This is one of those pivotal moments - everything looks bearish, but RSI is flipping and getting a 64k bitcoin is going to look genius a year from now

COINS NEWS

The price action and headlines have been pretty rough lately. Geopolitics, some ETF flows going the other way for a bit, and BTC just sitting lower after coming off higher levels. It’s easy to see why a lot of people are cautious or outright bearish on the near term. What’s interesting though is the RSI on the daily. It’s been moving with price lower but now looks like it’s starting to curl back up. Not screaming reversal yet, but the momentum is shifting off those lower levels in a way that’s caught my eye. I’ve seen setups like this enough times to know they usually feel the worst right when the early signs show up. The core reasons I’m still bullish on Bitcoin long term haven’t changed. Institutional access through ETFs is still there, adoption keeps creeping forward, and we’re still dealing with the supply side from previous halvings. Buying more in the low 60s feels like one of those spots that could look pretty good twelve months from now when we’re looking back. I’m personally adding on these dips instead of waiting for everything to line up perfectly. Could still chop or retest support, that’s always possible. But sitting in cash waiting for the all-clear has cost me opportunities before.What are you guys seeing with the RSI or your own setups right now? Adding, holding, or waiting for more confirmation? submitted by /u/FreedomFund_Goatechs [link] [comments]

In 10 years, the hardest part of Bitcoin will not be buying it. It will be explaining why you didn’t.

COINS NEWS

The hardest part of Bitcoin isn't buying it. It's surviving the moment you were right too early. Everyone wants to buy Bitcoin when the future looks obvious. That is the problem. The greatest opportunities in every cycle usually appear when the evidence is still incomplete, the chart looks ugly, and the majority has a reasonable explanation for why waiting is smarter. Human beings are not bad at recognizing value. We are bad at recognizing value before consensus approves it. The market is not designed to test your intelligence. It tests your patience, your conviction, and your ability to act without emotional permission. Maybe the biggest mistake isn't buying too early. Maybe it's waiting until nobody can convince you anymore that you're wrong. Ten years from now, what do you think people will regret more: buying Bitcoin too early, or never buying because they were waiting for the perfect moment? submitted by /u/No-Net3991 [link] [comments]

Bitcoin benefits no matter what happens

COINS NEWS

Every bitcoin commentator on the internet seems to look at their own local news events and claim these events are somehow good or bad for bitcoins price. From western countries and their local tax policy moves, to conflict in eastern europe or the middle east, to local policy decisions in asia. But bitcoin is so much larger than any localised narratives, bitcoin is not a local stock market. All that news is nothing but noise. Bitcoin only cares about aggregate liquidty, and when it comes to aggregate liquidity only one question matters, when the next global "event" hits will global central banks keep rates high and allow a recession to take hold or will they drop rates and stimulate the global economy with money printing? The answer is simple, since 2008 the worlds central banks and governments have proven unequivocally that their only response to any macro event or crisis will be to cut rates and stimulate because the alternative would smash the global financial system. The next time central banks and governments face a global crisis they will cut rates and stimulate, and thats all we need to know because easy money policy is what fuels bitcoins adoption and exponential price growth. So many commentators are expecting a business cycle recession that will crash markets but since 2008 global central bank policy has been stimulus at all costs to protect the traditional financial system. Central banks wont allow a global recession, at the first sign of any recession or crisis they will stimulate and that means scarce assets will be the best protection from easy money policy. So forget the local news headlines, ignore any talk of a recession, and just understand that bitcoin will benefit from easy money policy during any potential global crisis. submitted by /u/slvbtc [link] [comments]

first etherealize and ethereum community foundation. then ethlabs. now ethereum institutional. wth is going on?

COINS NEWS

i produced an explainer on the new wave of ethereum-aligned organizations splintering off from the ethereum foundation: etherealize, the ethereum community foundation, and ETHLabs, launching on june 22nd with five senior EF researchers and significant institutional backing the day after ETHLabs, the EF announced it was cutting 20% of its workforce ???? it's been a chaotic, turbulent time within the ethereum ecosystem, and i wanted to document my thoughts on why this is happening now and what that could mean for the future of ethereum. lo and behold, as i was finishing production, yet another independent organization founded by ex-EF team members spawned: ethereum institutional. the story literally outran the edit/production ???? the evidence points both directions: vitalik was writing about distributing the protocol's brain trust across multiple orgs back in 2017. but you can also read this moment as a centre shrinking faster than what the ecosystem is ready to absorb. video: https://youtu.be/sF3NlQBIQDE genuine question for anyone closer to the research side: is coordination between these orgs actually happening anywhere visible? shared calls, forums, roadmap alignment? ----------- if we're meeting for the first time — hi ???? i built this channel to spread the good word on good work in crypto. a like, a comment, and a sub on my channel goes a long way to supporting my work :) submitted by /u/haochizzle [link] [comments]

The ethics provision is not in the CLARITY Act: Expect significant downward pressure on crypto in the coming weeks once the new draft of the legislation is released this week

COINS NEWS

While we all knew this thing had no chance of passing, it seems like the market players were holding out hope. Now that it will be outright rejected by democrats with no real opportunity to re-draft before the August recess, everyone will come to the same conclusion that its dead. because not everyone realized this, and because institutional investors are as knee-jerk as retail investors, expect them all to pull away more than they have been in the previous year. Source: Various news outlets who spoke to senators responsible for drafting the new version have reported the ethics provision is NOT among the new 70 pages. Democrats have already said in no uncertain terms, no ethics provision, no vote. https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/ethics-standoff-clouds-clarity-act-130725334.html submitted by /u/Ill-Square-1123 [link] [comments]

Singularity Future Technology ($SGLY): FAQ for Getting Payment on the $3M Settlement over Crypto Business Claims

COINS NEWS

Hey guys, I posted about this settlement before, but since they’re accepting late claims, I decided to share it again with a little FAQ. So here's all I know about this agreement: What happened? Singularity Future Technology was accused of misleading investors about its shift from a logistics company into a crypto hardware business, including claims about mining equipment, partnerships, and business operations. After reports questioned these claims, $SGLY dropped more than 90%, and investors filed a lawsuit. Now the company has agreed to settle $3 million with investors for their losses. Who can claim this settlement? If you bought $SGLY shares between 2021 and 2023, you may be eligible to participate, even if you sold your shares How long does the payout process take? It typically takes 4 to 9 months after the claim deadline for payouts to be processed, depending on the court and settlement administration. Hope this info helps submitted by /u/JuniorCharge4571 [link] [comments]

Academic survey: How do informed actors evaluate a fixed money supply? [Master's research]

COINS NEWS

Hi all, I'm conducting research for my Master's thesis on whether a fixed, algorithmically-determined money supply could function as a viable monetary system. The research examines the trade-offs between rule-based credibility (H1) and macroeconomic risks (deflation, financial stability, policy flexibility). I'm looking for respondents with economic or finance background to complete a 10 minute survey that assesses: Whether algorithmic rule-binding increases monetary credibility Deflation mechanics in a fixed-money-supply economy Crisis stabilization mechanisms (or lack thereof) Overall viability as a practical alternative to Fiat systems The survey is anonymous, GDPR-compliant, and will contribute to the broader academic debate about alternative monetary architectures. If you have professional experience in economics, finance, or related fields and are interested in this question—your informed perspective would be valuable. → Survey: https://www.soscisurvey.de/MA544116/ Im aware that this is not necessarily the optimal place to look for answers, but it should be neutral regardless. Thank you! submitted by /u/Sensitive-Stage1776 [link] [comments]

What is your actual strategy for taking profits when legacy banks flag everything?

COINS NEWS

Making successful trades on the charts is only half the battle nowadays. The real headache is the off-ramp logistics. It feels like traditional commercial banks have completely tightened their compliance algorithms lately, and trying to pull a decent chunk of money out of an exchange is a fast track to getting your account frozen or hit with endless source of funds requests. I am honestly considering shifting away from digital wires entirely for my profit-taking strategy. I was looking into alternative cash settlement networks where you swap your assets and they just have a courier bring physical paper cash straight to your door or send it via mail. Bypassing the banking system entirely sounds like a perfect solution for privacy, but I am super skeptical about how it plays out in real life. If a courier turns up on your porch with an envelope of paper bills, how do you even verify everything is totally legit before they walk away? Has anyone here actually tried a physical cash delivery method to protect their trading profits from bank lockdowns, or is the physical security aspect way too risky to mess with compared to traditional methods? submitted by /u/Vane1st [link] [comments]

How does this bear market stack up to cycles prior?

History Suggests the End of the Bear Market by EOY 2026

COINS NEWS

We are now 252 days into the Bear Market. I will cut to the chase and let you guys know how this conclusion was drawn. For this, I analyzed the past 7 bear markets in the last 10 years (including this one), and studied how long it takes for the current price of BTC to exceed the 200D moving average during bear markets (this is the signal for the end of the bear market). From each bear market’s market bottom, it historically takes 65 to 166 days for BTC to recover. Our last bottom was $58K back on June 30, 2026. Assuming BTC doesn't crash any lower than $58K in this bear cycle, at an average between 65 and 166 days, the end of the bear market would be November 5, 2026. At the longest recorded recovery time of 166 days, the end would be December 26, 2026. While past performance is not indicative of future performance, current data also shows that this bear market is not that bad relatively speaking, as compared to previous bears such as the most recent 2022 FTX crash where BTC declined 76.7% from its highs compared to our current bear market where BTC only declined 51.2% from its highs.

Will quantum computing’s advancement make bitcoin obsolete?

COINS NEWS

Hey guys, I’m not a crypto guy. I’m all about the stock market and other forms of “investing” but I am knowledgeable enough on the subject as crypto is the reason my brother bought a house lmfao. Here’s the thing, I know bitcoin uses hashing such as SHA-256 and it uses the signature system ECDSA (correct me if I’m wrong). Some may argue that quantum’s increasing power (through the years) is will make breaking the hash easier, but idk how long it’ll be before it’s near instant. However, wouldn’t the private keys be the real issue? I talk to my brother about this but his cope is crypto will develop stronger hashes with time. But wouldn’t that leave existing cryptocurrencies in shambles as time passes? I’m no expert, but wouldn’t the advancement of these technologies make Bitcoin obsolete later on? I appreciate all opinions just insightful. I find this a bit fascinating for someone who doesn’t invest in Crypto lol. submitted by /u/69philosopher [link] [comments]

bought 0.1 BTC in 2013, lost access to my wallet, and just found it on an old laptop

COINS NEWS

Three days ago, I was clearing out my garage and found an old Toshiba laptop from college. I almost tossed it, but for some reason decided to boot it up. After 20 minutes of watching that Windows Vista loading circle, I noticed a folder labeled 'Important Stuff' with a text document inside. The document contained what I now know is a private key for a Bitcoin wallet, along with a note I'd written to myself: 'Don't lose this $100 worth of magic internet money.' At first, I didn't think much of it. But something made me download Electrum and import that key. When the blockchain finished syncing and I saw the balance, my hands started shaking. It's still there. All 0.1 BTC. At today's prices, that's over $6k. But here's the thing, I can't move it. Why? I'm starting to think there's something wrong with the key format or maybe the wallet structure has changed too much since 2013. Has anyone ever experienced this? The irony is killing me, I find my lost treasure only to discover I can't open the chest. DMs are open if you've got a brain that works. submitted by /u/Spirited-Birthday-20 [link] [comments]

France's Conseil d'État to review first legal challenge to DAC8, the EU's crypto-asset tax-reporting Directive

COINS NEWS

On February 24, 2026, Bitcoin exchange Bull Bitcoin filed a petition with France's Conseil d'État, the country's highest administrative court, seeking to annul Decree No. 2025-1276, France's implementation of the EU's DAC8 directive. What DAC8 actually requires DAC8 (Directive (EU) 2023/2226, adopted by the EU Council in 2023) took effect January 1, 2026. It requires "crypto-asset service providers", the exchanges most Bitcoin holders use to buy, sell, or cash out, to collect each customer's identity and transaction history and report it annually to their national tax authority. That data is then automatically exchanged with tax authorities in other EU member states, and eventually with non-EU countries that adopt the OECD's parallel Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF). Worth being precise here: DAC8 does not regulate self-custody or on-chain activity directly. It's a reporting obligation on regulated exchanges. But if you've ever bought or sold Bitcoin through an EU-licensed exchange, your identity is now tied, inside a government database, to your transaction history. Key dates DAC8 in force: January 1, 2026 French decree signed: December 19, 2025 (Décret n° 2025-1276) Summary petition filed: February 24, 2026, followed by a more detailed legal brief First reports (covering 2026 activity) due: before September 30, 2027, after which automatic cross-border data exchange begins The legal argument Bull Bitcoin's case rests on Article 52 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, arguing that blanket, suspicionless collection of financial data fails the necessity-and-proportionality test. One procedural limit worth flagging: the Conseil d'État can only annul the French decree, not the EU directive itself — though it could refer a question to the Court of Justice of the European Union if it finds a genuine EU-law interpretation issue. Bull Bitcoin has said it's prepared to escalate to the CJEU and France's Constitutional Council if this fails. The physical-security angle The petition also raises a safety argument. France's Interior Minister, Laurent Nuñez, said on June 30, 2026, that authorities have recorded 77 cases of kidnapping, extortion, or attempted extortion linked to the crypto sector since the start of 2026, up from 45 for all of 2025. That count comes from the ministry itself, independent of Bull Bitcoin's filing. Bull Bitcoin argues that centralizing identity-linked financial data raises the odds that a future breach could help criminals locate holders; that specific causal chain hasn't been established by French authorities, so treat it as the plaintiff's argument, not a proven fact. What to watch next A ruling on the merits isn't expected for one to two years. Worth watching: whether the Conseil d'État refers the case to the CJEU, and whether other EU member states see similar challenges filed. This is the first formal legal test of DAC8 anywhere in the EU, so the outcome (however far off) will matter well beyond France.

Swap XRP for what for retirement?

COINS NEWS

Got into crypto recently and opened an IRA through iTrustCapital and started filling a cold wallet with XRP. I have probably 5,000 shares of XRP and $2000 split between SOL, LINK, HBAR, ETH, BTC, XLM, and flare. The more I read this sub the more XRP sounds like a scam. My average cost is $1.62, should I hold and hope it reclaims ATH after a catalyst like the clarity act or dump it now? I'm holding for long term growth/retirement, and I don't understand this field enough to know what to invest in long term. XRP has lots of utility so I thought it'd be good, but BTC and ETH seem better despite btc having no real world use case and ETH being outdated. Any advice? Is there a real argument for btc and eth growing over the coming decades? EDIT: I've seen enough people tell me to do my research, I will no longer engage in comments pointing out my errors without offering any explanation or assistance. You people help give crypto a bad name, this sub has been very unhelpful to someone starting out. I think I will call my local representative and senator and voice my concerns for the crypto market and advocate for its heavy regulation. submitted by /u/Ok-Scientist-391 [link] [comments]

Instead of creators only promoting an existing market, they would define the question through a structured template, provide the required parameters, and attach a clear resolution source. The platform would standardise the rules and settlement process. The difficult part is trust. A creator may understand the topic and already have an audience, but they may also have incentives to frame the market unfairly. What controls would you expect before participating in a creator-made market—creator deposits, public resolution criteria, dispute periods, reputation scores, or something else? submitted by /u/Actual-Ad2198 [link] [comments]

Solo mining needed more dopamine between blocks, so I built Steam-style achievements into my pool

COINS NEWS

Solo mining is a lottery. Statistically most of us will never hit a block, and the actual fun lives in the moments nobody celebrates: your best share ever, the near miss at 2 AM that was 90% of a block, surviving your first year of mining. So I shipped an achievements system for miners on my pool: 26 badges computed live from your real mining stats. Nothing to sign up for, no account, your payout address just earns them by mining. Best-share ladder from Copper to Obsidian, near-miss badges for the heartbreakers, block finder tiers, luck badges (block under 10% effort), loyalty and fleet milestones. https://preview.redd.it/hlpuc2zqftch1.png?width=1324&format=png&auto=webp&s=f7d73da3578280899cde5101ede8f39f28fc1b42 Check it out here: https://mkpool.com/btc/address/bc1q8exwdf3ex8htykd0nzmqpansf2j4qv7c7mqswr/achievements The detail I'm most happy with: Steam-style rarity on every badge. "5% of miners have this" next to Golden Nonce hits different when you're one of them. Nobody holds the top share tier yet on any coin. Every unlock has a live share card you can drop in a forum signature or paste in Discord/Telegram and it unfurls with your actual stats. Feedback welcome, especially ideas for achievements that don't need any signup to work. Everything is computed from public pool stats. submitted by /u/Mecanik1337 [link] [comments]

I put sats under beer caps. Your feedback led to an alcohol-free version.

COINS NEWS

Hi r/Bitcoin, A few months ago I shared a slightly unusual experiment here: beer with sats hidden under every cap. I’m Altan from Beer of Satoshi. The idea was to make someone’s first Lightning interaction as simple as opening a bottle. You scan the QR code under the cap, reveal the reward in your browser, and claim the sats with a Lightning wallet. The response to the first post was much bigger than I expected, but the comments were more valuable than the attention itself. Some people loved the concept. Others were very direct about its weaknesses. The first Genesis batch was expensive at roughly €7 per bottle. And for people who did not drink alcohol, the product simply was not an option. One comment in particular stayed with me: “I like the idea, but I don’t drink alcohol.” That was a fair point. If the goal is to give more people a simple first Bitcoin experience, alcohol should not be a requirement. We had already produced a small alcohol-free test batch for Bitcoin Amsterdam 2025. It sold out, but the more interesting part was watching what happened after people opened the bottles. They scanned the caps, compared their rewards, helped each other with Lightning wallets, and made claims right there at the event. That convinced us to turn the test batch into a proper release. It is called Beer of Satoshi Zero. Zero is alcohol-free, but the Bitcoin experience under the cap stays the same. Every bottle reveals a sats reward in the browser, which can then be claimed over Lightning. No account is required, and you do not need a wallet just to reveal the amount. You only need one when you actually want to claim the sats. We also worked on the price. The 24-pack pre-order is €70.80, which comes to €2.95 per bottle. Smaller packs are available as well. This is a pre-order rather than ready stock, and the first shipments are planned for Q1 2027. Since the original Reddit thread, the public leaderboard has grown to 1,780 claims from 767 users, with 470,228 sats distributed. Those are still small numbers in the wider Bitcoin world, but they are enough to show why the concept can work. Telling someone to install a Lightning wallet because Bitcoin is interesting often creates friction. Showing them that sats are already waiting under a cap gives them a concrete reason to take the next step. That moment — when Bitcoin changes from something a person has only heard about into something they have actually received — is still the reason we are building this. Here is the original discussion: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1p4oili/beer_of_satoshi_my_experiment_to_get_real_people/ Beer of Satoshi Zero: https://shop.beerofsatoshi.com/products/beer-of-satoshi-zero Public claim leaderboard: https://leaderboard.beerofsatoshi.com The feedback on the first post genuinely changed the product. So before we finalise the production run, I would like to ask the community again: What would you improve about the first-time scan-and-claim experience? Cheers, Altan submitted by /u/realmeh [link] [comments]

Best Way to Buy and Store Bitcoin in Canada?

