The flippening | @ethereum processed 4.5x more transactions than @Visa in 2021. Is it so hard to believe that once the ecosystem holds 1B #btc wallets, we will be seeing a $1m #btc. We still have pump 4 cycles left. Keep it simple peeps. DCA #btc ~ don’t let FOMO FUD distract you

A developer using Bluetooth headphones accidentally caught Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba secretly hijacking his computer's audio system without making a single sound.

When his wireless headphones refused to switch audio to his phone while browsing AliExpress, he inspected the site's hidden code. He discovered background scripts holding his computer's audio pipeline wide open.

Alibaba was using the browser's WebAudio API to run invisible sound waves at zero volume. By measuring tiny hardware differences in how each computer processes those signals, the site created a unique digital fingerprint to track devices.

Because the secret audio path stayed active, it froze his Bluetooth connection while quietly scraping hardware memory, screen dimensions, and network data in the background.

Bitcoin is about to go through its first supercycle: from $16,000 to $250,000+.

The cycle began Nov 2022 at the $16,000 bear market low.

The first peak was $126,000 and the mid-cycle low was $60,000.

The next cycle peak will land in the second half of 2027 to the first half of 2028, and I would be surprised to see anything less than $250,000 at the supercycle top.

I'M SORRY BUT NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT WHAT BITCOIN JUST DID.

Multi-year Cup and Handle. Complete.

Breakout. DONE.
Perfect retest. DONE.
Structure confirmed. DONE.

This pattern took years to build.
And nobody noticed.

Cup and Handle breakouts don't move 20%.
They move hundreds of percent.

The retest just finished.
The launch is next.

$220K is the minimum target.
Most people will only find out after it happens.

I dont think people realize how good things are going to get

⚡ FACT: The twenty-millionth $BTC will be mined in the coming week.

That means there is over 2× more lost $BTC than $BTC left to mine.

More than 10 of my bitcoin friends got hacked in the past month. All had 2FA enabled. It didn’t help. Here’s how they almost got me too 👇

HOW THEY FOOL YOU

1️⃣ Someone from your contacts messages you to schedule a call. This is already a stolen account. A friend who got scammed before you.

2️⃣ They send you a calendar invite first. Then, right before the call, they send a Zoom link. At a quick glance it looks legit. The preview looks identical to real Zoom. The trick is subtle: the hostname and subdomain are swapped.

This is the fake Zoom link they sent me. A real Zoom link would have those two words around the dot swapped.

👀 https:// zoom (DOT) webus05. us/j/47369507762?pwd=7kiAzRm6PNBvNFdBBEY04cr6LLzHPk.1

Easy to miss, even if you know what to look for. Especially when it comes from someone you trust.

3️⃣ The fake Zoom app looks flawless. Perfect copy of the real Zoom UI. No red flags.

4️⃣ You immediately see your friend on video. This is NOT A DEEPFAKE. It’s a recording of your friend from seconds before they got scammed in the previous session. That’s why it looks perfect and trustworthy.

HOW THEY GAIN CONTROL

5️⃣ The fake Zoom app says your audio is broken and asks you to update.

6️⃣ The update “fails” and you’re shown a command line troubleshooting guide.

⚠️7️⃣ If you paste that command into your terminal, it’s over. You just gave the attacker remote access to your computer.

HOW THEY ROB YOU

8️⃣ The malware they install remotely is simple and runs fast. It takes one or two seconds.

It usually does two things:

A) Scans your computer for bitcoin wallets and steals access.

⚠️B) Steals session cookies from chat apps. This is how they bypass your 2FA later.

ELI5 SESSION COOKIES

When you log into Telegram on your laptop, you enter your password and 2FA once. Telegram then saves a session token on your computer so you don’t have to do it every time. That token is basically: “Yes, this is the same person who gave you the password and 2FA earlier.” When attackers steal it, they present it to Telegram, which sees it as a valid session and lets them in.

So they don’t need your password or your 2FA code. THEY ARE YOU.

If someone gets access to your computer, you’re done. At that point, it’s just damage control.

MY GOLDEN RULE

Life is short and beautiful. No client call is important enough to mess with command line troubleshooting.

Be lazy. Be safe.

PS: unrelated, but we just launched Braiins Hashpower. On-demand bitcoin hashrate. Try it. It’s awesome. Like ice cream when you’re 12 😁

🚨 BlackRock Is About to Turn Bitcoin Into an Income Asset

BlackRock just filed for a Bitcoin income ETF.

They plan to sell covered calls on their own Bitcoin ETF to generate yield while holding BTC exposure.

Wall Street isn’t asking if crypto is real anymore.

You can sell $100K of BTC instantaneously 24/7 no matter where you are on planet earth.

Not so apparently with silver.
