Attackers operate on opportunity cost. If a successful attack promises a large payout, they’re willing to invest significant resources to make it happen. But there are limits. Targeting hundreds of millions or billions could justify spending tens of millions on an attack. In practice, most organizations simply don’t have that kind of capital. There are exceptions. North Korea groups are a notable one, having stolen over $2B last year and about $6.75B in total, it can afford to invest heavily in highly sophisticated, high-value targets...

Unpopular opinion from someone who builds wallets for a living: No crypto-native product is going to iterate its way into mainstream adoption. The gap between what our current users want and what mainstream retail needs isn't a UX problem. It's a completely different product with a completely different trust model. Our users want sovereignty. The next 100M users want a safety net. You can't give them one without taking it from the other. I've watched teams try. They start adding mainstream-friendly features, the core community gets uncomfortable, and the product drifts into this dead zone where it's too complicated for normies and too watered down for natives. Nobody's happy. The app doesn't feel like anything anymore. The mainstream crypto product that actually works probably doesn't say "crypto" anywhere on the landing page. And it probably isn't built by iterating on what exists today. It's something new, from scratch, with the chain running invisibly underneath. Wallet builders need to start asking a harder question: are we the app, or are we the plumbing inside someone else's app. I don't think most of us are ready for that answer.

Bitcoin content is dead. And it's not because Bitcoin is dead. In-fact the HNW seem to still be buying. Or because the creators in the space suddenly became shit. Because some of them are really great. It's because - as I predicted a year and a half ago and was hated for - we have hit peak Bitcoin education for retail and they don't care anymore. Retail is utterly cooked, fried and has given up. Retail does not give a single damn about Bitcoin. They will be back to take an L when the prices get moving and momentum builds enough. But remember - there's still only 3 rules to Bitcoin. The question is will you pass the IQ test of market moments like these?

Fiat is a symptom. Human nature … is the disorder. Imperfect people will find a way to misapply, misdirect, misunderstand and misuse “perfect” technology. I don’t make the rules … that’s how greed, groupthink, FOMO and herd mentality works. Bitcoin doesn’t fix human nature.
