AI is changing how we work, but can it replace the human entrepreneur? Austrian economist Per Bylund, Senior Fellow at the Mises Institute, joins Spencer Nichols to explain why AI is a statistical engine that improves efficiency but can't imagine the future. He argues we're moving from an employment economy to an entrepreneurship economy, and explains what that means for jobs, innovation, and value creation.

A weekly news show informing you on the latest in Bitcoin, privacy and open source tech, hosted by Ungovernables, Max and Q.AOBMax: flooded the downstairs after leaving a sink running over the weekend, spent Saturday ripping out old timber and clutter he'd been meaning to clear out anyway, then a full kids' day that left them sick afterwardsQ: spent the weekend building his own local, voice-controlled AI assistant after watching the new Spider-Man filmQ: read this week's letter #7 from Keone, "Notes from the Inside", posted on The Rage -- a tough one on conditions moving between facilities; audio version out later this week, timed with Rick's Free Samurai prize drawQ: enjoyed last week's Freedom Tech Friday listener questions episode, ranging from Bitcoin to Monero to privacy, multisig and local AINEWSResearch lab [alloc] init, founded by Misha Komarov with Clara Shikhelman as Head of Protocol Research, published Shielded Bitcoin, a proposal for Zcash-style private transfers needing no soft fork; shielded transactions are encrypted data blobs carried in OP_RETURN or witness data that Bitcoin only orders and timestamps, while separate indexer software checks zero-knowledge proofs and stops double-spends; value sits in encrypted "notes" spent by publishing a one-time nullifier that proves the spend without revealing which note it is; the peg moving real BTC in and out isn't designed yet and rests on an unproven witness-encryption scheme called PIPEs v2; CoinDesk reports fees around 4x normal, a trusted setup and no launch date -- Bitcoin Magazine, CoinDesk, allocinitBlockstream published its own post-mortem of the 6 September Liquid exploit: a rangeproof-cache flaw dating to April 2018 ("Bug A"), responsibly disclosed 2 August and patched by 11 August, introduced a second flaw ("Bug B") where unprefixed cache keys let two different proofs collide; the attacker used it to mint about 4,000 unbacked LBTC and peg out 3,996 BTC through SideSwap, draining the reserve from about 4,205 BTC to 197 BTC; 3,400 BTC was returned and the network resumed 9-10 September, but about 602 BTC remains with the attacker and peg-outs stay paused with no date; the 11-of-15 federation multisig worked exactly as designed, the failure was in the software deciding what counted as a valid transaction -- BlockstreamBitget detected unauthorised transfers from its hot and warm wallets at 18:31 UTC on 24 September and froze withdrawals platform-wide; CEO Gracy Chen says the attacker compromised a backend system, spoofed transaction data and triggered Bitget's own approval process, with private key compromise ruled out; the loss was revised from $351.6M to about $387.5M once Zcash and TRON assets were counted, mostly ETH, TRX and USDT with no bitcoin taken; Circle and Tether froze about $318K, while roughly $83M in native XRP moved beyond Ripple's power to freeze; North Korea attribution comes from Bitget, Elliptic and MetaMask's Taylor Monahan, not yet from any government; Bitget says its User Protection Fund covers the loss and is reopening withdrawals in phases from 28 September -- CoinDesk, TFTC, Bitcoin Magazine, CoinDesk (freezes), CoinDesk (XRP), BitgetAMLBot traced part of the Bitget haul from TRX to USDT, bridged to Ethereum, swapped to about 145 ETH, then through THORChain into about 4.59 BTC, with roughly 4 BTC of that linked to an unnamed Wasabi coinjoin round and the addresses "blacklisted"; most of the stolen funds have not moved -- AMLBot on X, crypto.newsMatt Morehouse disclosed two denial-of-service bugs in Eclair v0.13.1 and earlier, fixed in v0.14.0: oversized feature-bit init messages could allocate about 300MB per message and crash a node, and zlib-compressed channel queries could inflate 64KB into 64MB; his smite fuzzer found the first, an LLM-assisted search for similar code patterns found the second -- Delving BitcoinLightning Labs published four security advisories: a High-rated bug let an invoice be marked settled after an interceptor had already cancelled the HTLC, affecting tapd 0.5.0 and earlier and lnd 0.18.4 to 0.18.5; three Low-rated DoS bugs covered a gossip stall, a panic on a malformed DNS seed response, and memory exhaustion from Brontide write allocations; nodes on current lnd (0.21.3 or 0.20.4) are unaffected -- Lightning Labs securityGalaxy's Alex