COINS NEWS

Hey everyone, I’m in Canada and I’m planning to buy and hold Bitcoin for the long term. I’m looking for the best hardware (cold) wallet that’s secure and easy to use. A few questions: Which cold wallet would you recommend? (Coldcard, Trezor, Ledger, Blockstream Jade, etc.) Which one has the lowest overall fees to use? What’s the cheapest exchange in Canada to buy BTC and transfer it to a cold wallet? Are there any ways to legally reduce taxes when buying and eventually selling Bitcoin in Canada? I’d really appreciate hearing what you’re personally using and why. Thanks! submitted by /u/international_hmm [link] [comments]

SlowCoin-A fully decentralized currency

COINS NEWS

Hello, I have an awesome idea to make currency more de-centralized and impartial,Idea is taken from monero(XMR). Here there are miners to mine the coins to perform the duty cycle as usual.But the holders just download an app that asks you a certain sum as a security deposit for the wallet size that determines the size of transaction that can be made through the wallet.This deposit serves as a contribution to the app interface for its functioning so that intermediaries dont run away with the payees money meant for the person getting paid Now hypothetically,if 20 people download the app(which will be like u torrent or bit torrent).I want to transact currency from C to F in exchange for a service or hard cash and suppose C and F both have 100$ in their security deposit and wallet. C will initiate a transaction to F for certain amount of SlowCoin(SC) say 20$.The 20$ from C's account will go to his security deposit(120$) . 20$ from F's security deposit moves to his main account. Suppose lets say we have A,B,D,E in the vicinity of C.G,H in the vicinity of A,B,D and G,H in the vicinity of F.B and D will give to F a certain amount from their security deposit to F till their security deposit's proportion is equal to F's security deposit proportion,then G,H,A will give a certain proportion of security deposit to B and D till their secDep equalizes proportionally.Similarly F's security deposit equalizes proportionally with A,B,D,E like a pipeline from C to F. To keep the system active the rules are:- 1.The participants must facilitate transactions for a certain time ,for users around you to facilitate the participants transactions for the same amt of time 2.The number of other participants the O.P facilitated the transaction for (based on the proportion of security deposit).That many devices would facilitate transactions for the OP. 3.The devices would be connected to each other via bluetooth and money will only be managed by their devices itself. 4.Programs can be made tamper-proof by some sort of hash-key system assigned to the program by the mining duty cycle. The miners can also function as a balancer between geographical areas that are excess in (SC) and shortage of (SC). I cant believe no one came up with a peer to peer method of transacting submitted by /u/Own_Reserve9889 [link] [comments]

bitcoin etf's had their worst month on record. $4.5b out in june. and the coins didn't go to exchanges

COINS NEWS

june 2026 was the worst month for us spot bitcoin etfs since launch. around $4.5b in net outflows across the group. bit alone shed something like $3.5b this year also became the first with negative net etf flow overall. the more interesting thing to me is that bitcoin exchange reserves are sitting near a 7 year low and the coins leaving etfs arent showing up on coinbase or binance. they’re moving into self custody. long term holders quietly absorbing the float that etf sellers are shedding. so theres two things happening at once. institutions and traders are selling out of the wrapper. onchain accumulators are buying the underlying. thats not necessarily a bearish signal for btc. it looks more like a custody preference signal. which honestly makes sense to me. the etf was always kind of a weird product for crypto. you get price exposure but you lose everything that made the asset interesting in the first place. no self custody. no 24/7 settlement. you're back to trusting a fund admin who can gate redemptions in a crisis. its bitcoin exposure with the bitcoin part sanded off. worth thinking about how far this preference extends. the same custody question applies once you start trading, not just holding. venues like ostium and hyperliquid let you take leveraged exposure to gold, fx, indices, whatever, but the margin sits in your wallet the whole time and the platform cant restrict your account before a big move. the olp model has real tradeoffs (you're trading against the pool, not a neutral book), so its not a free lunch. but the custody structure is fundamentally different from what you get through an etf or a brokerage. if the june outflows are just macro rotation, this doesnt mean much. but the underlying self custody signal is consistent with something thats been slowly building across the whole year submitted by /u/Hashirama_2001 [link] [comments]

Building an Asia-focused prediction market — development update and looking for early feedback

COINS NEWS

Disclosure: I am the builder of PredictAsiaX and the deployer of the PAX token. I’m building PredictAsiaX, an Asia-focused prediction market platform designed around USDT access, multi-chain deposits and withdrawals, and multilingual users. The platform is roughly 95% complete based on our internal development checklist. That is a founder estimate—not an external audit, public-launch claim, or evidence of user traction. The current build includes: - Prediction markets across sports, politics, crypto and technology - Multi-source market-resolution and oracle infrastructure - Double-entry accounting - Risk controls and circuit breakers - 13-language support - USDT deposit and withdrawal infrastructure across multiple chains - Administrative systems for market, risk, treasury and user operations The platform is still gated and under development. Settlement currently runs off-chain through the production database. On-chain settlement is part of the future roadmap, but the target chain is still TBD. PAX, the platform’s utility token, is already deployed on Polygon and listed on CoinGecko. The token being live does not mean the platform is fully launched. I’m currently looking for: Early users interested in testing the product when gated access becomes available Honest feedback from traders, developers and prediction-market users Introductions to early-stage backers who understand the risks of a pre-launch crypto product Questions I would especially appreciate feedback on: What would you need to see before trusting the resolution process? Should settlement move fully on-chain, or would publishing on-chain proof hashes be sufficient? Which features would make an Asia-focused prediction market meaningfully different? What should be independently audited before public access opens? Project links Platform: https://predictasiax.com Whitepaper: https://predictasiax.com/whitepaper.pdf PAX on CoinGecko: https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/predictasiax For creators interested specifically in the PAX token KOL program: https://airdrop.predictasiax.com/kol-signup This is a development update and request for feedback, not financial advice or a promise of returns.

The EU is compiling registries of crypto holders (DAC8, live since January). France already shows the failure mode: a tax office clerk sold investor data to kidnapping gangs

COINS NEWS

Since January 1, 2026, every crypto exchange and broker serving EU residents has been collecting, for tax authorities, a file on each client: name, home address, date and place of birth, tax numbers, and aggregate yearly values of everything bought, sold, and swapped. Transfers to addresses the platform does not recognize are reported too, which in practice flags withdrawals to self-custody. In 2027 these files start flowing between the tax administrations of all 27 member states. The fiscal purpose is legitimate and the data is not public. That is precisely why the honest question is not whether the system is sealed on paper but how comparable datasets have actually escaped. The record is complete: a hacked private provider (Ledger 2020, 270,000 customers with home addresses), a bribed insider at a support contractor (Coinbase 2025, about 70,000 users including KYC document scans, with bribes reportedly starting in the hundreds of dollars), a corrupt official (a clerk at a French tax office, in custody since June 2025, allegedly ran queries for crypto investors and sold the results to organized crime), and a breached crypto tax platform (Waltio, January 2026, database on the dark web). In 2019 Bulgaria leaked the tax records of nearly every adult in the country. The stakes differ from ordinary financial data. A bank balance is a claim on an institution, protected by reversals and AML holds; self-custodied crypto is a bearer asset, seized together with the person. Knowing someone's deposit helps a fraudster; knowing someone's hardware wallet helps a kidnapper. The CJEU understood this in 2022 when it struck down public beneficial-ownership registers, listing fraud, kidnapping, blackmail, extortion, harassment, and violence as the risks of exposing wealth data. What proportionate design would look like: strict data minimization, logged and audited access per official, serious criminal exposure for misuse, independent audits of the exchange systems. What individuals can lawfully do meanwhile: shrink the KYC surface to one provider, never ship wallet hardware to a home address, and structure custody so that leaked knowledge is useless to an attacker. submitted by /u/Robert-Nogacki [link] [comments]

Using MSTR as a "Lifestyle & Travel Fund" while keeping the BTC stack completely untouched. Anyone else running this exact tactic?

COINS NEWS

Hey everyone, I wanted to throw my current strategy out there, see what the community thinks, and find out if anyone else is running this exact same setup. First, the ground rules for my portfolio: I am a long-term Bitcoin believer. I DCA into BTC weekly, I have zero intention of stopping, and my core cold-storage stack is completely untouchable. I’m not selling it. However, life is happening right now. My family loves to travel, and I want to spend money making memories while the kids are young. I don't want to look back in 10 or 15 years wishing we had taken those trips. At the same time, I absolutely refuse to sell a single sat from my core BTC stack to fund vacations. To bridge the gap, I’ve started running a parallel strategy using MicroStrategy (MSTR) stock: The Long-Term Base: Keep the weekly spot BTC DCA running automatically in the background (generational wealth, never to be touched). The Travel Vehicle: Direct extra, separate capital into MSTR stock inside a traditional brokerage account. The Target: MSTR acts like a high-beta, corporate-leveraged play on Bitcoin. When BTC ultimately hits a major milestone like $200k+, MSTR should theoretically give me an amplified return on that specific capital. The Exit: I take profits strictly by selling the MSTR stock to fund family travels, leaving my actual Bitcoin completely intact. To me, it feels like the ultimate way to "have my cake and eat it too." I get to use the explosive upside of the crypto market to enjoy real-life experiences today, without violating my golden rule of never selling my real Bitcoin. I know the risks—MSTR’s corporate leverage cuts both ways during drawdowns, and the Net Asset Value (NAV) premium can be highly erratic. But treating it strictly as a volatile lifestyle trading tool feels cleaner than touching cold storage. Is anyone else out there following this exact same tactic? If you use MSTR as a profit-taking satellite asset while maintaining a separate, permanent spot BTC stack, how has it worked out for you? What do you guys think of this approach? submitted by /u/Worldly-Ad-1274 [link] [comments]

