The Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast - Bitcoin News With a Canadian Spin

From bizarre local crime waves to headline-making political shakeups, the Canadian Bitcoiners are straying far off the path this week to break down the cultural zeitgeist.On this episode, we investigate the inexplicable wave of AC units being stolen right off buildings in Atlanta, unpack Conservative MP Larry Brock’s sudden resignation and what it means for the caucus, and look at the conversation around Indian gangs making headlines in Canada. Plus, we dive into the debate over Indian folk dancing as a high school credit course, settle the ultimate suburban rivalry of Hamilton Man vs. Brampton Man, track Carney’s travels, and tackle whatever else crossed our feeds this week. Grab some popcorn—it's a chaotic one. Let's go!#CanadianBitcoiners #CurrentEvents #HamiltonVsBrampton #LarryBrock #CanadianPolitics #Atlanta #CultureWars————————————————————————————————SPONSORS🔒 easyDNS — Canadian-owned, ICANN-accredited registrar that has accepted Bitcoin since 2013.

It’s been an absolute whirlwind in the Bitcoin ecosystem, and the Canadian Bitcoiners are here to make sense of the noise.On this episode, we unpack the widening fallout from the Coldcard vulnerability, dive deep into the contentious BIP-110 proposal and the looming threat of a chain split, and break down why infrastructure providers like Boltz and Zeus had to take services offline following a wave of AI-assisted attacks. Plus, BTCPay Server urges users to upgrade, corporate treasuries like MSTR and MARA make moves on their Bitcoin stacks, and we share our thoughts on what all of this means for the future of self-custody and network security.

🚨 URGENT BITCOIN SECURITY ALERT 🚨A critical security flaw has hit older Coldcard hardware wallets, resulting in a massive on-chain sweep where roughly 594 BTC (valued at over $38 million) was stolen from hundreds of single-signature wallets. Coinkite has issued an urgent warning regarding Coldcard Mk3 devices (and certain firmware versions) where the device generated entropy was dangerously low....dropping from the expected 128 bits down to roughly 40 bits.In this live stream, we break down:• Exactly what went wrong with the Coldcard Mk3 random number generator (RNG) / entropy fallback.• How attackers were able to brute-force and sweep vulnerable wallets.• Which models and firmware versions are affected (Mk3 vs. Mk4/Mk5/Q).• Step-by-step instructions on what you need to do RIGHT NOW if you generated a seed on an affected device.• Temporary mitigations (like strong BIP-39 passphrases) vs. permanent migration.Don't panic, but take action immediately.

Nine of the biggest names in finance put up $15 million between them. IBM alone is spending $10 billion.On July 23 the Bitcoin Security Consortium launched: BlackRock, Coinbase, Strategy, Block, Blockstream, Anchorage Digital, ARK Invest, Fidelity Digital Assets and Galaxy, pledging $15 million over three years for post-quantum research. There is no pooled fund and no governance role over the protocol — every firm writes its own cheques, and Brink's Mike Schmidt coordinates the whole thing as an unpaid volunteer. Joey and Len take the obvious objection seriously and then take the other side seriously too, because that structure was built specifically to make capture harder, not easier.The number everyone will repeat is 6.9 million BTC — roughly $460 billion — sitting in address types a working quantum computer could empty. That's a Google Quantum AI estimate, and estimates vary widely: other researchers put the exposed share anywhere from 20% to 50% of supply. No such machine exists. Adam Back says decades. Project Eleven's CEO says 2029 worst case, 2033 base case.Then: Jack Mallers walks away from Twenty One Capital and the treasury model keeps coming apart — Satsuma liquidating all 668 BTC, Sequans down more than 80%, Strategy selling 3,588 coins to fund a dividend. And CertiK's numbers on physical attacks against holders, including Canada's own file.Plus Clown World North: a Vancouver council hearing took public comment from Los Angeles, Ottawa waived the reporting requirements on a $12.1 million grant that has produced zero excavations in five years, and Alberta pulled a 2.4-pound goldfish out of a stormwater pond.The Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast - New episodes weekly.X: https://x.com/CanadianBTCPodJoey: https://x.com/joeytweeetsLen: https://x.com/thebtcpricebotSite: https://canadianbitcoiners.com#Bitcoin #BitcoinSecurity #Quantum #Canada

