Omg Brian, your heart must have sank when you realised your seed words were at risk. Thank god you secured your funds. 🙏

Coldcard have alot to answer for!

Bitcoin's greatest strength is the ability of everyday users being able to take self custody. We all need to look at this disaster as a learning experience, so that we become stronger going forward.

I think we should all have a think about our self custody set up. Multisig setup with different hardware devices will mitigate against a potential seed failure with one hardware provider. If multiple hardware failures occur simultaneously across different hardware devices, then setting a 13th/25th word passphrase for each seed phrase on each hardware device seems essential now. And creating your own passphrase using a dice with maximum randomness is something we can all do. Its something we should all think about. It is the only way to know the job has been done properly.

Dont trust, verify!

Giving up on self custody is not the answer. Then we are just trusting a third party, and we have no idea whether the third party will not make a mistake. Self sovereignty is key. And bitcoin self custody provides the ultimate financial freedom.

I am so sad to hear all the stories from people that have lost their life saving. Dont give up, keep strong, and remember, bitcoin is still tiny at the moment. You have time to rebuild. Bitcoin is still on the road to 100x and beyond. So you have time to restack and still be able to live the life you have always imagined.

My heart goes out to you all. 🧡

Nice. Thank god you and friend in the clear. 🙏

I was thinking the exact same thing. The timing is too much of a coincidence. Coldcard hack 1 week before bip110. 👀

Ive never visited Madeira, sounds nice. Up and coming plavlce for bitcoin maybe. Definitely on my list of plsces to visit. Thanks for the video Joe. 👍

I been meaning to get round it too, coldcard seemed like the ultimate self custody hardware device. How could they let this happen. 😳

Hardware companies need to prove to us their wallets are as good as they say.

Confidence has been truly broken!

We are all thinking, is our wallet next. 🤦

Its rough Brian, this news is v scary. omg, you actually generated your seed on cold card. So glad you sorted it out and have secured your bitcoin. I thought about buying one. It was on my list of things to do. But never got round to it.

The question everyone is asking, what other hardware wallets outside of coldcard brand have this flaw. There is bound be atleast one.

The other hardware brands need to prove that the seed was generated properly with the correct randomness. So this hack needs to be attempted on other hardware wallets. I am waiting for some sort of verification to restore some confidence.

Hopefully someone can re-read the open source code of these other hardware wallets outside of coldcard and confirm the seeds have been generated correctly.

Very disappointed a company like coldcard could allow this to happen. 😳

Good show Brian! Whales are accumulating and independent bitcoiners are selling. 🤦
Its a good chart that says it all. I know which side I am sticking on.
Yeah i am a bip110 supporter. Removing the filter is risky and has more potential issues than benefits. We have had the filter for over 11 years and its purpose was to protect the network. Do we not need this ptotection anymore? Whats changed?

I hope bip110 some how pull it off. 🙏

Thanks Joe, i saw last week El Salvadore locks up women for having miscarriages. That concerned me.
Then i see this video. I still want to visit El salvadore, but I dont plan on saying anything too controversial while i am there.
Thanks for being honest, not many bitcoiners would be willing to go against the tide. ✊

Not sure why but my nostr messages did not go through. Lets try again.

Its definitely a good sign to see these btc treasury companies going bust. Its a really good sign that we are bottoming 🤞

Another good show Brian. Thanks. 👍

Its sad to see people like Tommy Robinson put his name to the shitcoin scene. I respect what he is trying to do, but it really shows how little work he has put into understanding bitcoin, and/or bad advice he has been given. Either way not a good look.

I hope he realises soon, Bitcoin is the future, that could really fundamentally change things long term.

I agree, its a very big deal that the president of the United States has given so much emphasis to bitcoin (and crypto).

It feels like we are right at the bottom. So many metrics are flashing red, perfect zone for buying. I hope we get one last push down. But I got admit, this might be it. And its all up from here. 🤞

Another good show Brian. Thanks. 👍

Graphene is good, but alot of mainstream apps dont work, like banking apps etc. Hopefully over time more apps are introduced.
Google / apple unfortunately have set it up to make you cave eventually.
Give it a try, you can buy a second hand pixel phone for real cheap. Dont go older than pixel 7 otherwise pixel security updates will stop updating, whixh isnt good for security.