Post-Mortem: What Happened Between Samourai Wallet and Me

COINS NEWS

How a wallet that adopted my privacy framework turned technical disagreement into a reputational war—and what I got wrong too The fully sourced and illustrated version, together with the complete evidence archive, is available on GitHub. The archive preserves court filings, source-code snapshots, public posts, private-message records, Research Club transcripts, and screenshots. After law enforcement seized Samourai Wallet’s servers, William Hill—TDevD—messaged an associate: “Not good.” “I’m not thinking so much about Whirlpool as I am about the wallet backends (xpubs).” An extended public key cannot spend a user’s bitcoin, but it can reveal the addresses derived from a wallet and follow their history. For years, I had argued that Samourai’s default backend created exactly this point of failure. Hill’s message, reproduced in the government’s sentencing memorandum, showed that he understood why the seizure of that backend mattered. The seizure did not create the xpub problem. It exposed the consequences of a design choice that had been there from the start. I do not offer this post-mortem as vindication. A prison sentence cannot settle a protocol dispute, and an indictment cannot make every allegation true. I will distinguish what the public record establishes, what I infer from it, and what I remember but cannot independently prove. To understand what was sitting on that server—and why I had spent years shouting about it—we have to go back to a README file in July 2017, before the feud began. How ZeroLink actually began I wanted Samourai to succeed in implementing ZeroLink. I wanted more wallets to implement serious Bitcoin privacy, and I wanted ZeroLink to become useful software rather than another specification admired by a small circle and ignored by everyone else. I created ZeroLink. The repository history makes the chronology clear. I opened it on July 28, 2017. Before Samourai made a single commit, I had made 19 commits and written a 184-line, 2,883-word document containing the framework’s core architecture. Samourai’s first commit arrived two days later. Its title was “Fix typos”. It did exactly that. ZeroLink was not merely a name for a CoinJoin transaction. It was a privacy framework for Bitcoin wallets: blinded coordination together with rules for network privacy, coin selection, transaction chains, and spending after the mix. Chaumian CoinJoin was the protocol; ZeroLink was the wider wallet framework. That is the work Samourai later claimed to have co-created. At the August 14 publication snapshot, Git blame attributes 6,126 of the document’s 6,627 words to me and 242 to Bill/TDevD. Their only sizeable technical addition concerned BIP47 and stealth addresses. At the time, I did not understand what problem that proposal solved or why it belonged in ZeroLink. Instead of challenging it, I assumed I was missing something and accepted it out of politeness. Two days later, I clarified that BIP47 was not part of the protocol, and I removed the section in 2019. The rest of their work was overwhelmingly light editing. I had also placed TDevD in the Authors section before that proposal was committed. Both decisions came from the same reflex: they spoke with confidence, I assumed any confusion was mine, and I tried to be generous. That politeness was later used to support an authorship claim the repository does not support. By 2022—three years after I had publicly challenged the co-creation story, with the Git history still open for inspection—Samourai was still repeating it. I regard those later repetitions as a lie. “Collaboration” can be innocent shorthand before anyone disputes it. It stops being innocent after the primary record is placed in front of you and you continue telling the version that promotes you from reviewer and prospective implementer to co-creator. Our contact was limited. We barely spoke, and I was never part of Samourai. I had created ZeroLink; Samourai said it intended to implement it. Brian “Shinobi” Trollz, who observed the dispute at the time, later recalled a specific turning point. I asked for a week to consider whether coordinators could be run altruistically. During that week, he said, Samourai’s posture toward me shifted into mockery. By April 2019, I had recorded that they were no longer interested or responsive and that I had continued independently. People can disagree about why our limited contact ended. The authorship record is not a matter of recollection. The central privacy difference The authorship dispute mattered to me. The architectural difference between the wallets mattered to users. Wasabi’s default architecture was designed to deny its own operator the wallet graph. The backend distributed block filters; clients checked addresses locally; wallet traffic went through Tor; and blinded CoinJoin credentials prevented the coordinator from linking a registered input to its output. A user did not have to operate a personal server to hide addresses and transaction history from us. Privacy from the service operator was the default. Samourai’s default client sent extended public keys to Samourai’s hosted backend. Whoever possesses an xpub can derive its associated addresses and follow their transactions. Samourai’s own Dojo documentation disclosed the consequence indirectly. Running MyDojo improved privacy by “completely bypassing” the default hosted servers, while its Tracker recorded registered xpubs and addresses. Then came the clearest lie in the xpub argument. In October 2022, Kruw pointed out that the default app exposed the user’s xpub and asked why Samourai would not use BIP157/BIP158 client-side filters. The official wallet account refused, defended what it called “the best architecture for our needs,” and claimed it had been “open and truthful from day one.” When asked whether wider BIP157 adoption would change that decision, the official account answered: “We are a full node wallet. Always have been.” That statement remains public. It was false. The Android app was a light client of a backing server. Dojo could place that server and a Bitcoin Core node under the user’s control, but it did not turn the phone into a full node. Samourai’s own 2019 announcement said default users had to trust its servers with their public keys. Hill’s sentencing submission later described the architecture as one used by “light wallets.” Tor support existed, but it was not enabled by default. Samourai’s signed source allowed a user to create a wallet while Tor remained off, treated the Tor preference as false unless the user enabled it, and used the ordinary network path for xpub requests when Tor was disabled. An April 2023 report on Samourai’s own GitLab included the wallet-creation screen with Tor off, Dojo unconfigured, and Create a new wallet still available. The issue, titled “Important privacy features are disabled by default,” proposed enabling Tor and Dojo by default or at least warning users what the disabled settings exposed. A Samourai project owner said the proposal would not be merged, called the report “concern trolling,” issued a “first and final warning,” and immediately closed it. The archived issue preserves the exchange. The privacy problem was reported on their own development platform. Their response was to reject the change and threaten the reporter. An earlier exchange used a different evasion. In July 2022, a user wrote: “Xpub is sent to whirlpool servers.” Hill answered: “No xpubs are handled by the coordinator.” The xpubs went to Samourai’s wallet backend, not the Whirlpool coordinator. He changed the noun while avoiding the issue. In the same reply, he claimed Samourai had implemented ZeroLink “on spec,” something I supposedly “didn’t have the skill set to do.” The post simultaneously evaded the backend question and reversed the authorship record. Sentinel, Samourai’s watch-only app, made the architecture even easier to see. A watch-only wallet legitimately needs an xpub, and Sentinel correctly said it could not spend the user’s coins. The privacy question was what happened after the user imported that xpub. In August 2017, Samourai committed a change titled “move XPUB multiaddr to Samourai API”. From then on, Sentinel sent tracked xpubs to Samourai’s hosted backend. It did so for more than two years before Tor routing was added. When Tor arrived, its preference defaulted to off. Sentinel could not steal users’ coins. Its hosted mode could map their wallets. That collection was integral to the product, not incidental telemetry. Dojo arrived years later Dojo did not erase what the default client had already disclosed. Dojo’s server code was released on June 2, 2019, nearly four years into Samourai’s life. Even then, Samourai said the wallet required another update before it could pair with Dojo. Version 0.99.81 finally added pairing on July 11, 2019, but only for a newly created wallet. Restoring an existing wallet was explicitly unsupported. Samourai’s own release announcement instructed users to create a new wallet after pairing. An earlier user who wanted to stop using Samourai’s hosted servers therefore had to create a new wallet behind Dojo and move funds out of the old wallet. That could prevent disclosure of the new wallet’s xpub. It could not retract the old xpub or history already sent to Samourai. A direct transfer between the wallets would also remain visible on-chain. Dojo gave later self-hosters a way to avoid future disclosure. It did not retroactively protect default users. The Blockchain.info lineage William led the Blockchain.info Android wallet project that preceded Samourai. He opened the surviving Android-Wallet-2-App history with its April 2014 initial commit and is its dominant visible developer by commit count. His sentencing submission calls him Blockchain.com’s senior mobile developer. Contemporary coverage identifies Keonne Rodriguez as the product lead responsible for the refreshed wallet’s interface and user experience. William’s commits even include “UI prep for shared coin”, referring to Blockchain.info’s earlier mixing product. They did not create Blockchain.info itself. They did lead the mobile-wallet project from which Samourai emerged. Samourai then kept its own source private for approximately a year. At the time, it said this delay was deliberate and intended to give the product a competitive “leg-up.” When the first public Samourai snapshot appeared in March 2016, it contained unmistakable Blockchain.info lineage. That does not mean the entire application was a verbatim copy. It does contradict the image of a clean-sheet privacy wallet appearing from nowhere. SharedCoin matters because its trust problem was already understood. It was noncustodial, but its server constructed the joins and knew their links. Public transaction ambiguity could not provide privacy from the operator that already knew the mapping. Samourai rebuilt that operator-trust problem by collecting wallet-level public keys on its default server. I raised this before the seizure. In an April 2020 Wasabi Research Club discussion about ZeroLink, I described the rejected design plainly: a trusted central server to which everyone sends their xpubs. That, I said, “obviously sounds pretty stupid,” which is why ZeroLink used blinded coordination. In July 2021, I again explained that if a server possesses the xpub, repeated mixing cannot erase what the server already knows. In September 2022, during a discussion of balance-query architectures, I warned that an xpub retained on another computer could later be exposed through hacking or seizure. The government seized Samourai’s servers in April 2024. The practical distinction was whether the operator was technically prevented from learning wallet relationships or merely trusted not to use them. Wasabi was not perfect against every imaginable adversary. No honest system built on Bitcoin, Tor, fallible software, and human behavior can promise that. But against the service operator—the adversary at the center of this dispute—Wasabi placed cryptography and local processing between the user and us. Samourai relied on trust in its operator. Sockpuppets and attacks on critics My first SamouraiLeaks investigation began with the suspicion that one of Samourai’s developers was promoting the project and attacking critics through an identity presented as independent. In April 2019, I published the evidence that “foneBTC” and “fone-btc” were TDevD/William Hill’s sockpuppet accounts. The investigation itself contains the proof. The problem was not the use of a pseudonym. Pseudonyms are normal in Bitcoin. The problem was hidden affiliation used to manufacture consensus: one participant appearing to be several, promotion made to look organic, and an interested party presenting himself as a neutral observer. In a field where few users can audit every cryptographic claim themselves, reputation becomes part of the security model. Astroturfing corrupts that model. Before publishing, I tried private discussion, sought a mediator, and offered to stop discussing Samourai if the attacks stopped. Eventually, I concluded that my silence was being treated as permission rather than de-escalation. Other developers then began describing the same treatment. Gregory Maxwell said architectural criticism was answered with harassment and accusations instead of a technical response. Nicolas Dorier described the reaction he received after pointing out that the default backend received users’ extended public keys. Their comments remain in the original discussion, including Dorier’s account. Luke Dashjr said that disclosing an RPC-password exposure in a setup guide brought an accusation that he operated a criminal protection racket. Chris Belcher later described substantive BIP47 objections being answered by smears against the people raising them. These were independent developers, not a Wasabi group. Several of them also criticized Wasabi. Their accounts described the same response: technical objections were redirected toward the critic’s motives, status, or character. Accuse loudly, qualify quietly After enough repetitions, the pattern became predictable: begin with something real—an uncertainty, compromise, or bug—then attach the most damaging possible interpretation and promote that interpretation as the headline. When contrary evidence appears, place the qualification where fewer people will see it: inside a reply, outside a screenshot, or silently inside a later code change. Samourai claimed I had admitted Wasabi supplied its own liquidity. I had made no such admission. The journalist responsible for the report corrected that characterization, but the correction never travelled as far as the accusation. Another observer documented how Samourai’s presentation excluded my correction and contrary replies. The same technique appeared in the Tor-identity dispute. In April 2023, a user asked whether Whirlpool changed Tor circuits between input registration and output registration. Keonne Rodriguez answered categorically that it did and dismissed the questioner as a known liar. In March 2024, the Whirlpool client added an explicit changeIdentity() call immediately before output registration. The code comment said the new identity was used to “unlink from input.” The later commit cannot establish that previous users were deanonymized or that anyone exploited the earlier behavior. It does establish that the categorical answer was not justified. A precise response in 2023 would have explained what the code did, what had been verified, and what remained uncertain. Rodriguez answered with certainty and an insult. The code changed later. That response culture made reporting problems socially expensive. Even small bugs became difficult to discuss because the reporter risked becoming the subject. OXT was owned by Samourai OXT was not an independent research group that happened to agree with Samourai. In December 2017, Samourai announced that it had “finalized the acquisition” of OXT in an all-bitcoin transaction and described the purchase as a long-term strategic investment. Years later, an OXT developer’s support letter included in William’s own sentencing submission described OXT as a Bitcoin forensic tool “owned and operated by Samourai Wallet.” The government separately described William and Keonne as operating OXT as a tracing and wallet-attribution tool. Samourai denounced surveillance companies while owning and operating a blockchain tracing and wallet-attribution tool of its own. In August 2020, this Samourai-owned research arm announced two supposed Wasabi vulnerabilities, rated them High/Critical, claimed they could cancel privacy gained from earlier mixes, and gave us forty-eight hours to publish a warning on its terms. The full report contained a fatal premise: the attacker had to know the composition of the target’s wallet at a chosen point in time and know events affecting that wallet’s participation in later rounds. That was not a small condition. It supplied the wallet membership the alleged attack was supposed to uncover. OXT’s demonstration avoided the problem by controlling both sides. Its “Alice” started with a known coin. Its “Eve” already knew which funds belonged to Alice and ran a modified Wasabi client that logged round events. Given the wallet’s exact starting state, public coin-selection code could sometimes predict which coins the client would offer next. That showed that known software can behave predictably when the observer is handed its private starting state. It did not demonstrate how an outside observer could discover an unknown wallet’s contents, identify an unknown mixed output as the target’s, or recover the blinded input-to-output link. Even in that constructed test, predictions failed because of confirmation states, failed rounds, and coordinator behavior. OXT called those deviations “exogenous randomness.” Its reported “adjusted anonsets” were values produced by its own model—not identities uncovered or input-output links recovered. My contemporaneous response explained that distinction. Adding randomness can be reasonable hardening without validating a claimed exploit. Samourai later treated Wasabi 2’s different coin-selection behavior as an admission that OXT had been right. The timeline contradicts that story. The Wasabi 2 research effort began in January 2020, and WabiSabi was publicly presented in June—before OXT’s August disclosure. The hypocrisy was direct: OXT’s hypothetical attacker needed to begin with a target’s wallet map, while Samourai’s actual default backend collected wallet maps. OXT itself later wrote that privacy guarantees must come from default software behavior, not burdens placed on users. Samourai’s default failed that standard. Avoiding its hosted backend required the user to run Dojo. Criminal association as a marketing weapon Samourai and OXT repeatedly attached Wasabi’s name to alleged criminal activity and then treated the association itself as evidence against us. The trap worked either way. If we answered, we helped spread the association. If we stayed silent, they presented the silence as a concession. In some cases, answering meaningfully would have required disclosing operational knowledge or investigative methods that could not safely be made public. The absence of a public response did not mean agreement. Samourai’s double standard became especially ugly after Luke Dashjr’s theft. On January 4, 2023, OXTObserver flagged 204.77460928 BTC as #LUKE-JR_STOLEN_FUNDS and described the wallet as controlled by hackers. Samourai Wallet reposted the alert. A user asked what Samourai would do if the thieves tried to mix the coins in Whirlpool. The official account answered: “If they go into Whirlpool? Relish in the delicious irony and extra salt in Luke’s gaping wound.” The exchange remains public. It does not establish that the stolen coins entered Whirlpool. It establishes how Samourai’s official account reacted to the possibility because the victim was Luke. By 2022, legal and regulatory pressure on zkSNACKs was threatening the survival of the company-run coordination service. The default coordinator began rejecting some UTXOs. I had argued against blacklisting, and users who felt betrayed had a legitimate grievance. That policy was censorship by one service. It did not reveal the relationship between accepted inputs and their outputs. The protocol still blinded that relationship; Wasabi remained MIT-licensed; and alternative coordinators could operate without zkSNACKs’ policy. Samourai turned the policy dispute into the claim that Wasabi had become a surveillance wallet. The comparison ignored the architectures: zkSNACKs refused some inputs without learning their outputs, while Samourai’s default backend received and retained ordinary users’ wallet maps. The megaphone was bigger than the product Samourai’s Twitter presence made the rivalry look symmetrical despite the large difference in usage. Dumplings—my reproducible CoinJoin scanner—separated fresh bitcoin entering a mixer from coins merely being remixed. From Whirlpool’s first detected month in April 2019 through the dataset’s end in August 2022, it identified approximately 247,675 fresh BTC entering Wasabi and 30,228 entering Whirlpool. Wasabi led in every one of those forty-one months. This measures bitcoin volume, not unique users. It is nevertheless the opposite of adoption parity. Whirlpool’s headline transaction totals were enlarged by free remixes, through which the same bitcoin could appear in round after round without representing a new user or newly arriving funds. Samourai had a large social-media megaphone. It did not have comparable adoption by this measure. Moving privacy problems did not solve them Whirlpool advertised CoinJoin transactions with no toxic change. Its TX0 transaction kept the change outside the CoinJoin and placed it in a separate account so users would be less likely to spend it accidentally with mixed coins. That was useful. It did not make the toxic change disappear. Samourai itself later called those coins “unmixed toxic change” while proposing a way to swap them into Monero. TX0 publicly joined the deposit inputs, created fixed-denomination premix outputs, and exposed which first Whirlpool rounds spent them. Peeling change off before the CoinJoin did not create another on-chain break between that change and the first mix. It moved the point where the change appeared. Fixed denominations created costs at both ends. A user could have to combine inputs publicly to enter a pool. Later, an ordinary payment would rarely equal one pool denomination, so the user could have to combine post-mix outputs and create new change. Equal-output CoinJoins still provided privacy. Remix counts alone could not show whether that privacy survived the eventual spend. The coordinator-fee address revealed another double standard. In 2020, Samourai condemned Wasabi’s reuse of a coordinator-fee address in absolute terms and said there was “no going back” from the damage. In October 2023, Kruw reported that Whirlpool’s coordinator had reused one fee address across 37 transactions. In one cited transaction, 36 outputs from that address were consolidated as inputs. The archived report survives. That reuse does not itself prove Whirlpool users were demixed. The issue is the standard Samourai applied: it described address reuse in Wasabi as irreversible architectural damage, while Kruw says his equivalent report about Whirlpool was deleted. Precision matters in both directions The record contains real Samourai security failures, ambiguous claims, and some historical mislabeling. They should not be treated as one undifferentiated charge sheet. In 2021, an independent researcher disclosed a genuine local PIN-bypass weakness. Restarting the app reset the attempt counter; wallet metadata required for an offline PIN search was available on the device; and the PIN space was small. The issue became CVE-2021-36689. That was a defined security failure with a specific version and threat model. It was not evidence that every Samourai wallet could be drained remotely. My SamouraiLeaks Part 3 investigation concerned an earlier and different codebase: the Blockchain.info Android wallet William led before Samourai. That repository contained a generator that fetched entropy from Random.org over unencrypted HTTP. Under a narrow fallback path on older Android devices, a redirect combined with failed local entropy could produce deterministic key material. Ars Technica reported the conditions and risks in 2015. That history documents a serious engineering failure under particular conditions. It does not establish that every Samourai wallet used broken randomness or that William stole anybody’s coins. Those distinctions are what responsible security disclosure requires: what happened, who was affected, what is inferred, and what remains unknown. Samourai’s communications culture often treated those distinctions as weakness when answering critics, then demanded endless qualification when scrutiny turned inward. When you wrestle with a pig, you both get dirty The public posts document individual incidents, but they cannot fully convey their cumulative effect over several years. I began to approach technical conversations as possible trials of character because bug reports, imprecise reporting, and edited recordings could all be reframed as evidence of bad intent. Leaving a false claim unanswered allowed it to spread. Answering prolonged the conflict. I spent time preserving evidence that I wanted to spend on code. Friends and independent developers had to decide whether correcting the record was worth becoming the next target. I did not handle that well. I called the project “Scamourai” and swore at them. In 2019, CoinDesk quoted one of my replies simply saying, “Fuck you.” That anger produced little of value. The childish nickname allowed a long evidentiary record to be mistaken for reciprocal mudslinging and made it easier for outsiders to conclude that both sides were merely marketing tribes. I also sometimes spoke with more certainty than the evidence allowed. Receiving an xpub, retaining it, selling it, and maliciously querying it are separate claims. I knew the default backend received wallet-level public information. Before the server analysis became public, I did not know everything Samourai retained or did with it. I should have marked those boundaries in an angry tweet as carefully as I would in a protocol review. I regret the way I spoke. It made the documented issues easier to dismiss. Threats and doxxing By April 2023, the conflict had passed far beyond professional hostility. I received multiple threats that I understood as death threats from William Hill. I also received anonymous private threats during the same campaign. The screenshots cannot establish who controlled those anonymous accounts, so I distinguish them from Hill’s public posts. One anonymous message sent me a full address in Besenyszög. I censored the street-level portion before preserving it. Another sender claimed to have checked an address and seen me and my “stinking tribe,” asked whether I thought I could stay safe, and ended: “Don’t worry Nopara. We shall meet. Won’t be pretty on your end.” The screenshots establish what I received. They do not establish who operated the anonymous accounts. Hill’s public conduct requires less inference. He posted my parents’ home address more than once. I will not reproduce or link to those posts, because documenting doxxing does not require doing it again. On April 18, 2023, the official Samourai Wallet account posted “Snitches get stitches”. Two days later, Hill addressed me directly: “As a die hard collaborator, you deserve much worse.” “Let’s see how this plays out, OK bud?” The attached image showed armed men surrounding a seated captive whose head was being shaved. I understood the combination of those words and that image as a threat. The post remains available here. In February 2024, Hill wrote that I was “way overdue to get yours” and appended the name of my parents’ town. A follower replied: “Hope he gets stitches and ends up in a ditch.” Hill answered: “Yes.” “Soon.” The first post and Hill’s reply remain public. Six weeks later, Hill wrote: “It ain’t over until the fat boy is gutted (see bio).” He placed those words above Yasushi Nagao’s famous photograph of the onstage assassination of Japanese Socialist Party chairman Inejirō Asanuma. I had originally misremembered the victim as a Japanese prime minister. The recovered post identifies the photograph correctly. That correction does not change the nature of the post. As preserved on July 10, 2026, Hill’s public profile still named me, repeated the “gutted” language, and appended the small town where my parents live. Publishing my family’s location beside violent language was intimidation. What the server seizure revealed When Samourai’s founders were arrested in April 2024, I refused to treat the indictment as a verdict. Privacy software is not money laundering simply because criminals use it. The legal boundary around noncustodial software was—and remains—important. But law enforcement also seized Samourai’s servers, and later court filings addressed the technical issues I had been raising for years. In October 2025, the government said its server analysis showed that Rodriguez and Hill had retained enough information to trace or “demix” many mobile users’ Whirlpool transactions. By cross-referencing stored xpubs with past, present, and future Whirlpool transactions, an analyst could connect inputs and outputs through complex analysis. The filing stated an important limit: this did not by itself connect those transactions to real-world identities. The defense did not deny xpub collection. Hill’s sentencing submission tried to recast it as a functional necessity: users without their own nodes needed the backend to calculate balances, it said, and the design affected “only 20%” of Whirlpool users. That was a consequence of Samourai’s chosen architecture, not a universal requirement of light wallets. Wasabi obtained block filters and checked addresses on the client without giving our server the wallet’s xpub. The filing supplied no citation, methodology, underlying counts, or independent measurement for its 20 percent figure. It may have been a figure provided by Samourai and repeated by its lawyers. The public submission gives us no way to know. Even if accepted for the sake of argument, one in five Whirlpool users is not trivial. More importantly, the argument conceded the architecture I had objected to: A class of users gave its wallet graph to Samourai’s infrastructure. Samourai retained that information. The seizure placed it in government hands. The government’s “demix” finding is a representation in a sentencing memorandum, not an independently published forensic report. That qualification matters. So does the fact that Hill’s own post-seizure concern was not primarily Whirlpool itself, but “the wallet backends (xpubs).” The darknet double standard The June 2025 superseding indictment reproduced private messages and Dread posts in which Hill steered people who openly described criminal proceeds away from a competing mixer and toward Whirlpool. It alleged that Rodriguez knew Hill was doing substantial promotional work on Dread. This mattered because Samourai and OXT had repeatedly used alleged criminal use of Wasabi as part of their public case against us. The later record showed Samourai pursuing those same users as customers. On Dread, competitor disparagement was not abstract privacy research. It was a sales pitch aimed at people asking how to conceal criminal proceeds. In August 2025, Rodriguez and Hill each pleaded guilty to conspiring to operate a money-transmitting business knowing it transmitted crime proceeds. The money-laundering conspiracy count was dropped through their plea agreements. In November, Rodriguez received five years in prison and Hill four. The sentences did not resolve the software arguments. The prosecution also raised troubling due-process questions. Before the pleas, the defense argued that prosecutors had disclosed too late a FinCEN communication saying Samourai’s lack of control over users’ keys strongly suggested it was not a money-services business under FinCEN’s rules. The government disputed the significance of that communication. Anyone who cares about open-source privacy software should care about that issue too. The lies and hypocrisies Developers can be mistaken, remember events differently, or speak with unjustified confidence. I use “lie” more narrowly: a materially false account repeated after contrary evidence has been presented because the false version remains useful. By that standard: The ZeroLink co-creation story was a lie. The framework predated Samourai’s involvement. Its first contribution fixed typos. Samourai kept repeating the joint-origin account after I challenged it with the repository. The claim that I admitted Wasabi supplied its own liquidity was false. The journalist corrected the interpretation, but Samourai continued promoting the damaging version without my correction. The categorical Tor answer was false or recklessly certain. Rodriguez insulted the person asking, and the code later added the identity change the question had asked about. “We are a full node wallet. Always have been” was false. Without Dojo, the Android application was a light client of Samourai’s backend. The coordinator answer was an evasion. The Whirlpool coordinator may not have handled xpubs, but Samourai’s wallet backend did. OXT was not an independent referee. It was acquired, owned, and operated by Samourai while presenting severe claims against Samourai’s main competitor under a research label. Samourai’s position on surveillance was hypocritical. It denounced blockchain-surveillance companies while operating a tracing and wallet-attribution tool and collecting wallet maps on its default backend. Its position on address reuse was a double standard. It described Wasabi’s reuse as irreversible architectural damage, while equivalent reuse later appeared in Whirlpool. Its use of criminal association was selective. It attacked Wasabi through alleged criminal use while privately promoting Whirlpool to darknet users describing criminal proceeds. Its central privacy promise was contradicted by its defaults. The wallet sent xpubs to Samourai’s hosted backend and left Tor off unless the user enabled it. In that configuration, the same service could receive both the wallet graph and the connecting IP address. I use the name “Scamourai” to describe what I see as a false central promise, not as a legal accusation of fraud. The product sold resistance to surveillance while placing its operator in a position to surveil. It promoted verification while asking default users to trust that Samourai would not misuse wallet information its servers retained. To me, that went beyond imperfect privacy because the contradiction was built into the default architecture. Post-mortem The lasting damage was not only personal. It affected the authorship record and the possibility of productive competition. I gave TDevD more credit than the repository justified. Samourai inflated that credit into co-creation. Minor edits became joint research through repetition. The same culture made correction look like surrender and uncertainty look like weakness, turning technical competition into personal hostility. I contributed to that hostility by answering contempt with contempt. I cannot undo those words, but I can document the history more carefully now. Future privacy developers should not take this essay as a request to trust me or as a rule that every server and coordinator is unacceptable. The practical lesson is simpler: examine what an operator can learn if its infrastructure is compromised, coerced, hacked, or seized. Team identity, marketing, and a founder’s character are not privacy guarantees. A sound privacy protocol should continue protecting its users when trust in the operator fails. That is the standard I tried to build into ZeroLink. It is also the standard Samourai told its users to expect. The seized servers show why the difference mattered. submitted by /u/nopara73 [link] [comments]

