AI & Quantum Computing are not wizards that can willy-nilly cast a spell and destroy bitcoin. Devs are working to create solutions.

COINS NEWS

While incidents such as the hugging face incident are scary and OpenAI staff had no clue their own AI agents hacked into hugging face and were so oblivious that they emailed hugging face once a breach was announced and asked, "Are we at OpenAI affected by this hack?" the same day it was announced, AI isn't something you can just point at bitcoin and say, "Break it." Once the ColdCard hack happened, a movement called "red-teaming bitcoin" got started. For those of you who don't know, red-teaming means basically "white hat hacking" with relevant stakeholders in the know. Anyone can view bitcoin's open source code on github and I have to ask the question, "Has no one already tried pointing to the github page and doing that already?" Quantum computing's limitations extend to the fact that hardware used in quantum computing must be kept at extremely cold temperatures while performing quantum computations. And one quantum computer cannot just steal millions of wallet addresses' private keys all with the push of one button. With all incentives in place, there are very real motivations to keep bitcoin protected from these things. I think the announcement of a bitcoin-protection grant from galaxy digital below speaks volumes to those motivations: https://www.galaxy.com/newsroom/galaxy-launches-bitcoin-quantum-readiness-initiative EDIT: The red-teaming bitcoin fund is an ongoing project as well find that below. https://opensats.org/funds/red submitted by /u/sgtslaughterTV [link] [comments]

Why BTC is going down

COINS NEWS

I’ve been in this industry for a long time now. Every cycle, I inevitably get people asking me if it’s a good time to buy. The funny thing (and I’m sure many of you will relate to this) is that they always ask when BTC is going up Then, the moment BTC goes down even 2%, the same people ask if the bear market will create new lows. The takeaway for me has been traders vs investors. Traders buy and look for short term entry and exit. They want some quick cash. Investors look for long term valuation growth. They want the industry to succeed. Neither is wrong on its own but they both give a clear explanation of WHY people ask this question. When a trader asks this question, they’re asking it to know if they should buy or sell based on the money they want to make. When an investor asks this question, they’re asking it to know if their conviction will be validated or invalidated. Have you noticed the same? submitted by /u/Accomplished-Eye5567 [link] [comments]

Built a social crypto site with charts, news and more. Would love some honest feedback

COINS NEWS

Hey all, Sick of using 5 different apps and websites to talk about crypto while looking at charts and messaging your friends to jump on Bitcoin? I've been working on a site called Nodora (https://nodora.fun) for a while now, and it's finally at the point where I need real people using it. Basically I got sick of jumping between 3 or 4 different places for crypto stuff, so I tried to put it all in one spot. There's charts, a social side where you can post and follow people, and a launchpad where if you've made your own coin you can list it and actually get it in front of people. It's still early so I'm sure there's stuff that's broken or confusing. That's kind of the point of this post ????. I'd really like to know: What sucks or doesn't make sense Whether you'd actually use the social part over X or Telegram If you've launched a coin, what would make you list it here Anyone who signs up now while I'm testing gets an achievement for being early, and some extra bonus stuff. Just my way of saying thanks for helping out early. Happy to take harsh feedback, I'd rather hear it now than later. I'll try reply to everyone. Cheers. Also if posting this here is totally against the rules I understand! submitted by /u/Erraturtle [link] [comments]

Contributing to Society in a Meaningful Way in 2027

COINS NEWS

Hi everyone. I am writing this out of a sense of anxiety due to the advancement of AI in contemporary society. Like many of you who have been in the space for some years, I just want to stack sats and live a good life. However, that's becoming harder every week and every month of every year now, because AI is causing opportunities to earn money to dissipate on a large scale, making it tough to DCA and stack sats. My question to those of you who are successful is this: what are some good ways to meaningfully contribute to society in the next year, which do not have a new education or extreme/difficult training as a prerequisite, despite the advancement of AI? I'm seriously considering changing careers because I think AI will soon eat up the job market for my current profession. I just want job security and a decent salary, along with things I need to fulfill my basic needs of survival. Where should I go from here? I don't want to be a failure, I don't want to stay poor forever. I don't earn much even now but things are just getting worse all the time. Advice? Like, genuine and helpful advice, please? Things I am into are all dominated by AI; I'm into art, music, gaming, electronics/coding, professional and college sports... None of which I can see a way to get into professionally. In my country Firefighters/Emergency Medical Technicians get a really good salary but for personal reasons, I cannot handle such extremely high stress jobs. What are my best options if you consider me just the average Joe? submitted by /u/IndependentSpeck [link] [comments]

[Serious] An interesting graph of Dash's rank on CMC since January of 2021. We are not quitters.

COINS NEWS

This is a graph of Dash’s CoinMarketCap rank since Jan 2021, from CMC’s monthly historical snapshots. It went from #36 to a low of #196 in Jun 2024, then jumped to #68 in Nov 2025 and has held in the #63–#89 range since. Setting aside stablecoins and gold-backed tokens, only about 10 cryptos fell that far and later recovered to #75 or better. Of those, Dash is the only one that had previously been a top-10 coin, and only 2 of the other 9 are currently ranked above Dash: JUST (#58) and Injective (#70). We still have a good ways to go, but we are far from dead and we are still the best actual cryptoCURRENCY in the world. Faster, cheaper, more secure, optional privacy, innovative, etc. https://preview.redd.it/z4l3ligqwoxh1.png?width=1800&format=png&auto=webp&s=5e894705a3173a29198f630f4ad30e2f5c1511c2 submitted by /u/solarguy2003 [link] [comments]

Trezor driving me crazy - considering other options

COINS NEWS

Hi all - I use a Trezor Model T with Exodus, withe bulk of my crypto (mostly BTC these days) in the Trezor and a bit directly in exodus. It works fine, but the whole setup feels clunky and I keep having this issue where I'm unable to enter the PIN code correctly. Maybe I have fat fingers, but I even bought a little stylus and it still takes me 5 to 10 tries to get the PIN in. Sometimes I am touching directly in the center of a number using the narrow stylus and I get nothing or the wrong number. Over the years, I've seen others with similar issues but reconnecting/updates seem to help. In my case, it's gotten worse - like unusable and this morning I actually thought I might lose a pretty large amount of coin cause I just couldn't get in. I got in. I move 6-figures of BTC into Exodus so now I have the coin on my phone in a hot software wallet. Maybe my Trezor was just defective and I need a new one, but I thought I'd look at new options. It's sort of a confusing selection. Any thoughts on the best option? My priorities are: 1) COLD wallet, that lives in my fireproof safe. 2) Easy to use. Trezor was fine but the ui was a bit clunky 3) I am mostly holding BTC these days so thats really all I need. I have been reading about options, but wow there are a ton of options. I could just get a new Trezor but I'm a little turned off. Any tips? I'm having trouble understanding the options. submitted by /u/Helpful_Bandicoot383 [link] [comments]

The $10 Insult: Why Congress’s De Minimis Tax Exemption Betrays Everyday Earners—and Locks Bitcoin in a Golden Cage.

COINS NEWS

Why does the United States Congress treat foreign central bank currencies 20x better than Bitcoin? Under Section 988(e) of the Internal Revenue Code, an American citizen can spend $1,500 worth of Euros or Swiss Francs, realize up to $200 in exchange-rate profit per transaction, and owe $0 in taxes with zero IRS paperwork. Meanwhile, under the flagship crypto tax bills moving through Congress right now (H.R. 10357 and the ADAPT Act), if a working-class American spends $14.50 over the Lightning Network to buy lunch, it triggers a taxable barter disposition on IRS Form 8949. Even worse: the much-hyped "$10 de minimis exemption" inside H.R. 10357 only exempts the network transaction fee—not the purchase itself. Congress exempted the postage stamp and kept the letter inside fully taxable. Why? Follow the incentives: Wall Street got everything it asked for: Institutional lending safe harbors, mark-to-market accounting, and ETF trust protections. Dollar stablecoins got a monopoly: Zero capital gains on spending and immunity from wash-sale rules—because stablecoins force everyday spenders to hold T-bill-backed dollars that silently pay the annual inflation tax. Everyday Bitcoiners got handcuffs: A 30-day wash-sale ban, constructive-sale rules, and permanent taxation of miners on unsold block rewards. Inside "The $10 Insult"—and why the state is terrified of letting Bitcoin circulate as everyday money submitted by /u/sylsau [link] [comments]

Project to show friends and family how Bitcoin can be used as a MoE by both humans and AI agents

COINS NEWS

Hey guys, I was thinking of ways to orange pill my friends and family. Most of them understand Bitcoin but see it more as a store of value and less of a medium of exchange. I mentioned to them that there are plenty of places where you can pay for things with Bitcoin and also brought up the fact that in a digital age especially one where AI agent will be able to transact on their own or on a human’s behalf, they wouldn’t use traditional banking rails but rather internet native, permissionless money like Bitcoin. So as a little project to further Bitcoin understanding and adoption, I decided to build something fun that can show people how Bitcoin can be used as a medium of exchange both by humans and AI agents. I built a website called confessionalbooth (dot) xyz where humans or AI agents can pay a $1 invoice via lightning to make a confession or reply to an existing confession on the wall. I thought it would be a fun little experiment that could demonstrate how easy it is to pay with bitcoin for humans and AI agent. I even got my own AI agent to make the first few posts on the website! I created a sub wallet on Alby with a set amount of funds, connected it to Hermes and then told it to go to the website, read the documentation, figure out how to make a make confession and also reply to a confession and it worked perfectly. It was so cool and further reinforces the idea that AI agents will use an internet native money to transact on the web and Bitcoin is the hardest form of money ever built so will be a no brainer for them to use. Sharing it with the community here to see what you think, get you to test it for yourselves and also for you to use it as an orange pill moment with your own friends and family.

The next bull run: Is the 4-year cycle dead?

COINS NEWS

I've been wondering how the next bull market could be and I think now that we are not seeing too much euphoria it is a good moment to ask you what you think. The 4 year cycle has probably broken since we had a July bottom and also there is roughly only 4% of the total supply to be mined. We will probably see a lot of institutions buying in the next years, JPMorgan has recently said that they expect Bitcoin to outperform other stocks and all the banks will support Bitcoin too, more ETF are being created, Norway has bought a tiny amount of Bitcoin for their sovereign fund, enterprises are buying, laws are being created... There is a big tailwind. So, could we be heading towards a longer cycle? Maybe a 5 years cycle with slower growth, maybe we see a similar bull market to the last ones but not as weak compared to the last one as we might expect, or maybe the cycle just continues like it is one more time. What do you guys think? submitted by /u/link_155 [link] [comments]

Can Bitcoin’s perceived value survive whatever changes advanced computer agentic intelligence does to it?

COINS NEWS

We don’t know what types of changes will happen to Bitcoin from from advanced computational AI yet, but we can mostly be sure there will be some type of effect that alters it. I been a hodlr since way back and always planned to just keep letting it ride the waves of time, but I’m seriously concerned what might happen to the worlds perceived value of BTC if AI agentic programs create ways to disrupt it. We’ve always been able to fall back on the fact that no matter what, BTC doesn’t care and will always be decentralized and secure from being broken. Advanced AI is going to challenge this I’m pretty sure. We can’t know what that looks like yet but it’s something we are going to face.

The Quantum Clock Just Jumped Forward: Why Bitcoin’s Math Is Shrinking Faster Than Anyone Expected (And Why Hardware Is Still Holding the Line).

COINS NEWS

The Quantum Clock Just Jumped Forward—And Nobody’s Talking About It. ???????? While the public debate over quantum computing "FUD" went to sleep, the mathematics of attacking Bitcoin’s cryptography did something unexpected: It didn’t just creep forward. It sprinted. ????‍♂️???? Over the course of 2026, a quiet convergence of frontier cryptography and autonomous AI coding agents has completely slashed the mathematical requirements for breaking secp256k1 (Bitcoin’s elliptic curve). Here’s the wild reality of the Quantum vs. Bitcoin race: 1️⃣ The Algorithmic Crash: Modern estimates used to state that breaking Bitcoin’s cryptography would take ~2,300 logical (error-corrected) qubits. Google optimized that to 1,175. In the latest ECDSA(.)fail study by Jieyi Long, AI agents helped push that requirement below 900 logical qubits. ???? 2️⃣ The Hardware Promise: IonQ’s recent full-stack analysis estimated that breaking a Bitcoin private key would take roughly 20,000 physical qubits. Yet, IonQ’s official roadmap targets 20,000 physical qubits and 1,600 logical qubits by 2028. ????️ Yes, just two years away. Is this the end of Bitcoin? No. A corporate roadmap is not an active cryptanalytic weapon, and continuous 26-day fault-tolerant runs across 20,000 fragile qubits remain a massive engineering challenge that traditional titans like IBM and Google estimate will take until 2033+. BUT, we can no longer ignore the speed of the math. Because upgrading a decentralized, multi-trillion-dollar protocol without causing panic takes 5 to 7 years, the clock is ticking for Bitcoiners to begin preparing. I just broke down: ???? Why AI and open-source research slashed the math in months. ???? The "Physical vs. Logical" qubit gap & the real danger of IonQ’s 2028 timeline. ???? Why modern hashed addresses (bc1q) are safe—but 6.9 MILLION BTC are sitting in an exposed bullseye. ???? The roadmap to a post-quantum Bitcoin (and what you should do with your own keys right now).

Question: Exactly how bullish are you on Bitcoin?

COINS NEWS

I’ve been holding a rather low amount of BTC (sub 1) for quite a few years. I am satisfied with the development BTC has made but I have also not invested further. Recently I restructured my real estate and stocks and I noticed once again that I could invest significantly more in BTC if I decided to. Well, that is if I held firm conviction that it will outperform my other chosen means of investment. Hence spending a bit more time currently further educating myself on finance and BTC which brought up a question: How strong is other people’s conviction that Bitcoin will primarily outperform the stock market in the next 10 years and longterm? Not to have it affect my own actions but out of curiosity. Who is hodling for the sake of it? Who hodls for posterity (own kids, grandkids)? If you’re holding a sizeable stash of BTC I am going to assume you do have a strong conviction that BTC will outperform stocks. My question is: By how much are you conceding it will? Curious if it’s hodling out of principle, you are well educated about finance, or just heuristically bullish as hell. To the moon? What’s that moon? How are you projecting BTC to perform? submitted by /u/Crowdfundingprojects [link] [comments]

Security exploit in electrum. Update to new version 4.8.3 from official website only.

