Bitcoin has come a long way from the days where users could mine Bitcoin on their laptops.
Today it's a global network that secures trillions in value. Yet, only 23,000 people care enough about it to run a node.
Weird, isn't it?

Recording your seed phrase on metal is a good idea because it won't burn, it's less likely to get tossed out, and it won't dissolve in water.
Recording your seed phrase on metal that's easy to hide is a good idea because it's easy to hide. 😘

In 2015, there were a few hundred thousand Bitcoin users. Today it's over 40 million.
There is no reason that, out of 40 million users, we can't convince 1/40th of them to run a full node.
1M nodes make Bitcoin attack-proof. It's worth the effort. 💪

Running a node isn't rocket surgery.
And, if you're into gambling, running a full node on a @FutureBit home miner can scratch that itch too.
Roll the dice for a chance at 3.125 BTC every 10 minutes & defend the network that makes it possible in one swing!

If you keep your Bitcoin on Coinbase, you are giving control of the most valuable property ever conceived by man to a human thumb.
Don't make it easy for fiat bros to squander your wealth. Self-custody is 🔑
Certainly don't leave it up to this dood 👇

Bitcoin is a bearer instrument.
He who holds the keys bears the instrument, e.g., not your keys, not your Bitcoin.
Best keep those keys safe anon. 😎

At MicroSeed, we believe it is better to have and not need than need and not have.
You might never need to smuggle your seed phrase while under intense physical scrutiny.
But, with MicroSeed you have the option.

Bitcoin’s Lightning Network lets you send BTC instantly for pennies.
It’s great for txns, but software wallets aren't for keeping large amounts of Bitcoin.
Self-custody in cold storage is the way to do that job.

Satoshi didn't know that miners & nodes would be separate.
ASICs, economies of scale & Bitcoin's price changed that. Today, non-mining nodes validate transactions & enforce consensus rules.
Bitcoin won't work without them. Run a node.

Safely storing your Bitcoin seed phrase is a baseline security measure.
Protecting it from unwanted access and environmental destruction are cornerstones.
MicroSeed helps you do both. 24-words, one titanium washer, unlimited options.

If you have to choose between buying a MicroSeed to store your seed phrase or running a Bitcoin node, PLEASE run a node.
There are a ton of ways to reliably back up your seed phrase.
Running a node defends the most important economic shift in human history.

Self-custody is self-sovereignty.
Bitcoin is property you can own, but can't be taken from you.
It's really easy to take if someone else holds the keys.

Don't trust, verify. It's not a platitude. It means exactly what it says.
Bitcoin is a zero-trust, egalitarian access network. That's a big reason why it's so cool.
Stack some sats and touch some grass.

With MicroSeed, you can safely store your seed phrase anywhere a 1" washer can go.
Pro tip: If you bolt it to something big, like in the back of your stove, it will also be easy to find if your house burns down.
Also, we hope your house doesn't burn down. 🧡

Satoshi shared a draft of the Bitcoin whitepaper with cypherpunks in 2008, months before its official release.
Sometimes it's good to remember what those cypherpunks were all about👇

Minimize risk of loss & maximize safe recovery. That's seed phrase back-up 101. Ideally, your backup will:
1. Resist environmental damage (fire, flood, crush)
2. Be easy to hide and/or obscure, and
3. Be easy to make multiple backups

A 12-word seed phrase offers 2^128 combinations—more than atoms in the universe!
MicroSeed lets you engrave this power in steel or titanium the size of a quarter.
Pretty dope, right?

Don't trust, verify.
Words to live by, especially if you're a Bitcoiner. Yet many still trust exchanges to hold their precious sats.
Self-custody is taking sovereign ownership of property that can't be taken from you, only given up.
It's kind of a big deal king 👑

Can you get your seed phrase after a fire? A natural disaster? Across a hostile border?
Never say never. Just because it's not likely doesn't mean it can't happen or that it can be ignored.
You don't have to be a lunatic about it. But it pays to prepare.

You OWN Bitcoin if you have it in self-custody. You are OWED Bitcoin if it's on an exchange.
If you loan someone your Bitcoin, they can default. If they do, you own NOTHING.
Get it?

The natural evolution of a fiat system is that it becomes harder and harder to save for the future.
Bitcoin fixes this.
If you're young and just getting started on your adult journey, Bitcoin is the most important savings tech to learn.

Money is for the sovereign to extract value from you. The sovereign is sovereign because of its ability to capture, hold & exclude others from property.
Bitcoin makes YOU sovereign because you can capture it, hold it & exclude others from it.

Don't trust, verify, and once verified, double check.
Verify your verification! Social engineers trick smart people all the time. No one is immune.
Be safe. Go slow. Check your assumptions. Then check again.

In every country on planet earth, you cannot OWN property.
You have TITLE to property. The state can REVOKE that title ANY TIME they want.
You can OWN Bitcoin. See the difference?

How you keep your Bitcoin seed-phrase safe is probably one of the most important things you need to consider.
It should resist the environment, it should resist casual observation and it should be easy to duplicate and distribute.

The Bitcoin network grows with every new hodlr and every new transaction.
But for Bitcoin to retain the properties that make it valuable, it requires participation from the people that hodl it and use it.
Keep it decentralized. Run a node.

