chronicling the products layered upon the bitcoin protocol. dying on the crypto(graphy)-abolitionism hill.
All Bitcoin conferences should follow @SatsConf’s example: no fiat payments allowed.
Boe Jiden's Executive Order 14067 placed "the highest urgency on research and development [...] of a United States CBDC."
Donald just revoked it and prohibited CBDCs. This seems to be the only news worth BREAKING. 🗞️
Sat/Cent parity achieved! Now, 0.00000001 BTC is worth more than $0.01. 🪙
Buy the dip! Bitcoin won’t stay this cheap for long
Data breach alert: 250,000 Brazilians' IDs, credit card details, and bank statements leaked from 7 financial institutions. 🇧🇷
KYC is the illicit activity. 🪪
Kendrick dropping Bitcoin bars on his new album is bullish 🐂
Drake bribing snitches in Bitcoin is bearish 🤡
Thrilled to see Bitkey rolling out new on-ramps with transparent pricing! I didn’t expect them to go beyond CashApp. 🎢
cool to see more wallets embracing timelocks

Closing my Xapo account today.
It served me well for over an year.
Now seeking a Bitcoin-friendly fiat bank that:
🥾 Doesn't hike prices by 567% without offering anything new
🤹♂️ Prioritizes core services over yield gimmicks
Taxation is theft, and using Bitcoin as a Medium of Exchange is self-defense.
Excited about @Debifi's Bitcoin-backed credit card! 💳
Locking collateral in a multisig escrow lowers risk for lenders and slashes interest rates.
Spend without selling. Perfect for holders who live on the Bitcoin standard and need a bridge to the fiat world.
Someone recently lost 0.8 BTC after stepping on an option Sparrow probably shouldn't even have exposed.
Footguns everywhere. Tread lightly! 💣
Footguns everywhere. Tread lightly! 💣
reading this headline gave me headache
I just set up my @Swan Bitcoin Vault, and the user experience was incredibly smooth! 🔐
Using Bitcoin-only hardware wallets like the @Blockstream Jade makes multisig so much easier.
You don't even need to install companion apps like Trezor Suite or Ledger Live.
Days ago, Mt.Gox transferred 141,686 BTC in preparation for the upcoming distribution.
Today, a Japanese exchange loses 4,503 BTC.
Full circle.
When @Blockstream Green upgraded from nLockTime to CheckSequenceVerify, users didn't care about adopting a new OP_CODE.
They cared about no longer needing to back up pre-signed transactions.
When wallets add support to covenants, most users won't care if it's CTV, CCV, or CAT...
Introducing the Humane Bitcoin Wallet ✨
Hardware wallets should feel more human:
🗣️ Read your seed phrase out loud
👕 Pin your life savings to your shirt
🤖 Select and label UTXOs with your voice
🤌 Verify transactions with your bare hands
Not your pin, not your coins! 
every time a mobile wallet asks you to back up 24 words instead of 12, a honey badger dies 🦡
Bolt Cards on the Google or Apple Wallet would be dope
