"We don't reward bad OPSEC" might be the hardest line I've read on Nostr this year. 🫡😆 View quoted note →

Tomorrow Real Madrid kick off the season at Espanyol. Family day trip takes priority. The kids don't care about Mbappe, neither does my wife apparently. Just me being the odd one out again. Real football fans don't miss matches. Real dads do. Sometimes both happen at the same time and you just deal with it. If Madrid lose I'm blaming the day trip for the rest of the season. If they win I'll take full credit from a hiking trail somewhere. #HalaMadrid #LaLiga

My wife wanted to go to IKEA. I didn't. So we met in the middle. The middle is IKEA.

I had to take the “asshole” test 🤷🏻‍♂️😆

came back from the garden with this tonight tomatoes man. the big ones, the cherry ones, some peppers thrown in there too. just dumped it all in the colander every time i pull stuff out of the ground i think about how i basically did nothing. threw seeds in dirt, added water, complained about bugs. the rest wasn't me people think growing food is hard. it's not hard, it's just patient. same as stacking sats honestly. you just keep showing up and one day there's tomatoes i don't know. sitting here with dirt under my nails and a basket full of food i grew myself and it just feels right. like this is what you're supposed to do grateful for stupid things tonight. dirt, sun, my wife telling me the cherry tomatoes taste better than last year anyone else got a garden going? what'd you pull out today?

Stopped for a quick break today along our St. Lawrence ride. Spotted this @bitcoin.rocks sticker on a light post — went up 2+ years ago, still standing. Fed printing keeps rolling. Dollar keeps bleeding. Meanwhile my sats stay cold and untouchable. Hard money doesn't ask permission. It just waits. #bitcoin #hardmoney #bitcoin.rocks

The pattern is too obvious to ignore. Every attack on Bitcoin targets self custody users, Boltz, now BTCPay Server, and Coldcard (some of which smell like inside jobs). Exchanges? Safe. Banks? Untouched. I'm not technical so I won't pretend to know all the details. But AI scanning code and firmware (kimi, mimi, whatever) or state ops making self custody look dangerous? Convenient timing. Convenient vulnerabilities. Convenient narrative. Two questions we should be screaming: Is our stack this broken? If yes, fix it or admit it. Or is this coordinated to push everyone back into captive compliance? How much better is bank security? Or do they just have quieter breaches, deeper pockets, and lobbyists? Silence is a choice. #bitcoin #selfcustody #btcpay #coldcard #boltz #opsec #privacy

My 11-year-old daughter made me breakfast. French toast, scrambled eggs, feta (because I put feta on everything), and cherry tomatoes she picked from our backyard. She knows exactly how I like it. Zero burns, no smoke alarm. Proud dad. ❤️

How long does Ukraine expect the US to keep them going? Maybe it's time to consider negotiating. 🤷🏻‍♂️ View quoted note →

Bitcoin journey so far, if it helps anyone else out there: Started in 2020 like millions of normies when the pandemic hit. Went through the shitcoin phase, tried futures, longs, shorts, felt clever. Bought a Ledger. Then a Coldcard. Hammered words on steel washers… Made plenty of mistakes. Learned from tutorials, from X threads, and now exclusively here on Nostr. I'm the type of guy who likes to try new things, jump in, figure it out along the way. My funds were never stolen, but honestly that's not skill, that's Nostr. I caught the warnings early enough, moved fast, and got my stack to a hot wallet before it was too late. Now? I'm stuck in limbo. I hold my keys but I don't sleep easy. Some Bitcoiners are outright bad actors. Others know maybe 10% more than me. Who do I listen to? The space keeps evolving. I just figured out my Coldcard setup, and now I need another device. Will it be safe? Who knows. Next time around I'll be rolling actual dice to generate my own seed because trusting these devices to do it for me feels like handing your fate to a black box. So I'll roll the dice and hope some random sociopath with an AI won't outsmart whatever entropy a handful of plastic cubes can give me. I guess it still beats keeping fiat in a bank.