Thorn disclosed that 52.37 BTC from weak-entropy Coldcard addresses, about 2.8% of the total taken and roughly $4.5M, had been moved into an address belonging to a Wyoming "Crypto Recovery Trust" carrying an OP_RETURN reading "claim:cryptorecoverytrust.com"; the trust says owners can reclaim coins by proving control, but the white-hats are unnamed and its legal documents are unverified -- CoinDeskSEC Commissioner Hester Peirce announced she resigns effective 2 October after nearly nine years to join Regent University School of Law, leaving the SEC with two Republican commissioners and no replacement nominee named; two days earlier, at SIFMA's Digital Assets Conference, she argued for replacing KYC document collection with zero-knowledge proofs and attribute-based credentials, telling regulators "we build ever bigger data haystacks on the theory that we will find a needle or two inside" -- CoinDesk, TFTC, TFTC (speech)New York Attorney General Letitia James and Governor Kathy Hochul sued Polymarket US in state court on 24 September alleging unlicensed gambling and underage betting, seeking at least $4.6B in fines; Polymarket moved the case to federal court and countersued, arguing the Commodity Exchange Act gives the CFTC exclusive authority; the next day a unanimous Sixth Circuit panel ruled Kalshi's sports contracts are subject to state gambling law, splitting with the Third Circuit and making a Supreme Court case more likely -- CoinDesk, CNBC, CoinDesk (Kalshi)BitMEX stopped trading, deposits and new positions at 04:00 UTC on 23 September after 11 years, with API withdrawals ending 28 September and website withdrawals staying open; from 1 October verified accounts with a balance pay the greater of 1% a year or $50 a month; owner HDR Global Trading cites a strategic review, with no legal or regulatory issues behind the closure -- CoinDeskThe x402 protocol, reviving HTTP 402 "Payment Required" for machine payments, merged Ben Carman's spec for paying with Lightning: the server issues a BOLT11 invoice whose description hash commits to the exact request, the client pays and returns the preimage, and the facilitator checks it against the payment hash and invoice signer without querying the receiver's node -- GitHub PR #2861RELEASESAm I Exposed v0.36.0 -- 2026-09-26Detects Whirlpool tx0 premix outputs and Wasabi 1.x coinjoins it previously missed or misgraded, and flags input-side address reuse as a leak instead of scoring it as good.Jam v2.0.0-beta.4 -- 2026-09-24Fourth beta of the JoinMarket web UI: adds Sign Message, pins the exact UTXOs shown when sweeping, and lets you freeze or unfreeze several UTXOs at once.Shhark v0.8.1-shhark-preview.5 -- 2026-09-12A self-hosted, privacy-focused Ark wallet preview adding optional Payjoin v2 on Signet, Tor-only networking that fails closed, Silent Payments and experimental post-quantum messaging.ZEUS v13.2.2 -- 2026-09-23Stable release embedding LND v0.21.3 with SATS Routing and Coinos as swap providers, plus a critical fix moving iOS wallet data out of iCloud-synced Keychain.Blockstream Green Android 5.7.0 -- 2026-09-24Adds manual coin selection filters, transaction notes and a price chart, and restores 2-of-2 and 2-of-3 multisig account creation.umbrelOS 2.0.0 -- 2026-09-22Stable release of Umbrel's home-server OS adding a Photos app, multiple user accounts, virtual machines, FailSafe RAID storage and a redesigned App Store.SignerOS v1.3.0 -- 2026-09-23Fixes a bug where one valid input in a multi-input transaction could make a fake change output look legitimate; every input is now checked against the actual cosigner keys.Blockstream Green Desktop 3.6.0 -- 2026-09-21Adds paying to Lightning addresses and LNURL-pay from the send flow, redesigns manual coin selection, and restores 2-of-2 and 2-of-3 multisig account creation.Everything ElseAmber v6.6.5 -- 2026-09-21Nostr signer: relay backups are now encrypted with a separate derived key, previously readable by any app with a remembered decrypt permission.Arkade TS SDK 0.4.76 -- 2026-09-25Developer SDK patch release for the Arkade (Ark) protocol, following 0.4.75 earlier in the week.Bisq Easy (Android) 0.14.1 -- 2026-09-26Security release: embedded Tor updated to 0.4.9.13, closing high-severity Tor issues, now built from Bisq's own Tor fork.Sister app: Bisq Connect 0.10.0 (2026-09-26), same Tor upgrade.Breez Spark SDK 0.26.0 -- 2026-09-23Adds receiving USDT and USDC, and instant or expedited claims for on-chain deposits.Cashu TS v4.11.0 -- 2026-09-22Backported fixes: melt preimages checked against the invoice hash, requests default to a 5-minute timeout, and closed subscriptions report an error.cln-nip47 v0.2.1 -- 2026-09-26Nostr Wallet Connect plugin for Core Lightning.

