Episode notes
Alleged State-Level Wallet Seizure Sparks Geopolitical Claims
- China accused the U.S. of brute-forcing Bitcoin wallets tied to a 2020 theft, claiming $12.7B was seized.
- Western researchers say technical evidence is lacking and debate remains unresolved.
Ensure High-Entropy Seed Generation
- Use strong entropy when generating seeds; aim for ~256 bits to avoid brute-force attacks.
- If unsure, regenerate a new seed on a reputable hardware wallet and transfer funds.
Brute Force Versus Targeted Exfiltration
- Brute-forcing random private keys at scale is different from targeting a known rich address.
- Directed extraction often involves social engineering or exploiting flawed RNG implementations.
