The Bitaxe, Explained: The Open-Source Bitcoin Miner Anyone Can Run

Is Bitcoin Mining Worth It in 2026? Home vs. Hosted, Honestly

AI Is Making Every Terminal Value Less Trustworthy Except Bitcoin's
AI is shortening the life of every corporate moat. Bitcoin offers investors scarcity without corporate disruption risk or monetary dilution.
"We're living in a world of black swans and everything is accelerating. You cannot rely on a single service provider." @bergealex4 on why Arkade Intents creates a marketplace instead of another single point of failure. x.com/TFTC21/status/…
BTCPay Server ships v2.4.3 after weeks of security hardening. "I wish we could go back in time 1 month and ship it then. Before AI frontier models completely changed the game and tipped the scale in favor of attackers." - @r0ckstardev x.com/BtcpayServer/s…
"If America yields the lead here, someone else writes the rules for how money moves on the internet. That's a failure of leadership." @patrickjwitt argues other countries are waiting on the US to pass crypto regulation before writing their own.
Palantir's new system fuses satellites, radars, and cameras into a single real-time surveillance feed.

New research from @bitcoinpolicy, @cygnal, and Neighborhood Bitcoin surveyed registered voters to find out which Bitcoin messages actually land with everyday Americans. The results should change how Bitcoiners talk about Bitcoin. 94% of voters have heard of Bitcoin and 61% want to learn more about owning it. But 74% have little to no trust the dollar will hold its value. The audience is there and the macro tailwind is real. The messages that work best are the ones that address people's actual concerns about control, safety, security, access, and ease of use. "You decide how much, even if that's just $10" and "You can track the activity yourself" were the top performers. Personal control and low barriers to entry resonate. The messages that flopped are the ones Bitcoiners love most. "Digital gold" confused focus group participants and ranked near the bottom of all 19 messages tested. Industry jargon doesn't land with normal people. The most trusted messengers aren't influencers or CEOs. 33% said they'd trust a financial advisor they already work with, 25% a retirement planning expert, and 23% a friend or family member who owns Bitcoin. Everyday Bitcoiners are the most powerful advocates for the next wave of adoption. After reading the tested messages, "not interested at all" dropped from 39% to 32% and "very or extremely interested" rose from 19% to 24%. Stop talking about Bitcoin the way Bitcoiners talk about Bitcoin. Start with what people actually care about. btcpolicy.org/articles/the-b…
"People had hundreds of thousands of dollars on these devices and had no idea how to move their funds." @bergealex4 on why the "buy a ColdCard and figure it out" era is over. x.com/TFTC21/status/…

"The market thinks they've lost control and have no more firepower. What we're looking at is much more an opening salvo than a last shot." -@JohnArnoldTen31 We discuss: ⚡ The Treasury's "whatever it takes" moment ⚡ Bitcoin's breakout to $80K ⚡ Building a new dollar system
"An open source ban is coming. They're not going to call it that." @DavidSacks breaks down the step-by-step regulatory capture playbook to kill open source AI.
"Self-custody doesn't mean you have to do it by yourself." @bergealex4 on why distributing trust is the real lesson from the ColdCard reckoning. x.com/TFTC21/status/…

"The old system is broken. Bitcoin does not make me nervous." - Fed Chair Kevin Warsh @jvisserlabs breaks down why this is a Bitcoin presidency and the old guard can't help you going forward.
"Exposure to Bitcoin is not Bitcoin. Many want Bitcoin upside without the responsibility of holding bitcoin. But that responsibility is the point." - @jimmysong
