2421: A Public Hacking Challenge Just Failed Against Bitcoin - $6 Million Remains Untouched

About this episode

More than $6 million worth of Bitcoin remains untouched after BitGo CEO Mike Belshe put 100 BTC behind a wallet and publicly challenged AI to take it. Today we break down the challenge, what it reveals about Bitcoin security, and the crucial distinction between compromising wallets, software or centralized services and breaking Bitcoin itself.

Also today, the U.S. Senate postpones the Clarity Act vote until September, Michael Saylor declares that "Bitcoin doesn't need Clarity. America needs clarity," Russia signs digital asset legislation into law, President Trump discusses the growing use of Bitcoin for payments, and questions grow over China's massive gold reserves as the global Bitcoin race continues.
