Jack Dorsey calls him the guardian angel of Bitcoin, and at BitcoinDay Naples, Luke Dashjr didn't hold back. "Bitcoin has probably a single-digit percentage chance of surviving." 🤯 From the "malware" in Core 30 to why your full node is the only thing standing between Bitcoin and fiat, this is the most honest conversation on the timeline. NICO⚡️ from Simply Bitcoin sat down for a high-stakes conversation about the technical and existential threats facing the network today. If you aren't running a node or mining with OCEAN, you are trusting someone else with your freedom.

The Epstein files reveal that Israel hijacked control of the Bitcoin network over a decade ago. Israel was paying the salaries of 60% of Bitcoin’s core developers and offered highly elusive gifts behind the scenes. This is very suspicious. Epstein and Israel were also major investors in Blockstream, a company that works with Tether and exerts significant influence over Bitcoin. They can manipulate the price by issuing unbacked Tether, control the network’s code because they hired most of the developers, and own a majority of the nodes. This suggests Israel likely has direct access to and influence over Bitcoin. The idea of “decentralization” is clearly illusory, and it is deeply concerning that the network could be manipulated by a single state operating behind the scenes. "If you knew who was really behind bitcoin you would run as fast as you fucking could to sell it!" - Dan Pena

This was the most critical takeaway from the entire interview, yet no one is talking about it. Saylor’s final point was essentially this: you can’t extrapolate into the future based on historical data when the market structure has fundamentally shifted—and continues to do so. Before the approval of the Bitcoin ETFs (and the strategic emergence of Bitcoin accretive derivatives like MicroStrategy), 99% of the capital in the world didn’t have access to Bitcoin. Now, a significant portion of that capital finally has a viable on-ramp to Bitcoin. Take a moment to really consider the implications of that. In other words, the motorcycle has entered the bicycle race. ( Can I request Saylor on a motorcycle entering a bicycle race, please?) And all of your bicycle race data is worthless. Basically, If you're trading #Bitcoin or $MSTR based on historical data (and by extension, the old market structure), you’ll lose. Don’t just take my word for it—listen to Saylor himself: “the fundamental structure of the market is changing.” As a result, the outcomes will inevitably change too. Beyond that, Saylor’s core advice, shaped by his first four years in Bitcoin, is clear: hold through the volatility, stay solvent, and stick to the winning strategy—buy and hold. Bitcoin is intense, unpredictable, and nothing like the traditional markets. Don’t try to predict the beast that is Bitcoin. Prepare yourself for the roller coaster ahead, hold strong, and above all, enjoy the ride.

Just dropped a new episode and it's one of the most important conversations we've had. George is secretly hiding a ₿ in every painting he makes going forward. Fine art galleries won't know. Only Bitcoiners will see it. 😂 But then it gets serious fast. Foundry + Antpool control 60%+ of hash rate. Core V30 deleted legacy wallets. Only ~25,000 nodes running worldwide. And most people at a Bitcoin conference STILL aren't running one. Your keys are safe. But can you actually MOVE your Bitcoin? That's the question nobody's asking. We sat in a room full of fast cars, old stories, and zero filter — and talked about whether Bitcoin is still Bitcoin. Watch it. Then go run a damn node. ft.

Bitcoin is the greatest "exit" in human history, and all 80 IQ psychopaths on Twitter know that. But there is a massive physical backdoor the government is keeping wide open. If you have self-custody of your Bitcoin but only hold one passport, you aren't truly free yet. Think about it: Your body is still a hostage to physical borders and weapons. If your government freezes your travel, your wealth becomes a digital ghost. You can move your money, but you can't move yourself or your family. Asset seizures and global taxation are the new reality for the descending world... ...But the "Ascending World" is here. While the West builds walls, President Nayib Bukele is building a “Bitcoin firewall” for your life in El Salvador. We sat down with Alex Alex Recouso of CitizenX to expose the real "Bitcoin Backdoor" and how to fix it (in as low as 45 days). If you value your freedom and safety, this is the most important hour of your year! Watch or listen the full episode now [link below ]