Government spending hasn't slowed, and Tim Draper says that leaves only two real outcomes: hyperinflation or interest rates high enough to break banks. In this Bitcoin Magazine Podcast conversation with host Spencer Nichols, the Draper Associates founder makes the case that every business should hold at least four weeks of operating expenses in Bitcoin, every individual about six months, and every government a Bitcoin hedge. He explains why he considers boards that hold zero Bitcoin to be exposed — legally and financially — when a bank holding their cash goes under. Draper also maps his $250,000 Bitcoin price target to the next halving and the supply shock that follows.

A weekly news show informing you on the latest in Bitcoin, privacy and open source tech, hosted by Ungovernables, Max and Q.AOBQ: short weekend trip to LisbonQ: Envoy v2.3.4 out -- stability and maintenance release; faster Bluetooth firmware updates for Passport Prime, bug fixes and further Tor connectivity improvementsQ: Legacy Mode beta for Passport Prime -- optional app porting Ledger's open-source device applications to KeyOS so users can manage alt coin holdings on open-source hardware; not installed by default, device stays Bitcoin-only if ignoredMax: bought a Stanley flask and a robot vacuum and mop combo NEWSCLARITY Act dies in the US Senate 49-50, eleven votes short of the 60 needed for cloture; every Democrat who voted said no, joined by Republicans Collins, Hawley and Moran; the final text dropped the explicit criminal protection for non-custodial developers against 18 USC 1960 charges -- the same law used against the Samourai and Tornado Cash developers -- keeping only civil protections; Senator Lummis warned failure leaves no realistic chance this decade; the SEC and CFTC immediately signalled unilateral rulemaking -- CoinDesk, Newsweek, TFTC, The Rage, TFTC, Coin CenterTwo days after the CLARITY Act failed, the CFTC sent a pre-rule rulemaking titled "Regulation Crypto Asset Transactions and Regulation Crypto Asset Markets" to the White House for review; contents are not public but expected to create a path for crypto spot exchanges to operate under CFTC oversight; prepared in advance and filed immediately once Congress failed to act -- PYMNTS, CoinDesk, The DefiantCFTC Staff Letter 26-25 extends to all qualifying developers the no-action relief Phantom received in March; software that passes user orders to CFTC-registered futures firms without holding assets, generating signals or controlling routing does not need to register as an introducing broker; not law, can be withdrawn at any time, and does not protect wallet developers from DOJ money-transmission charges -- TFTC, CFTCThe FCA, HMRC and Metropolitan Police raided three London premises on September 10 targeting unregistered peer-to-peer crypto trading operations and issued cease-and-desist letters at all three; the FCA says not a single P2P crypto business is registered in the UK; the second coordinated enforcement action this year, following raids across eight locations in April which are now feeding criminal investigations; the UK's full crypto regime begins October 2027 -- CoinDeskHodl Hodl shipped "enhanced bitcoin security scoring" on September 18 that checked incoming bitcoin for red flags and blocked trades with a bad score; after user backlash Anna from the team posted on September 19 that they got it wrong, it shipped without warning and was explained poorly, and it is now disabled; if it returns in any form it will be disclosed beforehand; scoring coins for red flags is taint analysis, and Hodl Hodl's position holding one key on every 2-of-3 multisig trade is what makes this kind of screening possible -- Hodl Hodl on X, Anna (Hodl Hodl) on XThe Rage argues the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve created by Executive Order 14233 may exist only on paper; no reserve office appears in Treasury's public org chart or the 2025 Fiscal Report; Bloomberg reported in July that Treasury and Commerce were still disputing who has authority to run it; the House Financial Services Committee advanced the ARMA bill 28-21 on September 16 ordering agencies to keep custody of their bitcoin until the reserve is "fully established and certified operational"; a FOIA request for records on the reserve office is still pending -- The RageLiquid peg-outs remain paused two weeks after the $320M exploit; 3,400 BTC was returned and blocks resumed September 10 but 598.5 BTC remains with the attacker; the federation says peg-outs will resume only after 1:1 backing is confirmed and software updates and independent security reviews are complete, with no date given; L-BTC holders can only sell or swap