I'm also old school, but I think I am going to appreciate the challenges. They have implemented it nicely. The call has to be made within 2 seconds by the batter, catcher, or pitcher (?). The AI/video system immediately gives the call. With only two challenges per game and no assistance from the dugout or other players it could be a positive change. I also like the increased speed of the game given the pitch clock.

Republicans control the House, the Senate, the Executive Branch, and arguably the Supreme Court….
But somehow, the partial government shutdown is the democrats fault?
63% of Americans, ~50% of democrats want the SAVE act passed, the republicans can’t get it done.
The bank lobby has destroyed any chance of meaningful bitcoin legislation while our developers are being imprisoned.
We are involved in another War.
Those are just a few examples.
Our government has failed the people on ALL levels.
The democrats want MORE government. Why would we want more of this absolute incompetence?
There is plenty of blame to go around, but at some point, the good people in our country must stand up and fight for the future.
Our children need us. I’m sure we could put many of our differences aside and find a way forward.

Hold the line. Stay strong. I know this feels bad. It hurts.

bitcoin in self custody along with Bitcoin node = freedom.
freedom is worth more than 90k per coin.

2026-01-28 11:42:44 UTC

Thank you for not buying. I had to move money from my old 401k into unchained so I could secure real bitcoin within a pre tax retirement plan. The process took 3 weeks.
I have completed the roll over and have the bitcoin in self custody. You can resume buying, or selling, but I’m happy the price stayed sub 90k while the money was in transit.

2026-01-24 12:36:56 UTC

The ETFs and banks are good for bitcoin. A means of distribution; a 3rd scaling layer.
However, we must never forget WHY bitcoin has any value to begin with. How was Bitcoin able to go from zero to a 2 trillion dollar asset class? What features ultimately forced the banks and traditional finance into submission? From a talk forum to Main Street.
The psychopaths writing code, running nodes, contributing to rough consensus, promoting self custody, educating, home mining, creating circular economies…
These are the protectors of Bitcoin. If we ever lose them, the ETFs won’t matter because Bitcoin will wither away.

HODLing, buying more, continuing to champion self custody and node running, helping to promote mining decentralization….

Unchained allows you to transfer the funds into an IRA, purchase bitcoin, and transfer to self custody. The funds are technically still within the IRA, unless you send out of the multisig.

2026-01-21 16:10:07 UTC

The traditional financial system is no comparison to using bitcoin.
I am rolling over my 401k to
@unchained
1) Sell MSTR in the self directed brokerage
2) Wait two days for trade to clear
3) Send funds from SDB to main 401k account
4) Wait two days for this to clear
5) Request a check which must be mailed to me
personally, then to unchained (Fortis)
6) Wait 4 days for check to process
7) Finally, buy bitcoin and the pain will be over
I will be much happier when the funds are secured with unchained 2/3 MS

For those two businesses, for transparency to the partners, the bitcoin are held within those two addresses.
At some point, I will likely break the UTXOs and move to different addresses.
For now, I want it to be public. I want people to understand businesses can easily self custody.
Publishing the above puts myself at risk of a wrench attack and chain surveillance. A risk I was willing to take.

If the main protocol is neglected or developed in a way that destroys censorship resistant, permissionless, decentralized money…none of the things built on top matter.

2026-01-18 12:06:35 UTC

Banks and nation states were forced to adopt bitcoin.
As bitcoin grows and becomes financialized the remnant must continue to protect the protocol.
Nation states and banks may never grok the features that set Bitcoin apart. But, if the remnant doesn’t protect bitcoin, the project will die.
Protect bitcoin, regardless of price.

Thanks ocean. Thanks for building. For now, it’s just an “optics” problem. But fixing the issue now would be ideal. Fighting off a 60-70% attack in real time is not a road I want to go down.

Between foundry, ant pool, and those hashing on behalf of ant pool, lets assume they control 60-70% of the hash rate; they could exclude valid blocks from other miners and simply build on their last block in perpetuity.
The nodes would recognize the longest chain as the longest chain with the most work and the nodes would accept that chain as valid.
We assume the network would respond by moving hash, but it hasn't done so yet.
In short, I am not trying to make a technical argument. I'm simply identifying an issue that bothers me and hoping node runners and bitcoiners like yourself help to protect bitcoin.
