"Trustworthiness is not the same thing as fault tolerance, and we need both. Fault tolerance only comes from having independent failure domains. In other words, no single point of failure."

The most under-utilized chart for understanding bitcoin: HODL Cave.
It shows the (historical) return distributions for holding an asset across durations of time.
At around 3+ years of holding, USD has had greater downside risk than bitcoin. 🧵 ⤵️ https://t.co/hzmvIe3uv8

A "golden cross" is historically a positive sign for bitcoin traders, marking the moment that the short-term upward price trend is clearly stronger than the longer-term downward trend.
This happened today for the first time in 15 months. Chart from @BitboBTC https://t.co/sufd6T

The Coldcard incident is an important case study demonstrating that multisig wallets offer a substantial security enhancement by eliminating single points of failure.

8/ In other words, multisig provided multi-key redundancy in the number of keys—but that wasn't all.
It introduced multiple barriers an attacker had to overcome: unrevealed public keys, nuance in how public keys can become public, and the challenge of associating keys.

3. Public keys are not always public.
Public keys are less sensitive than private keys, but they aren’t published openly by default.
If a descriptor remained private and an address had never been spent from, an attacker might not know the remaining public key they needed.

4. Guessing combinations of keys is not always trivial.
Even if all three keys in a 2-of-3 wallet were generated by vulnerable Coldcards, attackers would still need to associate the correct keys together.
That can increase the work required by orders of magnitude.

1. Multisig wallets require a quorum of keys to spend bitcoin.
In a 2-of-3 multisig wallet, signatures from any two of three keys are required.
If a single key was impacted by the Coldcard vulnerability, an attacker didn’t have enough keys to access any bitcoin.

2. All public keys are required to spend from an address.
For a 2-of-3 multisig address, you need the threshold of two private keys, and the third remaining public key.
That final public key could protect funds even if an attacker managed to get two private keys.

1/ Multisig has helped protect 1000s of BTC during the Coldcard incident, and the reasons might surprise you.
Here are a few ways multisig offered protection beyond the simple redundancy of multiple keys:

3/ Singlesig wallets were especially vulnerable.
A singlesig wallet only requires one private key to move bitcoin. If an attacker could find that key, they had everything they needed to steal the funds.
Multisig, on the other hand, offered multiple protections.

On July 30, a serious bug was discovered with Coldcard’s RNG process, revealing that entropy generated by most Coldcards over the past 5 years was insecure.
Because of this, private keys were guessable—which quickly became evident on the blockchain. https://t.co/bnjIpxFvly

After 17 years, bitcoin is still widely misunderstood.
We partnered with @atlanticrethink to make a short film for the curious ft. @natbrunell, @NSmolenski, and our CEO @josephkelly. Not the crypto story. The bitcoin story.
