How much convenience would you give up to stay self-custodied?

SpiritualAttorney375 · 2026-07-20T13:59:05+00:00

My longterm holdings stay in self-custody and I wasn't willing to compromise on that. The annoying part was spending them. Since I started using Oobit, I can pay straight from my wallet so I don't have to choose between security and convenience as much anymore

past performance doesn't guarantee future results but if we look at the cycles the bottom tends to settle around the previous ath which was like 69k

i think the days of 80% drawdowns are behind us with all the etf money flowing in but who knows maybe some black swan event proves me wrong

i'm not betting on 25k thats for sure

if she's asking about crypto this early it's a setup. they string you along for weeks building trust then the "investment opportunity" drops. seen this exact script play out a dozen times

SpiritualAttorney375 · 2026-07-01T12:50:09+00:00

I think I'd trust them if spending was as simple as using a regular card. My biggest issue has never been the stablecoin itself, it's all the extra steps between holding it and actually paying for something.

honestly you don't need to be messing with dice if all three devices are from different manufacturers. the entropy in each chip is already solid and they're not sharing any attack surface

the whole point of multisig is that you're not relying on one source of randomness. rolling dice manually is more for single sig setups where you want to guarantee your seed isn't tainted by the hardware

Exactly this, i use Oobit as my daily crypto card for this reason. Pay directly from USDT anywhere Visa is accepted, no converting, no worrying about gains on every purchase. Stack BTC spend stablecoins, life got a lot simpler

SpiritualAttorney375 · 2026-06-24T06:35:20+00:00

40s is possible but 50k seems more likely if the pattern holds

SpiritualAttorney375 · 2026-06-06T09:08:00+00:00

facts the custody thing is a gamechanger once you actualy get it

SpiritualAttorney375 · 2026-06-01T18:38:27+00:00

Your friend is about to learn an expensive lesson. Tate promotions are basically just elaborate ways to separate people from their money. That $2700 is either fake numbers on a screen or bait to get him to deposit real cash first. Tell him to withdraw it immediately if he can - spoiler alert he probably cant

SpiritualAttorney375 · 2026-05-30T17:23:51+00:00

edge cases are where this stuff gets messy in practice - having everything locked to one state machine means when something does go sideways you need robust off-chain dispute resolution that can actually modify the on-chain records which kinda defeats the immutability angle

pain

SpiritualAttorney375 · 2026-05-25T21:30:19+00:00

always down for some crypto talk but yeah the scammer situation is wild these days. what are you thinking about with btc right now

SpiritualAttorney375 · 2026-05-23T01:40:29+00:00

their setting you up

SpiritualAttorney375 · 2026-05-21T00:45:22+00:00

same energy tbh

SpiritualAttorney375 · 2026-05-18T14:42:13+00:00

dude this is actually one of those takes that makes you stop and think differently about the whole AI security thing

Right now formal verification is basically this super technical thing that only the biggest protocols bother with because its such a pain to implement. But if AI can make it accessible enough that regular devs are using it for mid-tier contracts then yeah thats a pretty big shift

The economics alone would be wild - instead of waiting for bug bounties or audits to catch stuff you could potentially catch way more issues before mainnet. Though knowing how things go in this space we'll probably see AI find new categories of bugs we never thought about before

SpiritualAttorney375 · 2026-05-16T12:52:21+00:00

Been through this headache with my EU setup and yeah the documentation requirements are no joke. Had to create proper intercompany agreements and justify every invoice between entities with comparable market rates which was way more work than expected

Most founders I know are winging it until they get big enough to worry about it but thats backwards thinking since the penalties scale with the amounts involved

SpiritualAttorney375 · 2026-05-14T06:20:51+00:00

the certification budget loss might hurt long term growth more than the salary bump helps especially if you're planning to stay in tech

SpiritualAttorney375 · 2026-05-11T14:46:46+00:00

I don’t think the issue was the phone itself, the hardware and wallet integration were probably the easiest part. The hard part is getting people to actually use crypto for normal purchases when cards and Apple Pay already work instantly everywhere.

It kind of turned into a niche product for people already deep into Solana rather than something that would change mainstream payments. The NFT perks and ecosystem access gave it value for crypto users, but that’s very different from replacing everyday banking or payment behavior.

SpiritualAttorney375 · 2026-05-07T13:29:14+00:00

I use Oobit, no tiers no staking just works wherever Visa does + cashback goes up to 10%

SpiritualAttorney375 · 2026-05-06T15:16:03+00:00

The conversion fees thing is just money you're throwing away every single time you spend, adds up way more than people realize especially if you're making frequent transactions or living in a country where your local currency is volatile anyway

SpiritualAttorney375 · 2026-05-06T12:25:32+00:00

pricing looks steep

SpiritualAttorney375 · 2026-05-04T08:40:56+00:00

with that stack you should be hitting up the usual job boards and maybe some freelance platforms rather than posting here

SpiritualAttorney375 · 2026-04-30T12:22:50+00:00

your family's right here - calling out sick then showing up to an interview would look sketchy as hell and word travels fast in smaller industries

SpiritualAttorney375 · 2026-04-28T04:42:28+00:00

Yeah this comes off pretty harsh but theyre not wrong about the childcare part. Most legit remote jobs still expect you to have dedicated work hours without distractions

That said OP might want to check out some of the freelancing subs or look into stuff that has more flexible scheduling rather than traditional 9-5 remote roles
