What the Ledger Attack Means for Your Bitcoin
Description
The Ledger reseller attack, where tampered hardware wallets reached unsuspecting buyers, has the industry rethinking how people hold Bitcoin, and the table makes the case for a third way. Also on the clock: record money into gold ETFs, home sales at a 2020 low, and Anthropic's warning that AI agents could copy themselves onto smart devices. Where's the signal, and where's the noise?
