Everyone's worried about quantum computers breaking Bitcoin. Meanwhile, 70 people got physically attacked for their sats last year.

 "Not everyone wants to be a sovereign individual right now." The premium individual market is increasingly underserved. Self-custody doesn't have to be "no excuses" hard.

Today we solved a problem: Conferences / Events want branded Bitcoin tooling, what they don't want is to get stuck with inventory, have to deal with shipping and put down all the capital to create it and move it around securely. Solution is, create a portal so they can login, send them a couple of each items they wish to sell so they can showcase it, they drop-ship the items via us. Not stuck with any inventory, not excess capital spent on items that didn't sell or transporting and securing any of the merch. Show a PoS which checks our inventory, sells it if it's in stock, gives a 2 month delay warning if it's not in stock so they can preorder but either way is warned about expected delays. I expect this will take a few days to create and test end to end. The cool thing is, it can be for multiple companies at each event. For example, say SeedSigner, Bull Bitcoin and whoever else are at a Bitcoin Conference like BTC Mags, they can all individually be selling our merch with their brand and not have to lug it all around or get stuck with the excess, no up front capital needed other than buying the couple of showcase items. Sounds ideal, am I missing something?
Today I was lucky enough to catch up with two friends, @FractalEncrypt and @Max Fractal gave some really useful information pertaining to content structure, tools and flows, while also clarifying some details about Slip 39 and codex32, I have some fun coding tasks to hopefully get the codex32 details from Bails integrated into Sparrow and into SeedSigner. That will be fun learning making those pull requests. I'm going to put one of the codex32's on Fractals auction site, so keep some eyes open for that and also check out his website anyway, it's epic:

 Max gave me some insight into the consultation space, a few tips to make a better platform, a few problems to solve which are, thankfully, quite difficult! He also gave me some advice and asked questions about our path forward, how to get there, and thinking about what our total addressable market is. We spoke about white labeling self custody kits and he helped me think through this further on the who and how to go about it. He will be joining our platform in a few weeks, and that will give us some volume and further insight into any pain points. Max's website is also really cool, I have thoroughly enjoyed reading his & hus recommended content, you should absolutely check it out:
Towards Liberty
Notes on freedom, technology, and sovereignty
 I'm very grateful for my Bitcoiner friends who always are so generous with their time and advice, they give so much value and ask for nothing in return. Truly amazing people and faith in humanity is always restored after speaking with them 😎 This week, we are finishing off the memberships, paid / free content, getting product images up for what we have in inventory and we also got some amazing inventory in the prototype phase in France which will be in stock within 50 days. We created a new block style system for content creation, where Butlers can add products from our store and get commission for any product added to cart, or bought directly, from their content. We also added CRM linking, which needs to be tested, but now I'm glad we didn't get too far in that area as I want to use better FOSS tooling and will look at Next Cloud and Oodo before going to far in the wrong direction. image Coming up, I will be working on the calendar system - how do I have it so the calendar works both ways, not just us pushing data to their linked calendar, but if they have updated calendars, how do their clients get notified with tame changes, or cancelations, in a privacy focused way where no third party gets access to all of the Butlers calendar? Is it even possible? I'll also be tweaking the UTM system so the Butler can give master concierge links, or just links more broadly, to people who will work on client acquisition and get paid for the conversion. We currently have it set up for the Butler only to do that, so it should be a light lift. We spoke about white labelling the whole platform as a service, which was what I was wanting to do for my Personal Trainer friend once I have ironed out all the kinks.. I'm considering whether to go the private route or to consider open sourcing it if I could land funding via opensats or HRF, or maybe I just put it on Geyser? Either way, I need traction first and to iron out all the kinks, so that's a down the line problem to solve. First things first, PoW to get all this content up and provide Butlers the tools they need to succeed. Lastly, I will also be looking at adding other peoples E-commerce store, so it can be a drop down to switch between stores, and so that the Butler can add their products as a block in our blocked content system. I suspect it will be too much to do this, and will open ourselves up to too much technical debt, but we shall see.