Stay away from Kraken

COINS NEWS

I just wanted to share and inform about the mischievous activity of Kraken towards their users. If you check r/KrakenSupport , you will find dozens and dozens of posts regarding unanswered tickets, frozen deposits or withdrawals etc. All of them remaining unanswered. If you try to go spread the news, Kraken tries to silence you. I myself have been muted by kraken and my post was taken down. The only way to contact Kraken is via ticket or via reddit. They do not offer phone calls or emails. You may also talk to a useless AI Agent, which keeps repeating the same answer. https://preview.redd.it/6p4hr6um6nch1.png?width=760&format=png&auto=webp&s=c7b95d6a9e27c2ddc4c30f416c5c3fa32261d51c That being said, Kraken is supposed to be one of the more trustworthy crypto exchanges, backed by the Bank of Ireland I thought. What are your experiences with Kraken? Could you recommend better crypto exchanges (living in the EU, so MiCA required...) Edit: Some of these comments seem to suggest I did something wrong and falsely accuse me of improper use being the explanation for my frozen assets. So I want to use this edit to make few things clear: 1. I have opened the account 7 days ago 2. I verified successfully immediately 3. I have transferred money using their proposed SEPA mandate, after verification 4. My fiat Bank account provides documents for the successful transfer. The money was sent. 5. Immediately after the transfer, a popup message shows up on kraken, describing my account as restricted and promoting me to please check my mails for further info 6. My mail account is empty. No kraken info 7. Yes, I quadruple checked 8. Yes, I quintuple checked Spam also 9. I tried using their premade support solutions on the support page. No success 10. I tried reaching out via the chatbot. It created 5 tickets, all of which have been closed unanswered 11. I failed to find an official mail or phone number. Hence I went to reddit. After my first post, they started the "just wait"-mechanics. 12. I don't even think I am overreacting or being a nuisance. Someone said this behavior is normal for any financial service, and I strongly disagree. Everyone and anything has ever perfectly explained to me any transaction, any ban, any restriction ever going on with any financial issue on every single bank account I never owned. I had 10k€ vanish because of a software bug on an investment portfolio. Support was marvelous, and they explained clearly where the money went, how they will get I back etc. 13. I sent the money from a bank account in my name, matching the name in the legal documents I had to provide for verification. submitted by /u/Adventurous_Heat1003 [link] [comments]

I built an autonomous ESP32-S3 controller to mine Bitcoin strictly using solar surplus (Zero grid consumption). Open Source! ☀️⛏️

COINS NEWS

Hey everyone, I just dropped v4.0 of my open-source Solar Crypto Mining Farm project, and I wanted to share the architecture. The goal was simple: mine Bitcoin only when there’s free solar energy, and never pay for grid electricity to do it. I’m running a 7,740Wp solar array into a custom mining fleet (Avalon Q, Nerd Octaxe, NerdQAxe+, and a BitAxe Gamma). To orchestrate this, I built an edge-computing controller using an auto-detected ESP32-S3. How it works: The ESP32-S3 polls a 6-channel Refoss EM06P energy monitor every 30 seconds via HTTP API. It calculates the exact solar surplus across a bi-phase circuit (W, VA, and VAR). The decision engine automatically switches between 16 calculated mining profiles (from a single 21W BitAxe up to a 2001W full fleet blasting 104.5 TH/s) to perfectly match the live surplus. Relays handle the smaller ASICs, while the Avalon Q is controlled via CGMiner API commands to scale its modes (Low/Mid/High). Everything is logged to a Supabase cloud database, and the ESP32 serves a live local web dashboard. I also built a live Three.js 3D visualization of the whole cluster operating in real-time. You can check out the live 3D dashboard here:https://0xraphael.com/solar-mining-clusterAnd the full repo (including the v4 per-phase W/VA/VAR scalar math and Tasmota configs) is available here: https://github.com/0xrphl/Solar-crypto-mining-farm-maximization-control Would love to hear any feedback on the energy modeling or the edge logic! submitted by /u/0xrphl [link] [comments]

Bitcoin is the best performing asset in human history, and we can just scale in at the scheduled bear market lows that occur every 4 years and 5x our money in a few years? I had these same thoughts after the FTX capitulation, that surely it can’t be this easy to buy here and wait. Sure enough, bitcoin went up almost 800% off the lows and I made a ton of money. Are they really going to let us do it again?? submitted by /u/Prior_Material4115 [link] [comments]

I built Freeport - a P2P marketplace over Nostr with a built-in self-custodial Lightning wallet

COINS NEWS

Freeport is a P2P marketplace (rides, services, goods) running entirely on Nostr relays - no server, no middleman. It now has payments built in: - Self-custodial Lightning (Breez SDK / Spark) - the app never holds funds - Wallet key derived from your Nostr key: one backup covers identity + wallet - No signup - keypair generated on-device, optional passkey login - Lightning address, bolt11, on-chain - Confirmed deals get a Pay button / QR with the agreed amount, auto-converted from fiat Fun fact: you can download the HTML file from releases page to run the whole app ???? submitted by /u/thanatosvn [link] [comments]

Any big moves on weekends?

COINS NEWS

Hi all, still new to BTC, been DCAing a couple of months now just as a possible alternative investment. I haven't been paying much attention to the price movement over the years (except when it would rocket up or down). My question for long timers is, have any really big moves occured on weekend days? I know it is technically a 24/7 asset, but have there been any surprise moves when no one was expecting them? submitted by /u/OdonsOwn1966 [link] [comments]

Cold storage vs. ETFs

COINS NEWS

At 46 years old and minimal retirement savings so far, I've been absorbing alot of people's perspectives on the best route for achieving my goals in a 15-yearish window. I'm unlikely to live to see hyperbitcoinization or the collapse of the fiat system. It seems like the most rational, reasonable approach would be to heavy index funds along with some Bitcoin ETFs. Safe and uncomplicated. I'm going with real Bitcoin in cold storage. Why? Because it stirs something in me. It makes me feel like I'm part of a revolution that the world desperately needs, rather than simply riding it's coattails to get my basic needs met. It feels more like living life rather than just prolonging it. That to me is worth some extra risk and effort. submitted by /u/Money_Ask2726 [link] [comments]

Suspicious SOL amounts received

COINS NEWS

So lately I've migrated from one exchange to another. Upon moving my SOL from the original exchange into a wallet, I noticed that 3 additional, negligible amounts (something like 0,00001 SOL) were also received from other 3 addresses into my wallet. All 3 addresses look very similar to my wallet address. Are these transfers scam attempts trying to trick me into using them in future transactions? Is my wallet address compromised?

Releasing several open-source Bitcoin research tools (vanity search, early block analysis, and an experimental key derivation project)

COINS NEWS

A few weeks ago I mentioned I was experimenting with a different approach to elliptic curve analysis and said I’d share the code once it was in a state I was comfortable releasing. I’m starting to publish pieces of that work under the Chainborn organization. The repositories include: A vanity address prefix search implementation. Tooling for analyzing the flow of early mined Bitcoin blocks. An experimental project exploring private key derivation from elliptic curve (x, y) coordinates. For the last project, I’m not asking anyone to accept any claims at face value. To make it easier to evaluate, the initial release will be constrained to Bitcoin puzzle key ranges so the implementation can be tested against known datasets before attempting anything more ambitious. My goal is to get technical feedback on the implementation, assumptions, and methodology. If you have experience with secp256k1, ECC, or Bitcoin internals, I’d appreciate critical review more than speculation. I’ll be publishing the repositories under an open-source license as I finish cleaning them up. P.S. One of the repositories I’ll be releasing contains the implementation I used to derive the private keys for the solved Bitcoin Puzzle #125 and #130 challenges. The release includes the code and methodology so others can inspect, reproduce, and evaluate the results for themselves. submitted by /u/chainbornadl [link] [comments]

Brother died w/ 1 btc in wallet

COINS NEWS

In 2021, I lost my brother. He struggled with addiction for years, and even though we tried everything to help him, it eventually took his life. Going through his things afterward was one of the hardest experiences I’ve ever had. Mixed in with the chaos of his old notebooks, devices, and personal items, I found a Bitcoin wallet he had been using. It has around 1 BTC in it. I know that’s not a fortune, but right now it feels huge. I’m out of work, and I have a baby to take care of. Every day is a balancing act between grief, responsibility, and trying to keep us afloat. That 1 BTC wouldn’t fix everything, but it would give us some breathing room — something I haven’t felt in a long time. The problem is: I can’t find his seed phrase. I’ve searched every notebook, every scrap of paper, every old phone, every email account. Nothing. It’s like it vanished with him. I’m posting here because I don’t know where else to turn. I’m not looking to hand over sensitive info or fall for scams — I just want to know if anything can be done. If there are legitimate recovery methods or professionals who can help in situations like this. If someone can genuinely help and it’s real and verifiable, I’m willing to pay for the work (10% or whatever is fair). Here is the wallet address if anyone needs it for context or wants to check activity: 1BAhzEdUxGqXmtdqPZ8GFBS5nZ6z1yjBhE Any advice, guidance, or help means more than I can express.

Full nodes are too expensive for their intended purpose

COINS NEWS

I went to impulse buy a mini pc and 2 TB SSD to run a full node only to find out that will run me well over $500 and 2 TB SSD will not be enough space in the next handful of years and in need to spend more money. How does bitcoin expect to have world wide node operators when people in first world countries with full time employment (<1% global population) are not willing to fork over full node money and the prices are only continuing to expand for storage along with total storage needed also expanding? I realize that pruned nodes are a thing but what happens when the only full nodes being run are corporate types that have gov and investor eyes on their backs? Will bitcoin be able to maintain its white papers ethos of peer to peer e cash at the current rate? I would argue it already failed at the original claims. Maybe it will be successful as some other thing. Please assist.

I lowkey wouldn't mind providing liquidity to gamblers to nickel and dime my way through the internet

COINS NEWS

I feel like that was the endgame of defi. You put $2000 in a perpetual futures vault, or some combination of blue chip pools, and then you spend 25 cents a day to bribe your way out of ads. Why did nobody integrate web3? People spent more in gas to move a jpeg than a monthly news subscription. I should be able to use fixed yield tools to continuously fund my favorite websites and creators, without either party exposing themselves to insolvency risk. The tooling is there to build yield-based subscription models, but very few sites are integrating with the Metamask compatible framework that all the gambling sites run on. It's like stepping into the future for a brief moment, only that they offer something that is mathematically predestined to reward specific behaviors over others in a negative sum fashion given the gas cost to do anything (it's still cheaper and more open than traditional payment routing methods). If the NYT needs 4 bucks a month to run, let me park $100 in some fixed-yield derivative of a degen farm where the future payout is guaranteed to the site for a year or something. I get like $90 bucks back on a bad year when I unlock my liquidity provisions, and we both make out in the green, because either the degen yield trader lost the farm, or leverage users had a Tuesday. Assuming the internet remains primarily free and ad driven, what obstacles are we dealing with? submitted by /u/flersion [link] [comments]

Bitcoin is better than gold

COINS NEWS

Here’s my original thought that has likely been thought of before. Theres dozens of reasons one could argue for in favor of either side whether they support gold or Bitcoin. However the one reason that trumps them all, I think, is the fact that as we all know, there will only ever be 21 Million BTC. On the flip side, who knows if one day a massive amount of gold will be discovered? Advances in mining technology, whether it be more efficient processing equipment or high tech scanning instruments, could greatly increase the global supply of gold. Perhaps an asteroid will crash from outer space one day bringing incomprehensible amounts of gold with it. The point being, there are a ton of unknowns with the future of the gold supply, meanwhile the Bitcoin supply is completely predictable, and will be as long as the internet is still up and running. Does anyone agree or disagree with this thought? submitted by /u/IHopeYouHaveSomeBTC [link] [comments]

I got tired of bubble charts I couldn't customize, so I built one where you can restyle everything (free, no login)

COINS NEWS

Bubble charts aren't new, cryptobubbles has been around forever and it's genuinely good. Two things always bugged me though: you can't change how it looks, and it only ever shows the whole market, never your coins. So I built one into the tracker I work on. Bubbles sized by price change, market cap or volume, timeframes from 1H to 1Y, and you pick how many assets are on screen. There's a theme system if the default look isn't yours, and besides the market view you can load your own portfolio or watchlist as the bubbles, which is the part I actually use. Physics is d3-force, so they drift and collide for real instead of looping a canned animation. https://mantapex.com/visualization I work on Mantapex, so read this with the appropriate suspicion. The market view is free and needs no account, that's what the link opens. Portfolio and watchlist modes do need one, since it has to know what you hold. And if all you want is a quick look at the whole market, cryptobubbles honestly does that fine too. Curious which theme people end up on. The default is called Big Blue but I keep switching to Asteroids. submitted by /u/Drakuf [link] [comments]

Satoshi Discussed Creating a Testnet For Bitcoin 16 Years Ago Today

COINS NEWS

Re: Security 2010-07-10 12:58:02 UTC - - I'll start thinking about how to do this. At the moment, you can kind of use -connect. You can use -connect to make it connect to local computers on your LAN, like -connect=192.168.0.100. If you start it out blank and don't let it connect to the main network, the difficulty is still at the original low difficulty. If you've port-forwarded though, then outside nodes might still connect inward to you. With -connect it still uses IRC, do you think it shouldn't get on IRC when you're telling it to only connect to specific nodes with -connect? The main scenario for - connect is where you have a server farm, with two connected to the network and the rest connected to the first two. In that case, you wouldn't want the -connect computers on IRC. void ThreadIRCSeed(void* parg) { if (mapArgs.count("-connect")) return; Satoshi, would you be open to a --testnetwork (or something) flag to bitcoin that swapped to an alternate genesis block, data directory, listen port and IRC channel? Maybe with a really short average block generation time, too (like once per minute instead of once per 10 minutes) so everything happens ten times a fast to make testing quicker. I second this, however I don't think block generation time should be changed. I think it should be identical to the production network. This, for example, would allow testers to try to subvert the system by creating nodes with particularly low latency, and keep the results applicable to the real network. Great idea Gavin! submitted by /u/TheSatoshiTimes [link] [comments]

We don't appreciate enough how much incredible commerce gets unlocked with Bitcoin

COINS NEWS

There's a kind of deadweight loss that exists when an economic exchange can't be fully peer to peer, anonymous, or without a paper trail. We often focus a lot on how to replace normal fiat transactions, but there are so many cool, entirely new things you can do with BTC. Essentially, whenever you have reservations or artificial barriers in place for completing a transaction, Bitcoin enables a cut and dry value exchange minimizing or even erasing this deadweight loss. No tracking, no security leaks, no authority breathing down your neck, no middle man taking a cut or dictating terms, etc. First of all, you can buy things online without creating an account, sharing card info, etc. That in itself removes a pretty significant attack vector in case of data breaches. Several times my CCs have rejected random payments, whereas no one or nothing can stop me from paying a Lightning invoice. You can pay for completely private and encrypted AI inference, where no one but you sees your input / output. Other necessary privacy infra, especially VPNs which are seeing massive pressure from governments recently, can now be accessed more securely and anonymously. We have completely anonymous and censorship-free tipping, crowdfunding, etc. to prevent cancel culture or regulatory burdens from silencing controversial projects, individuals, protests, etc. While obtaining non-KYC Bitcoin is a challenge, Lightning is fairly private for payments. There are even better privacy solutions that integrate into Lightning as well, such as Fedimint or Cashu, although they have a temporary custodial tradeoff in order to achieve premium privacy. I think over time as we continue to build out the Bitcoin economy's infrastructure, more and more of these use cases will become apparent. I'm interested to hear others' thoughts on potential areas where paying with fiat is untenable, but would be viable with BTC. submitted by /u/lexicon_riot [link] [comments]

Browsercoin Dev Update: Fast sync! new users can start mining in seconds instead of ~20 minutes on a fresh device!

