Bitcoin Security Masterclass with #Blockchain Experts

Securing Your Bitcoin: Cold Storage Solutions and the Future of Bitcoin

Hey everyone!

I recently had the pleasure of hosting an incredible discussion with Degan (@deggen), a true Bitcoin security expert, alongside some brilliant minds from the Bitcoin ecosystem including Tai from Babbage. What started as a conversation about cold storage solutions evolved into a fascinating exploration of the entire Bitcoin technology stack and vision.

If you've ever worried about the safety of your Bitcoin, you're not alone. With major exchanges like Coinbase banning certain cryptocurrencies, many of us are left wondering how to securely manage our own coins. That's exactly why I wanted to tackle this subject head-on.

Degan walked us through his approach to cold storage, particularly his implementation at secure.atx.systems, which utilizes Shamir Secret Sharing to split your private keys into multiple shares. This means you can distribute these shares in different locations, requiring a predetermined threshold to recover the full key. It's an elegant solution to the age-old problem of secure key management.

What really blew my mind was the explanation of key derivation schemes. Imagine being able to generate countless secure addresses from just a single master key! This seemingly magical property of elliptic curve cryptography allows for enhanced privacy and security while simplifying the management of multiple addresses.

The conversation took an exciting turn when we delved into the BRC 100 standard, which is fundamentally changing how applications interact with Bitcoin wallets. By separating wallet functionality from application development, this approach allows developers to focus on creating great user experiences without having to worry about the complex cryptography under the hood.

I particularly loved the analogy that Brett shared, comparing this separation to how personal computers work with operating systems and applications. The Metanet desktop functions like an operating system for the Web3 universe, allowing applications to plug into standardized interfaces.

One thing that became abundantly clear during our discussion is the need for better education and simpler onboarding processes. As Zany pointed out, there's a significant gap between the technical capabilities of blockchain technology and the ability of non-technical users to understand and utilize these tools. This is something I'm passionate about addressing as we continue to build and improve the ecosystem.

The last portion of our talk explored Gateway.cash, an open-source payment solution, and the role of stable coins in driving adoption. These developments could be key to bridging the gap between the crypto-native world and traditional finance.

What excites me most about all of this is the vision of putting users back in control of their data, identity, and digital assets. In a world where big tech companies harvest our information and control our online experience, the Metanet offers a compelling alternative based on user sovereignty and open standards.

I hope you found this conversation as enlightening as I did. Whether you're a developer looking to build on Bitcoin or simply someone who wants to secure their digital assets, there's something valuable here for everyone.

Why #Satoshi's Original Bitcoin Vision = the Hungry Caterpillar

The Truth About Bitcoin: What BTC Doesn't Want You to Know

Today I want to share some insights from my recent conversation with Brett Banfe that I believe every cryptocurrency enthusiast needs to hear. We dove deep into what's really happening with Bitcoin, specifically the growing evidence that BTC has fundamentally departed from Satoshi's original vision.

The most shocking revelation we discussed? A core BTC developer, Luke Dash Jr., has essentially raised the white flag, calling BTC a "failed project." This isn't coming from BSV advocates - this is coming from within the BTC development community itself!

Brett brilliantly explained how BTC has become like the shed skin of a snake - it kept the name "Bitcoin" but left behind the essential properties that made Bitcoin revolutionary in the first place. Most importantly, it abandoned the chain of digital signatures that defines Bitcoin in the whitepaper.

Why does this matter? Imagine you're in court trying to prove ownership of your cryptocurrency. With BSV, you have that complete chain of digital signatures to demonstrate ownership. With BTC? You might be out of luck because that signature data isn't preserved in the same way.

We also discussed the upcoming Clarity Act, which could officially define "mature blockchains" in a way that recognizes the original Bitcoin protocol's unique properties. This could be a game-changer for regulatory recognition of BSV as the true continuation of Satoshi's vision.

One of my favorite parts of our conversation was about the future of microtransactions, especially for AI and data processing. As Brett explained, only Bitcoin with its original scaling capabilities can deliver the infrastructure needed for pay-as-you-scrape models that will revolutionize how data is monetized online.

The difference between BTC and BSV ultimately comes down to this: one kept the name, the other kept the functionality. One is focused on speculation, the other on building real utility. One abandoned the chain of signatures, the other preserved it.

I believe we're at a pivotal moment in cryptocurrency history. As more people understand these fundamental differences, and as regulatory clarity emerges, the truth about which project truly continues Satoshi's vision will become undeniable.

I'm heading to the London blockchain conference soon and hope to bring back even more insights to share with you all. In the meantime, I encourage you to dive deeper into understanding the original Bitcoin protocol - knowledge truly is power.

Working Together in Bitcoin's Abundance: My Vision for Our Digital Future

Hey everyone!

I recently had an incredible conversation about the future of Bitcoin and I can't wait to share these insights with you. This discussion took me down a rabbit hole that completely changed how I think about Bitcoin's potential.

It all started with a simple question: What is the greatest need in the world right now that Bitcoin can address? The answer that emerged was employment—particularly in a world where AI and language models are disrupting traditional jobs. But how exactly can Bitcoin help?

I believe the answer lies in abundance. Bitcoin BSV gives us the ability to live in an abundance mindset because it can scale to billions of transactions per second. With this foundation, we can build systems where Bitcoiners work together to solve employment challenges.

Imagine one site—one literal site into Bitcoin—where we all come together. This site would be hosted on the Bitcoin blockchain, providing a universal access point for Bitcoiners to post jobs, offer solutions, and receive compensation through the power of microtransactions. The beauty of this approach is that we find profit in even the smallest of movements on Bitcoin.

During our discussion, we had an incredible breakthrough when Binary (Mitch) joined to explain the critical importance of the BRC 100 standard. This vendor-neutral wallet-to-application interface is truly revolutionary. Instead of apps like Money Button that created vendor lock-in (where if the service shut down, all apps failed), BRC 100 separates the application from the wallet, allowing any wallet to work with any application.

