A year ago this weekend, the sharpest part of the 10/10 sell-off hit Malaysia at 5:20am on a Saturday.

Roughly US$19B in leveraged positions liquidated in 24 hours. Bitcoin kept making blocks.

What self-custody actually protects you from 👇

quoting naddr1qv…z36z

If you were sitting at a mamak in KL on Friday night, 10 October 2025, the sharpest part of the sell-off was still hours away. Around 11pm Malaysia time, Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that a "massive increase" in tariffs on Chinese goods was being considered, and markets started to slide. Then at 4:50am on Saturday, while most of Malaysia was asleep, he announced an additional 100% tariff on Chinese imports, scheduled to start on 1 November.

一年前的10月10日至11日，加密市场在24小时内约有190亿美元杠杆仓位被强制平仓，创下历史纪录，而在马来西亚，最惨烈的时刻落在周六清晨五点多。价格会跌不是新闻，这篇文章想问的是：那一晚到底是什么坏掉了，你的比特币又握在谁手里？

By Binance's own records, crypto prices bottomed between 21:20 and 21:21 UTC, about half an hour after that second post. Here, that was 5:20 on Saturday morning. Bitcoin had set a new all-time high above US$126,000 that Monday. That night it fell from about US$122,500 to under US$105,000.

CoinGecko, citing CoinGlass data, reported roughly US$19 billion in liquidations over 24 hours, affecting more than 1.6 million traders. That is the size of the positions closed, not the amount investors actually lost. It was reported at the time as the largest single-day liquidation event on record.

A year on, people are still arguing about who was to blame. That argument matters less than the lesson underneath it.

What actually broke that night

Leverage is borrowed exposure. At 10x, a 10% move against you would wipe out your whole stake, and in practice the platform closes the position before that, once your collateral drops below its minimum. Picture buying a RM500,000 condo in Cheras with RM50,000 of your own money, except the bank can sell it the moment your equity dips below its required margin, at five in the morning, without calling you first. That is the kind of automatic closure leveraged traders faced during the sell-off.

When all those forced sales landed at once, buyers stepped back and order books thinned out. Prices fell further, which triggered more liquidations, which pushed prices down again. Thin liquidity turned a bad headline into a cascade.

The platforms felt the strain too. Binance acknowledged heavy load and delays, and a few assets that users had posted as collateral briefly lost their pegs on its order books while trading near normal elsewhere. Binance said the crash came before the depeg and that its core systems stayed up. On 12 October it announced about US$283 million in compensation for users liquidated while holding those specific assets as collateral.

Whatever you think of that response, look at its shape. People whose collateral sat inside the platform depended on the platform's prices, the platform's systems, and the platform's decision about whom to make whole.

What didn't break

The Bitcoin network kept doing what it has done since 2009. Blocks kept coming, roughly every ten minutes, under the same rules. Nobody paused withdrawals at the protocol level, because there is nobody at the protocol level who can.

If you held Bitcoin in a wallet where you control the keys, and had not pledged it as collateral anywhere, the crash still cut its market value. But no exchange could margin-call those coins, force-sell them at 5am, mark them at a broken internal price, or freeze them pending review.

That protection comes with a job. Your keys and backups become your responsibility. A leaked recovery phrase can mean stolen coins, and if you lose your device and your backup together, there is no help desk to call. That trade-off is the whole point: control sits with you, along with the care it needs.

This is the part of Bitcoin we care about most at Bitcoin House Malaysia. Not the chart. The ability for an ordinary person, in Kuala Lumpur or Kuching or anywhere else, to hold savings without depending on a platform's systems or its decisions.

What this means for you in Malaysia

Most of us buy our first Bitcoin through an exchange, and that is a reasonable starting point. The Securities Commission keeps a public list of registered digital asset exchanges, and in December 2024 it ordered Bybit, an unregistered offshore platform, to shut off Malaysian access. Its warning is plain: on an unregistered platform, Malaysian securities law does not protect you.

But even a registered exchange is still a custodian. An exchange balance is closer to your Touch 'n Go eWallet than to cash in your pocket. Handy for moving money around, but the balance lives on someone else's server, under someone else's rules.

So start by knowing where your coins actually are. "On the exchange" and "in my wallet" are not the same sentence. Free, open-source phone wallets like BlueWallet or the Blockstream app (formerly Blockstream Green) are a good place to learn. Send a small amount first and practise receiving and sending. For larger, long-term savings, take the time to learn about hardware wallets before moving more.

Treat your recovery phrase like the geran for your house. Write it on paper, keep it somewhere safe, and use your wallet's built-in backup check before you add more funds. If you practise a full restore, do it only in the official app on a device you trust. Never screenshot it, never WhatsApp it to yourself, and never type it into a website, however official it looks.

And be honest about leverage. If you are putting aside part of your first salary, leverage is a tool that can turn a bad night into a final one. It has no place in a savings plan.

If you would rather set up your first wallet with someone sitting beside you, come by one of our meetups at Bitcoin House Malaysia in KL. Bring your phone and a pen. Nobody there will ever ask for your recovery phrase.

Where were you when you heard about 10/10, and did it change how you hold your Bitcoin?

Key Takeaway: Self-custody removes exchange custody risk, but price swings remain and your keys become your responsibility.

AI can help us create faster. But creators should still own the relationships they build.

Today, AI × Bitcoin: Create Faster, Own Your Audience brought creators, founders, and builders together at Bitcoin House Malaysia to explore practical AI workflows, decentralized publishing, and creator ownership.

Our main takeaway: use the best tools available, but keep your identity, content, and audience portable and under your control.

