Retire Your Wife

Keep your seed phrase. Retire your wife. Your Bitcoin, your keys, your legacy. We are reimagining how true cypherpunks can build legacy and freedom in a world with Bitcoin and Nostr. We are Nostr first. By building on Nostr we are servants to no big tech overlords. We will be the change we want to see by enabling plebs to reach previously impossible levels of Bitcoin security, resiliency, and legacy. We provide onboarding and support to create the most resilient BTC self custody setup possible via Liana Wallet. Get the security of multisig with the recover-ability of singlesig. Taproot enables you to keep all these recovery options fully private yet enforceable onchain. When you pass away your family will have idiot-proof redundancy with multiple non-kyc, private inheritance options.

GM! You can just hold generational wealth safely without depending on anybody. What a time to be alive!!

@Phundamentals book is awesome so far. Love starting with the advantages of Bitcoin to individuals. When Bitcoin reaches $1M the asymmetric advantage to individuals will only grow with NGU. An individual can quickly change to the best self custody option available. Quantum becomes a real threat (I doubt it but possible) or another threat emerges, and individuals can move to a quantum resistant address or new custody setup in minutes while institutions will be stuck in committees for years. CTV gets activated and on chain vaults become an option, individuals will be the majority of users for a long time. This is my favorite aspect of Bitcoin.

GM! The fundamental problem with MSTR is the enormous amount of trust. They refuse to prove they have the Bitcoin. You have to trust the auditors, and auditors are retarded.

GM! If you leave your heirs anything except a seed plate you’re doing it wrong. That seed plate will be valuable long after MSTR is dead. Have to think about the long run goals. Not short term gains.

@daylightco review after using for ~3 weeks: The screen is the show stealing feature and does help develop a more ongoing sense of calm, and acutely makes me realize how my phone is giving me constant low level anxiety. When putting my phone away and using the daylight tablet for a while I feel noticeably more relaxed. The main downside is it’s pretty expensive. To consider the price tag worth it you either have to highly value the mental health and blue light avoidance aspects (I do) or place future value on their not yet deployed new operating system. For now it is ultimately an expensive Android tablet, albeit one that has a beautiful screen and is carefully curated.

Time locks: while you’re alive you have multisig’s incredible security, and after you pass on your inheritance has the simplicity of singlesig. Your heirs only need a single seed plate.

If your Bitcoin inheritance plan is a treasure map then your heirs are probably losing your stack. With timelocks you can instead confidently now give them a seedplate and a clear recovery explanation without fear they can steal funds because … well it’s timelocked.

GM! What custodians say: “we offer white glove services and provide inheritance to your heirs.” What it really means “ we (maybe?) have your bitcoin and your family depends on our good graces to access it. We can cancel you and take or just lose your life’s work in a moment.”

GM! For estate planning you can use Bitwarden’s emergency access to allow your heirs to access your BTC descriptor (NEVER private keys) after a preset delay. Hand them a steel seed plate and then Bitwarden provides them delayed access to the descriptor and you can provide instructions and other important estate documents.

GM! Worried about Bitcoin inheritance? Just use Liana and hand your heir a time locked seed plate.

BTC self custodial inheritance: hand your heir a seed plate that’s behind a timelock. They can’t access while you’re alive, but they have the key needed to access once you’re gone.

GM! For a serious BTC stack a dedicated desktop computer is by far the best approach. Phones are fine for a modest stack, but not for retiring your family. Don’t play games, browse the internet, and then handle your generational wealth on the same computer. You can get a used M1/M2 Mac Mini for $250-400.

You can just use timelocks to make non KYC self custodial inheritance bulletproof

GM! Liana with timelocks are a super power. Having a singlesig key behind a timelock is the ultimate inheritance. Just hand a seed plate to your heir and send them the descriptor. With timelocks they won’t be able to access until you pass on, enforced by the Bitcoin network itself. Not a closed source server that instantly breaks if a company or person disappears.

Happy Father’s Day. Just showing up, caring, and putting in effort matters. I see your efforts as a father as a wonderful contribution to our world.

In all past collaborative custody models a third party at minimum knows how much bitcoin you have, how it is stored and your exact threat model, and hold at least one key. If a gun is held to their heads you are in deep shit.

GM! If a collaborative custody provider has your real name and address realize they can send bad guys straight to your door armed with precise knowledge of how much Bitcoin you have and exactly how it is stored. This can happen via hack, malicious intent, or anyone will give up that info if a gun is pointed to their families’ head. They don’t have to be a bad actor, the KYC data and knowledge of your self custody setup is the enemy. It will always leak eventually.

@Liana Wallet wallet will install and use a bitcoin node with a single click. No more trying to setup some crazy electrum server and connecting failures

@Liana Wallet can launch the current best in class Bitcoin wallet with a pruned node that requires minimal storage space with a single click. No trying to separately install, manage, and connect a node or electrum server yourself. People claiming this is not possible are living in the BTC equivalent of the Stone Age. Go out and touch grass.
