...and now they make you verify the wallet you want to send the Bitcoin you purchased to. Fuck all of them. Fuckers. Fuck this shit. So fucking mad. Assholes. Fucking spyware bullshit.

This is the one I started out on, years ago. I went back to it because the other ones started doing stuff like this. Okay, now it also does this. Now, I need to find a new one. Again.

And I do so hate that the laptop I was running my Lightning node on died. And then I got another laptop and wanted to run it on there and see if there's some way to resurrect the wallet, but I'm glad I didn't as I appear to have a virus and the whole thing needs to be reset because the network card and the touchpad suddenly turned off, and it's like where's my fucking money and my nerves are just totally shot omg I so hate computers. And all my pitiful little lump of money is in Bitcoin and I keep accidentally losing part of it, or killing the servers, or missing the right recovery keys and every time a phone or laptop dies I lose access to my fucking money and have to buy equipment and dig it out of electronic purgatory and hope I can access it because I sometimes can't because I am too fucking stupid to use Bitcoin, which means, statistically, 99% of humans are too fucking stupid to use Bitcoin and this is why everyone is like, please pay me in dollars.

Yeah. People keep telling me to use this, but it's yet-another piece of software I have to self-host, to use Bitcoin. It's an entire pile of software and servers, growing up to the heavens like a bean stalk, at this point. The self-custody burden was originally just to have one on-chain wallet, but now I feel like I need a Ph.D. in electrical engineering, just to zap someone. I'm just so fed up and I manage and test a gigantic, complex, cloud server, for a living. I have no idea how anyone halfway normal can deal with this constant chaos and stress. Sorry. I guess I'm just ranting, at this point.

Bitcoin.de They're apparently shitcoining, now, too. Used to just be Bitcoin, hence the name. Whole website looks different.

I guess most people don't buy on-chain, anymore, anyway. Probably just DCA in little chunks over Lightning, and then just leave it there. I guess I'm a total Bitcoin dinosaur. With Bitcoin, you have to constantly chase whatever the news is and jump from one tech stack to the next, and I can't keep up. I'm like a digital money nomad. Coinbase, Swan, Muun, Breeze, Sphinx, Ledger, Bitcoin.de, Relai... But Bitcoin isn't my hobby, it's just my money. I shouldn't have to constantly study and reorder everything, just to keep my money. I buy Bitcoin so that I don't have to do that, but it needs attention like a stock portfolio. And there are constantly debates about Bitcoin Core that are terribly important, but just seem like everyone is not speaking English, and I don't get why all of these changes are being added to the software. None of it seems to make Bitcoin work better as money. Now, they be like, you'll need Tor for Bitcoin, in addition to your Lightning node... Anything else? Do I need to learn quantum computing, mechatronics, and astrophysics, next? Well, yeah. Probably. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm hoping the channels all close again, at this point. I'm done running LN on a laptop. We have the one of the remote server and I have Electrum and Phoenix and Minibits on my cellphone and it's enough.

It's been like that, non-stop, for going on five years, now.

I'm trying to move Bitcoin I just bought into cold storage. That's what started the rant.

Although, I also wonder if this isn't meant to slow down people withdrawing their Bitcoin. I bought it, the seller gave it to them, and now I am fretting over the withdrawal process, when I used to get the money off within 5 minutes of the purchase and then figure out what to do with it, after that.

Also means you have to always use the same address or you have to verify multiple addresses.

I use Alby and Phoenix. I prefer on-chain for anything over 100k sats.

LOL Just realized that this would be picked up by nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s's fuck filter. Effective.
