"... It may be difficult for laymen and astrologers to understand how an eclipse can either cause or symbolize an event that precedes it.... All planetary influence is basically electromagnetic. It is alternating current cause at high frequencies. At such high AC frequencies, there is no such thing as yesterday, today and tomorrow; no 'before' or 'after' just an eternal now at high oscillatory freqeuncies..."

Had I thought to look at @Coinkite’s natal chart for this eclipse season, I would have known something catastrophic was about to happen.
Coinkite’s natal Sun and Moon are BOTH being hit by the Aug 12 and Aug 28 eclipses, indicating a volatile time that impacts the company’s outward identity, as well as its internal foundations.
Additionally, there’s another striking pattern that sticks out: both the company and its flagship product (@COLDCARDwallet) were launched during a Mercury retrograde.
Mercury retrogrades are notorious for technical failures, miscommunications, and important details getting overlooked. I would never recommend launching a company or product during one.
Not only was COLDCARD launched during a Mercury retrograde, but the planet was exactly retrograding over Coinkite’s midheaven, the point associated with public reputation, prominence, and legacy.
So in retrospect, it makes a lot of sense that COLDCARD’s technical failures is what the company will likely be remembered for.
@btcpriestess@BenJustman@nvk It’s western astrology so I assume you’ll have a slightly diff interpretation, but the important details remain the same.
In August, the solar eclipse is hitting their natal sun, and the lunar eclipse is hitting their natal moon. Absolutely crazy.
@IvarKreugerII I did the work. 10000+ hours of podcasts and shit. Watched all the tutorials. The info was out there. They didn’t have to tell me to absolutely do it for me to know that my simple setup wasn’t AI proof in 4 years. I knew it wasn’t. I still trusted.
I also knew about multi sig and burning CDs JW Weatherman style and chose to disregard that too. The hard truth is realizing that btc self custody was really just for nerds.
Those who got out unscathed are fortunate. But wtf happened to self responsibility? Don’t trust verify right? In hindsight, that ethos is so retarded b/c a trust-less society sucks. Maxis are mad because they trusted.
@BTCsessions@Martez305@MacOnChain@TexasDawgFan 100% true. I followed your tutorial Ben to set mine up. I watched the dice roll portion and chose to disregard and trust that I’d be fine. I would NEVER blame another person for my own complacency. Self responsibility is what this whole btc thing is all about.
@BTCSpend@TheBTCTherapist This was the same for me and I got lucky but I knew the risks of this setup a long time ago. I never proclaimed to do everything right. I trusted CC and the “experts”. Dice rolls were in the tutorials for CC set up if you actually did the work. Self responsibility is a bitch.
