+1 on the Hatha Yoga suggestion. Start with any yoga style and you will feel the benefits.

I thought that was an inverse Odell because he opens his shirt more the higher the price goes. 😂

Steel plates can store seeds using obfuscation techniques so they’re not plain text. The seed can also be split between multiple geographically separate steel plates so a single plate doesn’t reveal the seed.

That calculation of 88% loss seems outdated. Gold is currently $4338/oz so going from $35/oz to that suggests a 99% loss of purchasing power if measured in gold.

They could issue a store credit instead of a refund.

Gold has stood the test of time despite these challenges. This specific bar includes a difficult to counterfeit etching.

What about a bounty system offering a big reward for people who report them?

I agree with that sentiment of HODL in BTC and spend in XMR. Also agree that adoption of XMR is still too low compared to BTC for tipping etc… so LN is the more practical option.
I read somewhere that the chain analysis firms continuously probe Lightning nodes for their liquidity in an effort to track how funds move.
I would expect that increasing the time between on chain to Lightning swaps and the subsequent transactions would make that sort of tracking more difficult. As would using fragmented amounts, and sending differing rather than consistent amounts in swaps. Parking some in XMR for a while could also make it difficult to follow the transaction. And sticking to amounts that are common rather than very large/small amounts also probably makes tracking more difficult. A trustworthy VPN (most are probably honey pots), TOR, or tunnel would be essential to hide your IP from any node your wallet talks to. It shouldn’t be this much work to have privacy, but that’s how things are!
I’ve been following the free state project for a few years - they are an interesting experiment in libertarianism. The “Free Keene” crowd have a bunch of entertaining videos from their antics if you haven’t seen that already.

I think “Basically anonymous” is a dangerous belief for people to have.
It’s very easy to accidentally leave a trail that de-anonymizes previously private on-chain transactions, and the chain analysis firms run lightning nodes in an effort to de-anonymize lightning.
The main purpose of Monero is to make privacy the default so it’s difficult to mess up your privacy. Bitcoin and Monero are both useful in my opinion.
I’m a BTC pleb - not a Monero bro.

You mean the Jade from Blockstream that was just hacked for 4000 BTC on their Liquid network (where they froze all transactions in and out) because they’re larping at security?

Also - you typically scan a QR code so have no advance knowledge of what the web page will be. It could even be malware if someone placed malicious QR code stickers on the table.

Props to the person who left the parking garage because it required an app. I’m still in favor of doing that - but don’t always have the time and energy to do that myself.

Except they don’t hear it in cases like this and it doesn’t change.
I think the dystopian surveillance state is already here and not getting rolled back in my lifetime.
That means we need a parallel system that allows some semblance of privacy while still participating in clown world where we need to.
For example, I use a credit card to book airplane tickets because there is no privacy when going through an airport.
I use cash at the farmers market and wherever else I can to keep cash alive and circulating.
I used to try to get businesses and service providers to accept bitcoin but not anymore because I’m tired boss.

Probably true.
Bitcoiners who’ve been around for a while don’t trust exchanges, ETFs, hot wallets, single-sig setups, Bitcoin backed loans, Liquid, VPNs, Bitcoin Treasury Companies, Podcasters, KYC or entropy generation on device.
All based on lived experience (apart from ETFs - but they’re at least as vulnerable as the exchanges and most ETFs keep their BTC with Coinbase).
Normies don’t have that context so choose convenience over secure self-custody.

Glad to hear things are stable now. Not sure if it’s relevant in your case, but cat litter can contain a parasite that causes miscarriage so your girlfriend should not be the one cleaning out the cat litter box.
