Recently a big snafu was made about changes to the BIP 85 repository. For those not familiar with the BIP, it’s a very simple scheme to allow generating new word seeds from a derivation path in a pre-existing word seed that you have. The logic of the BIP is to enable people who utilize multiple wallets to manage the chaos of having to maintain individual isolated backups for numerous wallets. By generating new seeds based on the entropy of a derivation path, users can simply make a single backup of one “master” word seed, and from there be able to…

The smell of fall in the air, this weekend I indulged in apple delicacies, watched the changing leaves, and oh yeah, traveled to make sure my Bitcoin custody is up to date… If you follow me on X, you know that I hold Bitcoin with Casa, a multisig security provider, and that I use the service to manage a few different multisig vaults for various purposes.This requires keeping a number of keys and wallets up to date, and since I don’t keep any key materials at home, it requires some degree of routine and dedication. I’ve self-custodied my Bitcoin since 2020, and…

Alfred Lin doesn’t just accept contradictions; he searches for answers within them. Less than five minutes after sitting down, he and I are talking about examining contradictory ideas simultaneously. It’s a framework F. Scott Fitzgerald famously wrote about in 1936: “The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function.” And Lin, who just celebrated his 14th year at Sequoia Capital, thinks there are practical reasons to consider extremes.  “The thing about holding things in tension, in extreme tension, is that the…
