14. User Responsibility and Risk Acknowledgment

THE BITCOIN NETWORK IS A GLOBAL, OPEN, PERMISSIONLESS COMPUTING AND MONETARY SYSTEM. ITS BLOCKCHAIN FUNCTIONS AS A PUBLIC LEDGER AND GROWING PUBLIC GOOD, COMPARABLE IN OPENNESS TO THE INTERNET. BITCOIN IS A DIGITAL BEARER ASSET. CONTROL OF THE PRIVATE KEYS IS CONTROL OF THE ASSET. THIS PROPERTY CARRIES EXTREME PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY AND MATERIAL RISK.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND ACCEPT THAT YOU ALONE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR UNDERSTANDING AND MITIGATING THE FOLLOWING RISKS, AMONG OTHERS:

• Loss or compromise of private keys or seed phrases, resulting in permanent and irreversible loss of bitcoin.
• Use of hardware wallets not purchased directly from the manufacturer or obtained in person at a verified event, including risk of pre-compromised devices.
• Firmware or software updates for wallets that may contain vulnerabilities or be targeted by attackers.
• Shipping, manufacturing, and supply-chain risks for hardware devices.
• Physical attacks, including evil-maid attacks, device tampering, and electrical or circuit-level interference with hardware.
• Man-in-the-middle attacks, remote code injection, and malicious software on mobile devices, tablets, laptops, and desktops.
• Risks from used or second-hand mining hardware, including malware, modified firmware, or undisclosed defects.
• Operation of hobby nodes, “node-in-a-box” devices, and non-professional mining setups, including configuration errors and security gaps.
• Reliance on Bitcoin Core or any other client software, which is free and open-source and carries the risks inherent in any software.
• Exchange custody: when bitcoin is held on an exchange, the exchange controls the private keys. You do not. Exchanges have been hacked, frozen, or become insolvent. You bear the full risk of counterparty failure.
• Address poisoning and similar social-engineering attacks that substitute malicious addresses.
• Clicking hyperlinks, opening unsolicited emails, or installing apps from stores that do not fully vet every submission.
• Any interaction with third-party wallets, exchanges, custodians, or services.

CONCRETE, EARNED EDUCATION IS YOUR EXCLUSIVE RESPONSIBILITY BEFORE INTERACTING WITH BITCOIN WALLETS, EXCHANGES, OR THE NETWORK ITSELF. WE PROVIDE NO GUIDANCE, NO CUSTODY, AND NO ASSURANCE. ALL RISKS ARE YOURS ALONE.
