![Read_694 - Locked Out of My Digital Life [edent]](/images/fallback-image.png)
Show Notes
Today we read a story told from the perspective of someone who's entire life changed by the strike of lightning, and suddenly they were locked out of everything. A great short read to start thinking about the failure modes of our security setup, and which definitely got me to reconsider a couple of elements of my own system. With more and more of our value digital, this is increasingly important.

There's a correlation between the likelihood of overcomplicating your setup leading to loss of funds and the midwit curve. The essay should be titled - Why Bitcoin Elite loses their funds. In hindsight, it all correlates with the lack of humility.

I love the washer idea. I got me a jig from cryptocloaks.com after hearing you talk about it.

~33-35 min in you talked about stamping seed words into washers.
i am a proud owner of one seed jig from Alex Flood of seedjig.com -- only accepts bitcoin. this thing is BEAUTIFUL and pretty much industructible.
the BEST thing i like about this method is the scalability. no more scimping on which wallets to backup. uncle jim'ing someone costs a couple of dollars in washers. can source washers everywhere. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

“I got a college degree. A college degree in what? General. Oh so you took high school 2.0 and you have none of the relevant skills to be a productive person…”. 🤣😂🤣 Your rants are epic! Intro music bumped to 1.5x gets me every time, too. 😎

What is "RAD"? Back in my time it stood for rapids application development.

Great listen! I need to update my security measures, but this scenario wouldn’t affect listeners to The Survival Podcast all that much. Especially, if they do what Jack says, and build in triple redundancy. Thanks!
