In regard the stolen Bitcoin, Tangem advice: “Coldcard, what is going on? An attacker swept roughly 594 BTC, about $38 million, out of around 500 separate Coldcard wallets between 01:31 and 01:56 UTC. Every single one held more than 0.15 BTC. The attackers guessed the private keys, and they succeeded because the wallets were never random to begin with. Per Block's engineering team, a build setting told the device to skip its hardware randomness generator, and the safety check only tested whether the setting existed, not whether it was switched on. So key generation quietly dropped to a software fallback seeded from the chip's serial number and clock registers. None of that is secret. The serial number is factory metadata, and the clock state is something an attacker can measure on their own device. If you generated a Coldcard seed on an affected build, move your funds now.”

Grok on cryptocurrency adoption in the US and globally: Crypto adoption has grown significantly: - U.S. ownership: Around 25-30% of American adults own cryptocurrency (roughly 70+ million people), up from lower teens earlier in the decade but stabilized after earlier booms. It’s mainstream among younger and higher-income groups, with strong institutional inflows (e.g., Bitcoin ETFs). - Global adoption: Strong in places like India, Nigeria, Indonesia, Vietnam, and parts of Asia/Latin America for remittances, hedging inflation, and DeFi. The U.S. ranks high in overall activity and institutional use. - Growth drivers: Speculation, innovation (tokenization, stablecoins), and hedging fiat risks. [Add fast low cost transactions BCH.]

New Zealand 🇳🇿 centric post. Dr Muriel Newman elucidates the emergence of race-based laws in New Zealand 🇳🇿 and their potential to stifle productivity and fuel corruption. This is a critical issue ahead of the 7 November 2026 election. Reversing this trend is essential to halt the institutionalisation of racial preferences in law and restore equal opportunity as the standard — along with strong protection of universal human rights. Including racial preferences in law wastes valuable time and administrative effort, distracts from real economic priorities, and undermines success based on merit.
