The shoo heard around the world was a shameful act. I stand with Ben.

autonomous drone swarms built with off the shelf parts

will have positive and negative effects

positive: censorship resistant physical trade
negative: attacks on individuals and infrastructure, including miners and nodes, blame won't be easily attributable making attacks less costly and more common

non custodial user friendly mobile lightning wallets, especially on the receiving side where you also have an always on and inbound liquidity requirements

FUCK YES. VALUE FOR VALUE IS THE FUTURE.

Cheers, glad to hear you find the content helpful, that's why I do it!

I could talk about this topic for hours but will keep it short and sweet here.

1. Lead by example and stop using regulated services yourself.
2. When we onboard friends and family we should be giving them their first sats ourselves with non custodial mobile wallets. Let them feel the empowerment that sovereign bitcoin usage brings individuals, explain the tradeoffs that come with using regulated bitcoin services, direct them to resources and education that go into more detail or walk them through it yourself. We should not just be blindly sending people we care about to regulated services, especially without explaining the tradeoffs.
3. Local meetups are going to grow in importance as we transition into a proper bitcoin circular economy and they have the potential to greatly accelerate that transition. If you already have a local meetup consider participating, if you do not then consider creating one.
4. Support open source contributors, projects, and resources focused on the goal of sovereign bitcoin usage.

deleted all social media accounts except twitter

neither RSK or Omnibolt excite me, much more interested in statechains and federated chaumian mints

make the tradeoffs clear to newcomers and let them make their own decision, personal responsibility

coldcard, use it with sparrow or specter, with your own node

have a guide for coldcard + specter here: citadeldispatch.com/coldcard

the reality is going to be a combination of all of the above with other tools as well but if I had to pick one I would go with federated lightning enabled chaumian mints, pretty cool set of tradeoffs if it works as expected

most will be using custodial solutions, out of those that don't most will be using mobile wallets, some will use a cheap external signing device with their mobile

over time I expect many if not most to move to proper bitcoin ownership, full self custody, but it will be longer than 3 years and will be motivated by increasingly burdensome regulation which will take a bit to roll out but seems inevitable

yes, definitely, should have details figured out over the next few weeks

1. beginner: muun
2. advanced: sparrow + zeus, both with your own node

yes

Everything has tradeoffs. I expect bitcoin to become the global reserve currency with everything else trending to zero against it. It is the most censorship resistant and robust network at the protocol level and it is hard to see any other chain overcoming that lead. As a result it seems more productive to me to try to make it easier to use bitcoin privately because it will win whether we make that a reality or not. That said, in the short term it seems completely reasonable to use monero as an additional tool when it comes to transactional privacy with the overwhelming majority of savings held in bitcoin.

congrats, this is the hardest question I've had to answer so far, not sure tbh, love trying new shit, someone recently got me a $300+ bottle of macallan rare cask that may have been the best I have ever had but that seems like cheating considering I will never spend that many sats on a bottle, aberfeldy 12 may be my favorite bang for buck wise

I am on a plane and they are not serving alcohol.

• the theory that low time preference money will lead to low time preference art makes sense to me
• direct audience funding of content could be an absolute gamechanger

extremely easy to use mobile lightning wallets without channel/liquidity management that offer extremely good privacy guarantees with minimized custodial risk

most of it

chaos then light, bitcoin won't cause the chaos, it was inevitable already, bitcoin will reduce the severity and length of the chaos

that government mandated data collection policies are designed to protect us rather than control us

They have different tradeoffs. Signal has proper encryption and message privacy guarantees while anyone can message me on telegram without knowing my phone number.

I use both. Matrix is my favorite though. Come join our group: https://matrix.to/#/#citadel:bitcoin.kyoto

always love to see people standing up for their rights, will both be a massive force for good and used as a distraction, cautiously optimistic, we cannot back down, there is no other option

jitsi is great but call quality is not the best, if the conversation is going to be posted publicly anyway I prioritize quality over privacy tradeoff wise, zencastr and restream are solid