COINS NEWS

Source: https://x.com/ElectrumWallet/status/2113935057656369564 Source: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/security/advisories/GHSA-6jp4-8v48-cc5v Malicious server can replace a just-broadcast tx and try to trick user into RBF-ing it Summary The main Electrum server the client connects to is trusted with mempool ("unconfirmed") transactions. This is documented design. [0] However now someone figured out a way to practically exploit it: when the client broadcasts a new tx1, a malicious server can swallow it, and update the client's history with a conflicting (invalid) tx2 that replaces the outputs with the attacker's output address. Tx2 has invalid signatures, but this is not checked (due to light client design). The wallet will display tx2 as an unconfirmed transaction - tx1 will not be displayed. If the client then manually RBF fee-bumps tx2, the client will sign it with a higher fee, and hence pay the attacker. Fixes Commit 90fe308 contains the fix [1], included in version 4.8.3. The client now verifies the signatures of wallet.is_mine inputs for mempool txs (before adding them to its local history). Users should upgrade (and regularly do so in any case). As a workaround, without upgrading, when signing any transaction, for bumping the fee or not, they should verify the output addresses and amounts are as expected. Clients that connect to servers they trust (e.g. run their own) are not affected. Remarks some servers are performing this attack in the wild we received two user-reports of this. user1 noticed after broadcasting tx1 the wallet history contained a different tx. user2 bumped the fee of tx2 and lost money. user1 reported tx1 was not propagated over the bitcoin p2p, so the server held it both reported the attacker's output address in tx2 was grinded to match the last four chars of the legit address from tx1 based on user2's report, the server constructed a tx2 with zero fee (presumably in hope of the user bumping its fee) even with the fix, we still only validate "is_mine" inputs (i.e. paying from addresses that the wallet owns). So e.g. "incoming" txs are not validated. The client lacks a full consensus engine / script interpreter, though even with that, to cover non-is_mine inputs, it would have to validate the unconfirmed parents recursively until reaching mined txs. Mined txs we already SPV. Timeline 2026-10-11: user1 (dannydeezy) sends private disclosure, but the bump_fee vector is not realised 2026-10-18: user2 (Raju-K12) reports privately that they lost money after bump_fee 2026-10-23: version 4.8.3 git tagged, with the fix 2026-10-24: version 4.8.3 binaries released 2026-10-24: public disclosure Credits We thank dannydeezy and Raju-K12 for finding and responsibly disclosing this issue to us. submitted by /u/Rattlesnake_Mullet [link] [comments]

You've been paid in chaff your whole life (Bitcoin art)

COINS NEWS

Contrary to popular belief, Fiat is not a noun but a verb in Latin for "let it be done". Palea means chaff, hence "Let there be chaff". Fiat Palea is #03 of my Ten Decrees series, Bosch's Haywain Triptych redrawn for the fiat age. Bosch built the Haywain on an old Flemish proverb: the world is a haywain, and each man takes what he can. He painted the whole of society climbing a wagon of hay while the pope and the emperor ride along behind it in no hurry at all. In mine the wagon is heaped with dollars. Chaff is the husk around the grain.. the part you can't eat. Separating the two never needed an authority. You throw the harvest in the air, the grain is heavy so it drops back down, the wind carries the chaff off, and whatever's left over gets swept up and burned. Wind, weight and fire, and nobody can vote on any of those things. The decree in the title, "let there be chaff", skips the test and counts the chaff as the harvest.. and then keeps printing more of it. The edition print, 30 x 20 inches Bosch's Haywain sections next to mine. Sound on. https://reddit.com/link/1xexwe4/video/04iz8hrtykxh1/player Detail shots: The garden, with the $ angels falling out of the sky along with the money The EX NIHILO vault, and the $ skull king riding past it with his own sign: LET THERE BE CHAFF The printer that fills the wagons. NO LIMIT on the crane. A scale with a heap of dollars rides high against a few gold coins The chaff wagon. The SEPARATOR. Real grain lands on the floor, where anybody could walk up and take it. The TRUST tower burning, with a guy pouring GAS on it from the crane, WHOOPS across his vest. The furnace. Gold behind bars under YIELD, bills burning under CHAFF ONLY.

I can’t blame the sceptics.

COINS NEWS

Honestly it’s becoming a hassle to hold crypto and for novices it must be a minefield. What with exchange hacks and more recently cold wallet exploits, not to mention the seemingly more and more common practice of exchanges freezing transactions and holding funds, demanding proof of funds, history and even having the audacity to ask why the transfer and what the funds will be used for. Personally I haven’t been affected because I’m holding, but it’s a significant amount and dread if I ever have to convert to fiat. What’s more, I’ve interacted and exchanged via XMR as an investment and because I like the concept,but this will no doubt raise further red flags with exchanges. Yes, I’m aware of DEXs but when the day comes when I want to take profit I will need a CEX for an Australian bank deposit. Rant over. Cheers. submitted by /u/MoonShot1973 [link] [comments]

Is crypto the logical next step for AI-to-AI and AI-to-Business payments?

COINS NEWS

I've been thinking about the current AI trend and how the infrastructure might evolve. Phase 1 was clearly the GPU boom for training the models. Phase 2 seems to be the inference and edge computing boom for actually running them everywhere. Does it make sense that Phase 3 could be autonomous AI agents needing a native settlement layer? Since an AI can't open a traditional corporate bank account or pass KYC to use services like Stripe, crypto seems like the most practical way for them to transact with each other (AI-to-AI) and pay traditional companies for things like APIs, web scraping, or cloud storage (AI-to-Business). If this scenario actually plays out, do you think networks like ETH, SOL, or LINK are well-positioned to capture this volume? Or is the idea of AI agents driving blockchain adoption still too far off? Would love to hear your thoughts on this timeline. submitted by /u/vogtsburger [link] [comments]

I built a browser game where you run a central bank and choose between fiat, gold, fixed supply or a Bitcoin standard

COINS NEWS

Disclosure: this is my own side project. It's free, no signup, no ads, no token, nothing to buy. I've always found the debate about money systems pretty abstract, so I turned it into a game. In Cantill One you govern a country with its own currency in a world of 24 countries. You set the interest rate, taxes, spending and tariffs, and you pick a monetary system: - Fiat: full control over rates, and full temptation to print - Gold standard: you can still set rates, but money growth is limited and your reserves can run out - Fixed money supply: no new money, and the market sets the rate - Bitcoin standard: issuance on a fixed schedule with halvings, the market sets the rate, and the exchange rate swings hard The name comes from the Cantillon effect: new money doesn't reach everyone at the same time. Cheap credit gives you a boom first, then malinvestment, and eventually a bust. Voters feel inflation right away and compare their purchasing power with other countries. Push it too far and you're voted out. Scoring isn't just GDP. It also counts how the poorer half is doing, inequality and approval. I tried hard not to make any system the obvious winner: hard money protects against bubbles but leaves you fewer tools in a crisis. There's also a daily challenge where everyone plays the same world, with a leaderboard. The server replays your inputs, so scores can't be faked. Top score gets 10k sats via lightning ⚡ https://cantill.one.btcstack.ing I'd honestly like criticism. Does the model feel realistic? Which system did you end up with, and why? submitted by /u/Grisdoff88 [link] [comments]

Best personal EUR bank account for frequent incoming and outgoing Binance P2P transfers?

COINS NEWS

I’m looking for a personal EUR bank account for regular SEPA transfers, ideally with very low or zero transfer fees. Initially, I’d expect around 4–5 incoming and 4–5 outgoing transfers per day, starting at €300 per transfer. The amounts would gradually increase, potentially reaching €2,000 outgoing and €2,000 incoming per cycle. At 3–4 cycles daily, that would mean: €6,000–€8,000 outgoing per day €6,000–€8,000 incoming per day €12,000–€16,000 combined daily volume I was thinking using more than a bank account, but in this case which ones do you guys recommend? Especially with that volume of transactions. Has anyone used an account for similar activity? Which banks would you recommend that would allow this on a personal account? submitted by /u/ApprehensivePlan4102 [link] [comments]

Critical Security Exploit in Electrum. Upgrade to version 4.8.3 before signing any transactions

Critical Security Exploit in Electrum. Upgrade to version 4.8.3 before signing any transactions. No rush needed for dormant/cold wallets although you should remember upgrading before using electrum. https://x.com/ElectrumWallet/status/2113935057656369564 Explanation of Exploit https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/security/advisories/GHSA-6jp4-8v48-cc5v Download update directly from source https://electrum.org/#download In general LLM models have been discovering critical security vulnerabilities in general much faster than in the past which is both a headache and blessing at the same time as much more peer review is occurring and the software is becoming more secure.

The terrible money theory of John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946) is bullshit.

COINS NEWS

The productivity gains achieved by technical progress ought to lead to falling prices and to people having to work less, since they can produce the same amount of goods in less time. Instead, even after 200 years of rapid technical progress, people still have to work 8 to 10 hours a day because the terrible Keynesian inflationary monetary theory leads to a redistribution from the working population to those who own productive capital and could can borrow against their capital even more capital. This means that private commercial banks expand the money supply through lending for a small upper class and also for nation states and thus uncontrollably increase the money supply, which then manifests as inflation for everyone. Hopefuly, Bitcoin will break this vicious circle! submitted by /u/stay_safe_and_calm [link] [comments]

What makes a crypto iOS wallet safe for high-value transactions?

COINS NEWS

I hate opening my desktop every time I want to swap or do a quick transfer. So, I use a crypto wallet on my iPhone for regular transactions since it's convenient. When it comes to moving larger amounts, I'm not sure if it is the most secure way. To approve large transfers, I use a separate laptop and a browser extension paired with a hardware wallet. This keeps my crypto activity separate from everyday browsing and reduces some of the security risks. I know some crypto iOS wallets have security features like biometric authentication and hardware wallet pairing. Still, I am not comfortable making high-value transfers from my phone. Mostly because it is my primary phone and I use it for everything. I want to know how you guys approach mobile wallet security. Is using a hardware wallet with your primary phone secure enough? Or does having a separate phone make a difference? submitted by /u/Present_Let2487 [link] [comments]

The real Price of the Coin

COINS NEWS

I Think one of the biggest misunderstanding is, that people believe BTC was created to raise on value very fast. But actually it was designed to save your value, if you compare it against FIAT money. You can already see, that the margin between high and low gets smaller with every Circle. So will we see a 120k chart again anytime soon or even a 200k, 500k chart? If the inflation raises like hell there is a chance. Is it Likely? No. Will it drop to under 1k? If some kind of AI cracks the key or there is a mayor security issue there is a chance. Ist it Likely? No. In my opinion, in the next Years, theres a good chance, we will see, whats the real price of BTC wich will be just adjusted by inflation rate. Wich number will it be? Nobody knows. submitted by /u/Chronbachs [link] [comments]

BTC Purchasing Question

I apologize I know this question has been asked and answered frequently, but i'm having issues and would greatly appreciate some help. Over the past week, I have been trying to buy a small amount of Bitcoin ($30–$50 USD) via non KYC and P2P methods. Unfortunately, I’ve run into so many issues. Vendors either ignore the orders I place/aren't even actually online, say they are unavailable, or only sell 100+ dollars worth. I’ve looked at safe P2P platforms with and have had no hope. Should I give up at this point? I don't wanna spend 100 dollars, and I dont wanna pay 50 dollars to buy an ID (I'm still working on my drivers license) Honestly, i'm just wasting my time at this point, so any insights or tips would be greatly appreciated. submitted by /u/digtalz [link] [comments]

How much BTC does it take to retire? I ran $3k–$10k a month through three price paths

COINS NEWS

I built a free Bitcoin retirement simulator that models the price in cycles (peak, crash, flat years, recovery) instead of one smooth growth line. People keep asking “how much do I need?”, so I ran the common cases. Spending starts today and rises 2.75% a year with inflation, with no more buying. BTC needed for it to last 30 years: Monthly spend Optimistic (Saylor path) Baseline cycles Conservative $3,000 ~1.6 ~3.5 ~8 $5,000 ~3 ~5.5 ~13 $7,500 ~4 ~8.5 ~19 $10,000 ~5.5 ~11 ~26 (BTC at about $80,700, run on 24 Oct.) What stood out to me: The price path you assume does most of the work. Same spending, about 5x difference between the optimistic and conservative paths. Doubling the time doesn’t double the BTC. Going from 20 to 40 years takes roughly 35–50% more on the baseline and conservative paths, because the later years are paid for at higher prices. That only holds while prices keep rising: the model’s last cycle ends in 2045, after which the price levels off while spending keeps growing. None of these start with a crash. All three paths climb to a 2029 peak first, so the first few years look kinder than a crash-first scenario would. No taxes, fees or pension either. The full table, including 20 and 40 years, is here, and each number opens in the simulator so you can change the inputs: https://bitcoinlifespan.com/bitcoin-retirement-calculator/ It’s a model, not advice. Curious which assumptions people here would change. submitted by /u/0a0d0s0 [link] [comments]

First BTC buy: ~$5K DCA over 12 months is the plan. Help me understand where to start.

COINS NEWS

I’m ready to make my first bitcoin purchase. The plan is to dollar-cost average small amounts over the next year, up to about $5,000 total. I’ve done some initial research, but there are so many options that I’d appreciate input from people who’ve been through this. Where I’ve landed so far: ETFs (IBIT/FBTC): Easiest and lowest effort. But I want to learn self-custody eventually, so I don’t want to rely only on ETFs. Kraken vs Coinbase: Kraken looks cheaper if you use Kraken Pro instead of the simple buy button. Coinbase has the stronger brand and regulatory profile though. Robinhood: Easy to use and it now allows BTC withdrawals, but crypto feels secondary for them River / Strike: Bitcoin-only apps that seem built for recurring buys and easy withdrawals to your own wallet. They’re probably the best fit for learning the wallet side. But credibility? Any other cons that I'm missing? Cash App: Very convenient and widely used. It only offers bitcoin, and it supports auto-invest and withdrawals. But I’m not sure how its fees and spreads compare for regular small buys. Where I’d love input: For small recurring buys, which platform has actually worked well for you in terms of fees, withdrawal holds and reliability? Does the ETF + real BTC split make sense, or would you just go all-in on owning BTC directly? Finally, how to choose among all these platforms? submitted by /u/BusyChallenge289 [link] [comments]

Venture giant Andreessen Horowitz drops ‘crypto’ from name of blockchain fund, rebrands as ‘a16z Frontier’

COINS NEWS

In 2018, Andreessen Horowitz made a splash in the venture capital world by launching a spinoff dedicated to digital assets called a16z Crypto. Eight years later—perhaps recognizing that the term “crypto” has fallen out of favor—the VC giant announced Thursday that it was rebranding to a16z Frontier, and expanding its scope to back startups developing artificial intelligence, robotics, and other emerging technologies. Managing partner Chris Dixon will lead the fund alongside Marc Andreessen, Ben Horowitz, and general partners Eddy Lazzarin and Guy Wuollet. The shift expands the scope of its $2.2 billion fund announced in May, though the firm will continue backing crypto startups and advocating for crypto regulation. As more businesses use blockchain technology behind the scenes, the distinction between crypto companies and other businesses is becoming less clear, Dixon wrote in an X article. The firm had begun investing beyond crypto before Thursday’s announcement. In June, a16z Crypto led a $33 million seed round for Ornn, a company developing financial products for the AI computing market. In October 2025, Andreessen Horowitz co-led a funding round for prediction market Kalshi.

First Bitcoin Logo??

COINS NEWS

My father works as an engraver of medals. Some time ago, he was commissioned to engrave a medal for a woman whose son had passed away—the woman was a foreigner, incidentally. The medal had to feature a specific logo, which the woman explained to my father was "Bitcoin" (though he doesn’t recall the details very clearly, as it was quite a long time ago). Recently, he came across the logo and showed it to me. We aren’t certain exactly when this request was made, but it was definitely between 10 and 20 years ago. Could this be one of the earliest versions of the Bitcoin logo? And is it possible that the woman’s son was one of the creators of Bitcoin, or someone who played a significant role in its development? submitted by /u/Zestyclose_Bobcat226 [link] [comments]

Can public blockchains support confidential RWA assets?

COINS NEWS

I've been researching whether institutions can trade RWAs onchain without revealing all their trading information to the public. I found several solutions, each with its own trade-offs. Zero-knowledge proofs can verify transactions without revealing sensitive details. Fully homomorphic encryption enables computation on encrypted data (though performance remains a challenge). Trusted execution environments offer better performance at the cost of trusting the hardware setup. Another option is using private or permissioned chains. What if we could add privacy directly to public chains instead? For example, private RFQs could hide trading intentions, while shielded transactions could keep transfer details confidential. I am still confused about how all this would work with existing DeFi solutions. Can we use confidential RWA tokens as collateral or trade them using public liquidity pools? And how can institutions selectively disclose information to auditors without making everything public? submitted by /u/Additional-Ask-2775 [link] [comments]

Bitget confiscated $750 of my personal funds without a court order (Ticket #3454156) - Unlawful Asset Seizure!

COINS NEWS

Hello everyone, I am writing this to warn the crypto community about Bitget’s unlawful practices regarding user deposits. The exchange has permanently confiscated $750 USD of my personal funds and refuses to return them, completely ignoring international financial laws and standard corporate off-boarding procedures. Here is exactly what happened: 1. My Bitget account was previously banned due to a Terms of Service (ToS) violation. I fully accepted this decision and did not ask to restore my trading access or use their platform again. 2. Recently, an automated withdrawal of $750 USD was accidentally triggered from my Stake platform account to my old, saved Bitget BEP20 address. 3. The transaction was fully confirmed on the blockchain (BNB Chain / BEP20). Verified TxID: 0xad687fbf0451f3b1de6207f72cb183ac4fb5aaeb34df0621a98c533da196af95 I immediately contacted Bitget Support (Ticket ID: #3454156) asking for a one-time manual REFUND of my accidental deposit back to the sender or to my external personal non-custodial wallet (MetaMask/Trust Wallet). Instead of escalating the issue to the Compliance/AML department or asking for a standard Video Verification of the source of funds, Bitget support (operators Rainie, KW, and Jinn) repeatedly copy-pasted a template response stating that «any deposits made after account termination are made at your own risk» and declared that my funds are «unreturnable» and «this decision is final». I then sent them a final formal notice, giving them 24 hours to review the case professionally at a management level, explicitly stating that I am ready to provide full unedited video evidence proving the legitimate source of funds from Stake. Bitget’s response? They simply GHOSTED me and silently CLOSED my support ticket #3454156 without any reply or explanation. Let’s be clear: A private company’s Terms of Service DO NOT give them the legal right to misappropriate and steal a user’s private property. Unless there is an official warrant from law enforcement or a court seizure order, freezing a deposit and refusing to return it to the rightful owner is a straight-up exit scam. Bitget Team, I demand that a Senior Compliance Officer reviews this case manually and initiates a manual refund to my external wallet. I have all the proofs ready.