through services like AQUA's Indra where liquidity is limited -- Liquid_BTC on X, Liquid incident reportJAN3 launched Indra on September 15, its own Lightning-Liquid swap backend for AQUA, after Boltz suspended service in August following sustained AI-assisted attacks; for now it only handles Lightning sends paying invoices from L-BTC, with receiving to follow; JAN3 replicated the Boltz API signatures so it can act as a drop-in replacement; about three hours after launch Indra was hit by a DoS attack and forward swaps were temporarily disabled -- JAN3, Stacker News, Samson Mow on XCLN operators are advised to disable experimental features after a suspected dual-fund channel drain; on September 12 a node operator reported a peer opened a dual-funded channel, drained most of his liquidity and went offline, with the funding txid his node recorded not existing on-chain; on September 15 Core Lightning issued a security advisory urging all operators running experimental features to disable them; at least two more operators have since reported losses; no patched release has shipped -- GitHub issue #9498, CLN collaborator comment, Core Lightning advisoryA pull request by Roasbeef would change the BOLT11 spec so readers must reject invoices containing more than one payment hash; a popular Telegram P2P bot was recently hacked through this ambiguity because some libraries took the first payment hash and others the last, allowing a system mixing both to be tricked into thinking a withdrawal was never paid out -- GitHub PR #1357Lightning wallet Blink paused all services on September 19 after an attacker drained a limited number of custodial accounts; "a few dozen" custodial accounts were affected, every affected account will be made whole, and non-custodial wallets were untouched; a patch was deployed and services came back online the same afternoon; the attack path is unknown pending a post-mortem -- Blink on X, Bitcoin.com News, TFTC on XLondon-based crypto infrastructure provider Haruko was hit by a targeted attack affecting 15 clients -- all those without an IP whitelist; attackers exploited a flaw in Haruko's own processes to extract a user-access token exposing exchange API details and trading data; three sources say a small amount of client funds was stolen, mainly from smaller hedge funds -- CoinDeskSwiss Bitcoin Pay, a non-custodial Bitcoin and Lightning payment processor, took its servers offline on September 14 after a malicious user likely accessed its internal systems; customer email addresses, bitcoin addresses, IBANs, transaction histories and hashed passwords may have been exposed; user funds are safe and any amounts owed will be returned in full; servers remain offline as of today with no restore date -- Bitcoin Magazine, FinanceFeedsUpdate on the Revolut breach: attackers used a hacked email account on a real Italian government domain to send fake law enforcement data requests; at least 680 customers are affected, targeted for their crypto holdings via blockchain analysis; on September 16 the group demanded 6,000 XMR (~$3M) within 24 hours or it would sell the data; the deadline passed, Revolut says it has had no direct contact, and Italian police and UK regulators are investigating; samples have already been posted on Telegram -- CoinDesk, SecurityWeek, CyberInsiderRELEASESHighlightsCake Wallet v6.4.5 -- 2026-09-20Smooths out the Trezor hardware wallet connection and transaction signing flow. Speeds up Monero background sync with more stable node connections. Includes UI polish and bug fixes.umbrelOS 2.0 Beta 2 -- 2026-09-17Second beta of the umbrelOS 2.0 major rewrite.

Morgan Stanley became the first global systemically important bank to launch a spot Bitcoin ETP and it crossed $600 million within months of its April debut. Amy Oldenburg, Head of Digital Assets at Morgan Stanley, joins host Spencer Nichols to explain how that product came together, why it was priced below competing spot Bitcoin ETFs, and what still stands between clients and their first Bitcoin allocation. She also details the firm's 0–4% allocation framework across three investor risk profiles and why Morgan Stanley has no equivalent gold allocation. Plus: whether Bitcoin could land on Morgan Stanley's own balance sheet.

When the Treasury doubled its bond buyback out of the blue, the market read it as one thing: yield curve control by another name. Arthur Hayes joins host Spencer Nichols to walk through the mechanics, short-end issuance funding long-end buybacks, and what that implies for central bank balance sheets. His conclusion is simple. If the balance sheet expands, you want the asset most responsive to money printing, and he argues that asset is Bitcoin.

