🚨 New Episode of Love & Hard Money 🚨 This week we cover the nature of evil, how it is financed/incentivized and where it shows up in the world. We consider the implications for Bitcoin. If Bitcoin really does separate money from state and if money and state are the tools of evil, doesn’t it follow that we have a fight in front of us? Are you ready for it?

As I watch the way the US government has behaved in Iran, I am glad we don’t have a Clarity or a real SBR. Both would serve to extend the empire of debt and war further into the future. Let the current institutions die. Stay out of the way the best you can. Pick up the pieces in a decade.

Dunbars Number refers to the idea that that humans are evolved to live in groups of 150 or less. Above that, we require abstractions like money to cooperate with strangers by reducing the need for trust. Bitcoin does that better than any other money in human history. I love the id a of living in a village with 149 other trusted individuals, but I also really enjoy internet access, air travel and the majority of babies living to maturity. So I’m gunna go with the best money I can access to facilitate a better life.

It’s is possible that Bitcoin is simply marginally better money, not perfect money. It’s possible it only forces governments to behave marginally better towards their people. Maybe that is enough for now.

Dear Bitcoin, Please start melting my face soon. It’s been a hard week and I would like my face melted. Always yours in humble stackieness, Xoxo

Closed out my Bitcoin position to rotate capital into Nee-Doh. It’s a sure bet. Considering taking leverage. IYKYK

In retrospect, the marketing budget for hww manufacturers doesn’t make any sense. You sell a device for a couple hundred dollars. At best you sell two at a time every few years. You have to manufacture, market and distribute the device and your market cap is what? 20,000 hard core bitcoiners? Then you have to protect yourself from liability when something goes wrong. Seems like a terrible business. Either podcasters are cheap collectibles or there was always something else behind the business model. 🤷‍♂️

Why are there zero mainstream media stories about the cold card hack? Sus… This is the stuff movies are made of and no one is out there sensationalizing it?!

🚨 new Episode of Love & a hard Money 🚨 I recorded this last week before the current crisis. If you need a brain cleanser and a reminder of why we’re all committed to this fight even when it gets hard, this is a good one. Much love to everyone who is hurting right now. May you come through it stronger.

Anyone keeping an eye on the troglodytes in D.C. and the Orange tie crowd while we’re all migrate off cold cards?

I went sailing.

I don’t know if this is possible, but here’s the custody solution I want: 2 of 3 multi-sig where I hold 2 keys and the custody provider holds one. Their one should then be multi-party requiring at least two companies to verify me before signing. All three on different audited hardware. I want an empty security address pre-established that is a 3 of 5 with additional wallet types used. I want a duress key that I can activate with minimal friction that will sweep everything from my 2 of 3 into my 3 of 5. In that case I want the custody provider to still require multi-party, and one of them should verify me (or my heirs) in person. The 3 of 5 should also be time-locked so that it takes a predetermined amount of time (2-4 weeks?) to move funds. That would allow some geographic diversification of keys, without creating a time-based crisis). Custody provider also has a hot wallet on the same platform that allows me to pull from cold storage to my own spending wallet in limited amounts and with time delays. Hot wallet has ACH/wire/bill pay. Custody provider also offers 1:1 insurance of cold storage funds. Additionally they offer lending (including mortgage) on platform. Additional services: Buy/sell on platform. End of year tax forms. IRA’s. Trust accounts and built in inheritance. In person support for set up and trainings. 🤷‍♂️

Fucking things not even a good calculator. Disgusting.

So like, wen moon? Wen lambo? ….sorry
