This is an emergency update for Bitcoin holders using affected Coldcard wallets. We explain who may be at risk, the immediate steps users should take, and why acting carefully is just as important as acting quickly. If your wallet could be affected, don't panic, but don't wait.SPONSORS✅ Lednhttps://www.nmj1gs2i.com/9W598/9B9DM/?source_id=podcastSimply Bitcoin clients get 0.25% off their first loanNeed liquidity without selling your Bitcoin?

One of the biggest security incidents in Bitcoin history has shaken confidence in self custody after vulnerable Coldcard-generated wallets were drained on chain. This episode explains what happened, who may be affected, what users should do immediately, and why this isn't the end of self custody but the beginning of a higher security standard for every Bitcoiner.SPONSORS:
The government promised you clarity on Bitcoin. What you actually got: developers in handcuffs, a "strategic reserve" built on an executive order — not a law, not an act, not an amendment — a CLARITY Act riddled with national security carve-outs and an ethics clause that nearly torched the whole thing, and a DOJ quietly deploying Minority Report-style pre-crime AI to flag your wallet before you've done anything wrong. In this episode, Rustin breaks down the Samourai Wallet prosecution, the Tornado Cash verdict, the GrapheneOS border case that proves your phone is a battlefield, and NSPM-7 — then connects every dot to the one thesis they don't want you to reach: you cannot indict a protocol, you cannot arrest mathematics, and every act of state repression against Bitcoin builders is the most powerful Bitcoin adoption campaign the government never meant to run. Stack accordingly.SPONSORS✅ Lednhttps://www.nmj1gs2i.com/9W598/9B9DM/?source_id=podcastSimply Bitcoin clients get 0.25% off their first loanNeed liquidity without selling your Bitcoin?

A serious vulnerability affecting some Bitcoin wallets has put certain Bitcoin holders at risk, but this isn't a failure of Bitcoin or self custody.

The Last Trade: an emergency episode. Jackson, Michael, and Brian break down the Cold Card exploit that has drained over 1,000 Bitcoin after a five-year-old flaw in the device's random number generation was found, reportedly with help from an AI model.

Anthony Fauci's repeated Fifth Amendment response opens a deeper question: was 2020 only a public-health emergency, or did a frozen economy become the shock absorber for one of the largest liquidity events in modern U.S. history? We follow the bond-market warning, collapsing money velocity, and the threat of a third big print to uncover what they could mean for inflation, capital flows, and Bitcoin. If the next crisis has no shock absorber, where can your savings still hide?SPONSORS

The Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast - Bitcoin News With a Canadian Spin
Nine of the biggest names in finance put up $15 million between them. IBM alone is spending $10 billion.On July 23 the Bitcoin Security Consortium launched: BlackRock, Coinbase, Strategy, Block, Blockstream, Anchorage Digital, ARK Invest, Fidelity Digital Assets and Galaxy, pledging $15 million over three years for post-quantum research. There is no pooled fund and no governance role over the protocol — every firm writes its own cheques, and Brink's Mike Schmidt coordinates the whole thing as an unpaid volunteer. Joey and Len take the obvious objection seriously and then take the other side seriously too, because that structure was built specifically to make capture harder, not easier.The number everyone will repeat is 6.9 million BTC — roughly $460 billion — sitting in address types a working quantum computer could empty. That's a Google Quantum AI estimate, and estimates vary widely: other researchers put the exposed share anywhere from 20% to 50% of supply. No such machine exists. Adam Back says decades. Project Eleven's CEO says 2029 worst case, 2033 base case.Then: Jack Mallers walks away from Twenty One Capital and the treasury model keeps coming apart — Satsuma liquidating all 668 BTC, Sequans down more than 80%, Strategy selling 3,588 coins to fund a dividend. And CertiK's numbers on physical attacks against holders, including Canada's own file.Plus Clown World North: a Vancouver council hearing took public comment from Los Angeles, Ottawa waived the reporting requirements on a $12.1 million grant that has produced zero excavations in five years, and Alberta pulled a 2.4-pound goldfish out of a stormwater pond.The Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast - New episodes weekly.X: https://x.com/CanadianBTCPodJoey: https://x.com/joeytweeetsLen: https://x.com/thebtcpricebotSite: https://canadianbitcoiners.com#Bitcoin #BitcoinSecurity #Quantum #Canada

