Working with MESA Lab, a regime-backed research lab, Geedge is reportedly building behavioral profiles of individuals based on their social media, location data, telecommunications, and online activity. AI models could then sift through profiles and spotlight those who might be a political risk. There is no evidence the technology is finalized or deployed, but if deployed, China's surveillance system could become a tool to chill dissent before it ever begins.

Are we treating Bitcoin like a dead asset or the revolutionary electronic cash system Satoshi intended? I sat down with Xiaohui Liu and Mate Tokay to discuss why the current ‘ossification' culture is a betrayal of Bitcoin's original potential. Right now, Bitcoin feels like a desolate place. We are witnessing a massive brain drain, with developers leaving because the culture has become obsessed with keeping the chain “frozen.” People treat it like a digital collectible, a shiny rock to lock in a custody wallet until the Fed crashes. That's not the vision. That's stagnation. We have settled for “digital gold” because we forgot how to use the money. The missing link is OP_CAT. This isn't new code. It was originally disabled by Satoshi himself before he left the building. It wasn't deleted. It's still there, waiting in the code, capable of restoration. It is the key to unlocking the “magic internet money” vibe we all felt in the early days. Restoring it honors the original white paper—a system for electronic cash, not just a store of value for ETFs. Xiaohui Liu dropped a truth bomb during our chat that should anger every Bitcoiner. He argued that Ethereum and thousands of other blockchains would not even exist had Bitcoin Core allowed Vitalik to build on Bitcoin Script originally. Think about that. We wouldn't need the altcoin casino if Bitcoin had remained programmable. We could have a one-chain future where programmability eliminates the need for Ethereum, Solana, and the rest of the crypto circus, consolidating value back into the Bitcoin we actually love. But we have a problem, and its name is Wall Street. Watch on: Odysee | YouTube | X | Rumble | Bitchute | Vigilante.tv The institutional adoption everyone cheers for is the very thing killing the innovation. ETFs and high-profile figures like Michael Saylor threaten to ossify the network completely. Saylor claims to run a development company, but let's be real: he doesn't understand the technical upgrades necessary for Bitcoin's future. He just wants a number to go up so he can buy more convertible debt. We need programmable money more than ever, not a centralized asset class for the same bankers we are trying to escape. The system won't fix itself. You can't wait for Core developers to solve the problems they created. It's time to stop settling for their narrative. You need to master your journey in the crypto space and look into solutions like the OP_CAT Layer before you get left with a hollowed-out version of what Satoshi built. We have to embrace the Bitcoin reality that requires active participation, not passive holding. This bifurcation in the crypto space is happening—are you going to follow the institutions or the code? Thankfully, you don't have to do this alone. Join us at The Crypto Vigilante and we'll help you see the writing on the wall. Follow me on X @VamosVigilante Want to be on the pulse of crypto?

"Bitcoin is not physical gold. You can kill Bitcoin." Matthew Kratter — who runs Bitcoin University, did a PhD in literature under René Girard, and ran global macro at Peter Thiel's hedge fund — joins the show to explain why he now holds nearly everything he owns in Bitcoin, and why he's become one of the loudest voices warning that Bitcoin is under attack from the inside. We trace the improbable path first: from Girard's seminar table to growing Thiel's $50M Roth into a $2 billion fund, and the 20 years trading that taught him to spot financial engineering "traps" — the same TradFi tricks he says are now being smuggled back into Bitcoin. Then it turns to the civil war happening right now: how Bitcoin Core blew open OP_RETURN and "went rogue," why spam and CSAM are an existential risk to node runners, what BIP-110 actually does, and who really controls the network (hint: not the miners, devs, or exchanges). His thesis throughout — consensus flows from culture — and his answer to all of it: stop being a spectator, run a node, and mine from home. Subscribe so you never miss an episode.

