Bitcoin passphrase vs. multisig: Which is right for you?
Two approaches people often consider to gain additional bitcoin security are a passphrase (a one-word secret) and multisig (secures your bitcoin with multiple keys). Let’s see how these two approaches compare. 👇
Singlesig + passphrase
By adding a passphrase to your singlesig wallet, you add a 13th or 25th word of your choosing to your seed phrase, which generates a wholly separate and unique wallet from the default wallet generated without a passphrase. You can create an infinite number of passphrase wallets associated with a single seed phrase backup and hardware wallet.
A passphrase adds some protection in that it distributes your risk across three critical items (your device, seed phrase backup, and your passphrase), but it still has a major single point of failure. If your passphrase is ever lost or forgotten, your bitcoin are gone forever because you no longer have the key to the bitcoin wallet.
Multisig
Multisig is a bitcoin custody model where you construct a wallet using multiple bitcoin keys instead of just one. Multisig is very flexible, allowing wallet developers and even users to set the total number of keys used to construct the wallet (n) and the number of those keys required to spend (m). This creates what’s called an m-of-n quorum. There are practically infinite ways to approach multisig, but the most popular approaches are 2-of-3 (three keys total, with any two keys required to spend) and 3-of-5 (five keys total, with any three needed to spend).
Comparing passphrase with multisig: 7 points to consider
1⃣ Convenience - SS + passphrase is more convenient than DIY multisig but similar to collaborative custody multisig
2⃣ Ease of backup - It’s easier to back up a single hardware wallet, a seed phrase, and a passphrase than back up all the keys and seed phrases necessary to properly store your bitcoin in a standard multisig wallet.
3⃣ Availability - To understand the differences between passphrase and multisig for availability of access, you have to consider multiple possible scenarios: singlesig with and without properly secured passphrases, standard multisig, and collaborative custody multisig. Each of these has different availability of access profiles.
4⃣ Transaction costs - Mining fees in periods of low demand for block space are very cheap, leaving this category often irrelevant. However, it remains true that multisig transactions are more expensive than singlesig transactions. Using a passphrase with singlesig doesn’t add anything additional to the mining fee above standard singlesig; the mining fees are directly correlated with the number of keys involved in the transaction.
5⃣ Fault tolerance - Multisig shines against singlesig with a passphrase and singlesig in general when it comes to fault tolerance. That’s because the nature of multisig (and, again, proper key storage and seed phrase backups!) makes it very difficult to lose enough keys (and the necessary wallet configuration information) to lose access to your funds.
6⃣ Resisting attacks - Altogether, multisig has the slight upper hand for attack resistance. In 2-of-3, an attacker would have to physically compromise at least two physical locations without your knowledge and have specific knowledge that the discovered keys are used in multisig and compromise your multisig configuration information.
7⃣ Financial services - Collaborative custody multisig opens the door to financial services done in a trust-minimized way, such as collateralized loans (where three parties can share custody of funds so that all parties have transparency as to the state of the funds on the blockchain). It also uniquely solves for the problem of bitcoin inheritance.
Can you add a passphrase to multisig?
Yes, you can add passphrases to one or more of the keys used in your multisig m-of-n scheme. But should you? Most bitcoin users set up multisig wallets without passphrases because multisig already eliminates a given hardware wallet or seed phrase as a single point of failure. Adding passphrases can add unnecessary complexity, and unnecessary complexity diminishes security rather than improves it.
=====================
Every decision you make regarding bitcoin custody involves trade-offs. Perhaps multisig helps you sleep better at night, but you might have to drive several hours to get to that second key if you want to benefit from geographically-distributed keys. Or maybe you have to wait for your collaborative custody partner to verify your identity to sign with their key.
Choosing between singlesig (with or without a passphrase) and multisig isn’t an A or B choice; the answer for you might even be both! Maybe you want to secure the more significant portion of your net worth in a multisig collaborative context for peace of mind while keeping smaller amounts for easy access available in a software wallet on your phone.
It’s all about looking at your situation and finding a balance of trade-offs that work best for you and your family or organization.

