It's **okay**; my **giant** **tool** looks like a **train**, but after I **shoot** into your tiny **circle**, you'll ask for a **donor** to **flock** to **develop** a **shield**. After all, you're going to call me your **chief** because it'll smell like **salmon**, and you'll never forget me.

What’s the best strategy to buy peer-to-peer Bitcoin?

I contact the P2P through SimpleX Chat and ask them to send a voice message (since I'm already familiar with their voice from elsewhere) to confirm their identity. I receive a PDF with a bank invoice to print, and I pay in cash using it at an ATM. Once they verify the payment, I send them my address to receive it. Right now, I'm considering using PGP keys, but I'm still reading up on them. And of course, all of it without KYC requirements.


### **A temporary medium for storing mnemonic words in order to evade physical attackers.**

BIP-39 words are composed of 11 bits per word. Each 0 and 1 is represented by a half note and a quarter note, respectively. You may need to fill the remaining portion of the measure with rests or tie two quarter notes to form a half note. Some examples are shown below:

The chose time signature is 4/4, meaning four quarter-note beats per measure. Additionally, a half rest can be used to fill the first two beats of the first measure. Binary numbers are read from the right to the left.

Each tied quarter note represents a zero. In this case, a quarter rest was used because the 11 bits were already written and the measure still needed to be filled.

The first beat of the first measure is shown as a dotted half rest. This should be self-explanatory based on the first example, but with quarter notes replacing half notes, and the second half of the last measure filled with a half rest.

You don’t need specific software for this if you're not a musician—just blank paper and a pen will do. Focus more on the time signature, the half note, the quarter note (and their respective rests). The other symbols, like the percussion clef (which I couldn't remove), the horizontal line, and the double bar at the end, are not mandatory.

The passphrase can also be included in the sheet music; however, each character must be converted to binary using an ASCII table or a conversion tool. Just remember what 0 and 1 correspond to in your notation.

For simplicity’s sake, this post isn’t intended exclusively for musicians, although they may find creative ways to increase its complexity.

Given the variety of existing interpretations, the issue of purchasing power — especially its long-term behavior — often lacks a clear and objective mathematical formulation, which is addressed by proposing a model that represents its evolution under such a scenario. The purchasing power of fiat currency is defined here as the quotient between base and quantity, under the assumption of a constant base and an indefinitely expanding quantity over time.

lim Q → ∞ (B / Q) = 0, where B = ε ≪ 1

Does this asymptotic behavior make sense, given that B is a fixed, small value and Q grows without bound?
