This is an interesting paradox in Bitcoin IMO: For years we’ve tried to use terms like “wallets” to simplify the mechanism behind transaction signing so that beginners could compare it to something they use everyday. Which is fair. The problem is that the actual mechanism is so vastly different than what a beginner is used with, let’s say, a bank app, that the slightest friction instantly worsens the experience. If we stuck to terms like “signing devices” then we would force peoples brain to think differently - and treat Bitcoin tech as something truly novel - then they would accept the trade offs of lesser UX.

Unpopular Opinion: We should rename “Bitcoin hardware wallets” to “Bitcoin signing devices.” It’d fix so many problems in understanding for Bitcoin beginners and make it evident why a passphrase is needed. Everything is a @SeedSigner with extra steps and tradeoffs.

Looks like the entire industry mood started to shift positively already from August 9-12. Price didn't follow until August 17. Data: @BTCPerception

The world is not going to wait for Bitcoin to solve all their problems. Some problems are more acute than others, so they will just turn to other blockchains to get their job done (read: stables) We need other chains to exist. Competition keeps Bitcoin from getting compromised with arbitrary changes. A culture with a dismissive attitude towards other use cases is just living in a bubble. I don't identify with it anymore.

Your RNG had enough entropy, you stamped your seed, did everything right. Even avoided getting a Coldcard because something about NVK was off. Then the warehouse that packs the Trezor boxes leaks your name and address to strangers. Can't catch a break in this space 😅

"The Bitcoin Canary" That's this week's @BTCPerception newsletter. Since the news of the Coldcard exploit is slowly fading from the collective memory of the Bitcoin community, I thought it was a good time to look into the narrative data. And it's a bit grim to be honest with you.

Officially went 🇺🇸 → 🇨🇳 today. From Max Plan subscriptions to pay-per-use APIs. First full day running my usual clankers + manual work on Deepseek V4 Pro. $1.22 spent AND noticeable quality jump. Absolute cinema 🚬

Ever since Instagram, women have had more of a need to "travel and explore the world" more than a 15th-century sailor.

Instagram has done a lot of damage All these people were waiting in a f*cking one hour line under the sun, at 2PM, with a UV index of 9... All just to get “the Santorini Instagram photo” with the blue dome in the background... Good Lord

Iterating on the @BTCPerception app design. Really like how you can see what regions of the world is being talked about in real-time alongside what's trending.

For some reason the obsession people have with Saylor never seems to end. Data: @BTCPerception

Turns out MARA has been selling a lot more than the headlines let on. The miner offloaded 23,093 $BTC ($1.6B) in the first half of 2026, at an average of $70,631. It still holds 35,577 $BTC ($2.3B).

@ts_hodl I think their biggest mistake regarding game theory is that you can't just say "game theory" and have things work out the way you want. You have to actually understand game theory

The morning Swedish police raided The Pirate Bay I was in a strategy meeting at Universal Music in Norway. Everyone celebrated because the pirate ship was sinking. "The adults had won" (lol) Three days later the site was back online. Different servers and different jurisdiction. I looked around the office at my colleagues still planning next quarter's CD releases and realized something. I was working for people who thought they'd won a war that hadn't even started yet.

Seems like the real security model for some Bitcoin maxis was trusting people who agree with you ideologically. That's the same heuristic your uncle uses to pick politicians btw.

Since it will likely land here on Twitter soon anyway: I have recommended the removal of Luke Dashjr from the BIP Editors to the mailing list.

Those who made "Bitcoin maximalist" their entire identity was always cringe to me, but the past few weeks has radicalized me. The LARPing is truly, truly embarrassing. Time to move on.

If you thought financial media had horrible Bitcoin takes, wait until you see their Nvidia takes from 2017. This is what happens when you short innovation.
