NEW: A new 11 year study analyzing Bitcoin’s resilience to submarine cable failures finds the network remains highly robust even when critical internet infrastructure is disrupted. Using data from 2014 to 2025 and 68 verified cable fault events, researchers found random cable failures would require roughly 72% to 92% of inter country connections to fail before causing major node disconnection. Targeted attacks are more effective but still require 5% to 20% of key connections to be disrupted. The study also found Tor usage increases Bitcoin’s resilience because relay bandwidth is concentrated in well connected regions. Empirical results show 87% of historical cable faults caused less than 5% node impact. image

Former UK Finance Minister Kwasi Kwarteng addresing Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson: "Calling Bitcoin a Ponzi is like calling the internet a pyramid scheme because websites gain users over time. A Ponzi has a central operator and promised returns. Bitcoin has neither; just mathematics, code, and a monetary policy that can’t be rewritten by politicians. We’ll chat about this over lunch next week and I’ll have you converted in no time at all."

Two weeks ago Jack Dorsey fired 40% of Block. The internet was divided. Some said it was AI-washing to cover up a bloated company, while others said it was the start of the AI jobpocalypse. They were both wrong. Block is rebuilding itself around an AI intelligence layer instead of management layers. Productivity is exploding and profit per employee is doubling. This might be the new blueprint for building companies in the AI era.

U.S. TREASURY SET FOR RECORD $15B DEBT BUYBACK The U.S. Treasury is projected to repurchase $15 billion of its own debt today, marking the largest Treasury buyback operation on record. The move is designed to boost market liquidity, support Treasury market functioning, and refinance older bonds into newer issues. Importantly, this does not reduce the national debt. The Treasury is effectively swapping older debt for newly issued debt at current market rates as part of its routine debt management strategy. image

NEW IRS FORM IN CRYPTO AUDITS DEMANDS FULL HISTORY OF EXCHANGES AND WALLETS A new IRS form being sent in crypto audits lists 100+ platforms including Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, FTX, and Mt. Gox, as well as self custody wallets like MetaMask, Ledger, and Trezor. Recipients must mark YES or NO for each platform and sign the document under penalties of perjury. The form appears designed to map a taxpayer’s entire crypto footprint across exchanges and wallets, potentially going back years. Missing a platform used long ago could raise questions, while disclosing many may open new lines of inquiry. Tax professionals warn the document could carry significant legal risk and advise consulting a crypto tax attorney before signing. image

BITCOIN SUPPLY SURPASSES 20 MILLION BTC Seventeen years after the January 2009 genesis block, Bitcoin’s mined supply has now surpassed 20 million BTC, according to onchain data. The milestone occurred at block 939,999, with the current block subsidy at 3.125 BTC. The next Bitcoin halving is currently projected for April 11, 2028. With each halving reducing issuance, supply will continue slowing. The final 1 million bitcoin are expected to be mined over the next ~114 years, with the last satoshis issued around 2140, when Bitcoin reaches its 21 million cap. image
