"Security" is just another Trumpism (aka a lie to most sensible people).
Here is what it is really about:
Tech moguls in the front row of his [Trump's] inauguration, like Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos, are also investors in a start-up aiming to mine western Greenland for materials crucial to the artificial intelligence boom.
a Reuters investigation reported that a group of wealthy U.S. investors and political actors had explored the idea of building a privately governed “freedom city” in Greenland.
Right, but a bit vacuous: Trump personally decides what (categories of) goods get tariffs, and which importers and exporters. I personally never want to hear conservatives talk about "distorting the market" or similar topics. Either they were lying about faith in markets pre-Trump, or they're lying about how good a mercantilist system is today. And, no, "we've gotten new data" is not an excuse. Conservatives were standing athwart history and yelling "Stop!" They had these sacred, immutable principles that "new data" did not effect.
You can buy, sell and hold real gold in a free, regulated market without fees, without taking physical delivery and without dealing with market manipulators and con artists.
Real gold was up 65% in 2025. Bitcoin declined about 30%.
Time to wake up and smell the coffee, there is no logical case left for holding bitcoin.
What I did as a solo SAAS founder over 25 years ago was radical and totally outside the box --- I wrote my own multi-threaded, multi- tenant web server and database.
Why?
Because the security of canned off the shelf all encompassing solutions was horrible at the time.
By doing this, I have nearly full control and can scrutinize, qualify and filter every single request made of my totally unique software. Nothing comes in or goes out without my approval. My main concern is an issue with the networking stack which I did not write.
After 25 years of being attacked on the open internet on a daily basis, my server security has never been breached to my knowledge. The main security issue I have is small scale denial of service type events which I handle by simply blocking the IPs.
