Despite the Coldcard hack, self-custody is still one of the best ways to protect your Bitcoin. No exchange freezing your withdrawals, no custodian running off with your retirement fund. Just make sure you practice good custodial hygiene and learn how entropy works. It makes me sad how many people lost what could've been their retirement, or a chance to change their life. But there's a risk that could cost you your life. A French tax office employee allegedly sold a list of crypto holders' names and addresses to criminals. A wrench attack doesn't need your seed phrase. They just show up at your house and physically hurt you until you hand over your crypto. France went from under 1 attack a month before 2025, to nearly 2 a month in 2025, to one every 6 days by mid-2026. Chainalysis puts the global haul from these attacks at $30M+ this year, with France as ground zero. This is the reminder: crypto security isn't just about protecting your assets online. It's about protecting yourself in the real world too. Be safe.(Lark Davis)
