Did you know that @selfcustodykrux, @SeedSigner and @SpecterDIY all depend on the same Bitcoin Micropython library, Embit?
The library was created by @StepanSnigirev, who’s now building a quantum computer (hopefully so he can come back to defend us from it).
We brought Stepan and all three teams together for a week-long retreat at Casa21 to share knowledge, plan how to pass the torch and decide how Embit’s maintenance will look from now on.
It wasn’t just the first time the three projects were in the same room.
It was also the first time the entire Krux team met in person, the first time for the full SeedSigner team, and a “completesh” SpecterDIY-revival crew.
A huge milestone for the DIY hardware signer community ⚡️
Thanks @HRF for funding the first Casa21 retreat! And thanks @AlexLi98 for joining us!
We’ll publish a full report and transcriptions once @lucasdcf recovers from the incredible São Paulo Bitcoin Week 🇧🇷

Last night, Donald Trump pledged to commute my sentence on day 1, if reelected. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
After 11 years in prison, it is hard to express how I feel at this moment. It is thanks to your undying support that I may get a second chance.

They can only control us because we use their money. I vote for #Bitcoin, every single day.
In 1808 King Gorge III of Great Britain yelled: „The Meter has failed as a global means of measurement.“
Bitcoin has failed to become a global decentralised digital currency, instead falling victim to fraud and manipulation.
The recent approval of an ETF doesn’t change the fact that Bitcoin is costly, slow and inconvenient, argues #TheECBBlog

Chainalysis found that only 0.34% of the transaction volume with cryptocurrencies in 2023 was attributable to criminal activity. Bitcoin's share of this is significantly lower with 25%. Illicit transactions with Euros accounted for 1% of the EU's GDP or €110 billion in 2010.

Die Nachricht vom überraschenden Ableben von Prof. Philipp Sandner schockiert mich zutiefst.
Ich durfte ihn auf vielen Konferenzen kennenlernen und war auch 1x zu Gast in seinem Podcast. Ruhe in Frieden, mein Mitgefühl der Familie. 🖤

Ruhe in Frieden @philippsandner!
Du hast stets die Fahne für #Bitcoin hochgehalten und mit deiner positiven Art deine Mitmenschen begeistert.
Ein herzliches Beileid und viel Kraft an die Angehörigen🙏
Happy winter solstice! Without "technology" and bare human eyes, this is (and always was) ascertainable in approximately 3-4 days from now - that the darkest days of the current cycle are now behind us. Could be a reason to celebrate? 🤔🤫😉
