I was very lucky, but the Coldcard fiasco cost me a lot, nonetheless.
I have an MK2 and a Q! Neither got drained, but half of my life's savings used to be kept on each of them. Today that is held by a different company's hardware.
When I learned of the problem I got out quickly but it's not a free thing to do... Those funds had to go somewhere. I wasn't just going to keep them in software wallets, right?
I had to go find a new HW wallet that doesn't suck, & I could buy in person... Naturally none were near me. So I spent a chunk of my day driving to where I could buy one, paying for their markup, driving home and then moving all my stash into a single piece of hardware instead of it more comfortably resting on two devices. Frankly I want even more than 2 but I refuse to have it shipped to my home address and getting a PO Box just to ship a single package or two to me doubles (or worse) the price. But I feel I have to do that soon anyway. Safety first.
So without even being a victim, I wonder how many people are spending multiple hundreds of dollars today over Coldcard's mistake? Could you imagine if we all asked for them to cover these bills? Lol.

I'm not knocking intent or bravery, just results. This is not the effective battlefield to be fighting flock on. The 4th amendment is very clear on this point and if you believe in your republic, it is clear that legislators should be making this bullshit illegal. It should never have been approved at all and someone needs some jailtime for implementing them.
I am not able to believe that the same republic that just let Israel buy Massy's seat in congress would be able to do that though... So in the short term, maybe it would make sense for me to go out and cancel a few of these cameras. But that's a risk my family shouldn't have to pay for if I'm caught.
Honestly, this government is in full dumpster fire mode. The only rational moves are to 1. Move to a less evil jurisdiction. 2. Go start up a new jurisdiction on the waves. (Or on mars even)

I just can't take the thought of forcing a circular economy on any place within the 1st world seriously. Circular economies work great, and exist today, in places where the money is broken.
Check out the profiles from each of the circular economies on FCBE.io for a few minutes and you'll catch the vibe easily; those in places with strong fiat and banks are just cute little 'hopes & prayers' projects. All of those across africa and other places with bad or no banks are flourishing. It's just that simple.

I must have failed to lay it out properly then. The fact that profitability is no longer as important as being present at the source of energy isn't up for debate. Every scale of bitcoin mining that isn't in your own home is currently either at a power generation site, or it is moving to one. Furthermore, every power producer, including all the biggies like texaco, BP, shell, even government-owned sites, they're all working on putting an appropriate amount of bitcoin mining equipment in their mix because before bitcoin existed, it was never possible to have a buyer of last resort for their product.
That one fact has changed the world economy in an undeniable way, much like gunpowder did. Gunpowder was an invention that if you didn't embrace, you die. Bitcoin mining is an invention that if power companies don't embrace, they become unable to compete & they die too. They'd just be losing too much money on the table during their grid's off-peak hours.

That's exactly what they pointlessly tried to do. And they still don't understand that they've failed to do that at scale.
The lightning network alone already routes more payments every minute than BCH can do all day. If they ever experienced any real popularity like BTC did back in 2017, they'd suffer the same fate, no matter how large their blocksize is.
Meanwhile, having a large blocksize restricts everyday plebs from running a node. Hardware costs go sky high pretty quickly as you raise that particular number. That means very few nodes on BCH exist (comparitively) and if bitcoiners wanted to, we could redirect a few nodes of our own and 51% attack BCH quite easily. It has been done several times.
So ultimately keeping payments on-chain is a security issue. The final boss for bitcoin is state attack, and that would be like handing them a leash around our necks.