What makes this so powerful? It means we don't have to rebuild the entire internet. We can integrate Bitcoin functionality into existing sites and applications while maintaining user ownership of data and identity. As Binary put it, "In Web 2, I sign into an application. In Web 3, the application signs into me."

The most exciting part is that anyone can learn to build on this stack. Even if you're not a developer, tools like the Metanet Academy and AI assistants make it possible to create powerful applications with minimal coding knowledge. Binary believes that "Metanet development is the most valuable skill on the planet" right now.

We also discussed how Bitcoin can scale to billions of transactions per second through multiccast and anycast technologies. This isn't just theoretical—it's the foundation that will allow everything to run on Bitcoin. From grid infrastructure (like Metawatt) to music platforms that eliminate middlemen, the possibilities are endless.

As we navigate these exciting times, I'm more convinced than ever that by working together in Bitcoin's abundant ecosystem, we're all going to make it. The path forward isn't about competing projects but about building together on the solid foundation that Bitcoin provides.

I'll continue exploring these ideas and sharing my journey with all of you. If you're interested in learning more about BRC 100, the Babage stack, or how to start building on Bitcoin, I recommend checking out metanetacademy.com to get started.

The $1 Billion Skill: Understanding #BRC100 Standard for Bitcoin

The $1 Billion Standard: How BRC 100 Is Making Bitcoin the Internet's Base Layer

When I first heard about the BRC 100 standard, I'll admit I was skeptical. Another Bitcoin protocol? Another standard? But after diving deeper into what Mitch Berman explained, I realized this isn't just another technical specification—it's the foundation for Bitcoin's integration into everything.

The BRC 100 standard, created by Tai Everett, Braden, and Tone, solves a fundamental problem that has plagued Bitcoin adoption: how do we integrate Bitcoin functionality everywhere without forcing users to understand the underlying technology?

Here's what makes BRC 100 revolutionary: it allows Bitcoin to be in every site—literally everything that touches the internet can now have a vendor-neutral Bitcoin plugin. This means you maintain control of your keys and digital identity while connecting to any compatible site or application.

Think about previous Bitcoin wallet solutions. Remember Money Button? When it disappeared, users lost access to their funds because the system was centralized. With BRC 100, that problem disappears. Your digital identity remains yours, regardless of which application or site you're using.

What's particularly striking is that even people who've been in Bitcoin for years don't fully grasp what's happening here. When Satoshi came out and said, "Hey, I scaled it," many responded with, "You're not Satoshi." The disconnect is real. But the solution isn't trying to force everyone to understand Bitcoin—it's meeting them where they are.

This is why BRC 100 matters so much. It allows us to plug Bitcoin functionality into existing sites without requiring users to understand the rails. Small businesses can save the 3% they currently spend on services like Stripe. They get payment rails that scale, the ability to tokenize assets, and can secure data on-chain cheaply and immutably.

With major tech companies reportedly offering bounties as high as $1 billion for specialized developer skills, understanding the BRC 100 standard could become similarly valuable. It's not just about building new Bitcoin applications—it's about integrating Bitcoin functionality into every existing digital experience.

The education challenge is real, and people like Todd are tackling it head-on. But adoption is also a business problem that requires competition to drive innovation. The beauty of the BRC 100 standard is that it provides the substrate for both collaboration and competition. We can work together on the standard while competing to build the best implementations.

As I continue learning about this standard, I'm increasingly convinced that it represents the path forward for Bitcoin integration. It's not about building isolated Bitcoin applications—it's about weaving Bitcoin functionality into the fabric of the existing internet.

If you're interested in being part of Bitcoin's future, understanding BRC 100 should be at the top of your priority list. It's the foundation that will enable everything else.

The $1 Billion Dev Bounty: Why #Bitcoin's BRC100 Is the Next Big Skill

Why Understanding the BRC 100 Standard Is Crucial for Every Bitcoiner

Today I want to share something that completely changed my perspective on Bitcoin's future and the opportunities it presents for all of us.

Last night, I hosted a space with Mitch Berman, Raphael, Casey, Alex, and others where we dove deep into something called the BRC 100 standard. What Mitch shared left everyone in stunned silence—it was truly mind-blowing.

Remember when Satoshi said Bitcoin is "the future of everything"? He envisioned a world where even a Diet Coke can floating down a river would have its own IPv6 address with a receipt tracked on the Bitcoin ledger. For years, I believed this vision but never fully understood how it would materialize. Now, I'm starting to see the path forward.

The BRC 100 standard, developed by Babage (after nChain tried and failed), is effectively the Metanet protocol. It takes Bitcoin's complex machine code written in archaic C++ and transforms it into a standardized language that developers can build upon. Why is this so important?

Let me share a personal example. Years ago, I was excited about Money Button—it was an amazing tool that allowed easy Bitcoin transactions. Then one day, while I was in Hermosa Beach working on projects, Money Button disappeared. I still have Bitcoin trapped in that wallet with no clear way to access it. This is exactly the problem that BRC 100 solves.

The BRC 100 standard creates a neutral wallet protocol where applications aren't tied to specific wallet providers. This means if a company goes out of business, users don't lose access to their Bitcoin. It prevents the centralization issues that have plagued previous Bitcoin projects.

In the early days, Bitcoin entrepreneurs were all trying to get to market quickly. Nobody took the time to build a standardized language that would allow developers to create applications without centralizing user access. That's changed with BRC 100.

I've been reflecting on my own business experience during the 2008 financial crisis. I was successful as a loan officer because I understood the entire process from start to finish. But when I started my own business and delegated different parts of the process to others, I lost that hands-on knowledge. When the market collapsed, I couldn't adapt quickly enough because I didn't have a deep understanding of each component of my business.

This is why I'm challenging myself—and you—to learn at least the base layer of the BRC 100 standard. You don't need to become a programming expert, but understanding the fundamentals will make you a better Bitcoiner and entrepreneur.