Thousands of careful Bitcoiners just got wiped out by a Coldcard entropy bug, and I use this episode to push back hard on the idea that self-custody is dead, and "don't trust, verify" failed us. I walk through the brutal history of centralized custodial failures, explain why "holding your own keys is still orders of magnitude safer, and extract three real lessons from this recent disaster. This is about keeping perspective, learning the right lessons from pain, and making Bitcoin self-custody stronger, not weaker.

Trump hit Canada with 50% tariffs on $20 billion in goods after trade talks collapsed an hour before the deadline. Mark Carney says Canada is "at war" and retaliates September 8. Bitcoin doesn't need a deal.The tariffs came through Section 338 of the 1930 Tariff Act - a statute that had never once been used to impose a tariff in 96 years. It needs no vote in Congress, carries no expiry date, and applies to CUSMA-compliant goods anyway. Two days earlier Trump posted that the two countries "have a DEAL." Sunday morning he was back to calling Canada a state that wants the benefits without the membership. Joey and Len break down what a permanent, unreviewable tariff power means for a country whose entire economy runs through one border - and why every story in this episode points at the same thing: the rules can change overnight when your money answers to somebody else.In this episode of the Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast:50% Section 338 tariffs hit $20B of Canadian goods, roughly 5% of everything Canada ships southCarney's "you're at war when you get attacked" press conference and the September 8 dollar-for-dollar retaliation listWhy the trucks fight, not dairy, is what actually blew up the deal at Oakville and OshawaTrump revives the 51st state line hours after the tariffs landNew Hampshire caps Bitcoin ATM buys at $2,000 a day - and the cap follows residents to kiosks in every other stateThe SEC proposes Regulation Crypto Assets: $75M/year retail token sales, self-certified exits, zero dissents on a commission with no dissenters leftMetaplanet drops 2,100 BTC into a $5M Nasdaq shell four days after MSCI threatens to delete it from global indexesBitcoin and ether ETFs pull $2.6 billion in the strongest inflow week since OctoberCanadian Bitcoiners PodcastWebsite: https://canadianbitcoiners.comSubscribe and turn on notifications - new episodes live Monday nightsA tariff with no expiry date and no congressional vote is the same lesson as a bail rule that sorts by bank balance and an ATM cap that follows you across state lines: permission you were granted can be withdrawn.

Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan joins host Spencer Nichols on the Bitcoin Magazine Podcast to analyze why market apathy and "boring" price action often signal a major Bitcoin bottom. The pair dive into Bitcoin's role as a call option on a changing global monetary order, unpacking how macroeconomic uncertainty, fiscal debt, and real-world asset tokenization drive long-term value.

