If you use a Coldcard hardware wallet, please pay attention. If you know someone who uses one, call them. Text them.

This appears to be one of the most serious wallet security incidents Bitcoin has seen.

If you're affected, don't wait. If you need help, reach out.

EDWARD SNOWDEN'S MASSIVE WARNING.

WHAT CHINA BUILT... IS EXACTLY WHAT WESTERN GOVERNMENTS ARE QUIETLY PREPARING FOR.

SNOWDEN IS CRYSTAL CLEAR:

EVERY PHOTO, EVERY PURCHASE, EVERY MESSAGE, EVERY MOVEMENT — ALL OF IT IS BEING FED INTO ALGORITHMS THAT DECIDE YOUR FUTURE.

IN CHINA, AI "CITY BRAINS" NOW TRACK:

WHERE YOU LIVE

WHO YOU VISIT

HOW YOU DISPOSE OF YOUR RUBBISH

EVERY STEP YOU TAKE IN PUBLIC

WHETHER YOU "FOLLOW RULES" OR NOT

BREAK A RULE?

A CAMERA CATCHES YOU FROM THREE ANGLES.

YOUR SCORE DROPS.
YOUR LIFE COLLAPSES.

SNOWDEN'S WARNING:

"IF ANY OF YOUR ACTIVITIES DIFFER FROM WHAT THE GOVERNMENT WANTS, YOU WON'T GET ON A TRAIN.

YOU WON'T BOARD A PLANE.
YOU WON'T GET A JOB.
AN ALGORITHM WILL DECIDE YOUR FATE.

AND WHAT THEY ARE SELLING... IS US."

THIS IS NOT A FUTURE THREAT.

IT IS HAPPENING NOW — IN SHANGHAI, IN BEIJING... AND CREEPING INTO THE WEST THROUGH DIGITAL ID, AI POLICING, AND "MISINFORMATION SCORING."

CHINA BUILT THE PROTOTYPE.

OUR GOVERNMENTS ARE IMPORTING THE BLUEPRINT.

STAY INFORMED.
STAY ALERT.
DO NOT LET THIS SYSTEM TAKE ROOT.

[Bitcoin for Freedom @BTC_for_Freedom]

- You: "My stocks went up 10%."

- Government: "Congratulations! That's taxable."

- You: "But inflation was 8%. I only really gained 2%."

- Government: "We tax the full 10%."

- You: "You tax the inflation you created?"

- Government: "Capital gains are capital gains."

- You: "So you profit from debasing my money twice?"

- Government: "You're not an economist."

[Adam Back @adam3us]

stop being retarded, fellow bitcoiners.

AI conspiracy confirmation slop is rotting your brains.

bitcoin development is robust, it doesn't need your "help".

fighting to erode or override IETF-like consensus process is a BAD IDEA, and will be forcefully rejected by the market.

@SimplyBitcoin @JAN3com To me, Samson Mow is like Peter Schiff, only with the claims inverted.

[Pesthoernchen 🐿️ @Pesthoernchen]

@invernessar @Wise @Wise From the outside the statement "we're closing your account, but we can't tell you why" sounds more like kindergarten than reputable business practice. At least show us that you also despise the regulation that forces you to make such embarrassing statements.

[Pesthoernchen 🐿️ @Pesthoernchen]

@Wise @msbahari Your job should be to transfer money. The police's job should be to evaluate suspicious transactions. You do both. That's disgusting.

AI (gemma4:12b) understands bitcoin better than most humans, and certainly better than most traditional media😂

@ipfire But can I also simply follow you here and stay up to date with IPFire?

@Hency_Heccu @redbullgaming @MedicCasts @Wirtual I'm glad that you and Trackmania found each other. I hope for more.

🚨 The UK says it wants to "protect children online"

Yet, forcing EVERYONE to verify their age won't stop harm - but put all of us under surveillance.

Today, we've signed an open letter together with @mullvadnet @torproject @mozilla & others to stop #AgeVerification in the UK 💪

[Pavel Durov @durov]

This is how the EU/UK now regulates social media:

🤐 Offer CEOs secret deals to censor dissent.
🚨 If they refuse, open criminal cases against them.
😑 When people push back, say it's "all for the children".

🎭 "Protecting children" has become the standard legal/PR cover.

[Anthony Salter @ViridianGames]

I'm doing a project based on an old RPG series called Ultima! I know there are lots of Japanese and European friends who know this series and might be interested, and now I can talk to them!

It's called Ultima VII Revisited and it's designed to turn Ultima VII into a true 3D RPG.

If you're from overseas and remember Ultima, let me know what you think!

If you care about financial privacy, then this is probably the most important research you will read all year.

The Dutch Court of Audits has released a paper on the effectiveness of AML measures, and lo-and-behold: it found that there is no evidence that AML actually works.

These laws are what are used to debank law-abiding citizens, throw developers in prison, surveil every transaction you make, and collect your identity in central databases that end up hacked.

Governments have built a complete and total surveillance dragnet around your finances under the guise of AML, and this Dutch Court just said the quiet part out loud:

AML is discriminatory, overly expensive, and we have no proof of it stopping crime.