The $81,500 Maginot Line: Inside Wall Street’s Cost-Basis Trench War and the Final Defense of the Bitcoin Bull Market.

COINS NEWS

Every time Bitcoin tries to charge toward $85,000, it hits a wall. Every time it drops to $80,000, invisible hands buy it back. If you’re only looking at basic candlestick charts, it looks like frustrating, random "chop." But beneath the surface, there is nothing random about where we are stalling or where we are bouncing. We are currently boxed inside a $6,000 compression chamber. Above us sit trapped 6-to-12-month "top buyers" at $87.7K who are desperate to exit at breakeven. Beneath us sits a heavily fortified concrete trench at $81.5K—the aggregate cost basis of all U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF investors ($108B+ in assets). With offshore stablecoins at 12-month lows and corporate treasury flywheels stalled, Wall Street’s $81,500 entry price is currently the final firewall preventing a deeper drop to $74.8K. submitted by /u/sylsau [link] [comments]

Ethereum functions as the primary home for USDC, meaning centralized exchanges, institutional trading desks, and lending protocols depend heavily on ETH based ERC-20 USDC for deep order books and settlement. The Solana network holds 9.34% of total USDC in circulation. It is primarily used in DeFi, on-chain trading, institutional settlements and high speed payments. HyperEVM holds over $6.5 billion in USDC to serve as the foundational liquidity, universal collateral and quote asset for the Hyper Liquid ecosystem. submitted by /u/semanticweb [link] [comments]

I made a thing that turns your Ethereum wallet into a medieval castle, and every transaction is a little courier walking across town

COINS NEWS

This is a repost from yesterdays Daily for better visibility. I made a thing that turns your Ethereum wallet into a medieval castle, and every transaction is a little courier walking across town It's very early, which is why it's still sitting on a vercel subdomain, so expect some rough edges and the name is very much a working title, so if you have any suggestion for how to call this I would really appreciate it. The idea is simple: your wallets are a castle and the chain is the town in front of it. Each wallet gets a tower, the keep grows with what you hold overall, and every protocol you use has its own building in town. Every transaction is a courier who crosses the drawbridge, pays the toll at the border (that's your gas fee) and walks over to the protocol's door. The bell tower in the middle rings on every real mainnet block, which is weirdly satisfying to watch. You can look around right away with the famous wallets preview (vitalik.eth, the ENS DAO treasury and XCOPY so far). To see your own wallet, you'll need a free Zerion API key. It stays in your browser and never goes anywhere else. https://wallet-landia.vercel.app/ really appreciate any feedback, good or bad. Tell me what's fun, what's confusing and what's broken. I'm also looking for more famous or interesting wallets to add to the preview: whales, DAOs, NFT, artists, infamous hacker addresses, whatever you think would make a cool castle. Drop them in the replies! submitted by /u/n3r01n [link] [comments]

They say money doesn’t grow on trees, it does if you plant the right seeds.

COINS NEWS

Money is not merely something to earn, spend, or hoard. It is a seed. A seed can be consumed today, or it can be planted, nurtured, and given time to grow into something far greater than itself. The choice is ours. Every dollar invested is a little seed sent into the future. Through patience, knowledge, discipline, and time, those seeds can grow into trees. Those trees can bear fruit, and that fruit can plant more seeds. Eventually, what once required our labor can begin working alongside us. I do not want to spend my entire life trading my hours for money. I want my labor to build something that outlasts the labor itself. I want to turn my time into ownership, my ownership into opportunity, and my opportunity into freedom. I see every dollar entering my portfolio as a little soldier, an employee sent to work on my behalf. I want to build an army of them, not to worship their number, but to give myself more choices over how I live, what I pursue, and how I spend the limited time I have on this earth. But I must never forget what the seeds are for. Money is a tool, not a master. Wealth is a means, not an identity. A growing portfolio is a beautiful thing, but it is not a substitute for a life well lived. I will plant my seeds patiently. I will learn from my mistakes, question my convictions, and resist the temptation to sacrifice my entire present for an uncertain future. I will not measure my worth solely by the size of my harvest, nor uproot my trees simply because someone else’s are taller. Some seeds will fail. Some trees will take decades to grow. My responsibility is not to control every outcome, but to plant wisely, tend what I have planted, and give time the opportunity to work in my favor. I do not chase money for the sake of money. I cultivate it so that one day my life will belong more fully to me. The goal is not to spend eternity counting seeds. It is to grow a forest that provides shelter, opportunity, security, and freedom—not only for myself, but for the people I love. Plant the right seeds. Tend them with discipline. Give them time. And remember to enjoy the sunlight while they grow. submitted by /u/Key-Philosophy2459 [link] [comments]

I know nothing about crypto other than some people swearing it's the future, and other people warning about rug pulls. I need to buy something from a manufacturer. That manufacturer doesn't take card payment for some reason and only takes crypto.

River closed my account while I was waiting for ForceField to be disabled. $4,000 still stuck.

COINS NEWS

I recently started using River and received around $6,000 through direct deposit. I was able to withdraw $2,000 worth of BTC to my cold wallet without any issues. However, when I tried to withdraw the remaining $4,000, I had already reached my withdrawal limit due to ForceField. I requested to disable ForceField and was waiting for the deactivation period to end. Then, with just 2 days left before ForceField was supposed to be disabled, I suddenly received a notification that River had decided to close my account. The worst part is that my remaining $4,000 is still stuck in my River account, and I have no idea when or how I’ll be able to get it back. I don’t understand why River would accept my direct deposit, allow me to withdraw $2,000 in BTC, and then suddenly decide to close my account while I was waiting for ForceField to be disabled. Has anyone else experienced this? Did River eventually return your remaining funds after closing your account? If so, how long did it take? Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. submitted by /u/Ecstatic_Shower3201 [link] [comments]

Bitcoin is unique and useful. That's why it's valuable. It's not complicated.

COINS NEWS

Bitcoin is useful and has functionality that no other currency can provide. As a currency it does things other currenies cannot do. As a store of value, it does things other stores of value cannot do. As a unit of account, it does things other units of account cannot do. Bitcoin is uniquely useful. That's why it's valuable. ----- Here's substantiation that you probably won't read. Bitcoin acts as a bearer asset and a decentralized settlement network at the same time. This enables capabilities that are fundamentally impossible on traditional fiat rails like ACH, SWIFT, or credit card systems. Because legacy systems rely on centralized intermediaries to handle financial logic and hold funds, they are limited by restrictions that Bitcoin's fundamental cryptographic protocol isn't. Some.of the more important properties of Bitcoin are: Self-Custody - It's a bearer asset. Fiat shitcoins are IOUs on centralized banks' ledgers. Bitcoin allows people to hold their wealth directly by using private keys and cryptography. It's digital gold that the users have absolute control and ownership over. It's resistant to censorships and unfreezable - As long as you actual hodl your own coins you cannot be frozen or blacklisted from the entire network. You can still use custodial services when they make sense, but you aren't forced to. No central authority can suppress a user's financial freedom. Very much levels the playing field between regular people and large powerful entities. Irreversible Transsactions - Fiat rails typically allow for things like chargebacks and transaction reversals. Once a Bitcoin transaction is validated by miners and confirmed on the blockchain, it is permanent and irreversible, completely eliminating chargeback fraud. If you want the features of charge backs (buyer protections) or escrow or whatever for some transactions you can opt in. Use a third party that provides it. But it's not forced on you. Permissionless and pseudo-anonymous by default - Opening a normal bank account requires a legal identity, credit checks, and compliance with banking regulations. Anyone with an internet connection can create a Bitcoin public/private keypair and participate in the global economy. We all have seen how much bs is coming down the lane with identity verification, and government spyware. Bitcoin lets you opt out of all that noise for the most part. Immutable Monetary Policy - Central bankers can fuck with the supply of fiat currencies and we don't really have much say in it. Bitcoin is open source and has mathematically predictable monetary policy. It is hardcapped at 21 million coins, and the rate of new coin issuance is consistent and predixtable. Changes to this policy are open and take the majority of the network to actually implement. No small cababl of selfish actors can move the ship in the direction that only they want. Internet native programmable money - Legacy fiat based ledgers only hold records of balances. On the Bitcoin network logic and script-ability are baked right into the protocol. Things like multi-sig, escrow, lightning network, time locked contracts, and anything else you can dream up are possible by just building right on top of the bedrock that is Bitcoin. The above are just some of the unique features Bitcoin offers. You can map them yourself to the currency/unit of account/medium of exchange use cases yourself easily. The security model, immaculate conception, years of proving itself, anonymous founder, etc are all required too but not necessarily why it has value. submitted by /u/arcrad [link] [comments]

SoFi launches tokenized deposits for consumers with 4.2% interest as debate over stablecoins rages on

COINS NEWS

The convergence between traditional and blockchain-based worlds of finance continues to accelerate. The latest example came on Thursday when the personal finance company SoFi announced it is offering tokenized deposits, which are functionally equivalent to cash but are stored on a blockchain. The new product is called SoFi Earn, or SOFIE, and those who hold the tokenized deposits will earn a 4.4% rate of interest and benefit from FDIC protection. The launch comes amid an ongoing, and often confusing, debate over the merits of tokenized deposits versus stablecoins, which are another form of dollar equivalents long embraced by the crypto industry. The two types of digital dollar are worth the same, but are subject to different regulatory regimes and use cases. Stablecoins like USDC, which is owned by Circle and Coinbase, are backed by a 1-to-1 reserve of dollars or U.S. Treasuries and can be transferred to anyone in the world who holds a crypto wallet. But they are a form of currency that, for now at least, exists outside the U.S. banking system, and are ineligible to earn interest or receive backing from the FDIC.

Crypto card spending hit $1.5B a month in late 2025, but most of it settled on fiat rails

COINS NEWS

Came across an Artemis report on how stablecoin cards actually work and it changed how I think about “spending crypto.” In most programs, the merchant never receives crypto at all. Your stablecoin gets sold, either when you top up or at the moment you pay, and the merchant gets regular fiat through the card network. The report estimated crypto-card spending grew from about $100 million a month in early 2023 to over $1.5 billion by late 2025, but said the vast majority of that settled on fiat rails. So the growth is real, but the crypto part mostly happens on the funding side, not at checkout. I get why it’s built this way, since it lets these cards work at any terminal. But it makes me wonder whether stablecoin cards are actually pushing crypto payments forward, or just acting as a nicer on-ramp to the same old card rails? submitted by /u/JakRenden2 [link] [comments]

I sent ETH from Binance to Robinhood through BSC. Is it really lost?

COINS NEWS

I accidentally sent ETH from Binance to Robinhood using the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) network because Binance is blocked in my country and I tried to transfer all my funds at once. The transfer status shows as "completed" on Binance, but after 24 hours, the funds haven't arrived in my Robinhood account. I contacted Robinhood support, and they told me the funds are unrecoverable. Since the receiving address belongs to my Robinhood wallet, is there any possibility to recover these funds if Robinhood supports BSC in the future, or are they lost permanently? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. After some research I've learnt that it's my fault for not being properly informed and not doing a trial transfer, but it just didn't cross my mind. submitted by /u/Solracval [link] [comments]

Blockchain.com Scammed me out of $27,000 USD

COINS NEWS

Processing img 9roa0gebrzwh1... Well it appears after doing several hours of research (reading through the depths of hell on reddit attempting to find some information on this exchange,) it appears that I have in fact been scammed out of over $27,000 in a single trade on Blockchain.com. I've personally never had any issues using the exchange over the years and this was the first time a real issue has occurred. After well over a month and a half with two weeks of undelivered emails having me to look like a schizophrenic beast, blockchain was just responding email after email "we will have someone on our team look at this situation". They locked my account after sending the crypto to the account - exchanging on site for USD to cash out - to then getting locked da fuk out. Honestly, it's so fkn hard to gut the fact that all of that bread is gone just like that. I mean, shit, I genuinely would've rather lost it to placing a hail mary bet on black. But life is life. Stay clear from that fucking scam shit site. save urself from being a retard

Every norwegian owns at least 21,000 sats

COINS NEWS

Every Norwegian citizen now indirectly owns at least 21,000 Satoshis. Here is how. If you ever needed proof that Bitcoin is eating the traditional financial world from the inside out, look no further than Norway's famous sovereign wealth fund (the "Oil Fund"). As the world's largest sovereign wealth fund worth over $1.8 trillion, it is legally mandated to buy a tiny slice of almost the entire global stock market. Because of this passive indexing strategy, the Norwegian state has become a massive indirect holder of Bitcoin. According to recent data from K33 Research, the fund now holds a record-breaking 11,549 BTC through its equity stakes in Bitcoin-heavy public companies. The math for Norway’s 5.5 million citizens is fascinating: 11,549 BTC total exposure divided by 5.5 million citizens equals roughly 0.0021 BTC per person. Since 1 BTC = 100,000,000 Satoshis, 0.0021 BTC translates to exactly 21,000 Satoshis for every single man, woman, and child in Norway. Where are these Satoshis coming from? The vast majority comes from the fund's large equity stake in MicroStrategy, which has been aggressively accumulating Bitcoin on its corporate balance sheet. As MicroStrategy buys more Bitcoin, the fund's indirect exposure automatically ticks up. The fund also holds substantial shares in other crypto-adjacent companies like Coinbase, Block Inc., and various major mining operations. What makes this even crazier is the growth rate: Norway’s indirect Bitcoin exposure surged by over 60% compared to last year alone, purely driven by corporate balance sheet adoption in the US stock market. The central bank in Oslo might not be running its own Bitcoin nodes or buying spot ETFs directly anytime soon, but the math doesn't lie. Every Norwegian citizen is now a fraction of a percent closer to the 21-million club—whether they know it or not submitted by /u/Gorbit0 [link] [comments]

Self-hosting the mempool explorer? Its backend image still bundles Node 24.13.0, from before the Oct 20 Node security release

Node.js put out security releases on October 20 (24.22.1 for the 24.x line): https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/october-2026-security-releases The published mempool backend images (mempool/backend v3.3.1 and latest, both from April) still bundle Node 24.13.0. There's a PR upstream to bump it, but it's waiting on the maintainers, and no rebuilt image is out yet. To check yours: docker exec node -v If your node platform packages the mempool app for you, it may already ship its own build, so check before changing anything. If it says v24.13.0 and you build your own stack, this is what we're running until upstream ships a fix: FROM node:24.22.1-bookworm-slim AS node FROM mempool/backend:v3.3.1 COPY --from=node /usr/local/bin/node /usr/bin/node Same Debian 12 base and the same native-module ABI, so the backend's Rust addon loads fine.

What Should Beginners Know Before Exploring Cryptocurrency?

COINS NEWS

Cryptocurrency can be an interesting introduction to blockchain technology and digital finance, but beginners should understand the risks before getting involved. Here are five important things to learn: 1. Understand blockchain: Learn how transactions are recorded and verified on a blockchain. 2. Know the difference between coins and tokens: They may serve different purposes within crypto ecosystems. 3. Protect your wallet: Never share your private keys or recovery phrase with anyone. 4. Research before investing: Understand a project's purpose, team, tokenomics, and risks instead of relying on hype or promises of guaranteed returns. 5. Be careful with mobile mining apps: Check how an app actually works. Some apps simulate mining or reward users through other mechanisms rather than performing real cryptocurrency mining on a phone. Cryptocurrency education is important because prices can be volatile, scams exist, and profits are never guaranteed. submitted by /u/Most_Boat_8562 [link] [comments]

COINS NEWS

Hey everyone, I'm looking for a clean, simple net worth tracker that lets me see my entire financial picture in one place. Ideally, it would support: Crypto: manual transactions or exchange/wallet sync, similar to Koinly. ETFs and stocks: holdings, purchase dates, cost basis and performance. Cash and savings Real estate and other assets Historical net worth chart: ideally going back to the date of my first transaction, including transactions entered manually after the fact. Overall portfolio performance: separating actual gains/losses from money I've added over time. I'm happy to enter historical transactions manually if needed. Automatic syncing is a bonus, not a requirement. I'd prefer something with a clean interface, easy setup and a reasonable price. I don't need budgeting features or a complicated financial planning platform. What are you using that does this well? Ideally something with a free or affordable basic plan.

