If you are using a Mk3 through the Q and didn't use a lot of dice rolls in generating your keys, consider it compromised and move to any quick location you can find. If you have another wallet without a coldcard, send it there, if you have a trusted exchange send it there temporarily, if you can create a quick software wallet send it there. Make sure all the normal process and backups are done carefully during this and then prepare for a better multisig setup for your replacement. My tools i used with a couple of people and for myself when i couldn't remember which software i set up one of my CC keys with: - connect CC to sparrow, import and it will find any and all related keys and balances. You can send from there to any new keys or non CC keys you have - generate a new key or hell if you are limited just send it to a good exchange like river to get it out of harms way as quick as you can. You can get a better setup after you get it out of immediate danger

Been so focused on getting keys moved and contacting people and responding to DMs i forgot my Nostr fma: IF YOU HAVE A COLDCARD PLEASE MOVE YOUR BITCOIN. Assume it is compromised, be careful but act quickly. We're trying to push out a video asap on what to do but here's a quick version in the meantime...

GM There are no reserve requirements for banks. They can issue as much debt as they want from nothing at all. This is normal and could never have massive, systemic negative consequences so don't think about it.

I really wish the US had a free market economy. It’s hard to imagine how prosperous we would be.

Holy shit! Kimi K3 just dropped and it outperforms Fable 5 at coding takes. State of the art Ai models just went fully open and the full weights will be available in just a week or so

I wanted to believe otherwise but the surge in explicit socialists candidates going full retard and *gaining* popularity because of it is honestly frightening.

Correct. I have a show all about that actually 🤣

Imagine thinking that one achieves independence from a totalitarian ruler without paying some price for it? No volatility, no risk, no days of losses, no period of stagnancy, no regulatory risk, no institutions fighting back. Just skipping through meadows and green candles and then throwing in the towel the moment the wind blows. Bitcoin isn't about getting rich, if that's why you're here then you've lost the plot. Bitcoin is about not being beholden to the waste and corruption of a class of people who live off of monetary fraud. Bitcoin is about PROVING that they cannot dilute us for their wars, they cannot counterfeit for their subsidies, they cannot indebt us and our children and their children to get the lie of "free stuff" today. Bitcoin is about independence and the risk and costs that come with it. We may get wealthy IF we achieve independence. But we will never get it asking for permission or waiting for green candles before even taking a stance. Imagine if the American founders had said "we pledge our lives as long as we are comfortable, our fortunes as long as they only go up, and our sacred honor as long as we only benefit from this quest. Otherwise we apologize and ask the King's approval." Some people may not understand that this is THE battle, and maybe they have no idea how or where they are paying for the corruption of their own society. But they are paying for it nonetheless. Bitcoin is the solution and it's not because its going to go up every day you hold it. Quite literally the opposite in fact. When we take away the power to dilute the money, we force them to come straight to our door with their guns and demand what we have earned directly. Bitcoin's mission is to destroy the illusion that they are giving us something for free, and prove that the state is a system of violence and the central bank is a system of covert theft at an unheard of scale. That is the purpose of this tool. It is *independence* through technological rebellion. Not wealth. It is *risking our wealth* for a chance at ending the era of central banking and infinite debts and a world where kids grow up with the poisonous and absurd notion that even as technology becomes more advanced and our capacity to produce grows exponentially, somehow everything still gets "naturally" more expensive and wealth becomes more concentrated. Nothing could be further from the obvious truth. It is govt debt, the central bank money printer, and the counterfeit class that huddles around them like leeches that suffocate society of what would otherwise be stable and consistent growth in our general prosperity, time, and meaning. If you are here only because of 50% returns and leave when it falls 25%... we are not the same.

Mining pool centralization is a very isolated and limited risk. There’s tons that cannot be changed or isn’t at risk because of this. It’s simply a vulnerability to a certain class of problem. To compare that to the nature of fiat and the myriad ways we are getting F’d is like comparing someone who keeps you in a cage and whips you every time you don’t do exactly what they say, with someone who throws eggs on your house when they get frustrated and inconveniences you for an hour or so. Centralization in mining pools is a class of a problem that lives in a totally separate universe from the problems of fiat.

?? "what is wrong with Datum?" I guess you didn't watch the video?

That is the full episode, lol. We're doing shorter form so it fits the video platforms better. Here's the new channel though if that's what you mean: https://www.youtube.com/@GuysTake
