2k I was totally surprised. I thought that multisig was so overdue, but from now I have all in multisig with different vendors.
And the big thing is. It isn't difficult.

My New Year’s wish for 2026 is that Bitcoiners also use their Bitcoin. There is one place where I disagree with Michael Saylor — when he says “never sell your Bitcoin.” I understand what he means, but a Bitcoiner who truly understands what it means to be a Bitcoiner also spends Bitcoin. I agree that there are still not many places in Europe that accept Bitcoin directly. But we do have good tools, like Bringin and Wavecard, that make it possible to use your Bitcoin through Lightning. Stack hard — and spend a little less carefully.
