It’s always GM somewhere.

Money used to be - by its nature - fundamentally independent of most government manipulation until modern paper printed money turned it into a completely captured government tool of corruption… which bitcoin solves by restoring money to its fundamentally independent state again, uncontrollable by any particular authority, and thus far less corruptible.

I’m very lucky to have such a dad.

Scam Alert:
A few years back, my brother bought some bitcoin from Coinbase Pro. Today, he finally wanted to take it off to a wallet. (Yay!)
I wasn’t watching as he typed in coinbasepro.com and was taken to a scam webpage that looked exactly like the Coinbase front page.
•That URL is not an address owned or used by Coinbase! Please be careful!•
His password obviously “didn’t work” and the page instructed him to call a number for phone support.
The scammer got him to log in to his account and was trying to get him to transfer his bitcoin to another wallet before I realized what was happening and said, “Bullshit, log out!”
The guy in the phone started to try to talk him out of logging off, but he did as I said, and the guy on the phone hung up on us.
We then took steps to secure his coin. Tomorrow we meet again to lock down his custody and backups.
Happy ending (this time) and a valuable lesson (for us). But what about the next victim, the next time?
Please share this warning any way you can. Hopefully, such warning stories may save others.

Same road trip … my buddy, #TheLittleHODLer, enjoying his first time camping out. https://cdn.zbd.gg/ugc-uploads/d145cf92-1698175231011.jpeg

Drove across half the continent to visit my Dad for his 84th birthday. Took #TheLittleHODLer with me. Here he is at his first McDonalds. https://cdn.zbd.gg/ugc-uploads/c2f2e809-1698081753730.jpeg

GF out of town. Sent me a coupon she got for her favorite coffee shop. Said to enjoy it for her, since she can’t. Went & got Pumpkin Cream Cheesecake & a latte.
•Flashed my phone at the QR code on their payment screen, & paid with sats!•
We are winning! Deliciously!

I usually get kicked out with nothing, but when I •do• get some sats just for trying, it’s a very gratifying feeling.

Newbie here for the whole “alpha project” experience… the best time to be involved with anything!