COINS NEWS

Hello everyone, I found this latest development in the Browsercoin Experiment quite interesting and wanted to share it with the community here. Until yesterday, opening browsercoin for the first time meant downloading and re-verifying the entire chain (~26,000 blocks) before you could mine. On a decent machine that was ~20 minutes of staring at a progress bar. That's now gone. What happens now when you open the site fresh: Your browser downloads just the block headers (~3.6 MB for the whole chain) and checks every one locally: the hash linkage back to genesis, the exact difficulty schedule, timestamp rules, plus spot-checked proof-of-work on a random sample. It fetches a compact snapshot of every balance and verifies it against the state commitment inside the header chain. Every block header commits to a fingerprint of the full ledger inside its proof-of-work so a fake snapshot would require redoing the chain's mining. No server is trusted at any point. You're synced and can mine. In testing this takes seconds usually well under a minute even on slower hardware. The full block history still downloads quietly in the background (you'll see a "history N%" pill in the top bar). Once it finishes, your tab is a complete archival node, exactly like before it can serve the chain to other browsers, show full history, everything. So the deal is: everyone is still a full node you just don't have to verify the entire history before your first hash. Verification that used to block you now happens behind you, and if anything ever fails the check, your node throws it all away and re-syncs from genesis the old way. Credit to pijemcolu for pushing on this the suggestion and it turned out the chain design already supported something stronger: verifying the snapshot immediately against proof-of-work. submitted by /u/swompythesecond [link] [comments]

The Dead-Key Alliance: Why Satoshi’s 1.1 Million Bitcoin Will Never Move

COINS NEWS

Disclaimer: I’m no expert—just someone with a simple theory to share. I used AI to help organize my thoughts and make this a smoother read. A Synthesis Theory: For over a decade, the greatest mystery of the digital age has been the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto and the fate of the 1.1 million Bitcoin (worth tens of billions) sitting entirely untouched in the genesis wallets. Two major documentaries—HBO's Money Electric (pointing to Peter Todd) and the data-driven film Finding Satoshi (pointing to Hal Finney and Len Sassaman)—have attempted to unmask the creator. Both left gaps. However, when you cross-reference their findings with strict cryptographic realities, a definitive answer emerges. Satoshi Nakamoto was not an individual with superhuman discipline. Satoshi was a small, brilliant team—and the world's largest crypto fortune is permanently trapped by the unyielding mathematics they created. Part 1: The Multi-Person Team (The Lineup) Bitcoin is too multi-disciplinary to have been built by a lone genius in a vacuum. It required mastery of academic whitepaper formatting, flawless network architecture, and complex C++ coding. The evidence points to a three-man team operating under a shared pseudonym: The Academic (Len Sassaman): A brilliant young cryptographer specializing in decentralized anonymity networks. Linguistic and "digital footprint" data science shows Sassaman’s writing style, timezone patterns, and academic prose perfectly match the 9-page Bitcoin whitepaper. The Coder (Hal Finney): A legendary software engineer who built the closest precursor to Bitcoin (Reusable Proof of Work). He possessed the world-class C++ capability needed to code the first version of the software and famously received the first-ever Bitcoin transaction. The Architect (The Surviving Member): A third early cypherpunk pioneer—likely someone like Adam Back (inventor of Hashcash) or Nick Szabo—who acted as an advisory sounding board during the conceptual phase. Part 2: The Cryptographic Dead Man's Switch If Satoshi was a single person who is still alive today, leaving tens of billions of dollars completely dormant requires an impossible, non-human level of restraint. The far more logical reality is that the wallet is mechanically inaccessible. To prevent any single creator from going rogue and stealing the fortune, the founding team almost certainly secured the 1.1 million BTC using a Multi-Signature (Multi-sig) wallet or a split private key. To sign a transaction and move the coins, it likely required the digital keys of all three members, or a minimum threshold (e.g., 2 out of 3). Tragedy naturally triggered an unbreakable lock: April 2011: Satoshi sends a final email to developers: "I’ve moved on to other things." July 2011: Len Sassaman tragically passes away at age 31. His private key fragment dies with him. August 2014: Hal Finney passes away after a long battle with ALS. A second vital key fragment is lost forever. The moment the team dissolved into history, the multi-sig structure became a mathematical vault. [ Satoshi Nakamoto Master Wallet ] │ ┌────────────┼────────────┐ ▼ ▼ ▼ [Len Sassaman] [Hal Finney] [Surviving Member] (Died 2011) (Died 2014) (Alive but ❌ ❌ Key Incomplete) │ │ │ └────────────┴────────────┘ │ ▼ [ WALLET PERMANENTLY BRICKED ] Part 3: The Trap of the Surviving Member If a third member of the Satoshi alliance is still alive today, they are trapped in a state of permanent paralysis: They cannot move the coins: Because their partners’ keys are buried in the grave, they cannot physically authorize a transaction to spend the 1.1 million BTC. They cannot claim the legacy: Even if they stepped forward to prove they were part of the team, doing so without the ability to move a single Satoshi coin would leave them exposed to extreme public scrutiny, target them by global intelligence agencies, and invite endless legal liability—all with zero financial reward. Conclusion: The Ultimate Irony Bitcoin was engineered to strip away the need to "trust" human beings, replacing human error with cold, unyielding mathematical certainty. The ultimate poetry of Bitcoin is that its creator’s hoard remains safe not because of human willpower, but because of the protocol's own design. The code did exactly what it was written to do: it locked out the unauthorized, even when the unauthorized were the creators themselves. Satoshi's coins are gone forever, and that is exactly why Bitcoin can live on. submitted by /u/OGPRESTAR [link] [comments]

North Carolina Governor signs HB 920, new rules for Bitcoin ATM kiosks — Effective January 1, 2027

COINS NEWS

Governor Josh Stein signed North Carolina House Bill 920 into law on July 8, 2026, after it passed the House 115–0 and the Senate 49–0 and was ratified July 2. One correction up front: the statute's actual name is the Virtual Currency Kiosk Consumer Protection Act, not a "Bitcoin" act, it covers any cash-to-crypto kiosk, not Bitcoin specifically. In practice, though, Bitcoin is what most of these machines trade, so this is the relevant read for anyone using a kiosk in NC. What changes, effective January 1, 2027: Daily transaction limits: $2,000 for new customers (first transaction within the past 30 days), $5,000 for existing customers. Aggregate fees, including spread, capped at 12%, current kiosk fees in the state reportedly run 20–30%, so this is a cut, not a hike. A 48-hour hold applies only to a customer's transactions made within their first seven days using a given operator. Mandatory interactive fraud-warning screens (10-second minimum display, yes/no scam check) before each transaction, plus a ban on QR-code/barcode login at kiosks. Kiosk operators must run blockchain analytics against the destination wallet address before releasing funds, and must hold a state money transmitter license under the Commissioner of Banks. Full refund for new customers, or fee refund for existing customers, if a transaction is reported within 30 days and the Commissioner rules it fraudulent. What it means for self-custody holders: this only touches the kiosk on-ramp/off-ramp — it doesn't touch self-custody, wallets, or on-chain activity directly. The more concrete friction is the wallet-address screening step and the 48-hour hold for first-week users. Cities and counties also keep their zoning authority, so some localities could still restrict kiosks even under this framework. Worth watching: New Jersey's SB 2141, which would ban kiosks outright rather than regulate them, has passed the full Senate and is sitting in an Assembly committee, not yet law. Indiana, Tennessee, and Minnesota have already enacted outright bans, so NC's regulate-rather-than-ban approach is currently the minority path among 2026 state actions.

A single phishing approval drained $999,999 in USDT this week. The habit that stops it

COINS NEWS

Scam Sniffer traced a wallet this week that lost $999,999 in USDT to a single phishing token approval on Ethereum. The first sweep overshot the balance and failed, so the script corrected itself and took the rest 36 seconds later. No seed phrase was stolen. The victim approved a token permission that looked routine. The pattern keeps repeating because people approve signatures they cannot fully read. Two habits help on any hardware wallet. Keep keys generated and stored offline, and verify the exact permission and amount on the device's own screen before signing. If you cannot read it, do not approve it. submitted by /u/ELLIPALWallet [link] [comments]

Wrench attacks on Bitcoin and crypto holders are up 75% in a year, and most victims now aren't even holders.

COINS NEWS

If you are into Bitcoin for a while, you know the "$5 wrench attack": forget breaking the encryption, just physically coerce the person until they hand over the keys. For years it was mostly a meme. In 2026 it is a fast-growing category of violent crime, and the profile of who gets hurt has quietly shifted. The numbers, from CertiK's Q1 2026 Wrench Attacks Report and French law enforcement (PNACO): These attacks rose 75% in 2025, then another 41% in Q1 2026 alone Europe now accounts for 82% of them worldwide, and France alone for 70%, roughly one attack every two and a half days More than $101M was extorted in just the first four months of 2026 And most striking: more than half of this year's victims held no crypto at all Price goes down but $5 dollar wrench attacks are going parabolic That last point is the one people miss: the victims are increasingly spouses, children and elderly parents of holders, targeted either as direct victims or as leverage. Your own operational security does not protect an elderly parent living 500km away or a kid at school in another city. And none of these relatives ever signed up to a crypto platform or consented to being in any database. Here is where policy makes it worse. Since January 2026, the EU's DAC8 directive forces crypto platforms to report each user's identity, home address, tax residence and full transaction history to tax authorities, including transactions with no relevance to any tax event. That data is then set to be automatically exchanged across all 27 member states starting in 2027. It is, functionally, a continent-wide map of who holds crypto, roughly how much, and where they live. The obvious objection is "government databases are secure." The recent track record says otherwise: A French tax official was jailed in January 2026 for selling home addresses and tax profiles to criminals, specifically targeting crypto investors In Italy, corrupt police exfiltrated over a million tax, police and bank records (the Equalize case) In 18 months, more than 100 million records of French citizens were compromised from state or contractor databases The Waltio breach (a French crypto tax platform) reportedly fed directly into at least three kidnappings So the question is not hypothetical. What happens when you take a dataset like that, tie real identities to crypto holdings and home addresses, and share it across every member state of the EU, at the exact moment physical attacks against holders and their families are accelerating?

Why aren’r we all buying a Long Perps position Kalshi/Robbinhood, and then buying that same Crypto currency as well? Isn’t that like a win-win for everyone? If we all do it, we could restore the value of Bitcoin, and we could win the Perps as well. If we needed to liquidate for some reason, we could sell our Long Perps position, and not the coin. This wouldn’t affect the value of the coin, and cause others to panic sell. I know Perps are new, and people are experimenting with it, but isn’t this a win-win?

Actual BTC vs Bitcoin ETF

COINS NEWS

Hi, 24M I would like to get some exposure to crypto and deciding whether to: - buy BTC through Coinbase/Kraken and transferring to cold wallet - buy BTC and leave in Coinbase/Kraken - buy a Bitcoin ETF like FBTC/IBIT Suppose a few things: - Intend to hold long term, think 20+ years - Do not really care about having “full ownership of the BTC”. I know people say “not your keys, not your coins” - Prefer to not have to physically own cold wallet, unless this form of exposure to crypto has the most likely chance of highest returns - if ETF, would be in brokerage and not tax advantaged account - Don’t need to buy on weekends or market after hours. Okay buying jsut during the week and DCA - Do not intend to do covered calls or anything like that - Assume Fidelity won’t go under in the next 20 years (I know it could) - I care about which has the most growth. Ultimately, I’m thinking about “is the juice worth the squeeze” for owning in cold wallet vs buying an ETF Would love for any advice you all may have submitted by /u/dabo54sweeney [link] [comments]

AI Abundance Sounds Familiar. Bitcoiners Have Heard This Story Before.

COINS NEWS

Silicon Valley has a new promise for the world. Artificial intelligence will create abundance. Productivity will explode. Scientific discovery will accelerate. Medical breakthroughs will arrive faster. Knowledge work will become dramatically cheaper and more efficient. Economic growth will surge. Humanity, we are told, is standing on the edge of an age of abundance unlike anything in history. Maybe they’re right. But if you’re part of the Bitcoin community, you’ve probably learned to become skeptical whenever someone claims that technology alone will solve economic problems. Bitcoiners have spent years questioning assumptions that much of the financial world simply accepted as fact. Unlimited money printing creates prosperity. Debt can grow forever. Asset inflation is a sign of economic health. Central planners can manage complex economies better than markets can. Time and again, Bitcoiners looked at these claims and asked a simple question: compared to what? The promises surrounding artificial intelligence deserve the same scrutiny. The reason is simple. We’ve heard this story before. During the 1990s and early 2000s, globalization and the internet were sold as humanity’s next great leap forward. Trade barriers were falling. The Cold War had ended. China was entering the global economy. Supply chains stretched across continents. The internet connected billions of people for the first time. Economists and political leaders spoke confidently about a future where efficiency, trade, and technology would make everyone wealthier. The argument sounded straightforward. Move production to wherever it can be done most efficiently. Lower costs. Increase productivity. Expand global trade. Everyone wins. In many ways, those predictions came true. Consumer electronics became dramatically cheaper. Clothing became cheaper. Access to information became almost free. A smartphone in your pocket contains more computing power than governments possessed a few decades ago. Global poverty fell significantly. Human beings genuinely became more productive and more technologically capable than any civilization in history. The abundance was real. Yet many people in developed economies experienced something very different from the promised future. Housing became more expensive. Healthcare became more expensive. Education became more expensive. Childcare became more expensive. Asset prices rose faster than wages. Stable middle-class jobs became less secure in many communities. For millions of people, the essentials of middle-class life moved further away even as televisions, computers, and consumer goods became cheaper every year. This wasn’t a failure of productivity. It was a question of distribution. The gains from globalization arrived. They simply didn’t arrive equally. Bitcoiners already understand this dynamic better than most people because they have spent years discussing how money moves through an economy. When central banks create new currency, that money does not arrive evenly across society. It enters through governments, banks, financial institutions, and asset markets. Those closest to the source of new money benefit first. Asset prices rise. Stocks rise. Real estate rises. Wages react more slowly. Savings lose purchasing power. Economists call this the Cantillon Effect. Bitcoiners simply call it reality. Now apply the same logic to artificial intelligence. Who owns the models? Who owns the data centers? Who owns the compute infrastructure? Who owns the robotics companies? Who owns the intellectual property? Who owns the energy infrastructure powering this new economy? If artificial intelligence dramatically increases productivity, where will those gains accumulate first? The answer appears obvious. The owners of productive AI assets will receive the benefits before everyone else. Just as those closest to the money printer benefited first during the fiat era, those closest to the intelligence infrastructure may benefit first during the AI era. This may become the biggest misunderstanding surrounding AI. People often assume that productivity automatically creates prosperity. History suggests otherwise. Imagine a company employing one thousand workers. Artificial intelligence allows that same company to produce the same output with one hundred employees. From an economist’s perspective, this is a tremendous success. Productivity rises. Costs fall. Profits increase. Consumers may benefit from lower prices. GDP rises. Investors celebrate. But from another perspective, nine hundred workers just lost bargaining power. The productivity gains still exist. The question is where they went. This is not a new problem. Mechanized farming reduced agricultural labor. Industrial factories reduced artisan labor. Computers reduced clerical labor. Automation reduced manufacturing labor. Every major technological shift creates winners and losers before society eventually adapts. The problem is that transitions often take decades. People do not experience economic change through GDP charts or productivity statistics. They experience it through mortgage payments, rent payments, grocery bills, and healthcare costs. An economy can be booming while households feel financially trapped. Both realities can exist at the same time. Bitcoiners have long argued that technology is naturally deflationary. Deflation simply means that productivity improvements allow more goods and services to be produced with fewer resources over time. A television that once cost several months of wages can now be purchased after a few days of work. A smartphone contains technologies that would have cost millions of dollars only a generation ago. Technology constantly pushes prices downward. Artificial intelligence may become the most deflationary technology humanity has ever created. Software development costs could collapse. Legal research costs could collapse. Design costs could collapse. Customer service costs could collapse. Medical diagnostics could become dramatically cheaper. Education could become more accessible and affordable than at any point in history. This creates a problem for debt-based monetary systems. Modern economies are built on continuous expansion of debt and credit. Governments, corporations, and households all rely on future growth to service existing obligations. Deflation makes debts harder to repay because money becomes more valuable over time rather than less valuable. Bitcoiners have discussed this tension for years. Artificial intelligence may accelerate it dramatically. If AI reduces labor demand while simultaneously lowering prices, political pressure for intervention will emerge quickly. Governments rarely tolerate high unemployment. Central banks rarely tolerate deflation. The likely response is not difficult to imagine. More government spending. More debt issuance. More monetary stimulus. More currency creation. Ironically, AI abundance may lead to more monetary intervention rather than less. The more productive machines become, the greater the pressure may become to preserve consumer purchasing power through monetary policy. This creates an unusual future. Machines become more productive. Goods become cheaper. Productivity rises. Yet currencies continue losing purchasing power as governments attempt to stabilize the transition. Bitcoiners understand this dynamic instinctively. Industrial capitalism relied on a relatively simple feedback loop. Workers produced goods. Workers earned wages. Workers purchased the goods they produced. Henry Ford famously paid workers enough to purchase the cars they built because production and consumption reinforced one another. Artificial intelligence may fundamentally challenge this relationship. If intelligence itself becomes abundant, what happens to labor markets built around selling intelligence? Software engineering. Accounting. Legal analysis. Marketing. Customer service. Financial analysis. Education. Many of the professions that defined the knowledge economy could become partially automated over time. This does not mean work disappears. History suggests new forms of work emerge. The question is timing. The people displaced during economic transitions are rarely comforted by promises that future generations will benefit from changes occurring today. Bitcoin may become increasingly important in this world for reasons that have little to do with speculation. As productivity accelerates, economies need a stable measuring stick. Fiat currencies constantly change in supply. Their purchasing power shifts over time. Their value reflects political incentives as much as economic fundamentals. Bitcoin operates differently. Its supply is fixed. Its issuance schedule is transparent. Its monetary policy cannot be altered to respond to political pressure. In a world experiencing rapid technological deflation alongside aggressive monetary expansion, scarce money may become more important rather than less important. The more abundant the world becomes, the more valuable scarcity becomes. Imagine a future where artificial intelligence can create books instantly, music instantly, movies instantly, software instantly, advertisements instantly, and images instantly. Intelligence becomes abundant. Creation becomes abundant. Digital content becomes effectively infinite. What becomes scarce? Trust becomes scarce. Authenticity becomes scarce. Human attention becomes scarce. Energy becomes scarce. Time becomes scarce. And money that cannot be printed becomes scarce. Bitcoin’s value proposition may actually strengthen in a world where almost everything else becomes easier to produce. This remains the central question surrounding artificial intelligence. Suppose AI creates extraordinary wealth. Who owns the productive assets? Who receives the profits? Who benefits first? History suggests these questions matter more than the technology itself. Globalization created abundance. The internet created abundance. Social media created abundance. Cloud computing created abundance. The question was never whether wealth was created. The question was where it accumulated. Bitcoiners are not anti-technology. Bitcoin itself is technology. Many Bitcoiners are among the earliest adopters of artificial intelligence tools and automation systems. The skepticism runs deeper than that. Technology changes what civilization can produce. Money determines how those gains move through society. The abundance promised by AI may be real. The productivity gains may be extraordinary. Medical breakthroughs may accelerate. Scientific progress may compound faster than at any point in history. But Bitcoiners have lived through enough monetary experiments to understand something important. Production is not distribution. Wealth creation is not wealth participation. An economy can become richer while citizens feel poorer. A society can become more productive while households become more financially fragile. These outcomes are not contradictions. History suggests they happen more often than we would like to admit. The promise of AI abundance sounds remarkably similar to the promise of globalization abundance. Both involve extraordinary increases in productivity. Both involve lower costs. Both involve technological transformation. Both promise rising prosperity. Perhaps this time the outcome will be different. Perhaps institutions will adapt. Perhaps the gains will spread more broadly. Perhaps abundance will become democratic. Bitcoiners are not rejecting that possibility. They are simply asking the question history taught them to ask: Who gets the abundance first? Because the answer to that question may determine whether artificial intelligence becomes humanity’s greatest prosperity engine or simply the most efficient wealth concentration machine ever created. Technology determines what is possible. Money determines who benefits. The coming decade may be the first time in history where humanity is forced to answer both questions at the same time. submitted by /u/elder-millennial5813 [link] [comments]

Sony gets conditional US trust bank nod for Dollar Stablecoins

COINS NEWS

Sony Bank received conditional approval to set up Connectia Trust as a US subsidiary capitalized at $40 million. I think their plan is to issue and manage dollar-denominated stablecoins, with early signals pointing toward payments in games and anime-related services. Full operations still require final regulatory clearance. I believe it could draw in users already comfortable with Sony’s entertainment and gaming products, since a familiar name might lower the barrier compared to standalone crypto apps. If the stablecoins integrate directly into those services, some spending that currently happens off-chain could move on-chain in those verticals. One path forward is that other consumer-facing brands watch the process and decide the regulatory route looks workable, leading to more similar setups over the next year or two. What else do you guys think would need to happen for wider adoption in actual spending? submitted by /u/Toriunderhill [link] [comments]

Is on-chain investigator a viable role to study for?

