.Bitcoin Isn't About You was the first person I remember coining the phrase “monetary use case of Bitcoin,” and it never sat well with me. To me Bitcoin is money, full stop. Framing it as a “use case” suggests it might be something else, which betrays its original purpose....

This could work if we (bitcoiners) put their money where their mouth is and start to use bitcoin as money. Miners are profit maxi’s, by design. You want them to fill blocks exclusively with financial tx’s? Force them by making it economically attractive. It’s the only way the trustless nature of bitcoin survives.

@brian_trollz You're literally fighting the free market and economically rational actors. People wasting their sats on blockspace doesn't hurt bitcoin as money. Filtering is blockspace marxism and its a losing battle.

@brian_trollz Imo what's going on is these people got bearish on bitcoin now this is their way of cashing out by fucking over the bitcoin money use case. Truthfully it's their right to sell it all but if they're gonna try to sabotage bitcoin with this bullshit they got a fight on their hands.

@brian_trollz To you. But its a commons, so people can use it as they wish. Should core make modifications to enable this? Arguably not. But Satoshi himself kicked the thing off with an inscription. People be like "its a commons" "bitcoin is for everyone" until they don't like use cases.

Bitcoin Mechanic on who actually controls Bitcoin: "Miners are employees of the network. That's the end of it. The nodes are the boss. People are very worried about what miners think, and not at all worried about what nodes think. But nodes are more important. They're higher up in the hierarchy. When miners get out of line, it's nodes that give them a slap. This was the fork wars. We let miners have a say in whether we got SegWit, and they said no. So we fought a war over it, we won, and we slapped the miners and put them back in their place. If miners are in control, if devs are in control, it just turns into a shitcoin. The people in charge have to be the users running their own nodes." Hardfork Mechanic on The The Bitcoin Matrix Podcast ⚡️ #198.

Centralized #Bitcoin miners will always follow the path of least resistance. If the State tells them to do something they are going to do it. They don't want to be responsible for leading Bitcoin because they have executives, board members, and investors who can be held to some account if a State does not like what they are doing. An appropriately functioning network of decentralized nodes provides both leadership to the miners as well as cover from the encroachment of the State. If the miners are doing something the State doesn't like then they can pass the buck to the bitcoiners who run nodes that set and enforce the rules of the network. However, if bitcoiners defer their responsibilities to the top 5 mining nodes then they have essentially surrendered the network to the State. In August, the path of least resistance for the miners will be to flip the bit and activate BIP110. You can help provide the leadership that gets them to do what they need to do by running BIP110 on your node and putting some hash behind it. Learn why and how here: &

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 🧵.

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

Matthew Kratter of Bitcoin University gives one of the best talks on Bitcoin: "If self sovereign adoption took us from zero dollars a coin to sixty nine thousand dollars a coin, all of those flows from BlackRock and the Trumps and Saylor and everything has has only taken us a few ten thousand dollars higher than at this moment." "Instead of looking to the government or Saylor or BlackRock or someone else as our saviors, if you want the price of Bitcoin to go up, you just need to use it as money yourself. You need to because if Bitcoiners aren't going to use Bitcoin as money, I'm not sure who is." "Ask to pay in Bitcoin, ask to be paid to be paid in Bitcoin, because this is how real Bitcoin adoption works. You should be HODLing your sats, trying to get rid of US dollars, whatever your fiat currency is, because this is the money of pedophile rings and forever wars. Don't hold US dollars. And that's the that's the fastest way we get to higher Bitcoin prices is we need to destroy US dollar network effects. And we need to increase Bitcoin network effects. And the way you do that is every Bitcoiner runs a node, gets paid in Bitcoin and tries to buy as much as possible using using Bitcoin."

Former BlackRock fund manager Ed Dowd: "The metals are telling you that there's uncertainty out there and a lack of trust... [and] that gold and silver are going to be part of the new monetary system... [so] gold and silver are the trade and not Bitcoin so much." This clip of Dowd (Edward Dowd), who is also the founder of Phinance Technologies, is taken from a discussion with Michael Farris (Michael Farris) posted to YouTube on January 13, 2026. ---------------Partial transcription of clip--------------- "The metals are telling you that there's uncertainty out there and a lack of trust. I think the big, the moves in gold and silver are really discounting a lack of trust and fear of what is coming and what it's going to look like. And, and also it's also telling you that gold and silver are going to be part of the new monetary system. "And Bitcoin, interestingly enough, has stalled out. It's down 20% since October, the high in October and Bitcoin is barely up today. So, you know, there was always this thesis around Bitcoin that when when there's a new monetary system comes, it's going to, it's going to be protection against, you know, any of that kind of uncertainty. It's increasing. It's becoming increasingly obvious to me that gold and silver are the trade and not Bitcoin so much. "And Bitcoin, unfortunately, is very highly correlated to the Nasdaq and it's disconnected from the Nasdaq. The Nasdaq and Bitcoin have disconnected temporarily. Generally speaking, they're highly correlated. So what does that say? Does that say Nasdaq is going to catch up down to Bitcoin or is Bitcoin going to rally back up? I think that the Nasdaq is going to go down to bitcoin. So that's where we are."