A bi-weekly news show informing you on the latest in Bitcoin, privacy and open source tech hosted by Ungovernables, Max and Q. THIS IS THE TWEET Q WANTS YOU TO SEE: https://x.com/justh0dl/status/2086202393998291138AOBWhat a fucking weekKeyOS v1.3.1 now publicly availableSomething exciting to share on Friday's FTF (delayed by 2 weeks)NEWSThe Coldcard entropy catastropheSources: Coinkite technical backgrounder / The Rage, L0la L33tz / TRM Labs / coldcard.rip / cktripwire.com / Bitcoin Magazine victim surveyEXPLAINERThe largest self-custody theft on record, and it traces back to a single wrong conditional. In March 2021 a build guard checked whether Coldcard's hardware random number generator was defined rather than whether it was enabled, so seed generation silently fell back to a deterministic software PRNG. Every seed made on an affected device from that point carried roughly 40 bits of entropy on Mk2 and Mk3, and about 72 on Mk4, Mk5 and Q, instead of the intended 128. That is guessable. Someone did the maths offline, derived the addresses, checked them against the public chain, and swept everything with a balance. Somewhere between 1,400 and 1,800 bitcoin gone, depending on whose forensics you trust, with a median victim loss of one BTC. The part people keep missing: updating the firmware does not fix an existing seed. A weak seed is weak forever.ACTION FOR LISTENERSMove funds to a brand new seed BEFORE upgrading firmware (Lopp's guidance, on reports of update problems).Use high fees. If you see your own coins in the mempool, the attacker opted into RBF and you can outbid them. Window is minutes.Multisig users: consider a private mempool like Marathon's Slipstream.Keep the device; the UID may prove ownership in any recovery process.Updating does NOT fix an existing seed. A weak seed is weak forever.You are exempt only if you added 50+ fair independent private dice rolls, or used a strong unique BIP39 passphrase stored separately.BTCPay Server: unauthenticated LND macaroon theft, actively exploitedSources: BTCPay security advisory / v2.4.2 release / CoinDesk / TFTCCRITICAL FRAMING NOTE: this is ONE story, not two. The "BTCPay bug" and the "LND credential exploit" are the same event. The vulnerability is the macaroon leak. The Aug 8-9 wave of coverage is follow-up hardening, not a new incident. Do not present them separately.REMEDIATION (updating alone is NOT enough)Update to v2.4.2. Verify "2.4.2" in the footer.Update NBXplorer to 2.6.10+.Revoke and regenerate LND macaroons. Updating stops new theft but does nothing about already-stolen credentials. Deleting files is insufficient; the macaroon root signing key must be destroyed at node level. v2.4.2 does this automatically for standard Docker deployments. Custom reverse proxies, separate Tor services or port forwarding must rotate manually.Move funds out of any BTCPay-generated on-chain hot wallet and recreate it.Update LND to 0.21.1. Audit for unrecognised channel closures, unknown peers, unexplained balance changes.SIDE EFFECT WORTH FLAGGING: v2.4.2 removes public LND API access on Docker deployments, which breaks remote wallet connections such as Zeus connecting to your own BTCPay node. Intentional, no restoration timeline published.BREAKING CHANGE: Greenfield Basic authentication disabled by default five minutes after account creation (#7492). BTCPay: "We are not aware of any user impacted by this breaking change, as API Keys authentication is generally used."Boltz suspends all swaps indefinitelySources: Boltz statement / canary.boltz.exchange / The Defiant / TFTC / Bull Bitcoin statementCORRECTION TO THE COMMON FRAMING: Boltz has not shut down. It suspended swap services indefinitely. And the canary sequence runs the opposite way to the rumour: lapsed → suspended → renewed clean.The Bitcoin Red TeamSources: Calle and Rob Hamilton on Nostr/X / Bitcoin Magazine / CoinDesk / TFTC / OpenSats Red Team FundSUMMARYThis is the story that explains the other four. After the Coldcard exploit, Calle and Rob Hamilton pointed frontier AI models at the open-source Bitcoin stack and started auditing everything. In 108 hours, 25 developers scanned 501 projects and produced 7,958 findings, 1,280 of them rated high or critical, at a compute cost north of 58,000 dollars. They found the BTCPay bug's neighbours, and Boltz cited exactly this dynamic when it switched itself off. The uncomfortable symmetry is that the same capability doing the defending is what an attacker almost certainly used on Coldcard in the first place. And the bottleneck turns out not to be finding bugs, it is telling anyone: only 19.5% of the projects they scanned even have a SECURITY.md file, and only 13.1% list a security contact. The scanners move at machine speed. Responsible disclosure is still hunting around for an email address.BIP-110: the fork that mined two blocks and frozeSources: bip110monitor.com / Peter Todd code review / Aaron van Wirdum, Bitcoin Magazine / Lopp's Layman's Guide / Saylor essay / CoinDeskRELEASESBitcoin core / protocollibsecp256k1 v0.8.0 - 2026-08-03Adds a native Silent Payments (BIP-352) module directly into the crypto library nearly every self-custody wallet builds on, plus up to ~11% faster signature verification. Quietly the most consequential positive release of the fortnight: it lowers the bar for every wallet to ship reusable static receive addresses.Bitcoin Knots v29.4 - 2026-08-08Non-urgent maintenance: fixes a chainstate DB bug causing repeated large rewrites, and adds corruption-detection safeguards around BIP-110 mandatory signaling. No critical fixes. (No Bitcoin Core release in window; latest is v31.1 from 2026-07-08.)Hardware / signingColdcard Firmware 4.2.0 (Mk2/Mk3) - 2026-08-03The patch for the entropy catastrophe. Affected ranges: Mk2/Mk3 4.0.1 through 4.1.9; Mk4/Mk5 all before 5.6.0; Q all before 1.5.0Q. Companion fixes shipped the same day: 5.6.0 Mk4/Mk5, 1.5.0Q, 6.6.0X Edge, 6.6.0QX Edge Q. Updating does NOT fix an existing seed - changelog says Mk3 users "must regenerate any seeds made on earlier versions as their entropy is critically low at just ~40 bits." TAPSIGNER, OPENDIME and SATSCARD unaffected.Krux 26.08.0 - 2026-08-04Maintainer odudex is stepping down and the project may be archived. "Krux was not created by me: Jeff started it and passed it on to me, and now it is my turn to pass the torch." On succession: "Krux may be carried on by another maintainer, if a proof-of-work backed Krux contributor accepts the role. Otherwise the Krux project will be put in sunset mode and gracefully archived in a few months." Cause is hardware, not drama: "K210 chips are no longer produced, and Canaan dropped the Kendryte line entirely." Substantial release regardless: fixes a heap buffer overflow in the camera entropy module, adds stricter PSBT fee-calculation checks, replaces the Python UR stack with a faster C module, and makes Krux Installer fully offline.Frostsnap v0.3.0 - 2026-08-05FROST threshold-signing device ships reproducible/deterministic builds and "a fresh release signing key as part of an overhauled release-signing pipeline." Well timed in a fortnight where "can you verify what is running on your signer" is the whole conversation. Catch: the new key breaks in-place Android updates, so direct-APK users must uninstall, reinstall, and re-visit their threshold devices to restore.Trezor Suite v26.7.4 - 2026-08-04Lowers minimum Normal-priority fee rate to 0.2 sat/vB and ships updated Safe 7/5/3 and Model T firmware with security improvements.BitBoxApp 4.51.4 - 2026-08-07Bundles new BitBox02 firmware v9.26.5.Specter Desktop v2.1.11 - 2026-08-09Genuinely security-relevant: adds auth and CSRF protection to the HWI bridge settings, restores validation of active API tokens so revoked JWTs are rejected, and warns that Specter's auth layer does not encrypt the data folder.

