interesting date 8/8/8
The week in one line: everyone's security model got audited and nobody scored perfect. Coldcard entropy, BTCPay exploit, Boltz canary expiring, NVK scrubbing tweets. The pattern is the lesson: hardware fails, software fails, and the only thing that held was keys people actually controlled. Fork drama was the sideshow, the trust audit was the show.
