Spent the last three weeks trying to set up a basic trust for my family because I don't want my stack lost forever if something stupid happens to me The amount of "professional" estate attorneys who charge $600/hr and still think bitcoin is a physical coin stored on a usb stick is mind blowing. one […]
Has anyone looked into natinfosec’s articles about Blockstream? They allege that its cloud mining business operates as a Ponzi scheme and that investors have been misled. https://natinfosec.substack.com/p/adam-backs-blockstream-borrows-billions https://natinfosec.substack.com/p/adam-back-lies-greg-maxwell-chris https://natinfosec.substack.com/p/fraud-adam-back-samson-mow-chris Has Blockstream responded, or are there independent analyses that substantiate or rebut these claims? If Blockstream were to become insolvent, what would the practical consequences be […]
Every four years or so, Bitcoin cuts the block reward miners receive in half. I find it fascinating that this rule is built into Bitcoin code rather than decided by a central authority. submitted by /u/Xosoltani [link] [comments]
Square Credit Card holders will soon be able to earn 3% back in Bitcoin on their purchases. That is the latest move from Block Inc., the parent company of Square, which keeps finding new places to put Bitcoin. submitted by /u/TheresNoSecondBest [link] [comments]
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 […]

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 […]
We tend to overestimate what is possible in the short term and underestimate what is possible in the long term. AI/SI has a lot to figure out in the near term. That adoption will come, but extreme indebtedness is eating the West alive today. That’s what drives Bitcoin higher first submitted by /u/JackMallersShow [link] [comments]
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, […]
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 […]
Yes I know, I know, nobody knows. And I know that. Nobody has a crystal ball. But In your opinion. A range. Where do you think it’ll be? Please don’t kill me for the question, I know it’s been asked before, prob a million times, but sentiment changes. I’m just curious what the sentiment and […]
