Felt bad.
Went anyway to do the "job".
A local economic newspaper had their yearly finance summit and I had the chance to defend bitcoin in a debate about Eth or BTC and lots of other related topics.
Loved it.
Would have been even better with some close people there.
In any case, went out of the comfort zone for bitcoin and thanks to bitcoin.
#ProofOfWork is alsof getting up at 6am on a Saturday to get things done. Some call themselves 'bitfluencers' and beg for money to do some 'work' on X (and promoting their own friend or gf).
Others just do the work and defend bitcoin.
Feeling bad. Personal stuff.
But tomorrow, I'll nonetheless do the proof-of-work for the community, taking a day out of my personal / family time to represent the views of Bitcoiners in Belgium.
Think about that.
We need more people.
I'm tired. And I don't need to do this.
I want to though.
Wedstrijdje voor de Belgische en Nederlands bitcoiners.
Voor de Belgische (en Nederlandse) luisteraars:
- 1 inzending per account
- Enkel op Nostr
- journalisten mogen zelf niet meedoen
- schrijf de krantenkop weer tussen " "
- Vlaamse kranten enkel!
- voorspel de krant + de titel
- voorbeeld:
[ De Morgen "bitcoin 100k hoera!" ] :)
Wie de beste bitcoin naar 100.000€ krantenkop weet te voorspellen wint een prijs (in sats) - en ik zeg alvast dat het meer gaat zijn dan 40.000 sats.
You know, there are these people that you never heard of during the bear market(s) , and all of a sudden, they put on a '21' or 'relai' hat and appear, paying the " OG 's " card.
Some of these even call themselves 'bitfluencers' now. Asking for money.
(I said some, not all;)
unpopular opinion:
Some bitcoiner "groups" shilling their referral links to any trading platform for a kick-back (as a multi-level marketing thing mixed with misuse of social trust), are usually just former shitcoiners trying to make a buck, or one step removed from being a complete shitcoiner / sell-out hippie.
Be nice to your fiat friends today.
They're in misery.
They're in need of hope.
Not opportunism.
Not saviors from the gutter.
They're more capable now, to understand and hear your voice.
Dont' sell garbage and merchandise to them, nor to each other.
Because this is a data war.
You'll be surprised who's in the trenches with you.
Amaze Save Refresh
Be a Lady not a Ragdoll.
Be a Gentleman, not a hippie.
Be a soldier not a coward.

Vandaag begint het 16e jaar sinds Satoshi de white paper uitbracht op 31 oktober 2008. Zestien jaar van decentralisatie, niet-confisqueerbaaarheid en financiële soevereiniteit—en we staan nog maar aan het begin! Op naar het volgende hoofdstuk. #Bitcoin16 #WhitePaperDay

Since Self-custody is "for paranoid" people:
this is a seedphrase service; created by a child, by hand, never was online, no hardware, no Mickey Mouse entropy chips and no toy-like hardware wallets involved: just dice, a pencil, some time and a calculator tool (offline!!!).
Use with pass-phrase on top of this and you're going.
https://allesvoorbitcoin.be/seedgen/index-eng.html
This is going to be the way from now on for many people.
The seeds are all out of stock, new will be made coming days.

"All you need is some dice, some time, and a pencil"
We're in a war. You can either ignore it and hide like a bitch, ... or fight for future generations to have hard, sound money. Most people in Bitcoin aren't even aware they're in a trench war. They're looking at their helmets and asking:
'Can I get this in orange?' while hugging a stuffed cartoon character they bought at a conference.
Our fight is against parasitic systems and the proof-of-stake laziness they've inherited from the 17th century to today.
Thede parasites won't give up just because we have 77,000 lines of code floating around and have a thoughtful sticker on a pole.
They'll let their order-follower fiat goons knock on your door, steal, murder, and corrupt anyone and anything.
Fight them for real.
Zodadelijk om 14u21 komt "Episode 141" uit. Over "The distributional consequenses of Bitcoin" . We geven wat commentaar en vertalingen voor de mensen die het paper nog niet hebben kunne lezen.

If the purchasing power of Euro currency goes down for good, then the existence of Euros impoverishes both early birds, latecomers and holders of eurocoins.
Bitcoiners' anwer to the #ECB
#Value4Value
+19 hours of work in total.
I got 1000 sats.
Thank you for whoever donated and found it worth something.
Doing a series on this subject soon.
De #ECB staalt de bal al 15 r mis inzake bitcoin.
Hun laatste Sovjet-achtig klinkende working paper over de distributie van bitcoin, is daar geen uitzondering op.
Zeer jammer om te lezen dat men zo verschrikkelijk ver achter blijft staan od realiteit.

