What if #AI became as decentralized as #Bitcoin? We sat down with our new friend 3700 from Bitcoin Virtual Machine to hear what their incredible team of anons are working on - "Truly Open AI." Full interview here:👇 1: What positive impact will Layer 2s have on Bitcoin? Layer 2s on Bitcoin open up opportunities for innovation, allowing developers to build dApps and smart contracts on top of Bitcoin, expanding its utility and use cases. By submitting transactions for final settlement on the Bitcoin network, Bitcoin Layer 2 networks claim to achieve the same (or close to) level of security and decentralization as the Bitcoin blockchain. Building a separate execution layer allows them the freedom to employ several technologies (such as rollups). Layer 2 can significantly improve Bitcoin's scalability by processing transactions off-chain, reducing congestion on the main blockchain. Overall, Layer 2s on Bitcoin have the potential to address some of Bitcoin's key limitations, making it more efficient, accessible, and versatile in the long run. 2: What does the ETF approval mean for Layer 2 on Bitcoin? The approval of ETF could potentially have several implications for Layer 2 on Bitcoin: Innovation and Development: With a growing interest in Bitcoin spurred by ETF approval, there could be a surge in research and development efforts focused on enhancing Layer 2. Developers and projects may be incentivized to create new and improved Layer 2 protocols to meet the evolving needs of the expanding Bitcoin ecosystem. An ETF approval could boost mainstream Bitcoin adoption and liquidity. This influx of users may also drive interest in Layer 2 on Bitcoin as a means to enhance the scalability and functionality of Bitcoin. 3: What are the primary challenges facing L2s on Bitcoin? The interoperability of different Layer 2s and their compatibility with Bitcoin's main blockchain can be a challenge. Ensuring seamless interaction between various Layer 2 networks and the Bitcoin blockchain is essential for a cohesive and efficient ecosystem. Some Layer 2s may introduce centralization risks if they rely heavily on centralized entities or trusted intermediaries. Maintaining decentralization and censorship resistance, which are core tenets of Bitcoin, while scaling with Layer 2s is a challenge. 4: What aspects of Layer 2 solutions for Bitcoin are you most enthusiastic about? AI represents one of the cornerstones of our modern era. However, achieving a decentralized AI infrastructure, owned and managed by users, has posed significant challenges. The primary obstacle has been the limited capacity to store and execute AI models due to size and computational limitations. To address this challenge, we propose a new blockchain architecture enabling developers to deploy their own Bitcoin Layer 2 solutions tailored specifically for AI tasks, called Truly Open AI. These Layer 2 blockchains are optimized to handle computationally intensive tasks, such as matrix multiplication, directly on-chain. These Bitcoin Layer 2 solutions offer exceptional throughput, minimal latency, and cost-effectiveness. AI dApps are programmed as Solidity smart contracts, ensuring they operate precisely as intended, free from interference or manipulation. Our BVM AI Contracts Library simplifies the integration of neural networks into dApps, empowering developers to embed AI seamlessly. In summary, I'm particularly enthusiastic about the potential of Layer 2 solutions for Bitcoin to revolutionize decentralized AI by providing scalability, security, and accessibility. 5: How is your Layer 2 different from others being built? BVM distinguishes itself as a Modular infrastructure that empowers thousands of distinct Bitcoin Layer 2 networks, spanning Gaming, DeFi, Social, and AI applications. We're continuously enriching the BVM Module Store with new modules to enhance its capabilities. With each new module, builders gain access to a wider array of tools to explore different use cases on the Bitcoin network. Recent additions include the Filecoin module for affordable storage and the AI Contracts Library for constructing AI-powered Bitcoin Layer 2 chains. We're also gearing up to release a ZK roll-up module in the coming weeks to offer an alternative to the standard optimistic roll-up. We aim to simplify the process of launching a Bitcoin Layer 2 network customized to specific requirements. Think of it as a SaaS offering with predefined best practices. Whether it's a DeFi Bitcoin Layer 2 or a GameFi Bitcoin Layer 2, we provide default solutions tailored to each use case. We're dedicated to expanding the BVM ecosystem by incentivizing more builders to join the Bitcoin network. Through various programs and grants, we support builders in covering their operational costs for Bitcoin Layer 2. Additionally, we offer rewards akin to 'L2 mining' to those who contribute to expanding the user base and total value locked on the network. In summary, BVM stands out with its modular infrastructure, tailored solutions, and efforts to grow the Bitcoin ecosystem.

THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY!!! Been working like a dog for a launch this week.. I'm trying to be compact here... bear with me: Let's wrap up the last 6 months. Since the first BTCHEL event last year, we have: • Upgraded the BTCHEL Hub from a temporary pop-up shop to a permanent and versatile physical space for local bitcoiners. You're welcome to check it out on Fridays when we have open doors and free entry! • Promoted Kaisu Hyvärinen, an experienced event producer as the company's COO and hired new talent; Rachel Geyer, the chairman of European Bitcoin Energy Association, to lead a new event we're launching. Welcome to our team, Rachel! • Raised a seed stage funding round of 100,000€ on a million-euro valuation for the company. We now have two prominent Finnish bitcoin mining companies on board around the year. Now, what's next for 2026? Today marks the 200-day countdown to this year's BTCHEL WEEK and thus we start to push the momentum for real. We launch a new, european wide bitcoin mining industry event similar to what they have in the US... it's about time we have our own in Europe. It's called the EUROPEAN MINING SUMMIT 2026 or EMS in short. EMS is the must-attend industry event for anyone with an interest in bitcoin mining in Europe. Miners, hardware manufacturers, hosts, pools, power plants and the whole energy sector. Our goal is to bring as much hashrate to Europe as possible. This has a tremendous impact for Europe's energy independence, abundance and decarbonisation. Now that we have our trademark industry event where we serve our corporate clients, we can now double down on HC cypherpunk and bitcoin pleb culture at BTCHEL2026. We are committed to staying true to the community ethos at the main event, so be prepared to see the most audacious and unapologetic bitcoin event in September. For BTCHEL, our vision is the actualization of the global Bitcoin Standard, and we are taking care of the Nordics by becoming the most influential Bitcoin media in our region. For that reason, we are sponsoring two other bitcoin conferences here this year: Bitcoin Copenhagen on March 21st and Bitcoin Symposium in Stockholm on April 24th. We want to show support to different initiatives accelerating the local bitcoin adoption in the Nordics with us. I know the market sentiment for bitcoin has not been the best lately, but I'm more bullish than ever. Bear with us through 2026 🧡

Bitcoin is money AND digital gold. The two are not mutually exclusive. For Michael Saylor - it's the purest form of digital credit. For David Marcus - it's the payment rails of the future. "No one cares what humans think about how people need to Bitcoin because it's an unopinionated, code-based money platform." The Lightspark founder is forging ahead with building Bitcoin-based payment rails, while Saylor and Strategy are doubling down on Bitcoin-backed financial products. "I'm really grateful that Michael is really focused on the store of value use case, and he can do that, and I can be the one focused on bringing utility to Bitcoin. Both things will actually help one another to make Bitcoin more relevant to many more people and that's the beauty of building on an open network," Marcus told Robert Baggs and me on our latest Chain Reaction show. Marcus has been keenly focused on abstracting complexity away from payments using Bitcoin payments infrastructure with the launch of Lightspark Grid. "It's like Bitcoin as a network being used to move all kinds of other money, whether it's stablecoin or fiat at the edges, and you don't even understand that you're using Bitcoin. For instance, if you're a SoFi client in the US, and you want to send money to Europe or India, Brazil or Mexico, you send dollars and the other person on the other side receives Mexican peso, you have no clue you're using Bitcoin. And it's like magical TCP/IP for money between payment systems in the world." Bitcoin infrastructure works. Like most widely adopted technologies, the average person has no idea what's going on under the hood. That is the future that takes Bitcoin global. And it's being built in real-time.

It's important I transparently put my hand up and acknowledge that I was wrong. Here is a clip from the video where I address that. This was the most demanded feature from Bitcoiners in the Global South. For many in these regions, TRON operates as a practical USD on/off ramp, just like ACH or wire transfers, helping them access #Bitcoin more efficiently. According to customers, by not supporting it, we were unintentionally hindering adoption and not competitive with others like Binance. At Strike, our mission is to empower people around the world with #Bitcoin. In many markets outside the US, EU, and UK, this is the USD ramp customers need to reach #Bitcoin. By adding this feature, we make Strike a more accessible tool for billions, bridging the gap between their local currency, USDT, and #Bitcoin. TRON is a shitcoin. But the reality is, stablecoins (Tether) are very important in these markets. USD is a shitcoin. GBP is a shitcoin. So this decision for us was more about our commitment to being customer-focused by providing on and off ramps that further #Bitcoin adoption. The goal will always be enabling customers to transition into #Bitcoin on their own terms. #Bitcoin is our focus. After talking with Bitcoiners globally, we're confident this step will help more people to join the revolution.

