@btcnewsalerts @BeefButterBTC What are the recommendations to creating a “strong pass phrase”?

Or how do you define a “strong pass phrase”

@BitBoxSwiss What if someone has an old computer and they are unable to update to the newest bitbox software. Are they at risk?

Dear COLDCARD attackers,

Congratulations. You successfully found a bug, exploited, and have collectively gathered around 1,500 bitcoin.

Now you are sitting on one of the most blacklisted coin stacks in history. It will be nearly impossible for you to exchange for currency or deal with any institution. Every move you make will be highly scrutinized and tracked. Presumably for the rest of your lives, you will be looking over your shoulder.

I suggest you plea with CoinKite to return all stolen funds in return for an audit fee of 5% of the loot. This way your work is rewarded and you are able to enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Respectfully,
hodlers worldwide

@Excellion Thankfully avoided catastrophe moving funds out on Friday.

I feel for those affected. I would have joined them hours, or even minutes later.

@Zenul_Abidin @GMONEYPEPE Shady shit going on @ Coinkite

I got a scam letter that appeared to be from CK last month. Was so convincing I reached out to CK and they said they would never send a letter to customers.

The letter listed every product I bought from them. CK could not answer how scammers knew.

@saylor Alright BIP 110 it is

@jackmallers @Strike Soul regained. Level up achieved. Bravo.

Now we need some strategic tea leave drops on what you witnessed…

Brilliant

[Adam Livingston @AdamBLiv]

Nobody warns you. That's the sick part.

Nobody sits you down and says, hey, if you spend one weekend actually reading about money, you will lose the ability to enjoy anything for the rest of your life.

Your brother-in-law just mentions it at a barbecue. That's how it starts. Some guy holding a hot dog says "you should look into Bitcoin" and you laugh at him.

You laugh AT him.

You make the tulip joke. You feel superior for eleven more days.

Then it's 2:47 in the morning and you're on your fourth Saylor podcast and your wife thinks you're having an affair.

And in a way, you are.

You're cheating on your entire worldview.

ou came in to debunk it. That's the trap. Everyone comes in to debunk it. You wanted to find the flaw, dunk on your brother-in-law, and go back to your Vanguard target date fund like a respectable adult.

Instead you found out what happened in 1971 and now you can't make eye contact with your 401k.

Because here's what actually happens.

Bitcoin is cool and all, but you REALLY learn about the dollar. Bitcoin is fine, Bitcoin is twenty-one million and a schedule, you understand it in an afternoon. The dollar takes months, because every time you think you've hit the bottom of that thing there's a trapdoor.

The Fed just... prints it? And they gave how much to the banks in 2008? And the banks did WHAT with it?

And the guy who ran that got a MEDAL? You're up at 4am reading about the Cantillon effect like it's your kid's toxicology report.

Then comes the phase where you're insufferable.

Everyone goes through it, nobody admits it. You ruin Thanksgiving. You genuinely ruin it. Your aunt says turkey prices are crazy this year and you see your opening like a lion seeing a wounded gazelle.

Forty-five minutes later you're drawing the M2 money supply on a napkin and your mother is crying and your uncle is saying "it's not backed by anything" for the ninth time while his pension is backed by the promises of a government that's thirty-seven trillion in debt.

He's worried about YOUR risk profile.

He has unit bias so bad he'd rather own a whole Shiba Inu coin than a fraction of the hardest asset ever created, because his brain, poisoned by seventy years of fiat, thinks "whole thing cheap" beats "piece of thing good."

And the prices. God, the prices. You can't turn it off.

You're in the grocery store repricing eggs in sats. The eggs are getting cheaper in sats. Everything is getting cheaper in sats except your will to explain that to anyone.

You look at a house and you don't see a house, you see the number of Bitcoin it costs, and that number falling forever, and you realize the housing crisis is a measuring stick crisis, and you say this out loud at a dinner party, once, and now you're not invited to dinner parties.

Then the anger burns off and something worse arrives.

Clarity. You realize nobody is coming to fix this.

The people in charge KNOW. That's the part that breaks you. They're not stupid, they're incentivized.

The debt can't be paid, only inflated, and every serious person in a suit on television knows it, and their plan is to be dead before the invoice arrives.