Adam Krellenstein Returns: Counterparty’s Comeback & Bitcoin’s Soul Search [FULL EPISODE] In this episode of the Hell Money Podcast, we sit down with Adam Krellenstein — Counterparty’s co‑founder and longtime lead maintainer — for a tour of Bitcoin’s formative years and the ideas shaping its future. Adam revisits the birth of XCP, explains why he walked away a decade ago, and describes what dragged him back into the codebase. Along the way we tackle the perennial question: What is Bitcoin for? Is embedding data on‑chain an evolutionary feature or a contagion best off‑loaded to sidechains? And if you aren't buying your daily coffee with BTC, has Satoshi’s dream failed, or merely evolved? We explore: - Counterparty’s origin story - Early Bitcoin dev culture - OP_RETURN drama, Blockstream’s sidechain vision & the data‑bloat dilemma - Whether Bitcoin is prepared for sophisticated political actors - Counterparty culture & NFTs - Adam’s decade‑long hiatus: burnout, philosophy of nature & why he’s back - What's next for Bitcoin TIMESTAMPS 0:00 The beginning of Counterparty 17:30 Worse is better development 24:15 Early Bitcoin dev culture 32:05 OP_RETURN & Bitcoin core devs 38:05 Blockstream & sidechains, storing data on Bitcoin 45:15 Bitcoin is unprepared for sophisticated political actors 54:55 Counterparty culture & NFTs 1:00:30 Adam's departure from Counterparty 1:08:00 Philosophy of Nature 1:19:00 Returning to open source development 1:36:00 What's next for Bitcoin?

The Airbnb for Bitcoin exists. Most Bitcoiners just aren’t using it. Today’s episode is a hard look at something a lot of us don’t want to admit. For all the energy we put into talking about opt-out systems and decentralized living, we’re still handing our travel bookings to platforms that enforce surveillance, collect fees in fiat, and follow every jurisdictional rule they’re told to. Airbtc is trying to change that. But the biggest challenge they’re facing isn’t regulation. It’s the fact that most Bitcoiners still won’t spend Bitcoin. Even the ones who believe in it most. Are the people who say they believe in Bitcoin willing to live differently, or just stack and spectate while Agenda 2030 takes over and the dystopian digital cage closes in? If you’ve ever said you want to live on Bitcoin, this is the episode that might make you ask yourself why you haven’t yet. Listen now. And if it hits a nerve, that’s probably the point. See you in the comments.

Did Epstein influence Bitcoin core development? Short answer: No. This is not how Bitcoin works. Here’s what happened: Epstein donated to MIT Media Lab…who in turn supported MIT Digital Currency Initiative…which in turn funded Bitcoin developers. These devs used to be funded by The Bitcoin Foundation (which I used to run as volunteer Executive Director) there are many devs and no dev or team had power or control over Bitcoin. Under MIT’s patronage the devs had the same deal they had with us at The Bitcoin Foundation: that they could work on the code and not have direction from the org. More importantly — how Bitcoin works is that *even if* a dev was compromised then the nodes and miners would still have to run that code to make it included in Bitcoin. So for example if I had somehow asked the devs paid by Bitcoin Foundation to “add 1000 coins for Bruce” 1) they wouldn’t have done this / it would have been counter to our agreement 2) no miners would run that code & no nodes would recognize it. It would be a laughing stock and completely rejected. Does this mean code dev is not an attack vector? No. It’s still a risk. Particularly with nation state style actors and very careful efforts to co-opt which are much more sophisticated than “give Bruce coins” or something. This is one reason I’m cautious of Bitcoin core funding - especially from actors who’ve had bad judgment in the past. I think we should be cautious of who does the dev and view it as an attack vector. Bitcoin code is transparent and has lots of eyes on it. So in this case especially there isn’t even a solid accusation, let alone evidence that MIT directed nefarious code changes. If that was an allegation the first question should be: well what code specifically did MIT direct and what proof is there and how was it harmful? I think claims around this would collapse. There’s obviously plenty to criticize about Epstein and MIT working with him — and when it comes to digital assets MIT’s work with Gensler and especially its work on CBDCs is much more suspect than the chance that malicious code was pushed through on Bitcoin. Be cautious but this is a nothing burger

BITCOIN RAILS #50: HISTORY OF SEGWIT & TAPROOT | with Pieter Wuille 🔗 YOUTUBE: A primary maintainer of Bitcoin Core from 2011-2022, Pieter Wuille is arguably the most influential developer in Bitcoin’s history since Satoshi himself. After receiving keys to the Bitcoin codebase from Gavin Andresen, who was tasked with maintaining the codebase by Satoshi Nakamoto, Pieter went on to implement some of Bitcoin’s most dramatic and influential upgrades, including but not limited to: - Implementation of Bitcoin’s Taproot and Segwit upgrades - Implementation of libsecp256k + Bitcoin’s unique encoding structure for the cryptography securing all Bitcoin public/private keys - The first import/export feature for Bitcoin private keys into Bitcoin (now Bitcoin Core) - Development of hierarchical deterministic (HD) wallets, enabling backups via a single seedphrase and paving the way for seedphrases themselves - DER signatures, Miniscript, and so much more A truly special episode of Bitcoin Rails, this is a rare long-form interview with one of the most important historical figures in the arc of Bitcoin’s development. Pieter and I walk through how Bitcoin consensus works in practice, the history of Bitcoin's most critical early developments, and the key role of his good friend, Greg Maxwell, nearly every step of the way.

