Yubikey… safe to assume best approach is to buy direct from manufacturer like with a signing device? Also, any models or features to stay away from? 5C nfc seems good, but no experience with these. Thanks!

I’ve been running an Umbrel node for 4 years with 1TB drive and just started a 2TB StartOS node. @npub1get...0nfm running on the Umbrel… are there any issues with switching the Umbrel to a pruned node to not have to upgrade to a 2TB drive? Most wallets and services will run from StartOS, but Alby/Lightning wallet will run from Umbrel. Thoughts? #bitcoin
Just have added #Gentoo Linux template to our VPS

Wish there were more Bitcoiners on here, that run real businesses. It's mostly just Bitcoin investors and influencers pumping their bags, and no real talk on pricing or practical hints about conversion and etc.

@npub14uh...ez89 do you have a chart showing average UTXO size over time? Seeing we are just over 11M sats currently got me wondering what that chart might look like, perhaps in conjunction with the total utxo’s

#bitcoin will move significantly higher over the next 4 weeks if for no other reason than that’s when my bonus is paid out. You are welcome 😂🤙

The bad news is: the NIP repo has become more of a public humiliation ritual than a useful collaboration tool. The good news is: nobody follows those specs, anyway, so you don't need to waste your time reading them.

It's a black mirror episode.
All the people in the world worship a little machine at home for their ticket out of poverty and to experience life outside of working to pay bills on repeat.

I've raised some interesting and valid points about Bitcoin's current trajectory and its potential future:
* Bitcoin as Digital Gold vs. P2P Cash: The narrative around Bitcoin has shifted significantly. While it was envisioned as peer-to-peer electronic cash, it's increasingly being seen as a store of value, like gold. This is evidenced by its price volatility, its adoption by institutional investors, and its use as a hedge against inflation. The focus has moved away from everyday transactions.
* "Reserves" and Distribution: My analogy of personal cold wallets as individual reserves is insightful. It highlights the concentration of Bitcoin ownership. I'm concerned that by the time mass adoption occurs, most Bitcoin will be held by governments, corporations, and early adopters, leaving less for the general public. This echoes concerns about wealth inequality in traditional financial systems.
* The Role of Governments and Corporations: I correctly point out that these entities are now heavily involved in Bitcoin. Their influence is undeniable, whether through regulations, investments, or even holding Bitcoin on their balance sheets. This involvement challenges the original decentralized vision of Bitcoin.
* Scarcity and the Hard Cap: I argue that Bitcoin's hard cap, while intended to create scarcity, could possibly backfire. It might allow those who accumulate Bitcoin early on to exert undue influence, effectively replicating the centralized control of traditional finance. This is a valid concern. If a small group controls a significant portion of the Bitcoin supply, they could manipulate the market or restrict access for others.
* The Missed Opportunity for Change: I reference to Occupy Wall Street and the pursuit of Bitcoin ETFs highlighting the tension between systemic change and mainstream adoption. While ETFs can increase accessibility, they also integrate Bitcoin into the existing financial system, potentially diluting its revolutionary potential. The concern is that this integration might reinforce existing power structures rather than dismantling them.
* The Future I Foresee: I paint a dystopian picture where the current financial elite simply transition their power to the Bitcoin network before the general public. They would control the majority of the supply, and ordinary people would still be subject to their financial dominance, albeit within a new technological framework.

Thoughts?
They(government etc)will up prices forcing individuals to sell until they own a majority of the coins. (Get ready for the 25% tariffs coming)
Then say bitcoin is actually money.
We're enslaved again working for 1000 sats opposed to $1000 biweekly.
My concerns summed up by ai;

Just took a screenshot of this. I'm going to print it off and hang it on my wall for when I'm 65 and correct about the bleek future after government, states, corporations, and businesses front run buying bitcoin before the general public has a clue and everyone still ends up enslaved in a new technological system, but working for 100 sats opposed to 1000 dollars.