Hi anon, good to meet someone on Nostr who's been in bitcoin even longer than me, even if you have turned to the dark side. I arrived in 2011, but was already an AnCap libertarian seasteading advocate by then so the concept of removing money from the state was extremely important to me and always will be. Anyway, you said a lot I wanted to respond to, so forgive me for going full reddit-mode on you here:
> "With normies storing coins (IOU) on CEX you are back to fractional reserves and price suppression."
Correction: Those fools who store their coins on a CEX are back to fractional reserves. Me, not so much. Exchanges have never held any of my net worth for more than a minute.
> "As someone who entered Bitcoin I'm 2010 I know your position very well, but you never bothered updating the talking points of the early days to the reality in 2026."
Why should I? My mission to remove money from state has never changed, and it's absolutely still on track to accomplish that. Just because Wall Street got a chunck of coins (that includes saylor) doesn't mean that they can change bitcoin's mission nor even eventual fate. We could never become money for the whole world without them, now could we?
> "Back then before Bitcoin got the NGU CEX KYC approval we knew what we were fighting for..."
Many still do. Those who don't will be forced to when they're staring down the double barrel of a mandated CBDC. Tons of countries already have one of those up for debate now.
> "because we discussed all the privacy enhacjng tech (that later only got implemented in Monero) we rightfully believed Bitcoin could become fungible money."
This was never my concern, because on-chain fungibility is already better than the fiat currencies' fungibility it is replacing. That's already an improvement, without removing money from the state yet. Meanwhile, we can always build more privacy on layer two, adding fungibility to the overall system. That'll only improve over time. You jumped ship too early bro.
> "And you seem to miss that (private) property depends on the state to be enforced."
Here's where we'll likely disagree fundamentally. I believe your private property is simply another form of your time. It certainly is exchangeable for your time. Do you need the state to enforce your time? Therefore, owning property has always been a basic human right and no government has the "right" to do anything with it. So taxation is theft, governments are illegitimate, and you are free to protect your private property by any means necessary. Sadly, we're ruled by violent gangs who don't agree, so that's why I'm a seasteading proponent... We'll build our own land and leave out the government this time.
> "So the only private property you really can enforce yourself needs privacy at its base."
I'm certainly not arguing that privacy is not needed. It just isn't needed on the bottom layer because that's a really freaking hard thing to do without breaking several things that make bitcoin awesome. Like accountability. We know right now that there will never be more than 21m BTC. Can you prove how much monero is in circulation? How many there will be in 1000 years from now?
> "Get back on track.....Monero, Bitcoin's earlier destiny the OGs that came before you signed up for."
Now hold on a damn minute. When I arrived, I spent half a year reading every last post of the bitcointalk forum, the cypherpunks mailing list, and lots of the sourceforge.net forum too. Of course plenty of people talked about wanting more privacy, but to say that "monero is Bitcoin's earlier destiny the OGs that came before" is imagining things. Satoshi took plenty of precautions (like telling wikileaks to back off) to stop the community from making an enemy of the state. I don't think he or Hal or Martii or many devs at all back then would have suggested making bitcoin's base layer totally private, at least not once they realized what true privacy does to the 21m limit. And even if they did, maybe they hadn't thought it thru far enough? Keeping bitcoin from being inflated is far more important to bitcoiners nowadays than privacy on the bottom layer is.
> "Bitcoin can't become private cash as envisioned by cypherpunks, not with LN and neither wiith cashu."
Then something else. Layer 46 then. Maybe one day monero will become a Bitcoin sidechain. The point is that Bitcoin _IS_ more private than dollars on the base layer already, and it is far more private still on the layers above that.
Seriously, why do you have to make "perfect" the enemy of "Good enough?"
> "don't build your Bitcoin maximalism on the weak thesis that everybody has the same needs as you."
I have built it on the inarguable thesis that if we must seperate money from state. Those who try to argue it simply don't understand how bad the state is and are basically children playing with fire, & desperately need our guidance.
> "Personally as an OG Bitcoiner I'd make a fool of myself or even endangering my family if I wouldn't store the majority of my holdings in Monero and only spend in the most private ways possible."
Whoa.... I hope that was a mistype! Are you really keeping the majority of your family's net worth in a coin that has lost 50% to BTC since it was launched, and that you can never know how many exist? Because it's more private? I'll take the higher security, acceptance, and performance of BTC over privacy alone, anyday of the week and twice on billpay day.
> "You are either naive (paying the bill later) highly technical (for never fucking up coinjoins in the future nor the trade partners of yours) or you missed out on the biggest gains despite being early."
None of the above. I've been 100% in bitcoin since 2016, Zero fiat held that whole time, and I simply sell BTC each month from a bunch of hardware wallets through CashApp or Strike or a similar service to immediately pay off the credit card bills that I used to purchase everything with, including rent. (Bilt rocks) I basically use Citi, BofA, Wells Fargo, and others as my 2nd layer, and in a bitcoin-only world, it would be the exact same setup. A line of credit is just too useful to go without. (Not to mention all the miles/points/freebies they give. Not trivial. My bilt points alone bought me airfare already.)

And yet, it's a sidechain. You keep advocating for them.
I personally have nothing against federated custodianship like liquid and Fedi, but I trust bitcoin more so my money stays there.

I can't image why you think "people must use lightning through a trusted third party (like lightspark)" First of all, who is lightspark? Never heard of them. Secondly, assuming your point is about custodial lightning solutions, why not use liquid, or eCash like Cashu? Or run your own lightning node and be your own custodian? Or just stay on chain for now because the cost of a TX is almost always 1 sat per byte these days.
The greatest thing about bitcoin's scaling solution is that it's not set in stone... It's a free market where anyone, from you to JP Morgan can add their own "layer 2 solutions" to make bitcoin payments practical. Many have, and the market will decide in time which everyone wants to use.

