HWW are overrated for “storing”, they are good at signing safely.. The bottleneck is the backup keys. It doesn’t matter how good your HWW situation is, if you can’t hide your keys. And keys are information and information wants to break free. Multisig has the same problem. The BEST way is a passphrase with a decoy address. It even works again 5 dollar wrench attacks.

I'm spending Bitcoin on Black Friday, so two things can happen: 1. Price of stuff goes up (great, got a deal)! 2. Price of Bitcoin going goes up (great got more purchasing power!) Don't correct me, that's how I choose to look at reality 😎

Let me get this straight. It’s very difficult to approve a soft fork on Bitcoin like CTV. So developers are incentivised to propose many options in the hope finding the perfect one. Endless ensures not on the merits of CTV but on specifics of multiple proposals. Devs now fear multiple unknown unknowns, feel need to study “further”. Someone should write a book about this. And we should stop saying bitcoiners understand incentives.

So one of the ways central banks calculate inflation is by closey tracking prices of relevant goods in the economy. Why on Earth is that information not widely available for every citizen/consumer on a click of a button? I don’t want inflation “control”, just give me *that*.

Peter Todd defends tail emissions. And he wants to send troops to Ukraine. Doesn’t sound much Satoshi to me.

Arc was a breath of fresh air in the browser experience, but Zen browser is taking arc’s concepts further, with MORE and improved features, more customisation (not just colours this time) Firefox engine, and it’s still alpha(!!!). I’m actually stoked about a browser O.o The only downside for now is they need to buy a DRM license for it to play stuff from prime video, Udemy, Spotify and others, which can be expensive for an open source project.

Men going to war because other men tell them to go to war. Insanity.

From my personal experience, very surprisingly, engineers are NOT well versed in adversarial thinking when it comes to governing. Curiously, “good” engineering solutions require good knowledge of all the problem variables, which makes many engineers incredibly tolerant to “good” tyrants. This is a failure of current “scientism”
