For those of you who signed up recently, welcome to the Crowd!
Just curious, how long did the sign up process take?

Recent reports describe modified Ledger devices that captured seed phrases as they were sent to the screen.
Learn why Bitkey’s seedless design leaves no recovery words for this attack to capture, and how separately held keys help protect your bitcoin.

We've built internal tools to quickly gather pertinent economic data from sources that are pretty clunky and laborious to access.
We've opened them up to everyone via the TFTC MCP. Give it to your agent and have access to the data directly via a single prompt or cron job.
The 20-year goes off today. 5-year TIPS tomorrow. 2s, 5s and 7s next week.
Plug TFTC's free MCP into Claude, ChatGPT or Hermes and ask how each one graded: bid-to-cover, indirects and dealer takedown vs. the last six, with Treasury's results linked.

Anthropic's $80.7B loss has people freaking out. ~$72B is a non-cash charge on convertible notes.
Who's actually paying? Ramp: 1% of firms make up 80% of business AI spend. Mostly VC-backed.
AI companies have a revenue quality problem.

Amazon's cloud CFO to its AI infrastructure boss: "You've taken us free cash flow negative as a company, so congratulations."
$220B of spend this year. Nvidia racks in warehouses waiting on power.
Miners lived this in 2021. The waiting didn't kill them. The debt did.

Bitcoin Red Team is just the canary in the coal mine. If you haven't been paying attention, the cybersecurity world has been forced to play an entirely new game.
"I know of a bunch of companies that have daily Red Team AI agents running." @MartyBent
"Attacking with these LLMs is a verifiable state. You can verify there is a bug here. Whereas to prove there is NOT a bug is a much more difficult, time-consuming task. It requires constant vigilance." @Rob1Ham

Ask your AI "What has Luke Gromen said about the dollar and Treasuries? Give me timestamps." and get a real answer with links back to the episode.
That's the TFTC MCP server. It searches our podcast transcripts, reads The Commoner and pulls live bitcoin ETF flows and Treasury auction results. Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Grok, Hermes and pretty much any agent.
Free. No account.

Rome’s rise was helped by a favorable climate, but changing weather, grain shortages, and barbarian invasions put the empire under pressure.
Emperor Decius responded by demanding sacrifices to Roman gods, leading to the persecution of Christians.
What happens when leaders try to solve a crisis by forcing people to believe the same things?
Repost and follow for more Roman history!

Retirement plan for two:
1 Bitcoin for you.
1 Bitcoin for your spouse.
Stay consistent now. Thank yourself later.

There is now a $2,000 water heater that mines Bitcoin while it heats your shower.
Your furnace is next.

Keonne Rodriguez (@keonne) is serving five years in federal prison. William Hill is serving four.
They helped build Samourai, a Bitcoin privacy tool. #FreeSamourai
Building privacy technology shouldn't mean developers and their families have to live in fear for innovating.
We haven't forgotten Keonne, Bill, or their families, including Lauren (@leamuirleyn), who continues to advocate for Keonne.
Read Keonne's story and learn more about the clemency campaign:

People blame greedy corporations for rising prices. Jeremy Ryan Slate says it's the dollar in your pocket: every time new money is printed, it gets divided up and worth less.

Silvergate is gone. Signature was shut on a Sunday.
Bank of America willfully broke the BSA for 7 years and paid a fraction of one quarter's profit.
Some institutions live above the law.

If you believe that the advancement of AI intelligence will pull forward the emergence of quantum computing and/or the ability to crack ECDSA in a classical sense, you must also believe it can be used to discover a solution to those problems.
And with these assumptions in mind I would posit that bitcoin is going to be fine because there are more people dedicated specifically to defending the network than there are people dedicated to attacking the protocol.
