Excited to share this interview with @TheBlueMatt tomorrow. In addition to a full breakdown of BIP 54 (Great Consensus Cleanup) by @darosior, you'll also get Matt's full review of BIP 360 and its competing output types, e.g. P2TRv2. Dropping tomorrow on @MARAFoundation_ TV.
The new generation of Bitcoin cryptographers is being led by these men: @liameagen and @robin_linus — I only wish @n1ckler was in the picture too! Can’t wait for Shielded CSV #reckless mainnet launch https://t.co/Rh0rTs14NE
“Bitcoin’s lack of representation [in Washington] is evidence of its meaningfully superior decentralization.” @DavidZell_ shares how the broader crypto industry — fueled by ICO funding — had an outsized voice on Capitol Hill that only seemed to benefit Bitcoin when convenient for those organizations.
Looking forward to co-hosting Bitcoin Research After Hours on Sunday, October 25th in Lugano! Of course, with the support of @MARAFoundation_ and the team behind PIPEs @allocinitxyz 🤩
Whenever someone say “X on Bitcoin without a soft fork,” make them explain the bridging mechanism in detail. Shielded CSV is an L2 that would absolutely need a soft fork to execute trustlessly on Bitcoin. I’m honestly disappointed in @BitcoinMagazine for this title. They should know better.
Got a chance to breakdown what's happening with both post-quantum and "post-AI" (we're doing this now?) algos and output types for Bitcoin. Thanks @watchbmtv and @BitcoinMagazine for having me on.
"I would love for a Monero not to need to exist," says @cakewallet COO @sethforprivacy "If Bitcoin's privacy got good enough that you could use it and have almost as good privacy as Monero without massive hoops to jump through... that's better." Full interview below on the fight for Bitcoin privacy and why Seth and Cake Wallet expanded to Bitcoin after being Monero-only in 2018.
COO of @cakewallet @sethforprivacy discusses the biggest challenges facing Bitcoin privacy — from regulation to UI/UX and technical hurdles — and how the @TornadoCash sanctions and @SamouraiWallet prosecutions affected colleagues building privacy tools. Although U.S. sanctions on Tornado Cash were lifted in March 2025, co-founder Roman Storm was subsequently convicted on one criminal count and continues to face prosecution on two others. Samourai Wallet’s co-founders were sentenced to five and four years in prison in November 2025. #freesamourai
Overseeing deployment for what is arguably the leading privacy-focused Bitcoin wallet on the market, @cakewallet COO @sethforprivacy shares the impacts of the @SamouraiWallet and @TornadoCash cases on privacy-focused developers—amongst other key insights dropping on the pod tomorrow ⏰
