I forgot I had a @Bitkey wallet on my iPhone that I just wiped and replaced. Just restored the wallet in seconds on my new iPhone - simples!
Found this joke on Quora. Thought it was appropriate for Bitcoiners πŸ˜‰ The world's richest man is dying. He's made peace with that. But what bothers him is no one in the afterlife will even know it. Here he's a self-made man who created this huge fortune from scratch, but he can't take it with him. Not that he could spend it,of course, but just to SHOW everyone what a great success the poor boy had become. He broods over this so that his guardian angel is worried. One night the angel flies to Heaven to consult Jesus. Jesus says β€œWell, you know earthly wealth has no place here" The angel replies β€œI know Lord, but he's been such a good man. Did a lot for charity, ran his business honestly. He's only human. He can't help having this little quirk. Isn't there something we can do to ease his mind? Jesus thinks a moment. β€œβ€All right. Let's look him up in the Book of Life" The Book is like a film of this man's life and seeing his struggles, Jesus is moved. He tells the guardian angel β€œWake him and tell him I will allow him to bring one suitcase-only one, mind you. And he can fill it with whatever wealth he chooses. At the moment he of his death it will be brought to heaven with him.” The angel goes down and gives the message .The guy is happy but what should he bring? Our money would mean nothing to people from another time, jewels could be faked, stocks and bonds could not be traded so they'd be so much paper. Finally it dawn's on him. Gold. Gold has been valued throughout history. He sends out for the biggest suitcase he can find, fills it with gold bars, and sets it beside his bed. Now he can die in peace, and he does. True to the promise he arrives at the Pearly Gates, suitcase in hand. St. Peter greets him warmly and says β€œAll right. Let's see what was so important to you that eternal life and bliss wasn't enough" The man proudly opens the suitcase, stuffed with row after row of little gold bars. St. Peter stares at it, puzzled, and says β€œYou brought pavement?”

Just venting. I’m done with @strike UK Deposited a lump sum of cash on Tuesday at 7am. BTC Price 58k. Not a huge amount but not small either. It’s now Friday 8:28am and BTC price is 63K and the funds have still not released so have missed out on those gains. I love @jack mallers and all he stands for and think Strike is the best exchange out there but this must be the third or fourth time this has happened but never for this long. I appreciate it’s out of their hands but I’ve never had this level of friction with any other exchange. It must be hugely frustrating for Strike in the UK and they must have difficulty keeping UK customers. Very envious of Strike customers in the US where this issue does not arise.
