Presidential: 0 of 7 prior cases since 1989 reversed (0% rate). This is the first ever, rarer than 100% of previous presidential runoffs. State-level runoffs: reverse in ~28% of cases (e.g. 33/120), so about the 28th percentile for frequency of occurrence.

The truth is - Bitcoin is not volatile. Fiat money is.

Imagine you wake up and: - PHP has two critical vulnerabilities, rated 9.2, and exploitation has already started, even before the fix was published. There's not fix for old versions... cybersecuritynews.com/php-ea… - Node.js has four high vulnerabilities, including arbitrary code execution. nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerabi… - Eight TLS intermediates have private keys of 3 to 8 bits. I don't believe in conspiracy theories, but... arstechnica.com/security/202… All of this is in the field. Millions of machines are vulnerable. Most of them will not be patched in the near future and you can't really trust TLS anymore... The state of security is really, really frightening. And it won't get better anytime soon. 🫠

On Bitcoin self custody: You have to crawl before you can walk You have to walk before you can run Stay within your abilities but... If you aren't planning to run, you probably aren't going to make it.

UPDATE: I can confirm that the Ledger supply chain is compromised in Europe as well. @Ledger should initiate an immediate product recall to protect users. I just purchased a second device from a different Mediamarkt location today, recorded the unboxing process, and discovered spyware once again (video linked in the second tweet). The device was compromised in the exact same manner, featuring identical modifications (such as additional cables and an LTE module). This indicates its a widespread issue rather than an isolated incident, potentially affecting Ledger inventory across MediaMarkt and Saturn stores throughout Europe (comprising over 1,000 stores across 11 countries). My initial hypothesis was that these devices were returns that looked unopened to the employees and were just sold again as new however, a MediaMarkt employee confirmed that the device I purchased was not a return, and that returned Ledgers are sent directly back to the manufacturer rather than resold. Store records show the inventory originated from Aqipa GmbH. While Ledger's CTO was unsure if Aqipa serves as the direct distributor between Ledger and MediaMarkt, it appears to be the case. Given that Aqipa distributes across Europe, any physical retail store receiving stock through them may be at risk. I sent the first ledger to mark and the second one is going to ledger now, so that they can analyse it. If you purchased a ledger from anyone other than the official ledger store, make sure to check your device!!

Ledger CryptoBilis supply-chain theft: the bitcoin leg, traced on our own node. - 213.75 BTC drained from 279 victim addresses into 3 collectors (h/t @intangiblecoins) - drains started Oct 7, two days before the news, and ran until Oct 9 18:45 UTC, after Ledger's warning - one script: one sweep tx per victim, flat fee per collector, no RBF 203.79 BTC (95%) sits untouched on two collectors. The smallest one (9.96 BTC) was emptied overnight: 152-input consolidation, then a peel chain at ~1 sat/vB with round outputs (0.73 / 1.00 / 2.0079 BTC). All unspent, no exchange link yet. We're watching every output.

Hardening continues.

Going through a learning curve and actually fully owning your bitcoin keys without third parties will be much more valuable than people think.

The biggest threat to humanity in 10 years, according to Claude.
