12 bitcoin security levels: - level 0: on an exchange. You don’t really own anything. - level 1: hot storage on a closed source shitcoin wallet (like @Ledger) - level 2: hot storage on an open source bitcoin only wallet (like @bluewalletio or @SparrowWallet) - level 3: cold storage on a usb hardware wallet with shitcoin support - level 4: cold storage on a bitcoin only usb hardware (like @COLDCARDwallet mk4 or @BitBoxSwiss) - level 4: cold storage on a bitcoin only airgapped hardware wallet without reproducible builds (like @KeystoneForBTC) - level 5: cold storage on a bitcoin only airgapped hardware wallet with reproducible builds (like @foundationhq Passport) - level 6: analog-only airgapped cold storage (Passport supports this) with self generated ephemeral seed - level 7: cold single seed + passphrase (protect against seed compromise) - level 8: Shamirs secret sharing cold single seed (protect against seed compromise & introduce fault tolerance) - level 9: hybrid 2/3 multi-sig with 1 hot key - level 10: full cold 2/3 multi-sig - level 11: hybrid 3/5 multi-sig with 1 hot key - level 12: full cold 3/5 multi-sig Could be split up further but might not make a lot of sense. Bonus points for connecting to your own node at any level. I’m sure many will disagree somewhere. What would you change? What would you remove or rank differently? Note higher security is not always the best fit for your situation.

Yes they do

This turned into a more personal & longer post on AI, code & bitcoin: This is my custom agent dashboard. I'm burning through 3 Claude Max 20x accounts & a Cursor account on a weekly basis now. Switching between accounts is a hassle on Claude Desktop so I reworked my dashboard, here I can see weekly & 5h limits clearly, to more easily delegate work between accounts. I've tried @t3dotcodes and it's pretty great but we've entered the era where you can just spawn into existence whatever custom software you can wish upon which will beat any generic piece of software 9 times out of 10. My biggest jobs have an automatic load balancer, each account has a coordinator, it can delegate work to other accounts. Coordinator agents mostly don't do real work, they may check, verify, merge and well.. coordinate. Cross-agent memory & communication is mostly just files, mostly markdown, which need a lot of care and continuous cleanup. Managing context is not trivial and you want agents to be able to communicate through each other which means outside their own context. 2 of the Claude accounts are sponsored by corporate, yes I still have a freelance fiat job, and most work being done here is for corporate, currently working on migrating a codebase and an MCP server. I used to be a software engineer, I don't know what I am today but it's not that. I used to write code 8h/day for the past +10 years, now it's 0%. Code review is still a significant chunk of the job for the more critical work but more trivial tasks should get explicitly categorized as such and never suffer the burden of code review. Don't care about the title either, but I know I've never been more excited about my job than I have been today. Code quality matters much less these days. What does matter is building smth actually valuable, the usability, performance and of course.. security. And honestly, it's often much more exciting than bitcoin. Bitcoin moves slow and outside of some niche tribal echo chamber here on X, nobody gets it. I've used AI on bitcoin and built some pretty amazing things imho (check out the bitsaga website insights page) but I feel it's mostly an empty room I'm talking into. Within bitcoin what's the percentage that grasps musig2 or silent payments? And silent payments is the kind of shit that fires me up. Kill the fucking bitcoin address already, it's obnoxiously unusable. So you build shit but barely anyone cares. I guess that's what being early means. But I'm human, I also get distracted. AI is the crazy gorilla in the room right now and I'm having so much fun dancing with him. Lately there's been more silence from me on here as I've focused on AI itself and the fiat job more where the CTO of a +2k employees company is pointing me at problems to "go work your AI magic" over there. Make no mistake bitcoin is the vision, the moonshot, the revolution. Honestly I'm pretty proud to be in the vanguard charging into the fiat system. But it saddens me to see so many just go "It's all fucked, I'm outa here". I disagree so fucking much. Our ancestors where torn apart on the battlefield for the freedoms we are privileged with today and nowadays quite a lot seem to be willing to just flee before the battle of our time has even started... Rage, rage against the dying of the light A historic poem is just words on a screen, until we choose it's much more than that.

Cybersecurity is going through a phase shift. AI on the offense side, plowing through insecure human slopcode, should make it clear that AI will have to be on the defense as well. Agents are monitoring, and acting, on my server far faster and better than I ever will.

This is absolutely sickening: belgian inflation hits 5.25% which means in less than 14 years your euros will be worth HALF. Think about it: for every 10k you have in your bank account today that you still have by May 2040, the number on your screen will still be the same but it will be worth exactly half at that current inflation rate. Paying 50% in taxes is painful but at least we get quite a bit, however government inefficient it may be, in return. But that 50% loss in purchasing power is siphoned by those who own assets and the pain is for those who only save in euros (poor & middle class). This is not COVIDs fault. This is not Putins fault. This is not Trumps fault. This is inherent to the fiat monetary system that keeps creating money out of thin air to support unbridled government spending. This is not new. We've seen this time and time again across history. The Romans did it, the Chinese did it, we're doing it. History rhymes. This train doesn't stop. Got bitcoin?