6 reasons to own bitcoin in retirement 👇
1⃣ Bitcoin helps broaden your asset allocation base - Diversified asset allocation remains a well-conceived strategy for moderating risk. While still in its relative infancy, bitcoin represents an entirely new asset class. Because of this, owning at least some bitcoin, especially due to its distinct properties when compared to other “cryptocurrencies,” provides an opportunity to broaden your asset base and more effectively distribute your overall risk.
2⃣ Bitcoin offers a hedge against inflation and currency debasement - In contrast to fiat currencies, no one can increase the supply and arbitrarily reduce bitcoin’s value. This fact makes bitcoin uniquely scarce among global monetary assets. Ultimately, this scarcity, along with bitcoin’s other monetary properties, should safeguard its purchasing power. As such, owning bitcoin during retirement offers you a hedge against inflation.
3⃣ Bitcoin offers an opportunity for asymmetric returns - Its supply is fixed (there will only ever be 21,000,000 bitcoin), and demand for the asset is growing steadily. As this limited supply collides with increased store-of-value adoption from individuals, institutions, and governments, bitcoin has the potential to dwarf the returns of nearly every competing asset class.
4⃣ Bitcoin offers protection from the risk of long-term bonds - Bitcoin exists in a separate asset class from bonds; it is a bearer instrument that is not exposed to the same money market risks, such as higher interest rates that suppress the value of bonds.
5⃣ Bitcoin offers a potential solution for long-term healthcare risk - Bitcoin’s usefulness as an inflation hedge and its potential for long-term price appreciation make it interesting as an explicitly-dedicated-hedge for this rapidly increasing expense in retirement.
6⃣ Bitcoin offers you individual sovereignty - If you hold bitcoin securely in a wallet you control, no central bank can steal the value of your bitcoin by printing it into oblivion. No CEO can dilute its value by issuing more of its “shares.” Nor can a bank arbitrarily block access to or confiscate your funds. Unlike centralized financial custodians, which can be ordered to freeze or withhold funds on the whims of government or other third-party authorities, bitcoin with keys properly held is resistant to these kinds of overreach.

Where should you store or bitcoin seed phrase backups?? 👇
A good framework for deciding how to store your seed phrases might be to consider the following for yourself or your organization:
🤔Are you using the correct custody model (should you use multisig to eliminate single points of failure)?
🤔What is the current or expected future value of your bitcoin?
🤔What is the safety status of your country/state/city/neighborhood?
🤔What unexpected natural disasters could reasonably put your seed phrases at risk?
🤔Don’t overcomplicate it. Unnecessary complexity is a security threat. You can be your own worst enemy.
Each custody model comes with its own set of tradeoffs:
🔸Singlesig - You only have one seed phrase to secure, but if that's compromised, your bitcoin is compromised.
🔸Singlesig + passphrase - With a passphrase, you avoid the risky practice of using just a seed phrase, but it still allows for single points of failure—if your passphrase is lost, so is your bitcoin.
🔸Multisig - Eliminates single points of failure, but requires multiple secure locations for key material.
🔸Shamir’s Secret Sharing Scheme - Resembles multisig by splitting a single key, but requires a single point of failure at creation and spending time.
Now let's talk about locations for your seed phrases. Here are a few places you should NOT store them:
❌ Out in the open
❌ A drawer/cupboard/shelf
❌ In a filing cabinet
❌ In your bag
❌ At your workplace, unlocked
Here are the best places to store your seed phrases:
✅ Home safe (suitable for SS, SS+passphrase, multisig, SSSS)
✅ A second location on your property (suitable for SS, SS+passphrase, multisig, SSSS)
✅ Safe-deposit box (suitable for multisig, SSSS)
✅ A trusted family member 9 suitable for multisig, SSSS)

Bitcoin is an amazing tool for financial independence.
"Bitcoin has many features that make it the best money the world has ever seen. No-one controls it. It is permissionless and open to anyone. It can be sent across the world instantly, for a very low cost, and at any size – large or small. It is resistant to seizure and censorship. It is cheaply and easily verifiable and cannot be faked.
But arguably the most important feature, especially in the context of storing your hard-earned value, is that bitcoin is absolutely scarce. It has a hard-capped supply of 21,000,000 units that cannot be changed. One bitcoin will always equal one twenty-one millionth of the total supply.
This is in stark contrast to the supply of dollars, which is consistently increasing. Nobody on the planet, including those in charge of the current monetary system, knows what the supply of dollars is at any given time or what it will be in the future. The one thing we do know is that because our money is engineered to lose value over time, that’s exactly what will happen. Accepting the certainty of monetary debasement is not an option, so instead we are forced to invest in other assets that are harder to produce than fiat money but also have virtually unlimited supply."

