If it doesn’t have in app unilateral exit, it’s custodial, period. This is not negotiable. If something is not implemented then it simply doesn’t exist for the average user. 99.99999% of Spark users don’t even know a CLI app exists let alone how to use it. Without local caching and unilateral exit actually implemented in the app and having hard dependency on operator cooperation to exit then it’s custodial. Listen I actually like Spark and think it makes reasonable tradeoffs in a world without covenants, but as it stands it’s a custodial product. Happy to revise this once we see an actual implementation of unilateral exit and more operators and LSPs, but it’s just the honest reality today.

Mid and upper models of Flair Espresso maker are plastic free in the brewing areas and around $400-500. Tradeoff is it’s manual but that is just more proof of work. Pair with a metal hot water kettle and you’re all set.

"I'm not techy, but I'm morally aligned with bitcoin / freedom tech." this is the quote of the year! @npub1ahe2832lq… great interview... Another thing that thar the interviewer doesn't get is how easy it is to verify identy is using the network affect, plus verifying the public key (npub) for instance if you have a friend you know and trust and they are following someone you can see that person is real. If you have hundreds or thousands following then you can assume that is verified. Most fake ones will have very few followers. Hope this helps.

You definitely can verify your seed words on a Ledger. You download a specific app from Ledger Live and that allows you to verify your backup.

What is the use case for Arca versus an Umbrel? Umbrel for picture and non sensitive storage and Arca can save highly sensitive items like passwords or seeds?

    As a licensed life insurance agent and Infinite Banking Practitioner since 2015 this idea sounds Amazing, but... What are the downsides? This company is based in Bermuda, what protections against getting rugged do you have? Life insurance in the US is governed by each state regulations. All life insurance companies pay into Guaranty Associations that give protections. Secondly, the life insurance companies that I work with have a 150 year track record and many over 100 years of paying dividends to policy holders. Lastly, when paying life insurance premium using bitcoin, that will be considered a cap gain event since you are selling your bitcoin to the company. Yes the payout is tax free, but I believe in the US, and bitcoin transfers that are not to your own wallet are taxable. There is a lot more to this, than what was presented. As much as I'd like to use some bitcoin to put into this. I'm not there yet. Your mileage may very. I'd rather hold my own keys, buy traditional life insurance using fiat that I can then leverage using the policy loan provisions into other assets or investments. My mentor in the Infinite Banking Concept has done some talks about how whole life insurance can keep up with inflation. Maybe look into The Infinite Banking Concept for your fiat and keep your bitcoin in your own control. Not your keys not your coin. Feel free to reach out to discuss. Dynastywealthpartners.com
