he said in a post on Truth Social.

“A U.S. Crypto Reserve will elevate this critical industry after years of corrupt attacks by the Biden Administration, which is why my Executive Order on Digital Assets directed the Presidential Working Group to move forward on a Crypto Strategic Reserve that includes XRP, SOL, and ADA,” the post said. “I will make sure the U.S. is the Crypto Capital of the World.”

“And, obviously, BTC and ETH, as other valuable Cryptocurrencies, will be at the heart of the Reserve,” he said in a follow-up post. “I also love Bitcoin and Ethereum!”

Recently, the exchange Bybit suffered an attack that resulted in the loss of over $1.5 billion from a supposedly "cold" wallet. This incident highlights a larger issue: the complexity of the Ethereum blockchain, which can make even the most cautious institutions vulnerable to unforeseen attacks. Read more....

I am a complete noob when it comes to crypto and would like to buy some and use it for an anonymous transaction. But I don't know how to though.

Can I buy it with my credit card? What are some good wallets or buying authority? Should I go for an international one or stay local?

0.00014 BNB is what I need to transfer out the payment I received in Tether. I'm flat broke. I have no way to pay that transfer fee. So the Tether I have in my wallet is stuck there. If I want to send bitcoin the transfer fees are in bitcoin. Same for ethereum, litecoin.

I'm just so frustrated. I desperstely need that money and I can't even send it out

"To ensure full compliance with these new regulations, we needed to act immediately..... removal of the DEX and bridge features from Komodo Wallet"

Fiendish & Friends #10 - Noel Lovisa Founder & CEO of Code Valley talks Emergent Coding, a decentralised software development paradigm that sets to industrialise the way the world approaches software creation.

The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has been authorized to sell approximately 69,370 Bitcoin seized in connection with the Silk Road darknet marketplace, a haul currently valued at around $6.5 billion, DB News reported Wednesday. The decision is set to end a years-long legal dispute over the BTC stash's ownership. On December 30, a federal judge ruled in favor of the DOJ's request to liquidate the crypto assets, the report said. Battle Born Investments, which had asserted a claim to the Bitcoin stash through a bankruptcy estate, ultimately failed in its bid to delay the sale.

As noted, the group had pursued a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request seeking the identity of "Individual X," who initially surrendered Bitcoin, but the effort also proved unsuccessful. Battle Born's legal counsel criticized the DOJ's handling of the case, alleging the department employed "procedural trickery" in its use of civil asset forfeiture to avoid scrutiny. The DOJ, in its arguments before the court, cited Bitcoin's price volatility as motivation for seeking a quick sale of the seized assets. A DOJ spokesperson, when contacted, stated, "The Government will proceed further consistent with the judgment in this case."

The update comes after the US Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal challenging the seizure of the Bitcoin stash, which was brought by Battle Born last October. The decision likely paved the way for the US government to sell Bitcoin, which was valued at $4.4 billion at the time. The US Marshals Service is expected to manage the liquidation process, which, if confirmed, will be one of the largest sales of seized crypto in history.

Bitcoin Cash is quickly becoming the go to chain where DeFi apps are being deployed since builders know they will not run into scaling issues which can threaten the growth of their apps.

Continuing the series, here’s my yearly recap article of everything important that happened in Bitcoin Cash over the last year.

Hi Lemmy,

I'm Martin and have been working on a free and open-source, fully DIY crypto hardware wallet for a couple of months now. I' ve just published the first functional preview of the firmware, which can be built by anyone easily using Arduino IDE, and flashed to a variety of $5-off-the-shelve ESP32 boards from Aliexpress.

The first release will allow for storing up to 30 encrypted seed phrases, and Ethereum signing via Bluetooth Low Energy. Under the hood, it's powered by the cryptographic libraries written and used by Trezor.io.

Support for more interfaces and chains can be added fairly easily due to a modular structure, and there is a whole roadmap planned to extend functionality (starting with support for displays).

If you're interested to learn more, check out the README in the Colibri repository.

Please let me know what you think, and leave a 🌟 on Github if you like the project.

Also if there's anything that you've always missed in or been annoyed by a hardware wallet, your input would be greatly appreciated!

Legislation was introduced in the Texas House of Representatives on Thursday to establish a strategic bitcoin reserve, which could serve as a proving ground for the U.S. Treasury. The proposed bill would enable the state to start building a strategic bitcoin reserve by accepting taxes, fees and donations in bitcoin that would be held for a minimum of five years, Republican state Rep. Giovanni Capriglione announced on an X Spaces event Thursday.

The Texas bill aims to provide a way to strengthen the state's fiscal stability and establish it as a leader in bitcoin innovation, according to the Satoshi Action Fund, a nonprofit bitcoin advocacy group that worked with Capriglione on the bill. "Probably the biggest enemy of our investments is inflation," Capriglione said. "A strategic bitcoin reserve, investing in bitcoin, would be a win-win for the state." "I just filed the bill ... entitled 'An act relating to the establishment of a bitcoin reserve within the state treasury of Texas and the management of cryptocurrencies by governmental entities,'" he said later.

"My goal is to make this bill as big and as broad as possible," Capriglione said. "This initial step is to allow some optionality and flexibility on it, but if I am able to get support from other legislators, we will make it even stronger."

It's "unlikely" a U.S. strategic bitcoin reserve will be established, "but it helps get animal spirits back into the market," Needham's John Todaro told CNBC. He said it's also "unlikely to drive material price gains, as we do not expect the U.S. government will purchase bitcoin in any meaningful capacity, but it's an item that drives excitement and optimism."
