“People continue to underestimate the threat Bitcoin poses to the system and refuse to understand the lengths to which that system will go in neutering it.” - @Bitcoin Mechanic

GN Nostriches Don’t lose yourself in the mire of confusion. Bitcoin is money and Bitcoin is our only vote in separation of state and money. 1 Bitcoin will always be 1 Bitcoin and there’ll only ever be 21M.

Life Power Tip Develop your curiosity, ask many questions, and do not know the answers. When we are curious, we are open to growing, we see possibilities, we unleash the chains of rigidity that hold us hostage. When we are curious we lighten up, we flow, we learn, we grow.

The Coldcard Bug, Visualized Video description from Youtube: Randomness is the entire security model of a Bitcoin wallet. Imagine every possible Bitcoin seed phrase as individual atoms. An attacker would need to find the one atom that opens your wallet. When a seed is generated properly, the pool of possibilities is so large that the attacker is hunting for one specific atom hidden somewhere across two billion galaxies. No computer on Earth can search that many possibilities. Affected Coldcard firmware drew its seeds from a much smaller, more predictable pool. Representing every possible Coldcard seed as an atom, the whole collection would only be about the size of a large virus. A computer can work through every seed in about three hours. This short film travels that entire distance, from a single atom to two billion galaxies and back, to show what the difference actually looks like. The stakes for affected users are real. Losing funds you did everything right to protect is a hard thing, and you deserve clear answers. Our thoughts are with everyone impacted as this unfolds. BPI's policy reflections on this vulnerability are coming soon. This video is a simplified search-space comparison. It describes affected firmware only, not all Coldcard devices or Bitcoin itself.

Something my husband and I did today is put each other's voices on voicemail incoming messages or simply use the default voice from your phone company. AI voice recognition and manipulation is certainly becoming more clever. They can ring banks, internet services etc using your voice, I'm sure. If not now, then soon. Think calls to your provider for SIM card swaps or messing with your bank accounts, etc. 🫣🧡

Give away those you do not use. Question How could you awaken the sense of ‘challenge’ in your life? Affirmation I choose to experience wonderment. Uplifting Extra A while back, Jodi & I completed this interview together. Jodi Chapman is a bestselling author and an award-winning blogger. She wears her heart on her sleeve and tends to attract others into her life who do the same. It’s her heart’s desire to help us plug back into life by connecting with our soul. Sometimes easier to disconnect from our true voice, our soul, our purpose, the deeper meaning of life, than it is to stay connected. Life gets so busy, we’re all driven by our to-do lists. DOing sometimes seems to be given more priority than BEing. (Link is below)
