Bitcoin Well promoting a 13 August live session with researcher and filmmaker Alex Waltz on what entropy is and why "random enough" is not, framed by two figures: a firmware flaw that drained US$130 million from self-custody wallets, and a volunteer red team that audited 390 Bitcoin codebases in a weekend and filed thousands of findings. Bitcoin Well is a commercial bitcoin exchange and the post is marketing for its own event, which is the interest to state. The 390-codebase figure matches the held Red Team captures for 5 August; the US$130 million is one of several circulating loss estimates that differ substantially, and this record does not choose between them (see /record/funds/). The framing and the figures are the company's own.
