Your name is Jean-Marc, you’re 46, and you run a video game and collectibles shop in Nice, wedged between an optician and a real estate agency selling 1-bed flats for €410,000 “with sea view” if you lean far enough off the balcony.

You know every GTA San Andreas cheat by heart. You tested all of them in 2005 on the PS2 in your bedroom at your mum’s place.

You opened in 2011 with a state-backed loan at 4.7%, and the naive belief that passion eventually pays.

It did pay, sort of. €1,900 a month in a good year, after the French tax office has eaten first, second and third. Your commercial rent is indexed on a formula nobody in the Republic actually understands.

You sell Funko Pops at €17.99, sealed Pokémon cards, refurbished controllers. You let little Enzo, 12, pay in installments because he’s saving for a Switch 2. You close at 7:30pm and walk home because the harbor parking is €3.40 an hour.

Saturday, there’s a protest “against the cost of living.”
You also think living costs too much. You almost went.
At 5:12pm, your metal shutter gets ripped open with a crowbar.

Forty teenagers in tracksuits and crossbody bags walk into your shop like it’s a bonus level. They take the PS5s, the Dragon Ball figures, the till with today’s €280 and even the box of paper bags that say “thank you for your visit.”
A guy in a floral shirt films it vertically for TikTok.

You step outside and say “stop, this is my shop.”
You get hit from behind.
Then rocks.
They laugh. Floral shirt guy is thrilled: good angle, good lighting.
Sunday morning, the police tell you there are “1,400 arrests nationwide” and they won’t send a squad for some Funko Pops. Filing the complaint takes 2 hours 40. The officer types with two fingers on Windows 7.

Monday noon, your insurer reminds you that your €1,140-a-year policy has a €3,000 deductible and a “riots and civil commotion” exclusion on page 31, font size 6.
Saturday night, an MP explains on TV that “the anger is legitimate” and we “shouldn’t cry over shop windows.” He’s never owned a shop window. He has a state-funded apartment.
Sunday, your limited edition Vegeta figures show up on Vinted. “Brand new, never opened, €39, pickup in North Nice.”
The seller has 4.9 stars.
Monday, the tax office emails you. They haven’t heard about the riots. They’ve heard about your payment deadline.

You did everything right, Jean-Marc. That was never the problem.
The problem is you were playing by the rules in a lobby where nobody else does.

So stop believing in the State. It’s not coming to save you. It’s coming to collect.

Stop voting. Every five years they hand you the controller, and it’s never plugged in.

Go to the gym. Not for revenge. For you. Because when the system folds, the only asset nobody can loot is the one you built under a barbell.
And make money they can’t see. Cash, side hustles, sats on a cold wallet in a sock drawer. Not your keys, not your coins. Not your shop, not your loss.

Fuck the system, Jean-Marc.
It already did it to you first.

Intéressant de regarder où sont réellement fabriqués les hardware wallets Ledger. Ledger est une entreprise française, mais tous ses appareils ne sont pas fabriqués et assemblés en France.

🇫🇷 Nano X : production et conditionnement annoncée à Vierzon
🇭🇺 Nano S Plus noir : assemblé en Hongrie
🇻🇳 Stax : fabrication indiquée au Vietnam (lieu exact d'assemblage final à confirmer)
🇻🇳 Flex : fabrication indiquée au Vietnam par plusieurs sources commerciales (assemblage final à confirmer)
❓ Nano Gen5 : pays de fabrication à confirmer

Dans le contexte actuel, la chaîne d’approvisionnement mérite aussi notre attention. Une marque française ne signifie pas nécessairement une fabrication française. Et l’assemblage en France ne garantit pas non plus que tous les composants soient d’origine française. Sources : documentation de Ledger et fiches de distributeurs. Les niveaux de certitude varient selon les modèles.

leaving these here for no particular reason:

Ledger Nano X - 34 g
Ledger Nano S Plus - 21 g
Ledger Flex - 58 g

Trezor Safe 7 - 45 g
Trezor Safe 5 - 23 g
Trezor Safe 3 - 14 g

Keystone 3 Pro - 103 g

Un Ledger peut passer tous les tests d'authenticité… et envoyer tes 24 mots à un inconnu par réseau mobile.

❌ Pour moi, c'est terminé. Je raccroche les hardware wallets.

Et ça me fait mal de l'écrire. Pendant des années, c'était LE conseil. "Not your keys, not your coins." Achète un Ledger, range ta seed, dors tranquille. Je l'ai répété moi-même.

Ce qu'on a trouvé dans des Nano X vendus neufs, sous blister intact :
1️⃣ Une deuxième carte cachée derrière l'écran, à la place du coussinet
2️⃣ Une batterie remplacée par une plus petite pour faire de la place
3️⃣ Une puce, une antenne, une eSIM et un modem 4G

L'implant ne touche pas la puce sécurisée. Il lit l'écran au moment où ta phrase de récupération s'affiche, puis il l'envoie. Le "Genuine Check" reste au vert.