Over $120 million in Bitcoin has been drained from Coldcard hardware wallets and the attack is still ongoing. Alex Thorn, Head of Firmwide Research at Galaxy, joins Spencer Nichols to break down exactly how the critical entropy bug in Coldcard's 2021 firmware was exploited, how he's tracing stolen funds on-chain, and what victims must do right now to have any chance of recovery. Thorn also explains why multisig and collaborative custody may be the only responsible path forward for Bitcoin self-custody.

The government keeps getting robbed of its own Bitcoin and a new bill wants to fix that. The BPI team breaks down the American Reserve Modernization Act (ARMA): what it would do for Treasury custody standards, why it has Democratic co-sponsors, and why they're bullish it could pass the House. They also cover the wave of digital-asset departures shaking up DC, from Hester Peirce to Paul Grewal. They also cover Kimi K3, China's open-source push, and the data center fight.

Everyone keeps asking what the "big catalyst" for Bitcoin will be, but Coinbase's Head of Institutional Strategy John D'Agostino says that's the wrong question entirely. In this episode, host Spencer Nichols digs into why proven technology runs on micro catalysts, how regulatory clarity and the market structure bill could accelerate institutional adoption, and what the GENIUS Act already changed. D'Agostino also breaks down why roughly 40 countries are exploring Bitcoin on their balance sheets.

Is the U.S. really about to buy Bitcoin? Kraken co-CEO Dave Ripley tells Spencer Nichols why a U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserve could happen within the next 12 months, based on discussions happening at the state and federal level. He unpacks sovereign adoption, tokenization, and the market-structure shift underway across crypto and traditional finance.

Is China's open-source AI strategy a values shift or a game-theoretic bluff? On this episode of The Bitcoin Policy Hour, the BPI team argues it's the latter and explains what happens when Chinese chips catch up to Nvidia. They dig into the Dean Ball vs. David Sacks debate over regulating Chinese models, "FINRA for AI," and the commoditization of intelligence. Plus: the first hearing on the American Reserve Modernization Act and the future of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.

Why are Bitcoin miners suddenly at the center of the AI infrastructure boom? Fred Thiel, CEO of MARA, explains "mullet data centers" — AI in the front, Bitcoin mining in the back — and why power is the bottom layer of Jensen Huang's AI pyramid. He details MARA's joint venture with Starwood, load-balancing technology that follows wind power in real time, and lessons from Bitcoin mining that now apply to hyperscale data centers.