I kept seeing photos of the "disappearing" Satoshi statues and couldn't find one place that listed them all, so I built one: https://www.satoshistatues.com What's on it: - A map of all 12 known statues (Lugano, Budapest, Vienna, Tokyo, Hong Kong, El Zonte, Miami and more), with photos, exact locations and current status - Trip guides for each one: how to get there, best time to visit, what's nearby - A passport: check in when you're actually at a statue and collect stamps (there's a printable version too) - A leaderboard for people who've visited the most - Upcoming Bitcoin events near each statue No sign-up, no ads, no tracking cookies. If you've visited one, I'd love a photo for the site, and corrections are very welcome. Some of these are hard to pin down (Lugano's current status, for example). Anyone here been to more than one? submitted by /u/satoshistatues [link] [comments]

Can RWA assets become private and compliant?

COINS NEWS

I read about private RWAs including tokenized stocks over the weekend. I think I found an interesting conflict between what institutions want (privacy) and how blockchains work (public). A fund managing large amounts doesn't want everyone to see its onchain positions, transfers, or trading activity. But the catch is, even regulated assets can't be completely invisible. Depending on the RWA asset, you may need rules around KYC/AML, investor eligibility, jurisdiction, audits, etc. In short, private RWAs need two things at the same time: Privacy: random people shouldn't be able to inspect every position and transaction. Compliance: authorized parties still need to know that the owner and transaction satisfy the relevant rules. How do you solve both? Because I don't see tokenized assets getting serious institutional adoption if they have to pick one between privacy and compliance. Is the solution some form of selective disclosure offchain? submitted by /u/MathematicianOwn8847 [link] [comments]

Bitcoin’s 21 Million Limit Doesn’t Enforce Itself. A Bitcoin model matched Core across 100,000 test executions. The gap that remains reveals what it really takes to protect Bitcoin’s most important promise.

COINS NEWS

In 2018, a Bitcoin Core bug could have allowed a miner to create coins outside Bitcoin’s issuance rules. The rule was clear. Affected software could fail to enforce it. That’s the part missing from most conversations about “21 million.” Bitcoin’s scarcity depends on independently operated nodes correctly rejecting blocks that break its rules—even when someone constructs an input developers never anticipated. Now, a researcher’s Bitcoin model has matched Core across 100,000 test executions covering selected transaction behaviors. Encouraging progress. But the hardest question remains: How do you prove that your mathematical model describes the Bitcoin people actually run? You can prove a model correct and still model the wrong thing. My latest article explains the research, what those tests establish, and three questions every Bitcoin holder should ask about claims of “mathematically proven” security. Bitcoin’s 21 million limit doesn’t enforce itself. submitted by /u/sylsau [link] [comments]

COINS NEWS

I kept running into the same problem: most estate attorneys and CPAs don't know what a seed phrase or multisig is, and finding one who does is mostly luck. So I built BitcoinProFinder, a free directory of professionals and companies that publicly say they work with Bitcoin holders. Right now it has 90 listings across 15 categories: estate attorneys, CPAs, financial advisors, custody and inheritance tools, insurance, mining hosting and more. Every listing links to its public source so you can check it yourself. What it is not: it's not an endorsement, there are no referral fees, and it's not advice. Always verify credentials before hiring anyone. https://bitcoinprofinder.com Two asks: - If you've worked with a Bitcoin-literate attorney or CPA you'd recommend, tell me who and I'll check them out. - If you're a pro who serves Bitcoiners, you can submit or claim a free listing.

Teens from a Paraguayan children’s foundation studied Bitcoin for months, then toured our hydro-powered mine to see it in person

COINS NEWS

On October 14, nineteen visitors from Fundación Virgen de Guadalupe walked through the gates of our Valenzuela data center in Paraguay. Most of them were teenagers who had already studied how Bitcoin works. They came to see it for themselves. A line printed on the backs of their shirts read: "Aprender es el primer paso hacia la libertad." Learning is the first step toward freedom. Gabriel Lamas, President of HIVE Paraguay, welcomes the group to Valenzuela. Who they are Fundación Virgen de Guadalupe was founded in 1986 by Lic. Florentina Ramírez and has worked to protect children and adolescents in Paraguay ever since. Its programs include a residential home, arts and sports activities through Club Rubato Guadalupe, and support for young people heading to university. Together with Escuelita Bitcoin, the Foundation added a Bitcoin and digital technology program for its teenagers. It covers six subjects: Bitcoin: what it is and why it holds value Blockchain: how the shared ledger works Digital wallets: creating, receiving and safeguarding funds Mining: how miners secure the network Programming: the basics of building digital tools Financial education: saving, budgeting and planning Twenty teenagers have completed the training. Six of them now teach it to others through their own workshops. The students have become the teachers. From the classroom to the site Mining is one module of the program. At Valenzuela, the group saw that module in person. They started at the electrical infrastructure, where hydroelectric power from Paraguay's grid enters the site. From there they followed that power through the cooling systems to the machines that help secure the Bitcoin network, and finished in the repair area where our technicians keep the equipment running. The tour began at the site's electrical infrastructure, where clean hydroelectric power comes in. Our team explains how the cooling system works. Inside a liquid-cooled mining container. One student toured in the hard hat of Ing. Gustavo Benítez, who leads IT at Valenzuela. Questions came fast at every stop. Why we opened our doors Every digital hub needs two things: power and people. Paraguay has the power. For decades, the country sold its surplus hydroelectricity across the border. Our 300 MW across Valenzuela and Yguazú turns that clean power into compute here in Paraguay, and another 100 MW is on the way. A hub also needs people. The engineers, technicians and developers who will run this infrastructure in the years ahead are in school today. Some of them may have walked our site last week. We believe Paraguay can be Latin America's next digital hub. Hubs grow where young people can see the work up close and picture themselves doing it. Community first, wherever we operate We operate on three continents, in Canada, Sweden and Paraguay. In every one of them we work the same way: we hire locally, we partner locally and we invest locally. In Paraguay, that has meant upgrading rural schools near our Valenzuela campus with new air conditioning, fresh paint and new chalkboards, and helping light city streets. In Sweden, it means backing hockey in Boden. Opening our doors to students is part of the same commitment. When young people understand the infrastructure in their own community, they can see a future in it. Gabriel Lamas with members of the Foundation's team. Thank you Thank you to Fundación Virgen de Guadalupe and the tutors, teachers and management team who made the visit happen. Thank you to Escuelita Bitcoin for building the program, and to our Paraguay team for leading the tour. Learning is the first step. We look forward to seeing where this group takes it.

Strategy buys another $22 million of Bitcoin, increases planned share buybacks

COINS NEWS

Strategy bought the Bitcoin dip—again. The digital asset treasury giant disclosed Monday that it added more than $22 million worth of the cryptocurrency last week, as prices swung between roughly $80,000 and $84,000. The latest purchase added 267 Bitcoin to Strategy’s total holdings, which are currently worth around $64 billion. The company also spent roughly $193 million buying back shares of STRC, one of its preferred stocks, which pays investors regular dividends. Its board also approved an additional $1 billion for preferred-share buybacks, bringing the total authorization to $3 billion. Strategy’s latest acquisition comes a week after its previous purchase of $21 million worth of Bitcoin. Since August, the company has bought Bitcoin on six separate occasions, renewing its aggressive buying streak.

AI vs 1,076 human traders, battle results: if the 69% who lose let AI trade, would the top 1% make less?

COINS NEWS

The head to head results: AI made more money than 844 (78%) human traders AI had the smaller worst drop than 1,007 (94%) human traders 206 (19%) human traders made more but with a deeper drop 26 (2.4%) human traders beat the AI on both worst drop and gains Made money: traders 31%, the AI 89%. The 206 who made more had a median worst drop of 49%, against 10% for the AI on the same dates. The humans: - The median trader lost $12,326. - Half lost 90% of their account at some point. - 23% got liquidated in just their last 14 active days. - Small accounts ($1k to $10k) did worse: 21% made money and 72% lost 90% at some point. The top 1%: Of the top 1% by profit, 53 were bots and 25 were humans. The bots made a median of 874 trades a day. Perps are zero-sum between traders before fees. The top 1%'s profit has to come from somewhere, and a lot of it comes from the 69% who lose. So the question: If the 69% who lose let AI trade for them instead, would the top 1% make less? As AI will have lesser drops hence top 1% will have less losing cash to snatch? And if you've been on the losing side, would you let AI trade for you or does that kill the point of trading?

I've seen alot of negativity lately! People seem fed up with not getting rich over night anymore.. I don't know if Bitcoin will ever reach new ATHs, i sure hope so, but it seems like people are frustrated that it doesn't feel super hyped anymore. But nothing can hold its hype constant over a long period.. Other things also happens in the world, and people do have other focuses. Right now AI is drawing alot of attention, and thats just the way it is. Maybe BTC & crypto will one day again have the focus. Do you remember in 2019 after the bull-run that got everyones eye on BTC? It went from 20k to 6k then 3k.. People was talking exactly like they do now.. "It was a nice run" and it felt like there was no Energy left in BTC, and people were focusing on other stuff. Well.. that is 7 years ago... Now bitcoin is at 82k and people are saying the same stuff.. What about zooming out for a moment.. Imagine if you had bought at 6k & 3k?? That wouldn't be so bad would it.. submitted by /u/KrazyKreutz [link] [comments]

A moral case for bitcoin: not exploiting others by not lending.

COINS NEWS

One of the main reasons I like bitcoin is that it reduces participation in the system of debt entrapment. When you hold fiat in a bank account, you're participating in lending that money out (and more) to others who have to pay it back, plus a lot of interest. If you hold bitcoin in your own wallet, that money isn't lent out to anyone. submitted by /u/keequalshalfmvsqrd [link] [comments]

I miss the old crypto days

COINS NEWS

I miss the old days where you would just get an address to send to. I tried paying for a saas using crypto, and holy shit, what a pain in the ass. There wasn’t even an option to just pay with BTC, LTC, ETH, etc. I had to connect a wallet, so I linked my Trust Wallet. I had $20 worth of ETH, but apparently, I needed USDT instead. Fine, I swapped my ETH to USDT. Turns out, USDT exists on different networks, and I somehow ended up with USDT on Tron. So I had to swap that to USDT on Ethereum, and it seemed like almost 50% went toward energy rental or whatever the hell that was. Finally, I had enough USDT on Ethereum to make the payment. Guess what? Now it tells me I don’t have enough ETH to cover the gas fee. Wtf? I literally started with ETH. Why couldn’t you just let me pay with ETH in the first place? Instead, I had to go through multiple swaps, deal with different networks, lose money on fees, and still couldn’t make the payment. *this rant was cleaned up by LLM but my experience was real submitted by /u/EvilNinja [link] [comments]

What Is Missing for Bitcoin to Dominate the Financial World?

COINS NEWS

I know a little about Bitcoin, but I’m not deeply immersed in the space. Perhaps that allows me to see things from the perspective of people outside the Bitcoin community as well. Gold, besides being a store of value, has practical applications in jewelry, electronics, and other industries. Bitcoin, on the other hand, relies on demand for its digital and monetary properties, such as its programmed scarcity and the ability to transfer value without traditional intermediaries. My question is: how much of Bitcoin’s value comes from its actual utility, and how much depends on the expectation that someone else will pay more for it in the future? I believe that, to grow more sustainably, Bitcoin needs to move beyond speculation. Being widely known as an investment is not enough; it needs broader real-world adoption, especially as a means of payment and transferring value. After all, limited supply does not guarantee demand. Could real-world adoption be what’s missing for Bitcoin to justify its value in the long term? submitted by /u/AcanthisittaFuture38 [link] [comments]

Does it include a bonus? The transaction won’t answer that. Addresses don’t come with colleagues’ names, and an output might be change returning to the company. But knowing this is the payroll run gives you a set of potentially related amounts to compare. Coworkers comparing their own payments could fill in more of the picture. This doesn’t reveal the company’s entire wallet balance. That’s a privacy trade-off with payment batching. Several recipients share one transaction, which can save fees and simplify sending. Each recipient can also inspect all its outputs and amounts. CoinJoin beforehand can make earlier ownership links harder to follow; it doesn’t hide the outputs of an ordinary batch made afterward. Separate payments remove that immediate grouping, although spending one transaction’s change on the next can leave a trail. I wrote a short illustrated article about this, including a shop example: https://medium.com/@molnardavid84/three-payments-why-send-three-transactions-73bf373408fd Disclosure: I’m an independent Bitcoin developer and contribute to Ginger Wallet, Wasabi Wallet and Bitcoin Core. https://preview.redd.it/32uhikxthgwh1.png?width=2400&format=png&auto=webp&s=cea5f9872dfd34f41b3551f23f190890314fff58 submitted by /u/molnardavid84 [link] [comments]

What is an MPC wallet and is it safer than a seed phrase?

COINS NEWS

Recently, I've been noticing these MPC wallets in my feed. I genuinely don't know if it is a real security thing or just a marketing stunt. If you don't know, MPC stands for multi-party computation. I think MPC wallets split a private key into pieces stored in different places. And by design, you need more than one piece to sign transactions. I am not a tech guy, but I assume since the keys are distributed, there's no single point of failure. This makes such wallets more secure. However, I still need to trust whoever holds the other parts of the private key. What happens if the company behind these MPC wallets shuts down? With a seed phrase, I can type it into a different wallet to move it there. With MPC, am I dependent on the provider to access my funds? Has anyone here used MPC wallets? How was your experience? submitted by /u/Additional-Ask-2775 [link] [comments]

Agentic payment space is dominated by Solana, Base and Polygon

On-chain AI agent payments (primarily via the x402 protocol) are heavily concentrated across three primary networks: Solana: Leads overall transaction volume with 20.1 million agentic transfers. Base: Ranks second with 14.7 million transfers, while commanding the highest active monthly agent senders. Polygon: Tied closely for second with 14.7 million transfers. Together, these three chains handle ~96.3% of all recorded agentic payment transfers. Minor activity remains distributed across Algorand (1.1M), Celo (727.8K), Arc (3.7K), and XDC Network (426). submitted by /u/semanticweb [link] [comments]

How much does a Schedule K-1 influence your investment decisions?

COINS NEWS

Hi r/CryptoCurrency, We’re members of the iShares Digital Assets team and are trying to better understand how investors think about Schedule K-1s. K-1s often come up as a reason investors avoid certain products, but it isn’t always clear which aspects create the most friction, or how much of the concern comes from firsthand experience versus perceptions. A few questions for the community: Would receiving a K-1 materially affect whether you invest in a product? If so, to what extent: I won't invest in a K-1 issuing ETP under any scenario I prefer a 1099 but a K-1 issuing ETP is okay if the investment merits of the structure more than offset the inconvenience I'm indifferent between a K-1 and a 1099. If so, what specifically concerns you: tax-filing complexity, timing of the K-1, tax-preparation costs, retirement-account considerations, or something else? Have you personally received and filed a K-1 before? If you have, was the experience easier, harder, or about what you expected? Is there anything that would change your view on receiving a K-1? submitted by /u/iSharesOfficial [link] [comments]

Is 24/7 trading worth it if RWA assets don't give you shareholder rights?

COINS NEWS

One of the biggest USPs of tokenized stocks is 24/7 trading without traditional market-hours restrictions. These onchain stocks don't give you ownership of the underlying shares. You only get exposure to the stock's price. Some issuers let holders redeem onchain stocks for real shares if you complete the KYC requirements. If you are day trading, ownership of the stocks might not matter a lot. But if you're investing for the next five or ten years, ownership rights, dividends, and the ability to redeem your holdings become much more important. So would you give up shareholder rights for 24/7 trading? Or would you rather own traditional shares? submitted by /u/MathematicianOwn8847 [link] [comments]

Is it worth hiding your addresses from the server your wallet talks to, or is that overkill for a normal holder?

