🚨 The market just got slapped by the Coldcard affair.
$70M+ drained from “unhackable” cold storage in under an hour. A 5-year firmware entropy bug turned dormant single-sig wallets into free money for whoever found it (AI or not). Self-custody FUD is real and Bitcoin is feeling it.
But the legal side of this breach is the part most maxis are still sleeping on.
Tomorrow’s Bitcoin Act newsletter drops exclusive expert opinions and hard analysis on the legal fallout of the Coldcard disaster — plus more sharp takes from lawyers and analysts on Bitcoin regulation news across the USA and the rest of the world.
We’ll also hand you every single Bitcoin + law/regulation event happening next week so you’re never blindsided.
First to open tomorrow gets 2,100 sats. Same as always.
Link to subscribe is in the bio.
Sovereignty isn’t just keys. It’s knowing the law that tries to take them from you.
Don’t miss this one.

Buried in the CLARITY Act is a provision most people skipped past: your Bitcoin can't be ruled "abandoned" or seized by a state just for sitting dormant on-chain.
The problem: one analyst just cut its odds of passing this year from 50% to 30%. His words: the calendar "is now the enemy."
This is the final floor window before recess. I laid out what's at stake in today's issue.
Should self-custody protection be non-negotiable?👇

Galaxy Research just cut the odds of the Clarity Act passing this year from 50% to 30%. In one month. Their words: the Senate calendar is now “the enemy.”
Same week, one of the police unions negotiating crypto enforcement flipped and backed the bill.
Nobody’s reporting the part that actually matters: the exact language they said addressed their concerns never changed.
That contradiction says more about where this bill is headed than any headline will.
Tomorrow, The Bitcoin Act breaks it down properly:
→ the read from experts and insiders you won’t get from mainstream media
→ this week’s numbers on legal bitcoin news
→ every legal + bitcoin event worth watching next week — and there’s a ton lined up
⚡ First opener gets 2100 sats, same as always. Fastest one wins.

👀 Nobody can take your Bitcoin.
Then you die and that's the exploit.
No plan, and there are only three endings: the keys are lost forever, your seed ends up in your will as a public court record, or your family mails a death certificate to an exchange to beg for coins that are already theirs.
Every path hands your stack to someone else. The exact thing you opted out of.
It's fixable in an afternoon: multisig with an heir key, an on-chain dead man's switch, a private trust. I wrote the full playbook. Free.
If you died tonight, does your family get your Bitcoin, or does the state? 👇

Russia’s parliament just passed a bill letting retail investors buy Bitcoin.
Mandatory exam. $3,900/year cap. Passed by the State Duma yesterday, July 21.
Not a rumor. Not a Telegram translation. The actual bill. 🧵
2/
New licensing registry for exchanges, custodians, and brokers.
Existing platforms get roughly a year to register.
3/
Retail investors can buy the most liquid crypto assets (bitcoin’s the obvious flagship) through a registered intermediary — but only after passing a knowledge test.
4/
The retail cap: 300,000 rubles (~$3,900) per year, per intermediary.
5/
Qualified investors also have to pass a test, but face no purchase cap. Prior trading history can count toward qualifying.
6/
Owning ≠ spending.
This bill legalizes buying and holding bitcoin. It does not legalize using it as money.
Paying for groceries in bitcoin is still banned domestically — the ruble keeps its monopoly on everyday transactions.
7/
Carve-outs: foreign-trade settlement, mined crypto, and some securities transactions are exempt from that ban.
8/
Banks are now required to block transfers to anyone they suspect of running an unregistered exchange.
9/
Timeline: first reading was back in April. Most provisions take effect Sept 1.
It still needs to clear the Federation Council and get signed into law. Expected, but not done yet.
10/
The part worth sitting with: a government that’s spent years treating bitcoin as a threat to its monetary sovereignty just built a formal, licensed path for its own citizens to buy it.
Gated by an exam and a cap. But a path.
That’s the move a state makes once it accepts it can’t kill the protocol — so it regulates the door instead.
11/
Genuine question: does “exam + cap to start, uncapped once you qualify” count as a country actually opening the door to bitcoin?
Or is it just a more polite capital control?
Where’s the line for you?
12/
I track moves like this across dozens of jurisdictions.

Yesterday, Congress held a hearing on Bitcoin’s future. Almost nobody’s talking about what actually happened in that room.
The CLARITY Act has sat on the Senate calendar since missing its own July 4th deadline. No floor vote. No cloture motion. Just silence, while three unresolved disputes quietly decide how your Bitcoin gets treated under U.S. law.
Tomorrow we break it all down:
→ Real analysis from experts across the US, EU & Asia — the actual disagreements shaping policy, not press releases
→ Numbers of the Week — the data impacting BTC
→ Every date bitcoiners need on their calendar next week — hearings, votes, deadlines most headlines will miss
No noise. Just what protects your Bitcoin.

