Is Saylorโs Bitcoin playbook still worth copying?
36%Yes, it works
29%No, it's done
36%Maybe, but

That evolution extends to @rootstock_io. Its Bitcoin-secured smart contract network has processed 21.6M+ transactions across 9.3M+ blocks. Bitcoin isn't just surviving; its utility is expanding beyond holding BTC to building financial applications on Bitcoin.

CRYPTO BUILDERS... Today at 3 PM EDT, we're hosting an open mic Space for crypto builders!
We'd love to hear what you're building or what someone you know is working on.
We'll ask three simple questions:
1) What are you building?
2) Who are you building it for?
3) How will you keep it sustainable? After all, someone has to pay the bills!

Stablecoins = Dollar Hegemony? Yes & also No
USDT reinforces dollar dominance. While Dollar-on-Chain strengthens BTC hegemony
This solution already accessible on BTCFi, on @rootstock_io with @moneyonchainok.
So donโt strengthen dollar hegemony by sidelining Bitcoin-stablecoins

If this was a black African girl step-dancing in ๐ฎ๐ชIreland, Irish people would never call her a "daughter of the soil." One of the most infuriating things about black Africans is how welcoming & open we are to people who would never return that same warmth.
Account abstraction can make Rootstock transactions feel less like managing keys and more like using an app. Programmable wallets can enable gas sponsorship, batched actions and custom spending rules, reducing friction for everyday Bitcoin finance.
Account abstraction lands on Rootstock with Cardamom.

Before you start signing, hereโs the one thing @SDLerner and Shreemoy want you to know,
30-second blocks mean Rootstock can process activity in parallel with Bitcoinโs 10-minute block cycle. Thatโs 20 Rootstock blocks per Bitcoin block, enabling faster confirmations and more responsive BTCFi applications.
What if a smart contract could come with verifiable proof of how it was deployed? ๐
Thatโs one use case for @rootstock_io Attestations.
Instead of relying only on claims, developers can create on-chain records that others can independently inspect.
Letโs break it down.
It goes beyond deployment records.
Attestations can also support claims about contract verification or token transfers.
Applications can then use this information to build richer verification flows instead of treating every claim as equally trustworthy.
Imagine deploying a DeFi protocol on Rootstock.
You could create an attestation recording details like the contract address, deployer and transaction.
That gives users and other developers a way to check the deployment record on-chain.

No one can convince me that black South Africans don't have the lowest average IQ on the continent.
Perhaps we blamed the Boers too harshly for apartheid. How can you coexist with such individuals?
So @Rootstock_io just shared a number worth a look: 43% of DeFi TVL across Bitcoin sidechains sits on Rootstock, per DefiLlama as of Oct 21.
That's more than any other single Bitcoin sidechain. The other 57% is split between all of them.
Their explanation is longevity. Rootstock has been live since 2018 and says it has had 100% uptime. It's secured by Bitcoin's proof of work through merged mining.
In DeFi, people tend to put money where nothing has broken yet.

Before you start signing, hereโs the one thing @SDLerner and Shreemoy want you to know,
LABITCONF brings together 300 international speakers and has drawn 10,000 attendees. ๐ฆ๐ท For @rootstock_io, itโs an opportunity to showcase Bitcoin-native DeFi, connect with developers, and show how Bitcoin can power financial applications beyond payments.
Bitcoinโs block subsidy fell from 25 BTC in 2012 to 3.125 BTC in 2024. Yet at each halvingโs approximate BTC price, the new block subsidy was worth $309, $8,137, $53,569 and $199,500, respectively. Fewer coins, vastly higher dollar value.
Fiat supply is decided in meetings. Bitcoinโs was decided in 2009.
Every 210,000 blocks, the reward miners earn for a new block is cut in half. The next cut is in 2028, and everyone already knows the number: 1.5625 bitcoin:native.
Over 20 million of the 21 million bitcoin are already mined.
The last fraction wonโt be mined until around 2140.
