when peak fiat?

"Thank you for waiting" makes a huge difference from "sorry I'm late".

The way these responses shift the energy away from a tone of "I'm waiting for permission" or "I seek your validation" -- and into recognition of the value-for-value behind any meaningful exchange -- make for great examples of what sets a gentleman apart from a commoner.

Wishful thinking that these hackers would snip some wires while they're in there. France's tax bureau is becoming a trusted partner to wrench attackers all over Europe!

Important reminder that adversarial thinking goes way beyond the consensus level. Stay private, stay safe, and thanks for the quality news to start my Monday!

Fuck you, Mow, you sold-out suit-simping cunt. Purposefully misreprenting the monetary incentives b/w miners who pocket these marginal spam fees and nodes who host a non-marginal pile of shit for the rest of time.

NODES ARE DECENTRALIZATION. Not your miner buddies you touch peepees with at social mixers, nor your wallets that abstract away this nitty-gritty, nor Core and their low-T DEIcoin dreams.

Grow a fucking pair.

I got sick of transplanting Sparrow wallet labels while emptying every Coldcard I have, so I decided to automate it.

https://github.com/Launchframe/coldcard-panic-drain

What is this?

• Migrate all funds + labels from one Sparrow wallet to another, one UTXO at a time (thanks nvk)
• Works with any P2WPKH (bc1q...) wallet (other script compatibility coming soon)
• Generates a recommended schedule + .ics file for importing reminders into your calendar of choice (use --dnd-start / --dnd-end for quiet hours)
• Optional broadcast feature to automatically send per schedule
• Privacy: fee + schedule jitter to avoid obvious patterns; fully offline standard operation, with auto-broadcaster limited to localhost or *.local node RPC addresses (.onion available with use of the
• Coin control: avoids address reuse

Have you tested it? I used the current tip of main (commit 606b7a6) on a Macbook to drain dozens of UTXOs from two separate Coldcard wallets.

UX

1. Plan: analyzes the source wallet and destination wallet to generate a transaction batch and schedule.
2. Generate: create PSBTs and load them onto microSD.
3. Airgap: double-check each destination address and sign each transaction on your Coldcard.
4. Broadcast: use Sparrow to broadcast each transaction when you see the calendar reminder; or use --broadcast-due to automatically broadcast on schedule.

Stack Python + pip for execution Java for Sparrow interop

Additional coverage

1. Operating systems: this is untested on Windows and Linux
2. Other software wallets: Electrum, Nunchuck, etc are not currently supported
3. Address versions: P2WPKH only is supported for now, though I may expand support soon
4. Derivation paths: currently reads the destination addresses from Sparrow wallet file (.mv.db) and fails if it's not P2WPKH

CAVEATs

1. I built this with the help of Claude and Composer. While it's functionally validated, I have not manually reviewed all code.
2. These are real transactions. Please PLEASE check every output address. The script makes a reasonable attempt to confirm your ownership of the destination wallet, but failure to check every PBST destination can result in IRREVERSIBLE LOSS OF FUNDS.
3. I've added safeguards to discourage agents from lifting wallet info to the cloud, but I DO NOT RECOMMEND asking an agent to run this script as that will put your Sparrow wallets (xpubs, derivation paths, etc) in context. Agentic setup of the script workspace and discussing strategy (timing, fees, etc) should be safe, though.

DMs and PRs are welcome.

Did Asmongold actually play a significant role in Starmer's resignation?

gm and happy Day, nostr!

I had some fun with the numbers, since everybody likes to talk about Laszlo's 10k BTC pizza in dollar terms.

** May 22, 2010 ** • 10,000 BTC got Laszlo $41 in pizza-denominated terms • Closing price of gold at the time: $1,200 per ounce • Using the pizza-USD-exchange rate: 292,683 BTC/ounce • BTC/gold price: just under 0.1 mg gold per BTC

** Bitcoin Pizza Day 2026 ** Today, 1 BTC is worth just about about 17 ounces of gold [https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/BTCXAU]

The money spent on those 2 pizzas carries the same purchasing power of a whopping 10,632 POUNDS of gold.

But that doesn't mean we should just hodl. Laszlo transcends whale status because he did the work, and in doing so he became the first "block" in proving Bitcoin's real world use case. Not to mention his work spreading adoption by writing the first MacOS client for Core.

One of the most underrated channels on YT. Historians will look back on your collages as a "warning that ought to have been heeded."

Finally catching up on the latest season of #Yellowstone now that I have a home & TV again. Always loved this show for it's proof-of-work attitude and beautiful shots of Montana nature and a fantastical glamorization of the cowboy lifestyle.

Anybody else find value in this show?

His elevation seems a bit low. Hard to tell tho - also how tf is he holding a phone camera while firing a rifle??