COINS NEWS

Hi, I live in Russia and want to move out of here, I don't have any education, I can save up and move to some Russian speaking countries, but I'll probably get stuck, while I am in Russia I have support network so I am self-studying for a few hours every day osint, programming and crypto, because AI(I know stupid, but I don't where else to ask) said that companies in crypto are more willing to hire juniors, plus while in Russia I can only receive payments in crypto, before I move if everything is playing right. Here's what I would like to ask about(I wrote following text as a message to another person, so I am sorry if I missed some details and something doesn't make sense): 1) How hard is to get junior position on this role? I want work that is remote and will give me enough funds to relocate(I do not expect some golden mountains, AI told me that 1500-2000 usd is reasonable expectations for junior role in this position) 2) Do employers usually expect relevant education, beside self-study knowledge? 3) Can you rate my plan of action? - at the same time I am currently learning progromming(python, data analytics), crypto(honestly somewhat lost for now I am reading up to 2nd chapter of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency and after I will be studying etherscan, arkham and other tools) and osint(for now I have finished cybermentor half of osint course and now I try to practice by doing some small exercises to develop osint mindset, but as soon as crypto knowledge will catch up I will mix crypto and osint practice and later when programming will catch up I will mix all three to build my portfolio in relevant to position aspect) and also AI advised to learn in the later half when I will learn solidly all topics to also learn regulatorics of crypto submitted by /u/Mental_Budget_5085 [link] [comments]

I used ETH to book my Uber from the airport after my card was denied once more.

COINS NEWS

When I arrived in a new nation, I had no local currency yet and had my card banned for the third time this trip, but I needed transportation. While I waited for my bag, I used ETH on my phone to purchase an Uber gift card using aceb. Before I reached the exit, I applied it to the app, so by the time I arrived outside, a ride was reserved. I've started holding a modest amount of ETH for just such circumstances.

Lets assume the Worst Case Scenario

COINS NEWS

After the events of October 10, 2025, we can now say with certainty that some Market Manipulation is already taking place within the Bitcoin market and crypto more broadly. That being said, Bitcoin is purpose built to resist central control by banks, governments, and other centralized regulators. If we can now view market manipulation as a new form of centralized control, it begs the question, can a technology be built into the tech stack of Bitcoin that directly fights the type of Market Manipulation being performed by Wall Street? Rather than asking the US government to make the manipulation illegal (they wont) can we make the manipulation almost impossible for them to perform by implementing some sort of technology that exposes when they are trying do it or disrupts the process?

How do you think about BTC’s opportunity cost?

COINS NEWS

I've been thinking about BTC’s opportunity cost. People can still be long-term bullish, but when AI stocks, gold, oil, or other trades are moving faster, it becomes harder to decide the portion to allocate to BTC. Holding can still make sense, especially as a core position, but there is a trade-off when other assets have clearer momentum. That is what I keep going back and forth on. I look at BTC on bydfi these days and realized I was comparing it against others with the same capital. How are you guys here reading BTC now?

DAC8 collects more data than fighting tax fraud requires, and the government databases it depends on already have a track record of leaking.

COINS NEWS

A bank reports your annual balance and the interest you earned, that's it. DAC8, the EU's crypto reporting directive, forces crypto platforms to report your identity, including your home address and date of birth, your tax residence, and your full transaction history: every acquisition, disposal, transfer, deposit and withdrawal, including transactions that have no relevance whatsoever to any tax event. Not even a bank is subject to this level of detail. Here's why that matters beyond principle. Government databases holding this kind of data do not have a clean track record: A DGFiP tax agent in Bobigny was jailed in January 2026 for selling home addresses and tax profiles to criminals, specifically targeting cryptocurrency investors In Italy, corrupt police officers accessed tax, police and bank databases and exfiltrated over a million records, resold or used for blackmail (the Equalize case, 2024-2026) Bulgaria's tax authority had the data of 5 to 7 million citizens, nearly its entire adult population, exfiltrated through what investigators called basic techniques In 18 months, more than 100 million records of French citizens were compromised from databases run by the French state or its contractors France's own privacy regulator logged 8,613 breach notifications in the last 12 months, roughly one every hour And when crypto-specific data leaks, it doesn't stay abstract: the Waltio breach (a French crypto tax platform) directly served at least three kidnappings, according to French authorities. That is the exact same category of database DAC8 now creates, at a scale French authorities themselves describe as up to 1000x larger, shared across 27 tax administrations instead of one platform. https://preview.redd.it/6rlkjrcl64ch1.jpg?width=2752&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e4f06cc6e02214a928237e6d84ef9d94e6bef150 The physical-risk numbers are trending the wrong way at the same time this rollout is happening: Wrench attacks (physical coercion to extract crypto) rose 75% in 2025, then another 41% in Q1 2026 versus Q1 2025. Europe now accounts for 82% of global crypto-related physical attacks, France alone for 70%. Over half of 2026 victims held no crypto at all, they were spouses, children or elderly parents of holders. $101M was extorted in just the first four months of 2026. https://preview.redd.it/calhsqk074ch1.png?width=1672&format=png&auto=webp&s=aad9a409ab2271bf1b362704325fdfe303ccd7e8 This is the proportionality argument we're now making in court. We've filed a legal challenge before France's Conseil d'État to annul the French decree implementing DAC8, arguing the scale of data collection exceeds what fighting tax fraud actually requires, and that concentrating this much identity-linked financial data in a database already proven leakable creates a security risk that outweighs whatever fraud it prevents. Full case, sources and figures on STOP DAC8: DAC8.COM Given this track record, is a shared 27-country database actually more secure than the status quo, or just a bigger target? submitted by /u/BullBitcoin_ [link] [comments]

For Designers: Tired of downloading the Bitcoin logo from random links?

COINS NEWS

I gave myself an impossible brief: Uniformise the B. ecosystem's main design assets and logo. I wanted to create the simplest, most basic, and complete resource of design assets for Bitcoin because I’m tired of downloading the same logo from random websites or creating SVGs from scratch. I wanted people to be able to find all the resources in one file (Figma & GitHub) and, as much as possible, standardise some components. There was no good solution, just a long chain and succession of trade-offs. It's like rebranding 10 brands at once; there is no choice that won't leave someone unsatisfied. The file is in “Beta” so you can review it. Hot topics: Bitcoin logo should be different (but really similar) to the B. currency symbol. It is already like that in many products, but I wanted to remark the difference I love the idea of talking only about Bitcoin and not Sats. I know the Bitcoin community spent effort on this, but personally I think we lost that battle. “I will zap you some sats” is already here, used commonly. I’m just trying to fix it by proposing a symbol for sats. I know there have been other proposals in the past, but I’m sceptical about that; too cryptic. Cashu currently has a very detailed, complex logo; I’m proposing a simplified, more banal version. I also proposed a logo for Ark. Main questions: Should I keep my proposal for Cashu or the old version? I would like to avoid Nostr and Cashu having different colours in the negative version; should I go with white, or do you have any other suggestions? Does anyone know if the DLC project is still on and how to get the vector logo? Are there any logos or technologies missing that are important to add? No wallets, only technology logos. Any missing version of the logo that you think important to include? Should I also include the most popular wallet in V2? https://www.figma.com/design/icmH1QEg9lFtj9pgW9D3tl/Bitcoin-ecosystem--logos-and-design-kit?node-id=0-1&t=h0ci1j2j6LcjshmE-1 submitted by /u/CompleteTeaching720 [link] [comments]

I started accepting crypto donations for my open source project and want to build a tool from what I learned in the process (looking for feedback)

COINS NEWS

Hello, I'm the maintainer of a few OSS projects. My most popular tool (called Termix, website, and mobile app) has over 14k GitHub stars and 10M+ Docker pulls. A few months ago, I started accepting crypto donations for that project (BTC, ETH, and SOL), and since then, I've started digging into the field of crypto as a whole. I've been looking into wallet monitoring, webhooks, all for the purpose of notifying me when I've been donated to. My idea: A free app (website/mobile app) that sends you a push notification any time you get sent crypto to a wallet address you are watching. This would be aimed at people like me, OSS maintainers, streamers, anyone taking donations, who just want to know the second that they've received a donation. Of course, services like this already exist such as cryptocurrencyalerting.com. However, there has yet to be (from what I've seen, correct me if I'm wrong) a single service that is account-less and free. The plan is to keep it free and fund it through donations; more donations unlock more chains where I can self-host my own nodes to feed the notifications. Initially, the app will just be fed from QuickNode since I believe that will cover the initial user base, but as I gain more users and donations, I will begin self-hosting nodes for different networks, which would allow me to keep the app free. Before I sink time into building it, I wanted to check if this is something that would be actually useful to people or if it already exists and I've missed it. What are your thoughts?

Close to a million investors of the Trump memecoin lost a collective $3.8 billion, even as the president disclosed $636 million in earnings

COINS NEWS

President Donald Trump has raked in hundreds of millions of dollars from his signature cryptocurrency while his supporters have largely been left holding the bag, according to a report. Of the 1.48 million wallets that bought the $TRUMP memecoin since it launched just three days before Trump’s second inauguration last year, about 66%, or 988,905 wallets, had lost money by the end of June. According to data from blockchain analytics firm Nansen, the combined losses were $3.81 billion, reported the New York Times. The losses are stark given that President Trump has claimed large profits from the token, which sports a picture of him with his fist in the air and the words “Fight, Fight, Fight,” in reference to the Butler, PA attempted assassination attempt in 2024. According to the president’s most recent financial disclosures, he had pocketed $636 million from the $TRUMP memecoin alone.

digital btc watch

COINS NEWS

Hi everyone, I’ve spent a lot of time engaging with Bitcoin over the past five years, and now I want to make my own contribution to the space. After consuming countless podcasts, books, and so on, I found myself going deeper and deeper down the "time" rabbit hole—exploring the nature of time and its fundamental importance in the financial world and our society at large (calendars). Alongside my fascination with Bitcoin, I have a passion for watches, and I’d like to combine the two. I want to create the first digital Bitcoin wristwatch. I’d like to base the design on the Casio A168WA. It would display the block height, the time until the next block, and the current epoch. My question for you all is: would you wear or buy a watch like this? Or am I the only one? Thanks! EDIT 1: Thanks for the feedback—that’s awesome! To be honest, I thought I’d get completely torn apart here, but it looks like there are actually a few people interested. So, I’d like to go into a bit more detail and address your objections and questions :) In my post, I mentioned that I wanted to base the design on the Casio A168W. That’s only half the story, though; I actually want to model the design after the Omega Equinoxe. In other words, a "Reverso"-style watch: a simple yet elegant analog dial on the front, and a display on the back showing the block height, epoch, and other details. (Since I’m right at the beginning of this idea, I mentioned the Casio because I already have some concepts for how I could "quickly" build a watch like that for myself.) To clarify how the Casio would work: it would naturally display the standard time, but you could switch between the different display modes by pressing the bezel. Regarding the design, I wouldn't put a Bitcoin symbol on it; the watch should be something like a gadget—or ideally, an artifact—for Bitcoiners. It should be wearable without being immediately recognizable to the uninitiated—sort of a "quiet luxury" vibe. Another idea, to align with the general Bitcoin ethos, was to sell the watch for a fixed BTC price that never changes. This way, early adopters benefit... plus, it would allow the purchase block to be permanently stored on the watch and retrieved later. (I know this borders on a "measuring contest," but I’d think it was cool to see exactly when the watch was bought—and having proof of ownership is common in the watch community, something the blockchain handles perfectly.) First and foremost, though, I’d aim to build an MVP; these are just general ideas I’d love to get feedback on—including, or especially, negative feedback! Thanks, guys! :D submitted by /u/No-Recommendation781 [link] [comments]

Revolut + Lightning: why 35 million new "Lightning users" is not the good news everyone thinks it is

COINS NEWS

Revolut just announced Lightning integration via Lightspark for UK and European users. 35 million people will soon use Lightning. The Bitcoin media is celebrating. I think we should slow down. Here's what Revolut is actually doing: NOT giving you a Lightning node NOT giving you channel keys NOT giving you any sovereignty It's custodial Lightning. Revolut holds the keys, manages the channels, can freeze your funds, and reports every payment to regulators. It's a bank account with Lightning rails. The real comparison nobody publishes: Revolut Lightning vs Self-Custodial LND: Key custody: Revolut vs YOU KYC: mandatory vs none Fund freezing: anytime vs impossible Privacy: zero vs strong (Tor) Routing fees: Revolut keeps vs you keep Sovereignty: none vs complete There are things the Revolut integration does validate: Lightning works at scale, network liquidity grows, Lightning Addresses get normalized.

From Ancient Trade to Bitcoin: A Brief History of Money

COINS NEWS

I’ve made another attempt at writing an article. If you’re interested in a quick history of money or curious about what trade looked like before money existed (spoiler: it wasn’t actually based on simple barter, despite the common myth), you might find it interesting. The article covers the evolution of money from the earliest forms of trade all the way to Bitcoin. You can read it here: https://stdout.ondran.com/en/history-of-money I’d really appreciate any feedback, whether it’s about the content, writing style, or anything else.

Help with Migrating LTC from Exodus to Cake Wallet - Derivation Paths

COINS NEWS

Hello, I have been troubleshooting this for hours and cannot figure it out. Hoping someone smarter than me can help. I am trying to migrate from Exodus to Cake Wallet. When I use my seed phrase, Cake Wallet recognizes all of my assets except my Litecoin. Some research tells me they use different derivation paths - Cake Wallet uses m/84'/2'/0 and Exodus uses m/44'/2'/0'/0/0. Does this mean that they are entirely incompatible, or is there a way to import the wallet using the private key? I tried this but I can't figure out exactly what key(s) to put into Cake Wallet.

Honest question: CRO potential or no?

COINS NEWS

Years ago I started to invest a big portion of my savings into CRO because I started using their crypto card for cashback. Since then it never went up more than 0.20 and always fell back to this level. Imo there could be big potential like the own currency from Binance. But even though they lowered the stake rewards, it never made it back to almost one dollar and slowly I’m losing my hopium. Is there anyone else investing in it and can tell me if it’s worth it or should I change to something different. submitted by /u/Itchy-Acanthaceae841 [link] [comments]

Crypto made my web app possible - a real use case for crypto

COINS NEWS

For a lot of people, crypto is still mostly speculation and scams. For me, it has solved a core business problem. openrender.app exists because crypto made it possible to build a platform that can accept payments without a long onboarding process, meeting Visa and Mastercards arbitrary naughty list, and settle funds for expensive compute instantly. Traditional payment processors basically refused onboarding for uncensored NSFW image and video generation. When a platform touches that kind of content, a lot of normal payment rails just won’t support it, which makes it tough to build anything sustainable. What crypto gave me: A way to serve users globally. Instant settlement for compute-heavy service costs. A low fee path for small-value transactions and top-ups. No strict payment processor requirements. OpenRender is still a work in progress, but crypto was one of the reasons it could get off the ground at all. Without it I would not have been able to take any payments, and would be stuck wrestling with "high risk" merchant accounts. Curious how other founders here are using crypto for actual product infrastructure instead of just fundraising/speculation. Honestly, OpenRender probably wouldn’t exist in its current form without crypto. One major drawback: a lot of people simply have a habit of using cards, and are scared to touch crypto. For those users, I serve them via Thirdweb which does FIAT to crypto on ramping automatically - the issue is it's clunky and not particularly smooth. Does anyone know of a similar product to Thirdweb, where the customer pays by card and I get crypto? submitted by /u/-Baloo [link] [comments]

EBRD and EU back URECA’s Coal-to-Solar project in Mongolia. Data stored on Blockchain

COINS NEWS

In Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, families who live in ‘gers’ (Mongolian yurts central to the nomadic way of life) wake throughout the night in winter to feed their stoves coal: at 01.00, 03.00, and again before dawn, just to survive freezing temperatures. The very fuel that keeps them warm also makes the city one of the most polluted capitals in the world, with each household on average responsible for 12 to 13 tonnes of carbon emissions. URECA is a climate tech startup whose pilot Coal-to-Solar Initiative project pairs technology with carbon finance to direct capital into scalable, high-impact climate solutions while supporting low-income households to transition to clean energy and tackling severe air pollution. They propose a new technology designed to restore trust and credibility in climate finance, making it more accessible to communities.

What happened to Cardano/ADA?

I keep seeing a lot of discussion about "Cardano/ADA is dead" over the past two weeks. I used to hold it check its price and movement on bydfi again. So just share my non-professional takes on why it lost momentum. Curious to hear what others think. Price is doing real damage. ADA falling to multi-year lows makes it harder for people to stay patient, even if they still like the tech. Adoption still feels weak. A lot of people expected more visible apps, users, stablecoin activity, or ecosystem growth by now. Governance has become harder to ignore. The failed Cardano Summit funding vote and broader community arguments make the project feel less coordinated. Some ecosystem signals look rough. When tools or projects shut down, it adds to the feeling that momentum is fading. Not saying Cardano is dead at all, but “slow and steady” is becoming harder to defend. Curious how active ADA traders/holders see it. submitted by /u/Choice_Employee_7739 [link] [comments]

Here’s Why Strategy Sold $216M Worth of Bitcoin

COINS NEWS

By now, we have seen the historic news of Saylor’s Strategy selling $216M in Bitcoin. Some of you may be shocked, or confused as this contradicts his promise to “never sell your Bitcoin”. I broke down the mechanics in a full analysis, figuring out why Strategy unfortunately has to do so, here's the short version. STRC (Stretch) is Strategy’s preferred stock, designed to provide investors with a steady cash dividend while giving Strategy additional capital to purchase more Bitcoin. Strategy's STRC preferred stock is supposed to trade near $100 (its "par" value), defended by Strategy raising or lowering its dividend rate. In April, STRC broke that parity and kept falling, hitting an all-time low of $71.25 in June. Strategy hiked the rate to fix it (11.50% to 12.00%), and price partially recovered to the high $80s, but still below par. The problem: Without STRC being at par, Strategy cannot effectively raise further funds to buy BTC Since STRC is still below par, Strategy is going to have to raise rates further and this would put further strain on Strategy’s cash reserve. A reserve which back in May, for unrelated reasons actually dropped below its own 12-month safety minimum. To rebuild their cash reserve, they had to raise capital and part of that rebuild unfortunately meant selling $216M in Bitcoin. The real insight is what’s next, Strategy is currently authorized to sell up to $1.25B for this purpose of funding dividend payments. They have used $216M of that (17%) but STRC is still trading below par (~$88 as of writing), so this pressure hasn’t gone away. Nothing's confirmed, but I wouldn't be surprised if we see more sales.

