Last Notes npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium Sounds reasonable. But I couldn’t even persuade my best friends (honest, rational people) not to take the jab. npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium I want to agree but am not hopeful since I read Mattias Desmet his fantastic book on this topic. npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium They will not fold. This is the psychology of totalitarianism. No matter their IQ. npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium *three weeks npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium Interesting, why do you think that? npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium Can you dive a level deeper? Why would 1BTC = 1BTC a problem? npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium How is this different for you than pricing other free market goods or for example public traded stocks. Does it matter what the unit of account is? Shells, gold, fiat money or bitcoin? We have had many systems for measuring distance, weight and value. Bitcoin is nothing more than the evolution of money. npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium In times of war both sides express their anxiety and anger in ways we despise. Yet they are the way of war. npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium Doesn’t this weaken protection against the evil maid scenario since a yubi does not have pin protection like hardware wallets? npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium I think David Bowie would love this cat a lot. npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium You lost one of the seed phrases but didn’t you have one hardware wallet left that had all of the xpubs/derivation parhs? npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium Ouch! Yes in case you lose a key you need the original keystore to recover. npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium Convenience or necessity? Can I know your seed phrases then? npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium But i practiced a lot, all kinds of scenarios. But in the end its the seed phrases that make you hardware wallet and vendor independent. That’s a comforting thought. npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium When restoring from seed phrases i did not use the original keystore file. I created an entirely new setup based on the same seed phrases, probably even in a different order and confirmed i could see the funds and transact them. npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium I haven’t experimented with the order of the keys in the keystore. npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium As long as you tested the setup and have the seed phrases there can be no disaster. npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium I created a multi sig with sparrow and three cold card, tested it every way I could, including restoring from seeds. Everything cool. I did have one glitch where one coldcard in the multi sig said invalid transaction when signing when psbt was created with sparrow. When psbt was created with blue wallet the same colcard device would sign it. Loading the multi sig config again on that device solved that. Reported this to coinkite support got a we don’t care response, probably Sparrow. npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium I think the Chinese miner-ban was also a blessing. Imagine not truly knowing what a substantial miner-ban would mean for bitcoin. Same with the silly ordinals. I think they will not survive and only make the network stronger by having been part of the evolution of Bitcoin. npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium IMHO Ordinals are a blessing. They teach us what it means to be a permission-less network. They prepare the network for worse. Without them a bigger attack could come as a nasty surprise. Ordinals are part of growing up. I suspect more Ordinal-like attempts will be made, and why not? It's a permission-less network. Miner are free to exclude them. npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium Seems the sun is even better off npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium Probably nothing… 😶 npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium https://m.primal.net/IbvG.png npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium Inflation is everywhere. npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium Within a Bitcoin network could a node with sufficient resources experience a fluctuating amount of connections? At one moment there are say 12 peer connections. Just a few minutes later just 1 or even 0. npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium Great episode. I don't seem to be able to access the digitalwitness website. Is it down? npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium Started running a bitcoin node today with @npub1agh…mhct npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium Cool. Do you know when and where? npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium I kinda find narrow layout more tidy, wide less coherent. But thats me. npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium Oh no! I can’t toggle Wide feed layout back to normal. Wût? npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium to me hope. npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium GM, momentum is growing. npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium Interesting. Which book would you recommend as as a good intro to his work? 🙏 npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium I’m waiting for the movie 21 million lies. npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium https://m.primal.net/IGxm.jpg npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium It was the era (still is) of peak irrationality. Like this: npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium Thank you! 🙏 npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium Great book. Loved it. npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium Anyone knows what's going on with Kraken Europe? Had two people today that asked for help cause they are locked out. npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium Sounds like government npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium Sounds like the ultimate way to stay in your bubble. I imagine an LLM that is highly personalized and every answer it gives me I will consider truth. My truth. I will not accept anyone else’s model. Talking to friends I will first ask them which model they use when they express their thoughts. npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium Hey Anton, bedankt. Ik ga ze beide eens proberen. npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium What lightning wallet would you advise for friends and family? npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium Text is jumping around. Hard to read. npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium What a show! Thanks Alex for all these years being a great source of inspiration npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium It was primarily Mike Benz his evaluation that blew my mind. Tucker did not say much in this episode 😀 npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium Social media turned out to become the attack vector undermining true democracy. We did not expect that. That’s why it’s not the constitution but decentralized protocols that will save it. npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium https://m.primal.net/Hsqw.png npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium This blew my mind! npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium In the vast ocean of global finance, the western monetary system was once hailed as the unsinkable Titanic, a marvel of economic strength and stability. Its structure, supported by the gold standard, was believed to be invulnerable to the whims of economic icebergs lurking beneath the surface of international finance. This gold standard acted as the sturdy hull of the ship, providing a tangible backing to the value of currency and ensuring trust and stability in the system. npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium Why would a Devine have to grant permission? Sounds like he’s compromised. npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium I've just watched the whole interview. Yuval in this section is warning that the same surveillance tech used to monitor people during covid could also be misused against people for totalitarian purposes. The point he's making IMHO is that this tech is a double edged sword that must be understood and used accordingly. He is certainly not advocating for using this tech to determine what you think about the government. On the contrary. npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium What a great initiative Jay. It'll help getting the word out. I'd love to get a reminder. npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium This is awesome. I bought the book, but prefer to listen. npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium A must read! npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium Quit social media. Finish stuff on a daily basis. npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium Today! npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium Today! npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium I see. But losing funds in the process is not possible right? npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium Excessive free speech is equa an “unhosted” wallet. npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium Can coinjoins also be not so successful? Or even fail? npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium Whaha… that’s funny and truly a coincidence. I love his podcast by the way. Even though it’s another fucking bitcoin podcast. npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium Me trying to be more sovereign by adopting decentralized tech. Cause I think we’ll need it. npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium The intrinsic value of a tool lays in it ability to empower a human being. npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium For a second there I thought it was Walker, but no, it’s a new friend. Hi Ronnie 🤝 npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium I dumped Twitter and I'm here to stay. npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium The beauty of Bitcoin is that when GreenpeaceUSA wants to change the code, they can. npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium Deleted X for Nostr too. Have to admit feeling s bit lonely this early in the adoption curve. npub16gyjqhgdwdqmc7wxdp2kg9j9k5txlzps7ngz33fcdmxz0n6a0vls4749f6 mycelium What a great episode!
