You certainly don't have to cut them slack. I just think in general, there should be some way to keep/recover keys so people don't lose their bag. Although, maybe finding your own method of preservation is the ultimate responsibility that folks need to take on

2023-05-17 15:49:12 UTC

Everyone needs to cut Ledger some slack. It might not be perfect and I'm skeptical, but if you want to see more #btc adoption, there needs to be a better way to store and recover keys. #grownostr

Keep in mind that people are 'resisting' to the degree that they're able to and that there are varying degrees of 'resistance'. Not everyone who lives in the city is a rube. You can grow a small garden in the suburbs, you can store food in your basement, you can hold #btc and use #nostr, you can DIY what you can, take advantage of buy nothing groups, consume less, and much more. Let's support and encourage EVERYONE who's trying. #grownostr

This is an incredibly accurate visual of the process, one I've gone through myself. I feel like once smart contract functionality is widely adopted on the btc chain, the value prop for eth etc will be lost

As a holder of 'slave currency' and 'slave equities'? That I hope to partially find my n retirement, I hope you're not totally correct. I, of course, am a #btc stacker but also participate in modern society as I suspect you do. People are pretty quick to say fiat and/or equities are crap, but if they go to zero, we'll all be effed

Thanks for the comment. I appreciate how the protocol is decentralized but I worry about so much in the hands of so few.

2023-05-06 15:12:01 UTC

Can anyone explain to me how #bitcoin #btc is decentralized if @npub15dq…lm5m owns 1% of all bitcoin and 14,000 wallets own 60% of ALL bitcoin. What if we replaced the word 'whale' with 'oligarch'? Not sure how having so few people owning so much of btc makes it less susceptible to manipulation. This is s concern. Maybe I'm wrong?