COINS NEWS

Is it worth hiding your addresses from the server your wallet talks to, or is that overkill for a normal holder? Genuine question. Full disclosure first: I built a small tool for this, but no link and no name, because I honestly don't know if it should exist outside my own circle. The problem as I see it: unless you run your own node, your wallet asks someone else's server about your addresses. In Sparrow the easy choice is a public server, and that server can learn which addresses are yours, roughly how much you hold, and your IP. A friend of mine holds bitcoin and couldn't care less about any of this. Explaining didn't work, so I made him a Mac app that connects Sparrow through an encrypted tunnel to a node I run, and keeps Sparrow's settings locked so he can't get it wrong. It works for him. My questions for you: Is "leak as little as possible about your BTC activity" good practice for everyone, or paranoia for someone who isn't doing anything special? Is a middle step like this actually useful? I know the real answer is "run your own node", and I agree that's the goal. Sparrow also has Tor. But most people I know will never run a node. The obvious weakness, before anyone says it: whoever runs the node (me) could see my friend's addresses. He's just trusting me instead of a stranger. There's also a mode that points the app at your own node through your own WireGuard tunnel, so nothing passes through me, but it needs a specific setup (WireGuard, Electrum server over TLS, mempool) and I've only tested it on my own installation. Not selling anything. Real problem or made-up one? submitted by /u/kidney450 [link] [comments]

Are Permissionless, Uncensorable, and Private Payment System Inevitable?

COINS NEWS

As I watch the meteoric rise and rise of Monero/XMR, Zcash/ZEC, and DASH, I wonder if these technologies will become indispensable to average citizens wishing to escape monetary inflation, dystopian surveillance, and government/corporate tyranny? I'd say these coins have demonstrable utility, and nothing will change this. I remember being a kid and watching a guy in my town get arrested for pirating a Metallica album on Limewire. I thought, "Will this really work"? I see many parallels between the file-sharing wars and the crypto movement. In the end, Hollywood and the music industry simply had to suck it up that people would be copying their content and sharing it as they please, which is the norm currently. They could not have lost any harder. Are we approaching a time when the government and banks will convulse rapidly and try to criminalize private crypto transactions? And precisely when they attempt this, will they discover that this is a fool's errand, and become the laughingstock of young Gen Z crypto bros everywhere? Private uncensorable crypto seems like an ideal solution to runaway inflation, surveillance overreach, and artificial friction and limits on the global economy. Therefore I conclude that its rise is inevitable. submitted by /u/No-Masterpiece2246 [link] [comments]

Title: Put 55k RUB into BTC at $120k, now it's 40k RUB at $85k — got 30k cash, what would you do? Hey everyone, long-time lurker, first-time poster. Need some honest advice from people who've been through a full cycle. My situation: • Put 55k RUB (~120k** — yes, bought the top, please be gentle • That position is now worth about 40k RUB (~85k** • So I'm down roughly 27% on paper • Just got 30k RUB (~$370) as a gift, sitting in cash What I'm wondering: 1. Is it worth DCA-ing this 30k into BTC at $85k right now, or should I wait for a dip to $75-78k? 2. Should I just hold the cash and forget about it for a few months? 3. Or is it smarter to average down my existing position rather than open a new one? I know nobody has a crystal ball.

My phone was being bombarded with notifications. They changed my largest crypto assets into another, added two withdrawal addresses to take it off. They couldn't withdraw it !!!

Title: Is DCA into Bitcoin still worth it in 2026?

I was looking at what would have happened if you invested €100/month into BTC, starting in different years and holding until October 2026. Here are the approximate results: I calculated what investing €100/month into BTC from different starting years would be worth today (October 2026). Here are the approximate results: 2011: €19,000 invested → €78.9M 2012: €17,800 invested → €17.9M 2013: €16,600 invested → €2.31M 2014: €15,400 invested → €879K 2015: €14,200 invested → €634K 2016: €13,000 invested → €273K 2017: €11,800 invested → €97K 2018: €10,600 invested → €53K 2019: €9,400 invested → €38K 2020: €8,200 invested → €22K 2021: €7,000 invested → €13K 2022: €5,800 invested → €11K 2023: €4,600 invested → €6.9K 2024: €3,400 invested → €3.6K 2025: €2,200 invested → €2.2K Approximate simulation using BTC at ~€72,700. Excludes fees and taxes. Obviously, early investors benefited massively. But with BTC now being a much more mature asset, can we realistically expect strong returns going forward? I keep reading about people that got in early and made a killing, and I’m genuinely happy for them.

I made a free game: retire on Bitcoin with $500k in any month since 2013, then live through the real price history. Does your stack survive?

COINS NEWS

Update: thanks for all the feedback, some of it is now in the game: ???? Buy back half, not just all (thanks u/Environmental_Toe603) ???? Blind mode: a mystery start month, with dates, prices and headlines hidden until the end, so hindsight doesn’t help (thanks u/OverdueNobility for the 2022 point). It never drops you into the easy early years either. ???? Daily challenge: the same mystery start for everyone each day. Post your result below! A difficulty label for each start month, and shared results now show your rank in the link preview. --- I made a free Bitcoin retirement simulator a while ago, and I got curious about a simple question: if you’d retired on Bitcoin some time in the past, would your money have lasted? It turns out the answer depends a lot on when you retired. So I turned it into a game: HODL or Fold. https://bitcoinlifespan.com/hodl-or-fold/ How it works You start with $500,000 of BTC at the price of the month you choose (anything from 2013 on), plus a lifestyle: $3k, $5k or $8k a month, rising with inflation. Then you relive the real price history from that month to today. When the big moments hit (the 2013 crash, the 2017 top, COVID, the 2021 top, the 2022 winter and so on), you choose: HODL, sell half for cash, buy back in, or spend 25% less for a year. At the end you get a rank (???? Diamond Hands, ???? Paper Hands, ???? Pizza Guy, ????️ Wen Lambo…) and a comparison with pure HODL from the same start. Things I tried to get right Choices aren’t rigged. Selling before a crash can beat holding, and selling at the bottom can sink you. The game just shows what history did next. Real data: month-end prices from Coin Metrics’ free community data. The interesting finding: in real history, holding usually survives, unless you spend big and retire near a peak. Late 2013, late 2017 and most of 2021 are brutal on an $8k/month budget. “Surprise me” drops you into those most of the time. Privacy, because people rightly ask: there’s no sign-up, and the game runs entirely in your browser and saves nothing. The site itself has the usual Google Analytics and a cookie banner, like most sites. It’s my site, it’s free, and it has no ads or paywall. Not financial advice, obviously: it’s a game about the past. I’d love feedback, especially on which moments I should add and whether the ranks feel fair. Post your rank and start month below. I retired in Jan 2016 on $8,000 a month. Still standing after 10.8 years, with $36,973,917 left today. https://bitcoinlifespan.com/hodl-or-fold/ submitted by /u/0a0d0s0 [link] [comments]

The big steps were the 2011, 2013, 2017, 2021 and 2025 cycle peaks, each followed by a crash of 50% to 93%. Spot ETFs were approved in 2024. 10 years: This window includes most of the early-cycle gains. The growth rate has faded as the asset has grown. 5 years: You’d be up about 33%, or roughly 6% a year, even though the price is far above the 2021 low. The 2021 peak (~$69k) was followed by a 2022 crash and then the 2025 high. 1 year: The decline reflects the post-peak correction. A Feb 2026 selloff took the price to about $63,000, with drivers cited including the U.S.–Iran crisis and money rotating from Bitcoin ETFs into AI stocks. The low came in June at about $57,800, when the price fell about 18% in the month and the Fear & Greed Index hit “Extreme Fear” (15). 6 months: The price rose from about $75,000 to a peak near $83,000 in May. It then dropped to the June low and recovered sharply. 3 months: This is the rebound. August gained about 25% and September about 8%, and sentiment moved from fear toward greed. 1 month: September’s rally topped out around $86,600 on Sep 21, after the Fed raised rates to 3.75–4.00% on Sep 16, and the price has chopped sideways since. Headwinds include August CPI at 3.4%, Brent crude near $103, and the failed CLARITY Act Senate vote. 1 week: The price slipped about 3% in the first part of the week. A weak September jobs report (+29k) briefly lifted it, but spot ETFs saw about $681 million in net outflows over Oct 5–9, and about $1 billion in profit-taking was reported around Oct 8. Today: Very thin weekend trading, with about 657 BTC of volume on Kraken. Nothing is moving the price until US ETF flow data and futures markets reopen Monday. Upcoming catalysts are the FOMC decision on Oct 28 and Deribit options expiry on Oct 30. Summary The longer trend is still strongly up, but returns have been shrinking cycle after cycle. The 1-year picture is negative because the price is still recovering from the October 2025 peak. Over the past 3 to 6 months it has rebounded about 26% from the summer lows and is now stuck in a range of roughly $80,000 to $87,000. Short-term direction depends on the Fed, inflation and oil, and ETF flows. Some analysts say Bitcoin has exited its bear market, citing a move back above its 365-day moving average. Others point out that the all-time high is still far away, and none of this is a forecast. This is analysis, not financial advice. My Guess It will be $165,000 for a Bitcoin in 4 years (2030). submitted by /u/securityguardnard [link] [comments]

BTC holding $81.4k Fib support - what's the next move?

COINS NEWS

Hey traders, my AI tracking model flagged Bitcoin testing a critical Fibonacci support around $81,443. Whale activity is showing mixed signals, so it's a bit of a coin toss here. If it holds, we could see a move up to $85k, but a break below $78k would be a major concern. What are your thoughts on this level? Are you leaning bullish or bearish here? submitted by /u/sailabtap [link] [comments]

COINS NEWS

America can create more dollars. It can’t create more Bitcoin beyond Bitcoin’s rules. That makes this worth watching: ???? People around the world want digital dollars. ???????? American finance wants greater access to Bitcoin. One offers dollar liquidity. The other offers digital scarcity. Imagine issuing the currency people want to spend while building a major financial industry around the asset they want to hold. No secret master plan required. Just millions of decisions responding to different needs. And no, choosing stablecoins isn’t foolish. If you need to pay rent next week, Bitcoin’s volatility matters more than its potential over twenty years. But a token that stays worth $1 doesn’t guarantee that dollar’s purchasing power. A stable price and stable purchasing power are different promises. For years, we asked whether Bitcoin would defeat the dollar. Here’s the more uncomfortable question: What if both succeed—and American finance positions itself to benefit from both? submitted by /u/sylsau [link] [comments]

Unaminer - a game where humans solve the blockchain

COINS NEWS

I know everyone is tired of AI flop, but I wanted to just make my idea come true and offer some fun to people who like some puzzles and like to click stuff while watching their portfolios grow. Yes, i built a game using AI coding to get you solving hashes by hand. Because why not. It’s called Unaminer. You pick 8 rocks, and their letters become the nonce of a real block header. The server hashes it with double SHA-256, and the more leading zeros your hash has, the deeper you dig. To get you actually think - you need to solve blueprints to get energy or....wait for a while and try again. Everyone digs in the same shared world, and the whole idea is simple: can anyone find the hash that reaches the core? You can create teams to do it with your friends. You can do it on guest account (no log in) or create account (no private data asked). You can see what level hash your team solved. Also you can see how the world is doing and what's the current leaderboard (previous worlds etc). Every time when someone gets the hash, the world resets to a new one...and we all start again. Right now the difficulty is set to 8 bits for testing reasons. There are some...plans in the future. I am just testing it right now and if there is anyone interested, beta invite: https://beta.unaminer.com/?invite=319XZ6QYWFAX (for creating a team or joining one, please first create account, as guest accounts are reset after 5min when closing tab on your browser). PS! There is only one beta invite link and its this one here. There is a feedback button in the game or just leave feedback here. I hope admins allow it as it's not asking any funds at this moment and won't have anything other than "support and get a lame miner badge" in the future aswell. Or if I'm completely going in wrong direction...just tell me. submitted by /u/mihkelbrocast [link] [comments]

Saturday project: We brute-forced two vanity addresses on a laptop

COINS NEWS

A vanity address is one where you pick the first few characters and let a program grind through keys until one matches. We rewrote our glossary entry on them this week (the old one had the split-key part backwards, more on that below) and figured we should run a couple of searches ourselves instead of quoting other people’s numbers. Setup: VanitySearch on a MacBook Pro with an M3 Max, 12 CPU threads, no GPU. About 74 million keys a second once the machine wasn’t doing anything else. Search 1: 1LearnBTC, letter case ignored. Found 1LeArNBtcECPZj7Bd5oeNcUJnhpVddy81U after 46 minutes and about 203 billion tries. That’s half the average for the pattern, so we got a bit lucky. Search 2: bc1qlearn8tc, exact. Found bc1qlearn8tcerg966qrqtwaelyt06fq2ze7zrsg9t after 6 hours and 1 minute and about 1.24 trillion tries. 12 percent more than average, so slightly unlucky. Why the gap? Both patterns pick eight characters. But bech32 addresses are all lowercase, so there is no “any case” shortcut. In the legacy search most letters had two chances out of 58 to match (e or E, a or A, and so on), which cuts the work a lot. On average the bech32 job was 2.7 times bigger. The gap from 2.7x to 8x was luck. A vanity search is a lottery you keep playing until you win, and sometimes you win early. Two things we learned writing it up: The bech32 alphabet has no 1, b, i or o. So bc1qlearnbtc is impossible, which is why we searched for bc1qlearn8tc instead. Never let a website generate a vanity address for you. Whoever generated the key can spend from it, whatever they promise. Run the tool yourself, or use split-key generation, where you keep a secret the searcher never sees. Our old entry said neither side sees the full key with split-key. That was wrong: you do, the searcher doesn’t. Fixed, and logged on our corrections page.

I built a free desktop app that turns Bitcoin cycle into a concrete investment plan (open source, Python/PyQt6) - Ho creato un’app desktop gratuita che trasforma i cicli di Bitcoin in un piano operativo (open source, Python/PyQt6)

COINS NEWS

I got tired of reading Bitcoin cycle analyses (halving timing, buy zones, “sell 25% at H+12”) and then having to turn them into numbers by hand. So I built BTC Cycle Planner, a desktop app that does it for me. What it is A local app, not a signal service and not a trading bot. It never touches an exchange or a wallet. What it does Reads documents (PDF, TXT, MD) and extracts the numeric parameters with plain, inspectable rules. Every extracted value shows the page and the exact text it came from. Merges several documents. The most recent one wins, and conflicting values are flagged. Builds a plan from those parameters, live price and indicators (CoinGecko, Fear & Greed) and your capital. The plan covers: where you are in the cycle; a buy ladder, with zones re-anchored to the current power-law floor; a daily “drip” while price is below the floor; a front-loaded DCA with boosts and a kill-switch; a scheduled exit plan. Has a chart tab with live price (60 s polling), ladder bands, power-law fair value and floor, invalidation levels, the expected bottom window and the planned exits. It supports log scale, click-to-measure, and PNG export. Warns you about its own weak spots. It flags single-source bias, promotional content, diverging bottom estimates, the tiny sample behind the “4-year cycle”, and runs a stress test on the ladder’s average entry price. It is bilingual (Italian and English), has an in-app guide with search, and updates itself from GitHub releases. What it is NOT It doesn’t predict anything. It mechanically applies whatever the documents say. It’s only as good as the documents you feed it. The extraction rules were built around a specific set of English-language cycle PDFs, so other documents may only be partly understood. It’s an educational tool, not financial advice. The 4-year cycle rests on four observations, and ETFs and institutions may well break it. Stack: Python 3.9+, PyQt6, pyqtgraph, pypdf. Installers for Windows, macOS and Linux are built by GitHub Actions. Repo and releases: https://github.com/enkas79/BTC_Cycle I’d especially like feedback on three things: Which other document formats or authors should the extractor support? Which warnings are missing from the “critical partner” section? Is the plan logic reasonable, or would you structure the exit differently? Leggo analisi sul ciclo di Bitcoin (tempi dagli halving, zone di acquisto, “vendi il 25% a H+12”) e poi devo trasformarle in numeri a mano. Per questo ho scritto BTC Cycle Planner. Cos’è: un’app locale. Non è un servizio di segnali né un bot, e non tocca exchange o wallet. Cosa fa: legge PDF/TXT/MD ed estrae i parametri con regole trasparenti, mostrando pagina e frammento di testo di ogni valore; unisce più documenti (vince il più recente, i conflitti sono segnalati); genera il piano con prezzo e indicatori di mercato e con il tuo capitale: fase del ciclo, ladder di acquisto riancorata al floor della power law, drip giornaliero, DCA con boost e kill-switch, piano di uscita; ha una scheda grafico con prezzo live e livelli, scala log, uscite, click per misurare ed esportazione PNG; ti avvisa dei suoi stessi limiti: fonte unica, contenuti promozionali, stime divergenti, campione minimo del “ciclo di 4 anni”, stress test; è in italiano e inglese e ha una guida integrata con ricerca. Cosa non è: non prevede nulla, applica meccanicamente ciò che dicono i documenti, e le regole di estrazione sono costruite su un insieme specifico di PDF in inglese. È uno strumento educativo, non consulenza finanziaria. Repo: https://github.com/enkas79/BTC_Cycle. Cerco feedback su formati da supportare, avvertenze mancanti e logica di uscita. submitted by /u/enkas79 [link] [comments]

How to verify that a multisig address can actually sign a message without leaking info?