🚨 MAP UPDATE: KAZAKHSTAN
I track how 140 countries treat Bitcoin: legality, self-custody, taxes, seizure risk. One interactive map. Verified against official sources.
Kazakhstan's president recently signed a decree that forced a rewrite. Incoming:
⚡ 0% income tax on Bitcoin gains
⚡ Stranded gas → legal to power BTC mining
⚡ Amnesty path to bring offshore coins home
Signed July 7. Rollout underway. The 3rd largest mining nation on Earth is positioning for better Bitcoin tax policy than most of the G7.
The map shows which countries protect your sats, and which ones will seize them.
Current score: 6 pro-Bitcoin. 11 hostile. 123 on the fence.

2026-07-16 16:30:28 UTC

Zero. Not lower. Not phased. Zero.
Switzerland exempts crypto gains, unless you trade "professionally." A bureaucrat decides which one you are.
Germany exempts them after a 12-month hold (§23 EStG). A clock decides.
The US de minimis proposals capped around $300 per transaction. A threshold decides.
Every "friendly" regime is the same design: an exemption with a leash.
The only number that isn't a leash is zero. 0% on every sat, from the first block to the last, no clock, no cap, no permission slip.
Rothbard said it in six words: "Taxation is theft, purely and simply."
Notice he didn't add a holding period.
They don't tax the printer. They tax the exit.

2026-07-15 18:05:47 UTC

The guy who spent a year building Bitcoin’s bridge into US law just walked out of the White House.
Three days before the Senate vote that could finally give Bitcoin real regulatory clarity.
No successor plan. No delay to the vote. Just a scramble.
Here’s what happened 🧵
2/
The bill is the CLARITY Act — the market structure law that would finally hand the CFTC clear authority over spot Bitcoin and crypto trading instead of leaving exchanges to guess which regulator might come knocking.
Floor vote: expected around July 20.
3/
The dealmaker was Patrick Witt, head of the White House crypto council since August 2025.
He ran point on CLARITY, the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, GENIUS Act rollout, and digital asset tax policy — basically the entire federal Bitcoin agenda in one person.
4/
Witt’s last day is Friday. He starts Army JAG training July 27.
He already delayed this once to stay at the table. The Army made clear a second delay wasn’t happening.
Three days before the vote. That’s the timing Bitcoin got.
5/
What he actually built matters here.
He brokered the stablecoin yield compromise that had banks and the crypto industry at war. He satisfied law enforcement’s demands on illicit-finance tracking — the exact provisions that were holding up bipartisan support.
That institutional memory just left the building.
6/
Deputy Director Harry Jung inherits it all — CLARITY, the Reserve, GENIUS Act — days before a merged draft of the bill is expected and roughly three working weeks before August recess.
Miss this window and the bill likely doesn’t move again this Congress.
7/
The number that decides everything: 60 votes.
CLARITY needs to clear a filibuster. That means at least 7 Democrats crossing the aisle — in an election-adjacent Congress, on a crypto bill, during a leadership transition.
8/
The real fight was never custody or stablecoins. It’s ethics.
Trump earned over $1.4B from crypto ventures last year. Warren is pushing to bar officials and their families from profiting off crypto. Lummis’s counter: this bill is “the only path that works.”
That fight is still unresolved. It could sink the whole thing.
9/
Bitcoin doesn’t need Congress’s permission to keep producing blocks. It never has.
But market structure clarity decides whether custodians, exchanges, and institutions in the US operate under one clear rulebook — or keep getting regulated by enforcement action.
That’s the part actually on the line here.
10/
Here’s what won’t wait on a Senate vote either way: the IRS.
Form 1099-DA is already live. Blank cost basis? The IRS can treat your entire sale as pure gain. One mislabeled wallet transfer can invent taxes you never owed — and most Bitcoiners don’t find out until the notice lands.
CLARITY governs the exchanges. It doesn’t govern your tax return. That part’s on you, right now.
I wrote the field manual for exactly this. Free the moment you subscribe:
→ What actually counts as a taxable disposal in 2026 (yes, the coffee)
→ The $0-basis trap that turns a clean sale into a CP2000 notice
→ Why a normal cold-storage transfer can get flagged as income

Starting October 1, buying Bitcoin from an ATM in Alaska means handing over your name, address, phone number, and email to a state database, every single time.
That's not a bank. That's not an exchange. That's a kiosk.
It's one of three stories in issue #63 of The Bitcoin Act: a housing bill that quietly banned the Fed from ever launching a CBDC (Trump never signed it, it became law anyway), and the Senate's three-week window to pass the bill that decides whether your self-custodied Bitcoin gets treated as a commodity or a security.
I also broke down exactly what law enforcement can and cannot force you to hand over from a hardware wallet in the US, UK, France, India, and Indonesia. The short version: they can jail you in some countries for staying silent. They still can't move your coins without the seed.
Would you still use a Bitcoin ATM knowing your ID goes straight into a database?

