Is this on a public repo yet? I'd love to take a peek at the code.
This is actually an expanded version of a previous post. There's still plenty of room for more expansion. Can add a bit, every year.

I really enjoy my bitcoin wallet setup. Each person has a different set of needs and what works for one may not work for another. I think of mine a stack; starting from the most secure and cold to the most hot: 🔒🔒🔒🔒 Multisig vault ❄️ 🔒🔒🔒 Seedsigner singlesig ❄️ 🔒🔒 Nunchuk singlesig, secured by a Tapsigner 🔒 Phoenix lightning Coinos custodial The multisig vault is collaborative custody. You might be able to guess the institution. This is here for inheritance purposes and to make it easier for my family in case of my demise or incapacitation. I feel very confident in the security model. My Seedsigner (I love their approach!) is for my non-KYC funds and is the next layer down. Completely cold storage. Nunchuk + tapsigner might be my favorite part of the stack. Having a physical device to secure bitcoin while enjoying convenience of just tapping an NFC card to the phone to spend is a great UX. I consider this to be my hot on-chain wallet to spend and convert to lightning as needed. Phoenix is a great lightning wallet. Although I don't love their fees, their UI/UX makes up for it. I'm always looking for a better solution for this part of my stack, but Phoenix is pretty hard to beat. I don't understand how Coinos makes money. They run a great on-chain and lightning service with low fees. Since it's custodial, I minimize its use, but it has NWC built-in so it works great with nostr. I consider it to be my hottest wallet and don't keep a lot of funds here, but you can't beat the convenience! Use as a PWA but with full app features. I'm happy to discuss! Tell me what I'm doing wrong!
Going down the bitcoin rabbit hole lead me into a mindset of not trusting anyone. It was a tough mindset to hold on to while I was still in it. I've learned to lean into trust much more since I realized the following. The trust required to get into a car and drive down the street already extends to thousands, or even tens of thousands of people that I will never meet. Everyone involved in the design, manufature, and inspection of the vehicles we drive and the infrastructure we drive on. Everyone driving their vehicles and all the same for each of those vehicles, plus the supply chain that ensures the quality of the fuel that goes into these vehicles. Have you ever verified for yourself that the gasoline in the pump meets quality standards? Unfortunately much of it is full of corn syrup these days, but all of this stuff functions and is affected by money. When we can trust that money is sound we don't need to verify all the rest because it's directly linked to proof of work. Counter intuitively when money requires trust, trust breaks down.
DCA is just accumulating capital. Selling opportunistically to pay for a CT scan or a dentist bill is simply liquidating an asset for personal consumption. It is the definition of using Bitcoin as a store of value. That is the correct definition. If it doesn't pay the rent, it isn't a job—it's a hobby or a savings vehicle. Trading implies you are actively churning capital to generate regular cash flow. What you are doing is simply managing your net worth. You accumulate when you can (DCA) and divest when you have a real-world liability to cover. That distinction is also what protects you. "Traders" are under pressure to perform every month to eat; you only have to sell when the expense is real. It is exactly that—managing your own personal treasury. "Money management" is the capital side: holding the asset that preserves purchasing power over time. "Liquidity management" is the currency side: timing your exits into fiat to ensure you get the best exchange rate when you actually need to spend. Traders try to profit from the volatility. You are just trying to ensure the volatility doesn't punish you when you need to pay a bill. Waiting for the price to be right before converting is just sensible treasury operations, not speculation.

真正的爱是什么？ 真正的爱具有多方面的特征，核心是：无条件的接纳、尊重与持续的付出。 1. 无条件的接纳与尊重 接纳全部的你：爱你的缺点和优点，不试图改变你，而是选择你“本来的样子”。 尊重你的独立：支持你的个人选择、事业和社交，不试图控制或束缚你。 2. 持续的付出与行动 主动给予：通过具体行动表达爱，如记录你的喜好、始终对你有空、提供高质量的陪伴。 愿意服务：在小事上为你付出，如为你准备食物、按摩，这些细节体现被珍惜的感觉。 3. 深度的情感连接 深度沟通：愿意分享内心想法，建立“深浅结合的聊天”，既有日常琐事，也有观念和感受的交流。 共同成长：鼓励彼此成为更好的人，关系是两个独立个体的相互成就，而非依赖或牺牲。 4. 经得起考验的坚定 原谅而非报复：原谅是因爱比错误更深刻，而非软弱。真正的爱在困难中更显珍贵。 专注与忠诚：遇见过你后，会自然地保持专一，想要与你长久走下去。 真正的爱不是瞬间的激情，而是日常的坚持和选择。它让你感到被看见、被偏爱，同时也能让你保持自由和完整。
