đ§” âBoating Accidentsâ & Other Real Threats to Your Bitcoin Sovereignty 1. đ€ Whatâs a âBoating Accidentâ? In Bitcoin lore, a âboating accidentâ is a tongue-in-cheek way to say: âI lost my Bitcoin, donât ask me where.â But behind the meme lies a serious truthâBitcoin can be lost, stolen, or compromised in countless ways. Letâs unpack them. 2. đ”ïžââïž Phishing & Social Engineering You didnât lose your coins in a lakeâyou handed them to a scammer in disguise. - Fake wallet apps - Impersonated support agents - Malicious QR codes Protect yourself: Verify sources, use hardware wallets, never share seed phrases. 3. đ§ Forgotten Seed Phrases The most tragic boating accident: memory failure. - Lost notebooks - Misplaced backups - Overcomplicated storage Protect yourself: Use redundant, geographically distributed backups. Test recovery regularly. 4. đ Weak Passwords & Poor OpSec If your password is âBitcoin123,â youâre not sailingâyouâre sinking. - Reused passwords - No 2FA - Unencrypted notes Protect yourself: Use password managers, enable 2FA, encrypt everything. 5. đŠ Bitcoin on Exchanges âNot your keys, not your coins.â Exchanges are honeypots for hackers. - Mt. Gox - FTX - Countless smaller and bigger breaches Protect yourself: Withdraw to self-custody. Use multisig if possible. 6. đž Too-Good-To-Be-True Deals âDouble your Bitcoinâ schemes, fake giveaways, pump-and-dumps. - Influencer scams - Rug pulls - Fake airdrops Protect yourself: If it sounds magical, itâs probably malicious. 7. đ§Ź Identity Theft & Doxxing Your name, address, and holdings leaked? Youâre now a target. - Public bragging - Leaked KYC data - Blockchain analysis Protect yourself: Use privacy tools like CoinJoin, avoid linking identity to addresses. 8. đ§ Wrench Attacks Physical threats are real. If someone knows you hold bitcoin, they might come knocking. - Home invasions - Kidnappings - Coercion Protect yourself: Practice plausible deniability. Use multisig with trusted parties. Learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu! 9. đ§š Malware & Keyloggers Your device is compromised, and you donât even know it. - Clipboard hijackers - Remote access trojans - Browser extensions Protect yourself: Use air-gapped devices, verify software integrity, keep systems updated. 10. đ§Ș Quantum Threats (Long-Term) Not today, but maybe in the future. Quantum computing could break Bitcoinâs cryptography. - Exposed public keys - Legacy wallets Protect yourself: Stay informed. Use fresh addresses. Watch for post-quantum upgrades. 11. đ§ââïž Spiritual & Ethical Risks Bitcoin isnât just technicalâitâs moral. Greed, ego, and fear can wreck your journey. - Obsession with price - Neglect of values - Compromising principles Protect yourself: Anchor your Bitcoin practice in ethics, community, and long-term vision. 12. đąâ°ïž Death, Legacy & the Final Boating Accident a) đȘŠ What Happens to Your Bitcoin When You Die? Bitcoin doesnât care if youâre alive. If no one has your keys, your coins are goneâforever. No probate court, no âforgot passwordâ button. Just digital silence. b) đ Legacy Planning for Bitcoiners To pass on your Bitcoin, you need more than a willâyou need a map. - Clear instructions for accessing wallets - Secure backups of seed phrases - Trusted executor or multisig setup - Legal documentation (if needed) Protect yourself: Plan like you wonât be around tomorrow. Because one day, you wonât be. c) đ Tools & Strategies There are three main inheritance setups: - Custodian with beneficiaries (e.g. Riverâs Bitcoin Beneficiary plan) - Multisig with third-party service (e.g. Casa, Unchained) - Self-custody with detailed instructions (paper backups, encrypted files, etc.) Each has trade-offs in trust, complexity, and privacy. Choose what aligns with your values and your loved onesâ capabilities. d) đ§ Teach Before You Leave Your heirs may not be Bitcoiners. If they donât understand wallets, seed phrases, or how to verify transactions, they might lose everythingâor fall prey to scammers. Protect them: Leave behind not just access, but education. Write guides. Record videos. Make it foolproof. Give them easy to grok books and other useful resources. e) đïž Legacy Beyond Wealth Bitcoin isnât just moneyâitâs a philosophy. What values do you want to pass on? - Financial sovereignty - Ethical responsibility - Privacy and resilience đ§ Final thoughts: Your Bitcoin legacy can be a gift of freedom, not just fortune. But freedom demands responsibility. Every âboating accidentâ is a lesson in humility, security, and sovereignty. Donât wait to learn the hard way.

