THIS IS INSANE!!! A San Francisco startup says it just turned mercury into real gold. The company is Marathon Fusion. This week they announced they'd made stable gold using fusion neutrons, at 10x the record CERN set in 2025. CERN's record was 29 picograms over four years. So nobody's pouring bars yet. The method is what got me. You hit mercury-198 with a fusion neutron. It loses a neutron, becomes mercury-197, and over the next few days decays into gold-197. The exact same gold sitting in central bank vaults. Their 2025 paper says a one-gigawatt fusion plant built this way could make around 2 tonnes of gold a year as a side product, while it's selling electricity. I've said it for years. Gold is a shiny rock. It's valuable because there's only so much of it and pulling it out of the ground is hard and expensive. If this holds up, gold's scarcity turns into an engineering problem. And you can only delay technical progress. You can't stop it. To be fair, the gold comes out mixed with radioactive isotopes and would need to sit for well over a decade before it's safe to touch. Nobody outside the company has verified the result yet, and commercial fusion is still years away. Peter Schiff has spent years telling everyone Bitcoin has no intrinsic value. This week a startup says it made gold out of mercury. There will only ever be 21 million Bitcoin. No reactor on Earth can make one more.
I expect $ETH $doge to outperform every major crypto over the next 10 years I am huger
Ultimate Hardware Wallet Security Tips 1️⃣ Prepare three hardware wallets: Ledger, OneKey, and Trezor. 2️⃣ Purchase each device directly from the manufacturer’s official website—avoid distributors and e-commerce platforms. 3️⃣ Generate a unique recovery phrase for each device; do not reuse phrases across devices. 4️⃣ Create a multisig address on Safe’s official website and add the public addresses from all three devices as owners, setting the threshold to 2. 5️⃣ Test with small transfers in and out before storing larger amounts. 6️⃣ Securely store your recovery phrases and devices. 7️⃣ Always verify the address and amount displayed on each hardware wallet during multisig transactions to prevent tampering with Safe’s frontend. That’s it.
Hackers act swiftly... Two days ago, the former CEO of Mt. Gox revealed that a hardware wallet may have been tampered with a data-stealing device. A Ledger hardware wallet that appears normal on the outside may internally contain a component capable of reading and transmitting the recovery seed. Mark Karpelès, former CEO of Mt. Gox, recently disclosed that a device he received from Malaysia appeared to have been modified: the shrink-wrapped packaging showed no visible signs of tampering, while a suspicious module was embedded behind the screen, in the space originally intended for cushioning—making it highly concealed. According to Karpelès’ analysis, the implanted device is equipped with an LTE communication module, an antenna, and an eSIM, connected via a microcontroller to the wallet’s SPI bus. The theft mechanism involves monitoring data sent to the screen, identifying characters displayed on it, and capturing the recovery seed during the user’s wallet initialization and seed recording process, then transmitting the stolen data via cellular networks.