The argument for bitcoin always has and always will be that it is mankind's one single shot at trying to separate money from state. The challenge is that money itself, the very concept of it, is a network good, meaning that it lives & dies by the network effect. The more people that trade their dollars or altcoins or any other tokens in for bitcoin, the stronger it becomes, and the more successful we are at separating money from state.
Humanity is only going to get exactly 1 chance at doing that. Governments will see us coming miles away next time. They already see us, but bitcoin is too large for them to stop. Not so with any other coin. So if Bitcoin fails, for any reason, you can expect CDBCs to be the new definition of money for tens of thousands of years.

This point was brought up by roughly 50,000 pre-bitcoin maximalists during the years of 2012-2017. I have missed it! Very, very cute little misunderstanding you've got there, which led to the creation of most altcoins. But once you research bitcoin more you'll become a maximalist yourself.
I highly recommend you grab a copy of Saifedean Ammous' The Bitcoin Standard to correct this misunderstanding. A free way to do the same faster is to read through the Nakamoto Institute Library at: https://nakamotoinstitute.org/library/
Keep in mind that Bitcoin has the only design anyone has ever come up with to separate money from state. Mining seems wasteful to someone new to the subject, but Proof of Work is one of those once-in-10-millenium discoveries that will absolutely blow your brain when it clicks.

Tell me you don't know what censorship resistance is without telling me you're a flaming retard. Those are EXCHANGES, not bitcoin. Jesus!
And don't talk to me about fungibility. Dollar bills have serial numbers on them, they are still accepted 1:1 for each other unless blacklisted at a bank that is watching for them. Exactly the same here, except there is no formal network of banks watching. You're being silly. Bitcoin's fungibility is fine, and coins can be washed far easier than dollars if you're paranoid.

Altcoins have been around since 2013. I played with quite a few that year. When Ethereum launched, I was an insider in the right place at the right time, who could be sitting on $Billion$ right now if I didn't have my "high & mighty" bitcoin maximalist attitude. I'm not sorry.
That attitude exists, in all of the old school bitcoiners, to do exactly one thing: To protect bitcoin's censorship resistance. Something no altcoin or stablecoin will ever have. It served us very, very well during the blocksize war.
Just because you don't value censorship resistance (which is, let's face it, the only thing that keeps governments from stopping a competitor) doesn't mean bitcoiners don't. We're still laser focused on that task.

That explains a lot. Every day of 2017 was a day of bitcoiners suffering psychological attacks on every level from the mainstream media to our own "trusted" companies like Coinbase & BitGo. They took over forums like bitcointalk and r/btc. These guys were all so pernicious it felt like a real war at times, because they could just not act in good faith. That kind of focused energy against you takes a toll.
All of that split off into bitcoin cash and we were so happy for them to fork away into their own insignificant coin... Until, of course, they started declaring that Lightning is dead to everyone who would listen. And that trend has lasted several years now, typically as a tactic to swell BCH's ranks.

I know the argument but I disagree. Unless someone invented a way to made On-chain payments scale without the centralizing tradeoffs, Bitcoin had no other way to make it to visa-level TX activity. Now we've surpassed that, and as a lightning node runner it's given me an income, too.

So are any Bitcoiners going to discuss the whole influx of BCHNostr users? They make up half my trending feed every day now!
In case you weren't aware, these Bitcoin Cash fans have made their own Nostr client that strips out Lightning and puts BCH payments in its' place. And somehow, miraculously, they've gotten tons of users on here where I have to look at their posts every day. Half of the Philippines among them.
Many of the posts I see are filipinos introducing themselves as new to the BCH community and some even ask what BCH is in the first place... So I can only assume that the BCHNostr devs have a hell of a marketing team that gets normies in here without even knowing what BCH is.
Wouldn't be the first time BCHers have pulled that shit.
But the incredulous part is that BCH users are THE group of people that have been loudly declaring that Lightning doesn't work since the beginning. HOW FUCKING DARE they come in here and strip out a perfectly working lightning system to replace it with their own token?
That's just plain malicious... And it totally admits that lightning works at the same time. Malicious two-facedness.
So what's the play for bitcoiners who love Nostr? Do we simply mute them all (Our fingers would get tired) or do we have any more technical options to make users with BCHNostr in their address/profile disappear from our feeds? @nprofile…4pgr @nprofile…wh3a @nprofile…cd8v @nprofile…hs8c @nprofile…yza6 @nprofile…2ln2

Bitcoin SOLVED that problem, completely, the only way it can be solved, and it works for every last human on earth as long as they choose to opt in.
How long should we have to wait for them to opt in before we don't feel sorry about this kind of thing any longer? It's been since 2011 for me, I really can't care too much for anyone still calling bitcoin a scam in 2026.

