I think the Lizard People have surrendered to Bitcoin Core, which, if true, means that we have an extremely powerful tool in popular open source software, categorically. It's too hard to slip in corruption with all the world's most competent eyeballs watching.
The Lizards are now trying to centralize keys. We need to make self custody as realistic as possible and not let them reach whatever tipping point of keys they calculated.
Notice, that while the details differ, they are running they same playbook as they did with centralizing gold. Gold failed because it's various properties made it vulnerable to capture by central bankers. Gold was too expensive/burdensome/risky to self-custody.
Notice, again, the narratives emerging from the CC heist.
"Screw it, self-custody is too hard, I'm moving to an exchange."
"They did everything right."
"Death of self-custody."
Each hack/heist encourages the average Bitcoiner to conclude that self-custody isn't worth the risk. That their odds are better with a "well-trusted" institution holding their keys instead. That an institution is the easy button.
If you were a lizard, you'd attempt to introduce critical bugs in specialized HWWs (and their related software stacks) to encourage this migration to institutions.
Each bot repeating that Core is too hard to learn, that something like Yeti Cold is too tedious, advances the Lizard's goal of key centralization.
Call to action: make self-custody as realistic as possible. Reject specialized HWWs. Take one Saturday to learn how Core actually works, it's just software. Learn how to secure generational wealth, it's not beyond you. And pass the knowledge you learn onto the next pleb.

It sounds very Italian though, everything is forbidden but nothing is enforced

Don’t over complicate it.
Get two dedicated used laptops and two dedicated USB drives.
Download the yeti 2.0 guide from GitHub.
Follow the steps.
Here’s a short explainer 👇.
(Btw this guide is duplicatable anywhere on earth with an internet connection).

How the hack works, who should panic and how to get safe.

Do you see how this works yet?
Run generic hardware with massively reviewed FOSS!

I apparently pissed off a lot of bagholders who do not understand the technical issue, and the replies make that painfully fucking obvious.
People keep conflating different claims: AI accelerating quantum engineering, fault-tolerant quantum Shor, and AI discovering a classical/GPU break of ECDLP before Q-day. These are separate claims with separate mechanisms, assumptions, and evidence requirements. Blending them together just shows headline-level understanding.
The pattern was predictable: credential worship, price-tribe anger, "you didn't read it," "Justin Drake said it," "AI might bamboozle math," "what about unknown breaks," "maybe P = NP," and "curves have fancy structure." A few replies sounded technical, but they ultimately still reduced to handwaving: maybe some unknown classical algorithm appears, therefore panic is justified.
That is not cryptanalysis, and it is not how technical discussion should work. ECDSA is known to be breakable by Shor on a fault-tolerant quantum computer. A classical/GPU break before Q-day would require a new classical attack on elliptic curve discrete log. If that is the claim, show the algorithm, complexity analysis, toy result, benchmark, or paper.
This is why I left crypto. I got involved early because I cared about the technology: cryptography, distributed systems, VMs, consensus, protocol design. Now the space is full of hype, price charts, memecoins, credential worship, and people yelling at anyone who asks for the mechanism.
Anyway, I am off to yoga practice now. Be less disgusting while I am gone.
This guy is either trolling or he genuinely does not understand quantum computing. ECDSA does not break because AI read some math papers and GPUs exist. A known break requires a fault-tolerant quantum computer running Shor's algorithm, which we do not have. To break Ethereum ECDSA, you need hundreds of thousands of physical qubits that are low-noise, controllable, connected, error-corrected, cooled, calibrated, decoded, and operated as roughly 1,200 to 1,500 logical qubits (500,000 physical qubits for error correction) for a huge Shor computation.
The missing piece is not one clever AI-discovered trick. It is an entire fault-tolerant quantum computing stack that has not been built yet. If he is claiming ECDSA falls before Q-day on GPU clusters, he is implying a classical Shor-level break of elliptic curve discrete log. Show the attack, the complexity, the benchmark, or even a toy result. Otherwise "security researcher" is doing a lot of work in his bio.