The opportunity here is massive. I heard a rumor that Facebook/Meta has a billion-dollar bounty for developers skilled in large language model coding, with only about 20 developers worldwide qualified for such positions. The BRC 100 standard represents a similarly valuable skill set, but with even fewer people who truly understand it.

Those who learn this standard now will have an enormous advantage when the crypto Ponzi schemes eventually collapse. Real utility will emerge through Bitcoin's scalability and the BRC 100 standard, creating unprecedented opportunities for those who prepared.

So that's my challenge to you: start learning the base layer of this Bitcoin standard. I'll be sharing more insights from our conversation with Mitch in the coming days, breaking down the key concepts in bite-sized pieces.

We've been distracted by price speculation for too long. It's time to refocus on what Bitcoin actually does and the real-world problems it solves. The BRC 100 standard is our path forward to building the future Satoshi envisioned.

#Bitcoin by Text: The Simplest Way to Use Digital Cash

Bitcoin via Text Message: The Simplest Way to Use Digital Cash

After exploring Bitcoin's history and purpose in our previous discussions, I wanted to share something practical that cuts through all the complexity - how to use Bitcoin as peer-to-peer digital cash through simple text messages.

This approach addresses what I believe is the biggest barrier to Bitcoin adoption: unnecessary complexity. When most people think about using cryptocurrency, they imagine complicated wallet setups, seed phrases, private keys, and confusing exchanges. But what if sending Bitcoin could be as simple as texting a friend?

In my recent demonstration with Margot, I showed exactly that. Using a service called TextBSV, I sent her a penny worth of Bitcoin in seconds. She didn't need to create a wallet first or download any apps - the system automatically generated everything needed when she received the funds. She then sent Bitcoin back to me just as easily.

This simplicity is revolutionary. Consider what happened:

1. Money changed hands instantly
2. No bank or payment processor was involved
3. The transaction cost was virtually zero
4. Both parties maintained privacy
5. The transaction was recorded on a permanent, immutable ledger

All of this happened through ordinary text messages on basic phones. No special apps required.

Why does this matter? Because financial freedom isn't just about investment opportunities - it's about having control over your own money. During our conversation, I mentioned how even powerful individuals have had their banking services revoked. When traditional financial systems can be weaponized against anyone for any reason, having alternatives becomes essential.

The text message method solves another crucial problem: the learning curve. If you want to introduce friends, family or customers to using Bitcoin as actual cash, asking them to understand wallets, keys and exchanges is a non-starter for most. But everyone knows how to text.

For those wanting to try this approach, you'll still need to obtain some Bitcoin first. In the video, I walked through using Orange Gateway, a service based in Iceland. While there are multiple ways to acquire Bitcoin, this provides a relatively straightforward on-ramp for beginners.

(Note: Since filming, I've learned that Orange Gateway now requires KYC verification for all customers. This wasn't the case when we recorded, and I wish it were different.)

What excites me most about this text message approach is how it returns to Bitcoin's original purpose - a peer-to-peer electronic cash system. Not a speculative investment, not "digital gold" to hoard, but an actual usable currency that allows people to transact directly without intermediaries.

I believe this simple use case - sending value through text messages - could be the catalyst for much broader adoption. When people experience the freedom and simplicity of true peer-to-peer transactions, the entire concept of digital cash begins to make sense in a way that investment narratives never could.

2.2 Million #BitCoin in One Wallet: The Costly Signal Explained

The 2.2 Million Bitcoin Signal: What It Means for the Original Protocol's Future

Today I want to share something that has me genuinely excited about the future of the Original Bitcoin protocol - something that most cryptocurrency watchers aren't paying attention to yet, but represents perhaps the most significant "costly signal" I've seen in this space.

I've discovered that approximately 2.2 million Original Bitcoin are now being held in a single wallet. To put this in perspective, that's more than 10% of the entire possible supply (which is capped at 21 million) and represents an enormous percentage of the actually available supply when you consider that many coins are permanently lost or held by people who will never sell.

What makes this particularly fascinating is the methodology behind this accumulation. Looking at the blockchain - which never lies - we can see a pattern of what are being called "rolling iceberg" transactions. These aren't random. Someone is deliberately leaving what amounts to graffiti across the blockchain, with transaction addresses containing words like "iceberg" and references that tell a story.

This pattern connects back to a 2019 post about "rolling iceberg orders," suggesting this accumulation strategy has been in play for years. The blockchain evidence shows additional coins being added regularly, including 40,000 more on the day I recorded my analysis.

Why does this matter? It's about basic supply and demand. Unlike most cryptocurrencies with virtually unlimited supplies, the Original Bitcoin protocol has a strict cap of 21 million. When someone controls over 2 million of those coins and continues accumulating, they're sending a costly signal - putting significant resources behind their belief in the protocol's future.

This is occurring during a fascinating transition period in the cryptocurrency space. While mainstream attention remains focused elsewhere, those who understand the technical fundamentals of the Original Bitcoin protocol can see momentum building. The market mechanics are simple: with diminishing available supply and growing awareness of the protocol's capabilities, a breaking point becomes inevitable.

I'm so convinced of the importance of this moment that I'm working with one of the most experienced and knowledgeable figures in the Bitcoin space to create a private membership community for like-minded individuals. This isn't just about investment - it's about connecting people who understand the significance of what's happening and want to be part of this movement.

The community will feature events, regular calls, and networking opportunities. I've even considered the social aspect - creating a space where people with shared values and interests can form meaningful connections. Think of it as a modern version of the fraternity and secret society experiences I valued in my younger days, but centered around the Original Bitcoin protocol.

While I don't make price predictions, the signals are clear. The accumulation of such a significant portion of the Bitcoin supply represents a fundamental shift in market dynamics that can't be ignored forever. There's a bottleneck forming, and when it breaks, the market will be forced to recognize the reality of the Original Bitcoin protocol's value.

