By making a claim on "dormant" bitcoin in the New York, the claimant, a Wyoming LLC, sets up two scenarios: 1. If Quantum "breaks" a wallet previously awarded, the Wyoming LLC will use their legal title to sue for possession/compensation (or be paid to go away). 2. Ahead of Quantum being a real threat, the Wyoming LLC can sell itself with the legal title to the bitcoin addresses as part of its book value. https://fountain.fm/episode/GExSnLwGWa6l2SFrXB1q #nevent1q…fup4 npub1kp2cktgg2qg2va2u5shhq7l4e3fk6qq98dyxzxwkl6vu83xtz83smx9n8c Lee That dude's a legend npub1kp2cktgg2qg2va2u5shhq7l4e3fk6qq98dyxzxwkl6vu83xtz83smx9n8c Lee Still npub1kp2cktgg2qg2va2u5shhq7l4e3fk6qq98dyxzxwkl6vu83xtz83smx9n8c Lee I recognize and respect the position they take re: "just call them as you see them" vis-a-vis bip110 and possible/likely outcomes. There's something to be said for actually taking a stand though... Regardless whether you predict one outcome or another it's important to not sit on the fence. npub1kp2cktgg2qg2va2u5shhq7l4e3fk6qq98dyxzxwkl6vu83xtz83smx9n8c Lee Ahem https://blossom.primal.net/090cd325cf430cfb43f068a242dc9e83077dd115e339124f6d80c5f82e4dd7f3.jpg npub1kp2cktgg2qg2va2u5shhq7l4e3fk6qq98dyxzxwkl6vu83xtz83smx9n8c Lee @Calle is it possible for someone to get an anonymous claw.ai account? npub1kp2cktgg2qg2va2u5shhq7l4e3fk6qq98dyxzxwkl6vu83xtz83smx9n8c Lee How did the test go? npub1kp2cktgg2qg2va2u5shhq7l4e3fk6qq98dyxzxwkl6vu83xtz83smx9n8c Lee Regarding your hackathon and bitcoin test payments over lightning for agents and the like, I think I have to re-run a pen test on my systems (emails chats and phone calls with my team) and maybe switch to Maple.ai, too, lol.

Several big events then... Taxes being paid (returns to the plebs), Warsh confirmation hearings and maybe Fed pump, election campaigns in full swing, maybe Alito being replaced, maybe market clarity being passed... So much. So much. Keep up the fire, brother. https://fountain.fm/episode/SrnH7P2j6W6Nf04kFnFb #nevent1q…ju5y npub1kp2cktgg2qg2va2u5shhq7l4e3fk6qq98dyxzxwkl6vu83xtz83smx9n8c Lee Appreciate you.

I have the benefit of a front row seat for this play & the rest of the banker audience have no idea what's coming. That light ahead in the stablecoin tumnel is not the other end opening on an electronic Fiat utopia. It's the bitcoin train coming straight at them....