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

.Erik Voorhees: It’s actually good, from the Trojan horse perspective, that Bitcoin was traceable enough for traditional institutions to tolerate it. “When Bitcoin came out, everyone called it private, thought of it as private. It was referred to as anonymous in every news story. And in some ways, it is very private and very anonymous. But the truth is that it’s also extremely trackable and traceable. It is not private in reality. And the question is, should it have been from the start? And at first I thought, yes, it should have been more private. And that was a mistake in its design. However, I think if Bitcoin had been anonymous truly from the start, like a Zcash or a Monero, it would have had such antagonism from the state. I don’t know that the state could have snuffed it out, but they would have tried much harder. And I think it’s actually good, from the Trojan horse metaphor perspective, that it was traceable enough that the traditional institutions could tolerate it. They’ve never liked it, but they could at least tolerate it because there is some traceability. And that has allowed Bitcoin to grow. And I think in its shadow, that other crypto assets are actually anonymous is very healthy. The strength of cryptocurrency as a concept in society, I think, is served best when Bitcoin itself is not perfectly private, but other assets are. That is a very difficult thing, I think, for the state to combat. And that decentralization of attributes is really, really crucial. So, yeah, I’m very glad that there are other coins that are private. I want there to be more of them, and I want them to be more popular. And I think it’s okay that Bitcoin itself is not.”

Exactly 1 year ago, I launched #Bitcoin Backstage alongside Bitcoin Magazine. It was a project that's sole purpose was to build a bridge between the bitcoin community and the normies, making the trending topics more digestible. As I watch the first couple of episodes, all I can think is how much we have grown, how we have improved, and how much love, sweat and tears have gone to this project. Andrea and I launched this project PEAK bear market, with all the odds against us. To those that are creating or want to start something but are waiting for the right moment, let me tell you something: the perfect moment DOES NOT exist. Launch your project NOW. Perfect it along the way. Get feedback. Evolve. But STOP waiting for the "right moment" because that moment will never come. In order to make you 52 episode, you need to make your first. So, thank you for those that watch the show and have been following. And thank you bitcoin magazine for allowing me to produce, host and publish BBS🧡🥹

The statue itself wants to give to the viewer this feeling of disappearance, and the sense that the inventor stays between the lines - as of today Satoshi exists in the lines of the bitcoin code, allowing humanity to have the first decentralized payment system. It represents an hacker in his stereotyped pose, sitting with the laptop on his legs, and is a tribute to all the developers and programmers around the world that helped building the bitcoin ecosystem, fighting for transparency and freedom. When the observer place himself behind the statue, he becomes Satoshi himself. Because “We are all Satoshi” - except one. Plan ₿ Forum - El Salvador Paolo Ardoino 🤖 Nayib Bukele

The silver lining is we can now stop talking about the Clarity Act and go back to opting out Laura: "In a way this makes the case for the cypherpunk ethos better than anything could. In a way this almost shows the case for self sovereignty. The fact that it even exists as an option is just still so amazing to me. The more time goes on, the way politics plays out just kind of shows the absurdity of that system. It's a persuasive tale for Bitcoin." "Maybe we can get a bit of a default back to the original ethos and the reason that we were all here. Because we've gotten caught up in this very strange, sort of bipolar situation where a lot of us got into Bitcoin because we didn't trust the government, and we didn't necessarily want to cheer for the biggest institutions, and we knew that fiscal and monetary policy were broken." "And then we found ourselves in this unfortunate position where we were sort of cheering for the very same institutions and the governments that were the machine we were raging against." "Maybe now we can go, Okay, I don't need to think about the Clarity Act anymore, the sun's still gonna come up tomorrow, and I can just go buy Bitcoin and forget about it." "I think the silver lining is that soon we'll be able to stop talking about the Clarity Act and we can just go back to opting out."

