Don't forget spam

I am non-technical but have spent countless hours doing the deep dive into Bitcoin. The ideology and cultural aspect is usually where the majority of my time is spent as that is what interests me the most but by no means have I neglected the technical side of the coin.

Key generation is something Ive spent very little time on. Almost like it was taken for granted. It wont be any longer.

My heart goes out to all those affected.

Cold card users were likely some of the most convicted users in the community.

Something this bear market has apparently revealed was the strength of the network from the individuals. So much noise from Treasury companies, financial products, clarity blah blah, politicians. Seems very clear that our current price support levels are what they are because of the plebs that believe in the better world that Bitcoin can offer. For this attack, at this point in time, to target this specific group is probably one of the worst things that could have happened.

Everyone has failed here. Everyone feels this loss. It seems such an obvious vulnerability in hindsight.

Its our responsibility to fix. Bitcoin is working as intended. Its stewards were not.

Correct me if I am wrong...

FOSS is the first category that will bear exposure to these new vulnerabilities but it is not accurate to paint a picture that we are moving into an era where FOSS is inferior to closed source from a security perspective.

Infact, as you state, although it will experience the brunt of these AI driven attacks it will also be the first to harden to them.

AI will be used by good actors as well. And, with the continuity and momentum that open source allows it would seem the odds are in our favor.

There are laws against insider trading as well lol

Mark has lost the narrative

Seems like every summer now...

Can someone explain why this is important?

Property rights in bitcoin are determined by private key ownership.

Good question... Where is the vulnerable attack surface?
