How the Bitcoin Hardware Store was born #podcast #bitcoin #realwaystomakemoneyfromhome

there was nowhere that I could go to go pick up a wallet or pick up a node or grab a miner. And I said to myself, man, you know, I, I, after I finished Ryerson, I started working with a company called Sherwin-Williams, and they're one of the largest retail brands in the world for, at least for paint-wise. And I said to myself, it'd be really cool if there was an experience, you know, most people don't know about paint and they don't really care. They grab the bucket, they put it on the wall, and that's it. That's as much as they need to know. But I know a lot about paint, unfortunately. And, you know, being at a Sherwin-Williams store, when people would come in and ask me, you know, what kind of paint, what color paint should I get, I'd start asking them questions. Well, like, what kind of wall do you have? What kind of prep are you going to be doing? Is the wall currently painted? And it was those similar questions that I saw a lot of people new to Bitcoin make, you know, like where do I store my Bitcoin, how do I use the network, where do I buy my Bitcoin. And all those answers vary on where you live, on, you know, what— do you want a single sig, do you want a multi-sig, how comfortable are you with using a laptop versus a phone. These are different, these are different ways of using the network. And so there is no one solution that fits all. So that's where the idea of the Bitcoin Hardware Store came from, is, is there a place that exists where answers, you know, questions can be answered in a very personal way
