I've been using Ledger devices for many years, and the recent discoveries of hardware implants haven't changed my trust in them. If anything, they've reinforced something I strongly believe in: you should be able to inspect the hardware you entrust with your Bitcoin. Bitcoin was built around a simple principle: don't trust, verify. That principle shouldn't stop at software or cryptography. It should extend to the physical devices holding our keys. Sealed or tamper-evident designs are perfectly fine, as long as they're transparent and don't prevent independent inspection. Ledger devices are relatively easy to open and examine. That's one of the reasons these malicious implants could be discovered and investigated. No hardware wallet is immune to supply-chain attacks. But security shouldn't depend entirely on trusting the manufacturer or distributor. Physical inspection isn't a guarantee of security, but it's an essential part of being able to verify what you're actually using. Trust comes from the ability to verify, not from being told something is secure.

Backpack tokenized shares are real stocks, not debt securities. Most others are!

People are so used to scams that when an honest token design stares them straight in the face they get confused. Literally just use the product.

Backpack Stocks on SOL 45x better execution vs Robinhood chain. Big pipe of liquidity is now flowing from NASDAQ onto Solana. Retweet if you love Backpack stocks on Solana

Backpack is my highest conviction in crypto

wen @apple wallet?

On this day, one year ago, Bitcoin hit its ATH of $126,000.

Fwiw, you can better appreciate the FDV by studying the tokenomics. It's pretty unique because there's no traditional unlocks.

If you haven't noticed, @Backpack has been crushing. It's a CEX that runs like a blockchain, allowing for real time proof of reserves, as well as a nativity and fluidity between the TradFi and onchain worlds that's unmatched. Advantage appears small now, but will compound. Stats:

i like Backpack’s positioning around tokenized stocks on SOL they took the slower route early, building out the exchange, compliance and regulatory infrastructure before pushing deeper onchain that foundation matters more as tokenized equities start scaling, especially when users want a tighter connection between onchain assets and the underlying stocks if tokenized stocks keep gaining traction on SOL, Backpack is one of the platforms i’m watching closely

JUST IN: 🇨🇳 China's top intelligence agency warns anonymity in crypto is a "false proposition" and an "illusion." China's Ministry of State Security says foreign intelligence agencies use the "illusion" of crypto anonymity to trick citizens into espionage recruitment, claiming crypto is untraceable. China says blockchain transactions leave a permanent digital trail, and converting between fiat and crypto makes it easy to expose people's identities.

Solana surpasses RH chain in tokenized equity volumes.

It's not just a wave. It's a tsunami.

Armani Ferrante, CEO of Backpack, on what comes next for tokenized stocks. "Not 10 stocks, not 100 stocks. We want to bring the entire stock market to Solana. One API where a real share, by any definition of the term, moves back and forth between your brokerage account and DeFi. Going from 200 symbols to 10,000 is the next leap." @armaniferrante @Backpack
