Was thinking about how retail didn't participate the last couple years and that it's mostly been institutions.
I wonder if we need a flattening or downturn in the stock market or gold or real estate to build back retail interest.

This is near me. 1900 acre of land, the multinational German company is going to the state of Michigan to usurp authority over municipality.... The people living there don't want it.

@nprofile…hevn @nprofile…ecfu
People 300 years ago would think video chat over Internet was witchcraft and they should be burned alive or drowned.
The idea of even burning something to death is too radical. Whereas 300 years ago, of course you burn witches alive.
People back then believed evil was a real thing you had to fight, viciously and with force.
Whereas now, eh, evil, eh God isn't real, that's bull shit.
It's dangerous, to think evil isn't real that's doesn't need to be fought with force, and we have a giant cabal of pedophiles that run the world.
Excellent stuff Cason

Unsubscribed from Robert breed love what is money podcast.
His series with Saylor was crucial in my understanding of Bitcoin.
I've enjoyed many of his interviews..
But he's just weird. I know he knows he's weird... Too serious.
Idk, I tire of deep meaningful conversations usually.
He seems, as one of my friends said, slimy

Bitcoin taught me the world runs on energy
Whether is fire. Or food. Or homes. Or water. Or a city.
It all runs off energy and channeling it and using it.

2025-12-03 04:58:45 UTC

Listening to @nprofile…tkhj on @nprofile…hevn ....
In regards to setting up a fedi...
Everyone knows me as the Bitcoin guy.
I don't know anyone who is a fraction of a percentage down the road of possibly even owning Bitcoin.
Mich less using it as freedom money and not simply NGU.
The idea of getting ppl I know on a fedi is preposterous.
Not hating the idea or proposal, it's just not realistic for me.
Maybe I'm spoiled with spoiled friends with financial priveledge

2025-11-22 22:43:18 UTC

I don't know why you'd use anything other than a seedsigner
One lil device. Can make at home or buy one. Open source.
Device doesn't hold your key, just homemade qr code cards for signing transactions.
Wish I'd have found this years ago

I have a string of posts with a couple others on this.
In my very humble opinion, 3 key multisig you shouldn't really need metal plates as backups.
I might be switching to seed signer for my multisig setup

2025-11-16 14:42:43 UTC

Rob Hamilton has single handedly made me not use anchor watch.
For now.
I really wanna use them.
But he seems kinda douchy and too institutionalized

2025-11-14 04:08:54 UTC

- reply

I would love to set and forget. I did that with single sig for like 5 years w ledger.
Then I read a book and deep dived.
Then I went all in.
Then I went cold card single for like a year. Always made me nervous having single.
6 mos or so ago I did the multi.
IDK I might just leave my multi setup for now for a while...3 diff device manufacturers....just the ledger doesn't work. But ya I still have the seed

Good point, appreciate it
I just ordered a seedsigner this evening.
Yes, I might use my coldcard for one of the signers.
You can keep the wallet config on printed sheet tho, with each of your keys.
Speaking with all humility tho obv
Glad I'm making sense tho. All my edu is from YouTube and podcasts

2025-11-14 01:34:32 UTC

- reply

No...I have one of them stamped ( from when I used as single sig)
Again, I might just switch to seedsigner for long term storage...then just backup the seeds in 3 diff geo locations

2025-11-13 22:10:54 UTC

- reply

Per my recent post, think I'm gonna switch my cold storage to seed signer.
What bitcoin did episode with him on it was fantastic.

2025-11-13 22:10:12 UTC

After listening to what bitcoin did podcast with seedsigner, I'm gonna get one and use that for my cold storage I think.
I just can't come up with a reason to store multi sig 3 diff devices when I could just store the seed w corresponding qr codes.

2025-11-10 04:09:18 UTC

Tested my multi sig this evening.
I use sparrow, with three diff devices.
Trezor worked fine.
Ledger would not sign with sparrow, kept getting error.
ColdcardQ wouldn't recognize the psbt file on sd card. (Tried two diff cards)
ColdcardQ qr code could not be read by computer camera.
Ended up taking video with my phone or coldcard qr code, then scanning it
Worked, but I'm considering doing unchained or anchorwatch because of these concerns.
Sometimes I wonder if id be better just single sig on coldcard q w passphrase

2025-11-04 04:25:48 UTC

The most recent Michael malice interview with Tim pool has me thinking.... Tim pool is worth listening to.
I listened here n there 4-5 years ago. I enjoyed him, but he seemed a bit doomy n gloomy.
I'm beginning to think he just looks further ahead than many commenters.
I wonder if he's right about the next 5-10 years.
Gonna start listening a bit again.

