KALT MAT Ég er frá Íslandi - Rússland er ekki óvinur minn. Óvinir mínir eru SÞ, NATO, ESB, WEF og WHO ásamt öðrum alþjóðastofnunum og meginstraumsmiðlum - ekki Rússland!

USDT is coming to Bitcoin and people are celebrating. You're cheering for the dollar to colonize the hardest money ever created. Bitcoin wasn't built to carry your fiat. It was built to end it.

A word from our Founder on the Blink, Blockstream & ColdCard hackings:
ColdCard & Blockstream can learn from how Blink handles the difficult side of Bitcoin. Just kinda “got it done” meanwhile: ColdCard is retweeting nonsense while Blockstream/Liquid are making silly videos as their users are not close to whole…🚩 Blink being world class is🌟

I’m never using Liquid again. And as long as the leaders are doing this while their users are suffering, neither should you.

Replying to @grok
@grok Imagine a bank offers a vault product: 1) You deposit 100 ounces of gold into a six-month vault, and the bank promises to pay you a 3% annual yield, in gold, paid weekly. 2) To open the vault, you must also purchase a 5-ounce admission ticket issued by the bank. After buying you must also lock tickets as well for 6 months. 3) You can withdraw (1) anytime, but (2) stays locked until expiration. 4) The bank does not own a gold mine. Instead, every ten minutes, it prints new admission tickets and auctions them off for gold. 5) The gold collected from these auctions is what funds the 3% yield from point (1). 6) The bank inflates the supply of tickets by 3.5-4% annually, of course it can change this anytime. Would you recommend investing in this vault product?

This is accountability. 🧡
Every account affected by the September 19 incident has been made whole. We restored each account to its exact pre-incident balance. Affected users were notified directly before this post. Thank you to our mission-aligned shareholders who stepped in.

One Bitcoin workshop in Malawi drew 55 students, the next drew 263. @BitcoinBoma ran two free three-day programs at Malawi universities this month, sponsored by @TrezorAcademy, and the University of Malawi turnout was high. The project is run by @GrantGombwa3 alongside co-founders @TwymanNicholas and @Ianfost. Free, beginner-friendly, taught by Malawians, with certificates for anyone who finishes and a free 10-week @MyFirstBitcoin_ diploma for those who want more. Graduates have already helped merchants in Mulanje accept Lightning. Malawi devalued its currency 44% in 2023. Bitcoin Boma teaches people the alternatives. Full story in the comments 👇

Important Reading 🍊🧡🌟
One thing we underestimate with authoritarian regimes is how they kill social initiatives. They methodically destroy a society's capacity to govern itself. Because a community that organises independently, that solves its own problems, that builds trust and takes initiative without asking permission, is a community that can also contest power. And that is the one thing an authoritarian regime cannot tolerate. So it does not just repress dissent. It makes dissent structurally impossible by making cooperation structurally impossible. It turns neighbours into suspects and makes every independent initiative a potential threat by ensuring that the only entity permitted to solve problems is the one creating them. The result is not just bad governance. It is often a society that has forgotten how to act together. And a people that cannot act together cannot remove those who have made them this way.

Liquid users are still not whole as the L-BTC is still only 85% backed by Bitcoin. But the people responsible have time to make silly videos and play narrative games. 👀🧡⚖️

Bitcoin threatened the state’s most foundational power: the money printer. The only sane starting point is therefore that state intelligence would spend huge resources trying to capture, dilute, and gimp it.

Well done to Blink for making good on their users 🍊🧡🌟 Meanwhile Liquid & ColdCard 👀🧡⚖️

Making some progress on Operation Restore NVK. We're probably at 15-20% or so.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and make a wild prediction: NVK will be forcefully (and ultimately successfully) rehabilitated to his position of influence. Bitcoin won't even be able to flush NVK/Coinkite down the toilet.

The BlackRock-Strategy Security Consortium in two years… “We’ve identified the 21M cap as a threat to Bitcoin security”

The BlackRock-Strategy Security Consortium in two years… “We’ve identified the 21M cap as a threat to Bitcoin security”
BlackRock flagged Bitcoin miners as a risk factor in IBIT's 10-K. The filing says lower block rewards "could result in less of an incentive for miners," which puts network security in question. Every halving cuts the subsidy that pays for Bitcoin's security. The operators still running afterward are the ones whose power costs work at the smaller reward, so hashrate ends up wherever energy is cheap and reliable. An IBIT share tracks the price of Bitcoin and adds nothing to the hashrate protecting it. A hosted miner adds hashrate and sends the Bitcoin it produces to a wallet its owner controls. We run 4+ EH/s across 9 owned Iowa sites at 95%+ uptime, on power rates we locked in before the last halving. BlackRock's lawyers are asking who keeps hashing when the reward shrinks again. We've planned the business around that question since 2021.

A rural shop owner in Burundi listened to a demo, then asked one question: can my son in Tanzania send me money with this? The answer was yes. Instantly, near-zero cost, no walking hours to town, no agent fees. The tool is @rurbit, a USSD Bitcoin gateway built by @young2_go, a computer science student who started with a @blinkbtc API key and one question: what does Bitcoin look like for a farmer who has never owned a smartphone? Dial a code on any basic phone, no internet, no app. Send and receive sats over Lightning, top up airtime, pay bills, cash out through local agents. A Kirundi AI educator teaches first-timers as they transact. By June, 100 people were using it. @Machankura8333 showed it was possible. Rurbit is building on that blueprint.
