Attacking supermarkets' refrigeration systems is something one could probably expect to happen. Everything that can be hacked will be hacked.

Did you enjoy your grok bot dudes?
Replying to @DogecoinNorway
The cost of serving Grok Bot was unsustainably high relative to revenue

🚨 We are receiving reports of hot wallets on BTCPay Servers being swept by unauthorized attackers. If you're running an instance, please shut it down (./btcpay-down.sh) until we complete the investigation.

End of an era. Forever grateful to everyone who worked on Messari over the past 8 years for building such a fantastic data platform. We'll steward it well.
After acquiring Messari, the unification is now complete at app.blockworks.com As of today, messari.io redirects to Blockworks Intel, with Messari and Blockworks data and research all in one app. Screen the whole market, underwrite what you find, and get alerted when something material changes, all under one login. The Messari API keeps running, and your key already works on the Blockworks Unified API, where all new features ship: docs.blockworks.com

$6.43B Binance theft laundering update: - Laundering now on autopilot: 546 transfers from one wallet, every ~96 seconds - Automated but likely with human oversight, not an AI agent - $2.85B now frozen or seized, ~$3.2B out of reach Full analysis 👇

What else could go wrong these days
‼️ Chainalysis, the firm that tracks crypto hackers, was hacked itself. It told customers in an email seen by ICD that an attacker using "offensive agentic techniques" accessed users' names, emails and role labels. It says this has nothing to do with the $6.3B Binance heist.

We'll done bro. A very bright future awaits you.
Today's my first day at Binance as a DevOps engineer. Everyone has been super welcoming. Bloomberg reached out for an interview and gave me a link for the interview. Couldn't unmute and with their help installed a software to help. Grateful for the warm welcome! Wish me luck!

The Bitcoin "community" is affinity-based, NOT merit-based. If you are new here, this is very important to understand. Your ideas and rationale are not welcome if they conflict with fame, hype, or trend signals. If you are not here to make Bitcoiners passively rich in some way, you are not interesting to them. Your success is correlated to your power and influence, not your creativity. If you lack power, then you must display loyalty to it, or be ignored, or even cancelled in some cases. This is what we built. Are you proud? I am not, because we built a culture that selects by form, not function. All while riding the highest horse we could imagine. I am embarrassed by what we have become. Aren't you?

Now the hard part, to actually enforce it
🇫🇷 The French Senate has passed the “Rioters Pay” bill, making rioters financially liable for damages during public demonstrations. They can be ordered to pay up to €10,000 ($11,000) for property damage, even if they did not personally commit the vandalism. Liability covers anyone who “knowingly participated” in a group formed to vandalize, or who stayed after two police dispersal warnings. Social media platforms must remove content inciting violence, vandalism, or insurrection within 24 hours of an authority request, or face blocking and delisting. To recover unpaid damages, the state can seize parts of social benefits, including family allowances, housing assistance, supplements, and France’s minimum-income benefit.

Probably the best take on the self custody issue I've seen in the past few months.
The Bitcoin industry is paid to recommend certain ways to secure your Bitcoin that are not necessarily the safest. I ran a Bitcoin exchange for nearly a decade. Now I run Fedi. I have incentives too. Here’s what nobody gets paid to recommend.

Digital ID was cancelled, but the infrastructure wasn't. Our CEO investigates what's still being built, the risks to privacy and whether the government can be held accountable.
Did Britain really scrap digital ID? The infrastructure is expanding and most people have no idea how far it's already gone. Read my article in Forbes featuring @Togetherdec @OpenRightsGroup @BigBrotherWatch forbes.com/sites/digital-ass…

Been to Serbia only once, in a northern town of Subotica. Think I might give this beautiful country another visit.

First YouTube Video uploaded! One year after I left my old life, ₿itCoffee is real! It was just a vision for a long time. I didn’t know when or where it would happen. The headquarters is located in one of the fastest growing cities and it is also very close to nature, right across from a park being built in front of my door. In the video I walk through ₿itCoffee and the area and talk about how it came together. Every money I ever make from X, YouTube, TikTok or anywhere else goes straight back into ₿itCoffee to make it greater and also want to build more of them! Like it and share it. This is just the beginning. WE ARE ALL SATOSHI youtu.be/uLHHnKM0cAM?si=2VlD… #Bitcoin #BitCoffee #DaNang

Serbian students overthrowing Vučić is an extraordinary achievement. In 2024, they began protesting. In 2025, they transformed a protest movement into civil dissidence. In 2026, they became a political party — and 2 months later, crushed a corrupt state-entrenched authoritarian.
