We would like to thank everyone who believed in us, used our service and engaged with us over the past 2.5 years, its been an amazing #Bitcoin journey.

great thread on hardware wallet security.
TL:DR - use a passphrase and use a Seedsigner

[SeedSigner @SeedSigner]

More of this is coming. I don't relish saying it, but I have "seen this movie before" and feel compelled to share my experiences with the larger bitcoin community.

Going to share some of my experiences and perceptions in a brief-ish 🧵...

@hodlonaut @Bitcoinbeach @BitcoinMagazine It was an opinion piece of mine published by @BitcoinMagazine which got me a podcast interview with @Bitvice_ which led to @the_surfer_kids first Bitcoin donation. That's how this project started. Bitcoin Ekasi wouldn't exist if Bitcoin Magazine hadn't published that article🙏🏾🧡

@BitcoinEkasi @danheld if Bitcoin and Bitcoiners are to survive and keep the message on target, we are going to have to learn how to deal with trolls who spam the network. Just another boss to beat en route to the final boss.

in 2015, if you bought $52k of #Bitcoin you would have the equivalent of $2.5m today and you wouldn't be worried about this problem.

[Magnus Heystek @MagnusHeystek]

The R1m offshore allowance today only buys $52 000. In 2015 when it was 1st introduced it could buy you $84 000. I see this as a form of foreign exchange controls...subtle, but effective. Making us all poorer.
