You’re not a Bitcoiner until you… Buy Bitcoin. But then you’re like wait, I need to get these coins off the exchange. So you get a hardware wallet. But then you’re like wait, this is a ledger. So you get a cold card. But then you’re like wait, it isn’t using a passphrase. So you use a passphrase. But then you’re like wait this isn’t multisig and multisig would be better. So you buy 4 more coldcards and set up a multisig. But then you’re like wait I can’t just do coldcards I have to guard against supply chain attacks. So you buy a ledger again and probably a bitbox too. But then you’re like wait, I haven’t geographically distributed these. So you disperse them throughout the country. But then you’re like wait, what about jurisdictional risk? So you disperse them to multiple countries. But then you’re like wait, what if I was tracked as I was placing the hardware wallets? So you… There’s actually no end. It just keeps going like that forever. Congrats you’re a Bitcoiner now lol 😂

OMG! Ugh grrrrrrr, wt... How is an average person going to ever become "bitcoiners"? I just recently aquired my first physical device, a bitkey. Haven't sat down to set it up yet. So before I do... Could someone orient me... Where does this fit in the whole scheme? And the. Someone mentioned utxo per utxo or something of that sort... How does that apply and can it be accommodated by one physical device? All the gentle encouraging support, appreciated. 🙏🏻🌹🕊️🧿
I find it hilarious that 90% of bitcoiners in their brain think they are fuckin James Bond 007 or el chapo and require cia level security when they are mere mortal law abiding citizens cold storage with a pass phrase takes care of 99% of their threat models. The avg bitcoiner does not need keys spread out in multiple countries lol like let’s be fuckin real here. Nothing wrong with protecting your stack but a lot of shit people do is simply not necessary. These influencers/ Bitcoin celebs biggest threat model is somebody kidnapping their loved ones and demanding bitcoin. No Cold card or multi sig will protect you from that. If your not a bitcoin celebrity or “influencer” nobody fuckin knows who you are no one knows you have bitcoin. Unless you open your mouth and feel the need to brag about your stack like an idiot. Cold storage is all you need.
