~1,082.65 BTC (roughly $70 million), have now been stolen from Coldcard wallets. 

It involved 1,196 addresses that were fully drained. 

The era of self custody is over. 

I will recommend

> **Visual Note:** A BTC Volatility Index (DVOL) chart on TradingView showing the metric at 35.73 (+0.25%), with price action declining from a May peak near 68 down to the low 30s range by early August. The chart visually illustrates the post's point—volatility dropped significantly as Bitcoin moved lower, supporting the idea that implied vol compresses during a grinding decline rather than a sharp selloff.

> "$BTC
 $DVOL
For those of you who have been around for a few months you know I put on a massive crypto short with IBIT/ETHA puts from 78-82k a few months ago. 

I remember when we first released downwards it was more of a grind and while BTC moved down to 75k, vol also declined"

Someone telling you to buy IBIT reveals what they want out of bitcoin, which is fine too.  They are just dollar maxis and bitcoin is "just" an investment."

As above. Since hardware can still get hacked… would $IBIT technically be the safest way to hodl and stack bitcoin?"
