This is a bitcoin bear market, just like every other bear market. This one just feels especially painful.

All bull markets are made up of a small number of big rallies.

Most of the time the price sits flat or down and causes maximum pain and capitulation.

This is brutal. We need to get all important stuff off our phones and computers.

Last night I was hacked.

The hack was delivered via WhatsApp payload. Downloaded automatically and gave access and or computer use to the attacker.

They waited 5 days, following my tweets on X of short positions and closed everything and withdrew directly in one transaction from Hyperliquid > Metamask > Tornado Cash.

The attacker waited patiently and closed shorts as the market got to 68k and withdrew everything. Clearly a crypto native attacker.

They also gained access to my metamask, email, websites, and all of my passwords including X.

It鈥檚 the most brutal thing as I kept everything over the past few days in crypto and on-chain off Coinbase/Kraken. I was planning to move funds back to my Revolut before Christmas time.

Every single penny in dollars was taken, apart from $800. It鈥檚 gone, and in the process of being washed.

Truly the most devastating day I鈥檝e had in my life. Completely shocked by it all to be honest.

I will recover, but this was very sophisticated tech, it caught me completely off guard. The timing was impeccable and it鈥檚 obviously been planned for a while.

Stay safe everyone, will keep you updated. I fear the worst is to come and this incident has set me back many years of savings, time and hard work.

Brutal.

When we set out to build Passport Prime and KeyOS, our goal was to build a new kind of open platform for security applications. We intentionally did not call it a hardware wallet.

Our goal is to make the most secure hardware that anyone can develop apps for, without needing to ask Foundation for permission. And to release it all as open source.

I think that is as cypherpunk and libertarian as it gets.

I am appreciative that @BTChip chose to build his Universal Ethereum App on KeyOS with official backing from the @ethereumfndn. This is a validating moment for us as we grow KeyOS into a real developer ecosystem, launch our App Catalog this winter, and onboard as many developers as possible.

To developers: if you're working on an app that needs offline hardcore security, come build your app on KeyOS. No need to develop for crappy hardware wallets with limited (or no) SDKs where you are stuck in their ecosystem. Write your app in Rust with a real UI, bring your logo and UX, release it directly to your users (to side-load) or through our upcoming App Catalog.

Check out the announcement below! Let me know what questions you have.

A major milestone for Passport Prime and the KeyOS ecosystem.

The Universal Ethereum Signer, developed by Ledger cofounder @BTChip, has launched first on Passport Prime.

An independently developed, open-source app built natively for KeyOS.

Available now in beta for manual installation.
