Undoubtedly screens will be a primary interface our 3yo daughter will use for the rest of her life in pursuit of knowledge, career, and play. My focus isn't limiting her time but on the transitions. Can we move in and out of screen time gracefully? Does she cling to screens?

Taking Children Seriously

Today, parents worry about their children’s ‘screen time’. In the past, the worry was about the time spent reading books. 📚 Here is William Cobbett (1829) giving a dire warning about the results of not coercively preventing children spending a lot of time reading books. 😳

7/ The only certainties in #bitcoin exist at the protocol level, thanks to hard cryptography and a robust network of miners & nodes. New financial institutions shouldn't cover these properties with misleading promises but instead do everything they can to expose them to clients.

You can't make this stuff up. This timeline is beyond twisted. Certainly didn't see a banking license in the cards when we set out on this mission 9 years ago. We have come full circle, crypto. Looking forward to banking you all and banning the accounts of sketchy fiat peddlers.

One of the most impressive things about #bitcoin is that it's possible to make charts like this. HODL waves will continue to be one of the most fundamental datasets for understanding the asset.

Why keep your IRA #bitcoin at someone else's fortress, when you can hold the keys to your own citadel?

If you have #bitcoin in your IRA, make sure your custodian actually has your bitcoin. At you get to hold the keys so this is never an issue. For a limited time, use promo code "CITADEL" to get $100 off a new IRA account.
