This is an absolute masterclass from MIT on how to speak

Back in the day when British luxury car brands hired marketing agencies that clearly understood the target audience: Marketing Mission : Used Aston Martins. “You know you’re not the first, but do you really care?”

Framebook + nix feels like 25yrs ago.

The Coinkite MK5 is HERE 👀 I got to take a first look at the reincarnation of a legend. As you can imagine, I was SO excited to check this out and one thing is clear: Bitcoin cold storage just seriously leveled up. 🔐⚡ Take a first look inside👇 youtu.be/dO9SvaZ4wz0 Retweets and Likes are appreciated! 🧡

@noD7R @vazertuche @COLDCARDwallet @Coinkite Make more vids!

Got the new @COLDCARDwallet and I absolutely love it. Build quality is excellent, keyboard is absolutely fantastic, and the screen is so much easier to read. @Coinkite well done!

Mk5 is so good.

Folks, we told you this was coming, and today the mask is fully off. A couple weeks back we reported, based on solid sources, that Coinbase was quietly lobbying to kill a real de minimis tax exemption for Bitcoin while pushing one that applied only to stablecoins like USDC. We laid out the clear incentives in our deep dive. Coinbase made 1.35 billion dollars in stablecoin revenue last year, up 48 percent year over year, almost entirely from yield on the Treasuries backing USDC. A proper Bitcoin de minimis would let people spend sats on everyday purchases without triggering taxable events on every transaction. That directly competes with their centralized yield machine. We called it what it was. Policy that protects Coinbase’s float rather than advancing neutral Bitcoin adoption. Brian Armstrong pushed back hard. He called our reporting totally false and misinformation while insisting he was personally lobbying for Bitcoin de minimis. Some accused us of lying or spreading rumors. We stood firm. We offered to have Brian on the TFTC podcast to clear the air. We waited. Now the latest draft from Reps. Horsford and Max Miller on the updated PARITY Act framework has dropped. It confirms exactly what we warned about. It gives a de minimis exemption to stablecoins but leaves Bitcoin out entirely. It keeps the punishing double taxation on Bitcoin mining fully intact while carving out relief for passive validation, basically staking. This is not an oversight or sloppy drafting. It abandons any pretense of technology neutrality and deliberately picks winners. Dollar-pegged stables and staking get the breaks, while actual Bitcoin usage as money and Proof-of-Work mining get kneecapped. Without de minimis for Bitcoin, every small Lightning payment or sat transaction still forces cost-basis tracking and IRS headaches. Paying your plumber in sats or grabbing lunch with Bitcoin remains a taxable event. Stablecoins, being pegged and low-volatility, get an exemption they barely need. The real beneficiary is protecting that massive USDC reserve float and the yield it generates. Meanwhile, American Bitcoin miners, already operating in one of the toughest, most capital- and energy-intensive industries, face continued double taxation while staking gets a pass. That is not neutral policy. It is industrial policy against domestic Bitcoin mining at a time when we should be leaning into energy abundance and securing the hardest monetary network. The Bitcoin Policy Institute is releasing a full statement soon, and we fully back the call for strong community pushback. Every Bitcoiner needs to contact their reps and make it politically radioactive to sideline Bitcoin while handing carve-outs to stables and staking. This language slows real adoption, entrenches custodians, and weakens American Bitcoin infrastructure. We weren’t lying. Our sources weren’t lying. The draft proves the reporting was on target. Those who rushed to call it misinformation owe the community some honest reflection. Brian, if you’re still open to that conversation, the invitation stands. Come on the podcast. No spin, just walk us through how this draft lines up with your stated support for Bitcoin de minimis. The mic is warm. This fight isn’t over. Bitcoin doesn’t need permission, but bad policy can delay sovereign adoption and punish the miners securing the network. We’re here to protect the protocol and the right of individuals to use sound money without turning every transaction into a compliance nightmare. Stay sovereign. Stack sats. Use Bitcoin as money anyway. Call your reps today.

@2FreeTheMoney you want the inverse unfortunetly.

@nvk Claude just reviews Codex’s PRs. It works just fine.

People will switch to Codex.

We need better and faster VMs to run the bots locally.

@ArthurCSalzer Canadians love porverty and misery, its a lifestyle choice not pre-dermination. 🤣🫠

Cuba here we come.....

@LynAldenContact i can, hair die.

Still can’t believe they did this.

Ai is the perfect tool for ppl who think outloud.

NGL, the new MK5 looks and feels great. @nvk

@jamie_donald @COLDCARDwallet @covewallet its a good point, but how would you reorg. wanna reorg here github.com/Coldcard/firmw…

@nvk @COLDCARDwallet @covewallet Advanced things in advanced. Tools in tools. Exporting xpub to set up a wallet under advanced/tools settings might throw some newbs off or seem scary perhaps? Dunno 🤷🏼

COLDCARD + @covewallet makes self-custody extremely simple. Quick setup. Clear work flow. No guesswork. This walkthrough shows how it works. We're giving away a COLDCARD Q to help some upgrade their self-custody. To Enter: - Like - Repost - Comment why self-custody matters 👇

@jamie_donald @COLDCARDwallet @covewallet describe

@COLDCARDwallet @nvk @covewallet It’s time….. it’s time to make advanced / tools into 2 separate menu listings.

@FR33DOM_F1GHT3R if you can use sparrow, this is not for you :)

@nvk Think I'll stick with Coldcard and Sparrow on desktop!

Stupid simple Bitcoin setup, and you are set for the apocalypse.

@DJSnM so cool

Neat little telescope design using a single block of glass with 4 different optical surfaces to focus the image.
