I sold my 4 ounces of Gold on Feb 15th 2025 to buy Bitcoin. Gold’s price at the time: $2,883 Bitcoin’s price at the time: $97,500 If I would have held my gold it would have been up $4,448 total today and the Bitcoin I bought is down $1,964. But as you can see in the pic, if I would have bought Bitcoin instead of the gold on the days I bought the gold I would have netted about $14,300 more than the gold. Bitcoin is a long term play as I understood in 2025. I expect the Bitcoin to far outpace gold in the next 10 years and beyond.

Some records are meant to be broken. Some limits aren’t. 21,000,000 ₿

I have a 2024 Corolla Hybrid. I bought it new with 0 miles. 27 months later I have 88,000 miles on it. 9 oil changes at $120 each = $1,080 Tires = $800 Gas ≈ $12,800 Total = Over $14,000 in 2 years

Buying Bitcoin now is like when James Irvine bought the land that is now Irvine California in 1864 & 1866. He and his partners bought about 100,000 acres of near coastal land in California for $25,000! Then he just held it as they developed on top of the land. The foundation that controlled it was eventually forced to sell by tax law in 1977 to a group led by Donald Bren for $337 Million. In 1977 Irvine (like Bitcoin now and for centuries to come) it was still best to just hold and build on top of it. Donald Bren bought out all of his partners and now owns the land worth $20 Billion! Bitcoin is digital real estate. It’s Digital capital. Just like the physical capital of Irvine that increased in value from $25,000 in 1866 to $20 Billion in 2026. Moral of the story: Never sell your Bitcoin!

The Second Bank of the United States was America’s third attempt at creating a central bank. When it was created, the Second Bank of the United States was planned with $35 million in capital. The federal government (using taxpayer money) put up $7 million, and the remaining $28 million was supposed to come from private investors. Of that private money, $7 million was supposed to be paid in actual real money, gold and silver. Of course the investors put in much less than the required $7 million of real money and mainly just put in printed notes. The Bank was created in 1816/1817 under a 20 year charter. By 1823 the bank had created $15 to $25 million in bank notes, adding further to its liabilities. The bank only held about 30% to 40% gold and silver reserves compared to the amount of dollars they printed. The dollars at this time were redeemable for gold and silver, meaning each ounce of the metals had multiple dollars claiming them. The bank could contract or expand the money supply by printing more dollars or holding them when they were redeemed for gold and silver. In 1832 Congress passed a bill to renew the bank’s charter in 1836, but President Andrew Jackson, who was against central banks, vetoed the bill. In response to the veto, the head of the bank, Nicholas Biddle, deliberately tightened credit to slow down the economy at the expense of the people. But it backfired and reinforced Jackson’s claims that the Bank was an unaccountable, powerful institution willing to hurt the economy for its own survival. Jackson defeated the bank with the people’s help as he got reelected, but unlike presidents, banking institutions have time. 77 years later the banks finally won, creating the Federal Reserve in 1913. Now banks can create boom and bust at will, control the price of money all over the world, effectively controlling every aspect of the economy, and can print an infinite amount of money to buy any person they want and steal any resource they desire.

How the Coldcard Hackers Figured Out the Seed Phrases? 1️⃣ They scanned the open source firmware code (probably with AI help) looking for vulnerabilities 2️⃣ The attackers reverse engineered the buggy firmware and saw exactly how the software Pseudo Random Number Generator was started 3️⃣ The starting values came from low entropy sources inside the chip 4️⃣ Those sources were the device’s unique ID (a number burned into the silicon), timer values (a free-running counter that increments while the chip is powered), the Real Time Clock registers (which hold the time and sub-second values when the seed was generated), plus a few other pieces of chip state and some fixed public constants the library mixed in 5️⃣ They modeled a realistic range of all those values and fed every combination into a simulation of the exact same random number generator + BIP39 code Coldcard used 6️⃣ From that they could generate a complete list of every possible 12 or 24 word phrase that could have come out of those devices 7️⃣ With the data they had, that list only had about 1.1 trillion possible combinations 8️⃣ Once they had the list, they just derived the Bitcoin addresses from each phrase and checked the blockchain to see which ones had received money 9️⃣ With the keys in hand they sent the Bitcoin to their own wallet and the money was gone So the reverse engineering of the buggy code gave them limited amounts of data that was used to narrow down the enormous amount of possible BIP39 word combinations into something small enough to easily steal the funds

How To Set Up A Multi-Sig Wallet: 1️⃣ Buy 3 hardware wallets from different manufacturers (Trezor, Keystone, Jade, Passport, Ledger, etc) 2️⃣ Initialize each device with its own unique seed. Export the extended public keys from each one and combine them in a coordinator app (Sparrow, Specter, or Electrum) 3️⃣ Verify the receive addresses match on each hardware wallet. Back up all 3 unique seeds on paper or metal and also back up the wallet descriptor. Never store anything digital or online 4️⃣ Store the seed backups and the hardware devices in different physical locations. Never keep a seed with its device How To Send A Transaction After Set Up: 1️⃣ Open Sparrow on your computer and load your multisig wallet 2️⃣ Go to the Send tab. Enter the recipient address, amount, and fee rate, then create the transaction 3️⃣ Finalize it for signing. Sparrow generates an unsigned or partially signed Bitcoin transaction 4️⃣ Sign with any 2 of the 3 hardware wallets one at a time. Always confirm the details on the device screen 5️⃣ Once Sparrow shows you have 2 signatures, broadcast the fully signed transaction to the Bitcoin network
