@CredShields: the EVM smart contracts on Base

Both reports published in full. Every finding, every severity, every status. 👇

⚡️Had an inspiring chat with Joshua aka Mexican Magician @JoshuaDHCM about going from homeless and addicted to stacking sats, how @LawrenceLepard's The Big Print book orange pilled him, why The Bitcoin Army Community matters, and why he believes 1 BTC is possible with discipline and long term thinking🧡

🧡Must hear this one. Help me get the message out. Link ⬇️

For Bitcoin Parents:

If Bitcoin is proof of work money, Bitcoin inheritance should be as well.

We help you document your Bitcoin journey to pass down your wisdom for your children to read and understand before they receive their inheritance.

[Jack Mallers @jackmallers]

Bitcoin is a neutral, open-source public utility. Like fire, water, or the internet.

It is not a person. It is not an institution. It has no secrets.

Corrupt people do not get to rob humanity of our chance to fix the mess we inherited. Bitcoin is the solution, not the problem.

@Shravjhangiani left a 14-year career at Google to join a Bitcoin startup (@BeaverBitcoin_ ). @AubreyJesseau is obsessed with making Bitcoin as easy as sending a text.

We sat down to talk about one thing: 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐬.

Looking for a last minute gift for your kids, your nieces, nephews, whatever…

Here’s how to give them the gift of Bitcoin.

When I was a kid, my aunts and uncles gave me Treasury bonds.

But my parents had to hold them, nobody remembered where they went, and of course…

they ended up being basically worthless.

But giving Bitcoin isn’t that easy either…

here’s the issue with Bitcoin gifts:

1. Kids under 18 can’t legally have a River or Swan account.

2. Hardware wallets are like a hundred bucks, so that makes no sense if you’re giving less than that.

3. And little kids don’t even have phones.

So here’s what I did instead.

STEP 1
I downloaded a basic Bitcoin wallet app and created a separate wallet for each kid.

STEP 2
I sent about $50 of Bitcoin into each one.

STEP 3
Each wallet has its own seed phrase. I printed it out and the. I gave one copy to the parents, and I kept one backup.

STEP 4
Then I printed the public address QR code, put it in a small picture frame, and hung it on their wall.

So now they can scan it anytime and see their Bitcoin growing… but nobody can spend it.

After that, I deleted the wallet app completely.

The Bitcoin only exists via the seed phrase.

And every birthday, Christmas, Easter or whenever… I can just send more Bitcoin to that same address.

They watch it stack up for years.

We’ve been starved of real.

Real money, real food, real purpose, real everything.

Truth matters. Integrity matters. Principles matter.

We need to get back to real. That’s the revolution.

I break down the full "Trail of Carrots" framework—including 3 specific scripts for different personality types—in this week's article.

Read the full breakdown here: https://t.co/wp76tKUg6N

[Miguel Abascal @MiguelAbascal]

The heaviest burden is seeing the train coming when your loved ones are standing on the tracks.

You see the inflation. The silent theft.

You aren’t trying to win a debate. You are trying to protect them.

So you push. You explain.

And when they ignore you... it hurts. 🧵👇

[Miguel Abascal @MiguelAbascal]

This is the shift.

When they take a bite of the carrot, they take a step toward the rabbit hole on their own volition.

That is how conviction is built. One step at a time.

Stop pushing. Start placing.