Michael Saylor's "never sell" era is OVER. Strategy sold 3,588 BTC (~$216M) at a 20% loss to cover $1.8B in dividend obligations — and Canadian pensions are holding close to $1B of MSTR stock. On June 29, Strategy's board adopted its "Digital Credit Capital Framework": $1B stock buybacks, a 12% STRC dividend, and a $1.25B "BTC Monetization Program" authorizing Bitcoin sales "when strategic." CEO Phong Le calls it "evolving from one-way capital issuance to active capital management." The mNAV premium that financed five years of buying has collapsed from 2.66x to around 1x — and one in three Bitcoin treasury companies now trades below the value of its coins. In this episode of the Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast:- Strategy's pivot: the mNAV death spiral, coins sold at a 20% realized loss, insider selling, and JPMorgan's $2.8B-$11.6B index-exclusion warning- The Canada connection: CPPIB, AIMCo, National Bank, RBC and HOOPP hold ~$1B of MSTR — your pension bought the wrapper trade- A quantum-proof recovery tool that works for everyone except Satoshi's 1.1M BTC- OkoBot: malware that fakes your Ledger/Trezor recovery screen- Global hashrate is shrinking — but Pakistan is up 733%- CleanSpark signs a $6.6B, 20-year AI data center lease- Canada bans crypto political donations under Bill C-25- Clown World North: Stan Cho's $16,203 hotel bill, Canada Post's $30.8M in bonuses against a $1.57B loss, and $159,800 in flight catering- The BIS confirms Canada's housing crash is the biggest on record as 56,400 Canadians leave in a year The leverage cycle is unwinding — the conviction cohort isn't. Long-term holders just hit a record 14.85M BTC. ETF outflows and treasury-company stress are paper Bitcoin changing hands; the base layer doesn't care.

77 Bitcoin kidnappings logged in France since January — and Canada isn't immune. A Toronto CEO was ransomed for $1M. Saylor sells $216M in Bitcoin. Carney admits climate defeat. CUSMA gets rejected. This week on the Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast: French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez confirms 77 kidnappings and extortions targeting Bitcoin holders since January 2026 — already past all of 2025. Ledger co-founder David Balland had a finger severed by his kidnappers. Then it hits home: Toronto's WonderFi CEO was forced into a car during rush hour for a $1 million ransom, and a B.C. family was held hostage overnight. Joey and Len break down why being loud about your Bitcoin stack is now a physical security problem — and what actually protects you. In this episode of the Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast:- The global Bitcoin kidnapping wave - France's 77 cases and the Canadian parallel nobody's talking about- Strategy (MicroStrategy) sells $216M in Bitcoin - is Saylor's playbook cracking, or is this just treasury management?- K Wave Media's 10,000 BTC dream collapses to zero - the corporate Bitcoin treasury reckoning is here- Mark Carney concedes emissions targets will not be met, pivots to a new energy plan and a west coast pipeline- CUSMA joint review: the U.S. declines to renew, and what it means for Canadian trade- Toronto's FIFA World Cup bill: FIFA cashes out, taxpayers cover $380 million for six games- An Ontario judge exposes CBSA's 577,739-case deportation backlog through one repeat LCBO thief- Plus: a Brampton Ponzi scheme, Montreal's rental relief, BTCPay's new tap-to-pay terminal, Wasabi Wallet's mandatory upgrade, and a clipboard-hijacking cautionary tale Bitcoin doesn't create the incentive to overpromise and quietly walk it back - governments and corporate copycats do that fine on their own. Self-custody still means being your own bank. Just don't be a loud one about it.

77 Bitcoin kidnappings logged in France since January — and Canada isn't immune. A Toronto CEO was ransomed for $1M. Saylor sells $216M in Bitcoin. Carney admits climate defeat. CUSMA gets rejected. This week on the Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast: French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez confirms 77 kidnappings and extortions targeting Bitcoin holders since January 2026 — already past all of 2025. Ledger co-founder David Balland had a finger severed by his kidnappers. Then it hits home: Toronto's WonderFi CEO was forced into a car during rush hour for a $1 million ransom, and a B.C. family was held hostage overnight. Joey and Len break down why being loud about your Bitcoin stack is now a physical security problem — and what actually protects you. In this episode of the Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast:- The global Bitcoin kidnapping wave - France's 77 cases and the Canadian parallel nobody's talking about- Strategy (MicroStrategy) sells $216M in Bitcoin - is Saylor's playbook cracking, or is this just treasury management?- K Wave Media's 10,000 BTC dream collapses to zero - the corporate Bitcoin treasury reckoning is here- Mark Carney concedes emissions targets will not be met, pivots to a new energy plan and a west coast pipeline- CUSMA joint review: the U.S. declines to renew, and what it means for Canadian trade- Toronto's FIFA World Cup bill: FIFA cashes out, taxpayers cover $380 million for six games- An Ontario judge exposes CBSA's 577,739-case deportation backlog through one repeat LCBO thief- Plus: a Brampton Ponzi scheme, Montreal's rental relief, BTCPay's new tap-to-pay terminal, Wasabi Wallet's mandatory upgrade, and a clipboard-hijacking cautionary tale Bitcoin doesn't create the incentive to overpromise and quietly walk it back - governments and corporate copycats do that fine on their own. Self-custody still means being your own bank. Just don't be a loud one about it.

