Competence and execution is what matters when building in crypto, not ideology @Chainflip, an EVM-focused team, have built one of the best BTC multisig/vault systems I've ever seen @Boltzhq, a Bitcoin-focused team, have written some of the best Solidity contracts I've ever read

Might be cocky, but bitcoin++ events are the highest signal bitcoin events. We go around the world & bring together the top technical researchers, developers and advocates in the space that share their insights. Oh and we stream and upload it all for free online.

One of the dumbest fallacies is people thinking their coin is gonna win if only Bitcoin dies, like zec people fudding Bitcoin over quantum. It’s precisely the opposite. If Bitcoin dies, no one will ever trust internet money ever again. ALL coins ride on bitcoins coattails

You are living in a bubble within a bubble if you think this is a valid take. No one outside of your bubble cares about v30. The price dip has nothing to do with it, just as the inevitable future ATH will have nothing to do with it. Temu Mike Hearns everywhere.
bitcoin was on its way to become the largest asset on earth until a bunch of developers decided it should be an art gallery instead

Top Mysteries of the Universe: 1. What is @VibeCapitalMgmt ? 2. How to get in contact with @Zone21BTC ? 3. What is @JeremyRubin building with Char Network ? 4. What is @rot13maxi building at TW ? 5. What are custodial lenders doing with your bitcoin?

Hopefully we can do a demo later today of a complex Bitcoin transaction (e.g. multisig, high change index, multi-input, multi-output) If I'm right, @Keycard_ could massively reduce the cost of setting up an airgapped multisig wallet, as the cards are quite affordable (~$20 each)

I've been saying this for ages Bitcoin is not political Or rather, it is for every political leaning If you're left, right, center, libertarian, socialist, whatever -- you will eventually justify why bitcoin fits your political views And you will be happy
Just out on Forbes: “Bitcoin is apolitical money that people from all across the spectrum, from different cultures or political leanings will all be buying Bitcoin.” 🟧 - Blockstream CEO Adam Back

Nice panel on global stablecoin adoption with @nlevine19 @LucaProsperi @prabalbanerjee @jacqmelinek Main takeaway: stablecoins started out as a retail product, which is changing. Increasingly, they're being used by financial institutions as an invisible middle layer. #DuneCon25

Looking forward to #DuneCon25! I work at @rise_pay where we help people pay and get paid how they like -- whether fiat, stablecoins, or crypto. Keen to talk about wallets, block explorers, bitcoin, L2s, and what sets Rise apart in the payroll space.

Law of candor. One of my favorite marketing tactics. "when you admit a negative, the prospect will give you a positive." It's risky but great when done right.

Just three guys that have zero knowledge why any self-professed maximalist wouldn't want a scalable trust-minimized rollup on Bitcoin Study @citrea_xyz

Bitcoin is like golf. 99% pain, 1% glory. The glory is short lived, then it’s back to pain.

Buenos Aires is nice! It's like a mini version of São Paulo mixed with Asunción. Could definitely see myself living here

Successfully infiltrated @EFDevcon I can see in the sullen eyes and furrowed brows of EVM developers a silent yearning for the UTXO They can be free if they are shown the way

Stay away from @useTria They caught my attention earlier this month because they support mainnet BTC + sidechains like @BitlayerLabs & @MerlinLayer2 I paid for a card, then got blocked at KYC because their @sumsub integration is broken No reply to support tickets, no refunds

@BTCtoOblivion @BitcoinMagazine @brian_trollz @christinenews @BitcoinConfEUR @BitBoxSwiss I generally don't feel insulted if said insult comes from a nobody with little to no achievements.

Trying to 'fix spam' with BIP444 is misguided: this fork is slow, costly, coordination-heavy & easy to evade, while spammers adapt instantly. The fork would launch obsolete on day 1, worsen Bitcoin for real users, and trap supporters in an endless, unwinnable cat-and-mouse game.
