Would The US REALLY Invade Canada?
The Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast - Bitcoin News With a Canadian SpinShow Notes
Mark Carney says he has looked at an "extreme tail risk" involving the United States. The reporter supplied the word "invasion," but the political problem is the same: Canada is talking out loud about scenarios that used to stay in the binder.
This week on CBP: Bitget loses hundreds of millions without a private-key compromise, researchers quantum-proof part of Lightning without touching channel funds, Hester Peirce leaves the SEC, Montreal prices an undefined insult at up to $2,000, and B.C. gets an early election call.
What is the biggest story this week: the Bitget backend failure, the Carney tail-risk interview, or Montreal's new speech bylaw?

MSCI adopted its non-operating company rule on October 15, and the companion spreadsheet of potentially impacted securities lists Strategy with a potential action of "Deleted" — roughly $40.3B of the $44.4B of float-adjusted market cap on that entire list. The affected names publish November 11 and the change takes effect at the close on November 30, leaving 19 days between the list and any forced selling. MSTR dropped 9.56% in a single session after the decision. Tonight, Joey and Len walk through the 4-of-5 ratio test, whether Strategy actually trips it, and what index removal does and does not do to the Bitcoin sitting behind the stock. MSCI's announcement names no company, and Strategy says MSCI-linked funds hold only 3.1% of its basic shares.

Ledger has confirmed an unauthorized hardware implant in an affected device sold through CryptoBilis, a reseller listed by Ledger. How can a hardware wallet pass a Genuine Check while a physical implant spies on its setup? Tonight, Joey and Len examine the reported supply-chain attack, the limits of device verification, and what this does to trust in self-custody. Loss totals remain third-party estimates; the confirmed implant does not establish that every Ledger device is compromised.