Stay tuned for more details about the membership community. If you've made it this far down the rabbit hole, you're exactly the kind of person who will appreciate what we're building.

The #GreatReset of Bitcoin: From Liberation Tool to Banker Asset

Bitcoin's Hijacked Vision: From Digital Cash to Institutional Asset

I recently had an eye-opening conversation with Margot Ridler about Bitcoin's evolution that I think everyone needs to hear. What began as a discussion about how to actually use Bitcoin quickly turned into a deep dive into how the original vision for this technology has been systematically redirected.

Back in 2020 when COVID lockdowns were in full swing, many people (including Margot) began looking more closely at Bitcoin as a potential safeguard against financial censorship. There were disturbing reports of people having their bank accounts frozen simply for speaking against government measures. Bitcoin, with its original promise of peer-to-peer digital cash without middlemen or surveillance, seemed like the perfect solution.

I was struck by Margot's observations about how drastically the Bitcoin narrative shifted almost overnight. In early 2020, the focus was on usability, low fees, and financial sovereignty. By 2021, Michael Saylor and others had transformed the message to "digital gold" that should never be spent, only held. The "number go up" philosophy replaced the original peer-to-peer vision, effectively stripping Bitcoin of its most revolutionary aspect.

What's most revealing is the apparent deception from major financial institutions. While BlackRock's Larry Fink, JP Morgan's Jamie Dimon, and others publicly dismissed Bitcoin as a fraud that would "go to zero," their organizations were secretly building blockchain infrastructure behind the scenes. By 2023, these same institutions were launching ETFs and embracing cryptocurrency publicly.

Margot's research uncovered that financial institutions worldwide have been implementing blockchain technologies since 2016, creating rails for various cryptocurrencies while publicly criticizing them. This level of coordinated messaging versus private action suggests something much larger at play than simple market evolution.

The implications are significant. As we move toward bank-issued coins, CBDCs, and increasingly surveilled financial systems, the original promise of Bitcoin as a tool for financial freedom becomes more important than ever. These new digital currencies will likely come with enticing benefits that mask their true purpose: greater control over how, when, and where you can spend your money.

I believe we're at a critical juncture in monetary history. The question isn't whether digital currencies will dominate - they will. The question is whether we'll preserve the freedom-enhancing aspects of the original Bitcoin vision or surrender to a system of convenience that gradually erodes our financial sovereignty.

What are your thoughts? Are you using Bitcoin as originally intended, or have you fallen into the "just hold it" mentality? The choice might be more important than most realize.

Military Officer Takes Key Prosecutor Role #Justice #storm

Military Justice: What the New Southern District Appointment Really Means

Today I want to talk about something that I believe signals a major shift in how justice might be administered in America. The recent appointment of Jason Reading Guerys as the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida is far more significant than most media outlets are acknowledging.

Why am I so interested in this particular appointment? It's not just another bureaucratic position being filled. Reading has a 22-year military background including service as a judge advocate (military lawyer) and continues to serve as a reserve lieutenant colonel providing legal counsel on national security matters. This military justice background sets him apart from typical appointees.

I've long observed the differences between military and civilian justice systems. The military operates under a completely different standard with much stricter accountability mechanisms. When you're operating under military justice, the consequences for corruption or improper influence are severe and swift. Reading brings this disciplined background to one of the most important prosecutor positions in the country.

What makes this especially intriguing is the timing. This appointment comes right after Tulsi Gabbard (herself a lieutenant colonel) made statements about delivering intelligence regarding potential wrongdoing to the Attorney General. The Southern District of Florida has been central to numerous high-profile cases recently, and now it's being led by someone with extensive military justice experience.

I'm predicting we'll see movement quickly. A grand jury formation seems likely in the immediate future, with potential indictments following perhaps as soon as October. While I won't speculate too much on specific individuals, this appointment suggests a seriousness about addressing alleged wrongdoing at the highest levels.

The significance of having someone from outside the typical elite power structures in this role shouldn't be underestimated. Reading is the son of a Cuban political refugee who, according to his own statement, is deeply committed to "protecting the American people, restoring impartial justice, and defending the rule of law."

Is this the beginning of a new approach to accountability in American politics? Only time will tell, but this appointment certainly suggests changes are coming to how justice is administered at the highest levels.

Elon Calls Out Scam Altman #CoverUp CGBT creator Murder or #Suicide?

Blog Post: Digging into the Suchir Balaji Case with My New Video

Hey there, it’s Gavin, and I’m pumped to share my latest video where I dive headfirst into the Suchir Balaji case, a story that’s got me rattled. This OpenAI whistleblower’s death was called a suicide by San Francisco cops in just 15 minutes, but it’s looking more like a cover-up. I start by unpacking Elon Musk’s bold X post accusing Sam Altman of lying like it’s second nature, tying it straight to this tragedy. It’s a wild ride, so let’s get into it.

I lay out Suchir’s story: a Berkeley prodigy who helped create what we now know as ChatGPT. He’s at dinner, just back from vacation, with a million-dollar job offer waiting, and then he’s found shot in the head in a bizarre way. Suicide? Come on. His mom’s not buying it, hiring her own investigators who scream murder. She’s fighting the city for records, but they’re stonewalling. I talk about her January writ of mandate and how her attorneys are dropping the ball, granting the city three extensions without a single deposition. One lawyer’s even got old DA ties, which smells like a conflict to me.

What’s crazier is ChatGPT, which Suchir helped build, acts like he never existed. Meanwhile, Grok gives the full scoop, both sides, no problem. I connect this to Elon’s “Scam Altman” callout and a memecoin fundraiser that raised over $15,000 for the family, thanks to Elon’s boost. I’m pushing for depositions of big names like Sam Altman and Mayor Daniel Lurie to get answers under oath. Suchir blew the whistle on OpenAI’s shady shift from nonprofit to profit-chasing, plus some copyright issues, and it might’ve cost him everything.