I'm speaking of any hardware wallet. Any hardware, actually.
If it has a chip in it, I guarantee there's no way for you or anyone else to independently verify the supply chain end to end.
And before someone replies with "seedsigner" good luck getting Broadcom to tell you anything.
At that point, it isn't binary "secure or not secure".
It is levels of risk. Where you choose to put that risk in your personal threat model is up to you.
An end-to-end verifiable software development chain is not improved by adding an unknown, unverified, bespoke hardware component to it.
Constantly claiming that it is means your actual intent is not security, but to increase usage (and purchase) of something you are pushing.
And before you go to grok for help with "laptops have a chip therefore..." that's already addressed in the risk model: commodity laptops.
Why? Because if a commodity laptop running verifiable software on it has a security issue, it means millions of people and billions of dollars are at risk, not 1,000 people who happened to buy some hardware wallet some youtuber was shilling.
And it *that* were true, the majority of hacks wouldn't require the *user* to download something or take other action, the hacker would just use the mystery back door in that commodity laptop that nobody has ever found. Right?
So, again, back to risk model. Using commodity laptops that have implicit security due to scale are used to mitigate (not eliminate) the threat of supply chain attacks.
As soon as "hardware wallet" enters the conversation, the risk model needs to go heavily towards "high risk".
And no, "multivendor multisig" is not a solution, either, that's just adding more risk.
WHY CIGARETTES ARE COOLER THAN CIGARS & PIPES
By Lord Doc Alburgh
The problem with cigars is that guys like REDACTED or whatever his name is fucking ruined their reputation. And the guys who smoke pipes also really want to bring back men’s fashion circa 1940, ie larp.
But I agree that in a vacuum cigars are stately, and pipes favor wizard philosophers.
I like that cigarettes are sold at gas stations and you can do things at the same time you smoke them. Cigars and pipes are sedentary rituals, which is fine in its own right but cigarettes are for men of action: you smoke them while grinding barnacles off a hull or during the Tour de France.
I like things, companies/institutions and people who know what they are and are comfortable with it. Chilis knows what it is: it’s casual dining for a declining middle class and doesn’t pretend to be a Michelin starred restaurant.
Some guys get into cigars because they want to project an image of hierarchical success. like a CEO or something, and some guys buy pipes because they want other people to know that they are quirky and different.
Cigarettes are for nicotine addicts.
Status seeking via consumerism is always gay. There are legitimate ways to buy status, like sponsoring an open source project or donating a new wing to a hospital, but luxury watches and exotic cars ain't it.
The contrarian in me thinks it’s funny that cigarettes are a middle finger to the kind of old world craftsmanship that’s required to roll a flawless cigar, or make a fine pipe.
Cigarettes are mass produced perfection. Have you ever had a defective cigarette? They are five nines of reliability.
And store bought cigarettes are the best, they add ammonia and free base the nicotine like crack. Nicotine hits like a freight train. The added chemicals make it good.

Monarchies have lower crime, inflation, taxes, and better protection of property rights. The only thing democracies do better is give you the delusion that your vote for one bankster-selected pedo or the other matters.

I innocently asked grok to improve @EntropyLabX and it told me it’s stupid and just to use yeti instead.
Yeti requires Bitcoin Core only on dedicated air-gapped machines, 3-of-7 multisig, and paper NATO backups with zero extra code touching secrets. EntropyLab’s browser WASM derivation, vanity grinder, journal, silent payments, and PSBT editor expand the attack surface. Stripped to pure user-entropy dice/coin-to-BIP39 seed plus Core descriptors. No other features. Use Yeti 2.0 for real funds.

Reproducible app builds are not the same as reproducible build chains.
There are many taking advantage of the ambiguity between these terms.

Yeti 2.0 is exactly that: pure Bitcoin Core on air-gapped generic hardware, with private keys (WIF) burned to 7 archival discs as the sole bearer instruments. Any 3 discs spend; up to 4 can be lost. No vendor devices, no BIP39 seeds.
For simpler single-sig bearer storage, generate offline in Core, dump the WIF to disc or paper, and keep the medium air-gapped. Less redundancy, higher single-point loss risk.
Follow the full guide with test spends either way.
My guess of needing between $100k-125k to raise a family a four in an average American town looks to be accurate. Infuriating.
Bitcoin must succeed. Pray to God.
Once you realize that many highly skilled trades don’t even make 1963 minimum wage today ($57.90/hr), you realize why we are short highly skilled trades 🤷♂️