Bitcoin doesn’t need Washington’s permission. It never has.
But the jurisdiction war over who regulates it, SEC or CFTC, decides whether the exchanges and custody tools you actually use survive the next enforcement cycle.
Tomorrow’s issue:
→ July 17, NYC: House Digital Assets Subcommittee field hearing on the CLARITY Act: the bill that would hand the CFTC exclusive authority over Bitcoin’s spot market and finally get the SEC off its back for good.
→ A São Paulo court just ruled AGAINST Coinbase in a $100K self-custody hack case, even though Coinbase never held the user’s keys. If this precedent holds, wallet software providers face strict liability for security they don’t control. Every self-custody dev needs to see this.
→ Polymarket odds on whether CLARITY actually becomes law this year. Still basically a coinflip.
→ Every major US regulatory move this week, translated into what it actually means for you, not policy-speak.
→ Global legal developments, no filler.
→ Sovereign Question of the Week: a reader’s self-custody question that most lawyers get wrong. My answer, with actionable steps, drops tomorrow.
Not your keys, not your coins. Doesn’t mean the law can’t still come for the keys you control.

Issue #62 of The Bitcoin Act, out now:

🇫🇷 Bull Bitcoin drags the EU's DAC8 surveillance database to France's top court.
🏛️ BPI makes itself a defendant in the NY "abandoned wallets" case — using its own cold storage as standing.

And the sheriffs fighting Section 604, protection for devs and node operators, just dropped their opposition.

⚡️ 2,100 sats. To one person. For opening an email.
Not split. Not a raffle. Whoever opens this newsletter first takes the entire pot.
Used to be 21 sats to everyone who opened early. Nice. Safe. But that's fiat thinking wearing a Bitcoin skin: free money for just showing up.
Bitcoin doesn't work that way. At the protocol level, one winner takes the block reward, every ten minutes, since 2009. Pools split earnings among themselves after the fact, sure, but the chain itself only ever pays one winner per block. Now The Bitcoin Act runs the same way.
First to open, wins it all.

👀 Cynthia Lummis just told the Senate the Clarity Act's promise is simple: "₿uild here. Stay here. Grow here."
Prediction markets are betting against her.
The odds of the Clarity Act passing this year keep falling.
A Senate staffer admitted this week: "I don't see how there could be anything by July 4."
Plus, Democrats want new ethics language tied to the Trump family's #crypto profits.
Meanwhile in Europe, the real #MiCA story isn't Binance. Out of 3,000+ firms that used to operate across the EU, only ~200 have a licence before July 1. Hundreds of thousands of users could lose exchange access within days.
Tomorrow's newsletter breaks down both fights: expert analysis, strong opinions, every law & policy event to watch next week, and the Numbers of the Week.

🧵 Legal thread of the week: ASIC Warns Gen Z: Crypto Scams Are Hiding in Your WhatsApp “Share Trading” Groups
#ASIC just warned: scammers are using social media “share trading” ads to pull Gen Z into messaging app groups — then straight onto fake digital asset platforms.
72% of 18-28 year olds have seen the ads.
41% have been contacted about investing in crypto.
The pattern is identical every time.
You click the ad.
You join the WhatsApp group. Scammers impersonate known figures with “hot tips.” They send you to a fake platform that shows real-looking #trades and profits.
There is no trading.
Deposits go straight to the scammers’ bank accounts. When you try to withdraw, they charge extra “fees”, then the money is gone.
The same groups now run recovery scams on pump-and-dump victims too.
Gen Z is the target because they’re online and active.
Survey of 1,127 Australians aged 18-28:
• 23% own digital assets
• 66% of owners trade short-term and speculatively
• 29% base trades on social media influencers
ASIC’s three practical steps: Don’t act on investment advice from social media or messaging groups.
Before sending money, check the platform on AUSTRAC’s register of legitimate virtual asset service providers.
If it feels wrong, contact your bank and the authorities immediately.
This alert lands two months after Parliament passed the Corporations Amendment (#Digital Assets Framework) Bill 2025.
Royal Assent: 8 April.
Digital asset platforms and custodians must now hold an Australian Financial Services License, same as every other regulated financial firm.
12 months to comply.
The #law puts fake platforms on notice. Until enforcement is complete, the only real defense is still the oldest one: verify first, then send a cent.
🏛️ In today’s world, knowing #Bitcoin law isn’t optional, it’s essential for staying free and safe.