I get real about why I steer clear of ChatGPT, morally shook by this case. I’m rooting for the family to use that fundraiser cash to get a fierce new attorney or even take the case on themselves. It’s about justice for a kid who tried to do right. This one’s heavy, but I keep it clear and honest. Check out the full video here.

How Blockchain and AI Merge: The $15 Trillion Opportunity

The $15 Trillion Convergence: How Blockchain and AI Will Transform Everything Within a Year

While the cryptocurrency world remains fixated on price action and potential regulatory endorsements, a much bigger story is unfolding that few are discussing: the imminent convergence of blockchain technology and artificial intelligence, backed by unprecedented investment and government coordination.

The pace of AI development over the past three years has been nothing short of breathtaking. What was barely on the public radar in 2022 has now become a dominant force reshaping every industry. Yet even this rapid evolution pales in comparison to what's coming in the next twelve months as AI and blockchain technology begin their true integration.

According to intelligence and political expert Josh Reid, approximately $15 trillion of new capital is flowing into the United States specifically for next-generation technology development. This investment - coming from UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, SoftBank, Oracle, the UK (approximately $200 billion), and Apple ($600 billion) - is targeted at artificial intelligence, medical biosciences, blockchain, and quantum computing.

What makes this particularly significant is that it's happening against the backdrop of America's aging infrastructure. Unlike Singapore, Tokyo, or Hong Kong with their modern urban systems, many U.S. cities operate on 50-60 year old technology. This massive capital infusion represents not just incremental improvement but a complete technological leapfrog.

Perhaps the most intriguing development in this story is the formation of US Army Detachment 2011, also known as the Executive Innovation Corps. On June 13, 2025, four high-profile tech executives were commissioned as lieutenant colonels in the United States Army:

• Andrew Bosworth, Meta CEO
• Kevin While, OpenAI's chief production officer
• Bob McGru, adviser at Thinking Machines and former OpenAI researcher
• Cheyam Sar, Palanteer CTO

These executives now serve as senior advisers for modernization projects including AI, VR, human-machine integration, hypersonics, and innovation pipelines. The implications are profound - these major AI companies are now effectively under military oversight, subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice rather than just corporate governance.

What does this mean for blockchain? Everything.

As AI systems scale to unprecedented levels, they will require an immutable, transparent, and infinitely scalable data layer. The transaction volume will be staggering - potentially billions per second as machine-to-machine interactions proliferate. Only one blockchain architecture can handle this volume: the original Bitcoin protocol with its Terra node implementation.

While investment advisors might suggest buying various cryptocurrencies based on potential Trump administration endorsements, they're missing the more fundamental play: scalable utility on chain. The original Bitcoin protocol stands alone in its ability to scale to the requirements of AI integration, its regulatory compliance framework, and its comprehensive patent protection.

Within one year - by summer 2026 - we will look back at our current technological landscape as "the good old days" before everything changed. The integration of AI and blockchain will create entirely new paradigms for business, governance, and personal technology use that are difficult to even conceptualize today.

For those who understand this convergence before the mainstream, the opportunity is unprecedented. But the window is closing rapidly as these technologies accelerate toward their inevitable integration.

The question isn't whether this transformation will happen - it's whether you'll be positioned to benefit from it when it does.

The Clarity Act: How Derivatives Will End Up on Original #Bitcoin

The Clarity Act: Why Trillion-Dollar Derivatives Markets Will End Up on Original Bitcoin

When discussing cryptocurrency legislation, most influencers focus on short-term price action. Few are connecting the dots on how upcoming regulations will fundamentally transform blockchain adoption at the institutional level. Today, I want to examine why the pending Clarity Act, combined with the already-passed Genesis Act, creates an inevitable path toward massive adoption of the original Bitcoin protocol.

The Genesis Act is already law, establishing the regulatory framework for stablecoins. As Bo Hines recently revealed, the Office of the Comptroller of Currency (OCC) is actively working on implementing these regulations. This is happening now - the rails for stablecoins are being built.

But the real game-changer will be the Clarity Act. This legislation will define what constitutes a "mature blockchain" and will green-light the tokenization of real-world assets on qualifying blockchains. We're talking about putting real estate titles, mortgages, land deeds, and most significantly, derivatives on chain.

For those unfamiliar with derivatives markets, we're discussing the largest market in human history - a quadrillion-dollar industry where major institutions engage in largely unregulated trading. When these markets move on-chain (and they will), the technical requirements become staggering.

This isn't about handling a few thousand transactions per second. Derivatives markets will require millions of transactions per second at peak times. Only a blockchain that scales horizontally can handle this volume. The original Bitcoin protocol, with its recent Teranode release, is uniquely positioned for this challenge.

What many overlook is the patent factor. When small projects operate in the blockchain space, patents might not matter much. But when trillion-dollar institutions implement systems that must comply with OCC regulations, patent infringement becomes a catastrophic risk. The original Bitcoin protocol is protected by an extensive patent portfolio that creates a "fortress" around its technology.

Former nChain CEO Richard Baker recognized this opportunity years ago when he founded "Tokenized" - a project specifically designed to handle securities and derivatives on the original Bitcoin blockchain. With his background in the derivatives industry, Baker understood that the market would eventually need a compliant, scalable solution.

I could grow my channel much faster by simply promoting BTC and following popular narratives. But the truth is more important than views. BTC is just another fiat coin - I'm interested in freedom and liberty that comes from a truly scalable, peer-to-peer electronic cash system as outlined in the original Bitcoin whitepaper.

The path forward is clear: The Genesis Act is passed. The Clarity Act is coming. Tokenized is ready. As institutions seek compliant blockchain solutions for trillion-dollar markets, they will discover that all roads lead to the original Bitcoin protocol - not because of speculation or hype, but because of technical capabilities, scaling potential, and patent protection.

For entrepreneurs and developers who understand this trajectory, the opportunity to build on this foundation before mass adoption is unprecedented. As Bo Hines and the OCC continue their discussions, and as the Clarity Act moves forward, the window for getting ahead of this trend grows smaller every day.

