She is definitely my favorite famous insane person, even if she is highly racist and prejudiced against pretty much everyone that isn't her (to the point where it seems like everyone is equally trash to her). I remember I tried summarizing some of her top antics to my zoomer niece, and at some point I was like "wait, there's a lot more."

However, this is the first time I've heard about the Elon thing. That owns that she immediately put that dude on blast and shamed him for it.

I looked at her wiki and you are not exaggerating.

LMAO, zomg so decentralized and anonymous, really the future of finance.

That's what you get for keeping your money on an exchange.

You should be hammering it onto a steel plate instead, idiot:

many have said it once, and i will say it again...HAMMER YOUR HARDWARE WALLET SEEDS ONTO A STEEL PLATE!

quote:

ok congrats. you now sucked it up and bought a hardware wallet (i recommend Ledger Nano X). it finally sunk through your thick skull that keeping your seeds offline and secure at all times is the way to go. but now you have a new adversary: the elements. rust, fire, water, corrosion, physical wear and tear. and you realize paper isnt gonna cut it. paper rots. paper burns. paper rips. ink fades. ink smears. bugs eat paper. paper gone? seeds gone. so gently caress paper, put your seeds on an encrypted USB, right? well they break too, and they burn too.

so forget paper, take the extra effort and go with stainless steel!

things you need:

1x: 100mm x 100mm stainless steel plate, 3mm thick. this is where you will hammer your seed phrases. you do not want it thinner because it will be less heat resistant and the letters wont come out as clear.

1x: 100mm x 100mm stainless steel plate, 1.5mm thick. this will serve as a cover plate.

1x: 3mm letter punch set

1x: 3mm number punch set

1x: small hammer

1x: punch holder (optional but i recommend it)

a drill or drill press with a drill bit (i used 5/16)

some screws and nuts

tape

optional: red Loctite

now hammer your seeds on the 3mm thick plate. take your time. practice on scrap metal if you have to. with the punch holder (the blue thing) you can set and align it before giving it a nice solid WHACK, straight down with the hammer. do it slow, pace yourself, take your time. and try to make everything as close to center as possible. this is why i like the 100mmx100mm plate, leaves plenty of space and room for error just in case.

once youre done, put the thinner plate on top, secure it (with clams and tape!) and drill a hole through both in each corner. a drill press is recommended. (i used a 5/16 drill bit to make the holes). put the appropriate size nuts and screws and tighten. if you want, you can put red Loctite on the screws so youll need a blowtorch to unscrew it. (red loctite is the poo poo)

then tape it. this will serve as your el cheapo "tamper proof" tape. but with red loctite, you probably wont need it, because red loctite is strong as gently caress

and now you have your seeds (aka YOUR MONEY) on a rustproof fireproof corrosion proof medium.

now where to hide? up to you. but someone here likes to put theirs in a boulder. and i like that too.

last step: reward yourself with your favorite drink, knowing your seeds are safe.

total cost for all this: $25. it wont be as pretty as the retail metal plates. but drat it does the job and its cheaper. and youll have the tools to make more if you need, and youll only have to but the metal plates.

cheers

Currency of the future!

Alternate idea: go to the pet store and type your crap into the kiosk that laser engraves dog tags. It's easier, cheaper, smaller, and as a bonus it'll be in the shape of a bone when you're done!

Pro strat: just hide it in plain sight on your pet's collar. Have you ever read the tag on someone else's dog? Dog runs away? Getting it back is more important than your buttcoins anyway. Don't have a dog? What are you doing with your life? Have a cat instead? Same applies. Cats are cool too.

Or scratch poo poo into a strip of aluminum. Or get a bunch of Ti rings off Amazon with free engraving and wear them everywhere and when you are murdered because you endlessly talk about crypto and have pushed someone over the edge at a party the true crime podcasts will obsess about the meaning behind the random poo poo on the inside of your rings.

Let's all remember the good times we had with Radioshack.

They used to be legit up until the late 70's/early 80's and then they started firing all the knowledgable staff who actually knew stuff and would help you, raising prices, various VIP drama, and replacing the good staff with know-nothing schlubs who just pushed whatever they were told to.

I can't believe they held on as long as they did but watching them go to pieces the way they did was just awful. In some ways worse than watching Frys fall apart.
