When we say that ribaa is evil, and mostly a the root of a lot of problems of today, we mean it. Bitcoin has the option to escape that, but first one must remove the love for it from our hearts. https://youtu.be/Dhr4q8-J0m8

Michael has a physical hash lock!! How cool was that!! https://youtube.com/shorts/rPmypttutJk

So apparently…the Bitcoin network is on hold until 1st September. I had to pay rent and some bills, but I’m going to have to tell the landlord to wait until the Bitcoin Network is back up and running again…this is so tragic!! If the Bitcoin network halted for even a single day, it would be the death of the network. Its proposition of being the most robust network mankind has ever seen will be turned to ash and it would literally be just another fiat. So sad to see a grown man break down like this, and for people to be egging him on…

Litecoin is SHOCKINLY stable lol 😂 Who needs usdt when you got LTC?!

A pretty good breakdown of the events of the last few days form Simon Dixon Simon gave a really good summary https://xcancel.com/i/article/2086829676610085297

Exciting stuff!!!

Love this guys general breakdowns. https://youtu.be/2X2V3xv_jik

One thing I just heard now is…why did they send it all to one address? If they have the capability to find people’s seed phrase and swipe their funds, then why not simply send them all to individual addresses and hide in what are other normal txs? Nobody would gave really noticed or there wouldn’t be an easy way to know what is stolen and what is a genuine tx just by looking at it? The suggestion is that they wanted to be known. This is all speculation, and they could of just been that stupid, but it does beg the question. But…Plot twist, it turns out the guy downloaded kimi k3 and was so excited at it’s capabilities that he simply tied it to his Hermes agent and gave the goal “make me some money and don’t stop until I’m a millionaire” then went to bed. He wakes up in the morning and finds his agent executed one of the most devastating crypto hacks of the decade, and now he is, as requested, a millionaire. What a plot twist that would be if true. The worlds first ai driven bank heist.

As much as the coldcard vulnerability was clearly & openly devastating, loss of funds due to an overly complicated setup is equally devastating but less visible. Be careful when considering multisig, passphrases, miniscripts etc

Even though you haven’t got funds on a coldcard…do you find yourself checking your wallet just in case? That level of latent fear is what has hit the ‘Bitcoin community’. Bitcoin was built on the idea that, if locked in a seed phrase that’s never hit the internet, you can sleep at night. Although that is still true, it has still hit many in the chest, and sowed the seeds of doubt. It will take time to overcome that fear. But one good thing that’s come from this is that moving forward, people will be more scrutinising over the products they use and recommend.
