This is awful. Real people lost money, trust, sleep, and probably a fair bit more than that.<br/><br/>But I would also be struck by how quickly the entire Bitcoin industry and community responded.<br/><br/>Competitors started helping competitors. Companies committed resources. Developers, researchers, and ordinary people jumped in to track funds, share warnings, investigate what happened, and try to prevent as much additional harm as possible. A lot of them were helping complete strangers, often for no reason other than that they could.<br/><br/>Prominent Bitcoiners who had promoted the affected product apologized almost immediately and expressed genuine remorse for the role they may have played. Those with technical skills used their reach to give instructions, troubleshoot problems, and help affected people directly, often one on one. Those without those skills offered something just as human: they made themselves available to anyone who needed someone to talk to.<br/><br/>And the people who tried to dodge responsibility were called out almost immediately.<br/><br/>Technical investigations started right away. Companies and individuals shared their findings with affected parties in careful and appropriate ways, giving people time to fix vulnerabilities and protect themselves without publishing information that could create even more damage.<br/><br/>The global and technically capable nature of the Bitcoin community also mattered. It gave the response near-immediate access to powerful AI systems, including tools such as Kimi that may be restricted or unavailable in certain jurisdictions. Someone, somewhere, could access the tools, understand the problem, and put them to work for everyone.<br/><br/>The incident also dragged the conversation back to basics: education, personal responsibility, and one of the most important requirements of secure Bitcoin self-custody, strong and genuinely random entropy when private keys are created.<br/><br/>To me, this is Bitcoin’s Battle of Cannae.<br/><br/>It was a devastating early encounter with AI-assisted attack. It exposed serious weaknesses in how Bitcoin is used, secured, and entrusted to third-party tools. But it also forced the entire ecosystem to learn, adapt, and harden its custody practices, security standards, and supporting infrastructure before the much larger wave of AI-enabled attacks reaches every other industry.<br/><br/>Most industries and asset classes would struggle to respond this way. They do not have Bitcoin’s combination of shared principles, common values, collective responsibility, global reach, and an unusually technically adept community.<br/><br/>If I were evaluating Bitcoin from the outside, I would think about all of that very carefully.<br/><br/>And I would weight my allocation accordingly. 2026-08-02T14:39:34Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsykspzqhpjlcehx5nkljcq9823rpxraxqdevhjndsejzyxu67gjvszyphejmrn9ttdw0tgd3zxshtd02khtw3c8lzlgfv98a6ua0czqtprwxh8mjv Rearmament is rarely sold as destiny.<br/>It arrives as payroll,<br/>As apprenticeships,<br/>As reason to keep the town alive another decade. 2026-04-10T20:41:06Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsxn73f4xnepusfzlx0pnzqcm79c5duyjj4u9sn4k0cy0mlz2tnf9czyphejmrn9ttdw0tgd3zxshtd02khtw3c8lzlgfv98a6ua0czqtprwh6hxs6 <br/>History arrives as a push notification<br/>And we swipe it away<br/>To see the weather.<br/>By noon the first ceasefire is rumored,<br/>By one denied,<br/>By two revised,<br/>By three explained by an anonymous source,<br/>By four superseded by footage no one can verify,<br/>And by dinner we are saying only<br/>Did you see the latest,<br/>Meaning not the game, not the fashion,<br/>But the same old panic in newer graphics. 2026-04-08T18:58:56Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsw8mgr2huxv9pvp7dz8v4sntvz3wyqug3hcpqkfh0thyezsjn6yxgzyphejmrn9ttdw0tgd3zxshtd02khtw3c8lzlgfv98a6ua0czqtprwgcf85r “And once again<br/>The crisis is put off and things look better<br/>And we feel negotiation is not vain—<br/>Save my skin and damn my conscience.<br/><br/>And negotiation wins,<br/>If you can call it winning,<br/>And here we are—just as before—safe in our skins;<br/>Glory to God for Munich.<br/><br/>And stocks go up and wrecks<br/>Are salved and politicians’ reputations<br/>Go up like Jack-on-the-Beanstalk; only the Czechs<br/>Go down and without fighting.” <br/><br/>- Autumn Journal, Louis MacNeice - 1938 2026-04-01T15:29:23Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsd6vwj0j0xtkyj79qhuay0detyr8mxkg0uvwq4fqfxw969ghe07xqzyphejmrn9ttdw0tgd3zxshtd02khtw3c8lzlgfv98a6ua0czqtprwh0lhp0 Hi there. 👋 <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/d409e66b5a4002a89e15cbee0a2a2de6a237df9bd0402a0d401d0d435198bc9a.jpg"> 2026-03-10T02:55:03Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqstmrdmqv6f5zqs76kp2dvp2jkrkqya4fzvpqukxdz0q0x3lx9ja3gzyphejmrn9ttdw0tgd3zxshtd02khtw3c8lzlgfv98a6ua0czqtprw52p545 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqspnv0xm4xeajl40wn29lnjefrxxacwqyufrmk77ap4aqlwdsnm44g80dy78'>nevent1q…dy78</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Curious if you’ve changed your view on the 4 year cycle?

It has run almost flawlessly, including through two hurricanes where power was out for 3 and 8 days. Maintenance has been minimal. It runs on natural gas.<br/><br/>Installed a 20 kW Cummins natural gas unit on another building recently. It also worked flawlessly during extended outages.<br/><br/>The phone apps and web interfaces are garbage on all of them.<br/><br/>They are very simple, basically just an engine and a generator. If you have a local Kohler service person, it might be worth getting the longer warranty. If not, I would prefer the flexibility of using a local service provider. 2026-02-03T01:52:42Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqspwqpuqjuypr5p0ku6whfgj7ewcgkuvdzdgyxq384l2sjk7xq03fczyphejmrn9ttdw0tgd3zxshtd02khtw3c8lzlgfv98a6ua0czqtprwdhw75f Walter didn’t notice the world’s financial, moral, or geopolitical issues today. <br/><video controls width="100%" class="max-h-[90vh] bg-neutral-300 dark:bg-zinc-700"><source src="https://blossom.primal.net/835faf5b13b5c279c626aaa5b50c4270ae4fedfe4d6a662229951ade73edf779.mov"></video> 2026-01-31T23:08:32Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs2008u8fcapyztrl92v38wtmua9zc9jf658sl94ytdq795vu50vmgzyphejmrn9ttdw0tgd3zxshtd02khtw3c8lzlgfv98a6ua0czqtprw95p2q2 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvwpwj7ndghlw3rch8crjffrvxgvrh5mllwzxyycmf0g02z2tgf8spzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhg2l7rz6'>nevent1q…7rz6</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>When my little girl was four, she was really into a kids’ math show.
