She's dealing with a lot (arthritis, sundown syndrome, probably hallucinations) and doesnt really have time or patience for anyone's bullshit. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost https://npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5.blossom.band/ccb587b77df573d5049f0a881c7dab7cd40044445c4c267ea2304a17cc22445b.jpg npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost I'm just gonna jump in here at the deepest part of the thread to say that all I was doing was referencing ancient internet humor to kvetch about my bitey, senile chihuahua. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost YOU'RE WEIRD npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost The only person who embedded themselves just as hard into a niche internet culture is @nprofile…2szn. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Facts: npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Bitcoin is bigger than your fears of what will happen to it. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost No. We have enough UX to get people up and running. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Conclusion: How bitcoiners think and manage their money is actually the opposite of what normal people want to do. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Okay, it's a stretch, however the Block Clock, for many people, is a price ticker. Maybe they just chose one of the rare Satoshi quotes in which he talked about the potential value of Bitcoin? npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Where am I wrong: npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Do you think normal people will ever self-custody this way? Bitcoin is a fun hobby for those of us who lead rich, internal, intellectual LARPs, but at some point, it's gonna escape the lab, get into regular people's hands, and it's totally out of our control what personal custody looks like at that point. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost I cannot wait for us to stop being scared and depressed and start getting mad. The fucking software is the only thing that matters, and we, along with the software, need to start getting hard. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost https://npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5.blossom.band/ac37ad72b829ab9b9d0ba190b94cc589633df2f973a33d3c2eb3f9e16b9fbf89.jpg npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Maxi smoothbrains will immediately go back to recommending all the other hardware wallet toys "they like" and also blindly trust. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost What's.

I want to make normal frens and show them how to be rich. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Linux needs more bikinis. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Its true npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost So out of fear npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost I'm down with the idea that the ColdCard was an exploding pager attack to financially mollify dangerous individuals. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost I don't run into a lot of normative American grown ups that absolutely must make a Bitcoin transaction at any given time. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost I am satisfied by none of these answers. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost What does self-custody have to do with that? I can enjoy those same benefits of Bitcoin with a trusted custodian. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Okay how about ypu finish this sentence with less than 5 words: npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Bitcoin "culture" doesnt exist. It's all just warmed over, screechy anarcho-libertarian failed talking points that shout over the grown-ups. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost That's crazy. Hey did you catch the game? npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost None of this is material or practical npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost So they'll save time by self-custodying? What about all the learning required to do it correctly? npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Sounds immaterial. More ideological. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost What is the material, practical gain? npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Can someone give me a single, practical, material benefit that a normative person enjoys by self-custodying their Bitcoin? npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost WANGMI npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Bitcoin "culture" isn't real. It can't hurt you, if you don't listen to its numbskull, footgun advice. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost The one shining ray of good news in all of this ColdCard darkness is that literally nobody fucking listens to the advice of hardcore Bitcoiners. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Soon we will be selling SeedSigner faraday accessories to each other to mitigate attacks based on shit NVK was making up just to grief his competition. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Did a podcast search for "ColdCard". Found a some seriosuly retarded, Bitcoin Ideology podcasts. A lot of cope. A lot of invocations of the word "community". Talking about Bitcoin like a "fight" or a "revolution" -- generally an extension of the host's personal anarcho-LARPatarian radicalization. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost There is so much that has to be undone. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost This was a guy who had voting power and consistently did everything he could to squash the mere possibility of competition. I want to see those votes. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Its just that grating, emotionally-disconnected personality type that's got like 5 secret axes to grind with people who didn't hire them or didn't like their project blah blah blah. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Yeah that's the problem. They're all fucking autistic libertarians who have some sort of blindness to sociopathy, narcissism, etc... npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost This bear market can choke on dick cheese. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost It's something. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost No, I don't want to do a presentation on self-custody right now. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost MOM REMBER THAT TIME YOU CAUGHT ME IN THE BASEMENT ROLLING DICE IN MY CUB SCOUT TENT AND YOU ASKED ME IF I WAS TOUCHING MYSELF AND I WAS ALL LIKE MOOOOOOM WELL GUESS WHO ISNT COMPLETELY REKT TODAY npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost https://npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5.blossom.band/ade9423487b42081366c41cf46aec8b6ff7b6544eded98a1e10d960d078d6f4e.jpg npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost @nprofile…6z2t npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost And away from bitcoiners to whom ypu recommended the ColdCard. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Shooting them is good for your mental health. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Funny that SeedSigner got BBQR support right before CoinKite goes tits up reputationally. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Maximalism and its tendency to create affinity with total cunts and their broken caalculators was a mistake. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Engineering and QA efforts aren't spread thin across hundreds of poopcoins. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Probably just some post-Soviet bloc punk with Fable 5. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost I don't know.

And then you immediately go to a block explorer website to see what the status of the transaction is, so you know nothing went wrong -- nothing ever does go wrong, if you set up the transaction correctly but your monkey brain stresses out regardless. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost I'm just saying the drama is at 11 today. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost This day just keeps delivering the goods. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Watch one little calculator fuck 1200 bitcoiners at once. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Single seed generated offline from good entropy (like dice rolls) is still a viable defense against offline signing device vulneraabilities. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost CRRRIIIINNNNNGE 😬 npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Conflating ColdCard failure as some sort of BIP-110 correctness signal is cringe and desperate. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Not gonna lie, looking forward to the going-out-of-business sale on Block Clocks. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Watch carefully for influencers that carry water for NVK.

Sounds gay npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Has anyone else noticed that Bitcoin tends to tolerate people who act like jerks, even to our own detriment? This is not unique to Bitcoin -- highly ideological spaces tend to have massive blind spots when it comes to dangerous personalities. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Bro I have a hardware wallet for every week of the year.

I mean other than the fact that you're now poor. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Is the older @nprofile…t77k Passport affected by the ColdCard MK3 entropy issue? Doesnt matter that they share an SE, but it does matter that they share code. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost I just bought ice cream at a Square terminal using the Cashu wallet I vibed. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost My ColdCard just stores my keys.