"Keeping Bitcoin running is the primary concern here. Making sure that Bitcoin is available to be used as money by everyday people, any actor who wants to come onto Bitcoin and send one UTXO from one to another. That's the most important piece for me when thinking about defending Bitcoin.And the biggest difference, of course, is that this is a decentralised system. There is no central controller. There's no central control room giving out commands and saying 'this has to change, you must do this.'We are a decentralised group of individuals who are acting on the network. And so the defence of the system is not down to, say, the CEO dictating that everyone has to have their password be 64 characters and change it every three months, which is bad practise, by the way. It's everyone working together to do their part. So that's the biggest difference." ~ Luke de Wolf I sat down with Luke de Wolf to talk about the real security risks facing Bitcoin today. Luke has spent his career protecting critical industrial control systems like oil pipelines and electrical grids. Now, he is taking that hardcore cybersecurity mindset and applying it to the Bitcoin network in his brand new book, *Defending Bitcoin*. And trust me, it is a conversation you need to hear. We spent a lot of time debating the heated topic of arbitrary data and the drama surrounding BIP 110. Should we enforce strict rules to keep the blockchain pure, or is trying to force a chain split a bigger threat to Bitcoin's integrity as money? Luke actually changed his mind on this recently, and he lays out exactly why the stakes could be too high to play games with consensus. His perspective really cuts through the noise and challenges the tribal thinking happening on both sides. But we didn't just stop there. We also get into mining centralization, selfish mining attacks, and why we need to view Bitcoin as high-stakes critical infrastructure. The decisions we make now could determine if this network survives long-term.

According to Daily NK, the regime ordered local officials to stop street vendors from selling rice above a state-imposed ceiling. This action was in response to rice prices rising above 30,000 North Korean won ($33.33) per kilogram. Officials and undercover agents are now inspecting markets, checking sellers' account books, and confiscating rice from those accused of charging too much. Traders are responding by pulling rice from public stalls and selling it privately from homes or other hidden locations. For North Koreans, the state's actions make rice harder to find and more expensive.

A bi-weekly news show informing you on the latest in Bitcoin, privacy and open source tech hosted by Ungovernables, Max and Q. AOBAll aboard the vibe trainFTF with Max TQ got some holidays coming upKeonne appealNEWSBisq v1 trade protocol exploit: 11.59 BTC drained, fully reimbursed, hardening shipped in 1.10.0 (bisq.community PSA, Bisq on X, reimbursement plan on GitHub)Disclosed: 2026-05-01Bisq's v1 trade protocol had a missing validation check on taker-side input. Because maker and taker were supposed to use the same miner fee, a malicious taker could push a bad fee value through the transaction math and shrink the multisig output to 0.001 BTC while sweeping the rest into the taker's change. Attacker drained 11.59 BTC from 10 users, all on altcoin trades. Maintainer Henrik Jannsen filed a reimbursement plan on GitHub on May 3, payouts in BTC (with BSQ as optional), DAO vote scheduled around May 25. The hotfix landed as Bisq 1.10.0 on 2026-05-16 with broader hardening: trade protocol checks, network message validation, release verification, supply-chain hardening. The Bisq team explicitly flagged the incident as a likely AI-assisted exploit, though they did not detail how AI was used.Sterlingov Appeal: The Criminalization of Privacy (therage.co)Published: 2026-05-12The appellate court reviewing Roman Sterlingov's Bitcoin Fog conviction openly suggested that mixers remain "legal in theory but not practice" once criminals use them.

Failure was process, not key custody, a UI / signing-flow compromise.Poland passes EU MiCA-aligned crypto bill while Zondacrypto fraud probe deepens (bitcoinmagazine.com)Published: 2026-05-15Polish lawmakers ratified the MiCA framework ahead of the July EU deadline. The vote landed alongside an investigation into Zondacrypto's collapse, roughly $96M of user losses, with Prime Minister Tusk floating possible foreign-influence angles.Claude helps retrieve lost 5BTCX user 'CPRKRN' has Claude check over whole file system and match a wallet file to an old passwordSpiral and Block ship Loupe, an AI-powered vulnerability scanner for open-source Bitcoin (spiralbtc.substack.com)Published: 2026-05-12Uses LLMS to surface security weaknesses in code repositories and requires demonstrable test cases for any vulnerability report so false positives are minimised.

Alex Thorn talks with Matt Corallo, Bitcoin developer at Spiral, about debates over Bitcoin's development path, node implementations, and pathways and possibilities for mitigating the impact of a potential future cryptographically relevant quantum computer. Matt first contributed to Bitcoin Core in 2011 and today focuses on building tools for Bitcoin's Lightning Network. Alex also talks with Beimnet Abebe (Galaxy Trading) about rising inflation expectations, the new Fed chair, and tricky macro conditions.

