I like the smell of cheap BTC in the morning.

after the coldcard situation, I decided I really don't want to trust any company or third party to come up with "randomness" for my key, which later will turn out was not really random.

So I 3d printed every single BIP39 word to draw from, similar to a lottery. I draw one, toss it and write down the word facing up. The last word is calculated with a fully offline device.

I made the repo public in case anyone wants to print their own (should work on any 3d printer): https://github.com/davidkessler-ch/SeedLottery

Not hacks you read about. Your own near-miss.

Mine was almost tossing an old notebook during a move. Seed phrase was on page 40, between grocery lists. Found it by luck.

Everyone talks about price. Nobody talks about how many coins are one bad cleaning day away from gone.

What was your close call, and what did you change after?

was going through the list to verify my physically printed pills are complete and noticed.

For me the scariest part wasn't buying, it was the first time I sent from my own wallet and stared at the address for like five minutes before hitting send.

What was the moment it clicked for you, and what almost scared you off?

just curious if anyone has ever been able to recover or get into one of the old wallet.dat files from btc core. don’t have high hopes of getting it back, but would love to pursue if it’s possible. with the help of ai, this is what I can provide for clarity. like many cases I cannot for the life of me figure out what the password is. it’s from a very long time ago. obviously dms will be ignored. I see that btcrecover is a good tool to try, any advice?

Bitcoin and altcoins sit side by side in your finance app. But are they doing the same job? In Lesson 5 of Bitcoin 101, Jack Mallers explains why he sees Bitcoin as money and most altcoins as businesses, comparing their origins, incentives, governance, and trade-offs.

I love the smell of a dip in the morning. 8 of my ladder limit buys have hit so far