🔥THE ULTIMATE MSTR BULL CASE - 12 MINUTES TO BLOW YOUR MIND🔥 Strategy is going to buy ALL of the Bitcoin and they will be the most valuable company in the world. Don't believe me? Watch this video. In this video, I break down the craziest, and somehow still realistic, 10-year MSTR model we’ve built yet. Using a framework based on what Strategy has already done with MSTR and STRC capital raises, I show how Bitcoin NAV could compound into something utterly monstrous over the next decade, even with a built-in 2 week monthly cool-off period where ZERO CAPITAL is raised. This is where the thesis gets wild. Debt gets crushed as a percentage of enterprise value. Preferred scales, but stabilizes. Bitcoin NAV goes vertical. And the first thing that breaks in the model is not the balance sheet. It’s Bitcoin scarcity itself. THAT'S THE REAL STORY HERE:

🚨 BITCOIN DOMINANCE JUST HIT A DEATH CROSS The last one changed the entire market. 2022: BTC Dominance broke down. Last cross led to the CRAZIEST alt pumps in history. 2x, 5x, even 10x daily pumps. Now the same cross is printing again in 2026. Same chart, same cross, same warning. When Bitcoin dominance breaks down, capital rotates fast. Hope you are ready for what's coming. Keep in mind: I’ve called every major market top and bottom for over 10 YEARS. I was one of the only people who called the top in October, and I’ll do it again, that’s literally my job. If you still haven’t followed me, you’ll regret it.

When even Bitcoin Maxis start getting humbled, you know something’s shifting 👇🚨 In this clip, former Ripple $XRP dev Matt Hamilton confronts BTC bull DaVinci with cold, undeniable facts. Including XRP’s original goal: To tokenize Bitcoin and fix what it couldn’t. Let that settle for a second. XRP wasn’t created to compete with Bitcoin, it was created to make it usable. Imagine this, you’ve spent years holding onto the “Bitcoin is perfect” narrative, only to realize XRP’s tech has already solved the problems BTC still struggles with: speed, scalability, and actual utility. I’ve watched people ignore XRP for a decade. But now? We’re watching Bitcoin influencers get red-pilled live on camera. This matters because it marks a turning point. The XRP vs BTC debate is no longer tribal, it’s becoming factual. And the facts are stacking in $XRP favor. What if the coin you mocked is the one that ends up moving the world’s money?

🚨 THE CRASH IS NOT STOPPING AND MICHAEL SAYLOR IS NOW IN REAL TROUBLE. Bitcoin just crashed nearly -5% in 30 minutes. $BTC hit a NEW 21-MONTH LOW. $STRC collapsed to a NEW ALL-TIME LOW. $MSTR is already down over -83% from its peaK. Read that again. Bitcoin is breaking down. STRC is breaking down. MSTR is breaking down. All at the same time. This is no longer just a crypto dump. This is the market starting to ask the question nobody wanted to ask: Could Strategy eventually be forced to sell Bitcoin? Because if liquidity keeps disappearing… Saylor’s Bitcoin empire becomes the next domino. Keep in mind: I’ve called every major market top and bottom for over 10 YEARS. I was one of the only people who called the top in October, and I’ll do it again, that’s literally my job. If you still haven’t followed me, you’ll regret it.

🔥 STRATEGY IS DRIVING BITCOIN TO $1 MILLION - 2026 WILL BE INSANE🔥 This is my best explanation of the MSTR bull case yet. If you need one video to watch to understand where this BITCOIN SINGULARITY is going over the next decade... THIS IS IT. Strategy has the most aggressive Bitcoin accumulation pace in corporate history... and the STRC preferred stock is turning it into a runaway flywheel. From 88,568 BTC acquired in the first 75 days of 2026… to conservative 10-year models hitting 2.85 million BTC and $2.75 trillion NAV… to the aggressive scenario where they own 8.86 million BTC... This is the full, transparent math the market is still sleeping on... THIS WILL BLOW YOUR MIND:

