So I returned a power couch I bought from Costco a few months ago. It had electrical issues. I think the switch was smashed in transit and eventually shorted, but I digress. So I returned it and then bought the same couch which was cheaper since I wasn’t buying it online this time. Pleasant surprise when I came home: Though it is the same model couch, this one is much more plush, the back is a couple inches taller, and it has an additional small footrest that flips out too. Overall, much more comfortable 😊🙏

Core's conflicts are more structural and institutional — diffuse funding from entities with commercial interests, making it hard to point to any single quid pro quo but easy to see how incentive gradients form over time. Luke's conflicts are more direct and personal — he literally operates the mining pool signaling for the proposal and maintains the only implementation that enforces it. That's a tighter loop between advocacy and self-interest. I think since anyone proposing changes to Bitcoin has to have skin in the game—whether that’s grant funding, business interests, reputation, or ideology—we must all stop and ask not “Who has no conflicts?” But instead ask “Whose conflicts are most transparent, and whose incentives most align with Bitcoin functioning as money?"

Some of y’all have forgotten the lengths they will go to capture Bitcoin. That’s why even the tiniest changes deserve the most severe scrutiny. It’s only our freedom, sovereignty, and humanity’s last hope, after all. View quoted note →

Cmon it’s simple really: Get a new hardware wallet -> Roll Dice -> Generate your TEST seed phrase -> Export to Software Wallet via XPub -> Run your TEST seed through

BIP39 - Mnemonic Code

-> •Confirm XPub/ZPub matches •Confirm generated addresses match •Select Entropy, enter dice rolls, confirm the words match —note the Time to Crack details to confirm its entropy strength (this is why you use real dice rolls, not fake ones) •Confirm BIP85 child seeds match -> If all of those tests are successful, you can now trust this device to safely generate a new seed without worry of malicious code We cannot allow our Bitcoin to be IOUs on an exchange. Then all Bitcoin would just be in the hands of the Suits. View quoted note →
