Apparently the exploit, with regards to one of the most popular hardware wallets, is misinformation.

You can increase the tariffs enough... that eventually you'll get 'all the manufacturing back' when it's cheaper to make goods domestically.

But at what cost?

This is an interesting point. Still like to apply Occam's Razor

"DoorDash and Klarna partner to offer an eat now, pay later plan"

The trade deficit as far as i'm concerned... results from the US consuming more than it produces. it's not a 'trade' deficit so much as a fiscal deficit... because the excess consumption is funded through borrowing.

fix the fiscal deficit... fix the trade deficit can't have one without the other

No, no it's not. There are tradeoffs in everything! Hard to zap gold around the internet ;)

Thanks i read it over.

My understanding is it relates to malicious 'modules' applied to the chip itself, probably through some sort of supply chain attack. It would require physical access to the chip/device and the installation of malicious firmware or updates that could be undetected.

The 'updates' would weaken the security of either interacting with private keys, or generating new ones not because the authentic modules are bad...

but if the device had been tampered with certain software functions would not work correctly and malicious modules could be added instead. There also seems to be some bluetooth vulnerabilities... but i don't know any bitcoin devices that use bluetooth explicitly.

Just goes to show the importance of open source review and testing. Thanks for the post!!!

I don't have an opinion on 'experts' mainly because i'm not one of them!

However when i hear Mr Trump speak on economic matters... it kinda makes me cringe because what he says doesn't make any sense. I listened to his 'liberation day' speech again today and it's like... none of it makes any sense he keeps talking about what countries 'charge'... it's not serious lol.

Just goes to show the value of gold as of late because it's so simple

Who do they think pays the tariff hmmmm

so the chip has to be physically compromised? How did they compromise a Jade? The articles I've read don't provide any details.

Furthermore it doesn't say if this is remotely or what the mitigating techniques are

The more money printing, the more 'store of value' assets go up

You mean taxes?

increase the monetary base... doesn't that do the opposite?

Brilliant post. Infantil-ization, high time preference, trade protectionism, and lack of economic fundamentals... these things will not make Americans rich quite the contrary actually.

I don't know where Mr Trump learned that 'foreigners pay the tariffs' but it's some serious gaslighting, especially calling it the 'external revenue service' when... the US importer actually pays the tariff.

I mean wtf?

how do we educate folks then?

what's the deal with this?

When you treat people poorly and talk about how much they've 'taken advantage' of you...

don't be surprised when they don't come visit?

That's ok. Thank you for your feedback

I agree. And like I said I think Lightning is amazing. I think Bitcoiners are just 'early' and 'wall street' is oblivious. Otherwise bitcoin would be traded risk-off rather than risk-on but that is changing too I believe... and when that light-bulb clicks it will be momentous.

If there were more places to spend Bitcoin I would use it. There aren't where I live. I made this post to detail my experiences with Lightning in Lugano and it was great #838975

But I had to travel long distances just to get there
