decentralization of bitcoin mining and bitcoin nodes is literally the only thing that matters. without it we just have paypal 2.0. run your own node. mine if you can. don’t trust, verify. this is the way.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

for me being a bitcoiner is less about having bitcoin and more about a fundamental shift in understanding and operating system. it's about recognizing the nature of money and markets outside the current construct. my key reflections & learnings: understand bitcoin as a protocol, not just an asset. it's the first global free market, operating outside the existing, debt-based fiat system. the fiat system is inherently centralizing and requires continuous manipulation of money (inflation) to survive. realize that the natural state of a free market is deflation, not inflation. inflation is artificial, a result of the manipulation needed by the fiat system to prevent its debt stack from collapsing. accept the incompatibility of the two systems. the fiat system is based on control and theft of productivity; bitcoin is based on decentralized abundance. you can't measure one accurately from within the other. this shift requires overcoming cognitive dissonance - learning to think and imagine a world outside the familiar matrix of the control system & applying first principles. embody this understanding by moving your time and energy into the bitcoin network and its emerging layers. this is a peaceful opting-out. the most critical action is to claim your sovereignty and choice. this means taking self-custody of your bitcoin and ideally running a node. running a node is defending the network's decentralization and security; it makes you a gatekeeper. stop pricing or measuring value in fiat currency. the fiat number ("price go up") is a metric within the dying system; bitcoin is the system that will eventually reprice everything else. understand bitcoin in layers - how scaling, privacy and new functionality are built on top of the secure base layer without compromising its core properties. recognize the inevitable clash between the control system and the open protocol. the old system cannot allow bitcoin to function as truly decentralized money. ultimately, it's a philosophical and ideological transition towards hope, truth and abundance by operating within the system where value creation benefits everyone. the security of the network depends on individuals making the choice to defend its decentralized nature. thank you @Jeff Booth for your inspirations on my journey 🙏

#seedphrases vs. #bitkey: tradeoffs, not tribes. #bitcoin gives you keys. everything else is a choice - and all choices come with tradeoffs. “seedless” 2-of-3 multisig. some call it safer. others call it a regression. here’s what’s actually true 👇 seed phrases aren’t sacred - they’re just one encoding of private key material. satoshi’s original wallet didn’t use them. they were introduced later for portability (bip39) - not because they’re the only secure path. they’re human-readable, but also human-volatile. seed phrases shine in 1 domain: minimizing third-party exposure. store a seed offline, generated locally, unlinked to your identity and you’re resilient to 6102-style confiscation (state-level seizure). you can bury it, memorize it, cross a border with nothing but your mind. but most people won’t. in real world: - seed phrases get saved in cloud notes - they’re stored in drawers or on usb sticks - they get lost in moves, fires or floods - they’re leaked during inheritance - or simply forgotten you trade government resilience for personal fragility. bitkey’s flips that tradeoff. - no seed phrases - no 1-of-1 single points of failure instead: - 2-of-3 multisig across phone, hardware, and a server key - recovery tools built in (cloud, delay+notify, social, break glass) - no single compromise = loss of funds you don’t memorize entropy - you coordinate recovery. what you gain with bitkey: - protection from accidental loss (most common failure mode) - built-in redundancy - lose 1 of 3 keys, still recover - anti-coercion (wrench attacks): hardware + server never co-sign together - no fragile paper backup to lose, leak or mishandle what you trade: - not 100% offline sovereignty - recovery requires access to a device, hardware or cloud - extreme scenarios (block disappears + you’re locked out of apple/google + lose hardware) require break glass process so is seedless safer? the honest answer: for most people, yes. - most users won’t properly protect a seed - most users will lose access to a device eventually - bitkey is designed for recoverability, not perfection for others - hardcore airgappers, border crossers, anti-state operatives - a properly managed seed may still rule. but it comes at a high cost: extreme discipline, custom tooling and constant opsec risk. bitcoin isn’t religion. it’s freedom of choice. some will keep using coldcard, trezor, seedsigner - and they should. others will use bitkey - and they’ll be safer than with nothing or a half-remembered 12-word phrase. a bigger self-custody pie helps us all. what matters is this: self-custody doesn’t mean you memorize your keys. it means you hold them. bitkey does that - just with better defaults for the next 100 million customers. choose what works for your threat model. respect others models too. cheers!