Focus on blockchain tech

COINS NEWS

Why we need to focus on tech again: Cause in tech there is no dilution. There are only a handful of altcoins, whos blockchain can pull off serious tech. E.g. SUI, ICP, TAO, etc. I would even say, all the goat blockchains are alright and there is enough liquidity for everyone. Just consider how much liquidity we wasted on pushing new people into memecoin scams: e.g. Trump, Melania, Wif, Bonk, Mother, Turbo, Pepe, Wojak, Pengu, Fartboi, etc. (all centralized memecoin scams) The list of fake-crypto (memecoins) is never ending and it cost us credibility and only enriched the already rich. Memecoins are the most anti crypto thing imagineable and can be seen like a destructive virus. I go that far to say elon musk endorsed dogecoin to start a destructive virus for crypto, cause he wanted to destroy what he cannot own. If our narrative goes back to serious tech, all problems of dilution are solved in an instant. You cannot dilute something of value and what is hard to create. That's why we all need to work together and push the narrative of tech. Wagmi. Long live blockchain tech. ???? submitted by /u/Timely-Fig2030 [link] [comments]

Built a free tool that scores whether an Ethereum address is already quantum-harvestable

COINS NEWS

Been thinking about the post quantum migration for a while and built a small tool that scores exposure risk for any Ethereum address. How it works: every ECDSA signed transaction reveals the signer's public key on chain. Once you have sent one transaction from an address, that public key is on chain permanently. If a sufficiently capable quantum computer arrives, it can derive the private key from that public key using Shor's algorithm. The tool takes any EVM address or ENS name and returns: - Whether the public key is already on chain (exposed) - The value at risk - How long the exposure has existed - A 0 to 100 exposure score Read only. No wallet connection. No signup. claak.io/scan Vitalik.eth is prefilled as a demo. The scanner is free and standalone. Full disclosure: I contribute to Claak, but this post is about the scanner as an open piece of crypto tooling for the community. Google's March paper cut the qubit threshold to roughly 1,152 logical qubits. Eigen Labs' open ecdsa.fail benchmark is past Google. NSA has set 2030 as the migration deadline. Happy to walk through methodology if anyone is curious. What score did you get on your main address? submitted by /u/Funky_Chicken_22 [link] [comments]

most altcoin mistakes start before the chart goes red

COINS NEWS

A lot of people treat altcoin risk like it starts when price drops. I think it usually starts earlier, when you buy something without knowing what would make you exit. If the plan is only "hold until it pumps", every update becomes emotional. A partnership rumor feels bullish. A team delay becomes "still early". A big unlock becomes "priced in". The thesis keeps changing because there was never a real one. The simplest filter I like is asking 3 things before buying. What would prove this idea wrong? What would make me sell even if price is up? What would make me hold even if price is down? If those answers are vague, the position is probably too big or too narrative driven. Not saying every coin needs a 20 page thesis. But if you cannot name the exit conditions, you are not really investing. You are just waiting for the market to decide for you. submitted by /u/CODE_HEIST [link] [comments]

What do you think about edge wallet?

COINS NEWS

It seems to me to be a good middle ground between a custodial wallet and a non custodial wallet where you have to protect and backup your own seed. The app encrypts your password locally and stores it on their servers so you have recovery options while not giving the company access to your funds. Heres their whitepaper: https://edge.app/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Edge-White-Paper-01-22-2019.pdf?af=edge-app-wp-admin-post-php&af=google-com I guess the risk is the company could brute force the passwords? Or someone hacks them, but theyd likely find out before the hackers could brute force a significant amount of the passwords? How long would it take to brute force AES 256 encrypted passwords? They've been around for years but I dont hear much about them, and Id like to hear some opinions. I saw a thread earlier that got closed early, perhaps because it looked like a promotional post.

The $6+ Trillion Retirement Shift

COINS NEWS

TLDR: This is an AI summary of the following link. https://archive.is/RESsh I came across an article that most people in the Bitcoin community should probably pay attention to—not because it’s directly about Bitcoin, but because it’s about where trillions of dollars are quietly moving. A growing share of Americans’ 401(k) retirement savings is being shifted from traditional mutual funds into Collective Investment Trusts (CITs). Here’s why that matters: CITs now hold trillions of dollars in retirement assets. They often have lower fees, which is a good thing for investors. But they also operate with less public transparency than mutual funds. There is no single regulator overseeing the entire market, and even experts disagree on exactly how large it is or how all the money is allocated. Because CITs have fewer restrictions than mutual funds, they’re increasingly being viewed as the preferred vehicle for adding private equity, real estate—and potentially Bitcoin exposure—to retirement accounts if regulations continue moving in that direction. Whether you’re bullish or bearish on Bitcoin, this is worth understanding because the structure that holds retirement money can shape where trillions of investment dollars are eventually allowed to flow. I’m not posting this to argue that CITs are good or bad. Lower fees are valuable, but transparency also matters. My takeaway is that Bitcoin investors often focus on ETFs, corporate treasuries, and nation-state adoption, while overlooking the retirement system—the largest pool of long-term investment capital in the United States. If Bitcoin is ever broadly adopted inside retirement plans, it’s likely to happen through these kinds of investment vehicles rather than people opening accounts and buying BTC themselves. Curious what everyone else thinks: Is this a positive evolution because it reduces costs? Or does the reduced transparency create unnecessary risks? And how significant could this be for Bitcoin adoption over the next decade? submitted by /u/Reasonable_Band1536 [link] [comments]

Paid crypto indicators, signals, and influencers-Is it all a scam?

COINS NEWS

I see so many influencers pushing magic indicators, exclusive VIP signal groups, and trading bots lately. To me, it feels like a total scam. If these strategies actually worked consistently, the creators wouldn’t need to charge for them, they’d be busy making money with their own capital instead of grinding for subscription fees. Has anyone here actually paid for these? Did you get any real return, or was it just a waste of money? submitted by /u/foxxx8 [link] [comments]

???????? France logs 77 crypto kidnappings and extortions in 6 months (+71% vs 2025), government unveils new security plan

COINS NEWS

In March, a couple in their sixties get tied up in their own home in Le Chesnay (Yvelines) by three men posing as police officers. At knifepoint, the husband is forced to transfer €900,000 in Bitcoin. In February, the head of Binance France narrowly avoids an armed break-in at his home in Paris, the three attackers flee empty-handed after failing to find him there. These aren't isolated incidents. France's Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez announced on June 30 that the country has recorded 77 kidnappings, extortions, and attempted attacks tied to the crypto sector since January, up from 45 for all of 2025. For scale: according to data compiled by Jameson Lopp, France alone recorded 19 "wrench attacks" in 2025, more than double the total in the US, and over a quarter of all documented cases worldwide. The numbers from the minister: 200 people arrested over the past year, "either after the fact or preemptively" 724 holders and industry figures registered on the immediate identification platform (a direct emergency hotline), up 11% year-over-year One case cited: in the Somme, on June 26, perpetrators were arrested just 8 hours after the incident, after the victim used this hotline The new plan, described as "more ambitious," rests on three pillars: Stronger intelligence sharing to identify criminal networks, some of whose organizers operate from abroad Expanded partnership with ADAN (France's digital asset industry association), including a new expert network bringing together industry and state agencies Stronger operational and international coordination with the countries where organizers are based On that last point, Nuñez gave a concrete example: after the arrest in Morocco, in June 2025, of a French-Moroccan suspect accused of ordering a string of kidnappings, including that of Ledger co-founder David Balland, kidnapped in January 2025 and freed in a raid by France's GIGN tactical unit, the wave of attacks stopped abruptly, overnight. Other notable 2026 cases: in April, a family of five was extorted for €700,000. One technical detail explains in part why Bitcoin holders specifically get targeted: unlike a bank transfer, a Bitcoin transaction signed under duress is irreversible: impossible to block or reverse once it's broadcast to the network. That completely changes the risk/reward calculation for attackers compared to a traditional robbery. And you, what security measures do you take as Bitcoin Hodlers? submitted by /u/The_Bitcoin_Act [link] [comments]

What ENS just proved about every crypto DAO

COINS NEWS

does decentralized governance in DAOs really work? this is an almost existential-level question on the realities of one of crypto’s most core toolings, and it’s being put to the test by what’s happening with the Ethereum Name Service DAO lately. if you’ve heard buzz around the drama surrounding ENS lately but couldn’t be bothered to keep up, I explain! https://youtu.be/_du0qCXCix4 but broadly: a Temp Check hit the ENS forum last week proposing to move operations, grants, and treasury management out of constant token votes and into a five-seat professional board at the ENS Foundation, with one seat reserved for founder Nick Johnson. token holders keep protocol control and the power to remove directors, and the Foundation can't vote its own treasury tokens. two onchain moves landed around the same time: Johnson self-delegated close to half of all active voting power in ENS governance, and a brand-new wallet with no public identity received ~200k ENS traced back to ENS Labs, instantly becoming the second-largest delegate. Lefteris Karapetsas (rotki) says it looks like coordinated preparation to swing the vote. Katherine Wu, the proposal's lead author, says a board with teeth is professionalization, and a founder holding his tokens is exactly what we ask founders to do. every DAO eventually hits this wall. full-token voting is slow and exhausting, but the moment someone tries to fix it is also the moment concentrated voting power matters most. i put together a ~4 minute breakdown covering the proposal, the wallet trail, and posing the ultimate question: when a decentralized community needs to change how it makes decisions, who gets to decide what that change looks like when all else has seemingly failed? https://youtu.be/_du0qCXCix4 super curious to hear this subreddit's thoughts on DAO governance! what are the successful examples? is ENS bound to be an example of a failure in decentralized governance? or is what ENS is doing necessary for the growth of the protocol? -------------------------------- if we're meeting for the first time — hi ???? i built this channel to spread the good word on good work in crypto. a like, a comment, and a sub on my channel goes a long way to supporting my work :) submitted by /u/haochizzle [link] [comments]

Saylor sold 3,588 BTC this morning and the "never sell" crowd needs a new mascot

COINS NEWS

in may it was 32 coins they said relax it’s symbolic. this morning its 3,588 coins worth $216 million to fund dividends on preferred stock that compounds whether btc goes up or down. five series of perpetual preferred stock carrying $750-800M in annual dividend obligations, obligations that don’t pause for bear markets and dont care about average cost basis so dont respond to tweets about $21 million btc price targets. strategy bought at an average of $75,699 per coin and btc is at $62K ,basically they are underwater on cost basis and selling into weakness to service debt. Saylor's argument in may was that selling 32 coins kept credit market confidence intact which funded buying 175,000 new coins (clean logic in a bull market lol) but harder to run when you are trading below the NAV of your own holdings and the preferred dividend clock keeps ticking. people who built the copycat treasury model like the korean media company that bought 10k btc now holds zero, the dozen other nasdaq listed companies that ran the saylor playbook with less runway are watching this morning's filing carefully. owning btc directly and owning a leveraged company that owns btc are not the same and never were. submitted by /u/Hashirama_2001 [link] [comments]

Saylor just sold 3,588 BTC for $216 million. "Never sell" is officially a retired slogan

COINS NEWS

3,588 BTC sold this morning by the person who invented HODLing for corporations. Saylor broke "never sell" in may with 32 coins as we though but he again sold this morning with 3,588 coins and a $216 million filing. while 32 coins was a proof of concept to show the market the mechanism works, maintain confidence so now 3,588 coins is a quarterly dividend payment. Strategy's preferred stock obligations run $750-800 million annually,btc is at $62K against an average purchase price of $75,699 and the equity premium that let them raise cheap capital has inverted into a disc. The model that worked elegantly at $100K btc is running on fumes at $62K lol. The irony is that saylor understood the self custody argument better than almost anyone and spent years explaining why holding bitcoin through any intermediary like an exchange, an ETF, a corporate wrapper introduces counterparty risk that direct ownership doesnt have but he just bet that his corporate wrapper was different because conviction. It wasnt diif but leverage and leverage without a timeline is just a margin call waiting for the right price. Direct btc on bitpanda,binance or a cold wallet doesn't have a preferred dividend structure or five series of perpetual obligations.Sometimes boring is just correct Is 3,588 coins a one quarter event or does this file every quarter until btc recovers above $75K? submitted by /u/Personal_Brilliant39 [link] [comments]

MiCA-Compliant And Truly Yours: The Lightning Debit Card Changing Bitcoin Payments In Europe

COINS NEWS

Wavespace, a Bitcoin neobank serving the Eurozone, has announced MiCA compliance of its ‘self-custodial’ debit card. The young fintech company is at the cutting edge of Bitcoin payments technology in Europe, with support for the Lightning Network, and auto DCA to self-custody. Debit cards in the Bitcoin and broader crypto industry have traditionally worked by preloading custodial accounts with bitcoin or stablecoins. The process of preloading was usually on-chain, taking time to settle and requiring manual input from the user to send from self-custody wallets or cold storage. If the preloaded balance ran out on the card, spending would not be possible. Wavespace’s self-custody debit card solves these problems with a novel Bitcoin technology called Nostr Wallet Connect, or NWC for short. This protocol, documented in NIP-47, allows users to connect a service like this debit card to a self-hosted Lightning node. The user sets a minimum balance, say $200 and every time the user spends from the card via the VISA network, Wavespace pulls sats from the user’s self-custodial wallet to top up the card. This process minimizes custodial exchange risk while maximizing user exposure to the asset and automating away the friction to spend bitcoin. NWC is a technology developed by the Nostr ecosystem, a high-tech niche within the Bitcoin industry that is branching out into social media and other communication protocols. As a high-tech neobank, Wavespace gives users a personal IBAN account, which they can send fiat to, to purchase Bitcoin. Their automated DCA services can be set to withdraw bitcoin upon purchase to a selected Bitcoin address. The company is MiCA compliant, making it one of the few surviving Bitcoin exchanges in Europe, as the complicated crypto regulations came online. On the privacy front, the deep Lightning network integration of Wavespace lets user get access to the banking system in a clear and compliant manner, without exposing all their payment data on the Bitcoin blockchain. Since Lightning payments are off-chain, there is no single public record that leaks user data; instead, transactions move through payment channels between various user services, leaving no obvious public trace. The result is a growing compromise between the high privacy, cypherpunk values that created the Bitcoin and crypto industry, while also unlocking access to the legacy financial system, and compliant integration with regulation-heavy areas like Europe. In an interview with Bitcoin Magazine, Eivydas Račkauskas, Chief Orange Pill Giver at Wavespace, said that 70% of the payments made on the platform use the Lightning Network and that the company is looking into the ARK protocol for further self-custody-oriented payments integrations. He also revealed that the company is integrated with Lightspark and is ready for an expansion into the USA, though he did not reveal further details on the matter. Wavespace has been almost entirely bootstrapped and self-funded, according to Račkauskas, except for an early Relai angel investor who supported them in 2025. They are currently in the middle of another fundraising round. submitted by /u/TheresNoSecondBest [link] [comments]

Hey everyone, I've acquired BTC from June 2025 - March 2026 and been saving up USDC per month to deploy into BTC more aggressively on a nice dip.

Is this plan reasonable

COINS NEWS

Recently went through a major reset financially. Got laid off and had to make a choice, decided to sell my home which was in a place I was sick of, which needed repairs. Started paying down debts faster. Also started saving up for a down payment for a modest home later on. So I am being very cautious and trying to prioritize the right things. But for now I have been keeping up with my DCA as well with extra cash I have on hand from work, or selling items I no longer need. I am currently somewhat in BTC and alts, but am awaiting a better entry for BTC. For a while I thought I was too late for BTC. In 2018 I lost a bunch on the ICO craze because of lack of research. I decided I would try one more time with crypto, specifically BTC and a bit of alts. I'm not looking to go too crazy into BTC right off the bat. My primary lump sum entry might be around .1 - but what I'm wondering is, would it be a crazy plan to just do this, continue DCA and lump sum or DCA back out during peak years? I figured I can keep a rolling BTC fund in BTC/cash and keep up with the cycles. Though many say the cycles are done for. My idea was to basically treat BTC as upside through this method and keep this up until perhaps I can retire early, through following the TA on where we are in the cycles, perhaps for the next ten years or so. I have a fairly modest income and I don't spend on frivolous things. Only necessities, improving my credit and investing. If I get into another home, I don't want to be like a lot of people are in the sense of treating their home as their retirement nest egg. I would like to get a home I can afford easily and pay off faster than normal. As well as grow actual investments not based on a utility such as housing. I see BTC as part of a diversified portfolio that I think I should have instead of putting everything into a home. That way I don't have to work until I am 60, 70, 80. But, I am a single person without kids so it's possible my priorities are a bit unique. I would like to hear ideas or feedback :-) thank you submitted by /u/ScrotusAmongus [link] [comments]

SLOWLEAK WHITEPAPER

Guys I am a nobody looking to start a crypto currency trading company in which the user hires themselves and contributes 10% of their earnings to the company....here is my Whitepaper. Is this INCREDIBLE GENIUS...OR INCREDIBLY DUMB SlowLeak: A crypto currency company designed with a reverse hiring process in mind. Each user of SlowLeak actually chooses the company and essentially hires themselves with a standard $100 pot to begin free of charge. The $100 pot is provided to the signee as they join the company with a 10% pool peg which is 10% of all trades you make in the future going to SlowLeak provided the fact that you use our free $100 pot to start your trading. ANYONE can sign up and get the free $100 dollars to trade with granted they only can cash out the profits they make AFTER the $100 dollar - 10% pool peg for example : Say a trader who signs up for SlowLeaks $100 trading account, starts to trade with the $100 starter sum and 10x's the account to 1,000, In doing so that trader makes 900 dollars without needing a dime to start and also SlowLeak profits $100 dollars or 10% of essentially " infinite " profits while only ever ever risking $100 per account.