This won't happen overnight, and there will be plenty of experiments with other chains. But when transaction volumes reach critical mass and compliance becomes non-negotiable, the original Bitcoin protocol will be the only viable solution for the world's largest markets.

Bitcoin as Digital Real Estate: The Rails of the New #Internet

The Heart of Bitcoin: Restoring Peer-to-Peer Freedom in a Centralized World

Last night I hosted what turned into one of the most profound discussions about Bitcoin I've had in years. What started as a birthday celebration for my friend Casey Nicole evolved into a deep exploration of what Bitcoin truly represents and why its original vision matters now more than ever.

I've always compared owning Bitcoin to investing in railroad infrastructure in the 1800s. Imagine if you could have purchased the rails being built across America back then - they weren't worth much at the time, but generations later, they became the foundation of how goods and people moved across the continent. That's what the original Bitcoin blockchain represents - the rails of a new internet.

But as we discussed in the livestream, Bitcoin was hijacked in 2017. The Bilderberg group and banking interests effectively took control of the development, crippling Bitcoin's ability to scale and transforming it from peer-to-peer electronic cash into what I call "the banker's Federal Reserve coin." Meanwhile, the original vision lives on through Bitcoin SV (BSV).

What excites me most right now is seeing the White House taking an interest. Bo Hines, who's leading Trump's digital asset strategy, released a report that references CoinGeek articles and potentially acknowledges Craig Wright as Satoshi Nakamoto. The report doesn't take sides but appears to lay the groundwork for letting the free market decide which blockchain technology prevails - the fastest, cheapest, most scalable, most legal, and most compliant.

During our discussion, we explored practical applications like Text Bitcoin, which allows anyone to send BSV via simple SMS without complex wallet setup. Casey shared how she's been using this to introduce people to peer-to-peer cash - often sending just a penny to demonstrate how microtransactions can work without any traditional banking infrastructure.

The technical side of our conversation got particularly fascinating when Todd explained how IPv6 integration with Bitcoin could revolutionize block propagation. The multicast capabilities could dramatically improve network efficiency for terabyte-sized blocks, allowing billions of IoT devices to interact on the blockchain.

We also had a spirited debate about whether cryptocurrency's future is multi-chain or will ultimately converge on a single blockchain. While some argue that multiple chains will coexist, Todd made a compelling technical case for why a single, scalable blockchain is physically necessary for global adoption - comparing a multi-chain approach to trying to build a Ferrari by connecting three small engines with belts and cogs.

Perhaps the most profound moment came toward the end when Spam shared thoughts about the difference between horizontal peer-to-peer systems and vertical control systems. Bitcoin's true power may lie in its ability to restore heart-to-heart connections between people in a world increasingly dominated by centralized control structures.

Whether you're new to Bitcoin or have been following its evolution for years, I believe this conversation offered valuable insights into where we've been and where we're heading. It's not just about technology - it's about freedom, human connection, and creating a more equitable world.

The Bitcoin Hijacking You NEVER Heard About: How to Get it.

The Bitcoin Hijacking Nobody Is Talking About

I had an interesting conversation yesterday that I just had to share with you all. While helping someone with some paperwork, our discussion turned to cryptocurrency, and I found myself explaining what I believe is one of the biggest untold stories in the financial world: the hijacking of Bitcoin.

Many of you know I've been in the crypto space for years, but what you might not know is that what most people call "Bitcoin" today isn't the original vision that Satoshi Nakamoto described in his white paper. In 2017, something extraordinary happened that changed everything - the Bilderberg group (yes, those powerful banking elites who meet in Switzerland) allegedly orchestrated a hostile takeover of Bitcoin.

What does this mean? They hired developers to fundamentally alter Bitcoin's design, transforming it from "peer-to-peer electronic cash" into what I call "the banker's Federal Reserve coin." The original Bitcoin was designed to remove control of money from the traditional financial system - and that's exactly why it was targeted.

This wasn't the only move they made. Remember when Ethereum was created? What many don't realize is that Bank of America, Microsoft, and JP Morgan Chase were reportedly involved from the beginning with Vitalik Buterin. This was all part of the strategy to subvert people from the original Bitcoin design.

The good news is that Bitcoin's original vision lives on through BSV (Bitcoin SV). It's been restored back to the very first block, maintaining Satoshi's vision of digital cash. The bad news? It's been systematically suppressed - banned from virtually every American exchange and censored across social media platforms. Even with X's commitment to free speech, this topic remains heavily restricted.

Why is BSV so threatening? It's capable of processing a million transactions per second - completely outperforming legacy payment systems like Mastercard and Visa that run on technology from the 1960s and 70s. BSV is not just a cryptocurrency; it's the data layer of the internet that was always meant to be.

Here's something that blew my mind recently: The White House report on digital assets by Bo Hines contains a link in section 209 to an article featuring the person who many believe is the real Satoshi Nakamoto. Even more shocking? Satoshi reportedly sold 80,000 BTC in the last three weeks but kept all his BSV. That's a powerful signal that mainstream media won't touch.

Right now, BSV is trading around $26 with a market cap under $600 million - potentially its lowest price ever. I'm not saying this is a get-rich-quick opportunity; in fact, it's quite the opposite. This is like investing in railroad infrastructure in the 1800s - it might take time, but owning a piece of the original blockchain could secure your family's future for generations.

If you're curious, one of the few places you can still purchase BSV is Orange Gateway, based in Iceland. You can buy up to $1,000 worth without KYC requirements.

I'm sharing this not as financial advice but because I believe people deserve to know the full story behind Bitcoin's competing visions. The powers that be don't want this information spreading, which only makes me more convinced of its importance.

Check out the full video here for more details on this controversial perspective that challenges everything we've been told about Bitcoin.

White House #Blockchain Plan EXPOSES Satoshi's True Identity?