7 reasons to run your own bitcoin node
If you’re wondering why you should run a bitcoin node yourself, there are many benefits to consider—both personally and for the security and resiliency of the bitcoin ecosystem.
1⃣ Enforce the bitcoin ruleset - Enforcing the ruleset helps uphold the integrity of bitcoin. If there is ever a proposed fork—a change in the rules—with which you disagree, running a node enables you to resist the change and continue to support the existing rules.
2⃣ Verify received transactions without third parties - Verifying received transactions with your own node offers you proof that nothing has been manipulated and no transaction you’ve received violates the ruleset.
3⃣ Improve your privacy - Using your own node prevents exposing identifying information about yourself unnecessarily, and your broadcasted transactions are relayed in the same way as any transaction, which helps protect the node’s identity.
4⃣ Get local access to blockchain data - Running your own node gives you better access to information about bitcoin and the bitcoin blockchain. There are a couple of powerful tools that help in this regard, the most notable being a locally-hosted block explorer.
5⃣ Help bolster the decentralization of bitcoin - When you run your own node at home, you take possession of a copy of the bitcoin blockchain and ruleset and maintain it at your unique physical location. No one can prevent you from accessing your node or limit your ability to use it.
6⃣ Run a Lightning node and open payment channels - A Lightning node is best run in tandem with a bitcoin archival full node (although it is possible to set one up without a bitcoin node, there are privacy and security trade-offs).
7⃣ Increase your bitcoin knowledge - Running your own bitcoin node offers all the advantages outlined above while increasing your knowledge of bitcoin and the key components that make it work. With the knowledge and experience you gain from running a node, bitcoin becomes more useful to you, and you’re able to help others use it as well.
8⃣ (BONUS) Connect your @unchainedcom vault to your own bitcoin node - You can verify the balances and transactions in your Unchained vault directly on your own node by using open-source software like @SparrowWallet or Caravan.

𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐲 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐲 𝐌𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐨𝐫𝐲 (𝐌𝐌𝐓), where the rules of economics are as bendable as cartoon physics and money grows on trees, just waiting to be plucked!
In the land of Mickey Mouse Theory, Mickey has a giant money printing machine, churning out dollars faster than Goofy can tumble head over heels. In this colorful cartoon world, there's no need to worry about pesky things like inflation or national debt. Why? Because in the world of Mickey and friends, money is just another tool in the toolbox, ready to fix any economic hiccup.
Here's how it works: Whenever the Toontown economy looks a little gloomy, Mickey and his gang simply crank up the money machine. Roads are crumbling? Print more money. Schools need funding? Just add more zeroes to the budget. It's all in a day's work for our animated pals, who never face the consequences of overspending.
Critics of Mickey Mouse Theory might scoff, saying this could lead to economic disaster in the real world. But fear not! In the magical realm of MMT, prices remain stable, supplies are endless, and every day is a boom in the economy with no bust in sight. The idea is that as long as there's idle capacity — whether it's unused land, unemployed workers, or factories not running at full tilt — our cartoon government can keep spending without triggering inflation. It's like having an endless supply of Acme products, but for the economy!
The most magical part? According to proponents like Minnie Mouse (with her honorary economics degree), this isn't just fantasy. They argue that as long as a country controls its currency, it can manage its economy just like Mickey manages his clubhouse — with a smile, a song, and a never-ending stream of cash.
Of course, in the real world, economists would warn us that unchecked money printing can lead to inflationary pressures, much like too many cartoon characters in one episode can lead to chaotic plotlines. But in the cheerful episodes of Mickey Mouse Theory, such worries are for another day. Today, it's all about solving problems with a happy tune and a freshly printed stack of bills.
So, let's tip our ears to Mickey and his fantastical approach to fiscal policy. In the world of Mickey Mouse Theory, every day is an adventure, every problem has a solution, and the economy is just another episode in the ongoing cartoon saga. Who knew economics could be so animated?

The bitcoin Halving is coming soon.
The attached video demonstrates how to check the block subsidy at any block height using Bitcoin Core. You can follow these same steps at block heights 839,999 and 840,000 to watch The Halving unfold.
===========================
The Halving provides a shining demonstration of the hardness of bitcoin, not only in the sense of its absolutely finite supply, but also in the decentralized consensus mechanism at play to enforce the rules of the game. Bitcoin is hardened to the influence of any individual, government, or corporation. No committee or dictator is required to manage bitcoin's monetary policy. It simply works.
Every 210,000 blocks (~4 years), bitcoin's issuance rate is halved, which will continue to its maximum total supply of 21 million BTC. This issuance rate is also referred to as the block "subsidy", which is paid to each miner that finds a new block to be added to the bitcoin blockchain (aka "timechain").
The subsidy started at 50 BTC per block, and it has halved 3 times in the past to the current level of 6.25 BTC. So every new block, which is added approximately every 10 minutes, introduces 6.25 BTC of new supply into the bitcoin ecosystem (~900 BTC per day).
The next Halving will occur in just a few days at block height 840,000. At that time, the block subsidy will be halved again to 3.125 BTC (~450 BTC per day).
By running bitcoin protocol software, you have the ability (yes, YOU) to fully verify the entire system, including The Halving. Bitcoin allows you to be your own central bank.
Take your monetary sovereignty into your own hands!

