What happens when a Bitcoiner sells everything and moves to El Salvador with no plan B? I sat down with Jon Byrne and asked him. He'd never even visited El Salvador before he bought the one way ticket. He said there was nothing to lose... Stay behind in the fiat world and you've already lost! In El Salvador, almost "everyone" already has a Bitcoin wallet. Jon says the hard part now is giving people a way to earn Bitcoin, so he built one. Get hired for any job, get paid directly, no bankster approval-to-use-your-money needed and no ID required! Freedom and sovereignty built in one app! @BitTaskerdotcom onboarded almost 1,000 users in eight months, and nearly all of them Salvadoran. Plumbers, drivers, coaches, developers, all earning sats for real work. His developers came out of @cuboplus, the school @stacyherbert and @maxkeiser built through the @bitcoinofficesv. Jon says the knowledge those kids are walking out with is unbelievable. One of them, Dan, went straight from the classroom into a full time job building on Bitcoin for a Salvadoran company. This is why El Salvador is hope! Young Salvadorans learning to build, then getting paid in Bitcoin to do it, in their own, beautiful country 🇸🇻 This is the part of El Salvador nobody outside the country sees! So please help us share this post and the podcast so the truth about El Salvador can come out and inspire the world. New episode is live. Be ready to be mindblown 👇

🚨 JUST IN: You read it here first! Coinbase Ireland has been slapped with a €3.25 million fine after regulators uncovered years of customer fund protection failures, including shortfalls reaching €5.2 million. No customer losses were reported, but the regulatory bill is adding up. news.bitcoin.com/regulation-…

So basically, today PHP got two critical bugs that let anyone run code on your server without even logging in, which is bad, and then the details leaked before the patch was even out, which is worse, and it works on WordPress and MediaWiki and Magento and Joomla and Laravel, and Censys says like 1.5 million servers are running a version with no fix, so the NSA was like "take your system offline," and the FBI was like "take your system offline," and CISA and the UK and CERT-EU were all like "take your system offline," and then the Prime Minister of Japan, the actual Prime Minister, posted at 5:55 in the morning telling 48.8 million people to take their system offline, so everyone took their system offline, like the Dutch cybersecurity agency took its own website offline, and the Dutch parliament went offline, and the Port of Rotterdam went offline, and Finland and France and Denmark started pulling government sites, and Wikipedia went down, and Archive.org went down, and Asana and GOG and Something Awful went down, and the University of Vienna's webmail went down for some reason, and that's just PHP. Because GitLab also dropped a CVSS 10.0, which is the highest score they give out, for a bug that's been there since 2014, so that's every self-hosted GitLab for twelve years, and then LiteLLM 1.107.0 got hijacked and shipped a credential stealer and a remote access trojan in every single wheel and the Docker images, including latest, and you didn't even have to import it, just installing it was enough, and it's the second time this year, and then Railway paused every deployment on the entire platform because someone got into the environment variables, so now everyone has to rotate every secret they've ever stored there, and TiDB Cloud said someone was walking around inside with stolen credentials for basically a month and an extortion group says they took 10.6 terabytes, and Zeabur got breached for the second time in two months and is just shutting down, like the whole company, and Node.js patched remote code execution and a TLS bypass, and CISA says Plex is being actively exploited, and someone took over 300 Tor exit relays to steal SSH passwords, and SafePay ransomware has hit over 600 critical infrastructure orgs, and India's biggest bank filed a data loss incident, and Japan has been in an official state of emergency in cyberspace since October 9, which honestly explains the 5:55 AM post. Oh, and eMudhra, a certificate authority that's issued over 60 million certificates, whose entire job is proving websites are who they say they are, was supposed to be using private keys that are random numbers over a hundred digits long, and one of them was 4. Just 4. And the others were like 66 and 237. Anyway, it's Wednesday.

This is France Is this what civil war looks like ?

After of preaching bitcoin to my brother for years… Today he called me saying bitcoin could be the only solution to the problems his generation faces. He is experiencing the effects of inflation and asking questions. That’s a win. We all find bitcoin when the time is right.

🔄 Swap BTC for USDT on Bitcoin. Atomically, over Lightning, straight in your browser.

Aave ended 2025 with around $7B in BTC-pegged assets. On Ethereum V3 alone, around $3B of WBTC is supplied, while only around 2% of it is actually borrowed I discussed this problem with @0xDuckworth from @aave in New York during the nice omakase dinner And he confirmed me that this problem can be converted in a huge opportunity for Aave through this massive unlock of liquidity by moving towards native BTC loans At the time, WBTC borrow APY on Aave was around 0.34% The problem is that people borrowing against their Bitcoin are not necessarily the same people borrowing WBTC in @ethereum DeFi People with large native BTC positions don’t want to sell their Bitcoin. They borrow against it instead. Native BTC-backed loans today can cost around 8-16% But these borrowers don’t necessarily want WBTC. Wrapping BTC can be a taxable event depending on the jurisdiction, and bridging adds another layer of risk. With USDT coming back to @Bitcoin through RGB, it will be possible to build native BTC/USDT lending fully onchain and programmable, without wrapping or bridging BTC. Aave already has the liquidity Native BTC lending can unlock a much bigger lending market for it

USDt 在比特幣網路上的重新發布，是基於 @utexocom 與 @RGB_Hub 所構建的基礎設施。RGB 則是促成這一切的結算層。@RGBAssociation
