Follow-up note from a bitcoiner I met in Columbus:
“Brother, it was a pleasure meeting you over the weekend. Not sure if you remember me, but I told you I came back next day after the long drive to chat. I had no idea who I was talking to and you spent time with me and valued me as a person. I appreciated that.”
One of the best parts of the nym thing is getting to meet people with little or no pretense. Talking to bitcoiners really fills up my tank and gives me what I need to stay engaged when the days are long or things get hard. 🧡

🚨🇦🇷 Milei chegou na ONU, pegou o microfone e falou o que bilhões de pessoas gritam no chuveiro, no trânsito e no grupo da família:
“Tornou-se uma organização INÚTIL, cujo único propósito é sustentar uma casta de PARASITAS profundamente arrogantes, que se fingem de burocratas bem-intencionados!” 🔥
A sala inteira congelou. Diplomata fingindo tossir. Tradutor quase pedindo aumento. Enquanto isso, o planeta inteiro, do motoboy em São Paulo ao taxista em Lagos, bateu palma invisível.
Porque, no fundo, todo mundo já sabia: a ONU virou um condomínio de luxo onde o síndico cobra taxa extra pra não resolver nada. Milei só teve a coragem de falar na cara deles o que o resto da humanidade murmura há décadas: “Vocês não salvam o mundo. Vocês só salvam o próprio cargo.”
Viva o desconforto. Às vezes a verdade precisa chegar de terno, cabelo bagunçado e sem filtro.

Developers just figured out a way to hide who sent bitcoin, who received it, and how much moved, without changing Bitcoin itself.
This new proposed idea is not a fork around the protocol or new cryptocurrency. This is how Bitcoin was designed, a base layer people can innovate on without asking permission.
On Thursday, researcher Misha Komarov and colleagues published Shielded Bitcoin, a Zcash-style shielded pool for Bitcoin’s base layer.
Encrypted notes and zero-knowledge proofs ride along in ordinary Bitcoin transactions. Separate software checks that no coins are created from nothing and none are spent twice.
There is no company running the pool, no sidechain, and no soft fork. Funds go in and out through cryptographic vaults Komarov has been building, called PIPEs, so no federation has to hold the bitcoin.
Miners do not enforce the privacy rules. Invalid shielded data can still land in a block, indexers simply ignore it.
The trade is: Bitcoin stays conservative, and the experiment lives on top of it. If it works, private transfers arrive the way most of Bitcoin’s best ideas have, not by rewriting the constitution, but by building on the settlement layer everyone already trusts.

They call the English a mongrel people... 🏴🇬🇧
The science says something better. 🧪👨🔬
In 2015 scientists in Oxford tested 2,039 people. Only people whose 4 grandparents were all born within 50 miles of each other. So the map they drew wasn't Britain today. It was Britain in 1885. Before anyone moved.
17 groups across these islands. 🗺️ Cornwall. Wales in pieces. The north. Scotland in pieces. Orkney. And the English were one. One people from Kent to Yorkshire. One group, where everywhere else on the map was many.
So where did they come from?
In 2022 they went to the graves. ⚱️ 278 people who died here 1,500 years ago. They read what was in them. 3 streams.
The Britons who were already here before the Romans. The families who crossed the North Sea after the Romans left. Whole families. As many women as men. Not a wipe-out. They married in. And a third stream from across the Channel, over centuries.
3 streams. 1 river. 🌊 By the Middle Ages the mixing had settled. The map of 1885 still showed it, 900 years on. Same fields. Same church. Same names on the gravestones.
That's not a mongrel. A mongrel is a mix nobody meant. This is a recipe. 3 ingredients. 1,000 years to set. 🏺
And here's the part that matters. A lineage isn't a wall. It's a line. People who kept the same place and the same ways, then handed them on. The Normans joined it. The Huguenots joined it. Anyone can. The price is keeping it.
They teach you the English are a mixture. So is every people on earth. What they don't teach you is what it became. 1,500 years on the same ground. Not many can say that.
That's why Proud Of Us is here. To teach the next generation who we really are. No sponsors. No ads. No agenda. Just people like you.
If you can, stand with us. If you can't, send this to someone who's never been told.
They said mongrel. That doesn't change a thousand years of lineage. It just means nobody told them.
Let's teach our next Generation the truth.👇

Leaks to the Times reveal that Labour is actively considering lowering the mansion tax threshold to £1.5m, more than doubling the number of homes affected.
Mark Pollack of London estate agents Aston Chase warned that reducing the levy to £1.5m would capture many families who would struggle to pay the surcharge.
“There is a real misconception that this would only impact the super-wealthy,” he said. “But in London there are many people living in homes worth over £1.5m who are only just staying above the surface. They’ve already got to cope with rising interest rates and energy costs and this could just be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.”
Lucian Cook of Savills noted that "people whose finances are stretched may find that they need to leave the property that they live in and are very emotionally attached to. That is one of the less palatable consequences."
Not only would this tax hike be a political disaster for Labour, it will also likely cause huge damage to the housing market.

Swiss Bitcoin Pay
A malicious user has likely gained access to Swiss Bitcoin Pay’s internal systems. As a precaution, we are temporarily shutting down our servers while we investigate and secure our infrastructure.
At this stage, we believe they may have accessed customer email addresses, Bitcoin addresses and IBANs, transaction history, and hashed passwords. It is not yet clear whether any other information was accessed.
User funds are safe, and any amounts owed to users will be fully returned.
We do not have a reopening date yet, but we are working as quickly as possible to secure everything properly.
We’ll be back stronger!

For 10,000 sats ($7.88), I just spun up 1PH of Bitcoin solo mining power through the @Braiins solo app they just launched.
I sent a small amount of BTC to the app, clicked two buttons, and now I'm mining.
Pretty awesome!
Now to cross my fingers that I hit a block 😂

Update your Elements node if you run a node.
Beware of phishing emails saying there are steps you must take to claim funds on @Liquid_BTC, or software to install.
The Liquid Federation is working on restoring safe operations and there are no actions needed on your part.
LIQUID NETWORK UPDATE: NEW RELEASE
Status as of September 9, 2026, 13:30 UTC
Update to Elements v23.3.4
The emergency Elements v23.3.4 release is now available. Functionary nodes are being updated immediately and we recommend all Liquid node runners do the same. This release addresses the proof-verification cache vulnerability, hardening the cache keys used for range proofs.
Elements v23.3.4 has undergone multiple rounds of internal and external review, including by the Bitcoin Red Team, Alpen Labs and others. Blockstream sincerely thanks these teams for their valuable review and collaboration.
Liquid Network Recovery Plan
The recovery plan remains under active development and may be revised as testing and validation continue. Based on current assessments, the anticipated stages are:
1) Resume block production while peg operations remain suspended.
2) Replay transactions verified as valid.
3) Resume peg operations once the network state has been fully restored including a return of funds.
Blockstream is testing the procedures for the first two stages in parallel. While the current plan anticipates proceeding in the order above, the sequencing and implementation may be adjusted based on the results. No stage will proceed until it is considered safe to advance.
Beware of Scams
There are reports of scammers attempting to exploit this situation by misleading users with fake update sites. This is a reminder to only rely on official Liquid Network and Blockstream channels, and never send funds or disclose private keys or seed phrases in response to unsolicited messages.
We again thank the broader Bitcoin community and our research collaborators for their continued support and assistance. Safely restoring normal operations remains the highest priority for the Liquid Federation and Blockstream.
