Democrats insisted the SEC keep full authority to police fraud and market manipulation in digital assets. We preserved it word for word. Senate Democrats killed the bill that protects investors from fraud.

We have some difficult news to share. Unfortunately, one of our shipping providers has experienced a data breach that exposed sensitive order data. This affects new customers in the US, UK, Sweden, Colombia, Brazil, Italy, and Portugal who received an order within the 90 days prior to August 8th, 2026. The data exposed: - Full names - Shipping addresses - Phone numbers - Email addresses The incident affects 11,742 customers with full exposure (name, email, phone number, shipping address) and 1,947 customers with partial exposure (name, city, email). The breach is limited due to Trezor’s strict 90-day data storage policy (we were also able to negotiate the same terms with fulfillment partners, who follow the same policy). All affected customers have been contacted separately by email. Our systems and devices remain secure, but affected customers could experience an increase in phishing attempts. NEVER enter your wallet backup on a website or share it with anyone, and only check for updates on official Trezor channels. We are deeply sorry to the community and those affected. We are investigating this situation and will post updates on our blog: trezor.io/blog/news/recent-c…

"Bitdeer reported $0.4 million of second-quarter SEALMINER sales revenue, down from $69.5 million a year earlier. Glagola said third-party demand had “effectively evaporated,” leaving Bitdeer to deploy more of its production into self-mining and co-mining operations." blockspace.media/insight/kbw…

Re: Cold Card Hack Hello fellow Bitcoiners, It’s been nearly one week since my wallet was drained. I lost my entire bitcoin stack, presumably the most in the entire attack - an amount I’m more than embarrassed and ashamed to even admit publicly. This was not only my life savings but my time, energy, hardcore conviction and identity after 13 years in this space. I am posting pseudonymously as I’ve always preferred to stay out of the spotlight - and privacy (inspired by Satoshi) is something I value. I debated whether or not I should say anything at all, but after much deliberation I decided it may be beneficial for other victims who are struggling. While this incident certainly forced upon me the darkest days of my life so far - I have now accepted it and will slowly put together my life again. I came from nothing and did everything right (except rolling the damn dice apparently 😅). I stayed away from trading, exchanges, shitcoins, ICOs, NFTs, false prophets, etc and quietly and consistently built up over the years through all the ups and downs - never spending frivolously on material goods but instead using bitcoin as my sense of freedom and security - with the hopes to pass it on to my future children. Even though that peace, freedom and security is now gone - I am beyond grateful for the journey and life that bitcoin enabled me to have. To all the other victims, as cliche as it is to say “it’s only money” - true wealth, as I’ve learned over and over again is in health, family, and friendships. I’d be lying if I told you I’m not afraid of the uncertainty ahead, but I know by taking one step at a time it will be possible to rebuild. Trust me if I can come to these realizations, you can too! The hardest challenges in life make us stronger and turn us into the best versions of ourselves - don’t give in to the hopelessness. By being in this community you are apart of something special that the majority of the world still hasn’t realized yet. It’s still early! Thanks to all the wonderful people in the community I’ve been DMing over the past week - your kind words of support mean the world to me and helped me start to believe in myself again. To the hacker: you still can do the right thing here and come clean - you have prompted a serious wake-up call that has brought the community together which will bring more resilience for the future. Doing the noble thing now will prevent a lifelong hunt. To all the amazing bitcoiners who have jumped to action from the very beginning to support each other and mitigate further damage - it’s been a beautiful thing to watch. To the @blocks team and especially @intangiblecoins, your efforts are inspiring and provide me with hope. Believe me when I say that IF I ever get my coins back you will all be taken care of very well, along with massive donations to the open source community. For now I will withhold any judgement towards @nvk and the @Coinkite team - while I’m still processing this loss and dealing with the gravity of building my life up from the ruins - I have 0 anger or resentment. Bitcoin security is a tough job, mistakes are made, and lessons are learned by all. I made mistakes by trusting and not verifying as well as not having a more robust security solution so the responsibility must be shared, hindsight is 20/20 and even though it’s tough: I’m okay admitting that. Bitcoin humbles all. Having said all that… I’M NOT FUCKING LEAVING!!! I will start building a new stack from the ground up like all the other plebs as my conviction in Bitcoin is even stronger today then when I got my first coins in 2013. This was never about the money - it was always about the revolution, and that can’t be stopped. We will win. Let’s keep our heads high. The march continues. It’s time to rebuild. PS: Thanks for everything Satoshi ❤️ -M

