Very important! Decentralized Public Permissionless Networks and their native token have no CEO, no issuer and no counterparty. As Chris Larsen a decade ago describes, this in itself is the core value of Bitcoin, XRP and other math based currencies. This never existed before.

Ansem explains why zcash:native should trade at a much higher ratio to bitcoin:native "Zcash has a lot of the same features as Bitcoin, but it's quantum-resistant and it's private. A lot of the core believers who were early to Bitcoin were also early to Zcash" "When a ton of smart people work on a really hard technological problem, solve it, and the only thing missing is attention, those are typically the best trades" "Zcash should benefit from Bitcoin doing well, and it should be at a much higher ratio to Bitcoin than it currently is"

CORE PIVOTS TO REVENUE AND BUYBACKS IN 2026 BTCFI ROADMAP Core DAO 🔶's 2026 roadmap centers on a single objective: drive revenue from the BTCFi ecosystem directly into $CORE buybacks. The shift moves Core away from inflation-funded emissions toward token value capture from real Bitcoin yield activity. Key pillars include SatPay (Bitcoin neobank), Asset Management Protocols, expanded LSTs, Dual Staking markets, and ETF/DAT integrations. Each module routes a slice of revenue back into $CORE. With Core now secured by 90% of $BTC's hashrate, the bet is that BTCFi finally has a value-accrual model that doesn't depend on speculation.

Introducing version control in the Bitcoin Node app on umbrelOS. Automatically switch to the latest available version of Bitcoin Core each time you update the app for the latest security fixes and bleeding edge features. Or stick to a specific version for rock-solid reliability. Your Bitcoin Node app will continue to receive updates from the Umbrel App Store independently. And your Bitcoin Core version selection stays put until you change it.
