20 months ago, our team reported a man-in-the-middle (MITM) vulnerability regarding hardware wallets to Trezor and MetaMask. This is a design flaw that, once the communication between the wallet software and hardware device is intercepted or tampered with, can result in significant asset loss for users. This article explains the entire attack process and preventive measures well.
my daughter is now 4 months old. from the day she was born, she’s been living in a world where crypto already exists and ai is used across every industry. using stablecoins and web3 wallets will be as natural to her as breathing.
as her father, i don’t want to place any pressure on how she grows up. instead, i’ll leave her a hardware wallet. odds are, she’ll live to 150 — and her first asset is already waiting for her, on-chain.
after graduation, i put all my savings into bitcoin — bought all the way down from over $1,000 to $120. i lost 90% of everything. it was everything i had saved in 3 years. i lived frugally, but no matter how hard i tried, i couldn’t outrun the bitcoin crash.
at one point, my bank balance dropped to just over 300 rmb. one night after working late, around 10pm, i wanted to treat a friend to a bowl of lanzhou noodles. at checkout, i realized i didn’t have enough. we ended up splitting the bill.
to survive, i had to get a “real” job, so i joined bytedance. even then, i had to sell 2–3 btc each month just to pay rent for a shared apartment. that spring festival, i went home to see my grandma. i couldn’t afford even an economy flight — had to take the cheapest green train and sit upright for 14 hours.
but more than being broke, the hardest part was watching my belief in btc start to shake.
thankfully, i held on.
i genuinely admire the younger generation today. many grew up with better financial conditions, more educated parents, and a global mindset. they’ve got the vision and courage to take on the world.
the future belongs to the young — whether you like it or not.
just released firmware 3.10 for the original classic (not classic 1s, and no, we didn’t forget it). you can now safely surf solana and aptos dapps w/ it.
for non-listed crypto companies, issuing debt to buy tokens isn’t really an option. so building crypto reserves isn’t very practical either.
a more feasible way is to regularly set aside a small part of revenue to buy bitcoin and never sell. this creates moderate exposure without adding operational risk.
but at the core, growth and revenue matter most. if profits mainly come from price gains instead of actual business output, something’s off.
earning tokens ≠ making money. if your bottom line depends on asset swings, it might look good, but it’s shaky. a solid crypto company should thrive even in flat markets. bull runs should be accelerators, not life support.
it’s been 5 yrs since the first onekey wallet dropped — grateful for everyone who’s been with us on the ride. we’re still at the table, and yeah, we’re cooking something new.
just wrapped a call w/ some frens — kinda dying for an iced coffee w/ condensed milk rn. but it’s 2:30am in tokyo, so i’ll chill.
every time i look at our team & product from the outside, it’s like getting hammered awake. when ur deep in the weeds, it’s easy to miss the big picture. but one sharp hit from a pro shows u exactly where u stand in the mkt — that’s where the edge (and pain) is.
this cycle feels v diff from 2018–2021. investors r more rational, and every cycle’s got its chosen ones. nfts? no one talks abt them anymore. ape pfps turned into exit liquidity signals. ppl dropped .eth from their handles. “ultra sound money,” “programmable currency” — all just narrative games in hindsight.
now everyone’s back to believing in btc, like they never stopped.
true crypto-native opps r getting rare. we’re all fighting for niches — the big platform lanes r already taken.
btc hitting new highs won’t be easy. it’ll be volatile af. the key is finding a good pitch to swing at. imo if spx hits 4500 ~ish, risk assets could flip back to being buyable — btc included.
til then, stay patient. keep building. for u, for me.
