Oops, that was two weeks ago and I forgot to hit the post button. 😅
But it’s such a lovely memory … I’ll post it anyway.

BitcoinWalk Munich last Saturday — every Sat 🚶🏻♀️🐕☀️
33°C, bright sunshine and a beautiful route along the Isar.
My personal highlight? A tiny navigation mistake with a big upside. 😄
After taking a wrong turn on our way to the beer garden, another BitcoinWalker and I decided not to walk back — we simply jumped into a side arm of the Isar and let the current carry us towards our destination. 🌊
But of course, there was plenty to talk about too:
🔐 The Coldcard incident
A major wake-up call for the Bitcoin community: even with self-custody and a hardware wallet, there is no such thing as absolute security. A firmware bug from 2021 resulted in weak randomness for affected devices, allowing attackers to derive vulnerable seeds and steal more than 1,800 BTC – without ever having physical access to the devices.
⚡️ Blackouts & preparing for crises
How realistic is the risk of a nationwide blackout? Should we stock up on supplies? And what does being prepared really mean?
Maybe resilience is about much more than food and emergency supplies: physical fitness, mental strength, strong relationships and the ability to take responsibility for ourselves.
Bitcoin is so much more than money or an investment.
Ethics.
Self-sovereignty.
Freedom.
That’s what we explore on the BitcoinWalks – every Saturday, together.