I think like this. I am a parent. But taking your point as a potential indicator of a significant archetype hodler, and thinking optimistically, maybe future bequests to non-family beneficiaries will be championed by childless hodlers. Can you imagine prominent buildings in future civilizations like "Laeserin Free Library" or "Laeserin Center for Nutritional Research" for instance? npub1kp2cktgg2qg2va2u5shhq7l4e3fk6qq98dyxzxwkl6vu83xtz83smx9n8c Lee This! npub1kp2cktgg2qg2va2u5shhq7l4e3fk6qq98dyxzxwkl6vu83xtz83smx9n8c Lee Any time I see a zap between10 and 20 sats I think, "Well, there's a nice fat future Delmonico, medium-rare with a slight toasting of the fatty bits, sprinkled with sea salt, resting on a cutting board... juices still flowing... for my great grandson/daughter in like 50 years." Because that's where we are, imho. The ability to visualize likely results of extreme low time preference and hard money pushes one towards mental and emotional castle-building to the benefit of future generations. (Pardon me just a moment while I commission a portrait of self to be displayed in the gallery of my family's future palatial estate.) npub1kp2cktgg2qg2va2u5shhq7l4e3fk6qq98dyxzxwkl6vu83xtz83smx9n8c Lee This gets me thinking about creation of "easy" financial products that emulate the familiar, targeted toward people who can't be bothered to learn about bitcoin. Yes. I know. There are examples now in companies like Fold and self-custody or multi-sig IRA... these are primarily opt-in vehicles for those who have studied a bit. I'm just wondering out loud whether there's something to be done *within financial institutions* to "supercharge" legacy financial products by adding a dash of bitcoin to the mix. What about paying interest on accounts in bitcoin? A typical retail/consumer savings account might earn 2% or less and a typical interest-checking account might earn 0.25%. Perhaps if the offer was "interest paid in bitcoin to your institutional account (custody)" or, for those who bother to learn self-custody, "interest paid in bitcoin to your KYC'd self-custody wallet of choice?" Incentives seem to align here. Thoughts? npub1kp2cktgg2qg2va2u5shhq7l4e3fk6qq98dyxzxwkl6vu83xtz83smx9n8c Lee disturbing npub1kp2cktgg2qg2va2u5shhq7l4e3fk6qq98dyxzxwkl6vu83xtz83smx9n8c Lee Yegor, did you ever use Google and Android apps previously? I'm also curious about the graphene experience but concerned I might miss out on some of what have become (at least to me) essential apps. npub1kp2cktgg2qg2va2u5shhq7l4e3fk6qq98dyxzxwkl6vu83xtz83smx9n8c Lee Interested to hear thoughts in this direction, too. npub1kp2cktgg2qg2va2u5shhq7l4e3fk6qq98dyxzxwkl6vu83xtz83smx9n8c Lee Isn't there a legal principle that financial privacy (or any privacy) is an inviolable human right, exceptions only when there's probable cause articulated in a warrant or involvement of a third-party with access to the "private" knowledge? npub1kp2cktgg2qg2va2u5shhq7l4e3fk6qq98dyxzxwkl6vu83xtz83smx9n8c Lee Hodl golf: Walk rather than cart ($11/nine) - ✅ Twenty + year old clubs - ✅ Stitches in ripped bag - ✅ DCA happened on ~4th tee box - ✅ Simple pleasures - ✅ (gifted head covers) https://m.primal.net/HzVC.jpg npub1kp2cktgg2qg2va2u5shhq7l4e3fk6qq98dyxzxwkl6vu83xtz83smx9n8c Lee Neither a big risk nor courageous on their part, just by the numbers and the structure. The real front-page news will be when a financial advisor of similar stature takes self-custody of bitcoin and makes their announcement. npub1kp2cktgg2qg2va2u5shhq7l4e3fk6qq98dyxzxwkl6vu83xtz83smx9n8c Lee What with Primal? Did all their relays die or something? npub1kp2cktgg2qg2va2u5shhq7l4e3fk6qq98dyxzxwkl6vu83xtz83smx9n8c Lee Awful Just awful Worse that it took fully 6 seconds for me to get there npub1kp2cktgg2qg2va2u5shhq7l4e3fk6qq98dyxzxwkl6vu83xtz83smx9n8c Lee Wondering whether this will be discussed in the board rooms of financial institutions still struggling to home-brew their own stablecoin. 