“This is a very common theme, that people blame capitalism for the problems of fiat money…and it’s an extremely powerful meme because it gives the people in power exactly what they want to hear” @saifedean 🔥🎯

Who pays when a government or its banks can’t? In Czechoslovakia, Italy, Cyprus and Lebanon, the savers did. On today’s OUTSIDE MONEY, from Prague: “FOUR TIMES GOVERNMENTS STOLE YOUR SAVINGS AND HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF NOW”

The insanity was induced by the drugs, so her psychiatrist & pharmaceutical company should be found guilty along with her. That'd fix the overprescription & mental health crises pretty quickly, as the only actual mental illness is taking psychiatric medication.
Lindsay Clancy likely to found not guilty by reason of insanity. @drjosef explains why.

THE SOVEREIGN REVOLUTION I believe Bitcoin is the beginning of the Sixth Technological Revolution in the framework of @pmarca's favorite economist, @CarlotaPrzPerez. Tell me why I'm wrong!

Following the Coldcard vulnerability disclosure, we're already seeing an increase in phishing attempts. Stay alert for scams ⚠️ • Never share your wallet backup, aka recovery seed (12/20/24 words) • Only enter your wallet backup directly on your Trezor device during recovery • Trezor will never contact you asking for your wallet backup • Never follow wallet-migration instructions from unsolicited emails, messages or phone calls Trezor devices are not affected by the Coldcard incident.

This was a brutal weekend for Bitcoiners. If the Coldcard exploit hit you or someone you know, email me directly. Swan client or not, we'll help. [email protected] Team Bitcoin. We'll get through this.

Important security update for anyone using a COLDCARD. A serious vulnerability has been disclosed involving the randomness used by some @COLDCARDwallet devices when generating Bitcoin seeds. If you use one, move your bitcoin to a new seed generated elsewhere.

Every Bitcoin company should communicate to their clients today. You never know who you'll save. "I don't have a Coldcard so when I saw the news on X earlier this week I didn't think twice about it. Then I saw the email from Swan this morning and still didn't think about it so much....Then my father sends me a whatsapp "I just saw the email from Swan, I have a coldcard!!" He checked and the Bitcoin was still there, he immediately sent it to another wallet. Could be if it wasn't for your email he wouldn't have noticed (doesn't spend so much time on X...)"

This is unreal. I'm really sad for people. My DMs are full of heartbreak, and not one is from a Swan client. If I can help, I will. If Swan can help, we will. The industry and the community will get stronger because of this. Eyes on the prize: Monetary Independence.

IMPORTANT SECURITY UPDATE: COLDCARD users who relied solely on device-generated randomness may be at risk from a security vulnerability that may steal your coins. Users who followed best practices and generated their seed with 100 fair, independent, and private dice rolls are not considered at risk. 50+ rolls seems to also be safe. If you generated your seed on a coldcard without 100 dice rolls, you should: 1. Generate a completely new seed on an unaffected device or airgapped computer. 2. Carefully record and verify the new backup. 3. Verify the wallet fingerprint and receiving address on the hardware wallet. 4. Send a small test transaction. 5. Confirm that everything works before moving the remaining funds. Alternatively, and if any of this is confusing or feels uncertain, move your funds to an exchange custodian temporarily while you figure out how to set up a new seed safely. Anyone uncertain about the firmware used, the number of dice rolls, or whether those rolls remained private should assume the seed may be affected and migrate. The bug prevented the hardware random-number generator from contributing the intended amount of entropy during seed generation, substantially reducing the effective seed-search space. It is not a bug in bitcoin and it doesn't affect any wallets not using coldcard firmware. A strong, unique BIP-39 passphrase adds an independent security barrier, but the protection depends entirely on the strength and secrecy of that passphrase. Even users with a strong passphrase should migrate to a newly generated seed as soon as practical. Never enter your seed words or passphrase into a website, computer, phone, chatbot, or “recovery service.” Do not panic, but do not ignore this. Proceed calmly, verify every step, and act promptly. For further updates, rely on official Coinkite and COLDCARD sources: • Security announcements: blog.coinkite.com/ • COLDCARD on X: @COLDCARDwallet • Coinkite on X: @Coinkite • Firmware releases and upgrade instructions: coldcard.com/docs/upgrade/ Be cautious of unsolicited messages, unofficial “recovery tools,” and accounts offering to help migrate your funds.

FOUR REASONS why stacking with @Swan is the best way to buy Bitcoin into self-custody in the USA: 1) low, transparent fees (0.5% all summer!) and minimal spread = more sats per buck than even Coinbase pro exchange 2) Swan pays network fees for all client withdrawals (and always has!), because we WANT you to self-custody. More than 80% of all sats bought through Swan all-time have been withdrawn to self-custody 😎🧡 3) We make it EASY to avoid address reuse so you can maintain better privacy. We built the world's first tool to extract 1000 addresses from an XPUB while provably never exposing your XPUB to us. 4) THREE flavors of self-custody: on your own with Swan's lauded customer support available to help, guided self-custody via Swan Sovereign including a personal Swan Private rep, and collaborative self-custody with Swan Vault. There's never been a better time to try (or re-try) Swan! Stacking all summer long with the lowest fees in the industry 😎🧡

They sold the French Revolution as the triumph of liberty, reason, and the rights of man. Then the Republic sent its infernal columns into the Vendée with orders to burn every village and slaughter every inhabitant. Men, women, children, peasants who rose up in 1793 against conscription, against the murder of their king, and against the war on their Church. In Nantes they tied families together and drowned them in the Loire by the thousands, calling it “vertical deportation.” Up to 250,000 dead. 1/5 of an entire region exterminated. Some still call this a noble struggle for progress, while others call it France’s first modern genocide. Every bloody revolution follows the same script. It promises liberation, then builds its new order on mass graves. The moment dissent appears, the idealists reach for the firing squad and the drowning boat. More than kill a king, The French Republic proved that when men seize power in the name of humanity, they become monsters who will butcher anyone who refuses their utopia. Only the flags change.

.@ben_mckenzie went on @jonstewart's @weeklyshowpod last week and made a series of claims about Bitcoin and crypto. @LynAldenContact responded to them in a video on the Swan YouTube channel. 🧵 Here's a thread with some clips of Lyn's takes...