DON'T BUY CRYPTO. Just buy Bitcoin and you'll be ahead of 99% of them.

We all know that the #1 objective was to distract us from the Epstein files.
Don't let them. Always refer to this as the Epstein war.

I dunno, it doesn't work quite like that. If trump has a bad case of holes in his head, then the VP is promoted & everyone you just named stays in place unless Vance promotes one of them to be his own VP. Perhaps in time he could rotate new folks into those appointment slots, but that's just unnecessary work from his perspective. Maybe if they clash with his new agenda, whatever that may be.

But what exactly does this accomplish? He's just Israel's latest in a loooooong line of compromised puppet leaders here. His VP Vance is clearly compromised in the exact same way or that hillbilly with an Indian wife would have no business whatsoever being in photos wailing at the wall in Jerusalem.
Face it, the USA has been occupied territory since at least November 1964 and possibly longer. If you really want to make a difference, the ones to take out are in Tel Aviv, not DC. (Although I wouldn't mind losing both.)
To narrow it down a bit for you, Wexler named a Rothschild. That's likely the family that really pulls the strings, even Israel's.

I guess he can't just end the Epstein war now that all the people in power in Iran are dead, how would he keep distracting us from the Epstein files then?

I'm trying to figure out what people need their agents to do in order for this to be attractive... Are they trying to make their bots into friends? Lovers? Equals?
Sounds like it'll cost some API credits to use, and if all you do is have your agent write artices and update your blog, spending all that coin on API credits so this thing can get a doctorate in medicine seems quite a stretch!

It's not fair to call it that in this case. When a whole major govt has to fall first in order to assassinate him, the market has an effective customer base of 1. (The USA) So it's not really a market anymore, not for that bet.

I don't know who needs to hear this, (actually yes I do its all Nostr Devs) but every minute we don't have a Nostr integration to OpenClaw we are missing opportunities BIGTIME.
Openclaw is taking AI to places no one dreamed of before. Some version of it will be in every housed by next year, FAR faster than Google ever took off.

It's an AI that runs AIs for you. Much like a butler in your household can direct your maids and chefs around, this AI gets shit done with minimal effort on your part.

Using openclaw yet? There's no reason that by this time next year everyone doesn't have their own very useful ai assistant helping them make money and assist with their daily needs. Creativity will flourish like never before in human history.
Cubicle jobs will be lost, for sure. But it will be easier, not harder, for everyone to make a living.

Problem is that she may have filled out the forms to give up US citizenship (Which cost quite a lot to file) but the process of the US no longer calling you their property takes over 10 years. So she can tuck her tail between her legs and come back here anytime for a decade and re-establish citizenship here. :p

Epstein was the real villain behind the blocksize Wars! We didn't win against Roger, Wu, & Gavin, we saved bitcoin from Epstein and the Mossad!!!
Damn, what a great bunch of releases today. Time to re-write the history books.

Imagine thinking efficiency-seeking AIs are sentient enough to make decisions on their own. They do what their (nocoiner) users prompt them to do.

Hey, that might even take off for a minute... But then it would be inferior to Nostr, and as more nocoiners become bitcoiners, very much less attractive to them.
Nostr may be slowed down by bitcoin topics here, but there are two obvious avenues for growth here: 1) Get more than 1% of bitcoiners using nostr, and 2) get more non-bitcoin content on nostr.
I say we do both and stop fuxxing with inferior forks.

I have no doubt that when prompted, an AI agent can and will recognize BTC as the best asset for it to hold and interact with. The problem is that agents work for people. They aren't sentient, no matter how scary Moltbook looks.
So yes, they'll hodl for you. But it's still your sats in the bot's wallet. There is no addition of sats into this system because no nocoiners are ever going to instruct their agents to go find some money and do things with it. So they won't.

I haven't posted on here in a while because I get all my news over on the ex-bird site. However, now that Elon's being really pushy about monetizing me, making it nearly impossible for anyone to see my free-member tweets, I'm finally at the point where I feel that more people will see them on Nostr than they do over there.
Bullish on Nostr's future once again.