🤔 npub1kp2cktgg2qg2va2u5shhq7l4e3fk6qq98dyxzxwkl6vu83xtz83smx9n8c Lee *Liana npub1kp2cktgg2qg2va2u5shhq7l4e3fk6qq98dyxzxwkl6vu83xtz83smx9n8c Lee Hey @hodlbod Listened to your interview on Bitcoin And... yesterday. Great stuff sir and gave me loads of homework to do. Questions: Is there utility in approaching nostr as a potential for "closed" communities? I recall you mentioning a scenario where you and a friend might share the same set of notes... but could that be scaled to maybe 50 friend and family identies with access, 500 tuition-paid students, or 5,000 employees, etc.? https://fountain.fm/episode/vxd7ojlUhTZTY3RG1Za4 npub1kp2cktgg2qg2va2u5shhq7l4e3fk6qq98dyxzxwkl6vu83xtz83smx9n8c Lee Excellent episode on Revault and Linera from @stephanlivera https://fountain.fm/episode/ubZGp5GY4wzNS8bAHOZJ npub1kp2cktgg2qg2va2u5shhq7l4e3fk6qq98dyxzxwkl6vu83xtz83smx9n8c Lee yes. ordered yesterday and looking forward to receipt Friday. npub1kp2cktgg2qg2va2u5shhq7l4e3fk6qq98dyxzxwkl6vu83xtz83smx9n8c Lee When available on Audible, too? I like to do both paper and audio... but audible is my prey over Kindle. npub1kp2cktgg2qg2va2u5shhq7l4e3fk6qq98dyxzxwkl6vu83xtz83smx9n8c Lee thanks I think 🤔 is that a gift for me? pretty cool, regardless npub1kp2cktgg2qg2va2u5shhq7l4e3fk6qq98dyxzxwkl6vu83xtz83smx9n8c Lee Similar to "dusting" with btc from a sanctioned address, in a way... Interested to see more answers to your hypothetical, Semisol. npub1kp2cktgg2qg2va2u5shhq7l4e3fk6qq98dyxzxwkl6vu83xtz83smx9n8c Lee Looking forward to this. npub1kp2cktgg2qg2va2u5shhq7l4e3fk6qq98dyxzxwkl6vu83xtz83smx9n8c Lee Happy birthday, Mr. Nakamoto, wherever you are! npub1kp2cktgg2qg2va2u5shhq7l4e3fk6qq98dyxzxwkl6vu83xtz83smx9n8c Lee thanks for sharing that. I was unaware of the charges being dropped in a separate jurisdiction. npub1kp2cktgg2qg2va2u5shhq7l4e3fk6qq98dyxzxwkl6vu83xtz83smx9n8c Lee will check it thanks npub1kp2cktgg2qg2va2u5shhq7l4e3fk6qq98dyxzxwkl6vu83xtz83smx9n8c Lee Need an audio warning on something like this in future. Maybe, "Warning! Do not play this audio more than once unless you want to throw up a little on your mouth." npub1kp2cktgg2qg2va2u5shhq7l4e3fk6qq98dyxzxwkl6vu83xtz83smx9n8c Lee I waiver between the long-form email with action items clearly marked, etc. andthe professional yet pithy equivalent of "let's discuss." What's your preference? npub1kp2cktgg2qg2va2u5shhq7l4e3fk6qq98dyxzxwkl6vu83xtz83smx9n8c Lee What you say makes sense. Do you also see the possibility that game theory will make 'zero KYC' options an attractive offering both for individual companies/merchants and for jurisdictions? All one needs to do is to break the seal and recruit first followers like Sampson Maow (sp). is trying to do. npub1kp2cktgg2qg2va2u5shhq7l4e3fk6qq98dyxzxwkl6vu83xtz83smx9n8c Lee Thank you npub1kp2cktgg2qg2va2u5shhq7l4e3fk6qq98dyxzxwkl6vu83xtz83smx9n8c Lee I'm sure they did, Marty. they almost certainly reported it, too. npub1kp2cktgg2qg2va2u5shhq7l4e3fk6qq98dyxzxwkl6vu83xtz83smx9n8c Lee checked into getalby today to get my own readable lighting address but saw they're invite-only now. any recommendations out there for another service or method? tyia npub1kp2cktgg2qg2va2u5shhq7l4e3fk6qq98dyxzxwkl6vu83xtz83smx9n8c Lee I used to walk them through downloading the Strike app. Now I just share my Swan Force link. npub1kp2cktgg2qg2va2u5shhq7l4e3fk6qq98dyxzxwkl6vu83xtz83smx9n8c Lee The grift will continue until there's nothing left but ashes (same for Cardano and Ethereum, too).
