 Politics are insufferable.

Just purchase your political influence then move on, let the clowns do their thing in the circus. 

You don't have to live in the circus.

 hows that going? 
 We don't have enough bitcoin content here. 
 Working on a new version of it, different direction

 Being here is SO weird. 🇦🇷

I didn’t expect it to feel so strange. 
 Going to childhood places after many years is always super strange. 
 What's your most carried multitool?

And what do you hate about it? 
 Those baby knipex are great! 
 Better yet, duress decoy. If you use this PIN shows alternative user profile.

 All devices must provide Brick Me PINs.

There is no other way...

 You can do this plausibly, could just reset as new out of the box.

 The public square and the content posting must live in open protocols.

If YouTube content was available to external discoverability this wouldn't be an issue. 

People need choice, Nostr fixes this.

 The biggest issue with tech startups founders is that they don't understand business.

"Raising" is not business. 
 The world is changing fast. Everywhere.

 Good morning fellow paranoid anarchists using non-institutional hardware wallets. 

Bitcoin is fuck you money.🖕

 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

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

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