Bitcoin just crashed below $60,000 to a 20-month low - the worst first half on record - with the Fear & Greed Index at 18 (Extreme Fear). Is the bull market over, or is this the bottom smart money is buying? Plus: a deepfake of PM Carney drains a senior's $900K, Strategy's leverage cracks, and Bull Bitcoin beats MiCA.

But under the panic is a divergence: price held the June 26 lows for three sessions while sentiment bottomed, and Strive bought 759 BTC into the fear.

Illinois just signed the most punitive digital asset tax in US history — a 0.2% fee on every Bitcoin transfer, purchase, and receipt. Effective January 1, 2027. No exemption for transfers to your own wallet. And out-of-state brokers serving Illinois residents are captured too. This week on Canadian Bitcoiners, we break down exactly what the Illinois Digital Asset Tax Act does, who it hits, and why the Crypto Council for Innovation called it "the only state to punitively tax customers simply for receiving digital asset activity."But Illinois isn't the only story. The Federal Reserve proposed bank-style KYC requirements for every stablecoin issuer on June 18 — five agencies, joint rulemaking, comments close August 21. Stablecoins are officially becoming banks. Microsoft disclosed a Tor-based clipper malware campaign (Trojan/CryptoBandits.A) that has been running since February 2026, stealing Bitcoin seed phrases from clipboards and redirecting wallet addresses to attacker wallets via USB worm propagation. If your seed phrase ever passed through a shared Windows machine, you need to hear this.On the Canadian side: Prime Minister Carney's first federal budget cancelled the luxury tax on private jets and yachts — the only item in his budget that makes something cheaper — while Durham Region closed a homeless shelter and homelessness spiked 77% in eight months. Strategy's preferred stock STRC hit a record low of $87 against $100 par. Binance exits the EU on July 1. Jack Mallers' $140M XXI stock option package gets scrutinized. Bitcoin mining difficulty dropped 10% in the 11th-largest downward adjustment in network history.The week's thesis: every financial instrument that isn't Bitcoin is being taxed, tracked, or banned. Illinois taxed transfers. The Fed KYC'd stablecoins. Binance got pushed out of the EU. Bitcoin is the last lane still open.⚡ Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast — Bitcoin news for Canadians, every week.————————————————————————————————SPONSORS🔒 easyDNS — Canadian-owned, ICANN-accredited registrar that has accepted Bitcoin since 2013.

Michael Saylor just broke the one rule he built his empire on. Strategy (MSTR) sold Bitcoin for the first time since 2022 — 32 BTC, ~$2.5M — and the "never sell" era is officially over.He's calling it "inoculating the market." Genius move… or the first crack in the $61B Bitcoin machine?

Michael Saylor just broke the one rule he built his empire on. Strategy (MSTR) sold Bitcoin for the first time since 2022 — 32 BTC, ~$2.5M — and the "never sell" era is officially over.He's calling it "inoculating the market."

Iran just launched Hormuz Safe — a Bitcoin-settled maritime insurance platform routing $10B in Strait of Hormuz shipping AROUND SWIFT. Bitcoin is now a geopolitical settlement layer. Canada take note.Iran's Ministry of Economy quietly switched on "Hormuz Safe" on May 16 — a state-backed platform that lets shipping companies buy insurance for transit through the Strait of Hormuz and settle the premiums in Bitcoin. Coverage activates the moment the on-chain confirmation lands. The Islamic Republic is projecting more than $10 billion in annual revenue from a service explicitly designed to bypass SWIFT, dollar rails, and Western insurers. The Strait carries roughly 20% of global oil. Bitcoin is no longer a retail speculation — it's a sovereign workaround layer for the most contested chokepoint on the planet. Canadian shippers, energy traders, and compliance officers will be navigating this for years.In this episode of the Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast:🛢️ Iran's "Hormuz Safe" — Bitcoin-settled insurance for 20% of the world's oil supply⚓ Why $10B in Strait of Hormuz transit fees just became a Bitcoin demand signal🇨🇦 Carney signals openness to selling Canadian ports — sovereignty for sale🏚️ Mortgage Company of Canada halts redemptions as residential losses accelerate⚖️ Federal judge halts deportation of Humboldt Broncos truck driver after 3.5 years served🚛 Ontario AG: trucking schools delivered 59 hours of training instead of 103, 54 schools never inspected👮 OPP probes Scarborough councillor, ServiceOntario insider arrested in licence bribery sweep🤖 Claude AI cracks 9-year-old encrypted Bitcoin wallet — 5 BTC recovered from a dead college laptop⛏️ NEXUS S1 desktop miner: 10 TH/s on 100 watts — home mining gets serious🏔️ Alberta separation petition quashed by judge in First Nations challengeThe throughline this week: institutions everywhere — Iranian ministries, US state pensions, Canadian regulators, lending companies, courts — are reorganizing themselves around Bitcoin's existence.

