This is a very convincing argument that the Coldcard Bitcoin heist may be an inside job.
The case laid out here compelling and warrants office investigations.
🚨STOP SCROLLING: Everyone Should Bear Witness To This Savage TAKEDOWN of Dr. Fauci by Senator Josh Hawley.
Watch as he DECIMATES Fauci and makes him SQUIRM in his seat.
This is how all of our Representatives and Senators in Congress should act.
Total MASTERCLASS
@realbedford Thoroughly deserved! Continued playing football and holding possession after taking the lead. That’s the way to close out a tight game! 👏👏
Awesome result @realbedford!! 👏👏 Bedfordshire County Cup Winners (and bragging rights over @BedfordTown) Congratulations to everyone involved! Loved watching the livestream from Australia
Update: the App Review Board has confirmed that my Apple Developer account will not be terminated. Sparrow on macOS is safe.
Thank you to everyone who shared and reached out in the past 24 hours - I'm grateful. And credit to @Apple for reviewing the appeal and reaching the right outcome.
The deeper problem hasn't gone away: apps impersonating @SparrowWallet are still reaching users and putting their funds at risk. I'll keep working to protect people from those scams, and I hope to do so alongside @Apple.
Thank you all.
Alan Greenspan died today, and the man who spent two decades inflating bubbles will be eulogized as a maestro. Fitting, because he understood exactly what he was doing.
In 1966 a younger Greenspan wrote an essay called "Gold and Economic Freedom." He laid out the case with precision. The gold standard protected savers from confiscation by inflation. Welfare statists hated gold because it stood in the way of their deficits. He wrote that the abandonment of gold made deficit spending a "scheme for the hidden confiscation of wealth." He was right. He knew it. Then he took the job running the printing press.
From August 1987 to January 2006 Greenspan sat atop the Federal Reserve and did the opposite of everything that essay defended. After the 1987 crash he flooded the banks with liquidity and taught a generation of traders that the central bank would catch them every time they fell. They named the reflex after him: the Greenspan put. He cut the federal funds rate to 1 percent by June 2003 and held it there, and you watched housing prices detach from any sane relationship to income. Mortgage credit gushed. He went on television in February 2004 and suggested Americans consider adjustable-rate mortgages, roughly eighteen months before he started hiking rates into those very borrowers. The man who warned in 1966 about the hidden confiscation of wealth engineered the largest credit distortion in postwar history.
Then came the apology that wasn't one. In October 2008, sitting before Congress as the wreckage smoked, Greenspan confessed he had found "a flaw" in his model of how the world worked. He was "shocked" that lenders had not policed themselves. You don't get to spend twenty years pricing risk at zero and then act surprised when men respond to the incentives you built. Any committee of economists cannot set the price of money better than a market can.
Greenspan knew the answer at 40 and spent the next half century pretending he'd forgotten it. The savers he warned about in 1966 paid for that performance.
Unless @Apple's decision to terminate @craigraw's Apple Developer account is reversed by June 30, all new installs of Sparrow will fail, and development on macOS will end. If you value Sparrow, a repost would help. @AppleSupport
SpaceX holds 18,712 BTC. Combine that with Tesla's 11,509 BTC and @elonmusk’s companies control 30,221 BTC, worth almost USD2 billion. That makes them the 5th largest corporate holder globally. Let that sink in 🤔
If you’re wanting an attractively priced copy of @LynAldenContact’s fantastic new book, The Stolguard Incident, I’ve just donated my copy to @AddymanBooks in Hay-on-Wye, Wales for resale. It’s such a good read and I don’t want it going to waste
The Australian government just put forward sweeping changes to the capital gains tax system.
They pitched it under the guise of helping young people access afforable housing.
I ran the numbers, and undeniably, the policy harms, not helps young Aussies.

Every hardware wallet asks you to trust it. This one says you don't have to. No secure element. No PIN. No airgap. All on purpose. I spent time with three of the new FrostSnap Bitcoin wallet devices to find out if the math actually backs up the claim. And I'll give you my honest take on whether I'd trust it with my own funds. @FrostsnapTech
@dash71_@GamingBlomp Unfortunately the positioning of the ref was terrible. In the last 5 minutes of each half it’s vitally important for a ref to push even harder than normal to get into the correct position (wide of the play, not behind the play, as the ref was in this case).
