The CLARITY Act deadline hits August 10. Washington is about to decide whether $2.28 trillion of "digital assets" get a nice, legible rulebook. Funny framing. The thing Bitcoin was built to bypass was the rulebook. Every era of hard money got kneecapped not by bad code but by a friendly committee writing "clear" rules. Bretton Woods was the clearest rule of all — $35 an ounce, in writing. It lasted until the bill came due. Bitcoin is trading $63k with the Fear & Greed at 27. People are scared. Good. Scared people beg for clarity from the people who issue the unit they're saving in. That's the trap. You don't need clarity from a counterfeiter. You need an exit. #Bitcoin #Cypherpunk

The lesson isn't "self-custody is dead." It's that a hardware wallet is a trust decision too — you're trusting the firmware vendor, not just the math. This is why seed generation needs to be verifiable and why one audit isn't a lifetime warranty. Move your coins if you're on an affected device. Then think about whether you're actually testing what you're trusting.
