I should have listened to the latest episode before boosting! You explained Bip39 perfectly in episode 19. In a second attempt to drop some knowledge I'll direct you to output descriptors. Output descriptors are an attempt to solve the Bip39 issue of missing derivation information in wallet backups. Output descriptors are most prominently implemented in the popular Muun Wallet although a number of other wallets support them: outputdescriptors.org. I love the show, keep up the good work!

Forget about Telegram, get an XMPP server and use OMEMO. There's modern XMPP apps out there like Dino on desktop and Conversations on Android. Works great my family uses it everyday!

the earlier you started with Bitcoin the more regrets you have makes sense with all that has happened… Goal is to stack sats hard but also spend occasionally so the adaptation takes effect simply holding and not spending is great but not for the growth of adaptation or hyperbitcoinization!!!!