🧵 We just crossed 25,000 sats sent to readers of The Bitcoin Act through Lightning ⚡
Not sold.
Not farmed.
Not VC-funded “engagement”.
Just sats sent directly to real Bitcoiners for opening and reading the newsletter early.
And honestly…
this is exactly the kind of internet I hoped Bitcoin would create.
2/ Every issue, early openers earn sats ⚡
Read first → earn Bitcoin.
Simple.
No tokens.
No points.
No fake gamification.
Just Lightning working the way it was meant to work.
3/ The coolest part?
People from completely different countries are now:
• learning about Bitcoin law
• earning sats
• using Lightning
• and interacting economically in real time
through a newsletter.
That still blows my mind.
4/ Most newsletters want your attention.
I wanted to build one that actually gives something back.
So instead of:
“consume content”
it became:
“earn and learn.”
5/ We’ve now sent 25,000+ sats directly into the hands of readers ⚡
Tiny payments.
Instant settlement.
Global.
No permission needed.
This is the future Bitcoiners were talking about all along.
6/ And the crazy thing is…
most people STILL haven’t experienced receiving sats over Lightning.
The moment it clicks, you understand Bitcoin differently.
It stops feeling theoretical.
7/ This is exactly why I built The Bitcoin Act.
Twice-weekly Bitcoin legal intelligence + sats for early readers.
No noise.
No influencer garbage.
Just signal ⚡
8/ If you’re already subscribed:
thank you for helping make this little Lightning economy real.
If you want to join us: reply ⚡ and I’ll send you the subscription link in DM.

Most founders build in silence.
I used to.
Then my subscribers started talking. And everything changed. 🧵
Bitcoiners don't give fake feedback.
No fluff. No politeness. Just brutal, honest signal.
When a stacker tells you something isn't working, you listen. Immediately. 💥
The feedback I got in the last few weeks reshaped The Bitcoin Act.
New sections added. New formats tested. New features incoming.
None of it would exist without the people reading every issue and telling me exactly what they needed.
Here's what most founders get wrong:
They treat feedback as criticism.
The best founders treat it as free product development.
Your most engaged users are your best engineers. You're just not asking them.
#Bitcoin taught us to verify, not trust.
Same applies to building.
Don't assume your product is good. Verify it. Ask. Listen. Rebuild.
The market never lies. Neither do Bitcoiners.
What's coming to The Bitcoin Act because of your feedback:
I won't spoil everything.
But if you think the newsletter is good now, you haven't seen anything yet.
The best issues are ahead. 🧡⚡
If you're not subscribed yet, now is the perfect time.
You'll shape what The Bitcoin Act becomes.
Subscribe free → get the Legal Shield Checklist instantly + 21 sats every issue you open early.

🧵 Legal thread of the week: #CLARITY Act Explained Simply: What It Actually Means for Bitcoin Self-Custody
The Senate Banking Committee just advanced a major bill on Bitcoin. 👀
If you hold your own keys, most of it won’t change your daily life. But two specific parts give Bitcoin self-custody real, long-term legal ground it didn’t have before. Here’s exactly what they are.
Current status, plain and simple: 👇
The bill cleared the Senate Banking Committee on May 14 with bipartisan support. It is not law yet.
It still needs the full Senate, the House, and the President’s signature. If it passes, most rules start 360 days later.
✅ What “Bitcoin as a commodity” actually means:
The bill officially treats Bitcoin like a commodity (similar to gold or oil), not like a stock or investment contract.
This puts spot Bitcoin trading under the Commodity Futures Trading Commission instead of the SEC.
Exchanges get one main regulator with clearer commodity-style rules instead of securities rules. It reduces confusion and overlapping demands on platforms that handle Bitcoin.
The Keep Your Coins protection (Section 605): 👇
This part says federal agencies cannot prohibit, restrict, or impair your ability to use a self-hosted wallet to hold your own Bitcoin.
It is the first time Congress has written this kind of explicit protection into law. It still allows normal enforcement against money laundering and sanctions, it just stops regulators from going after regular self-custody itself.
What happens if a platform fails (Title VII): 🚨
If you keep Bitcoin on an exchange or custodian and that company goes bankrupt, the bill treats your #Bitcoin as customer property.
This means your coins should stay separate and return to you, instead of becoming general assets that other creditors can claim. It gives Bitcoin the same basic customer protection that already exists for traditional commodities and securities.
❓ What this could mean for future tools and services:
Developers building non-custodial Bitcoin software and protocols get clearer safe harbors, as long as they never take custody of user funds.
This survived the committee vote. It may make it easier for more non-custodial wallets, tools, and services to exist without facing heavy licensing or securities burdens.
Exact next steps before the CLARITY Act can become law: 👇👀
It must still pass the full Senate (needs 60 votes to overcome a filibuster).
Then it goes to reconciliation with the House version.
Finally, the President must sign it.
Only after signature does the 360-day clock start before most rules take effect.

If it stalls or gets watered down, that could disappoint but if it sails through, expect a relief rally (with the usual sell-the-news dip first). Keep watching Senate floor timing and any amendments!!