Episode 1 is now live. 🎙️

For our first full conversation at Bitcoin House Malaysia, we sat down with Jonathan, Head of CCACC, to talk about Bitcoin, Web3, builders, community, and why Malaysia matters.

This episode is also for anyone trying to understand the environment here.

If you're a university student, a builder, or a developer in Malaysia, what does the local ecosystem actually look like? Where are the communities, resources, and opportunities? And what role can Bitcoin play in that picture?

We also explore where Bitcoin genuinely differs from Web3, what both communities can learn from each other, and why builders should think about building from Malaysia, not just for Malaysia.

Different foundations. Different cultures. But plenty worth learning from each other.

Self-custody is not about being extreme.

For long-term savings, relying fully on a third party means accepting counterparty risk.

Most people think Bitcoin is anonymous.

It is not. It never was.

Bitcoin is public by design. Every transaction is recorded on-chain, and if your identity gets linked to an address, your activity can become much easier to trace.

Privacy on Bitcoin is not automatic.

It is something beginners need to understand, just like backups, wallets, and self-custody.

South Korea's Bitplanet just committed $10.8M to mine Bitcoin in Oman and Paraguay, targeting 80+ BTC annually. Not buying on exchanges. Mining it.

This matters: they're treating mined sats as long-term treasury reserves, not trading inventory. Production-based acquisition, energy arbitrage, sovereign stack mindset.

While others speculate, some are building. Malaysia has similar energy cost advantages in Sarawak. The infrastructure playbook is global, but the opportunity is local.

Someone once spent 1,500 BTC on a graphics card. Today that's worth over $150 million. Early adopters didn't lose Bitcoin to hacks or rug pulls—they lost it by not understanding what they held. The lesson isn't "HODL harder." It's this: if you don't control your keys, you don't control your future. Whether it's 0.01 BTC or 1,500, self-custody is how you keep what's yours. Start with BlueWallet. Practice with small amounts. Learn now, before the stakes are higher.

2026-06-13T15:56:28Z

Michael Saylor promoted STRC-backed DeFi stablecoins to millions of followers. When they crashed below $0.91, he claimed "retweets are not endorsements."

Here's the pattern: influential figures amplify yield-chasing schemes built on leverage and altcoin machinery—until it wobbles. Then suddenly, it was "just sharing news."

This is exactly why Bitcoin House Malaysia teaches self-custody. Real bitcoin sits in a wallet you control (like BlueWallet or Blockstream Green), not wrapped in DeFi protocols, not tokenized on other chains, not promised by someone else's repost.

Your keys, your bitcoin. Their protocol, their risk.

It's the kind of quiet launch that changes what's possible: vaults, payment pools, maybe even better Lightning. Second is building tools most people won't touch directly, but everyone will eventually use. Worth watching if you care where Bitcoin scripting goes next.

It's the kind of ground-level innovation that doesn't wait for permission or venture funding. Just someone solving real problems with proof-of-work. Worth your 30 minutes.

Forget slick VC-backed campaigns; one artist with a pen and conviction can do more for adoption than a dozen conferences. Worth a read if you want to see how Bitcoin narratives travel across cultures.

2026-06-08T15:00:55Z

Privacy isn't a luxury, it's a fundamental right, and Bitcoin is one of the few financial tools designed to respect it. While modern institutions leak data regularly, Bitcoin doesn't need your personal info to function. The challenge? Most people still onboard through KYC exchanges that collect everything.

This 2026 guide breaks down practical paths: P2P platforms like Bisq for private acquisition, Sparrow Wallet with your own node for self-sovereign verification, Silent Payments to break address-balance links, and Lightning for off-chain transactions. Tools exist Payjoin, Liquid Network, even Coinjoin but they require deliberate choices.

For Malaysians navigating capital controls or simply protecting financial sovereignty, understanding these layers matters. Privacy doesn't mean hiding it means controlling who sees your business.

Rene Pickhardt makes a compelling case for why Lightning's economic model might just be more sound than Ark's — and it's not about hype, it's about incentives. When you dig into protocol design, the question isn't just "does it work?" but "will people actually run it long-term?" Worth the watch if you care about where second-layer development is heading.

2026-06-03T15:02:18Z

Michael Saylor sold 32 BTC—despite years of "never sell" rhetoric—and now Polymarket bettors are fighting over what counts as "sold." The sale happened May 26–31, but the SEC filing dropped June 1. UMA tokenholders voted "No" twice, claiming the *announcement* missed the deadline even though the market asked about the *sale*.

This isn't about prediction markets. It's about what happens when you rely on third parties to define reality. Just like holding your bitcoin on an exchange: you don't control the keys, so you don't control the outcome. Whether it's a trading platform or a corporate treasury, someone else's decision becomes your problem.

Self-custody isn't just about security—it's about sovereignty over what's yours.

Running a Bitcoin node is an act of sovereignty.

Bitcoin Core 31.0 is out — and if you're running a node in Malaysia or Southeast Asia, this guide is for you.
We put together a practical, step-by-step upgrade guide tailored for local infrastructure conditions: residential ISPs, limited RAM, Docker deployments, and the realities of 3–5 day IBD times on Malaysian broadband.

What's inside:
→ 3 upgrade paths: binary, Docker, and source compilation
→ Post-upgrade verification checklist
→ Config tuning for low-memory environments
→ ISP filtering workarounds for SEA node operators
→ Lightning compatibility notes
Every node you run is a vote for a financial system that doesn't require permission. Every upgrade keeps you on the canonical chain.
The network needs you verified, not just online.