Saylor just broke Strategy's "NEVER SELL" Bitcoin rule. The $1.5B dividend math, the 11.5% yield, the Q1 -$12.5B net loss, and what it means for Canadian MSTR holders — explained.Michael Saylor told investors on Strategy's Q1 2026 earnings call that he will "probably sell some Bitcoin to pay a dividend, just to inoculate the market and send the message that we did it." Three days later he walked it back, saying the remark wasintended to "jam short-sellers and 'haters.'" Strategy holds 818,334 BTC at an average cost basis of $75,537. The annualized preferred dividend obligation is roughly $1.5 billion. Q1 net loss was $12.54 billion. Bitcoin briefly traded below $81,000 after the call.In this episode of the Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast:- The actual mechanism: buy with credit, let it appreciate, sell to fund preferreds- Why this isn't an MSTR "Ponzi" reveal — and why it kind of is- Sequans' 1,025 BTC sale, the $35.9M convertible-note pressure, and what "treasury reckoning" looks like in practice- Canada's first regulated CAD stablecoin: Tetra's CADD with Shopify and National Bank backing- Coinbase cuts 14% of staff for "AI-native pods" while the exchange goes down for an AWS chiller failure- Germany ends its 12-month Bitcoin tax exemption — €2B revenue target by 2027- The Netherlands prepares 36% tax on UNREALIZED Bitcoin gains by 2028- Bitcoin Core's first-ever memory-safety bug, CVE-2024-52911, quietly patched a year before public disclosure- Notable North: Alberta separation petition crosses 300k signatures, Honda walks from a $15B Ontario EV plant, Doug Ford sacks the Conestoga College board, Ottawa finally starts tracking which temporary residents have actually leftThe orange-pill takeaway: every "treasury company" model — Strategy, Sequans, the next wave — gets stress-tested when the dividends and debts come due in fiat. The companies that buy and never sell are betting that their cost of capital stayslower than Bitcoin's CAGR forever. Saylor just admitted that the bet has a release valve.

The "largest quantum attack on Bitcoin" just collapsed. Project Eleven paid 1 BTC for a 15-bit ECC break — but a classical computer does the same thing. Bitcoin's 256-bit security is untouched.A researcher won the Project Eleven Q-Day Prize for breaking a 15-bit elliptic curve key on a publicly accessible quantum computer, billed by the press as the "largest quantum attack on Bitcoin to date." Within 48 hours half the crypto press had it framed as Q-Day. The reality: a $300 laptop can break a 15-bit ECC key in well under a second. Bitcoin uses 256-bit ECC. The gap between 15 bits and 256 bits is roughly 2^241 — a number larger than the atoms in the observable universe. Q-Day is real as a research milestone. Q-Day is FUD as a Bitcoin threat headline today.On this episode we break down what Project Eleven actually proved, why the "1 BTC bounty" isn't what crypto media made it sound like, why Bitcoin's elliptic curve cryptography is nowhere close to being broken, and what's REALLY worth paying attention to this week — from the Litecoin MWEB 13-block reorg to the Bitcoin Core v30 wallet migration drama, the Bitcoin Knots vs. Core fork update, Shakepay's new BTC-backed loans, SEC Chair Atkins' "innovation" pivot, Kraken's 56 million IRS tax forms, and a $1.1 BILLION Canada Child Benefit story most Canadians missed this week. Plus, of course, Mark Carney's new wealth fund. What a time to be alive.🔗 SPONSORS & LINKS🟠 Bull Bitcoin — Buy Bitcoin directly to your own wallethttps://mission.bullbitcoin.com/cbp🌐 EasyDNS — Domain registration & EasyMail security.Promo Code: CBPMedia (50% off first cart)⛏️ 256 Heat — Heat your home while mining Bitcoin256heat.com📚 BTC Mentor — Bitcoin security & inheritance planninghttps://btcmentor.io/aff/90/Subscribe to Canadian Bitcoiners: https://www.youtube.com/@CanadianBitcoinersSubscribe to clips: https://www.youtube.com/@CanadianBitcoinersClipsFollow Joey: @joeytweeetsFollow Len: @TheBTCPriceBotFollow the show on X: @canadianbtcpod#Bitcoin #Quantum #QuantumComputing #ProjectEleven #QDay #BitcoinFUD #BitcoinSecurity #Cryptography #BTC #Crypto #CanadianBitcoiners

