The future of Bitcoin is bound by innovation, not limits.

Don't be fooled. The “National Cryptocurrency Association” is an enemy of bitcoin.

Wallets, miners, exchanges, and other economic nodes play a crucial role in Bitcoin. It's time to begin documenting your evaluations for covenant related op_codes. Your support greatly helps the community understand where everyone stands in their research & findings!

When you use bitcoin-only products and services you strengthen the network. When you use altcoin products and services, you weaken it.

Bitcoin doesn't fit into any single tradfi bucket like "money". It is money, it is a currency, it is capital, it is property, it is a value transfer network, and so, so much more.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Lightning Network is the world wide web to bitcoin's internet of money. It is inevitable that LN would eventually route fiat traffic (USDT) since one day it will route virtually all digital value, which will eventually all settle to the base layer.

Understand that Trump is NOT a bitcoin president. He is a crypto president, which is no different than being a stock market president, which he already was. He has no interest in any bitcoin only effort WHATSOEVER. Personally I don't care as long as he leaves bitcoin alone but seriously, stop calling him a bitcoin president.

Remember that The Silk Road is NOT the "troubled past" or "wild west". Silk Road is the point. Censorship resistance is the point. Don't get it twisted. NGU is merely a side effect.

The silk road is how I first found out about bitcoin. Then I read Ross's posts and discovered why bitcoin and its censorship resistance was so important for the world. I owe everything to him. Now that he's free I hope to one day shake his hand.

Ross is FREE!!

It's January 3rd! That means it's time to take your #bitcoin off exchanges. We do this to remind exchanges that we will not tolerate rehypothecation and to remind newcomers of one very important message: Not your keys 🔑 Not your coins. #ProofOfKeys

How would you like bitcoin to improve? Cat/CatVM to improve bitcoin as an application platform or CTV/LNhance to improve bitcoin as a money Personally I prefer the latter.

The progress and discussion of bitcoin covenants in 2024 has made huge strides and I look forward to the next step which will be activation clients being released sometime in 2025.

You stack coinbase IOUs and MSTR shares and I stack sats. We are not the same.

26 devs have now voiced their opinion for covenant upgrades to bitcoin. So far CTV is the only op code to not have any one left evaluating it which makes sense since it's the most mature. CTV also has the least amount of "No"s without any "Evaluating"s. If you're a bitcoin developer and haven't voiced your opinion yet we'd really appreciate it so the community can be as informed as possible.
