The Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast - Bitcoin News With a Canadian Spin

Ledger has confirmed an unauthorized hardware implant in an affected device sold through CryptoBilis, a reseller listed by Ledger. How can a hardware wallet pass a Genuine Check while a physical implant spies on its setup? Tonight, Joey and Len examine the reported supply-chain attack, the limits of device verification, and what this does to trust in self-custody. Loss totals remain third-party estimates; the confirmed implant does not establish that every Ledger device is compromised.

Also on the show: Metaplanet’s Bitcoin sell-and-rebuy, the movement of seized Bitfinex coins, Coldcard’s phishing warning, and the week’s Canadian headlines, including public-sector job losses and Ontario’s retroactive OHIP rule change.

What would it take for you to trust a hardware wallet’s supply chain?

Ari Paul alleges Coinbase lost $25 million of BlockTower's money and concealed more than $1 billion in hack losses. Coinbase denies hiding a series of hacks or losing $1 billion, and Paul's claims remain unverified. Tonight, Joey and Len break down the allegations, Coinbase's response, and the risks of trusting someone else with your Bitcoin.

Also on the show: Blink's security failure and customer reimbursements, the Bitget breach, and a Cashu experiment sending Bitcoin ecash through Apple's Find My network. In Canada, we examine FINTRAC's redacted suppliers, the Ontario OSAP allegations, and population revisions that change the economic picture. With weak U.S. jobs data and rising Treasury yields in the mix, the question is who gets the control—and who carries the risk when institutions fail?

What would make you move your Bitcoin off an exchange and into your own custody?

Mark Carney says he has looked at an "extreme tail risk" involving the United States. The reporter supplied the word "invasion," but the political problem is the same: Canada is talking out loud about scenarios that used to stay in the binder.

This week on CBP: Bitget loses hundreds of millions without a private-key compromise, researchers quantum-proof part of Lightning without touching channel funds, Hester Peirce leaves the SEC, Montreal prices an undefined insult at up to $2,000, and B.C. gets an early election call.

What is the biggest story this week: the Bitget backend failure, the Carney tail-risk interview, or Montreal's new speech bylaw?