Bo Hines and the White House Crypto Plan: What You Need to Know

Today I want to share my thoughts on the new White House report on digital assets that's making waves in the crypto community. At 163 pages, it's a hefty read, but I took the time to go through it all so you don't have to.

The first thing that struck me was who's behind this report: Bo Hines. If you're not familiar with him, Hines is a Yale graduate and former football player who has now been appointed as the Executive Director of the President's Council of Digital Assets. Pretty interesting background for someone now shaping cryptocurrency policy in the United States, right?

I was initially skeptical (as we all should be) about someone from Yale being put in charge of such an important initiative. Was this another case of the secret societies planting their people in positions of power? But after digging into his background, I couldn't find any evidence linking him to Skull and Bones or other secretive groups. He seems to be genuinely focused on creating a framework that could make America "the crypto capital of the world."

What I appreciate most about this report is its neutrality. Unlike previous government approaches to crypto, it doesn't push one blockchain over another or favor specific cryptocurrencies. Instead, it lays out a framework for how regulation could work while allowing the free market to determine the best solutions.

The plan is described in three phases: demolition (removing burdensome regulations), construction (legislation), and implementation. We're currently moving from the first to the second phase, with the report serving as a blueprint for what's to come.

One of the most interesting aspects of the report is its references to Satoshi Nakamoto's early writings about cryptocurrency exchanges. Even more intriguing is a link to content by Craig Wright, who claims to be Satoshi. While I'm not saying this confirms anything, it's certainly noteworthy that the White House report would include such a reference.

The report also emphasizes the role of stablecoins in increasing demand for US Treasuries and maintaining dollar dominance, which aligns with broader economic strategies we've been seeing.

It's important to remember that while Bo Hines may be the architect of this report, our constitutional system means that Congress will ultimately decide how these recommendations are implemented. This isn't about one person making all the decisions but about setting a direction for America's approach to digital assets.

The Genius Behind Stable Coins: How Digital Dollars Could Reshape Global Finance

Today I want to talk about something that's been on my mind lately - the future of stable coins and their potential to completely transform our global financial system. In my recent video discussion, I explored a fascinating theory about how the US might be positioning itself to dominate the digital currency space through stable coins running on blockchain rails.

The conversation began with an analysis of a recent "notional sale" of 80,000 BTC. Unlike regular sales where cash changes hands, notional sales involve assets changing ownership on paper without actual currency movement. This led me to speculate: what if these Bitcoin movements are connected to US treasuries that could be backing a stable coin called "Money" that runs on BSV blockchain?

Here's what makes this theory particularly interesting - the Genius Act legislation requires stable coins to be backed one-to-one by US treasuries. This creates a brilliant mechanism for the US to export its national debt globally while maintaining dollar dominance. When people around the world use digital dollars via their smartphones, they're essentially buying into US debt without realizing it.

I noticed something strange recently - Money's price peg to the dollar has completely flatlined, showing unprecedented stability. This could indicate a massive influx of treasury-backed liquidity, potentially connected to those Bitcoin movements we've been tracking.

The implications are enormous. BSV may not become our day-to-day payment method as many enthusiasts hope, but instead serve as the rails upon which stable coins like Money operate. This distinction is crucial - the blockchain that scales enough to handle global transaction volume will power the financial system, even if people are using stable coins for their actual payments.

For developing nations, this creates a difficult choice: resist digital dollarization or embrace it while developing more sophisticated tax systems. Countries with high inflation might see their citizens rapidly adopt digital dollars through smartphones, effectively dollarizing their economies from the ground up.

What's particularly fascinating is how this strategy could simultaneously address America's national debt crisis while cementing its financial dominance for decades to come. By creating a digital dollar that the world wants to use, America can export inflation and fund its debts through global adoption.

While this remains speculative, the connections between the Genius Act, stable coin regulation, BSV's scaling capability, and recent cryptocurrency movements suggest we might be witnessing the early stages of a financial revolution.

How one man will cause the next financial crisis

Why Michael Saylor Could Trigger the Next Financial Crisis

Have you been watching what's happening with MicroStrategy and its Bitcoin accumulation strategy? I've been following this situation closely, and after watching Patrick Kenny's recent video on the topic, I felt compelled to dig even deeper into what might be one of the most precarious financial situations developing right before our eyes.

Michael Saylor, the CEO of MicroStrategy, has positioned his company as one of the largest corporate holders of BTC. But this isn't Saylor's first rodeo with volatile market valuations. Back in the late 1990s, MicroStrategy was valued at $6-7 billion before losing 99% of its value virtually overnight. This historical context is crucial to understanding the potential risks in his current strategy.

What's particularly concerning is Saylor's mantra of "never sell" BTC, encouraging others to hold indefinitely while MicroStrategy continues to accumulate. This creates a Ponzi-like structure where constant new investment is needed to maintain price levels. The strategy works brilliantly on the way up but could be catastrophic when the tide turns.

Recently, we've seen something remarkable happen: approximately 80,000 BTC from Satoshi-era wallets have moved and been liquidated. In a true free market, this should have caused a significant price correction. Instead, we've seen Tether print additional funds to maintain market stability. This artificial support can't continue indefinitely.

There are two regulatory developments that I believe will force this situation to a head within the next 24 months:

First, the Genius Act has already passed, requiring stablecoins like Tether to prove legitimate backing. The New York Attorney General's previous case against Tether established that they didn't have the assets they claimed. They now have about 24 months to become legitimate or cease operations.

Second, the upcoming Clarity Act (not yet passed) will establish standards for "mature blockchains" that aren't controlled by a single entity or group. I predict many cryptocurrencies, including BTC and Ethereum, won't qualify under these standards.

When these regulatory changes take full effect, and Tether can no longer print unbacked currency to prop up the market, what happens to MicroStrategy's BTC holdings? If Saylor starts selling, it could trigger a cascade effect that collapses the entire market.