ANTHONY POMPLIANO IS SUPER BULLISH ON BITCOIN DURING THIS BEAR MARKET: "I own more Bitcoin today than I did before the drawdown and we've got a public company that they own more Bitcoin than we did before the drawdown." "Anyone who holds Bitcoin and doesn't think that it's gonna hit a new all-time high at some point the next two or three years then maybe they don't really understand what they own." "I actually think it's very important that we don't know who Satoshi is... I prefer not to know because I think that one of the strengths of Bitcoin is the fact that it is not associated with any one person." "We are ALL Satoshi?"

OG Barry Silbert believes #Bittensor has the potential to be bigger than #Bitcoin ⚫️ "When I think about ways that #Bitcoin could be improved upon.. I believe, is to utilize the incentive being paid to #Bitcoin miners to incent an activity beyond just securing the network" "So with #Bittensor, potentially, given that it is identical to #Bitcoin and that it was a fair launch, there was no VC funding or foundation or pre-mine, there was no airdrops, it's capped at 21 million, you have halvings.. it's just like #Bitcoin" "But the difference, and I think kind of the benefit, is the incentive used by #Bitcoin miners is instead being redirected to build out #Bittensor and to incent people to engage" "And from that perspective, there's no reason to believe that #Bittensor could not be as big or even bigger than #Bitcoin" Full #Bittensor documentary dropping October 29, 2025 👇 $TAO

Public Bitcoin Miners Are Going Extinct as AI Compute Takes Over "TeraWulf signs 19 billion lease with Anthropic for AI infrastructure campus, expects to bring 400 megawatts of computing power online by 2028" "It's $19 billion contract for 20 years, basically just to host AI infrastructure instead of Bitcoin mining infrastructure for a company that's entire market cap is $12 billion ... this one deal alone is bigger than all of TeraWulf" "So I believe we've seen 70 billion plus dollars in AI compute contracts for the artists formerly known as Bitcoin miners" "At the same time that these miners are wholesale moving over to AI, they're also now selling Bitcoin and have ceased to be holders" "And I really do think that public Bitcoin miners are largely going to become extinct. They're going to be AI compute centers that occasionally probably maybe decide to mine a little bit of Bitcoin"

This is the former President of PayPal talking about using #Bitcoin to make the $7.5 Trillion DAILY Foreign Exchange Market a much more efficient & profitable place. He is talking about building what Strike is building and compared the current monetary rails to a fax machine. I also completely agree with him that #Bitcoin will not be the currency people use to buy goods and services, however, it is a great settlement layer where you can have USD effectively on #Bitcoin rails and do immediate settlements. This is the best explanation of a corporate application of #Bitcoin being used as an invisible service layer that I've heard. If you think the corporates "don't get it" and only Twitter Anon's can "get it" - you're a moron. These people are smart and can catch up quickly with manpower. To put it into perspective, if 25% of the Daily Foreign Exchange market was on #Bitcoin rails it means $1.875 Trillion of daily consistent demand for #Bitcoin. That would equate to a $225 Trillion #Bitcoin Market Cap - assuming BofA's Bull Market Multiple is right. This means - just 25% of this market alone coming onto the #Bitcoin Rails would add $10.5m onto the price of #Bitcoin. Thanks for finding the video!

Should Strategy proactively sell Bitcoin now to protect shareholders later? Kaleo makes the case for selling, and gets pushback Kaleo: "Issuing MSTR is good here. If they were able to just unload a few billion dollars worth of Bitcoin and say the price didn't move way too much, we are being proactive. If they were able to sell that $1.25 billion of Bitcoin, that's bullish" "You're advocating for destroying shareholder value now to protect shareholder value in the future. Why would we be worried about Strategy being a forced seller if we're not worried about voluntarily selling now? That point I just don't get" Kaleo: "Where else is that 10 to 12 billion dollars coming from? They right now have talked about they are willing to sell the Bitcoin. If they sell some at a higher price, it eases a lot more of the concerns than if we get to 30k and we're in the same situation and they haven't sold any" "I can't get anyone to give me an answer on how much Bitcoin he can sell and why. You have no idea what would happen if he did that. What if he does it and Bitcoin goes to 30 and people are like we're done, he's out? You've destroyed more shareholder value than if Bitcoin just goes to 30, stays there 18 months, and he's forced to sell a couple billion. The most likely scenario is at some point in the next 12 months Bitcoin goes up enough that this isn't a problem"
