True security comes from human relationships. Unchained cofounder Dhruv Bansal believes the future of bitcoin security is a Network of Keys, distributing risk. That way, when hardware wallets have critical bugs or custodians blow up, people are protected. Talking w/ Mark Moss:

ELON: SOCIAL SECURITY IS THE BIGGEST PONZI SCHEME OF ALL TIME “People pay into Social Security, and the money goes out of Social Security immediately, but the obligation for Social Security is your entire retirement career. If you look at the future obligations of Social Security, it far exceeds the tax revenue. The actual national debt is like double what people think it is because of the future obligations. People are living way longer than expected, and there are fewer babies being born, so you have more people who are retired that live for a long time and get retirement payments. At the risk of being a buzzkill, however bad the financial situation is right now for the federal government, it will be much worse in the future.” Source: Elon Musk, Joe Rogan

YOUR HARDWARE WALLET SUCKS. PERIOD. ZachXBT just said what we've known for years: hardware wallets are garbage. We won't go as far but we surely feel they are not for everyone. They are for advanced users and by no means for wallets that are meant to be accessed frequently. There is one thing hardware wallets are good at: that is keeping crypto secure if someone physically trying to rip private keys (those that give you access to crypto) out of the chip. The reality is that attack almost never happens!😀 When it comes to the attacks that actually drain wallets, hardware wallets make them worse: >> 1. NOT DISCREETE The moment someone sees that little device, you're a confirmed high-value target. >> 2. LEAKED EMAILS AND ADDRESSES Buying one doxxed thousands of people. Leaked customer databases with the real names and home addresses. You just joined a phishing hit list. Emails targeting hardware wallet owners are now so convincing that even veterans get fooled. Privacy can't fail harder than that. >> 3. PAPER BACKUPS You still write your keys on paper. The seed phrase backup negates the entire point of the device. BTW, mobile wallets already moved on: Unstoppable now has passkey wallets allowing to create and restore with zero seed phrase, secured by your device. That will likely become the golden standard in the future. >> 4. YOUR PHONE ALREADY HAS A VAULT Your phone is designed for security. There's a state of the art secure storage chips in your pocket already. Apple and Google built isolated secure elements to guard the most sensitive data in your life. If integrated right by the devs, it's the most battle-tested security hardware on earth. >> 5. MOBILE APP = DISCREETE Nobody knows you're carrying a vault. A phone is the most discreet way to hold crypto. >> 6. MOBILE APPS CAN BUILT CREATIVE SECURITY FEATURES The mobile OS allows many possibilities for secure use. Hardware wallets are meant to stay primitive by design and therefore can't ship security features that are are needed. - Your wallet can wear a disguise. Some wallet apps look like calculators. - Unstoppable's Duress Mode gives you unlimited unlock PINs - under coercion, you show a decoy and keep the rest invisible. - Unstoppable's phishing protection catches look-alike addresses before you send - blocking the #1 way people actually lose crypto today. Hardware wallets solved 2015's problem. Your phone solves 2026's. MOBILE WALLETS ARE THE FUTURE!

Elon Musk: The national debt is actually double what people think it is because of our future obligations. “The government's one big pyramid scheme. Social Security is the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time. People pay into Social Security and the money goes out of Social Security immediately. But the obligation for Social Security is your entire retirement career. If you look at the future obligations of Social Security, it far exceeds the tax revenue. Far. There's our present day debt, but then there's our future obligations. So when you look at the future obligations of Social Security, the actual national debt is like double what people think it is because of the future obligations. Basically, people are living way longer than expected and there are fewer babies being born. So you have more people who are retired that live for a long time and get retirement payments. However bad the financial situation is right now for the federal government, it will be much worse in the future. At the risk of being a buzzkill here. Did you see? So, we better fix what we've got right now, because if it's bad now, it's going to be much worse in the future.” The Joe Rogan Experience, February 28, 2025