Got a dog in 2020.
He loved me. Still loves me, but
I started dating this girl in 2022. Got married in 2024.
He loves her more now.
Literally will sit with her way more than he wants to sit with me.
He still respects me more than her.
When I'm not home for the night, my wife says he's on edge.
But I sorta lost him to her.
Just random thoughts

Something with my old galaxy s20 messed up with the camera...
So I just bought a "new" used one on eBay.
And people say phones are so expensive now.... I only paid like $170.
Definitely something I would have spent more on and upgraded without Bitcoin

2025-07-12 12:33:33 UTC

A slightly breakthrough moment with the wife. She's not against it, she just trusts me on finances and big picture stuff...and given my obsession, she has no pallet for the topic.
I explained to her how two years ago, a very short time ago, we could have bought my house for 8 or 9 Bitcoin. Today we could buy my house for ~2.5 Bitcoin.
Her: "wow that is crazy"
Me: now you know why I don't wanna buy a new house anytime soon. The prices keep dropping.

Don't ever get lasik.
I know a guy, 40ish, got it done. He says he can see fine, but it's different. He gets headaches sometimes, and he suspects it's from the LASIK. He says it's hard to describe, but he sees differently than before. Mind you, his surgery was successful. But he told me he wouldn't do it again. As he said, takes 5 seconds every morning to put in contacts. Or just wear glasses.
He told me he's talked to quite a few ppl with similar issues.
Also my wife's ex bf got it and he's going was blind from it.
Don't get lasik.

@nprofile…q0jg most recent @nprofile…0m5k podcast #603 with Dr Mary Bowden.
99% of doctors are employees
77% employed by hospitals (my note, increasingly behemouth monopolies nationwide)
20% by employed by insurance companies or private equity firms
2% employes by government
That leaves 1% independent and "3rd party free" (not contracted w insurance co hospitals or government)

I slowed down the video to 0.75x for this chart, and it blew me away.
For every 12.7% increase in days in the life of Bitcoin, the adoption doubles and the price doubles.

It's not like I don't have it. I'm just tryna stack sats right now...and save for baby.
Sheesh. I thought I was cheap before.

2025-01-11 15:33:30 UTC

I wish Jonathan Bier were on here so I could zap him some sats.
After owning *some* Bitcoin for years, I read his book. and my first Bitcoin book, The Blocksize War.
It's an amazing book. Nostr users may not think this, but the average person wouldn't believe a book about the war between big block bitcoiners and small blockers could possibly be a page-turner with great story lines.
But it is a fast fun read, and it ultimately orange pilled me.

Currently single sig air gapped. Currently nervous about single sig failure via theft or loss. But nervous about multi sig.
Nervous about using unchained as multisig, in that I don't like them having my xpub.
Want to do self multisig via Sparrow, but nervous about keeping my own xpub (all corresponding multisig wallet configuration info) and losing it, even if I store the file with each of the private keys.
Multisig just seems a bit more complex, another layer of understanding.

I tried to runs Bitcoin node. I suppose the failure was purchasing a HDD instead of an SSD. it was so slow downloading. then somehow I bricked the drive.
idk I gave up.
should I go drop $150 and get that SSD and get back on the horse?
I should say, I've installed Ubuntu Linux on old computers, flashed custom roms back in the day to android phones, so I'm not a complete tech noob.

Unfortunately, the Fountain app is simply not as good as Podcast Addict.
I've used Addict for many years, it's great.
I switched to Fountain around 8 months ago. I added sats from my stash. I have been tipping and zapping for good shows.
But the Fountain app would occasionally delete an episode, or no longer let me listen to a show, or some other strange things that inhibited my podcast enjoyment.
Two weeks ago I switched back to Addict, and it's just so smooth.
But now at least I have Nostr so I can zap podcasters on here for good shows.