COLDCARD HACK FALLOUT WORSENS AS BITCOIN RED TEAM FINDS CRITICAL BUGS ACROSS ECOSYSTEM @glxyresearch estimates at least 15 different attackers are now exploiting the COLDCARD vulnerability, with new theft clusters still being identified. If your funds were stolen, report it to Galaxy’s @intangiblecoins. Even small victim reports help identify new attackers. One report involving less than 1 BTC led researchers to uncover a previously unknown attack that siphoned 12 BTC from 126 addresses. Meanwhile, Bitcoin developer @callebtc says an emergency Bitcoin Red Team is reviewing wallets, crypto libraries, and infrastructure, finding roughly one critical vulnerability per person per hour. The effort is burning through ~$10,000/day in AI tokens and compute, with funding provided by @OpenSats

Since Coldcard is destroying devices, does that mean the one we bought to protect our BTC donations for our nonprofit is becoming scarce, and can already be added as a historical artifact to our Bitcoin Museum? Swell job with, DON'T TRUST VERIFY 👊 (FYI All BDC funds are SAFU)
Why destroy affected inventory? COLDCARD has a series of high-security system locks. Once programmed, it cannot be re-upgraded until the user initializes it. We cannot ship units with affected firmware and risk users missing the upgrade. The safest action was to destroy all the affected inventory and ship only those with the new fixed firmware.

A hacker that stole BTC from supposedly some of the most secure hardware in the world is being approached by another crook wanting to help launder the stolen coins while the Bitcoin plebs affected by this are able to watch in real time on the bitcoin blockchain has to be one of the most unbelievable things to happen in Bitcoin history. If they were to put this much energy into positive things this world would be a better place. I do believe in KARMA, so whoever is doing this to so many innocent plebs in our community you'll get whats coming to u in the most least expected way! God don't like ugly.
COLDCARD THIEF RECEIVES $1 ON-CHAIN LAUNDERING PITCH The attacker’s largest consolidation address, holding 562 BTC, received a dust transaction containing an OP_RETURN message advertising laundering services for a 10% cut. The sender spent 0.002347 BTC, sent just 1,590 sats to the attacker and returned the rest to a change address. The ad cost roughly $1.30. The OP_Return message includes the Telegram handle of whoever sent the solicitation, which we will not publish. There is also no proof the advertised account is authentic. Most importantly, the stolen bitcoin still has not moved. This was someone approaching the attacker, not evidence the attacker is already laundering the funds.

Wonder what worse mess might have occurred if this Coldcard vulnerability happened in the middle of the upcoming BIP110 soft fork? One side saying MOVE your sats now, the other side saying DONT move any sats until the dust settles. 🤔
COLDCARD Mk3 Security Advisory If you generated a seed on a Mk3 after firmware 4.0.1, your funds may be at risk. Mk4, Q and Mk5 are not affected based on our early analysis. Read the advisory and migrate carefully: blog.coinkite.com/coldcard-m…

Replying to @KabutoKing_
Wow, U have spent ALOT of time and energy chasing after thousands of 1st edition Kabuto Pokémon card just to try to create scarcity. 5000 Kabuto collected so far (very impressive in itself). What puzzles me is AI informed me that there are a guesstimated 300,000 - 700,000 cards released in 1999. PSA data alone shows 5000 graded at Gem 10, 9 and 8 levels, and that does not include other grading companies like TAG, CGC, etc. All this hard work and energy and time and money dumped into collecting a card that even during a lifetime of collecting and $1 Million+ spent, u still wont put a dent into true scarcity. So much easier to just buy @btc_cards made by @based_cards its like getting into Pokemon in 1999 but for Bitcoin. They release true print numbers on every series in full transparency with amazing artwork that hold value. I don't work for them, I'm just a collector like u, but without losing as much time and energy. basedtradingcards.com/
