Today's side quest: Great Speculations (greatspectations.com). Useful tool for checking source code quotes against a document: I used this in CLN and it improved compliance *and* the spec itself, as well as making it easy to follow spec changes. This is the polished and published version which handles RFCs, BIPS, and any other markdown or other docs.

What a horrible day. I am haunted by the fear that a normal Bitcoin use can do everything right, only to lose everything because you didn't hand-roll your entropy, or upgraded your firmware because "Ledger" sent you a warning email. 😢

Wow! Congratulations, both of you! ❤️

That's great! I hope some of them work out. I imagine there are numerous companies who decided to keep treasury in Bitcoin and are now seeking both capital, and frankly, reassurance? If so, your timing here is excellent* *Unless it's not. We will know in three years.

The problem with this is that well-run, boring, positive cash flow companies are really hard to find. All the obvious ones were snarfed up by previous variants of this play. It *sounds* great, until you get to the messy reality that the firms you want don't need you. So you have to find and pitch them. And why would they say yes? Because they're looking for an exit, which is the opposite of what you said you wanted. This is not to say it's impossible, but there's a reasonable case that it's going to be far harder than VCs think, who are used to people approaching them.

Because it was a fake letter sent to their home address based on the ledger leak and in fact was instructing them to install malware that stole all their coins :(

Wild huh? Let's be friends.

Apparently the idea that we should be our best online, not our worst, is radically outside the mainstream?