This is why I've taken the controversial position that BSV (which I consider the original Bitcoin protocol) should be removed from all exchanges within this timeframe. Instead, it should only be available through direct onboarding platforms where users maintain control of their keys. This would protect it from the market manipulation and eventual crash that I see coming.

I understand the appeal of get-rich-quick schemes. At 27, I became a millionaire through hard work in business, but I lost it all through lack of discipline and poor financial management. This experience taught me the value of long-term thinking over short-term gains.

The coming years will bring a paradigm shift as blockchain technology integrates with advancing AI capabilities. Those focused on building sustainable value rather than speculative gains will be positioned to thrive through this transition.

What do you think about Saylor's strategy? Are you concerned about Tether's influence on the market? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

BitPay Affiliate Model: What #BitCoin Community Needs Now

EDGE WALLET MISSING MSV CONNECTION

I'm excited to share that we've just completed our first test run of streaming our X Spaces conversations directly to YouTube! It's been something I've wanted to try for a while, and with Harris's technical wizardry, we finally made it happen.

During this test stream, we had a fantastic conversation about what's really needed to drive Bitcoin adoption at the grassroots level. Casey shared her recent experiences talking with local farmers who are genuinely interested in accepting Bitcoin as payment but are struggling with the technical barriers and lack of appropriate tools.

What became abundantly clear is that we're missing something crucial in the BSV ecosystem: an all-in-one merchant solution that combines payment processing with accounting and customer relationship management. Imagine a farmer at a market being able to take Bitcoin payments, track inventory, manage taxes, and build a customer list all in one simple application. That's the tool we need to create.

Raphael brought up an interesting model from the early days of Bitcoin adoption—BitPay's affiliate program. This allowed Bitcoin enthusiasts to earn commissions by onboarding merchants to the payment system. Implementing something similar for BSV could mobilize our passionate community to spread adoption one business at a time.

One bright spot in our conversation was the positive experiences people have had introducing the Money stablecoin (built on BSV) to potential users. The simplicity of a stable value combined with the efficiency of the Bitcoin protocol makes for an excellent onboarding experience. As Raphael colorfully put it, it's like the "gateway drug" to Bitcoin adoption.

We also discussed the need to get BSV back onto more mainstream wallets like Edge, which previously supported it but dropped integration due to technical challenges. Edge is particularly appealing because it was designed by accountants and has built-in features that would make it ideal for merchant adoption.

Looking ahead, we're exploring ways to support community initiatives through crowdfunding. Casey mentioned upcoming opportunities to represent BSV at farmer and homesteader events, which could be perfect venues to demonstrate the practical benefits of Bitcoin payments to receptive audiences.

The beauty of the original Bitcoin protocol is its versatility—it truly can do everything from micropayments to data storage to smart contracts. Our challenge isn't technical capability but effective communication and user-friendly implementation.

Satoshi Wallet Moves, Iceberg Connections, & Terranode - State of BitCoi...

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?

The GENIUS Act & MNEE: Secret Stablecoin Revolution Begins

Could the Bitcoin revolution actually happen through a stablecoin? Recent evidence suggests it might, and it could be tied directly to Satoshi Nakamoto's recent moves and the GENIUS Act.

The Perfect Flatline: Unprecedented Stability

Something extraordinary has happened with MNEE stablecoin, built on the original Bitcoin protocol. Until recently, its price chart showed typical stablecoin behavior - small fluctuations up and down, maintaining general stability but with visible market movements.

Then, on July 29th, something changed. MNEE's price chart suddenly flatlined completely - achieving perfect stability that's unprecedented in the stablecoin world. This wasn't a minor improvement in stability; it was a complete transformation to perfect flatness.

The Satoshi Connection

This perfect flatline appeared just days after Galaxy Digital announced that Satoshi's 80,000 BTC was entering what's called a "no notion sale" on July 25th. This means the BTC wasn't liquidated to fiat currency (which would trigger a taxable event) but was likely converted to US treasuries or derivatives.

If Satoshi converted 80,000 BTC to treasuries, where would those treasuries go? The timing suggests a direct connection to MNEE stablecoin's sudden perfect stability. A massive influx of treasuries - potentially billions of dollars worth - could explain why MNEE suddenly achieved perfect stability when no other stablecoin has managed this feat.

The GENIUS Act: Compliance vs. Resistance

The GENIUS Act has created a regulatory framework for stablecoins in the US, giving providers roughly a two-year timeline to become fully compliant - with complete auditing, transparency, and legitimate treasury backing.

MNEE stablecoin seems to have positioned itself perfectly for this new regulatory landscape. As Ron (the Canadian developer behind MNEE) and his team focused exclusively on US stablecoin adoption and 100% compliance, Tether took a different approach - continuing to print more tokens without demonstrating the same commitment to transparency.

The Bitcoin Revolution Through Compliance

This development suggests the Bitcoin revolution might happen through an unexpected path: fully compliant stablecoin adoption enabled by the GENIUS Act. MNEE stablecoin, built on the original Bitcoin protocol, appears to be at the forefront of this revolution.

For businesses looking to adopt cryptocurrency solutions, a perfectly stable, fully compliant digital dollar provides the ideal onramp - especially compared to volatile cryptocurrencies or questionably-backed stablecoins like Tether.

A Warning: Get Off The Exchanges

If this analysis is correct, those holding assets on Tether-backed exchanges face significant risk. When "the music stops" with Tether and BTC - which seems increasingly likely as the GENIUS Act's compliance deadline approaches - you don't want to be tied to that ship when it goes down.

The strategic move appears to be getting the original Bitcoin off all exchanges and bucket shops, focusing instead on legitimate Bitcoin transactions through compliant channels like MNEE stablecoin.

While this may create short-term price volatility, the long-term vision (2+ years) suggests a more stable, compliant, and ultimately more valuable ecosystem built around the original Bitcoin protocol and properly-backed stablecoins like MNEE.

The revolution may not be what many expected, but it might already be underway through the perfect stability of MNEE stablecoin.
