Son: Dad, Bitcoin fixes this! Dad: Son, what? Bitcoin fixes what? Son: Everything. Fix the Money, fix the World! #Bitcoin

Dad: Son, do you have any idea where I can hide my Bitcoin seed recovery phrase? Son: Hi Dad, No, but I can tell you many bad hiding places that are used by many and therefore known to burglars. Under the mattress, master bedroom, bedroom closet, drawers, safes, cabinets, refrigerator/freezer, toilet tank, vases, and suitcases. These places should be avoided. Dad: What's wrong with suitcases? Son: Surprisingly, people use a suitcase as a not-so-secure safe. Burglars know this. #Bitcoin

Dad: Son, who created Bitcoin? Son: Dad, no one actually knows... Dad: What? No one knows who created Bitcoin?! Son: I doubt anyone knows who created Bitcoin. It seems to be one of the best kept secrets of modern times. But we do have a name: "Satoshi Nakamoto". This may be a person or a group of persons. Dad: But Bitcoin has to come from somewhere, right? Son: Yes, Bitcoin did have a prehistory. There are eight references listed at the end of the Bitcoin white paper. Would you like to take a look? #Bitcoin

Dad: Son, so, Bitcoin is open-source? What does this mean exactly? Son: Hi Dad, The term open source refers to something anyone can independently review, modify and share because its design is publicly accessible. Dad: So, everything is public and there are no secrets, except your own? Son: Your private keys are private, of course. Everything else is public and auditable. In this beautiful asymmetry lies the true power of Bitcoin. #Bitcoin

Dad: Son, what is the difference between altcoins and Bitcoin? Son: Hi Dad, Bitcoin would be here without shitcoins. in contrast, shitcoins wouldn't be here without Bitcoin. Dad: And further, maybe more technical or long-term? Son: Bitcoin is relevant, the rest isn't. Dad: Son, so you do not see any investment opportunities in altcoins? Son: No, not at all. Dad, don't waste your money and time on irrelevant thing. There is just Bitcoin. #Bitcoin

Son: Dad, you don't have to be an expert to buy bitcoin. Dad: ... the expert said. ;-) #Bitcoin

Dad: Son, what is the first thing you need to do if you want to get into Bitcoin? Son: To "start" would be a good idea, Dad. ;-) But before you start using Bitcoin get informed. There are a few things that you have to know to use it securely and avoid common pitfalls. You have to secure your wallet yourself. Payments are irreversible. Unconfirmed transactions aren't secure. Depending on the value, you are waiting for one or more "confirmations". Oh, and the exchange rate is volatile. Dad: So, there is no customer service that can help? #Bitcoin

Son: Dad, Bitcoin is the best money humans ever had. Bitcoin is secure, decentralized, permissionless, borderless, and settles within an hour, regardless of the value sent. Dad: Son, these are all indeed fascinating properties, and "One world, one money!" Son: Exactly, Dad. Bitcoin is the future. Embrace it, one block at a time! #Bitcoin

Son: Dad, did you back up your 24 words in steel? Dad: Son, no, not yet. Son: Without your 24 recovery words, there is no way to access your funds. I can't stress this enough. Get a "Cryptosteel Capsule". These solid metal devices are cheap, easy to use and super reliable. Dad, are you using a passphrase? Dad: Yes, you suggested using one. Son: Yeah, that's great. However, you have to secure the passphrase as well. In that case, get a "Capsule Duo", one for the recovery seed words and one for the passphrase. #Bitcoin

Dad: Son, where do you store your Bitcoin? Son: Hi Dad, I store my bitcoin on the blockchain. Everyone running a node takes care of it. I use my hardware wallet to control it. If I want to move it, I broadcast a signed transaction, pay the fee, and a miner packs it into a block for redistribution. Then, either I as the remaining owner or the new owner, can control the newly created bitcoin output onward. Dad: If they don't lose their keys. #Bitcoin

Dad: Son, I just found free Satoshis in my wallet! Son: Hi Dad, There are no free sats. This is called a "dust attack". Dad: Is this dust dangerous? What should I do now? Son: If you spend the dust-tainted coin you will break the privacy of your transactions and the attacker probably will de-anonymize your identity. Dad: Oh, my goodness! Son, what should I do now?? Son: Use "coin-control" in your wallet to freeze the coin. Never spend the dust. Problem solved. #Bitcoin

Son: Dad, one day, my kids will say: "I'm old enough to remember when you could buy bitcoin with fiat currency." Dad: Son, should it not read "I'm old enough to remember when you could stack sats with fiat currency."? Son: Yeah. Anyway. I'm still surprised by that. #Bitcoin

Dad: Son, too bad I am late for Bitcoin. Son: Hi Dad, You're not late. Whenever you find yourself thinking you're late to a new technological trend, remember that Walt Disney thought he was late to animation in 1923. #Bitcoin

Dad: Son, now that the cost of goods across all domains are increasing rapidly, I am curious if inflation ends in hyperinflation and what effect this will have on Bitcoin adoption and its price. Son: Hi Dad, Hyperinflation makes all sorts of goods and services essentially unaffordable for the majority of people, but I'm not speaking about bitcoin. ;) Hyperinflation will lead to Hyperbitcoinization. This is why: Because bitcoin is the hardest money in the world, people will upgrade their "store of value" and just use bitcoin.For me, Hyperbitcoinization is here when prices are expressed in bitcoin, uhm, when prices are expressed in sats. Dad: Son, in such a scenario, it would be impossible to measure bitcoin's value in dollars anyway. #Bitcoin

Son: Dad, two things: 1. Nobody has enough bitcoin. 2. Nobody understands Bitcoin completely. Dad: True things. #Bitcoin

Dad: Son, what do you think about __________? Son: Hi Dad, Nah. I wouldn't recommend __________. I'm just interested in Bitcoin. But in the end, everyone has to decide for themselves... #Bitcoin

Dad: Son, owning a fraction of a Bitcoin is life-changing. Son: Hi Dad, I am not sure if your 200 bucks worth of bitcoin will be life-changing one day. ;-) But yes. Dad: It is life-changing. I am reading more today and question the mainstream media more than ever. Son: I truly agree, Dad. Many more things will change when you fall deeper down the rabbit hole. Dad: Son, what changed for you? Son: Everything – from steak to stacking SATs. #Bitcoin

Son: Dad, Bitcoin is hope. Dad: Seems so, son. #Bitcoin

Son: Dad, to secure your bitcoin, self custody is crucial and delaying it can be more costly than taking action now. Dad: Son, well, I know self custody is important, but I just don't have the time to figure it out right now. Son: Dad, delaying it can be more costly than taking action now. Just do it. I can help you out. #Bitcoin

Son: Dad, Bitcoin is like Bamboo. Dad: Son, what? Why should Bitcoin be like bamboo? Son: Bamboo grows underground, unseen, for a few years with nothing valuable to offer the world. The whole time was a period of preparation. Growth in solitude. Once matured, in two months or so it grows upwards of 90 feet, towering over everything around it. Okay, not "a few years with nothing valuable", but still Bitcoin is like bamboo. Dad: That is a great analogy. It is also interesting to mention that bamboo that bends is stronger than the oak that resists. #Bitcoin