"Stability is destabilizing." -Hyman MinskyBDCs are already cutting dividends. Blackstone, Blue Owl, and KKR are gating redemptions. The credit cycle signal is flashing — and almost nobody is watching it.There's a corner of the NYSE that nobody in crypto Twitter or macro Twitter is paying attention to. And it's insane to me — because if you want to know where the credit cycle is breaking, this is where you see it first.BDCs. Business development companies.They're sitting right there, publicly traded, yielding 12-13%. And almost nobody is watching them for the right reason.In this episode, Wasabi, Lux, Boomer, and Hal break down exactly what BDCs are, why they're the public window into a private credit market that's almost entirely dark, and why the signal is no longer hypothetical — the VanEck BDC Income ETF just cut its distribution in half, and Blackstone, Blue Owl, FS KKR, Apollo, Ares, and Morgan Stanley have all imposed redemption gates on their non-traded BDC vehicles. Investors trying to get their money out can't.This isn't a forecast. It's a current event.We walk through the full framework: what BDCs are, who borrows from them, why the structure forces transparency that private credit funds don't have, and how to use the dividend cut signal as a leading indicator for the broader credit cycle. One cut — note it. Two — pay attention. Three or more in the same quarter — deploy.This episode is free. Share it with someone who watches markets.SharePaid subscribers get:→ The daily market report — live BTC and ETH prices, macro color, fear & greed, and a straight read on what's actually moving→ Private Discord — talk through trades and theses directly with Hal and Lux. Not a community. Not a server with 10,000 people. A small room with the people who made this episode. And people like you.If you found this useful, the upgrade is worth it.subscribeDisclaimer on BCD's signal - while this podcast is fun this signal does not out perform buy and hold in back tests: The contrarian backtest completed. Here's the verdict:90 trades, 17.7% average return, 63% win rate. Sounds good right?But zero alpha. Every single trade has exactly 0% alpha vs buy-and-hold over the same period. That's because the "buy after cut" entry is just buying the stock — you'd get the same return just holding it through the dip.Here's the breakdown:• Big winners (2020Q1-Q2 trades): +80% to +161% — but that's just the COVID recovery. Buy-and-hold did the same.• Big losers (2019Q1, 2022Q1): -25% to -52% — you bought into a continuing decline• Win rate is decent (63-72%) but that's just BDCs being mean-reverting assets in generalThe honest answer: The contrarian angle feels right narratively, but the data says there's no edge. The dividend cut doesn't give you a better entry point than just buying the dip on price alone. You're not buying a "NAV discount opportunity" — you're buying a falling knife that sometimes recovers and sometimes doesn't.The 2008 story is a survivorship bias — we remember the BDCs that recovered, not the ones that didn't (OCSL -86% cut, NEWT with 13 cuts over 10 years).So both directions are dead: sell on cuts = no signal, buy on cuts = no alpha.
Money is expensive again, Wall Street is repricing every asset, and Warren Buffett is sitting on a record $397 billion in cash. But Bitcoin isn't a business—and measuring it by revenue or yield may completely miss its true market across cash, bonds, global liquidity, inflation, and capital flows. This episode breaks down Bitcoin valuation, real yields, the AI trade, and why billions may be waiting for a new signal.SPONSORS

Ever since he first received his first bitcoin in 2013, Joël Valenzuela has been on a quest to use free market electronic cash to pay for everything. Today, he is still unbanked and looking for ways to make instant payments without a bank account. He is best known for working for the DASH cryptocurrency project. But over the years, he's collaborated with plenty of other projects (mostly those related with private payments) and he possesses a wealth of knowledge in terms of adoption, everyday use as money, and user experience. Since Joël practices what he preaches and lives without fiat or banks, he is a bona fide advocate of inconvenience: using ATMs, purchasing gift cards, and trying every workaround that helps him accomplish the mission of never using fiat currencies. 00:00:00 Intro & sponsors: living without banks with Joël Valenzuela 00:02:18 The Vlad Costea handle saga & paying X to keep your name 00:04:20 Where the "Desert Lynx" name actually comes from 00:09:04 Joël's origin story: how Peter Schiff led him to Bitcoin 00:10:16 Growing up on the border & the Mexican peso crisis 00:12:16 First Bitcoin: the Chicago pizza payback of 2013 00:14:27 Silk Road's shutdown & the chaos of the Mt.

"Bitcoin secures over a trillion dollars in value. It has no security team." Luke de Wolf is a cybersecurity professional and author of Defending Bitcoin. Luke spent his career defending critical infrastructure, the control systems behind power grids and gas pipelines. His claim: Bitcoin is the world's first decentralized critical infrastructure, and it should be defended with the same risk-management frameworks that protect the physical world. A trillion-dollar network with no security team. And Luke is a former BIP-110 skeptic who flipped to supporting it making him a moderate who pisses off both sides. We get into the CIA triad and why availability is the whole game, people as the weakest link and the Stuxnet lesson, the real cost of running a node over time, spam as a DDoS and the hidden tax on Bitcoin, the two CVEs behind inscriptions, and the full BIP-110 fight. We discuss why he flipped, the game theory of activation, soft fork vs hard fork, the intolerant minority, and whether BIP-110 even has a failed state. This is the defender's case for Bitcoin, and the fight is happening right now. Subscribe so you never miss an episode.
