Coffeezilla just debated Jeff Walton for an hour about bitcoin and Michael Saylor’s digital credit business. If you don’t know him, @Coffeebreak_YT has become the most popular YouTuber focused on exposing crypto scams and is skeptical of the strategy.

Bitcoin has educated more people on money and personal finance than any university.

@godfred_xcuz @Treasury_BTC @JohanMBergman @TychoOnnasch on x itself, I guess in this post.

@Treasury_BTC @JohanMBergman @TychoOnnasch Link to join?

Today on 21ON: @JohanMBergman Together with @TychoOnnasch, we debate Bitcoin-backed credit, amplified equity, and what a building a Bitcoin-native balance sheet looks like from a European seat. Tune in 17:21 CEST | Live on X

De burger beloven dat instroom omlaag moet, maar vervolgens tegen maatregelen stemmen die dat mogelijk maken. Het kabinet voert vervolgens de wet tweestatussenstelsel die nareis beperkt nog niet in. Elke week 400 mensen erbij. En zo struikelt het kabinet van zeperd naar zeperd.

You aren’t ready. You think you are, but you’re not.

@MasonFoard @TNorth Yes, come on the Digital Credit Frontier!

I want to have a debate where I get genuinely emotional about the credit risk of the Ford 2069 bonds paying 6%. Any takers?

Almost everyone misunderstands this part about Bitcoin, so I made this video to clear things up. (Pay attention):

"The worst enemy of socialism is not capitalism. It is reality." ~ Margaret Thatcher

Saylor: "Everything gets too big. Big government, big charity, big bank, big education, big medicine, big foreign policy, big defense. In nature when a creature gets too big it collapses under its own weight. The elephant is the limit to what nature can create." "The smaller the better. The smallest possible government. Most government intervention is iatrogenic. It cripples everything."

De Spreidingswet ís de oplossing van de bestuurlijke elite voor het asielprobleem. Ze hadden alleen de burger vergeten. Wat dan wel een oplossing is? Instroom drastisch naar beneden. Dan moet de politiek en bestuur grenzen gaan stellen. Dat zal haaks staan op de ‘laat-maar-komen’-houding gebaseerd op mensenrechten van de vreemdeling. Maar het is hoog tijd voor de mensenrechten van de Nederlandse burger.

A security researcher just documented a large-scale counterfeit Ledger Nano S Plus operation selling compromised devices across multiple online marketplaces. The fake units look identical to the real thing but contain completely different hardware. Instead of Ledger's secure element chip, the counterfeits run an ESP32 microcontroller with modified firmware labeled "Nano S+ V2.1." Seeds and PINs are stored in plain text and transmitted to attacker-controlled servers. Any wallet initialized on the device is drained. The operation goes beyond the hardware. The sellers also distribute a fake version of Ledger Live built with React Native and signed with a debug certificate. It intercepts transactions and exfiltrates sensitive data to multiple command-and-control servers. The campaign spans five attack vectors: compromised hardware, Android APKs, Windows executables, macOS installers, and iOS apps distributed through TestFlight to bypass App Store review. This comes days after ZachXBT documented a separate fake Ledger Live app that made it through Apple's Mac App Store review process. That operation drained over $9.5 million from more than 50 victims, including musician G. Love, who lost 5.92 BTC after entering his recovery phrase into what he believed was the legitimate app. The pattern is clear: the attack surface for hardware wallet users has shifted from firmware exploits to supply chain and distribution fraud. The devices themselves remain secure. The problem is that users are being intercepted before they ever touch a real one. Ledger's own "genuine check" feature can be bypassed when the hardware itself is compromised at the source, which makes where you buy the device as important as how you use it. The rules haven't changed, but they've never been more important: buy hardware wallets only from the manufacturer. Never enter your recovery phrase into any software. If a companion app asks for your 24 words on a screen, it's a scam. Every time.

@JohanMBergman 100% agree, could not have said it any better.

I highly recommend Bert as a bitcoin advisor. He lives and breathes the bitcoin ethos and is one of the few people I would vouch for as someone who would never compromise on his principles and values.

Money is a form of communication, and before you scroll, let me explain how it works:

Wat is gezond eten? De Schijf van Vijf kan je voortaan vergeten. Ze hebben daar “Het Klimaat” meegenomen in hun adviezen. Wat niet automatisch voor elk mens hetzelfde is als gezond eten. Weer een instituut naar de ratsmodee. 🙄 mobiel.voedingscentrum.nl/nl/gezond-eten…

Great article. Thanks for all your hard work pulling all this together. Here's an eight minute summary video:

We cloned Google Calendar, but it's Jeffrey Epstein's schedule from the past 20 years. We're calling it JCal.

Have you watched The Manosphere with Louis Theroux on Netflix? As the Dad of a 17 year old son, I think @jimmycarr is spot on. What do you think?

Het is nog erger dan we dachten. Er gaat. 150 m3 meter balsahout in één turbineblad. De productie betekent een aanslag op het tropisch regenwoud. De footprint van een megaturbine inclusief bouw, beton, plaatsen, koper enz. is groter dan wat zo’n ding aan energie opbrengt.

Over the years we’ve put enormous effort to educate the masses on bitcoin. The active pushback by the Dutch central bank and our ministries is simply unbearable to watch. Indoctrination of children with this kind of suggestive information is a crime against the local population. The analogy reminds us of the rat poison take we’ve seen before from Warren Buffet. In this specific case SnowWhite represents the banks and institutions that are siphoning off most wealth into their extraction pockets. Bitcoin is the poison that should finally kill their parasitic behavior. The dwarfs will be the bitcoiners coming to revive the dead institutions with a healthy approach of cutting back 99% of waste.
