The more influential someone's opinion becomes, the greater the temptation for others to stop applying "don't trust, verify" to that opinion.

Genuinely feel for everyone affected by the COLDCARD seed issue. The biggest lesson isn't about COLDCARD. It's that reputation is never a substitute for verification. In Bitcoin, every assumption deserves to be questioned, especially the ones we stop thinking about.

I love Bitcoin, because Bitcoin cannot love me back.

Bitcoiners! I've been off grid...just stopping by to drop you a sneak preview and 'early' draft of one of the sections of the book I'm trying to write. (Might have errors - Early draft) This is Part 2 Section 1: Money and Invisible Pressure. #money #bitcoin #gold #book

Bitcoin doesn't validate ego

Bitcoin solves a problem bigger than fiat. Fiat just made us solve it sooner.

Thought I'd give everyone a break 😆

Following your heart without self restraint is how people justify anything.

What is greatness?

Freedom isn't universal

Bitcoin doesn't recognise your timezone.

Yep, and it remains 1 sat = 1 sat

Agreed. Knowning would remove neutrality.

Bitcoin doesn't care about fixing the world.

Ego makes Bitcoin impossible to understand fully.

Does it matter who Satoshi Nakamoto is, or was?

The mirror is hard to face. But face it we must.

Appreciate you sharing your journey, and what you've overcome, I relate to it, and agree that Bitcoin is transformative.
