Bitcoin, mining & collectible markets. Baseball cards - Pokémon cards, deals, pulls and price moves. Tracking scarcity, value and hype. Solo miner. Collector.

Bitcoin and collectibles have more in common than people think: scarcity, conviction and plenty of hype. I break down Bitcoin news and mining, plus Pokémon drops, deals, card values and grading decisions. No moon talk. No manufactured FOMO. Just useful research from a solo miner and collector.

2026 Bowman Chrome Baseball goes up for preorder at noon ET today. I’m definitely tempted, but I want to see the price, box configuration and full prospect checklist before checking out. The “1st Bowman” logo is exciting. It doesn’t mean every prospect is going to become a star.

Bitcoin is back around $65K after the July jobs report showed the U.S. actually lost 23,000 jobs. That’s bad economic news, but markets are reading it as less reason for the Fed to raise rates. For now, that’s helping Bitcoin. Wednesday’s inflation report could change the mood pretty quickly. $BTC

Yo coldcard
In 2024, victims came to us with bitcoin missing from Coldcard wallets. No malware, no phishing. We traced it to weak seed entropy and filed reports with the manufacturer and multiple agencies. Two years later: $38M swept in 25 minutes. blockchainunmasked.com/post/…

The Coldcard story keeps getting worse. Galaxy Research now estimates nearly $89M was drained from about 4,500 addresses. Yesterday’s estimate was $70M across 1,196 addresses. The first number after a security breach is rarely the final number. $BTC

I’ve been very quiet on the coldcard hack, but as this situation is unfolding it’s getting harder and harder not to say something. I’ve never used a coldcard – not because I dislike anyone, or because I like someone else better, which seems to be much of the discussion here – but because I felt like coldcard was for very advanced users, and if anything went wrong, I’d be left to myself to clean up the mess. What I find incredibly sad about this situation is that this is exactly what seems to be happening. Who is posting updates on the hacks, which are still ongoing? Block. Galaxy. Developers that have their own projects to worry about, yet they are worrying about coldcard users. Who is helping the affected make sense of what just happened? Everyone I know is busy helping others who lost funds, 24h around the clock. Who is thinking of ways to return funds if the hackers are caught? Literally engineers on X and spaces that have no affiliation to the project. *All of this* should be coldcard’s responsibility. And it makes me incredibly angry. If there is any learning in this imo, it’s not that AI gets better and the script kiddies will get you next. It’s that you should not be building hardware wallets that you sell to people who entrust you with their life savings when you don’t have the team in place to take care of them and make sure that they are safe. Honestly quite speechless at this level of carelessness. Much love to anyone who is affected.

Yesterday this looked like one scary Reddit post. Now Galaxy Research says 1,082 BTC—about $70 million—was swept from nearly 1,200 Coldcard addresses in just 41 minutes. Coinkite has confirmed that affected firmware generated seeds with less randomness than intended. Important: updating the firmware does not fix an old vulnerable seed. A new seed must be created and the Bitcoin moved. This is no longer rumor or FUD.

Someone pulled the 1-of-1 Shohei Ohtani Dual Gold Logoman autograph from a Topps Chrome hobby box and sold it for $11 million. Imagine pulling a redemption card and realizing that little piece of cardboard is worth more than most houses. This is the dream Topps is selling every time we buy another box.

Buh bye coldcard
COLDCARD Mk3 Security Advisory If you generated a seed on a Mk3 after firmware 4.0.1, your funds may be at risk. Mk4, Q and Mk5 are not affected based on our early analysis. Read the advisory and migrate carefully: blog.coinkite.com/coldcard-m…
