 GM; self custody your bitcoin, if not enough people do it, it goes to zero. 
 The problem that saylor & maddireidy missed here is not 6102, he is correct on that. The issue is large holder choosing which fork to follow. Say Coinbase held 25% of the supply & decided to follow 20Gb/block fork, that would pose a huge problem. Could make MSTR go to zero in a way the tradfi shorter or Gov capture never could. 😬

 Only economic nodes mater, node count is its Sybil silly think. 
 It's just a simplistic example. 
 Definitely selling you a ECC calculator 
 If 25% of the supply was willing to dumb on the other fork would absolutely mater.

Aside from this being a simplistic example with ooma numbers. 
 Depends. But very possible. 
 Takes a few cycles for people to understand bitcoin, it's not a simple system. And the rough is rough consensus is very rough 😅 
 Are they going to fund an alternative to asking me about cookie preferences? 

World peace if they fix it. 
 Maybe next bull run we buy out the NIST Radio Station WWVB and broadcast Bitcoin Block height.

Imagine a wrist watch that could give you block time? 🤌🤌

 Height not header 
 It's for the lulz

 Coldcard was a hardware design manifesto, it's not just product.

So that makes us a little passionate about that way of seeing things.

 If you new to this part of the cycle.

Don't trade. 

You are not smarter than the market. Keep your bitcoin in your Coldcard and go for a walk. Come back, review your security. 

Now use that excitement energy to build something, create value, spend time with family. Bitcoin is a very long term idea. 

Stay safe and have fun 🤙

 Friend: Wait, your telling me you brought your own secure travel router but you forgot your tooth... 
 Nothing wrong here 
 The problem is self custodial LN, it is a pain and expensive. Non-custodial LN is amazing.

 Professional "Influencers" will always game the algos, that's what they do for a living.

 Does Coldcard support testnet4?

 Nothing beats a single piece of flat seed plate. I really dislike the multiple piece solutions, asking to lose a piece. 
 We definitely need more expectation, but with single piece... 
 Can't drill, there is the other 12 words on the other side

 You guys seem to be having too much fun. Thank you for your service. 
 All 11 of them. I had 2 threads lingering for days, was driving me nuts 
 100% this. Take away their screens. Give them a stick to poke poop.

 Yes. Same. 
 My second one refuses to use the toilet. 🤪 
 Red screen, screen breaks, work outside 
 During the day outside probably doesn't need the red mode 
 Americans don't understand how expensive their cheap crap will become with these tariffs. 

Onshoring manufacturing is not impossible, but will take a minimum of 20-30 yrs with a ton of investment and will never be as productive as china.

 You don't understand how much for a lot less quality. Chinese factories are better at most things. 
 Nah, I think BRIC knows well US can't do it, the prices would cause a revolt 
 i’m old enough to remember when people would shut up about shit they didn’t know.

 The future is already here, just doesn't have a good UX yet. 
 How would you change it? 
 The spooks got in the way 
 Story goes they prevented all mainstream clients from having it natively 
 Patreon platform is horrible, bad UX, messy, etc...

Who's building pay walled creator community alternatives on Nostr? 
 Do it 
 Part of the "problem" is that Information wants to be free. Paywall is not the best form of monetizing. 
 Who are the artists here on Nostr?

Need more soul on my feed. 
 Always. The house must always have some flowers :)