Bitcoin will eat all store-of-value assets...even AIRPLANE ENGINE RESERVES ✈️
Here's an overview 👇👇
Airplane engine reserves are specifically set aside by airlines and owners of private aircraft to cover the costs associated with engine maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO). These reserves ensure that engines remain in optimal condition throughout their service life.
Engine reserves are often calculated on a per-flight-hour basis. This means that for every hour an airplane is in the air, a predetermined amount of money is allocated to the engine reserve fund.
These reserves are a crucial component of the financial planning strategy for airplane ownership. They help owners manage the substantial costs of engine maintenance without impacting operational budgets unexpectedly.
For leased aircraft, engine reserve contributions can be a key part of lease agreements. Lessees may pay engine reserves to lessors, ensuring that the engine's value is maintained over the lease term.
The amount set aside in engine reserves can vary significantly depending on the type of engine, its maintenance schedule, and the cost of parts and labor. Engines with higher performance and maintenance costs will typically require larger reserves.
Engines are subject to intense wear and tear due to the extreme conditions they operate in. Engine reserves act as a form of insurance, ensuring that funds are available for necessary maintenance and parts replacement.
Maintaining adequate engine reserves is also a matter of regulatory compliance. Aviation authorities may require airlines to demonstrate that they have sufficient funds allocated for maintenance and repairs.
By ensuring that engines are regularly maintained and overhauled, engine reserves contribute significantly to the overall safety of air travel. Proper maintenance reduces the risk of engine failures and other in-flight issues.
The cost of maintaining engine reserves is one of the many operational expenses that can influence airline ticket prices. Efficient management of these reserves can help airlines control costs and offer competitive pricing.
Beyond immediate maintenance needs, engine reserves help airlines future-proof their operations. By setting aside funds for engine overhauls, airlines can extend the operational lifespan of their aircraft, ensuring sustainability and profitability in the long term.
------------------------------------------------------
Of course, bitcoin is the best asset on the planet for storing capital reserves. Anyone responsible for maintaining an engine reserve should consider bitcoin as that vehicle.
I don't have my own plane (yet 😀), so this engine reserve concept was new to me. Unchained has at least one client doing this (you know who you are!).
Any other pilots or aircraft owners using bitcoin for your engine reserve?

Property taxes are so insidious.
Other people print money, causing the nominal value of your house to increase.
Property taxes are assessed on the current value of your home, so as the property value rises, so does your tax bill.
But that extra home value is not liquid and therefore not accessible to pay the increased tax burden.
If the property tax rises too much, some people may need to take on debt or even sell the property to pay it.
This should not stand in any civilized society.

"Gold is used in jewelry and electronics, so it has intrinsic value."
This is a terrible argument for gold as competition for bitcoin.
Firstly, value is subjective and intrinsic value doesn't exist.
Secondly, using gold for non-monetary uses devalues it as a money.
Money is not meant to be consumed. Its purpose is to store value and exchange it for consumables or investments in the future.

Yesterday my daughter asked me how starfish eat.
I didn't know the answer so I looked it up.
Aaaaaaand then of course I drew a parallel to bitcoin mining.
Starfish have a remarkable method of feeding by everting their stomach to digest prey outside their bodies. They tackle hard-shelled bivalves, employing a persistent effort to pry them open and access the nourishment inside.
This meticulous process mirrors how #bitcoin miners seek out hard-to-reach energy resources. In places where energy might be abundant but inaccessible or under-utilized, bitcoin mining can step in to tap into these resources.
By setting up mining operations near remote or otherwise stranded energy sources, miners can convert what would be wasted energy into a valuable resource - bitcoin. This mirrors the starfish’s ability to unlock a sealed source of sustenance.
Much like the starfish moves from one bivalve to another in a continual hunt for nourishment, bitcoin miners adapt and move to where energy is accessible and affordable, ensuring the relentless churn of the network continues.
Both processes reveal a fascinating blend of opportunism and efficiency, whether in nature or in the digital realm. By harnessing hard-to-reach resources, starfish and bitcoin miners both contribute to their respective ecosystems in a unique and essential way.
Thank you for listening to my TED talk! https://image.nostr.build/0d41338be2672098f5c082c964901fe8f8a6575fc3bd2f7c1b04222243c73b9a.jpg

Bitcoin is a hedge for both inflation and deflation.

No. Used to but after I realized that the anonymity set continually decreases over time I decided to stop.
Better to coinjoin before spending or use other tools. Lightning is better for privacy and ecash will have a role in the future too IMO.

Stacking sats into cold storage is the number one thing you can do for bitcoin adoption and it's not even close.
Number Go Up FTW
