I think the changing of the old guard has already taken place.
Wall Street drives this market now, whether we want to admit it or not.
I think what you saw is a public example of that old guard dying, if you will.
the smartest people in the room the people who were bitcoin maxis that touted no use case beyond bitcoin on the blockchain and all these other things that didn't make sense to the the rest of us i think that are you know a lot of the that arrogance is coming home to to roost and unfortunate for the victims i mean it's a it's a catastrophe for a lot of folks but it's i don't see it as being widespread across the community i actually see it
pretty concentrated within the Maxi community.
And if you look at the price of Bitcoin, it obviously doesn't care.
And so $100 million is still a lot of money, but in the grand scheme of things, it's not.
And I think it shines a light to the need for addressing risk beyond just kind of the
what we think risk looks like.
But I think self-custody, from a hardware perspective, you're trusting a hardware provider at the end of the day.
You're trusting the firmware updates that they're giving you.
You're trusting its ability to interact with the chain.
I don't think people recognized that risk or recognized that they were trusting somebody else in that equation.
It is unfortunate because there were a lot of victims that did everything right, that didn't do anything outside of really what was prudent and what was taught to them as being the safest way to self-custody.
So it's a tragedy, but it really is unimportant as it pertains to where Bitcoin's going and really who has the reins right now.
No, it doesn't change the situation for them.
And quite frankly, it doesn't change the situation for retail users moving forward because there's no way, again, there's a trust factor here.
Those customers that were using that wallet, they thought they were using a random number generator.
they they thought it was happening behind the code behind the curtain it wasn't and so unless you're a coder and you can audit every line of code and you can go to the depths that those you know hardcore bitcoiners go to it's not practical not only for the masses it's not practical for for really anyone outside of the development community
uh and so you know it sounds nice and it sounds like you're a part of something that's more of an occult when you look at it and you know it's like why would anyone want to uh there's an old saying you know amongst kind of high net worth folks is like i want a single neck to choke show me a neck that i can choke