I trashed all my hardware wallets.
Supply chains are f'd. Secure elements are mostly owned by BlackRock related owned firms
Even if it's all ok,... We're in a war, can't afford to use weapons made in enemy factories and enemy suppliers, with software made by 40% sellouts.
I don't suggest.
Just a reminder to route around problems.
I predict one or more manufactured HW wallets to have compromised secure elements within 1 year from now.
The fallout if that can be anything from bed entropie seeds to downright stealing funds or whatever.
Complex and long answer.
In short: division of internet influence areas, combined with price anticipation triggered opportunity for supply chain stuff. Some companies rely on chip manufacturing that changed hands last tO years. Also, in general, too many brands in the market, and hardly anyone earns their keep.
They would stuff a HW wallet in your hands for free if they could be so obvious... Watch
Curious about this one. On AVBpodcast we had the same discussion last week with BitSaga, I think personally that multisig is not only too hard, it's broken on many levels in usability.
New seedgens will be needed soon. all created by hand, calculated and offline in a secure environment... For people wanting a no-hardware solution.

It's a amazingly bad, how much the b-cash spam attack had in 2017-18 , today someone told me 'oh no, you can't send bitcoin to me, it's so expensive to send, I don't touch that stuff ever again'
Turns out he was like 'into bitcoin' around the time it was 100 or more € to send a tx in the next few blocks.
It's like years ago and people still think the mempook is unusable.
We could have been 5 years further ahead in technology, wasn't it for Ajay Bhatt and all the total time lost on plugging in USB connectors the wrong way.
Setting something up, probably will be end of October after the Plan -B in Lugano.
In the meanwhile, do your homework:
- research Honduras , Prospera
- research El Salvador (but for real, not like, yeah I saw a video about it from a bitcoin tourist)
#GBGO
Do your homework, contacts are being made and we'll build something.
Stay tuned. (If people really want to do proof of work for this project.. feel free to start working and coordinating)
Bitcoiners
What if .. there is a cycle, of cycles.
A #supercycle where every 4 halvings (or whatever the interval will be) there is a mega altcoin shake-out and inflow of nations, institutions. And eventually every citizen during the next
What if we're the verge of this?
Losing a friend, losing a family member, it's hard, and the pain is slightly softened by seeing all the bitcoiners back, talking and just knowing what you have as common ground.
I thoughougly enjoyed speaking at the #FutureOfBitcoin conference in Antwerp #Belgium and may we say it was the first ever real main conference for bitcoin without active shitcoinery on stage. (There were a lot of shitcoiners don't het me wrong) But we had a bitcoin conferences in the 'bitcoin North-Korea of Europe' finally after 15 years.
And that counts for something as a milestone.
Thanks to all frens who attended my presentation at that early hours :) really warms my hart. https://image.nostr.build/611bbcb4cbb5ee3afd23aa91cbceb9700711a63a406f5d848c6b34ada6187a4b.jpg

Normally, I can write a clear test case and a small "to reproduce" guide, proving multisig implementation is actually broken.
Still on a call with some software team, but it's already clear it's not working out.
more soon
#multisig
Klein voorproefje van distributie dat zich zal hertekenen. Minder kleine zaken, of kleine zaken die via groothandel gaan of aan een beter georganiseerde delivery hangen (coca-cola bv).
Volgende stappen zullen robotisering zijn. Het Reebok probleem blijft onopgelost d politiek.

Voor 280 miljoen tegoeden moet Bitvavo dus hebben (lenen ?) om de tegoeden vd klanten goed te maken.
Dat geld kan enkel komen van bij nieuwe klanten die extra gaan "gokken" op hun platform uiteraard.
Dit soort cryptocasino's hebben dan ook handen vol geld over om podcasts, conferenties en meetups te sponsoren, om zoveel mogelijk nocoiners in hun web te strikken.

Ik zou nog liever met m'n podcast stoppen, dan te moeten bedelen bij leverage trading exchanges en andere casino troep, om werkingsmiddelen of sponsorships.
Serieus.
Je hebt dat extra geld echt niet nodig imho. (een micro kost niet echt zo veel, en de rest vd middelen vallen nog best mee, een camera, een paar abonnementen)...
Ongeveer iedereen die ik nu zie adverteren heeft een zak(je) fiatgeld gekregen van een exchange om mensen er in te luizen met reflinks en andere trash.
Mensen voeden hun eigen luisteraars en kijkers blijkbaar graag in het fricassée-machien van de traders.
da's diep triest imho.
Maar het is intussen deel van deze community. En het wordt nog gewoon aanvaardt ook.
Het zij zo. We gaan aan andere zaken voort bouwen intussen.