Don't buy into this LIE. Unfortunately, many will. Bitcoin is the ONLY valuable thing on earth that you can truly own.
That is POWER.
Everything else can be taken from you. Don't give your power to a Wall St bro. Take self-custody.

We get it. You spent all that time figuring out how to set up a wallet and moving your funds into cold storage.
Now you're tired, your seed phrase is on a piece of paper, so you just stick it in a drawer somewhere.
MicroSeed fixes this.

Take self-custody of your Bitcoin.
Move it to cold storage.
Back up your seed phrase on something durable (like a titanium washer maybe? 😘)
Then spin up a node. Bitcoin is quite literally the easiest revolution in the history of revolutions. Do your part.

Storing your seed phrase on paper is a huge risk.
Paper burns. Paper fades. Paper gets thrown out.
Pro-Tip: Titanium washers don't burn or fade and you can bolt them to things that are hard to accidentally throw out...like your engine block 😎

It's easy to deprioritize your Bitcoin self-custody setup.
"I'll get to it" becomes "It never got done."
Easy to do and completely painless until something happens.

Backing up your seed phrase has never been easier.
In less than 20 minutes, MicroSeed lets you engrave your entire 24-word seed phrase on durable titanium or stainless steel the size of a coin.

People love to read tea leaves to guess what the fiat cuckbuck price of Bitcoin will do next.
Bitcoin is the first valuable thing in history that can't be taken from you. Compared to that, the cuckbuck price doesn't mean sh*t.
Stay humble. Stack sats.

We think it's better to have and not need than need and not have.
That's why MicroSeed gives you options for readily available stainless steel you can get at any hardware store, durable titanium and even nylon for deep security.
MicroSeed = options

People used to think Bitcoin transactions were anonymous. A researcher from UCSD blew that idea up over a decade ago.
Once an address is linked to your identity, anonymity is gone. Treat txns like they're watched.
Use fresh addresses & txn privacy tools.

In ten years, the price you got your Bitcoin at won't matter nearly as much as the fact you bought it.
But 50 sats that says you will wish you had bought more Bitcoin instead of whatever fiat thing you thought was more important.

Never share your Bitcoin private keys or seed phrase. There is no “tech support.”
Scammers often pose as trusted services to steal your BTC and they're getting sneakier every day!
Don't trust, verify!

Backing up your Bitcoin seed phrase on something durable like titanium is a no-brainer.
Paper is too fragile and digital is high risk for unwanted access or loss.
MicroSeed gives you titanium security in a micro-form factor. Safe to store, easy to hide.

Every time the Bitcoin fiat cuckbuck price wobbles around, the pundits come out in force.
It's all noise at the end of the day. More people selling than buying is the only "why" you need.
Up and to the right is the long-term trend. Keep that in mind.

Bitcoin’s halvings cut block rewards every 4 years. There's only ~2M BTC left to mine! And, there's another few million that are lost forever.
If you own accessible Bitcoin in self-custody, you're going to be a very rare person in the near future.

As Bitcoin gets more and more integrated with the legacy financial system, more and more frictions to self-custody will be put in place.
Take self-custody. Control your own asset. Control your own destiny.

Taking self-custody doesn't have to be intimidating. And the benefits you will realize go far beyond just "being your own bank."
The second and third order rewards of true freedom and self-sovereignty are hard to compare.
@Thebitcoinway_ can show you how!

Bitcoin transactions are pseudonymous, not anonymous.
Your wallet address can be traced, which is not great if it gets linked to your identity.
Always use a fresh address when transacting on-chain!

The best outcome for the state is to take everything from you except what you absolutely need to survive.

What is convenient is rarely secure.
What is secure is rarely convenient.
The lock on your front door is convenient.
It's also insecure.
MicroSeed is secure because it's obscure.
Convenient for you, but inconvenient for an adversary. 😎

The economic flow and perception layer of Bitcoin matter. Most people’s exposure is via custodians (CEXs) or derivatives (ETFs).
It's vitally important the network layer be dominant over the economic and perception layers.
It's not. Run a node.

Running a node is more than being able to verify your txns. Every node provides a "nudge" effect via choice of software implementation.
Right now, exchanges and miners have an outsize influence on that "nudge."
Get your nudge on! Run a node. 🧡😘

Never type, photograph, or store a seed phrase on any digital device, including encrypted drives or cloud storage.
They can be exploited by a range of options.
Always use air-gapped hardware and physical backups to eliminate digital attack surfaces! 👇

Still have your Bitcoin on an exchange?

Bitcoin is a very valuable thing. If it stays decentralized, permissionless and secure, that will continue to be true.
If that's true, then:
1. You should run a node to make sure it stays decentralized
2. Checking the price every day is a waste of time. 😉🧡

Bitcoin was mined into existence.
It became valuable due to market forces.
Shitcoins are coded into existence.
They transfer money to VCs through marketing.

There's a reason the largest asset managers in the world are stacking Bitcoin and it's not because they hate the Fed.
Bitcoin is the most revolutionary monetary asset in history. They might not fully realize that yet.