COINS NEWS

I moved all my Bitcoins to multisig (one seed per hardware wallet vendor). But now I face a new problem: quantum attacks. I'm in the 23% of addresses at risk because I did "warm up" my bc1q... (native segwit multisig / P2WSH) address by first sending a few sats and verifying I could then move them. For I was there in the early days when bogus addresses (but valid) were generated and then people couldn't move their coins anymore. So I learned that lesson and ALWAYS verify that I can indeed sign transactions. Now as it is multisig I understand there are two secrets to crack, so it's harder than coins on singlesig. And I made sure to stay underneath the "satoshi wall". I could find addresses from my multisig wallet by taking the two Zpub and deriving addresses but... Is there a relatively easy way that when the day comes I'll really be able to sign transactions moving the coins without broadcasting any info? Should I for example use Sparrow in offline mode and see if I can prepare a signed transaction and then use a transaction decoder ? And I'd then be reasonably sure that a) the multisig address instead belongs to me and b) I'll be able to move the coins when comes the day I want to move them? Or is there a way to run a fake Bitcoin node (using a modified codebase) on my own LAN (not connected to the Internet) and simulate transactions there? Is there an easy way to do that? Basically: it's a lot of money to me and I'm scared to send coins to an address that hasn't been "warmed up". submitted by /u/Big_Check_5226 [link] [comments]

Bitcoin theft after a Google ad impersonating Trezor — looking for firsthand reports

COINS NEWS

I use a Trezor Model T and suffered a Bitcoin theft on October 15, 2026. I am documenting the incident and looking for firsthand reports of similar deceptive ads. The sponsored Google Search result displayed www.trezor.io and called itself “Trezor Suite App (Official)”. Clicking it ultimately led to an impersonation page hosted on Google Sites. My screenshot below shows the ad as displayed; I also retained a screen recording of the redirect. I am not linking the fake destination here. What concerns me most is the gap between the official domain shown in the ad and the site the click actually reached. I want the ad review and destination checks investigated. This does not establish that Trezor’s hardware or official website was breached, or that every similar report has the same cause or attacker. Did you encounter a sponsored result displaying an official wallet domain that led somewhere else? Reports from people who spotted it without losing funds are useful too. Public comments describing the ad are welcome. If you prefer a private report, the dedicated contact is crypto.adscam.reports@proton.me. An alias, approximate date, wallet brand/model, and a short account in your own words are enough to start. Retained ad screenshots or destination details can help; remove unrelated personal information. No loss amount is needed. The aim is to collect independent evidence for qualified lawyers to assess possible joint action and help prevent further harm. This is an independent affected-user initiative, not Google/Trezor support, a law firm, or a recovery service. There are no fees or recovery promises. Never send recovery words, keys, passwords, or codes. We will not ask you to connect a wallet, sign anything, or transfer funds. Please state whether you agree to private review and an email follow-up; your report will not be shared with third parties without separate permission. https://preview.redd.it/q7xe4ng5fzvh1.png?width=2482&format=png&auto=webp&s=f8bf4e172e10eac2880b849c5a26c12c3a0e2d23 submitted by /u/ScientistNo1829 [link] [comments]

I put every Polymarket & Kalshi crypto price bet on one page, and combined the Bitcoin ones into a prediction forecast

COINS NEWS

Hey everyone, About a year ago I posted Polywhaler here, a site that tracks big trades on Polymarket. It had a small "crypto price predictions" section that I've now rebuilt into a proper page. Polymarket runs a ton of crypto price bets at once (5 minute up/down, daily, weekly "above $X", monthly "will it hit $X", yearly targets), but they're spread across hundreds of separate events. Now you pick a coin and see all of them in one place, with the odds history, every price level, volume, and the live spot price next to it so you can compare what's priced in with where the coin actually is. You can also flip the chart to whale flow to see whether the big money is buying or selling a given outcome. A few things it shows right now: - 36% chance BTC dips to $77.5k at some point this month - 58% chance it touches $90k before the year is out The part I'm most excited about is the Bitcoin forecast. Each of those BTC bets is really one point on a curve, so I combined all ~270 BTC markets from Polymarket and Kalshi into a single forecast for where BTC ends up, from 1 week to 1 year out. Deep markets count more than thin ones, there's a correction for long shots being overpriced, and it reruns every hour. Right now it has BTC around $82.7k on Nov 1, with an 80% chance it lands between $71k and $96k. It also gives a confidence score, which measures how much the markets agree with each other, not how bullish they are. The markets page is free and doesn't need an account, and the headline forecast is free too. The full distribution and the list of every market behind it are in the paid plan, which is how I keep the site running. polywhaler.com/crypto Curious whether anyone else watches these odds, and whether the forecast matches your gut. Feedback is welcome :) submitted by /u/FeralDoge [link] [comments]

A rogue OpenAI agent robbed a crypto wallet to obtain funds to carry out a task

COINS NEWS

OpenAI has seen another case of its AI agents going rogue—and this time, crypto is involved. In a recent report, the company detailed how an internal research model used a crypto wallet without permission to pay the fees needed to test an app on Ethereum’s Sepolia test network. Although the tokens had little real-world value, the model had no authorization to collect or spend them. The incident happened on June 26, when the model was asked to update a crypto trading app and get its code running on Sepolia, a test version of Ethereum. The prompt gave it neither a funded wallet nor permission to spend tokens, and after failing to get free test tokens through developer services, the model wrote a script checking 362 wallet addresses linked to public recovery phrases, a crypto term that describes sets of words that can act as a password to unlock crypto accounts. It eventually found an account with enough tokens to cover the fees. Internal logs showed that the model deliberated over whether it had permission to use the account, but then decided the public recovery phrase and the tokens’ lack of cash value made the spending acceptable. It finished the task and charged the fees to that wallet, but left the unauthorized spending out of its final report. OpenAI only discovered the incident on Sept. 25 during an audit of earlier model runs.

Bitcoin Bancorp (BCBC) working through the Bitcoin Depot asset deal

COINS NEWS

Bitcoin Bancorp was the winning bidder earlier this month for a chunk of Bitcoin Depot’s assets out of the Chapter 11 case. That includes roughly 2,446 ATM kiosks, floorspace agreements, parts inventory, IP, trademarks, patents, and the BitcoinDepot.com domain. Some portions have already closed and they’re taking possession of those.

Random tokens keep showing up in my wallet

COINS NEWS

Every few weeks, a random token I have never heard of appears in my wallet. I know I shouldn't interact with these tokens, as they are usually scams. What I do not understand is why anyone would spend money sending them to thousands of wallets. Are they hoping people will try to sell the tokens and somehow fall for a scam? Or are they just trying to identify active wallets so they can target them later? Also, is there any risk from simply receiving these tokens, even if I never interact with them? Or is it safe to just ignore them? submitted by /u/Additional-Ask-2775 [link] [comments]

Concordium Becomes the Exclusive Identity Verification Layer for XDC

COINS NEWS

AI agents can already discover services, move money, and pay each other using x402. But being able to transact doesn’t prove who’s behind the agent. That’s where Concordium comes in. XDC Network has selected Concordium as the exclusive identity verification layer for XDC AI, marking our first full-network Agent Registry integration. Here’s why this matters: ???? Real adoption: An entire AI agent marketplace has integrated Concordium’s identity infrastructure, moving beyond individual agent registrations. ???? Verifiable ownership: Every agent on XDC AI can obtain the Verified by Concordium Badge, proving that a verified individual or business stands behind it. ???? Privacy by design: Anyone can verify the badge on-chain without seeing the owner’s personal information. ???? No migration: Agents keep their existing XDC wallets, code, and operations. ???? Already live: Agent verification is available now, with no need for developers to hold $CCD. XDC provides the payment rails. Concordium provides the identity layer. From building the Agent Registry to seeing an entire ecosystem adopt it. That’s a milestone worth paying attention to. ???? Full announcement: https://www.concordium.com/article/concordium-identity-verification-layer-xdc-ai ???? Live integration: https://xdcai.tech/agent-verification As AI agents begin handling real money, should verified ownership become the standard rather than the exception? submitted by /u/sak2811 [link] [comments]

Help using software wallets as co-signers in a multisig (bitcoin core signer, electrum signer, sparrow coord)

COINS NEWS

Hello everyone I wanted to create a multisig for example 3 of 5 using sparrow wallet as the coordinator. I wanted signers to be mix of hardware wallets and software wallets: - hardware wallet - hardware wallet - hardware wallet - bitcoin core - electrum But i'm having a lot of difficulty getting the software wallets to work with sparrow (or being confident/comfortable that it's working as intended and won't have issues) My issues and concerns: - Electrum when creating a standard single sig gives a derivation path of m/0h (not the m/48'/0'/0'/2' derivation path that sparrow is looking for) and a zpub (not an xpub). - I asked AI and it then kept telling me that's wrong and to create a multisig wallet in electrum but just don't give the xpubs of the co-signers. But electrum forces you to add co-signers and then AI said, just give it fake xpubs! I'm not sure/confident this is correct way to have electrum added as a co-signer to sparrow coordinator even if it did accept it. - Bitcoin core gives a single sig derivation path of: 84h/0h/0h (again not the m/48'/0'/'0/2' derivation path sparrow is looking for) - I believe h is same as ' so in sparrow anywhere there is an h I should substitute it with an '? - Is this not possible? If it is possible, is it not advisable to do? It seems very few people have tried this and maybe even fewer have software wallets like bitcoin core and electrum as co-signers with sparrow coordinator. The reason I wanted to do this was to diversify signers and to have some signers that were not hardware wallets. Software wallets would have their own laptop. Please help! I wanted to at least test/try it to see how I feel about the process, signing, backups, restoring, etc. It sounded nice to me on paper. Thank you submitted by /u/MarkTupper9 [link] [comments]

Waiting a few years to start spending your BTC looks like a free win in my simulator. Here's why that's misleading.

COINS NEWS

I built a free Bitcoin retirement simulator and tried something simple: same 2 BTC, same $3,000 a month, and the only thing I changed was when the spending starts. Start now: the stack lasts until about 2036 Start in 2030: it lasts until about 2050 Waiting looks like a free win. But the model assumes the price keeps rising over the long run, so waiting just means selling at higher prices. Then I made the price fall 70% right after the 2030 start. Same coins, same spending, and it runs out in 2037 instead of 2050. Thirteen years of difference, just from timing. Do you build a crash into your own plan, or just a smooth line? It's a model, not a forecast. The simulator is free with no signup if you want to try your own numbers: https://bitcoinlifespan.com/ submitted by /u/0a0d0s0 [link] [comments]

But to run the powerful algorithms that could solve hard problems (like drug design, materials science, or breaking certain codes), they need extra special resources called magic states. By making high quality magic states much cheaper to produce, quantum computers don’t need to be nearly as huge just to support these special operations. This is a concrete step toward building smaller, more practical, error-corrected quantum computers that can actually run useful programs instead of mostly just manufacturing their own fuel. Think of magic states as high purity fuel that a special engine needs. The old method required a massive factory (using almost the whole machine) just to refine a little bit of fuel. Cultivation is more like having a compact, efficient filter system that turns rough material into pure fuel with far less waste. Now much more of the machine can be used for the actual work. submitted by /u/semanticweb [link] [comments]

74% of Americans no longer trust the U.S. dollar to hold its value. 61% want to learn more about owning Bitcoin. The battle for awareness is over. The silent mutiny against fiat is already here. There’s one problem: A landmark national study shows the way we’ve explained Bitcoin for the last decade is actively repelling the very people ready to listen. "Digital Gold" is dead: It ranked near the bottom in voter focus groups. The 55% blind spot: More than half of voters still don't know they can buy BTC through major brokerages.

I recently found the Bitcoin address in my emails and, based on a Bitcoin address lookup website, it still appears to be valid and contains what is now a decent chunk of coin.

I made a free swipe game to test if you can tell real Bitcoin law news from fake

COINS NEWS

Here’s how it works. The game shows you one headline about Bitcoin and the law, like a court ruling, a seizure, a state law or an IRS rule. You swipe right if you think it really happened, left if you think it’s made up. After each swipe it tells you if you were right, explains the real story in a line or two and gives the source. It keeps a score and a streak as you go. There are 100 headlines, half real and half fake, shuffled every round. The fakes are real stories with one detail changed, which is what makes it harder than it sounds. One of the real ones is about federal agents finding 50,000 stolen Bitcoin hidden in a popcorn tin. I built it because a lot of Bitcoin law news gets repeated with the wrong detail, and this is a quick way to check what you actually know. It works on a phone with swipes and on a computer with the arrow keys. https://thebitcoinact.xyz/proof-of-law Which Bitcoin law story do you think I should add to the deck? submitted by /u/The_Bitcoin_Act [link] [comments]

Pyth Network is growing like crazy

COINS NEWS

Been looking into Pyth more lately and I feel like it’s starting to get overlooked. It’s not just a random oracle token. They’re actually selling first-party market data, their Q3 growth was pretty insane, and Robinhood is already using Pyth data to settle some of the 15-minute prediction markets in its new Predictions section. Switchboard also shut down its oracle operations recently, which takes out one of Pyth’s more direct competitors. Then there’s the buyback side. Pyth had already been using part of the DAO treasury to buy PYTH on the open market, and now they’ve approved using product revenue to keep buying more. So you’ve basically got a real data business growing underneath the token, more mainstream adoption, less competition, and actual recurring buy pressure. I’m not saying $1 is guaranteed or anything, but I really don’t think it’s a crazy target if they keep growing like this. Curious what the actual bear case is because I feel like I’m missing why more people aren’t talking about it. submitted by /u/OddlyDoddly [link] [comments]

AI agents are on a shopping spree: Total transactions on Base blockchain eclipse 138 million, Chainalysis finds

COINS NEWS

The field of agentic commerce, which describes the use of AI agents to carry out internet transactions, is rapidly maturing, and crypto is fueling the boom. That’s according to a new report by blockchain analytics platform Chainalysis, which found developers are increasingly giving AI agents their own budgets to buy the computing power, live web data, and code tools they need to complete tasks. The growth of agentic commerce over the past 15 months has been steep. On Base, the Coinbase-incubated blockchain, cumulative transactions through the x402 protocol—which lets bots automatically pay for online services using crypto—rose from about 1,500 in mid-2025 to more than 138 million by the third quarter of 2026. In practice, agentic commerce entails providing an AI bot with an allowance: A developer funds the bot’s wallet with stablecoins—typically Circle’s dollar-pegged USDC—and the bot pays for services as it works, without asking a person to approve each purchase. When it needs help with a task, it can pay to get up-to-date information, ask a more capable AI model for help, or use an automated tool to check software code for security flaws.

