People angry everywhere because of internet control, age verification and whatever other bullshit.
I want to tell this people that the new world is already here as well as the tools. We, as humanity, just need to embrace them.
Use Bitcoin, do self custody, use Nostr, study, be curious, it's all you need!