BIP 361: Bitcoin Core devs want to FREEZE Satoshi's coins — 5.6M BTC (~30%) permanently locked to stop quantum computing attacks. Is it theft or survival? The Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast debates.This week Len and Joey break down the most controversial Bitcoin proposal in years: BIP 361, the post-quantum migration plan championed by Hunter Beast that would render an estimated 5.6 million Bitcoin — including Satoshi Nakamoto's untouched stash — unspendable after a hard cutoff date.Supporters call it the only realistic defense against Shor's algorithm and a future quantum adversary capable of cracking legacy P2PKH keys. Critics call it a precedent-shattering attack on Bitcoin immutability — a civil war brewing inside Core.

Adam Back Satoshi Nakamoto — the New York Times investigation claims to have found Bitcoin's creator. We break down why it's clickbait. Plus: Iran accepts Bitcoin and USDT for Strait of Hormuz oil tanker tolls, Trump's World Liberty Financial meme coin disaster, and Canada's Liberal convention drops an exit tax bombshell.On this episode of the Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast, Joey and Len dig into the biggest stories of the week across Bitcoin, geopolitics, and Canadian politics.BITCOIN STORIES:The New York Times published a massive investigation claiming Adam Back is Satoshi Nakamoto based on weak circumstantial evidence like double-spacing and the word "dang." We explain why the trail is ice cold and why real Bitcoiners stopped caring about this years ago. Peter Todd, Hal Finney, Len Sassaman — the usual suspects get mentioned, but nobody's signing a message from the Genesis block anytime soon.A Bitcoiner lost over 5 BTC to a fake Ledger app downloaded from the Apple App Store. We break down exactly what went wrong, why you should never enter your seed phrase into any internet-connected device, and why Ledger's confusing app naming made this worse. This is a brutal but necessary reminder about self-custody security.Iran is reportedly setting up a toll system for the Strait of Hormuz, charging $1 per barrel of oil — roughly $2 million per supertanker. Payments accepted in Chinese yuan, Bitcoin, and USDT. We discuss whether this is real or saber-rattling and why no confirmed Bitcoin transaction has surfaced yet.Trump's World Liberty Financial token holders are getting invited to a Mar-a-Lago dinner on April 25th — after enduring a 95% drawdown. The project borrowed $75 million in stablecoins using their native token as collateral. We compare this to Terra Luna and FTX and explain why this is a disgrace.JP Morgan is launching a Bitcoin ETF at just 0.14% fees, and BlackRock is rolling out BITAS — a Bitcoin covered call income ETF. We explain why covered call strategies bleed over time using MSTY as a cautionary tale, and why you should just be buying corn at these levels instead.YouTube continues nuking Bitcoin channels — Bitcoin.com, Bitcoin All Caps, and Bitcoin Magazine all got hit recently. We discuss the broken incentive structure, bot-driven reporting, and why building on centralized platforms is always a risk.Nunchuk released an open-source CLI for AI agents to manage multi-sig Bitcoin wallets. We discuss why trusting AI with irreversible Bitcoin transactions is a terrible idea given how unreliable these models are week to week.CANADA STORIES:The Liberal Party convention featured a former Google executive proposing exit taxes and closing TN visas for Canadians leaving the country — despite the fact that he himself used those exact programs to work abroad. We tear this apart through the lens of The Sovereign Individual and explain why the state is losing control.The Liberals also pushed a social media ban for anyone under 16. We explain why this creates a surveillance honeypot and won't stop a single kid with a VPN and some Bitcoin.Rosedale residents are now paying $200/month for private security patrols after a 30% spike in home invasions. We discuss what this means for the future of policing in Ontario and draw parallels to South Africa.Three Canadian by-elections are happening today.

Francis Pouliot has a warning for Bitcoiners: You are not safe.A French tax official used government software to sell Bitcoiners' home addresses to kidnapping gangs.

Another HUGE Week for Bitcoiners, with TONS of news from all over the world.🚨 Jane Street just got hit with a lawsuit — and the moment it dropped, Bitcoin's mysterious daily 10AM dump VANISHED.
