I’m sorry but everything seems to be getting compromised and hacked rn. I’m sure I’m not the only skeptical one right now but I figure I ask for some input. Thanks

Edit: I do cold storage but rethinking everything since these hacks continue

I have been looking at the possible failure modes of lightning while a possible fork (however short) could happen. I don't want the hassle of watching 2 separate chains while this plays out. Any precautions that you are taking or am I just being paranoid?

Hey im just wondering if anybody know what is the cheapest way to deposit Euro to an Exchange now. Because bybit and binance offer is still expensive in my opinion the cheapest they got is 1% fee and if you deposit 10k Eur it would be 100 eur its just too much. Anybody got an idea? I would like it to be an instant transfer and not take 1-3 business days if possible

Anyone use Fidelity as a custodian. I reached out to them and they said they provide insurance for “unauthorized” transactions which would have come in handy with the Coldcard situation

I’m assuming this is not the case but I had this idea pop into my head and I don’t know what to believe anymore so I figured I’d share.

If any of these cold card hackers used LLMs and stupidly used an API key instead of a local / offline model to write the code to sweep the coldcard wallets, couldn’t the inference companies be subpoenaed to identify any users who prompted suspicious things around the time of this attack?

Most likely the code was written for a long time prior to the attack by the main attacker but any follow up attacker would’ve likely used LLMs.

Looking for a new hardware wallet. I like that it’s multi Sig, 2 of 3. Phone, Device, Bitblock. My only concern is that I like having a seed phrase. If something happens, unlikely 2/3 keys fail at the same time, I’d like to be able to quickly transfer funds into a different wallet.

I’m an average HODLer. Not super technical or into code. What’s everyone think?

Having been involved in btc in 2011 to 2014 and coming back to it last year I really hated the whole KYC thing when I learnt about it. It means we lose anonymity and must pay tax. Apparently in exchange we get security? Except we don't? If your coins are jacked KYC does Jack shit to get them back. What is the benefit? Even if there is some minor ones I dont see it outweighing the costs.