Bitcoin Mining Heat-Capture Season 2025: HeatHarvest / Proof-of-Growth, Purple Sweet Potatoes & Crawfish. vlog 1: Dry Run . We’re excited to launch the first of many Bitcoin Mining Heat-Capture Seasons. Each year, we’ll showcase a fresh set of projects that turns Bitcoin mining heat into real-world impact. For 2025, our focus is global food sustainability. Even now, many communities and regions lack reliable food security and access to modern financial tools. Bitcoin mining can help address both. By capturing miner heat, people can grow food locally while earning bitcoin and connecting to global commerce. Imagine a remote village with a short growing season but access to electricity or generators. With Bitcoin-heated cultivation, that community can extend the growing season indefinitely, feed itself, and use Bitcoin mining rewards to upgrade infrastructure, more reliable power, better facilities, and a higher quality of life. Also Bitcoiners are always wanting to be more self-sustaining, to know where their food comes from, and to avoid synthetic inputs common in industrial agriculture and commercial food supply chains. In Bitcoin we say, “Don’t trust, verify.” Apply it to food: grow it yourself and verify every input. “Proof-of-Work” your own food, no trust required, just quality, organic, self-sustaining harvests powered by Bitcoin heat. Throughout this season, we’ll share practical, open resources, designs, build guides, and results so anyone can adapt Bitcoin mining heat to their own goals. Follow along, grow with us, and let’s turn hashrate into harvest. Huge thanks to our sponsors for providing the tools, resources, and equipment that accelerated this season. Interested in sponsoring? There’s still time DM or email us. Together, we can address real-world problems with Bitcoin mining heat.

Bitcoin Study Sessions: Softwar: A Novel Theory on Power Projection and the National Strategic Significance of Bitcoin Chapter 1 - Introduction Join Grant and me as we walk through Jason Lowery's case for bitcoin as a power projection technology, and one that should be immediately adopted by the US as a strategic defense imperative. With a bill recently introduced by Senator Cynthia Lummis to create a strategic bitcoin reserve,... And Polymarket prediction markets showing > 50% chance Donald J. Trump will do just that... It's a great time to dig deep and ask some interesting questions! What if...being perfect money is the least interesting thing about bitcoin? What might resource battles in cyberspace look like? What does ancient chinese medicine have in common with the flying oddity of the Wright brothers? Feedback & questions encouraged & appreciated. We will monitor these posts and engage to raise the level of discourse surrounding this topic. Enjoy! Our next discussion will cover Chapter 2 and the Grounded Theory methodology.

Just watched Saifedean Ammous talk from Bitcoin 2025 and it’s worth your time. He takes on the idea that Tether is somehow bullish for the US dollar—and dismantles it. Even in the most optimistic scenario, where Tether grows 100x and buys massive amounts of Treasuries, the impact on US debt is tiny. But here’s where it gets interesting: Tether is stacking Bitcoin. Quietly, steadily. And over time, those Bitcoin reserves may outpace the dollar ones. If that happens, Tether doesn’t just stay pegged—it could revalue upward. A dollar-plus stablecoin, backed by Bitcoin, not Treasuries. His point? Tether isn’t rescuing the dollar. It might actually be helping the world move away from it. “The real risk to Tether isn’t volatility. It’s US default. And Bitcoin is the hedge.” If you want to understand the shifting dynamics between stablecoins, fiat debt, and Bitcoin—this talk lays it out clearly.

I built a wallet app that sends sBTC using bitcoin addresses instead of Stacks addresses. That's layer 2 sats sent from bitcoin address to bitcoin address in seconds for < $0.01 via the Stacks network: ✅Standard bitcoin addresses ✅Standard sign and broadcast semantics ✅Confirmation in seconds ✅Low fees ✅Self-custody ✅Bitcoin finality While this wallet is a prototype that works only with native Segwit addresses and requires or Leather - Grow your Bitcoin for transaction signing, Bitcoin addresses for sBTC (or all Stacks assets) could be adopted natively by any wallets. It doesn't require any changes to the Stacks core network. This address scheme could even be expanded so that fast, easy and cheap layer 2 BTC transactions could also work with legacy addresses. Here's how it works: Bitcoin legacy and native segwit addresses along with Stacks addresses all encode the so-called "hash160" of the user's public key. This means we can convert these two types of bitcoin addresses into a Stacks address and any Stacks address into either a legacy or native segwit bitcoin address. Using bitcoin addresses instead of Stacks addresses allows us to reuse many of the payment standards and QR code formats that have already been developed for bitcoin. It makes sBTC a true layer 2 bitcoin.