BITCOIN RAILS #43: A HISTORY OF “SPAM” on BITCOIN | with Peter Todd 🔗 YOUTUBE: 🌿 SPOTIFY: “You cannot prevent arbitrary data from being published in Bitcoin transactions. Even at the consensus level…It’s mathematically impossible.” Legendary Bitcoin contributor since 2009 and self-described "weirdo with a fine arts degree," Peter Todd joins me to unpack the endless wars over Bitcoin's "true purpose," his pioneering work putting "spam" on the blockchain, and why he believes attempts to filter transactions are just “silly.” In this episode, we get deep into the history of using Bitcoin for data storage - which goes back, at least, to the development of Namecoin in 2011. Relatedly, we cover the history and long-fought governance battles around OP_RETURN, relay policy, and our community's evolving definitions of "arbitrary data. Suffice it to say, the Filter Wars of 2024/25 are not new... they are simply one battle in a decade+ war we unpack in detail in this context-rich episode of Bitcoin Rails. In more detail, this episode covers: - The development of Open Time Stamps + Bitcoin's use in validating election data and beyond. - OPRETURN battles of the early days... and how its use has evolved over the past decade. - Why Bitcoin Core "should not try to censor transactions" and the "performance art project" (Libre Relay) that shows why. - Bitcoin as a "replicated database" and why blockchains may legitimately be useful outside of sound money. - Why preventing arbitrary data on Bitcoin is "mathematically impossible" ...and trying to stop it is only distracting us from "more important" efforts, like the Great Consensus Cleanup Antoine Poinsot. This episode of Bitcoin Rails is powered by: - Best In Slot (Best in Slot | BRC2.0 🧑‍🍳) — the leading API for Ordinals and BRC-20 data aggregation and indexing. - Spark (Lightspark) — a statechains implementation advancing Bitcoin-powered payments. - Citrea (Citrea | Mainnet Live 🍊🍋) — the leading Bitcoin rollup technology and BitVM alliance contributor. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:19 Bitcoin Early Days 03:44 OpenTimestamps Project 12:22 Governance and Bitcoin Protocol Debates 26:36 The Blockchain Use Case Argument 35:46 Transaction Version Numbers and Standardization 38:30 Preventing Exploits and DDoS Attacks 40:10 Relay Policies and Economic Decisions 42:00 The Taproot Annex and OP_RETURN 45:07 Libre Relay 01:01:18 Future of Bitcoin and Soft Fork Proposals

So, does it matter that Bitcoin seems to be moving away from its cypherpunk roots? Bitcoin ETFs and Bitcoin Treasuries have taken BTC mainstream. So I asked Saifedean Ammous this very question. His answer might surprise you... 👀👇 "If you have very strong feelings about how people should and shouldn't use Bitcoin, you're in for a rough time." "To be honest, a lot of people project too much onto Bitcoin. Ultimately, it's just a bunch of software and anybody can use it in any way they want. Initially, it's a small subset of people that use it and then they start projecting their values onto it. And then over time, they expect it to continue to abide by that," Ammous said. "If it's a successful technology, it's going to be used by everybody. It's going to be used by small businesses, large businesses, governments, individuals. It's money. Everybody uses money. There are 8.5 billion people on Earth, they all use money and they're all going to continue to use money. And Bitcoin is just the best money." Ultimately, the protocol itself is immune to the financial instruments that TradFi has concocted. If people want to lend against their BTC or create complex financial products, that does not actually impact the underlying network. "The way that the protocol works is that it's completely blind to what you're doing with your coins on the Bitcoin blockchain there is no paper Bitcoin there's no such thing as paper Bitcoin there's only 21 million Bitcoin and every node makes sure of that every 10 minutes and then if somebody who has some of these Bitcoin on their private key decides to sell obligations or financial liabilities referring to that Bitcoin under any condition, that's their choice. It's outside of Bitcoin and it's outside of the realm of other Bitcoin users being able to say this is right or wrong and this should happen or shouldn't happen. People are going to do whatever they want with the Bitcoin, including selling access to it or exposure to it in all kinds of different ways. And if you don't like it, you don't buy it, you can stack your own Bitcoin." You can find the full interview for Cointelegraph in the 🧵.

Boris Cherny (creator of Claude Code, Anthropic): "My entire CLAUDE.md is two lines. With every new model you need less instruction, not more, most people are over-engineering the one thing that should stay tiny." in a 7-minute interview, Boris Cherny breaks down why the smallest AI-coding setup wins, and the one moment you should delete your config and start from scratch most engineers do the opposite: they pile on rules, build scaffolding around the model… then the next model ships and makes all of it useless. what he actually keeps in those two lines, and why he tells his team to throw the rest away. Watch the talk, then read the article below. That’s worth more than a $800 course on agent engineering.