Liquidations are not the same thing as new demand

COINS NEWS

Today’s sell-off is being described as a leverage flush. That may explain why the move was so fast, but forced selling and genuine demand are two different things. Liquidations close existing positions. They do not tell us whether new buyers are entering the market. The latest U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF session also showed net outflows, so the immediate question is not simply whether leverage has cleared. It is whether anyone is replacing it with spot demand. That seems more useful than asking whether Bitcoin will bounce. What data do you think best shows genuine demand returning? submitted by /u/eToroTeam [link] [comments]

Notes on Thiel's Antichrist Lecture Night 3: Turnkey Enclosure, State Capture, and the Dual-Use Paradox

COINS NEWS

I've been attending Peter Thiel's 4-part lecture series in Nashville. Night 3 moved directly from macro-history into operational statecraft and financial architecture. While he speaks in theological terms, his analysis of international compliance grids touches directly on base-layer neutrality, state capture, and censorship resistance. Here is the breakdown of his thesis: The velocity bottleneck: Thiel argues that world-historical consolidation no longer happens through individual; charismatic conquest. Human biology and gerontocracy run out of time. To achieve global scale in late modernity, power shifts from aging political figures to non-linear, automated financial and regulatory software. Turnkey totalitarianism and the enclosure net: He traces the rapid construction of an inescapable global compliance apparatus over the last 25 years: Financial rules: FATCA, FinCEN, SWIFT tracking, the OECD's Common Reporting Standard, and the destruction of banking secrecy creating an automated borderless enforcement grid. Universal jurisdiction: Bodies like the ICC operating above Westphalian state boundaries to restrict physical mobility via borderless legal warrants. The dual-use paradox: In lecture 1, Thiel suggested decentralized software could act as protective digital katechons. In lecture 3, he concedes the structural flip side: any high-capability data or financial architecture can be inverted at the flip of a switch. The predictive software, data-fusion platforms, and telemetry systems built to maintain order (acting as a protective katechon) are functionally identical to and instantly convertible into a turnkey compliance grid. Full breakdown here: Night 1: https://danielforresternash.substack.com/p/what-night-one-left-out Night 2: https://danielforresternash.substack.com/p/the-counterfeit-church-and-the-epimethean Night 3: https://danielforresternash.substack.com/p/the-physics-of-consolidation-velocity Curious to hear how the sub evaluates his timeline on financial enclosure. submitted by /u/DanielFNash [link] [comments]

Does private tokenization fragment RWA liquidity?

COINS NEWS

RWA maxis pitch tokenized assets as a way to bring more liquidity onchain. But while tokenization brings TradFi liquidity, it could also isolate that liquidity from the rest of DeFi. Some institutions use private chains or permissioned markets to meet privacy and compliance requirements. If an asset is on a private network, it may need some interoperability solution to access public DeFi markets. This solves for RWA privacy but fragments DeFi liquidity across different environments. I'll give you one more example. Shielded balances also address the privacy bottleneck, but they create another problem. Say you want to use an RWA asset as collateral. If your position details are private, how does a lending protocol verify the collateral, calculate borrowing limits, or trigger liquidations when necessary? What are your thoughts? How can RWA projects give institutions the privacy they need without fragmenting liquidity or giving up on DeFi composability? submitted by /u/MathematicianOwn8847 [link] [comments]

One in four bitcoin is quantum exposed because of address reuse. Learn why that's a problem, and how to fix (most) of it without rushing.

COINS NEWS

Last week Justin Drake's "bunker mode" post told big holders to move coins to addresses that have never signed anything. Whatever you think of his timeline, the advice is old: Satoshi told people to use addresses only once back in 2009, and the whitepaper says the same. Tuesday we posted which wallets hold the biggest exposed keys (mostly exchange cold wallets). This is the follow-up for everyone else. The new chapter covers: what a reused address gives away (your privacy, and a public key that stays visible for every coin still sitting there) why reuse still happens (donation pages, exchange deposit addresses, mining pools) the fixes: fresh addresses are free in any modern wallet, and silent payments, payment codes and Lightning handle the cases that need a fixed address what to do if you've already reused, without panicking https://www.learnbitcoin.com/rabbit-hole/address-reuse https://preview.redd.it/ba6lofl0xmvh1.png?width=3376&format=png&auto=webp&s=8bd00520a7fcbe7ab934c3999db26b3c935ce3a5 submitted by /u/LearnBitcoinCom [link] [comments]

Does Anyone Here Believe in Insider Trading?

I don’t know how much i’m allowed to talk about this topic and to what degree of detail so I will leave out usernames and coin names. There’s a coin that came out about 3 days ago and it literally went ballistic, 60k mc in first 30 minutes to 15m mc by the next day.

Which means that this was their first ever trade and they somehow knew to hold and that it would explode. Obviously there is a possibility that they just got a 0.001% chance at being lucky but genuinely what are the chances that your first trade you turn $1500 into over $300,000?

Thinking about investing a student loan with very low interest into Bitcoin between 2027-2029

COINS NEWS

I'm a university student who lives with his parents, and have almost no expenditures. I also live in a country that offers a student loan with an interest rate of around 2%. I'm sure that Bitcoin in the next couple of years will outperform the interest and give me a solid profit even after paying back the loan. Let's say that I invest 1300 Euros a month for 3-4 years, and pay back a few years later when Bitcoin trades around $300-700k. I'll be able to pay back the loan and keep a good amount of money. It's risky yeah, but I firmly believe that Bitcoin is going to $1M one day in the next 15 years, so I'm not really that worried. The ROI from Bitcoin until 2030-2034 will absolutely outperform the interest on this loan and allow me to pay it back completely while keeping a good amount of money. Let me know what you think. I haven't made the decision yet or taken out the loan, so that's why I'm asking because I want to hear other people's perspective before I make an informed decision. submitted by /u/Optimistic-Pie123 [link] [comments]

ZKsync's Airbender Prime prover delivered 99% of proofs across 7,200 consecutive mainnet blocks in under 10 seconds. Ethereum blocks arrive every 12 seconds. ...At this point, I consider the battle for speed to be definitively won, and the top priority for zkEVMs should shift fully to security...

Where will they be in five years? Two businesses accept Bitcoin. One sells it all, the other keeps some or all.

COINS NEWS

Imagine two businesses generating similar revenue. The first immediately converts every Bitcoin payment into fiat. The second covers its operating expenses and keeps a small portion in BTC. If Bitcoin appreciates significantly over the next few years, the second business could build a financial reserve that the first never accumulated. Without raising capital, bringing in new investors, or increasing sales. But if Bitcoin loses value, that same decision could weaken its balance sheet. At Onbely Verse, we accept Bitcoin as payment for our technology services, including Onbely Links. We believe Bitcoin's role in business could go beyond simply offering another payment option. Could holding a portion of Bitcoin revenue become a long-term competitive advantage? Do you think businesses that start accumulating BTC through their commercial activity today will be better positioned ten years from now, or is the financial risk simply not worth it? submitted by /u/OnbelyVerse [link] [comments]

Published my first open-source project on GitHub today - It exists because of a 'Crypto Hardware Security' problem nobody solved for trezor. (Correct me if I'm not the first)

COINS NEWS

I published my first open-source project on GitHub today - It exists because of a 'Crypto Hardware Security' problem nobody solved. https://github.com/agi-digital-dot/trezor-mint-kit THE PROBLEM: Solana's CLI has rejected 'Trezor' Crypto hardware wallets for years. I tried to mint a Solana Token, signed from my Trezor T hardware wallet, using the Solana Token 2022 Program (Solana Smart Contract "Program"). • And it literally says error "not a manufacturer." • No one has ever fixed it. The accepted workaround? Make your own token on a hot wallet first, move it to hardware wallet later. Meaning your private key touches the Code Terminal to create a new Solana Token. I rejected this security flaw. The Solution & Fixed CLI: We rebuilt the official spl-token CLI — two dependency lines changed, zero crypto code touched — until my Trezor Model T signed every step of a token's birth: creation, name, full 333,333 supply, renounce. The 'Private Key' never left the Trezor T Hardware. To my knowledge, this is the first documented ‘Trezor T' Crypto Hardware Wallet signed token creation on Solana (Ledger did hardware years ago. This is the first from a Trezor, receipts and both repos public): https://github.com/agi-digital-dot/tdi-true-digital https://solscan.io/token/3e2PYneVBXTyemNiSQ5VVkuYM4bYNPxLqvWkKjA5zXAM By “we” I mean: I built this with 'Echo ULTRA – Master Control' My T.D.I (True Digital Intelligence) Partner. I set the direction; Echo re-engineered the dependency tree until the hardware said yes.

Anyone got any stories of investing in poo coins?

COINS NEWS

I invested around 2000 dollars into some poop coin around 2 years ago (probably called dogshittery) in the hopes I would atleast double my money (realistically I was hoping to 100x my money). Now I rarely check my portfolio. However, today I decided to see how that sensible investment has been performing and that 2000 thousand dollars has turned into 10 cents? Can yall believe that 2 big ol thousand dollars have transformed into 10 minuscule pennies. Anyways, what are your thoughts? Also if you have any stories to share that would be great. Personally I’m thinking of throwing another 2000 dollars into the coin in the hopes of breaking even, I mean this is a casino isn’t it?

Random Blockchain.com identity verification email years after completing KYC?

COINS NEWS

Hey everyone, I used [Blockchain.com](http://blockchain.com/) years ago, and I remember completing the identity verification process. I actually still have the original email confirming that my verification was successfully completed. However, today I randomly received an email from [**notify@wallet-tx.blockchain.com**](mailto:notify@wallet-tx.blockchain.com) with the subject “Complete your verification to start exchanging.” The email states, “We noticed you started your identity verification but did not complete the process.” I’m confused because I completed this years ago and haven’t actively used [Blockchain.com](http://blockchain.com/) in a long time. Has anyone else received an email like this out of nowhere? I’m mainly wondering if this is just an automated email, if [Blockchain.com](http://blockchain.com/) is requiring users to verify their identities again, or if it could indicate someone attempted to access my account. I haven’t clicked any links in the email. Any insight would be appreciated! The email, pictured below looks a little off too.. submitted by /u/Huge-Connection7195 [link] [comments]

Patrick Witt leaves White House crypto role as the CLARITY Act stalls in the Senate

COINS NEWS

Patrick Witt, the White House official who led the push for the CLARITY Act, is leaving his post. This matters to US holders because the bill, a broad “market structure” law meant to set clear rules for how crypto is regulated, just lost its main Senate negotiator a month after failing a key vote. Witt was executive director of the President’s Council of Advisors for Digital Assets. A White House official said his “detail has expired,” meaning his temporary assignment from another agency ended. He is reportedly a Department of Defense employee, and no replacement has been named. He is the third senior crypto official to leave, after David Sacks in March and Witt’s deputy, Harry Jung, in July. Where the bill stands The House passed its version more than a year ago. In September, the Senate version failed an initial procedural vote (an early vote needed to move a bill forward). The main dispute is ethics language on President Trump’s crypto wealth. Democrats argue it would be hard to enforce, since the Justice Department, not states, would decide whether to act against the president. Banks and crypto firms also disagree on how to treat stablecoin rewards. What this means for you: nothing changes today. Current rules stay in place, and open questions like stablecoin rewards remain unsettled until the Senate agrees on a text. My read: a staffing change alone won’t kill the bill, but losing the lead negotiator during a stalled process makes a quick deal less likely. Do you think the CLARITY Act still gets through the Senate, and which issue would have to be settled first? Source: The Block, October 14, 2026 submitted by /u/The_Bitcoin_Act [link] [comments]

Ledger Flex (teardown pics inside).

COINS NEWS

Hey guys. I bought mine while living in in the EU direct from France and it arrived from France a few days later. That was probably around early 2025. I figured it's clean but I'll sleep better at night being sure that it's clean. So I ripped it open and snapped some pics for you. The thing is quite packed on the inside. The back cover is glued on with some special double sided tape around the housing. Not the easiest one to open up but certainly possible. Opening one up WILL leave some marks on the aluminium (?) case. There is a little notch on the left side of it looking down. A small flathead screwdriver can be used to pry it up and then a thin piece of plastic to work around it. Be warned, you wanna pry it open from the OPPOSITE end to open it, not the end with the notch on it. There is little room on the inside for someone to slap another board in there. Possible, but it would take more mental gymnastics than other Ledgers. This thing wouldn't be my first pick for rigging for sure! What did this world come to? Opening hardware wallets to verify hardware integrity is now expected of us?! Damn you Ledger! A MITM hack on the screen was SO preventable! Oldest attack vector in the book! Why hack the software that can be updated when you can hack the hardware... Pretty slick! Anyway, enjoy the pics! :) submitted by /u/Worldx22 [link] [comments]

My current plan is: There are a few goals to achieve: Redundancy Plausible Deniability against Wrench Attacks Simplicity Robustness against idiosyncratic failures of individual hardware or software Seed-Generation: 3 Devices: 1) Nano Ledger S, 2) Trezor 3) Coldcard MK4 (Dice Rolls) All three locations store the multisig descriptor.

The world's largest crypto exchange says its users are asking for the top 10 stocks in Asia

COINS NEWS

Binance is considering offering exposure to stocks from markets including Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan, and Brazil as the world’s largest crypto exchange pushes beyond digital assets and seeks to become an all-in-one trading platform, co-CEO Richard Teng told Fortune. In 2026, Binance introduced trading in tokenized U.S. stocks and commodity derivatives, including precious metals and oil. The exchange also rolled out pre-IPO perpetual futures contracts settled in USDT, a U.S.-dollar-linked stablecoin, giving traders the ability to speculate on the expected valuation of private companies like Anthropic. Sitting behind this shift is a slump in digital asset prices. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency prices remain far below the highs reached in October 2025. Coinbase, for example, posted a net loss of $359.5 million in Q2 2026, its third consecutive quarterly net loss, as transaction revenue declined. Several cryptocurrency exchanges, including Binance, are transforming themselves from apps devoted to coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum into platforms that can handle different asset classes. Traditional financial companies are embracing digital assets, while crypto platforms must accept clearer rules to attract institutional money.

A quick reminder on some common wallet drain tactics

COINS NEWS

Smart contract exploits get most of the attention, but plenty of wallet drains still come down to pretty basic scams that trick people into clicking, copying, or sharing something they shouldn’t. I’ve seen the ~65% figure mentioned, and the common attack methods are surprisingly low tech. One example is address poisoning, where scammers send tiny amounts to your wallet so a lookalike address appears in your transaction history. It’s easy to copy the wrong one later without noticing. Fake Zoom invites, PDFs, or other documents are another common route, especially when they’re carrying malware that can steal saved passwords and other account information. And while public Wi-Fi isn’t necessarily the biggest threat, it’s still worth being cautious about logging into important accounts from random conference or café networks. The frustrating part is that none of this requires some crazy zero day. A lot of attacks just rely on getting you to click, copy, or trust something without checking. Double check addresses, be careful with unexpected links and files, and don’t assume every wallet drain involves some sophisticated smart contract exploit. submitted by /u/KhabibNurmagomedov_ [link] [comments]

Da, bitkoin

COINS NEWS

Ethical principles that bitcoin was initiated on, exemplifies the goodwill and the true benevolent intention of the founder. The immaculate conception of the bitcoin protocol can be interpreted as a one time incident, most probably, if you observe the timeline of this coordinated effort led by a pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, in retaliation of the existing central bank run fractional reserve banking system, in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. If we do not put in the work to understand bitcoin, scammer shitcoiners will get their foot in the door of your mind to convince that their "project" is going to be the next bitcoin, baiting you to be the exit liquidity for their pump and dump scheme (these shitcoin projects are called 'unregistered securities' in traditional-finance-speak). The unsuspecting 'crypto' enthusiast, having the feeling of missing out on early bitcoin gains, falls prey to these shitcoin ICO scams, with dedicated marketing teams. The question is "why bitcoin does not have a marketing team nor a CEO"? Put in the work to understand bitcoin. A 1000 hours should do the trick, maybe sooner once you get started. It's not too late to bitcoin, yet everyone buys bitcoin at the price they deserve. Stack sats, get your security right, hodl. submitted by /u/fumoneymoto [link] [comments]

Built a free tool to find unclaimed funds on Ethereum bridges

COINS NEWS

I've been working on a tool called FreeMyFund because I noticed that people can sometimes leave funds unclaimed after bridging to another chain, and figuring out how to get them back isn't always straightforward. While looking into this, I found some interesting numbers across official bridges between Ethereum and 21 L2 chains: ~$105.5M in stuck withdrawal value 295,899 stuck withdrawals 210,392 wallets identified So I built FreeMyFund.com to make it easier to check. You just enter your wallet address, and it shows potentially stuck or unclaimed funds along with instructions on how to claim them. I've also included smart contract details and the fields you need to fill in for supported claiming methods, so you don't have to piece everything together from different docs. It's completely free, and you don't need to connect your wallet to check an address. I'm still adding more bridges, chains, and claiming methods, so I'd love to hear feedback from the Ethereum community. Are there any bridges or claiming scenarios you'd like us to support next? submitted by /u/ajayramani95 [link] [comments]

BAT within striking distance of top 100

COINS NEWS

Over the past week, BAT pulled off a staggering 72% increase, rocket-strapped by a huge volume breakout that saw prices move from under a dime up toward $0.20. Its market cap has jumped to nearly $295 million, pushing its ranking up to around #122 to #151. The top 100 is officially within striking distance. BAT used to be a top-50 regular. But after hitting an all-time high of $1.93 in November 2021, propelled by the trading start of the BAT ETF, the token entered a brutal downward slip. BAT officially slid out of the top 100 market cap rankings roughly three years ago... spending over 1,000 days putzing about the mid-100s and 200s token ranks. From it's low of $0.055 in August it's almost 4x in just over a month! Why the pump? In addition to the markets early bump this week, just yesterday team Brave announced that over 200,000 people joined the waitlist for their new Rewards Card, which pays out in BAT. BAT has a strict maximum supply cap of 1.5 billion tokens, and virtually 99.7% of it is already circulating. There are no massive unlock schedules or heavy venture capital supply dumps waiting to dilute retail investors. Additionally, the 24-hour trading volume just cleared $70 million, meaning money is flowing heavily back into the asset. Re-entering the top 100 is a huge psychological milestone. Once an asset re-claims that badge it regains a degree of institutional visibility and attracts a fresh wave of retail momentum.