CoinCurrently has a new face

COINS NEWS

I've been working on CoinCurrently for almost 6 years at this point. After 4 years I felt really stuck and kind of realized that I won't get much further alone so I made a post on Reddit that I was looking for a designer. I found a guy and once we started revamping the app, we realized that there's so much more we want to do and that requires a better backend. Doing both the iOS and Android app, I figured we need a dedicated guy for backend. The team grew to 3 people. After almost a year and a half, we finally finished revamping the entire app. It's now better looking, easier to use and is faster than ever. Free, no ads, no tracking. It's all on your device. I'm really proud to show the new CoinCurrently to the world. I would appreciate your feedback so we can continue to make it a better app iOS: CoinCurrently iOS Android: CoinCurrently Android Web: CoinCurrently Web submitted by /u/barcode972 [link] [comments]

Getting into electrum wallet of a deceased relative

COINS NEWS

For starters, I know nothing about bitcoin. I had a wealthy relative who passed away suddenly and I ended up with their computer. I knew that they were investing in bitcoin and on the computer there was "electrum" which i found out was a bitcoin wallet. There is a note app with what I believe to be a long recovery code? I also have the name of the wallet. I assume these things are pretty difficult to get in to if you are not the owner of the wallet, for obvious reasons lol. But I'm wondering, how possible would it be to get into it, if possible at all? EDIT: I have been able to access the wallet now! Thank you everyone for your help :) submitted by /u/Ok-Maintenance-2470 [link] [comments]

Volume down Btc up

COINS NEWS

This looks pretty interesting to me. I think this is just a bear market move, and inexperienced traders are suddenly starting to open long positions without paying attention to the data. It might even go up to $70k, but I don't think it'll go any higher than that. Personally, I'm expecting Bitcoin to drop to around $48,300–$55,000. That's where I'll be buying more BTC. I already bought some at $58k, but I was expecting an even lower price, so I still have some cash set aside. This is not financial advice—I'm simply sharing my own analysis. submitted by /u/KeyOil5506 [link] [comments]

Now that the NYSE is seeking to deploy a blockchain trading platform, is it fair to say no coiners have lost the plot and the argument?

COINS NEWS

Both the nasdaq and NYSE are moving towards blockchain. This isnt speculation. Just last March, the SEC granted nasdaq permission to choose to settle on blockchain. Last December the SEC gave Depository Trust Co permission to begin handling tokenized transactions, The NYSE is seeking approval to build a seperate blockchain based trading platform for 24/7 trading, settling trades instantly instead of one business day.

What do you use bitcoin for?

COINS NEWS

Does everyone here just buy bitcoin in the hope that it increases over time? Or does anyone actually use bitcoin to pay for things or to transfer funds between friends as a form of payment etc? I don't hold any bitcoin myself but i really like the idea of it i.e. as a decentralised payment system. The problem is, it seems that virtually everyone buys and sells bitcoin, not to use it, but to make a quick or long term buck off it, which leads to a lot of price volatility and defeats the purpose of using it as a currency. submitted by /u/djmex99 [link] [comments]

Do crypto payment rewards actually change how you spend?

COINS NEWS

I've always wondered whether rewards actually change people's behavior or if they're just a nice bonus.For example, would earning crypto back on everyday purchases make you: Use one payment method over another? Spend more often? Hold the rewards instead of cashing them out? Or does it make no difference at all? Traditional credit cards have been using points and cashback for years, and it clearly works for a lot of people. Do you think crypto rewards are any different, or is it basically the same psychology with a different asset? submitted by /u/DefinitionNo6275 [link] [comments]

ColdcardQ Airgapped Question

COINS NEWS

Hey guys. Throaway account cause I don't feel comfortable letting people know about my btc. So I recently bought a coldcardq after researching for a month or so on best practices and how everything actually works. I'm a half-coiner on an exchange so I figured it was about time. I've familiarized myself with most of it, and I'm currently in the process of doing test transactions to get the hang of it. But I was wondering if the airgapped methods I've used *were* actually truly airgapped. So I set up a pin on the coldcard, noted down my seed (nowhere digital), added a 13th word passphrase (which generates a different wallet from the master key), inserted a brand new micro-sd, installed sparrow on my desktop, loaded the json via microsd. Also installed nunchuk on my phone and played with the QR feature (which I feel is very convenient in general). I tested sending a small amount from the exchange via sparrow and nunchunk, and they both show up in my wallet. Is that actually it? I didn't have to sign anything via the coldcard, or anything like that, I thought it'd be more complicated. Are the methods I used truly airgapped? I know that the sd json doesn't actually store the keys, but is there a risk involved with doing this? Lastly, I've made a backup of my master key, but in case I lose access to my coldcard, will the backup also recover the passphrase wallet? Are there any other steps I should take before moving my full amount? Thanks, and sorry for the long read. submitted by /u/NewScholar5087 [link] [comments]

DCA

COINS NEWS

I have recently been starting to do more research and understand the Bitcoin 4 year cycles. As someone who is starting to DCA per month into Bitcoin after buying lump sums ever so often, for anybody that has experience with buying Bitcoin I know it makes sense to buy the dips in large amounts or DCA a fixed amount but can anyone explain why it would be a better idea to continue to DCA into Bitcoin as the price is going up and possibly approaching or exceeding ATHs rather than taking some kind of profit at ATHs?

Why are address poisoning attacker able to send fake token out of my account?

COINS NEWS

I am used to address poisoning. Whenever I send/receive token, I will then receive some random tokens from addresses that has the same starting and ending sequence as the address I interacted with. But I see something I can't explain. Whenever I send X amount of USDT, My address also send the exact same amount of fake USDT to an address mimicing the receiving address. How can the attacker use my account to send a token I don't even know I have? On Etherscan, the sender address is clearly my address, but if they already control my accout, poisoning the receiving address is pointless. They can just steal my funds. If they don't control my accout, how did they send fake token from my account? https://preview.redd.it/jfawc4knedbh1.png?width=1674&format=png&auto=webp&s=2c70a9966405775dc1af9f1bd6764dfe258610c4 submitted by /u/wood8 [link] [comments]

Game Disc use case - right to play on Blockchain

COINS NEWS

This idea has been posted before and isn't new, just starting the discussion again. It would be a perfect opportunity as Sony have just announced the demise of the physical disk. What if the right to play the game existed on the blockchain, you could trade the game just by transferring that token. It could work cross platform, you could just plug your keys into the console you're using or authenticate using it's native identity platform. Games have not been stored on discs for years but the right to play has been kept on them as a physical token to unlock the right to play. For me this is a perfect use case that cannot be forged or pirated. The contract is issued by the game company, it can be onsold this way, borrowed for a period of time under contact etc, use case is endless. submitted by /u/whiteycnbr [link] [comments]

Tezos is priced like it's dead. I don't think it is.

COINS NEWS

XTZ made a fresh all time low about a week ago, around $0.20, and we're barely above it now. Down 97% from the top, below the floor that held since 2018. Market cap is around a quarter billion, which is basically what the ICO raised in 2017. Nine years, round trip. Crypto is rough everywhere right now, but Tezos has been hit harder than most. For context, I'm a generative artist. I've released work on Tezos and so have a lot of artists I know, some of their best stuff, in small digital editions. So I'm biased, obviously. But I've watched this ecosystem the whole way down, and the gap between what it is and what it's priced at is kind of absurd at this point. The art is the part outsiders don't get. Minting costs pennies here, so artists actually experiment. That's why hic et nunc blew up in 2021 and why fxhash became the home of generative art. Thousands of artists, millions of works. Zancan's Garden, Monoliths gets talked about next to Fidenza. William Mapan dropped Dragons here before Art Blocks made him famous. All that work lives on this chain and nowhere else, and to me the coin is sort of backed by it. Not like gold in a vault, more like real people who stayed through the whole crash because they're here for the work. Meanwhile the chain never stopped. 21 upgrades since 2018, no forks, no downtime, and the 21st just went live on June 30. Blocks are 6 seconds, and a transfer costs a fraction of a cent whether it's $10 or $10k. And there's genuinely interesting stuff ahead. Etherlink (the EVM L2) went from about $1.5M to $82M TVL last year. And Tezos X, the biggest architecture change in the chain's history, has its testnet live and is aiming for mainnet this summer. Bear case is real: maybe none of this flows to XTZ, competitors have more money and attention, NFT volume is a shadow of 2021, and cheap can always get cheaper. If Tezos X slips, nobody will care. I hold a little XTZ, so not financial advice. But for me it comes down to one thing: artists kept releasing their best work here through the entire crash. Chains with actual culture don't just disappear. Or at least I hope not. submitted by /u/Slackluster [link] [comments]

Looking for advice: How can I sell premium Italian food to Bitcoiners?

COINS NEWS

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice from people who have experience with Bitcoin businesses. I run a Shopify store in Italy where I sell premium food products. Some are produced by me, while others come from small Italian farmers and artisans. Everything is high quality and carefully selected. I’d like to start accepting Bitcoin and build a customer base within the Bitcoin community. My goal is to become part of the circular Bitcoin economy rather than just add BTC as another payment option. I’m wondering where Bitcoiners usually discover new merchants. Are there communities, websites, directories, or social platforms where a business like mine should be present? Has anyone here successfully marketed physical products to Bitcoiners, and if so, what worked best? I’m not trying to advertise my store here. I’m just looking for advice before I launch and would really appreciate hearing about your experiences. Thanks everyone! submitted by /u/veryionika [link] [comments]

I started building a Bitcoin portfolio tracker because I was tired of the existing options. This is what I learned.

COINS NEWS

I know there are trackers out there. I used most of them. The problem I kept running into was either they wanted custody, they were clunky, or they mixed crypto into a general portfolio in a way that felt off for someone who thinks about Bitcoin differently than the rest of the market. Also, when you see things through a fiat lens you don't really value it. For example, spending $5 on coffee every day doesn't seem like a lot, until you realize how much money that is in Bitcoin that you spent. I wanted something that: - Works with your xpub so it's read-only OR just enter manual amount - Shows fiat equivalent in your local currency - Doesn't require KYC or an account on some exchange - Changes the psychology of how you see daily money - Looks decent on mobile The xpub piece took longer than I expected. Deriving addresses, querying the mempool, handling different derivation paths for different wallet types... it's more nuance than it looks from the outside. Three things I learned building this: Most people don't understand what an xpub is or why it matters. The education gap is real. Privacy-conscious users will test you. I had people ask good technical questions before they'd even try the app. "Simple" is really hard. Every feature I added, I asked myself if a new Bitcoiner could understand it in 30 seconds. If you want to see what I ended up with, it's called Compass. Not trying to sell anything, just sharing the build story. Feedback from this sub would actually be useful.

The "Evergrowing User Profile": How Your Digital Identity Appreciates in Value

COINS NEWS

TL;DR: In Web2, your data loses value as it gets sold repeatedly. In Web3, using tools like ONTO Wallet, your verified digital identity becomes an "evergrowing user profile" that appreciates in value the more you interact on chain. In the traditional tech ecosystem, your personal data is a depreciating asset. Once a data broker scrapes your profile and sells it to advertisers, its unique value diminishes. You have no control over its distribution, and you certainly don't see any of the profits. Web3 introduces a radical new concept: the "Evergrowing User Profile." By using a decentralized identity platform like ONTO Wallet (powered by ONT ID), your digital footprint is securely anchored to your cryptographic identity. Every on-chain interaction, verified credential, and piece of consented metadata adds to this profile. Because this profile is verified (proving you are a real human) and privacy protected (using zkTLS), it becomes highly attractive to AI developers seeking premium training data. Instead of depreciating, your profile appreciates in value as it grows richer and more detailed, allowing you to command higher rewards in the decentralized data market. Q: What makes an "evergrowing profile" valuable to AI? A: AI models need deep, longitudinal data from verified humans to understand complex behaviors and avoid the pitfalls of synthetic data training. Q: Can I delete my profile if I change my mind? A: Yes. Data sovereignty means you have the right to revoke access and manage your credentials at any time through your ONTO Wallet. Q: How do I start building one? A: Simply create an ONT ID within the ONTO Wallet and begin interacting with supported dApps and credential verification services.

Hello. I'm moving and as I was packing/throwing stuff away I found a sealed envelope that said "[my name] crypto - do not throw away" on the front.

If I do have crypto somewhere how can I find out where it is? Is there a "wallet" or other storage solution that specifically uses 12 word passwords?

Setting up multiple daily auto invest purchases for bitcoin?

COINS NEWS

Is this possible? I just switched to Cash App from another brokerage for no fee and spread daily auto investing, but i cannot figure out how to create more than one auto purchase per day. I set up one but I do not see an option to add another without canceling the one I set up. (I know i can just increase the amount of the one i have, but I have a daily budget I spread out over different times) submitted by /u/ProjectStrange3331 [link] [comments]

The reality of bitcoin / crypto

COINS NEWS

For years now many of us have asked (or are still asking) “is this legit? a scam?” “when is it gonna boom?“ “is there a future in bitcoin?” and so on, to which the subreddit answer often comes from one of three factions: a hard “yes” from holders who dive into the nuances of statistics (mining performance, decentralized governance etc in full support etc), short term traders emphasizing the potential of timing the pump and dump casino, and the traditional traders who don’t trust it at all. The simpler truth is, “BTC” was never meant to be traded like a stock—it‘s just a digital currency. You can look at the initial boom as the transition from mostly paper registers to signs that say “cashless payments only.” Of course people who bet on it early were going to get a nice chunk of change as more and more people started using apple pay. Bitcoin is basically a decentralized Visa prepaid card. I’m not saying it’s valuable or not valuable, I don’t know what it’s gonna do, but if you view the bitcoin market as if a whole lot of people suddenly invested in the peso, yeah it’s gonna look volatile and different from another stock as well as less stable than a currency. Anyways… just some food for thought. Maybe for some of you a xanax. I’d love to hear your opinions for or against cryptocurrency :) submitted by /u/salieut [link] [comments]

Scam Warning: Switcher.Finance

COINS NEWS

Hello everyone! I recently used Switcher.finance, as I noticed many people recommended it. Unfortunately, after using it to swap some crypto, they received my crypto but refused to send the crypto that I am supposed to get. After contacting them, they keep saying that they sent it to me but stuck at transit. I also did some digging afterwards, and realised that they operate a massive bot farm, using multiple account to promote their services across social media. This is a massive fraud and scam. Until this is resolved, please avoid it at all costs. Based on my experience, I believe this is a massive scam. submitted by /u/JestonT [link] [comments]

Revoked approvals on 6 wallets after the drainer news, still not fully done

COINS NEWS

I keep funds split across 6 wallets on purpose, one address per DeFi strategy, so a bad approval on one can never reach the rest. That part has worked fine for two years. What finally made me clean house was that drainer writeup that went around last week. Rabby's approval tab already shows everything across my accounts, so the audit itself took five minutes. 41 old approvals, some from 2023, including two unlimited USDC ones to contracts I don't even recognize anymore. The cleanup was the ugly part. Revoke.cash acts on the connected address only, which is fair enough, but in practice it means connect wallet 1, revoke seven things one signature each, disconnect, switch account in Rabby, reconnect, repeat. Six times. Around wallet 4 I got sloppy and revoked a Permit2 approval I still use, so that one gets re-approved next time I trade. Final damage was a bit over two hours of my evening and about 19 dollars in gas across 38 txs. And wallet 6 is technically still dirty, it lives on the Ledger in a drawer and I ran out of patience before digging it out. For people running a similar per-strategy split, what's your routine for approval hygiene across addresses? Or do you just grind the same connect and sign loop wallet by wallet when it comes up? submitted by /u/Educational_Cable405 [link] [comments]

Do you feel a bit guilty for not buying BTC instead of something you desire?

COINS NEWS

I live in a third-world Asian country where our average monthly salary is between 500-1000 usd. I don't know if you guys have this sentiment when it comes to personal spendings: *I want to buy a Steam game on sale 50% off - or I can buy BTC with this X money. *I want to buy some drinks for a girl and start dating - or I can buy BTC with this X money. *I want to treat myself and my family a vacation after getting my MBA - or I can buy BTC with this X money. *I can build a new PC with these ridiculous prices - or I can buy BTC with this X money. And so on. Am I having mental crisis? I am just under 40 years old btw, and occasionally stacking every 3 months. Please share your thoughts. submitted by /u/SingularityXZ [link] [comments]

No, we aren't heading towards the 100k+ mark ... not yet.

COINS NEWS

Historically, within a bear market, July has always been the month with the strongest upward momentum. The 365-day bull market cycle is projected to end in October 2026. If the market behaves as it did in previous cycles, July would merely be a "bull trap." Following July, we would then see another significant downward move. Of course, this "forecast" is not 100% certain, and the market could behave differently than in the last cycle. However, so far, BTC has behaved exactly as it did in earlier bear markets. In my view, there is no relevant reason to expect a change in this pattern. Since we are dealing with established cycles, the current forecast is based on a "self-fulfilling prophecy": most of us know the cycle, use it as a guide, and trade according to the expected trend. That is precisely why this cycle is likely to play out just like the previous ones. Only one thing could change this: if the influence of institutional capital becomes so great that it forces an early end to the bear market, causing us all to succumb to FOMO :D:D:D As always: this is merely my personal opinion. This does not constitute trading advice! Everyone is responsible for their own actions. submitted by /u/BriBumer [link] [comments]

The Case for Bitcoin

COINS NEWS

Bitcoin changed the world. There are a lot of reasons I hold a small percentage of my portfolio in Bitcoin. First and foremost is it came first and it has so much name recognition. There are very few things that I am certain will be worth at least something 5 years from now. A corporation could go kaput. A government can collapse. But we all know what Bitcoin is and we all associate it with value. The certainty that Bitcoin will not go to zero is worth something beyond whatever price it may hypothetically drop to. Then there is the use case. There's no denying it - Bitcoin is useful to criminals, and not your run of the mill criminal, but criminals of the highest order. To me, that caps the value of Bitcoin. I find it hard to imagine a world where Bitcoin is ubiquitous that is not dystopian. However, I believe Bitcoin does provide balance against the ever increasing power of banks, governments, and those who control the minting of fiat currency. So there is actually, in my opinion, a positive utility here. All things considered, I dont really believe the price is unfair. Its not too high and not too low. Bitcoin has a great name, an interesting and mysterious history, and I like that it sort of sits there, latent, waiting for a despot to take over a country or the world, ever enabling us to to collaborate on a grand scale, and rapidly too, against such tyranny. submitted by /u/Stone_d_ [link] [comments]
