The Future of Bitcoin: Teranode, Satoshi's Coins, and the Genius Act
Hey everyone!
I just wrapped up an incredible discussion about the current state of the Bitcoin protocol, and I can't wait to share some of the fascinating insights we uncovered.
We kicked things off by diving into what's happening with Teranode and the Bitcoin protocol. There's so much backstory here that most people aren't aware of! I was fortunate enough to have Scott share his personal connection with Roy Murphy, going all the way back to 2011 when they first met in Cyprus. It was fascinating to hear how Roy was already deeply knowledgeable about Bitcoin when it was trading at less than a dollar.
One of the most mind-blowing topics we covered was the movement of Satoshi-era coins. Yes, you read that right—those long-dormant wallets are actually moving! What's even more intriguing is the legal notices attached to them through something called "constructive possession." The Solomon Brothers legal notices have appeared on thousands of wallet addresses, though there are some suspicious elements about this law firm that have us all questioning what's really happening.
I also discussed how Michael Saylor and MicroStrategy might be in a precarious position. Their strategy of buying BTC through bonds at 0% interest seems sustainable only as long as the price continues to rise. When combined with the new Genius Act requiring stable coins to be fully backed by US treasuries, we could be looking at a significant market shift within the next 24 months.
The conversation took an unexpected turn when Mr. Ben joined and proposed a fascinating theory about the Money stablecoin. He suggested that the US government's strategy might be to create a dominant global stablecoin backed by US treasuries, effectively exporting US debt to the world while maintaining dollar dominance. And guess what platform he believes this will all run on? BSV. The original Bitcoin protocol could serve as the rails for this new financial system.
We also touched on practical adoption challenges. Casey shared her experiences trying to onboard farmers and merchants to accept BSV payments. It's clear that businesses need more than just another wallet—they need integrated solutions that handle accounting, CRM, and multiple signatories all in one place.
Through it all, I maintained that we should be long-term thinkers. The original Bitcoin protocol wasn't designed for get-rich-quick schemes but for building something special that will last. As regulatory clarity emerges through acts like the Genius Act and the upcoming Clarity Act, the distinction between mature blockchains and centrally controlled ones will become increasingly important.
I believe we're at a fascinating inflection point in the history of digital currencies and blockchain technology. The next 24 months could bring significant changes to the ecosystem as we know it.
What do you think about these developments? Are you keeping an eye on the Money stablecoin? Do you believe BSV could serve as the rails for a new financial system?
