Looking at my American millennial peers, many of whom are starting to hit middle age, I must conclude that the single highest value action you can take as a parent is to prevent your child from either getting a liberal arts degree or attending a liberal arts college. Not all, but the vast majority I observe are unhappy, lonely, and disappointed in their lives. Truly shocking and sad how four years of indoctrination, debt, and lack of applicable skills when you’re young can ruin your entire life with such consistency.

Glad square/block is pushing. But bitcoin option needs to be surfaced in the UI in every hardware checkout option. It’s still not in the kiosk at all and I and a merchant found it very confusing. Why not just put on the credit card screen? https://fountain.fm/episode/zeR2xGRjm0d89pV99hyC

Comparing Nostr to a wet towel versus Zyn was fucking hilarious. Also fuck the EU! https://fountain.fm/episode/GysGPTMR0B5NsWTVZa3Q

Quantum resistance was discussed during taproot development. This is eternal September. Using address formats and cryptography available, changing it would only help potentially defend against a long range attack and NOT a short range attack. Not taking a side either way, just important to set the record straight on the conversation and thought process at the time, right or wrong. If you disagree that’s fine. But to say it wasn’t considered is factually inaccurate and can be verified from posts and emails during Taproot. https://fountain.fm/episode/yApxrkQN4wCaxRc5xiqM

I disagree with Paul a lot but have loved and agree with his feelings on education. School benefited me a lot because I had parents who pushed me towards practical education with good income potential and not liberal arts bullshit. Now most school has little or no real world application and YouTube, AI, Duolingo, Synthesis, etc will teach you better, cheaper, and faster. College is mostly a scam to convey social status, not practical knowledge. https://fountain.fm/episode/G1bGjTehpMw1eWDv8Ibi

Again, my stance is that there is not a need to be worried. You can just stay in Segwit if you’re worried. I think you’re grossly misinterpreting my position.

I haven’t even seen a concept of a proposal let alone an actual proposal or BIP that would cause a hard fork or chain split, just additional cryptography options. Please give an example.

Great to chat with Paul. Wrong about lightning and drivechains are silly, but fun guy. https://fountain.fm/episode/G1bGjTehpMw1eWDv8Ibi

Watching Caleb Hammer Financial Audit and seeing the mainstream social reaction is fascinating. Many freak out at him for revealing truths that invalidate their fantasy world views: 1) many people are and will remain poor because they make poor decisions and lack adequate long term thinking and impulse control 2) inflation is rampant and pushing costs higher making many struggle 3) massive and ever growing government benefit fraud is an obvious and indisputable fact 4) there is always hope to improve if you work hard

But again if that’s the case, why be concerned? An optional new quantum format if it went through and you don’t like just don’t use it…

I really don’t get the quantum FUD. Even if you set aside the fact that it’s a venture capital scam: If you are worried, buy and hold in a Segwit address and wait until the fork to fix it. https://fountain.fm/episode/GAa4m3IWUWVeR1CW5eyP

Me to wife and kids: do you want this dumb knickknack or can I throw it away? Wife and kids 100% of the time: NO WE NEED THAT IF YOU THROW AWAY WE WILL FREAK OUT. Me: waits a week or two to see if anyone uses it or remembers and if not throws it away. Has worked without anyone noticing at least 100+ times over the years. Get so much dumb junk for birthdays and holidays when you have kids.

I still maintain is the most underrated Bitcoin wallet for serious long term cold storage.

GM! I guess I missed the memo that Bitcoin had changed from decentralized permissionless money to please beg a central committee to not have your coins confiscated LMFAO

🤣🤣🤣

I am the book. I no longer need the book.

An awful lot to repair
