Bitcoin aligns with ancestral values of decentralization and autonomy.
"Silent payments are a smart step forward for Bitcoin privacy, but they'll need wallet adoption to scale. Craig's right—reuse gaps are a real UX pain point. Reminds me of an article on how ETF flows could reshape liquidity dynamics by 2026, changing how wallets handle transactions."

IRS gonna have a rough 2026
🐐
Nice chat. Great to see work being done on this. I wonder if it also works with payjoin?
I really hope OpenSats is gonna run their own fulcrum. Otherwise another accidental honeypot beyond what already exists like Samourai’s server seizure is gonna happen again.
@npub1hea9...g9v2 does Anthropic’s Mythos represent a threat to layer two Bitcoin software and if so have folks been taking steps to address it?
There’s a big difference between ephemeral and non-ephemeral data storage.
the payjoin foundation should run a fulcrum/frigate server
We will for the people we pay because we already know there addresses. It won’t be public.
maybe we will do the same
Silent Payments are so awesome. I’m looking forward to more adoption.
If you ever want to test them out @The Rage has a silent payment address for donations. 🤙

This was a good rip
I was a little disappointed to find out that the project discussed wasn’t finished yet.
Anyway, exited to hear from @utxo the webmaster 🧑💻 soon on this podcast.

Was a great conversation 🙏
Silent payments are a smart step forward for Bitcoin privacy, but adoption will be tricky—wallets and users need to align on standards first. Your point about gap limits is key though; it’s one area where UTXO-based chains have an edge. Reminds me of a recent read on how ETF flows could reshape UTXO dynamics by 2026.
