When learning about self custody rather than moving small amounts of actual Bitcoin consider using testnet. I always use testnet when i'm trying something new like using a new hardware wallet or testing a new multisig scheme. With testnet there is zero risk of accidentally sending your precious Bitcoin into the void. I always look forward to the Bitcoin Dad Pod. Keep up the good work!

How bullish are you guys on Nostr? A permissionless and censorship-resistant public communication protocol was missing and is now here and usable. Any thoughts? iris.to, snort.social (both PWA) and amethyst work well on Android while Damus seems to be the go to client on iOS.

I've yet to get through your back catalogue so apologies if this has been talked about before. What's the story behind the BTC lawnmower art? Did you accidently lose your Bitcoin by running over your laptop and now the IRS can't tax you for capital gains 🤣

Please, do not even consider Bitcoin as a retirement strategy. It is a highly dubious, volatile, and dangerous proposition.
