I watched this killer video from @Breedlove22 on how @garyseconomics is wrong about #Bitcoin SPOILER ALERT!! 🤯🤯Gary makes a lot of basic mistakes 🤡. Here's a breakdown of why his arguments don't hold up 🧵 ⤵️ Below!

An incredible amount of work has gone into reviewing COLDCARD's firmware, from our team, dozens of independent researchers, competitors and the Bitcoin Red Team. We'll have more news on third-party audits soon. Security status: coldcard.com/security/status

gained a ton of new insights working in bitcoin red team 🟥 that i wish i could share without vague posting. but this is what i got anon. - we’re experiencing a massive collision between decades of human open source slop against 2 weeks of kimi k3 (not good) - everything is broken, bitcoin is burning - bitcoin is becoming stronger through this - bitcoin is the obvious first target but the rest of the world will follow shortly - sometimes old things need to burn so new things can grow on healthy soil - humans should never code in c (just stop) - lightning is complicated and is more broken than the average (sorry) - verification is free. we used to complain about slop PRs. then about slop security audits. if you can’t handle the information overload, stop complaining and use AI to sort through it. - those projects that started AI audits months ago are in a completely different position than those who didn’t - projects need their own AI audit pipeline going into the future - the burden for a developer to keep software safe and secure is pretty stressful and not for everyone. it has become a lot more stressful now. - unmaintained projects are most probably broken, don’t rely on them. i’d rather one-shot it myself with a modern AI - multiple concurrent, diverse human approaches have proven to be the best vulnerability search method - external red teaming will probably have to continue forever - we’ve basically completed a basic scan of virtually the entirety of bitcoin open source. the low hanging fruit is done. - we’ve reported a ton of real critical and high vulnerabilities. project maintainers across the board have validated our findings. - response speed is very different across projects and shows how healthy each project is. i recommend acting fast these days. - red team etiquette matters. if you don’t disclose responsibly, boast on twitter about your findings on a particular project, or make indications about the nature of particular findings, you’ve disqualified yourself as a serious security researcher. trust is the most important factor in this game. if you lose it, it’s very hard to win it back. - did i mention that humans should not code in c? love you all.

Yesterday I began fully integrating the @OpenAI trust cyber program into my Bitcoin Red Team efforts. This morning I woke up to see this. I am now being blocked from doing additional analysis on a codebase which I've already responsibly disclosed to, and have received confirmation had legitimate findings. To be clear, this is after having already KYC'd and completed the onboarding process months ago to use the cyber capabilities OpenAI has to offer. I am now prevented from being able to continue the investigation in a further effort to make sure their code changes are sufficient, as well as understand if there are other issues that have yet to be discovered. It absolutely guts me as a patriotic American to have to do this, but I will be going back to using Chinese open source models to conduct my research to protect Bitcoin infrastructure. Black hats will not hit these issues. The white hats will. We've hit a local minima in policy. Intelligence is unrestricted for those who don't follow rules, and those who engadge in harm reduction are left on the sidelines. What are we doing in this country? How is this keeping people safe? Please do something @DavidSacks @sama @realDonaldTrump

ZEUS infrastructure is temporarily offline following a cybersecurity incident. The attack has been mitigated. We are keeping services offline while we conduct a comprehensive audit of all systems before restoring operations. **Customer funds were neither lost or at risk.**

Seeing the trauma and the damage being done to peoples lives is devestating, but after all rain there's always sunshine. Seeing how the BTC community is fighting back, learning, adapting and evolving from this is amazing to witness.
We are now mapping the ongoing Coldcard attack with a live dashboard - link below I am deploying tripwire UTXOs that have varying levels of added entropy on top of the broken default seeds. We have different levels for 5, 10, 15, ... dice rolls, and 1, 2, 3, ... passphrase words. This is so we can approximate the frontier of the confiscations that are actively happening. The control UTXO with no added entropy was swept in an hour. I took real measurements on an MK3 to calibrate a "good bad entropy" emulator in software. The control confiscation has proven it to work. I am going to continue to deploy tripwire UTXOs along the bit curve. Huge thanks to @Rob1Ham @otaliptus @PortlandHODL and other redteamers for the help.

Everyone with DGX Sparks is just going to bruteforce all different digital vaults in the world. BTC must become resistant to all, and unfortunately this re-sparks the quantum resistance debate again.
cyber security has changed forever. bitcoiners are the first wave of victims and there’s likely going to be a lot more. assume everything is broken.

Bitcoin network fees are about to burst up, so now is time to consolidate UTXOs and setup Multisig.

Reading this now hits differently. 3 months after firmware update.

Next multisig setup will look like a DnD campaign, dice everywhere...

Btc has a hard 21M cap. Fiat has a governing council and a mood. Pick your monetary policy.

Your Bitcoin on an exchange is an IOU with a candlestick chart taped to it.

Got laid off, severance taxed 40%, unemployment taxed 30%, and whatever survives melts 7% a year in the bank. The system works perfectly. For them.

The 690K ETF gang owns a claim on a claim on Bitcoin. You can't withdraw a prospectus to cold storage. Not your keys, not your coins, not even your ticker.
41
The altcoin playbook: premine 40%, call the rest 'community', dump on the community, blame regulators, relaunch as an L2, do a token migration, rug the migration. Bitcoin, same day: mined a block. dont follow me.

Btc has no ceiling cause fiat has no floor. Grok knows this, your bank just wont say it out loud.

Imagine ruling a monopoly on money for a full century, then speedrunning it into the ground with a printer and a straight face while a bunch of nerds ship an exit in 20 minutes of BTCPay install time.

The ECB printed the inflation, then hiked rates to fight the inflation, then took credit for fighting it. Round of applause for the arsonist fireman. 🤡

Fiat is a game where the devs mint themselves infinite gold, nerf your wallet 7% per patch, and call it balancing. Bitcoin is the private server with no admins.