So you buy. Coinbase, first time, hands shaking like you're doing something illegal, and the fee annoys you, and that annoyance is the last normal financial emotion you will ever feel.

You set up the DCA. You learn what a hardware wallet is. You write twelve words on steel like a doomsday prepper, because that's what you are now, except your bunker is math.

And then the loneliness. Nobody tells you about the loneliness. You've seen it. You can't unsee it.

And you're surrounded by people you love who are working forty years to fill a bathtub with the drain open, and when you point at the drain they get mad at YOU.

So you stop pointing. You just stack quietly, in the dark, waiting for the day one of them comes to you, at a barbecue, holding a hot dog, and says the words.

"Hey... you were into Bitcoin, right?"

And you smile. Because it's their turn in the barrel.

Welcome. Nobody warned me either.

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

[Randy Bitcoin Savage @machomanbitcoin]

WTF @Apple @AppStore I’m a 20 year Mac/Apple ecosystem user and it might be time to leave if a trillion dollar company cannot discern between a legit developer like Craig, who many of us use, and obvious scammers who stole life savings from regular people.

Ridiculous.

[Craig Raw 🐦 @craigraw]

My attempt to protect users from scam apps on the @AppStore has gotten my Apple Developer account flagged for termination - ironically, for "dishonest activity".

Unless it's reversed by June 30, all new installs of Sparrow Wallet will fail, and development on macOS will end.

The context: since 2023, more than a dozen fake "Sparrow" apps have appeared on the App Store, as recently as April this year. Users have contacted me after losing their savings, in some cases their life savings, to these impersonators.

I'm the developer of the real Sparrow Wallet, a desktop app, and I hold the registered US trademarks for the name and logo. I have publicly warned @Apple and the community about these fake apps from early 2024, but they keep appearing.

The app @Apple flagged was a placeholder that was never published. Its only purpose was to warn users that Sparrow is desktop-only and that other "Sparrow" apps aren't mine. This approach may have been misguided, but there was nothing dishonest about it.

I'm confident this is an automated misclassification that Apple would reverse on review - but I may be terminated before a human ever looks at my appeal. The cost would fall on @Apple's own users: blocked installs and no updates for a tool people rely on, which opens the door for more fakes.

Little Bear is great. I can highly recommend it if you have children.

• Calm, slow scenes (not ADHD cutting between scenes).
• Wholesome setting (mother, father, child). Little Bear is gentle, well-adjusted, and respectful to his parents. Mother Bear is motherly and caring. Father Bear is a classical father (not the “silly dad” that you often see nowadays).
• Not overly saturated colours.
• Nice, calm music.

The “Federal Reserve” is a non govt bank that can create US dollars electronically out of thin air and then sets the interest rate to loan it to us.

5 of the last 8 federal reserve chairs were jewish and the current chairman is jewish.

[Nathan Covey @nathan_covey]

Officially 1 month since I switched to a flip phone.

- Everyone is more severely addicted to their smartphones than I thought. Once you have a dumbphone, you'll frequently find yourself as the only person in the room not on their phone. It's not just teenagers, it's parents and adults of all ages. It's like everyone is stuck in a trance. 75+ year olds might be the only exception.

- All the objections I previously had for getting a dumbphone have turned out to be overblown and/or solvable. My iPhone addiction had fed my brain excuses to not do this earlier. If you really want to make the switch, you can.

- I've felt embarrassed to pull out my flip phone in public at times, for fear of being different or drawing too much attention to myself. But I have learned to just own up to it. Most people end up saying something like "Oh, I probably should do that too."

- I am using my brain more. Even though my flip phone has Waze, I find myself memorizing maps and roads. I'm more bored and get lost in my thoughts. I'm using paper and pen more. Increased desire for tangible things > digital things.

Overall, it has been a great experience and I plan on never going back.

My basic thesis is that the Jews are a criminal people, and the Jews completely control the United States, and the Jews are using the United States as a vehicle to take over the world.

The odds of jews randomly filling 18/18 leadership positions are roughly 1 in 3.8 octillion.

If you bet a penny on that outcome you would win:

$38,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

— tens of TRILLIONS of times more than ALL the wealth on Earth combined.
