At @SteaknShake, employees earn 21¢ in bitcoin for every hour worked, alongside their regular pay. @Fold_app's Bitcoin Bonus Program lets workers start accumulating an asset, one shift at a time.
I wrote about why that matters in a recent @WSJ piece: partners.wsj.com/the-nakamot…

10 October: New Moon at 15:49 UT (now). Start of lunation 1284.
The next few days are a great time for stargazing. Download The Evening Sky Map (PDF) at skymaps.com/tesm/ and begin exploring the Universe with your eyes, binoculars or a telescope! 🔭

It will be visible in the UK from Sunday 25 October into the morning of Monday 26 October. 🌕

I have managed highly successful multi million dollar enterprise #bitcoin #lightningnetwork nodes for more than half a decade and I have learned a lot. Now I am putting together an interactive learning environment for aspiring professional lightning node managers.
There will be a simulated environment on a regular domain as well as an open source download for local automatic regtest node deployment in addition to the GUI and terminal simulation.
We need more professional node managers and the best way to get them is to have a zero risk learning environment to build confidence.
Still a lot to build but I will be dropping teasers here and there until I make it all public. Lightning is just too fun. Can't stop won't stop.

“Bitcoin is doomed because miners won’t be profitable when all the coins are mined”
“Bitcoin needs inflation of new coins for miners to remain profitable in the long term”

Bitcoin's consensus rules have never been written down outside of code. The only authoritative answer to whether a block is valid has been whatever Bitcoin Core does.
So every independent node has had to shadow Core instead of building against a shared reference, and the ones that drifted became chain-split risks.
The Orange Paper is a formal mathematical specification of Bitcoin's consensus rules. Signature validation, UTXO accounting, script execution, and block structure are defined precisely enough for any mathematician, engineer, or court to read and check.
Bitcoin Commons (@BtcCommons) has spent the past 12 months building a from-scratch Rust node against it. Z3 checks consensus paths against the spec on merge, and differential replay compares the node to Core across 900,000+ mainnet blocks.
The spec belongs to everyone. Any implementation can verify itself against it, Core included, and each one that does makes Bitcoin harder to capture through a single codebase.

💫 The October 2026 edition of The Evening Sky Map (PDF) is available for download at skymaps.com/tesm/. It features easy-to-use sky maps for the northern & southern hemispheres, and equatorial regions. Enjoy exploring the night sky! 🔭

The amount of Bitcoins total supply held by individuals peaked in 2024 at 73%.
In the past 3 years retail has paper handed their coins, and individuals now only hold 62% of Bitcoins supply.
Once Wall Street has shaken all the apples from the tree, they will let this thing rip higher than you think. 🚀

Can Bitcoin seeds be generated by hand?
Dice. Paper. Math.
No computer. No cloud.
Just you and the numbers. Out in nature.
This is Codex32.
A method for generating and verifying Bitcoin secret material using pen, paper, and mathematics, without an electronic machine.
Artist @FractalEncrypt uses mirrored analog computers to calculate bitcoin seeds, out in nature, far from any electronic devices.
The process can also use Shamir Secret Sharing to split the secret into shares that can later be recombined for recovery.
Full thread from 2024:
xitter.cf/FractalEncrypt/status/…
This is Sovereignty Through Mathematics.
(h/t @knutsvanholm )
A new kind of Bitcoin Hardware using ancient technology!
In this mega-explainer-thread, we'll get into how to use Codex32 to generate bitcoin seeds, calculate and verify the checksums, and use Shamir Secret Sharing to split and recover the secret keys.
By the end of this thread, you'll have learned;
- What exactly is Codex32?
- How does it work?
- Why is it useful?
- How can I make my own Codex32 paper computers for free?

$BTC holders repeatedly entered the stress zone that defined prior bear-market bottoms, allowing supply to change hands as weaker hands capitulated.
The breakout sharply reduced holder losses. A sustainable bottom now requires most supply to remain outside the Stress Zone.

The US and Mexico traded an estimated $872 billion in goods in 2025. Mexico is America's largest trading partner.
Most of the payments behind that trade still move on correspondent banking rails built decades ago.
Today we changed where those rails can end.

On-chain analysis of bitcoin holders suggests today's environment is similar to the 2023 breakout that sent bitcoin from $20k to $125k.
For the first time since the ATH, short-term holders have positions that are meaningfully in profit, improving buyer sentiment. @_checkonchain

There's been elevated interest in multi-vendor multisig since the Coldcard vulnerability disclosure a month ago.
Multi-vendor multisig can reduce overall exposure to device vulnerabilities, but there are tradeoffs to consider as well.

Quantum-ready Bitcoin in practice:
To get ready, you send to a new Taproot address. With OP_CHECKSHRINCS by @blksresearch, it holds a Schnorr key and a post-quantum key. You keep spending with Schnorr at today's cost. When a quantum computer arrives, you spend with the post-quantum key.

In materials science, fatigue cracks can follow a power law for most of their life. Then, near the end, growth accelerates into fracture.
Bitcoin’s monetization may follow a similar path: a power law until the dollar-denominated credit system fractures and Bitcoin breaks to the upside.