Tarek El Diwany's seminal book "The Problem with Interest" exposes how interest-based finance fuels inequality, instability, and moral decayâarguing for ethical, debt-free alternatives rooted in justice and real economic value. Tarek is my teacher and friend. I first met him at a conference in Leicester, back in 2007. Since then, I've had the second and third edition. The new fourth edition comes in hardback format: https://theproblemwithinterest.com/product/interest-and-inflation/

Once upon a time, a single unskilled labourer could migrate abroad, earn modest wages, and still provide for his familyâboth at home and back in his country of origin. Today, even with both parents working multiple jobs, families are drowning in debt. The cost of living has soared, wages have stagnated, and the dream of financial stability feels more distant than ever. What happened to us? Weâve been trapped in a system designed to extract our time, energy, and dignityâa Fiat Debt & Riba Matrix that feeds on perpetual borrowing and inflation. But there is a way out. Save in Bitcoin. Not just moneyâsave your time, your energy, your future. Think long-term. Break free from debt slavery. Protect your family. Reclaim your sovereignty.

For some, it's the other way around: when you understand how effed up the world is, you can then understand Bitcoin. Because you are ready to be unplugged.

Part 2: Personal Finance Strategies Section 3: Building Your Foundation: Saving for Property on the Bitcoin Standard For many, the dream of owning a home feels increasingly out of reach. High inflation, rising property prices, and riba-based mortgages create a system where you are forced to rent while your savings devalue. Bitcoin offers a strategic hedge to help you build a down payment on your own terms. 1. The Problem: Racing Against Inflation: Saving for a down payment in a fiat currency is a race you are destined to lose. The value of your cash decreases year after year, while the price of real estate often rises. You are saving in a melting ice cube to buy an asset that is getting more expensive. 2. Bitcoin: A Long-Term Store of Value for Your Goal: Think of Bitcoin as a savings account that operates on a different set of rules. - Preserving Purchasing Power: The primary goal when saving for a large, long-term purchase is to ensure your money holds its value. Bitcoin's fixed supply makes it a superior long-term store of value compared to inflationary currencies. It's designed to protect your hard work. - Case Studies from Volatile Economies: Look at families in countries like Argentina, TĂŒrkiye, or Nigeria. They don't have the luxury of stable local currencies. Many are already using Bitcoin to save for homes, cars, and businesses, protecting their wealth from hyperinflation and giving them a chance to build a secure future. 3. A Disciplined Strategy: Using a volatile asset for a medium-term goal requires a clear plan. - Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA): Don't try to time the market. Consistently convert a portion of your income into Bitcoin. This DCA strategy smooths out volatility and builds your position over time. (Note: substitute USD$ for your own fiat currency). - Low Time Preference: This journey requires patience. Instead of seeking a "quick flip," you are steadily building a foundation over 3, 5, or 7 years. This disciplined approach aligns perfectly with the gravity of purchasing a home. Call to Action & Reflection: Calculate how much your savings have lost to inflation over the past five years. Now, imagine if you had a savings tool designed to hold its value against that decline. What does true ownership mean to you, and how can a sound savings strategy help you achieve it? Disclaimer: The content of this article is not intended as financial, investment, or religious advice.
