The only chart worth paying attention to.

Seems pretty notable that despite all of the pivots to AI from miners, hash rate for bitcoin is quietly almost back at record highs

Wait @RichardHeartWin and $HEX $PLS was a scam the whole time?? If only someone had warned you years ago.

Replying to @Febrocas @100kETH

Just because you get away with a scam doesn’t mean it’s not a scam. If you hold anything related to hex or pulse you should already know that. You are the victim of a bonding curve exploit and just because the SEC doesn’t know how those work doesn’t mean people like you didn’t lose everything in a literal scam. A scam so good you STILL don’t understand how you have been scammed.

This is how you look when you say XBT is the real bitcoin.

This is how you look when you say Pokémon cards are a better investment than Bitcoin

Ordinals has no smart contracts, and inherits the security properties of Bitcoin itself, making it the ultimate medium for digital art.

Imagine being so retarded that you actually “invest” in a bitcoin privacy test network 😂😂😂 zcash:native

I don't know who needs to hear this, but bitcoin:native will absorb all of it: → Privacy → Smart contracts → Tokenized assets → Stablecoin rails → RWAs → ZK proofs → Rollups → Cross-border remittances → whatever buzzword your shitcoin bag is pumping this cycle Every altcoin is a testnet for Bitcoin. Good ideas migrate to the hardest money. Bet against that and you're donating capital. 🟧

Bitcoin privacy will evolve with layered protocols Just as HTTP evolved to HTTPS by adding an SSL encryption layer - not by changing from HTTP

@ThorTorrensSep 23

Here’s what most people are still not realizing with $ZEC Zcash won’t become #1 because it’s the most popular coin It will be #1 because it becomes the standard The internet didn’t move from HTTP to HTTPS because the market fell in love with encryption It evolved into that because sending everything in the clear is simply unacceptable Privacy doesn’t even have to win the popularity contest. It just becomes the mandate.

Imagine being a $ZEC holder now and finding out that bitcoin stole their only narrative 😂😂😂

The honest caveat: The private transfer layer is interesting and serious. But peg-in and peg-out — moving normal BTC into and out of the shielded system — are still the hard part and are not fully specified in this paper.

@Baloo_BTCSep 25

My simple take: Shielded Bitcoin is not “Bitcoin privacy is solved.” It is more like: Can we use Bitcoin as the settlement board, and run a private Zcash-like note system on top, without changing Bitcoin? Promising. Serious. Still early.

@Baloo_BTCSep 25

Bitcoin itself does not verify the private payment. Bitcoin just stores and orders the data. Separate Shielded Bitcoin software checks the proofs, rejects invalid transfers, and rebuilds the private state. That’s why it does not need a fork.

@Baloo_BTCSep 25

The clever part is PIPEs. PIPEs try to lock real BTC behind cryptographic conditions. Instead of Bitcoin Script checking private rules, the math makes it impossible to create the Bitcoin signature unless the required proof exists.

@Baloo_BTCSep 25

Inside those envelopes are private “notes.” A note is like a hidden Bitcoin UTXO: - it has value - it belongs to someone - it can be spent later But the public can’t see the amount, sender, receiver, or which old note was spent.

@Baloo_BTCSep 25

So how does anyone know nobody cheated? Zero-knowledge proofs. The proof says: “I spent valid notes, I own them, and inputs equal outputs.” But it reveals none of the private details.
