- The privacy that coins like Monero give far outweighs all the illegal uses of it, everyone has a right to privacy that shouldn't be taken away
- One of the advantages of blockchain is that we can roughly calculate how much money went into scams involving cryptocurrencies, because everything is on the public blockchain. Can the same be said for taxe evasion, bribery, corruption, drug trafficking, and other stuff that don't involve crypto?

Friendly reminder: never keep your seed together with your device, it makes it useless
Prob talked about it unfortunately. She knew enough to go looking for the hardware wallet + seed. Everything else she took was just extras. Physical altercations almost always involve prior knowledge of the victim's possessions..

BIP39 writing prompt (for mnemonic retention)
With Christmas coming around and the bull market upon us, I thought it would be a good time to remind everyone one about the art of mnemonic memorization. The idea is you take a BIP39 seed, then make a poem, story, limerick, or song using the words to help you remember. If you gift bitcoin, you can include the writing with the seed-card you provide to help the recipient remember as well. If you want to play along, go to Ian's BIP39 page and generate a valid seed mnemonic then see if you can't create a blurb of text that includes all the words.

My Way of Giving Back to the Community!
As I learned how to build websites, I wanted to use my new skill to help the crypto community in any way I can. So, I made a wallet generator website. It's like iancoleman BIP39, but with a nicer and more user-friendly design inspired by Tornado Cash, a simple way to make wallets from files/images, and support for Monero!
