Es gibt nur ein asset, das dir uneingeschränkt gehören kann.
Gut, dass der gemeine Pleb heutzutage Möglichkeiten hat.
Erst lockt der Leviathan mit dem Versprechen von Sicherheit, dann greift er eiskalt nach dem, was du dir mühsam aufgebaut hast, und raubt dich aus.
Wer spart, vorsorgt und sein Vermögen vor Inflation schützen will, wird zur Kasse gebeten.
Was eine viel größere Frage aufwirft: Gehört dir dein Eigentum wirklich – oder gehört es dir nur so lange, wie die gierige Polit- und Bürokratenkaste es duldet?
Wenn sich die Spielregeln jederzeit ändern lassen, ist nichts mehr sicher. Nicht dein Erspartes, deine Altersvorsorge und nicht das, was du deinen Kindern hinterlassen willst.

Buy Bitcoin with cash. No bank account and no name attached.
Pretty huge if you ask me.
How to buy Bitcoin in cash, but without getting rekt by ATM fees 😎
By using any Swiss train ticket machine to pay a @mtpelerin QR-bill with cash, exchange fees are from 0% to 1.3% max 💸

Wow 👀
Update: Boltz will stay disabled until further notice.
Our API remains available to process refunds cooperatively. In any case, unilateral refunds will work, as they do not depend on our infrastructure.
Our support team stays reachable.
To be clear: this is not a response to a single incident. Over the past months we have seen a steady rise in automated, AI-assisted probing of our infrastructure, and we have dealt with several exploits. Each was contained, but the pattern is clear: attackers now iterate faster than a team our size can find and patch. In the past few days alone we saw a drastic acceleration, and we do not believe this asymmetry will reverse. After reviewing the results of our own recent security scans, we cannot responsibly re-enable Boltz swaps, especially as we are being actively targeted by what appear to be multiple resourceful groups while we race to deploy fixes.
What we are seeing is a major paradigm shift for Bitcoin services operating on an open source stack, and it needs careful analysis. Do not expect swap services to resume shortly.
To be explicit: no user funds were ever at risk. Boltz is non-custodial by design. And as a fully bootstrapped company, the losses were ours alone.
We don't know yet how things will continue from here, but we'll keep you posted as soon as we have had the time to catch our breath and make a decision 🙏

Why 24 words are not more secure than 12.
Reminder: A properly generated 12-word BIP39 seed contains 128 bits of entropy, which is sufficient to protect Bitcoin funds.
secp256k1 uses 256-bit private keys but provides approximately 128 bits of classical security, because the best-known generic discrete-log attacks require roughly 2^128 work.
A 24-word seed increases the mnemonic search space to 256 bits, but it does not increase the approximately 128-bit classical security of the secp256k1 keys derived from it.
Assuming a securely generated seed, that additional entropy provides little practical protection against brute-force attacks.

I don’t know but the latest Coldcard drama sounds very much like a story from the Bitcoin price bottom.

@FoundationHQ @BitBoxSwiss @BlockstreamJade 2-3 multisig wallet with @SparrowWallet .
Self-custody done right and save.
Get your proof of work done.

Quantum computing will eventually crack old Bitcoin addresses that didn’t migrate to a quantum proof format.
But that will require massive compute power once again.
So it’s just another form of POW, I would argue. Nothing wrong with that, imo. 🤷

bitcoin:native just got rejected on the first important level of 63k but sits now on support on the 200WEMA.
Reclaiming the 63k level, and ideally retesting it, would be a very bullish signal.

Last major CERN LHC shutdown (LS2) started Dec 2018 when BTC bottomed ~$3.2k in the bear market. During the ~3.5-year shutdown it later pumped to $69k ATH in 2021.
No real connection — crypto moves on cycles, macro & adoption. The demon portal meme is peak internet though. Coincidence, not causation. 🚀
