Some quotes copied from "National Emergency: Executive Order 6102 and the Heist of the Century", an excellent article by Julian Fahrer and, imho, important for Bitcoiners to factor into their strategy. "Realizing that the government is not your friend is like learning that Santa Claus isn’t real. A necessary part of growing up, but a potentially traumatic fact that needs to be introduced to children carefully." The method with which gold confiscation was made legal was described in the article as "More like a Frankensteinian chimera lab rat fed plutonium for breakfast." "History has shown that the invocation of national emergencies has, time and time again, given the United States government almost unlimited capacity to encroach on civil liberties." "The […] answer is to do a basic pattern match between 1933 and today. People had money the government couldn’t control; Government wasn’t happy; Government stole the money. No more analysis required: the Feds will steal your stuff." @Bitcoin Magazine
Just realized: If you quote your products in fiat you need to put an expiration date. If you quote in Bitcoin this is not necessary as products will automatically get more expensive the longer the customers waits.

I am operating the #cashu mint https://mint.mountainlake.io - feel free to use it (responsibly).
I imagine that a non-zero number of Bitcoiners have used vanity seed phrases of some non-trivial sorts. Did anyone ever "find" such Bitcoin? In addition to finding small hashes we can now also mine the human psyche for coins.
What are the risks to be considered when locking an opendime away for 10 years? @DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM 🌞
