URGENT: Update your Coldcard or Create a New Seed Phrase / Private Key ASAP if you’ve created one on a Coldcard before today.

A post I read that explains the situation beautifully:

The Coldcard bug explained in simple terms:

Normally, a hardware wallet generates your 12 word seed phrase using true randomness.

Think of it like a lottery with roughly 340 undecillion possible tickets (that’s a 340 followed by 36 zeros). Every ticket has an equal chance of being picked, making the odds of guessing your seed essentially zero.

The bug didn’t shorten the 2,048-word BIP-39 word list. It changed how the wallet picked the words.

Instead of choosing from the entire lottery, the wallet kept picking from the same tiny corner because the “random” numbers were partially predictable from things like the device’s ID and timing.

Imagine that instead of 340 undecillion possible combinations, your wallet accidentally chose from only a few billion. That’s still a huge number, but astronomically smaller than what Bitcoin’s security is designed to provide.

Your seed phrase still looked completely normal. The words came from the same 2,048-word list. Nothing looked suspicious.

But for an attacker, the search space became millions of trillions of trillions of times smaller.

I miss the days when Bitcoin would drop from 60k to 30k in 60 minutes.

Hahaahhahahah Michael Saylor sold some bitcoin. He said he never would.

How do you feel #asknostr

2 Years and 1 Month of Dollar Cost Averaging in Bitcoin. We're currently in an Unrealized Loss. However, I think by 2032, we will ALWAYS be in a profit. I'm expecting a couple of hundred percent returns. Let's see how it pans out.

Will be uploading the #MonthlyDCA #Bitcoin video soon.

When do you think Bitcoin will become legal tender in the #UK? I think around 2040.

We got time to accumulate. Don’t stop. I know I won’t be stopping.

Just dropped: The Sovereign Self-Custody Guide !!!

Your Bitcoin. Your keys. Your sovereignty.

After years of education in information security, computer forensics, of course involved with Bitcoin since 2017, and working in the national payment infrastructure, I’ve put together a no-fluff, highly tactical 20-page manual for anyone serious about getting their Bitcoin off exchanges and into true self-custody.

What’s inside:
• Proper threat modeling for everyday threats
• Hardware architecture (secure elements vs air-gapped)
• Generating & protecting entropy + advanced BIP-39 passphrases
• Marine-grade steel backups + geographic separation
• Multi-generational inheritance planning without exposing keys

All written from a real forensic and adversarial perspective - not another fluffy intro.

Stop leaving your sats exposed to counterparty risk.

Take control. Stay sovereign.

Together #LETSBREAKFREE from the shackles of modern slavery.

I’m a bitcoiner. I believe in its technology and the freedom it brings with it. Follow me so I know who is a bitcoiner.

I want to say I’m looking forward to 20 years in the future as Bitcoin will just keep appreciating. But in truth I’m not. Time is the most scarcest asset. Time isn’t stopping for anyone. I’ve been reflecting a lot recently about what is it that will make me happy. I’ve always known it’s never been money that brings me happiness. It’s health and having purpose. Having that freedom of living without any toxic competition or people with bad vibes around you always trying to be above you. Health, and purpose brings inner peace. Having positive company and the right people around you with winner mindsets brings happiness. That’s all I want really. The rest just naturally falls into place. It’s just difficult ignoring the natural instincts of human nature and focusing all the time. Don’t get me wrong, I am good at focusing. I’m actually locked in 98% of the time. No really. It’s just sometimes that you get derailed and need reminders to put you back on track.

Take time and reflect on life. Tell me if I’m wrong.
