WOAH 🤯 How far things have come for @btc_cards in 3 short years… They have gone from an unknown startup to an 8-page feature article in @BitcoinMagazine’s ‘2025 Freedom Issue’ ⚡️ It is surreal to see the art from this 2022 Series 1 “Satoshi’s Limited Edition” 1-of-1 card featured on the title page. Congratulations to the team at Bitcoin Trading Cards and to all the collector’s who have been supporting the company by ripping packs, rooting each other on, and creating one of the most genuine and supportive communities in all of Bitcoin in the process. 🧡 Current time: Block Height 902980

UV reactive foil card art 🖼️ should be more prevalent in #TheHobby These are way more fun to look at than I care to admit 👀 🤩 @CardPurchaser

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.

@girls_bitcoin So sorry for your loss, Mel. 😔

I lost my Mom today. I’m going to miss her very much. Mom and daughter below. 👇 I’m very sad. 😔

@MarcusConnorNH Definitely a glitch. I purchased #18 yesterday, but when I just checked again it says I bought #27? I thought because only 17 had been sold when I purchased that I made it in the first 21.

@citizencrain There must be a technical glitch. The free pack is included with the first 21 sales. Yes, I will do a sale of trading card packs soon. Thanks!

My latest print, The Battle of Current Sea, is now available! First 21 sales get a free pack of trading cards also made by me! 👇

When he was young, he dropped his Shadowless Charizard down INSIDE his childhood home’s door. How? Idk. After remembering it later on as an adult he decided to go find it. What’s this grading?! 💀 🎥: jtsaucy / TikTok

@BVBTC @WorldofRusty The shine takes it too another level. Incredible work! 🔥 ♾️

@WorldofRusty I’m not quite done sanding it yet. I took the photo after washing it off so it’s just water there. But I’ll seal it eventually and it will have a similar wet look.

To be a sculptor it takes a lot of grit. Multiple grits actually. And different kinds. Sandpaper, emery, diamond pads. Lots of grit.⚒️

@buckethatbtc @bitcoinliferaft @btc_cards @BitcoinMagazine Hope you are right on all accounts, brother! At that point, maybe the @smithsonian can carve out some space next to Bitcoin Magazine Issue #19 for some Bitcoin Trading Cards history. 🤓

The work of @bitcoinliferaft & the @btc_cards team is undeniable!! Congrats on the incredible 8-page appearance in @BitcoinMagazine… and to Crain for owning the trading card I believe will be a $1m card when BTC reaches $1m. Never underestimate what Bitcoin, collectibles, and entrepreneurs can do with time. Tik tok ⏰