Ah the vidya gaming days. To think the little anarchist teen in me was more involved in MLG boards and 4chan than any cypherpunk mailing lists and IRCs in 2009.

By 2010 I took off the anon mask to study hard and make something of myself. I was so swept up in university I wouldn't even stumble upon Satoshi's white paper until 2013, and I more or less brushed it off as "neat, its like WoW gold but birderless. Now to get back to work".

I developed a passion for stock trading after graduating and made a second job out of it. I studied and refined models & strats and still managed to pretty consistently lose money at it. My work paid well, at least, but owning a house still felt so far out of reach.

Before I know it, early 2017 comes around and I was finally pricing out a new gaming rig for myself. I opted for the top tier Nvidia GPU since VR was all the rage and I had a rudimentary understanding of PoW mining. I felt like a genius as I began racking up altcoins and found the ROI on the card to be somewhere in the 6 month range. It was intoxicating.

So naturally I open a Coinbase account and build positions in whatever coins looked promising. Ethereum hellspawn were getting thrown off quicker than I could keep up with, but the trader & investor on me was up to the task. I consumed everything I could about countless tokens and chains. With so many to go through, I didn't take time to study the OG.

Even still, BTC was my largest position right up until I liquidated my portfolio merely days before the ICO bubble popped.

I thought the show was over for sure. The FTC would control the show. The SEC won't let it be.

I focused more time and energy to grinding for Amazon. My performance was suffering because I just couldn't muster up any fucks given trying to build SDKs to entice more humans into telling more things to more subsidized microphone spyware pucks. Somewhere toward of my time there, the rebel in me started buying more BTC. But I still didn't bother studying it. I didn't have anyone to share the journey with.

For my laziness, I thoughtlessly sold it all again, this time at $0.005M a coin in the midst of the pandemic. I rolled the cash into short-dated puts against US stock index ETFs for dem quick gains while the economy went to hell. "There's no way this 25% drop has fully priced in the damage to our fragile supply chains and employment structures."

I was depressed, and gambling my money where my mind was.

Then the Fed pulled out the QE bazooka, and with my pants down around my ankles I learned the hard way: never bet against the money printer.

My net worth tanked, and my ego was shattered. I looked at the plaster of my rental home's wall and asked myself how everything got so messed up. I was in great shape, with a loving boyfriend and a lease on a home in the suburbs of an expensive city. I hardly saw my friends, but I had let myself get peer pressured into two jabs "for the good of the people". I had a great job but was compelled to gamble with huge portions of my income. My boyfriend was rapidly climbing the corporate ladder himself, yet also gambling with huge portions of his income.

Everything seemed upside down, and I couldn't shake the feeling that I had violated some yet-unknown code wasn't the equity I threw away, or the dollars. I felt self-violated f had let go of something far more precious.

I finally started reading into Bitcoin. The technical underpinnings weren't nearly as complex as I thought they would be.

I got my first hardware wallet and stacked gently through lockdown.

China banned mining. FTX collapsed. I stacked.

Signature and Silvergate folded alongside the run on SVB. I stacked.

Bitcoin's game theory was starting to make sense to me. It felt almost like the intoxication I had felt during the ICO hype, but more sustained, more gradual. Underpinned by an unwavering optimism bubbling up in me for the first time in living memory.

Immutable, distributed recordkeeping. Final settlement is the intrinsic value. Honesty is more profitable than deception. Rules without rulers.

I began to ponder just what it could mean for this corrupt system we're born into.

I stumbled, and into the rabbit hole I fell.

I look back and think what a shame to have gone to a top-10 CS undergrad program yet never once heard about Bitcoin on campus. To have been an anon through high school and give up on the ethos just as literal faucets of sound money sprouted up on the internet.

But I probably would have lost it all even if I had. If by some miracle I managed to keep my keys safe, I would've sold it all for pennies anyway.

So I just remind myself:

🫂 your loved ones 👣 touch grass and live life to the fullest 💞

10 years is only a few epochs away.

Beat me to it 🫡

Fun fact: BTC/gold price still has not broken to new highs yet.

"New all-time high $99,000" is just an illusion

So many of my family and friends saying "I'll wait for a dip on election uncertainty..."

Of course it will dip. It might dip to $80k. Maybe $69420. It may even give the 58k gang one more hurrah.

Waiting to accumulate absolutely scarce freedom money because clown world has you in their thralls is akin to the starving man turning down his first meal in a week and hoping the sandwich will come with fries when he digs it up later.

Stay humble.

Looking through old photos and remembered the last custodial wallet I closed. Then goodness I only had a fraction of Buterin's shitcoin in there when I closed it, but to think Toro let me clearly wallet account with no clear warning that my coins would be lost to me.

Self-custodial Bitcoin or bust.
