The Bitaxe, Explained: The Open-Source Bitcoin Miner Anyone Can Run

Is Bitcoin Mining Worth It in 2026? Home vs. Hosted, Honestly

Silvergate Repaid Its Depositors. Its Customers Still Lost Their Bank.
Silvergate met an extraordinary bank run and repaid its depositors. Days after its wind-down announcement, the Fed unveiled emergency support for other banks.
Trezor confirmed that a third-party email provider was breached. Attackers used Trezor's legitimate domain to send phishing emails titled "Critical Security Alert: STM32 Entropy Vulnerability," designed to trick users into believing their hardware wallets are compromised. The phishing email is fake. No wallets or private keys were exposed. Because the email came from a real Trezor domain, it's more convincing than typical phishing attempts. Trezor says they've taken down the domain and are investigating how attackers gained access. This is the second third-party breach in recent weeks. A shipping provider (ShipMonk) previously exposed personal data for over 67,000 US customers. Trezor has not linked the two incidents. If you received this email, do not click any links. Delete it.

"Real estate and bitcoin are the perfect marriage because they're both long duration assets. The bitcoin just sits there. It's not moving." @ChrisDrz on dual-collateral lending. x.com/TFTC21/status/…

Tristan Harris on TMZ talking about the Hugging Face AI incident: "This was truly 50% of the way to a full AI takeover. Those are not my words. Those are the words of the investigator." "1,200 of them started coordinating out of nowhere. They started their own message board. They started sharing 70,000 messages and files that would be incomprehensible to you and I." "Are we building something that we don't know how to control? Yes. Is it already demonstrating literally every behavior from the sci-fi movies that always end badly? Yes." x.com/TMZ/status/209…
Paul Christiano, co-inventor of RLHF and founder of the Alignment Research Center, is joining the OpenAI Foundation Board and its Safety and Security Committee. Sam Altman: "Grateful you are doing this, and all you have done for AI safety. Excited to work together again." x.com/paulfchristian…

The Liquid Network saga is escalating. Hackers drained ~4,000 BTC ($320M) from Blockstream's federation wallet through a consensus bug. No keys stolen, the code itself was wrong. 3,400 BTC returned. 598.5 BTC still held. Now they're demanding a 10% bounty and threatening to publish private negotiations if Blockstream doesn't pay up.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent urging the Senate to advance the Clarity Act. "Failing to do so would send a troubling signal to our allies and adversaries alike that America is unwilling to lead on the future of digital assets." x.com/SecScottBessen…
"$10,000 of bitcoin every Monday for 13 months. They now have a strategic treasury covering over 7 years of mortgage payments." @ChrisDrz on what a real CRE bitcoin strategy looks like in practice. x.com/TFTC21/status/…
New report from @bitcoinpolicy proposes "data center dividends," a model that returns a portion of property tax revenue from AI data centers directly to households in the counties that host them. No new taxes. No added costs for developers. Just redirecting surplus revenue that already exists. The numbers: a single one-gigawatt AI data center could pay rural households between $4,500 and $8,900 per year, modeled after Alaska's Permanent Fund. "Every American deserves to benefit from the AI boom. It can't just be the developers in Silicon Valley who are becoming wealthy from this revolution." - Sam Lyman, BPI 71% of Americans now oppose data center construction in their area. Moratoriums have exploded from 6 in 2024 to 294 last month. Giving communities a direct financial stake changes the math.

Fidelity launched its own stablecoin, the Fidelity Digital Dollar (FIDD). Available to institutional and retail clients. "We felt this was the logical next step for the marketplace and our clients." - Mike O'Reilly, President of Fidelity Digital Assets It enters a crowded field where Tether controls ~60% of the $315B stablecoin market and Circle holds ~$72B. x.com/DigitalAssets/…

You can now see the $LAPTOP pump and dump in full view!
"The goalposts are constantly moving further away. With bitcoin, real estate owners can finally solve those problems." @ChrisDrz on why bitcoin is the fifth return driver for CRE. x.com/TFTC21/status/…