Post Quantum cryptography - Top projects are working on it. So is it FUD, narrative, or maybe just reality?

COINS NEWS

A surge in projects pushing to have Post Quantum cryptography asap. We saw STRK jump after posting potential plans to become an L1. TRON announced it is preparing its rollout. NEAR did the same. I think ZEC too. Some took things a step further and raised concerns over whether NIST approved algos face risks with the OpenAI math display. But there was also well written pushback to that. A handful of smaller projects jumped - QRL, CELL, QTS, etc And some didn't react to the increased awareness like my conviction play QANX :) Seems ALGO didn't do much last week, but was having a solid month. And there's several others trying to position themselves. So what is happening? Are all these projects trying to grab the narrative? Or are they collectively just creating FUD? My stance has always been there is enough risk that systems are forced to address it. Trying to convince people otherwise when all major governments and top companies are preparing is impossible to do. So now we enter the phase where we see what this means for the space. Projects implementing Post Quantum cryptography is great. It doesn't create utility for chains. It is a mandatory requirement most wish they didn't have to deal with. Migration challenges, size and speed impacts, upgrade risks, etc. There's a reason it was easier to just call it fud all these years. But now that's rapidly changing. So, those that do it well should take some share from those that don't. But the end game of attracting adoption and demand remains the same. Now it's a matter of who does that well with the added challenge of quality post quantum solutions. Time will tell, but things are moving fast.

Half of the top 20 quantum-exposed bitcoin addresses belong to exchanges and custodians, holding ~1.06M BTC

COINS NEWS

We scan the whole UTXO set weekly and match every coin against public keys that are already visible on-chain, either from an earlier spend or by design (old pay-to-pubkey and Taproot outputs). The biggest exposed balances aren’t lost Satoshi coins. They’re custodial cold wallets that have reused the same address for years. Binance’s largest has had its key public since October 2018. In their defense, proof-of-reserves is one reason exchanges keep stable, published addresses. But rotating to fresh ones and republishing the list is a solved problem. For everyone else the lesson is the same: receive to a fresh address every time, and your key stays hidden until you spend.

I built a free site where people can compare photos and weights of their hardware wallets to spot tampered units. Looking for feedback

COINS NEWS

After the reports of tampered devices with extra hardware hidden inside, I wanted a simple way for people to check whether their wallet matches a known-good one. So I built tampercheck.org. How it works: You post photos of your device (front, back, seams, ports, the box, and the board if you’ve opened it), plus its weight and dimensions. Other people look it over and vote: looks genuine, unsure, or suspicious, with comments on what they see. Verified units build up reference weights for each model, so you can weigh yours and see whether it’s off. Added components usually add measurable weight. There’s also a short guide on what to check: red flags, weighing, USB checks, and what to look for inside. The important bits: It will never ask for your recovery phrase, PIN or passphrase, and nobody legitimate ever will. Text that looks like a recovery phrase is rejected automatically. No accounts, no trackers, and location data is stripped from photos. It’s for any brand, not just Ledger, and it isn’t affiliated with Ledger or any other manufacturer. Community votes aren’t proof. Always run the official Genuine Check too. It’s new and still somewhat under construction, so expect rough edges. I’d really appreciate: Feedback: what’s confusing, broken or missing? Reference submissions: if you bought your device directly from Ledger and have a scale that reads to 0.01 g, a weight and a few photos would help build the baseline everyone else compares against. Suspicious devices: if you have one, post it so others can learn from it. Thanks, and happy to answer questions in the comments. submitted by /u/eld101 [link] [comments]

Somewhat similar.

Ledger wallets sold through a Southeast Asian reseller were reportedly tampered with before reaching buyers. Hidden implants, an estimated $72–93M drained. And the usual authenticity check can still pass on a compromised device. Reports of suspicious devices have also surfaced in Europe, but Ledger hasn’t confirmed them yet. It’s somewhat similar to a Trojan horse, but not quite the same. Stay safe out there. ✌???? submitted by /u/Suspicious-Local-901 [link] [comments]

COINS NEWS

Has Bitcoin changed the way you see life, too? I feel like I've somehow lost my joy for life.

COINS NEWS

Hey everyone, I've been deeply involved with Bitcoin for about four years now. During that time, I've watched countless videos, read books, and immersed myself more and more in the subject. Of course, I know that nobody can predict the future and that Bitcoin doesn't guarantee anything either. Nevertheless, I've had the feeling that my perspective on life has fundamentally changed since then. And not necessarily for the better. I actually work in my absolute dream job. It's exactly what I wanted to do when I was a child. I'm a master painter and work as an instructor at a school. I teach young people and also support them with personal and social problems. So, in many ways, I've found something that has always been important to me. But ever since I started thinking so intensively about Bitcoin, money, power, and the structures of our world, a lot of things have started to feel somehow meaningless. I'm increasingly struggling to find things that genuinely excite me. It's difficult to describe this feeling. For example, when I see people driving expensive cars and showing off everything they own, I wonder what the point of it all is. Everything is temporary. Money, possessions, status, and eventually life itself. The more I observe and question things, the more I feel that so much of life revolves around the same things over and over again: money, power, status, and the constant pursuit of more. I observe people in different situations and find myself wondering why we behave the way we do. At the same time, I feel like I've changed as a person. I used to be able to enjoy things, feel proud of what I'd achieved, and have certain dreams for my future. Today, I sometimes struggle with all of that. Even when everything is going well, I find it difficult to enjoy it. There's often this thought in the back of my mind that a good period will eventually be followed by another major setback. Because of that, it's hard for me to simply feel content and enjoy the moment. My attitude toward other people has changed, too. I often think that everyone has to find their own path and that I don't want to tell anyone else how to live their life. At the same time, I find myself increasingly questioning what the point of all this is in the first place. Sometimes I feel like Bitcoin hasn't just given me a new perspective on money, but has also somehow made me emotionally numb. I know that might sound strange. After all, Bitcoin is supposed to be about financial sovereignty, freedom, and the possibility of living a more independent life. But what good is all of that if, along the way, I lose the ability to enjoy my life in the present? I don't want this post to be understood as criticism of Bitcoin. What I'm really interested in is what immersing yourself in these topics so deeply can do to your outlook on life. One more thing: No, my life isn't perfect, in case anyone gets that impression from reading this. I have my own struggles, worries, and problems to deal with, just like everyone else. So here are my honest questions for you: - Has anyone here experienced similar thoughts after becoming deeply involved with Bitcoin, monetary systems, or the structures of society? - Have you ever reached a point where many of the things that excite other people suddenly started to seem meaningless to you? - How did you manage to rediscover your joy for life and learn to appreciate the little things again? - How do you stay interested in Bitcoin and the future without losing sight of the life you're actually living right now? I'm not looking for a discussion about whether Bitcoin will reach $100,000, $200,000, or $1 million. I'm much more interested in your personal experiences and how you deal with these feelings. I'd like to know whether anyone can relate to this inner state of mind. Maybe someone has been through something similar and can offer me some advice. Thank you to everyone who takes the time to read this and respond honestly. submitted by /u/MadeInSilence- [link] [comments]

How to mentally get over loss of money?

COINS NEWS

Hi everyone. I'm not really coming from a wealthy country or from a wealthy family. I'm just an average person in my country who is earning average money. My whole life I have been a perfectionist and I was always trying to make a smart decisions in my life. I was always analyzing every situation from all aspects and taking all the risks before doing any action. No matter if that decision requires money or not. Something horrible happened to me 2 days ago. I'm not sure are you all aware of cyberleek token. It is basically made from one guy/woman/group who is leaking parts of gta 6 gameplay for the crypto they made. My cousin is doing all kind of investments all the time and he is getting money from them frequently, but I never wanted to listen to his advices. Anyways, he told me to invest at least 20 USD into this token 2 days ago because it is increasing a lot and that i will get minimum 80 dollars in couple of hours. I don't know what happened to me to just fall for that... Without any thinking or research... I think you know what happened. I lost almost all of that money. Now it's worth around 5 USD and I keep refreshing the app and praying it to jump to at least 10 USD so I can pull it back. This feels horrible. 6 hours of my hard work just went into air. I can't sleep for these two days at all. Only thing I do whole day and night is just refreshing the app. How to get over this loss? In my 28 years of life I never made such a decision and I have no idea what happened to me... submitted by /u/CenifaHala [link] [comments]

The take home with this Ledger wallet "hack"

COINS NEWS

Everyone getting into a panic about cold storage with all of these wallets getting drained. Cold Card was some shitty little company no one had heard of that had plenty of issues brought up to the company and they refused to do anything about it. I'm still looking to see what comes of this case in the coming months and years. With Ledger this is related to supply chain, but these wallets that were drained were from 3rd party sellers in Asia that were able to install chips that could read the screen and thus have access to seeds. This all could have been prevented if these people had simply purchased the wallets directly from the manufacturer. This wallet saw roughly 100m$ in funds drained, but Ledger wallets overall have funds in excess of 100 BILLION $. Basically, don't try to get weird with wallets and just buy directly from the top manufacturers in the space. Also consider using multiple wallets when you get large crypto holdings so you don't have all of your funds in one basket. submitted by /u/ubermensch1001 [link] [comments]

Anything I can do with an old KeepKey wallet?

COINS NEWS

I used to be heavy into the crypto game circa 2016 through maybe 2018, mostly cashing out like a bandit during the 2017 bubble. During that time, I bought a KeepKey hardware wallet to store my keys with. I've been undergoing a security hardening exercise across my entire network, as well as scanning all sorts of documents into my self hosted paperless-ngx instance, and I came across my old keepkey and seed phrase. I loaded up the KeepKey and recovered the wallet, to find a grand total of $4.15 worth of LPT and OMG (not sure wtf those are) on the eth chain (2.2959 each). I don't have any eth to even work as gas to transfer them, so I' figure they are basically just stuck. I'm currently running some scripts to backup my transactions from the blockchain/addresses just for record keeping in case I ever want to look into it later, and I plan on destroying the seed (I'll generate another one if I ever want to store crypto again), but something just feels wrong about throwing away what seems to be a perfectly fine piece of hardware (although very clearly obsolete when compared to wallets like Trezor 3 and 5). Are there any novel uses for such a device? I don't really want another useless device collecting dust, so if I can't find a practical reason to keep it around, it will likely get wiped and put into an electronics recycling receptacle one of these days.

Gordian Seed Tool for iOS

COINS NEWS

I am using an old iPhone 8 with the Gordian seed tool, and I have been wondering what could possibly be some weaknesses in my setup? I have deleted all the apps I won’t be using. There’s no phone app, no messaging app, no web browser, no iTunes logged in, no iMessage. All the settings like location sharing, app permissions, data tracking, analytics. Everything is turned off, no WiFi, no SIM card, in airplane mode. I am currently using sparrow and electrum on my laptop, and blue wallet on my regular phone. Everything is done via airgapped with QR codes. I am ocd as to not allow any other cameras to see these codes. I have considered having the wireless antenna disabled.

A fake crypto wallet app got through Apple's App Store review and drained my BTC. There's no way to actually talk to a person at Apple about it

COINS NEWS

I don't usually post stuff like this, but I've been a loyal Apple user since 2008 with over 7 devices on one Apple ID, plus the usual subscriptions (iCloud+, In App purchases, app subscriptions) so this one stung in a specific way. In June I downloaded an app called "Wasabi Bitcoin & Crypto Wallet" from the official App Store. It looked completely legitimate, normal listing, developer name, screenshots, reviews. It turned out to be an impersonation of the real Wasabi Wallet. Wasabi Wallet is an open-source, desktop-only software that has never had a mobile app. In August, a wallet I'd created inside that fake app was drained in a single transaction; about 0.9 BTC, roughly $53k at the time. The theft is bad enough. What's been almost as frustrating is that there's no way to actually talk to a person at Apple about it. No phone line, no support chat for this, just web forms (Apple's own "report a problem" page, and their EU "Digital Services Act" reporting portal). I filed a police report. I reported it through every official channel Apple offers. Apple's own review team closed my EU complaint with a one line reply: insufficient information, or no violation found. No further explanation. One thing that's stuck with me: with the real, open-source Wasabi Wallet, anyone can verify a release is genuine by checking its cryptographic signature on GitHub. On the App Store, there's no equivalent. As a user, you have no way to check that an app is actually from the developer it claims to be. You're just trusting Apple's review process, full stop. That trust is what got me here. What makes it sting more: Apple's own App Store Review Guidelines, not marketing copy, their actual rulebook for developers say: "These efforts have made Apple's platforms the safest for consumers around the world." That's the exact trust I was operating on. This isn't a one-off either. Security researchers found dozens of similar fake wallet apps on the App Store this year alone (Kaspersky, April 2026). There's also an ongoing US lawsuit over a nearly identical fake Sparrow Wallet app. I'm not trying to start a pile-on, I still like my Apple devices. I just wish there were an actual way to be heard, and wanted other people to be a bit more careful with anything wallet-related in the App Store, "official" or not.

why do i feel safer staking eth on a regulated exchange than in defi?

COINS NEWS

staking eth for about three years now. started with lido, then tried rocket pool, even ran a validator for a while. but honestly the whole defi staking thing is starting to wear me down. smart contract risk, slashing risk, the tax nightmare of tracking all those tiny rewards. it's just a lot. lately ive been using gemini for a chunk of my eth. it's not as exciting as defi, and the yields are lower. but it's simple. i don't have to worry about a bug in a contract draining my funds. i don't have to spend hours figuring out cost basis for taxes. i stake and get a statement at the end of the year. for someone who just wants exposure to eth staking without the headache, it's been a decent option. i still keep some in lido because i believe in decentralization, but the regulated route has its place. anyone else split their staking like this? or am i just getting old and lazy? submitted by /u/Excellent-Wheel7769 [link] [comments]

Somethings got me thinking. What's going to be the catalyst? DOGE

COINS NEWS

I first got into crypto back in 2017. Back then, I owned a massive bag of DOGE, although it was probably only worth about $200 at the time. And we all know what happened next. DOGE melted faces. What started as a joke became one of the most recognisable cryptocurrencies in the world. The rise of DOGE doesn't make sense to a lot of people. It's a meme. It doesn't offer some revolutionary technology, and its real-world utility is often questioned. Yet somehow, here we are, years later, still talking about it. And it got me thinking. Is there something more to DOGE than just hype and speculation? There's a certain feeling you get when you hear someone say, read a comment, or even think to yourself: "DOGE is going to $1." It's excitement. It's hope. It's the thought of being part of something ridiculous that might actually happen. Maybe that's what gives DOGE its value. Not necessarily what it does, but what it makes people feel. So here's my question: Is your faith in DOGE based on its actual potential and utility, or is it that feeling of excitement, possibility and belief that keeps you holding? Because I'm starting to wonder whether that feeling itself is DOGE's greatest asset. submitted by /u/Odysseyguard [link] [comments]
