Yields down
I know it doesn’t feel like it right now but this will be positive risk
To pepper this further, I am expecting yields to come down in the short term. Which eases financial conditions and should give Bitcoin and risk assets the rally I am looking for.
But ultimately we are looking at a Bond market, that could tank again, push yields up, and yank the rest of the market down

Good news: the Bitcoin Wrench Attack archive just got a lot more accurate.
Bad news: we just doubled the total number of known attacks to over 700.
Kudos to @pizza_bitcoiner for finding hundreds of new attack reports via agentic searches.

I faintly remembered reading something like this when I set up my Ledger years ago. So I dug up the box, and sure enough, it was in there. Pretty embarassing, @Ledger, in light of the recent events 😬

LEDGER SUPPLY CHAIN ATTACK REPORTEDLY EXTENDS TO EUROPE
@0xJohannes_ reports that a Ledger hardware wallet purchased just weeks ago from an official European reseller was found to contain an unauthorized spy implant.
The device contained suspicious internal wiring not found in genuine Ledger hardware, suggesting someone physically tampered with it before selling it.
The implant also appears to be an older design. Newer versions reportedly hide components behind the screen, making them harder to detect.
Interestingly, no funds were stolen from this particular device, raising questions about whether the implant malfunctioned or attackers were waiting to compromise more users.
With suspected cases now reported in Asia, South America, and Europe, concerns are growing about the geographic reach of the supply chain attack.
Ledger’s software Genuine Check cannot detect unauthorized physical modifications if the original secure element remains intact.

European banks often block transfers to Bitcoin exchanges.
That’s why we offer Confidential SEPA.
You send euros to an IBAN in your own name, so your bank sees a transfer to yourself rather than to a Bitcoin exchange 🕵️♂️
Now available on Bull Bitcoin for SEPA transfers.
My Swiss bank blocked my attempt to buy CHF 1,000 of Bitcoin.
Reason? "For your protection. Transactions involving cryptocurrencies carry significant risks, and we’re unable to process this payment."
The same bank is perfectly happy to offer credit cards charging around 12% interest and other forms of consumer debt.
So risking CHF 1,000 of my own money is considered irresponsible...
…but taking on tens of thousands of francs in interest-bearing debt is a perfectly acceptable financial decision.
Interesting how "protecting customers" seems to depend on which financial product you're choosing. 🤡🌍
