It is extremely underrated. People don't know how bad it is and for how little criminals are ready to cut off a finger/kidnap you.
Even if you don't die - you don't want to suffer the experience of feeling hopeless at an armed gang set out to make you suffer.
See https://github.com/jlopp/physical-bitcoin-attacks for gruesome examples
The biggest concern is how easily trace-able it is, and will become, with AI-assisted tooling.
A sufficiently motivated criminal group can pretty easily:
- Collect publicly-available leaked exchange data (e.g the big Coinbase leak). They now know the rough size of your stack, as well as email/name (potentially address).
- 1a. they could also just bribe internal employees for data, this is an on-going concern, as your data is never deleted. Once you have bought off a KYC exchange, you can assume that data will leak in time.
-
Cross-match email with any other data breach off any e-commerce website. They now know your personal address where you ship orders to.

Further, the KYC exchange data (e-mail, name, address, phone) can all be cross-linked with various other breaches to get an AI-assisted similarity score to try and guess which details belong to the same person. In other words - it doesn't have to be 1-to-1. Maybe you re-used the phone on another website which has your same name but different e-mail - there's reason to conclude you own that e-mail too. Maybe they verify that e-mail in 10 other websites belonging to the same name, but also a new number in some places. Maybe they verify the email and new number consistently map to a new address.
It is safe to assume that sufficiently-motivated black-hat actors contain resources consisting of all of your online activity. The criminal groups don't even need to be advanced - they can just purchase the bundle of email/address off of the black-hat actors and then they have your information.
unless you're 100% carnivore, this cannot be correct. out of experience, we recommend you do regular check ups or at least look carefully yourself. oil pulling is a must if you won't brush
are you serious, the US or whichever government just accepts this letter and doesn't raise criminal proceedings?
I can't see this working. I know that in certain jurisdictions there is a threshold for unpaid taxes that turns into a criminal proceeding - e.g $120k - and at that point they'll put you in jail no doubt.
which country are you in, if you're free sharing?
eventually that income goes from the company to your personal name, no?
yep! good point. those are full of microplastics.
Another gotcha is kettles. Many electric kettles have plastic inside in various places.
I got a full steel quality italian kettle called Ottoni Fabbrica.
I like to put coconut oil, coconut milk, sea salt, turmeric, and cinnamon in my coffee.
Do you blend it?
Back in the days, I did bulletproof coffee. It was amazing.
One concern is the microplastics from the blender plastic touching piping-hot liquid - that's not good.
True. Strong wrists from heavy lifting will go a way longer way than an ergonomic mouse imo. But still important to protect the wrists - can't hurt both ways
I love the idea, but I haven't seen a good implementation yet.
I tried one and the DPI/sensitivity just feels off to me. My Razor Basilisk v3 looks like a child's toy, but is just so so much nicer to use digitally.
Physically, it's ergonomically good enough. But I wish it was vertical!
yep, this is the correct take. change is inevitable unless you believe in a fixed universe
what you should be discussing is what "change" constitutes Change with a capital C
Life advice is cliche because the web is full of it. Just don't read it if you don't want to.
Where there's a market for something (such content), there will be people writing it. That's not a bad thing.
This one is above-average, at least, and embodies the general Bitcoiner values pretty well.
