Its a good thing BIP-110'ers used to be Bitcoiners before they rage quit. These people need to be well-versed in hodling. image

Heard a second-hand story about someone losing 0.25 BTC in their ColdCard duress wallet, because in the panic, they forgot it existed. Stop thinking you are clever.

This is the zeitgeist, captured in a single post: We went the extra mile to accept Bitcoin in the most correct way possible. Our BTCPayServer got hacked. Luckily, nobody contributed. View quoted note →

Get Bitcoin into people's hands first. Make it easy to use. Easy to hold. Fuck all this intellectualizing and philosophy -- it's useless at the grassroots and dangerous at the top. I'm just not really interested in any idealogue's ideas of how society should be configured. Give people the tools, and they'll figure out how best to route around the damage of the past's ideologies and arrange themselves how they see fit. That's real freedom. Not some bookish nerds narrow interpretation of it.

Two years from now, we are going to forget half of the bonkers stuff that went on in this bear market. We are gonna sit around and try to reconstruct the timeline and have to do shots with each other just to deal with the PTSD.

Facts: 1. Chihuahuas are mammals. 2. Chihuahuas bite ALL the time 3. The purpose of a chihuahua is to flip out and bite people.

Where am I wrong: 1. At some point, in a Bitcoin success scenario, Bitcoin will be owned as a normal thing by normal people 2. Normal people do not play with board game accessories and study for like 100 hours in order to safely store their money 3. Normal people will not store Bitcoin the way that early adopter psychopaths do 4. Constantly focusing on what works for nerds who lead rich, internal, intellectual lives and bullying each other to do things "the right way" just turns off normal people, and makes us part of the problem rather than the solution.
