I scanned my new @Bitkey hardware wallet with an NFC analyzer to see how it talks to your phone. Then I compared the scan against Bitkey's open-source firmware. Follow me down the rabbit hole! (and ty again @JoelBomgar for the generous gift)

Wearing Golden Dolly, a brand new release today by @lvneaperfume . To me, this smells like the last hot days of summer. Dry hay, sweet corn, golden grain, and warm grasses in the sun. I love how the maple sweetness slowly gives way to clover, wool, and a faint animalic musk, making it feel earthy and alive. It feels less like a perfume and more like standing in a sun-drenched field at the very end of summer. lvnea.ca/collections/eau-de-…

Coldcard was NOT an LLM enabled attack, people created seeds with weak entropy and had their weak seeds brute forced. Brute forcing is older attack than bitcoin itself. Don't allow yourself to be gaslit by this narcissist.

True character shows itself when things get tough.

Elizabeth Holmes built a $9 billion company on a single rule. Nobody gets to look inside the machine. Investors wired her $945 million without ever seeing audited financials or a working blood test. Rupert Murdoch alone put in $125 million. Henry Kissinger sat on the board. When anyone asked to verify the device, the answer was trade secrets. Which makes the title of her redemption film the darkest joke in it. You Can See Everything. 34 days before an 11 year prison sentence, she invited a camera crew to document her every move. And of every filmmaker alive, the one she let into her home was Nathan Fielder, a man who has spent 15 years proving that people perform for cameras and the performance is what gives them away. His method is sitting in silence until subjects fill it with things they shouldn't say. Media training is useless against that, because there's no question to deflect. Why would she agree to it? Because believing she can win any room is the trait that built Theranos in the first place. The voice, the turtleneck, the unblinking stare. That persuasion machine worked on four star generals and secretaries of state, and she aimed it at the one interviewer built to wait it out. Then the mechanism gets crueler. She reports to prison, where she can no longer speak for herself in any depth. The cameras keep rolling for three more years. Her husband gets the screen time. Control of her story slips outside her hands all over again, and other people fill the void. The fraud ran on making sure nobody saw anything. The comeback was a bet on letting one man see everything. She lost the story both times.

Here is official trailer, You Can See Everything

Had an "interview" for a blockchain project last week. Camera was on, we're chatting, and the guy tells me to clone a GitHub repo and run it locally before we go further into the technical round. I said sure, but first can you do me a favor hold up 3 fingers in front of your face for me real quick. He froze. Didn't move. Just sat there for a few seconds before the call cut off and he blocked me. That's when I knew. A real interviewer doesn't glitch out over a random ask like that. A deepfake/AI overlay does. These "run this repo" scams are getting scary common in crypto and dev hiring right now. The setup is always the same: - flattering DM - real-sounding project - rushed timeline - a "quick step" before the call that's really just remote access or a credential stealer in disguise. If someone wants you to run code or install something before you've even had a real conversation, that's the whole scam. Trust the instinct. Stay safe out there.

BBC reports that the BBC is censoring the BBC.

Yes. You are.

What happens to your Bitcoin if you lose your phone AND your hardware wallet? I stress-tested @Bitkey through a series of escalating disaster scenarios — including the company vanishing entirely. Find out what happened on @SOVsessions 👇️ piped.video/toT8kQbFvLY

If you’re a Bitcoiner coming to Montréal, do yourself a favour and visit Café DAX in Outremont. It’s not just somewhere you can spend Bitcoin. It’s one of those places I’d recommend regardless. Amazing coffee, wine, food, ice cream, live jazz, and a fantastic vibe. nitter.net/EclairBTC/status/21013…

The danger isn’t any one piece of data. It’s the quiet accumulation of seemingly harmless data across countless vectors — and what can be inferred once it’s all connected. That’s the slippery slope. We’re already sliding.

We invented a way to track what part of a store gets the most attention, using only traditional security cameras and a digital twin made with the phone in your pocket. Literally no extra hardware needed. Coming soon to @CactusXR.

Our approach to spending has been so ridiculously unstable and unsustainable for so long that A.I. ending the world is a solution.

Need to add @JAN3com and @Excellion to this meme. Right now, @AquaBitcoin is the only wallet actually helping stranded L-BTC holders get out — deploying Indra for L-BTC → Lightning swaps. Props to you guys. 👏 But everyone else… anything coming? @BULLBITCOIN_ @francispouliot_
