It's hilarious that in 2017 we said nah not trading stocks they're too slow.
And they immediately started a never-ending bull market. Absolute parabola.
And we're at the same prices as 5 years ago, with brain damage and a million worthless meme tokens.

All the recent talk about Ledger spyware lately, maybe others will find this interesting.
In August I actually tested the tamper-resistance claims from @FoundationHQ on one of my Passport Primes. (Pic for reference, with the background removed).
It definitely works.
The screen only separated this far from the case before the device alerted me that the master key was completely wiped after detecting the intrusion.

Just a reminder that GLM 5.3 Flash, DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, Qwen 3.8 Next Flash, and even Qwen 3.8 27B are all outperforming (in both intelligence and capabilities) every model that was considered "frontier intelligence" in Xmas 2025 (just 10 months ago)

I tried so hard playing video games since Astra released, but it is in vain. I get so much dopamine just creating stuff, for myself, for work, to share, etc., that I just can't do anything else at the moment.

¿Notáis el confort en bolsa o que ganáis dinero fácil solo con leer un par de tuits?
Esa es la señal de que el mercado está muy sobrevalorado, mucho más que cualquier relación precio/beneficios o cualquier Buffett indicator.

I did my own investigation because I obviously don't trust them.
What I found is that the external dependency of the firmware with the critical vulnerability hidden in it was written by CoinKite's CTO @DocHex pretending to be someone else.
All of the following can be verified:

This is worse than any previous Bitcoin exchange hack. It is arguably one of the worst things that could happen.
The popular hardware wallet COLDCARD has a faulty random number generator (RNG). Funds are being drained from ordinary users’ hardware wallets as you read this.
Users first reported to Block less than 24 hours ago that funds were moving out of their wallets. The exploit was most likely discovered with the help of AI. Block has confirmed that the RNG is broken. You know what that means.
There are likely already multiple attackers competing for the affected BTC. Many more will join very soon.
Nobody knows how much BTC is affected.
Nobody knows how many users are affected.
This attack has only just begun, and it will continue until all affected BTC has been drained unless users secure their funds first. Inevitably, many Bitcoiners will not hear about the incident early enough to respond in time.
I am truly saddened for everyone affected, especially those who may have just lost their life savings.
The worst part is that they did everything right.

Regarding the Coldcard entropy bug – many folks are explaining what happened but I wanted to take a minute to explain why it may have happened.
It's a disastrous situation and our heart goes out to all the Bitcoiners affected.
Here's a timeline of events:
On July 28 2020: @FoundationHQ announced our first Passport hardware wallet and noted that we were building on Coldcard firmware which at the time was GPLv3 licensed (FOSS license).
On July 30 2020: NVK publicly said he regretted choosing GPL because Coldcard now had a “clone” and that they would change things in future updates. xitter.cf/nvk/status/12888603458…
On November 18 2020: Coldcard added its MIT + Commons Clause license, prohibiting commercial products substantially derived from the software. github.com/Coldcard/firmware…
On January 8, 2021: Coldcard firmware 3.2.1 formally announced, “License changed from GPL to MIT+CC on files for which the GPL doesn’t apply.” CC is the "Commons Clause" license addendum which is "source available" instead of FOSS.
On March 1, 2021: The “First pass w/ libNgU” commit removed the GPL @Trezor-derived crypto libraries and replaced them with libNgU. That same 120-file commit changed seed generation code. libNgU was licensed with a novel “Licensed for Bitcoin Only” license.
On March 17, 2021: Version 4.0.0 announced that all crypto and BIP39 code had been replaced and that the “last remaining GPL code” was removed. blog.coinkite.com/version-4.…
github.com/Coldcard/firmware…
Our best understanding right now is that the entropy bug was collateral damage from this major overhaul of the codebase.
To be clear, this overhaul was not solely about licensing. Coldcard also cited technical goals including adopting Bitcoin Core’s libsecp256k1, faster AES and SHA implementations, and reproducible builds.
But the timeline establishes two things:
(1) Foundation’s launch was the obvious impetus for Coldcard’s licensing change, and
(2) removing the remaining GPL code was an explicit goal of the subsequent v4 rewrite.
We don't know by how much the licensing pressure affected the scope or timeline of the rewrite. All we can determine is that the entropy bug was introduced inside the same 120-file commit that removed the old GPL code dependencies.

50GB of encrypted storage.
Because some things are too valuable for a USB stick.
Not every secret is a private key.
Some are recovery codes, documents, credentials, and files you can't afford to lose.

30-40K is giving me the same vibes as the 10-12K calls last cycle.
It became the consensus view, but it never happened.
So forgive me if I'm 10% early. I was about 10% early calling the top at 112K $BTC, and that still worked out in the end.
A lot of what I do today comes from mistakes I've made in the past. Mistakes that cost me a lot of money, mistakes I have no intention of repeating.
A lot of people criticize my trading style. They criticize the gradual TWAP entries. They criticize what they see as an "unreasonable" stop loss. The reality is that most of them simply don't understand the mathematics behind how I trade.
I use low leverage. I position myself accordingly and calculate the statistical probability of certain price levels being hit, using leverage as my invalidation point. I'm not a gambler, I'm a compounder.
I'm here to make money. I don't care about quick gains, and I don't care about the reckless trading people engage in for clicks and attention. I try to position myself the same way institutions and hedge funds do.
Slowly, gradually, with low leverage, and only when the RR is significantly in my favour.
I think a lot of people underestimate how much wealth can be built through compounding over a long period of time because they're constantly chasing fast gains.
The reality is that wealth is built over years, not weeks.
The longer you stay in the game, the more disciplined and patient you are, the more money tends to follow.
It's easy to develop a distorted perception of trading with the amount of crap you see on this app. People posting outrageous gains, bragging, and chasing engagement.
But they'll never show you the losses.
If that temporary ego boost gives you satisfaction, great. For me, not so much.
So, simply put, I'm here to make money, whether it's fast or slow.
If you don't like my passive approach, I couldn't care less. This is how the biggest players in the world operate. You can either position alongside them or against them.
I choose to play with them.

It's hard to believe that the "~80%+ of the internet is blocked in Spain during football games" claim is true - but it is!! And has been for years.
The government is sabotaging their complete digital economy... for La Liga, a private football org worth €5B. Pure madness

You can't flee a war zone with gold, so you're forced to sell at a discount (if you're lucky enough to find a buyer)
Then figure out how to get that fiat abroad
Meanwhile you can cross a border with millions worth of Bitcoin in your head by memorizing 12 words
Bitcoin price aside, that is a true innovation
Gold Stuck in Dubai Is Being Sold at a Discount as War Widens
Gold is being offered at a steep discount in Dubai, as the war in the Middle East grounds flights and hampers suppliers’ ability to move bullion out of the key trading hub.
Many buyers have stepped back from new orders, unwilling to pay exceptionally high shipping and insurance costs with no guarantee of prompt delivery. As a result, rather than paying indefinitely for storage and funding, traders are offering discounts of as much as $30 an ounce to the global benchmark in London, according to people with knowledge of the matter, who asked not to be named discussing market information.
Many shipments remained stranded on Friday, the people said, although some bullion had been loaded onto flights leaving Dubai from the middle of this week. (Bloomberg)

Ya aparecen los clásicos tonto bros que lejos de saber interpretar los mercados tampoco saben interpretar lo que leen.
Defender bitcoin a largo plazo es compatible con reconocer que parte del mercado toma este como activo risk on y meramente especulativo.
Solo un tonto ve contradicción.