Ledger a confirmé un implant dans l'appareil d'une victime. Plus de 70 millions de dollars auraient été vidés chez des clients d'un revendeur officiel en Asie du Sud-Est.

🚨 Et ça ne resterait pas en Asie. Un acheteur affirme avoir trouvé des câbles en trop dans un Ledger acheté en magasin, chez un revendeur officiel européen. Selon Mark Karpelès (ex-patron de Mt. Gox), l'antenne porterait une étiquette "version eurasienne". Il pourrait donc y en avoir d'autres en circulation.

📍 Et le plus beau : la réponse officielle. Leurs systèmes ne sont pas compromis et il faut acheter chez le fabricant ou chez un revendeur agréé.
Et devinez quoi ? Le revendeur était agréé.

⚫ Rien ne prouve que tous les Ledger soient piégés. Mais c'est justement le problème : tu ne peux plus le prouver toi-même. Tout le trajet entre l'usine et ton salon est une boîte noire.

Le hardware wallet n'avait qu'une seule promesse : ne faire confiance à personne. Aujourd'hui, il faut faire confiance à l'usine, au transporteur, au revendeur, au magasin… et à un tournevis.

🚩Je pense que cette industrie n'a plus d'avenir. Pas parce que la puce est mauvaise. Parce que la confiance ne se répare pas avec un firmware.

🚨 LEDGER HACK UPDATES:

Mark Karpelès, cựu CEO của sàn Mt. Gox, cho biết ông đã nhận được một ví lạnh Ledger từ Malaysia bị cài thiết bị gián điệp bên trong. Cái Ledger này vẫn còn nguyên lớp niêm phong trên hộp, nhìn bên ngoài không có dấu hiệu bị can thiệp.

Nhưng vì máy này được gửi từ Mã Lai thay vì Nhật nên Mark mở ra kiểm tra và phát hiện thiết bị gián điệp được giấu ngay phía sau màn hình Ledger, bao gồm module LTE, eSIM, ăng-ten và chip điều khiển... nghĩa là thiết bị này có thể đọc 24 từ khôi phục khi chúng xuất hiện trên màn hình trong quá trình cài đặt, sau đó gửi thông tin cho hacker qua mạng di động.

Ledger đang điều tra các thiết bị được mua từ nhà bán lẻ CryptoBilis, đơn vị phân phối ví lạnh tại Đông Nam Á, chủ yếu ở Malaysia, Philippines và Indonesia. CryptoBilis cũng kinh doanh nhiều thương hiệu ví lạnh khác như Trezor, SafePal, Tangem, CoolWallet và Ellipal.

Về phía Trezor, công ty cho biết đang kiểm tra sự việc và hiện chưa ghi nhận bất kỳ trường hợp nào tương tự.

Banks in Japan are insane. I’ve had a lot of trouble with them in the past, but SMBC just beat everything.

So far, it’s been four trips to the bank branch. Just to send $4,000 USD to a company in Hong Kong from my own company (LLC). My next trip to the bank will involve 60 pages of documentation.

Writing it here so I can blow a fuse.

First, you have to present a document that you can get from city hall and bring it to the bank.

Then you need your bank transaction booklet.

Then you need the invoice you have to pay.

Then you need the contract related to the invoice you have to pay.

Then you have to explain, in your own words, why you contracted with them.

Then, for each line on the invoice, they ask you what it’s for: “Ah, there’s a line saying you’re reimbursing some expenses. What are the expenses? What proof do you have? Where are the receipts?”

Then they question why the contract is one year old while the invoice is one month old, so I have to explain why I pay only once a year.

Then, in my transaction booklet, they spot a line: a transaction from a Japanese Bitcoin exchange!

Red alert => They ask me for a log of all the transactions on the exchange.

I send them the data file, but they reject it because the log I gave them doesn’t have my company’s name on it. So instead of giving them the raw data, I have to take a photo of my screen with my phone and print that.

Then they wonder why the exchange received money according to the exchange log, so I tell them that the company gets paid in Bitcoin.

Then they ask me which company paid me, along with the invoice and contract as proof.

Then they ask why the company didn’t send the money directly to the exchange. So I have to explain what a self-hosted Bitcoin wallet is and the benefits of it.

Then they ask for proof of my transactions in the self-hosted wallet. As before, they don’t trust a CSV file, so I need to take a screenshot of my Bitcoin wallet records on my BTCPay Server, with the name of my own company visible on it.

Keep in mind that EVERYTHING has to be printed on paper. NO DATA FILES ALLOWED.

It’s been four trips to the bank branch.

Every time, I get a different person who doesn’t understand Bitcoin, so I have to explain everything from scratch.

And now I’m just hoping they don’t notice that the money comes from the BTCPay Server Foundation, of which I’m the director, because if they see that, they’ll probably ask me for proof of the source of the BTCPay Server Foundation’s funds as well...

Which will probably mean another 100 pages of documentation.

Next trip I am bringing my PC, and a portable printer to the bank! I will be the one laughing this time.
