Can you imagine how difficult it will be as the non-techies start learning self-custody? This IS the end game. Self-ID... The rights circus is going to be dystopian! I remember the buzz during the btc/pizza days... Bitcoin was like those fleeting movements you see in your peripheral vision... Intermittently there, but just out of sight... I consider myself to be reasonably intelligent... I got in and out at 750😭... Struggled for decades trying to learn self-custody with paper wallets which seemed basic/safe enough for me... But then the seed phrases came out and no paper wallet needed these, so cognitive dissonance set in... I then doubled down on paper wallets with the bitaddressorg generator. Then provenance started gnawing at my mind... So then i tried wallet apps on a cheap phone with cheap plan which ended with simjacking. Then I tried learning how to use the bitcoin machines and that was a mild success minus the KYC!... Well fiat dollars came out when I needed them, but those machines, the 2-way Bitcoin ATMs, are rare birds... It seemed like only buy, buy, buy machines were everywhere... The assymetry of 1-way to 2-way BTC atms started to gnaw at me... Then coinbase doxxed me... Aside from all my poor decisions, I still believe in the potential of bitcoin... Here's hoping it won't be co-opted by Fiat. Maybe that was the plan. A sort of collar for the dollar😁?... But attack dogs CAN lose their collars AND their leashes... Just thinking out loud...
It’s sad to see so many people so hooked on every word the news says. Only thing we can do is drop seeds and hope they begin to sprout

Hahaha yes. Just buying $10 of bitcoin is too risky. Buying thousands of dollars of shitcoins is the shit though.
