Something worth learning about if you haven’t already. Take the leap.
Just a heads up that I opened my shop up in the second half of last week. Current lead time for orders is ~5 days but is thankfully trending back to the usual 1-2. I immensely appreciate everyone who has supported my work on the @SeedSigner project. 🧡

Definitely on the 'left' of this argument :) @natbrunell with more great comms, simple enough for everyone to hear. Get this video in front of anyone you care about that doesn't understand broken money and the bitcoin fix.
Everywhere the apex predator roams with its orange glow, some run for the hills, some check their head is still firmly in the ground, some see freedom. After 40 years as a Christian I've realised some people miss value. @Eggplant_Elon Bitcoin maybe, sadly, caught not taught.
Absolutely seething! Spent most of this afternoon in the queue at my local branch of HSBC trying to open a Bitcoin account, only to be told they don't exist.
At this point, I produced a clip of the Chancellor of the Exchequer saying they do, and the cashier looked at me the way you'd look at a man producing a clip of the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Asked for the manager and made the mistake of saying the word Bitcoin a 2nd time, at which point my debit card was frozen for my own protection, and I was walked into a side room by a man from Compliance who wanted to know if anyone was coercing me, whether I'd met the seller in person, and if I understood that criminals mainly use this sort of thing.
I said the Chancellor of the Exchequer has an account. He wrote that down and asked for a description.
Not all a waste, though, as I left the branch with a leaflet on Premium Bonds and an HSBC Flexible Saver paying 1.35%, which the manager described as competitive without saying who with.
Officially, inflation's at 3 and a bit, so I'm now guaranteed to lose money slowly, with FSCS protection, in an account that definitely exists.
He said it's the responsible option.
Which is roughly the national position.
Other countries are building reserves of it whilst Britain seized 61,000 coins, panicked, and is now trying to flog them to fund £2 quid bus fares.
The Chancellor thinks it lives in a savings account.
The bank thinks it lives in a police station.
And somewhere in Liverpool, a room full of people applauded a man for not knowing what money is, which, to be fair, is the only thing he's been consistent on.

....because using bitcoin is a thing!

🚨UPGRADE YOUR BTC PAY SERVER
1. Server settings > maintenance > update
2. Wait 60 seconds > refresh
3. Verify v2.4.2 in the bottom right hand corner and string at github.com/btcpayserver/btcp…
Should look like this
We should all ask Grok the same question - or at least 99 times, then I think we get the right entropy. Or better still, let’s just ask Blackrock to ask Grok, then we can definitely rely on it.
These guys know @bitcoinwell
Gary Cardone looked at self-custody, saw a little friction, and said "GTFO, not scalable."
That reflex is the entire reason Bitcoin had to exist.
You see, the dice rolls aren't the point. They're a UX problem, and UX problems get solved. What doesn't get solved on its own is the mindset underneath the comment: the belief that doing the work yourself is beneath you, that "serious money" hands its keys to a suit and calls it control.
It isn't control. The money an institution holds for you is the money that gets frozen, loaned out behind your back, and seized. Ask anyone whose account froze in 2022. Ask the Americans who lived through Executive Order 6102.
The friction is temporary. The subservience is permanent, right up until the day you decide to hold your own keys.
Serious money isn't the money a custodian guards. It's the money nobody can take.
Not your keys, not your coins. Not your entropy, not your keys.

Great post. Digital scarcity was a work in progress for decades and involved several failed attempts at creating digital gold. Satoshi cracked the case.
Ignore the headline, watch the video, especially halfway through that's when Huang gets interesting - thoughts like 'too big', 'too heavy', 'too long'... 'gone'. Just gone, AI makes it about ideas, architecture, the era of everything's possible is on the horizon. As they say in cheesy posts - Act Accordingly.
