📰 **What Happened This Week In The Bitcoin World**
✍️ by NM team

This is what happened this week in the Bitcoin world. In this edition, you'll find the hidden Treasury move that triggered a 23% surge, the White House crypto summit that fizzled (with the CLARITY Act's odds crashing from 82% to 21%), and the internal developer war that just got a Bitcoin Core legend fired. But here's the kicker: while the market celebrates a $3.5 billion short squeeze, the real question is whether this rally has legs—or if the September 15 Senate vote is about to pull the rug.

Bitcoin Just Did Something It Hasn't Done Since February — And Nobody Is Talking About the Real Reason Why

The asset that spent months trapped in a boring range just ripped 30% in four days. But here’s what your favorite "influencers" aren’t telling you about this move — and why the real story has nothing to do with short squeezes.
Here’s the thing about Bitcoin rallies that happen this fast: they’re designed to make you feel stupid for not being in. The FOMO is brutal. The analysis paralysis is real. You’re frozen, watching the screen, wondering if you’re about to miss the boat — or buy the top. Let's unroll it...

Nostr’s Identity Crisis: When Decentralization Becomes a Liability

Most people think Nostr’s biggest problem is its complexity. It’s not. The real threat isn’t technical—it’s the absence of anyone actually steering the ship. With over 100 clients fragmenting the user base and zero governance to align them, Nostr is quietly becoming quite hard to use and attract new users. Little to no friction is ideal, we are failing at it. Read on and find out my thoughts about it and what can be done.

The $130 Million Question: Can We Trust Hardware Wallets?

You bought a hardware wallet because you trusted it. You did everything right—air-gapped, offline, "unhackable." Then one morning, your life savings vanished without a single device being touched. That's not a hypothetical. That's what happened to over 7,300 Bitcoiners in the past ten days. Here's what nobody is telling you: the industry's biggest names are at war over whether multisig is your salvation or a trap—and the answer could determine whether you keep your Bitcoin or lose it all. I've tracked the data, the drama, and the devastating losses. Keep reading, because what I'm about to show you will change how you think about every single hardware wallet you own...

Supply chain is the real attack surface. Open-source firmware + reproducible builds = verifiable trust. 'Trust us' is not a security model. Verify the stack.