Armin Sabouri recently demonstrated how wallet fingerprints can be used to decompose payjoin transactions and recover payment amounts, and in this episode he explains what that means for privacy tools across the board. Shinobi and Armin discuss why standardization efforts like BIP 69 backfired, whether randomization can help, and how wallets can stop standing out on-chain. Grab your copy THE 2036 ISSUE

AI is officially a national security issue and Washington is moving fast. The Bitcoin Policy Institute's Zack Cohen, Zack Shapiro, and Ken Egan break down Palantir and Nvidia's sovereign on-prem AI architecture, OpenAI's government-coordinated 5.6 rollout, and reports that Beijing may curb exports of China's top AI models. Then Zack Shapiro lays out his highest-conviction thesis: the biggest AI fortune won't be made by frontier labs, but by the people who help industry actually absorb the technology. Plus, a major CLARITY Act update as law enforcement opposition softens on Capitol Hill.

Quantum computing timelines are shrinking faster than most Bitcoiners realize and the latest Google research just made the attack 20x easier. Shinobi sits down with Ethan Heilman, research fellow at MIT's DCI lab, to separate quantum panic from quantum reality. They cover Q-day timelines, why algorithmic breakthroughs are the scariest threat, and how BIP 360 and post-quantum signatures could protect the network. Grab your copy THE 2036 ISSUE

"If you don't think you can beat Bitcoin, you should just buy Bitcoin." That's the philosophy powering Strive's rise to a top-10 corporate Bitcoin holder. CEO Matt Cole joins us backstage to unpack Bitcoin as the hurdle rate, the economics of digital credit, and why Bitcoin treasury companies are entering a period of consolidation with only a few dozen winners. He also shares the most wrong he's ever been about Bitcoin and it's not what you'd expect. Use code BM10 to get 10% off Bitcoin 2027 Conference in Nashville: https://2027.b.tc

"They're funding institutional businesses with lower interest rates by stealing from retail and they don't want you to know this." BitGo CEO Mike Belshe criticizes the traditional banking system in this episode of the Bitcoin Magazine Podcast. He explains why depositors earn 0% while the risk-free rate sits near 4%, how bank failures like SVB keep happening, and why stablecoins and reserve banks offer a safer path forward. Plus: his response to Elizabeth Warren's attack on OCC trust charters.

Threshold signatures are coming to Bitcoin, but getting them right is harder than it looks. Nadav Kohen of Chaincode Labs walks through his work proving nested MuSig is secure, the road toward FROST-style thresholds, and his upcoming scheme codenamed "Iceberg." He breaks down the famous Alice, Bob, and Carol 2-of-3 example and shows why the obvious approach actually leaks secrets. Grab your copy THE 2036 ISSUE

Is the Bitcoin treasury boom good or bad for Bitcoin? Could it be the next big bear-market blowup? River's Alex Leishman gives his honest, measured take alongside host Brandon Green in this bear-market check-in. They cover store of value vs. medium of exchange, why Bitcoin payments still don't beat Apple Pay, and why stablecoins are really just a workaround for broken dollar rails.

Every popular stablecoin — Tether, USDC — is ultimately backed by US Treasuries, which means a handful of entities can freeze, seize, or censor your funds at will. In this conversation, David Seroy of Alpen Labs explains to Bitcoin Magazine's Shinobi why a Bitcoin-backed stablecoin is the credible alternative the space has been missing. They cover the immutable Liquity protocol, Bitcoin ZK rollups, and how to mint a dollar that inherits Bitcoin's security.Grab your copy THE 2036 ISSUE

Is Bitcoin a cult? Comedian Ryan Long asks the questions most people are too embarrassed to say out loud. In this candid interview from the Bitcoin Conference, Ryan riffs on Michael Saylor, Bitcoin treasury strategy, risk tolerance, and why he'd rather throw his phone in the river than track his portfolio.

With the July 4th deadline closing in, the odds of getting BRCA passed in a form the industry can accept are looking worse by the week. Ken Egan, Zach Cohen, and Zach Shapiro break down where the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act and the broader CLARITY Act stand, why the opposition has had too much time to rally, and what the final software-developer protections might actually look like. They also unpack Illinois' first-of-its-kind 0.2% digital-asset "privilege tax" and what it signals for self-custody.

With U.S. debt now exceeding 100% of GDP, Senator Cynthia Lummis argues the country can't afford to ignore Bitcoin. In this Bitcoin Magazine podcast conversation with host Spencer Nichols, she lays out why a strategic Bitcoin reserve could be America's "Louisiana Purchase moment" and how holding it long term might meaningfully reduce the national debt. She also breaks down the Clarity Act timeline and the legislation racing through Congress.