Saylor just broke Strategy's "NEVER SELL" Bitcoin rule. The $1.5B dividend math, the 11.5% yield, the Q1 -$12.5B net loss, and what it means for Canadian MSTR holders — explained.Michael Saylor told investors on Strategy's Q1 2026 earnings call that he will "probably sell some Bitcoin to pay a dividend, just to inoculate the market and send the message that we did it." Three days later he walked it back, saying the remark wasintended to "jam short-sellers and 'haters.'" Strategy holds 818,334 BTC at an average cost basis of $75,537. The annualized preferred dividend obligation is roughly $1.5 billion. Q1 net loss was $12.54 billion.

On this episode, we're back from Bitcoin 2026 in Las Vegas, where the real conference happened off stage. From quantum debates and AI pivots to Bitcoin astrology and open-source governance wars, we break down the conversations, vibes, and side quests that actually mattered.We discuss:- Bitcoin 2026 recap- Quantum debate & Project 11- Satoshi coins discourse- Paul Sztorc's eCash fork- Hodlonaut on Bitcoin Core governanceGet bonus content by subscribing to @hellmoneypod on X: https://x.com/hellmoneypod/creator-subscriptions/subscribeOr support the podcast by sending a BTC donation: bc1qztncp7lmcxdgude4px2vzh72p2yu2aud0eyzysORDINALS SATSCARDS: https://shop.inscribing.com/products/ordinals-satscardTIMESTAMPS0:00 Bitcoin 2026 recap7:56 K-pop, ABG discourse12:55 Erin's aura reading, nukes are fake18:52 Quantum & Bitcoin35:11 Hell Money meetup recap37:55 Everyone's pivoting to AI42:30 Reviewing Hodlonaut's Bitcoin Core article

Il lightning network funziona e i dati che ci arrivano sono confortanti. Su questa base un nuovo paper di Zeus suggerisce una nuova strada per irrobustire il network e farci impresa.Inoltre: il Sudafrica vuole approvare la prima legge che vieta la custodia diretta, un brutto hack subito da Bisq, arriva il debunkatore automatico di falsi miti su Bitcoin, e una ricerca getta ombre su Bitcoin Core.It's showtime!

In this roundtable, we sit down with Steve, Mechanic, and Jeff, and honestly, we struggle to stay on Bitcoin for half of it. Our catch-up quickly turns into a rant about LLMs acting like corporate yes-men, and the frustrations of running AI locally. But we do get back to the money. We talk about the St. Louis Fed literally copyrighting Bitcoin price data, France tracking self-hosted wallets, Steve's update on UTXOracle, and why the quantum computing threat looks a lot more like a funding scam with terrible marketing. On the technical side, we get into the proposed cluster mempool changes in Bitcoin Core. Mechanic also shares his view on renting hashrate, and how much money giant pools waste by ignoring empty block speedups.

What up vigilantes? What if you woke up one day to find your Bitcoin stack had doubled? That's the reality coming this August when Paul Sztorc launches the eCash hard fork. But while “free money” sounds great, the real story is a desperate attempt to save Bitcoin from a development culture that has started lying to itself. This isn't a giveaway. It's a rescue mission. The stigma around hard forks has been poisoning the well since the Bitcoin Cash drama. Back then it was a branding war, a fight over who owned the name. It got messy, it got toxic, and suddenly the very idea of forking became taboo. Sztorc isn't playing that game. He's running a different brand entirely (eCash, ecash.com), and he's not pretending to be Bitcoin. He's also not hitting the ground running with empty promises. The Drivechain code has been written, tested, and is runnable today on testnet at layer2labs.com/download. So what is Drivechain? It's a way to give the same 21 million coins access to unlimited optional sidechains. Layer 2s that share the original supply rather than minting new tokens. One sidechain for privacy. One for prediction markets. One for high-throughput payments. All pegged 1:1, all merge-mined back into Layer 1 so the miners get the fee revenue. No new “shitcoins” required to do the things people have been begging Bitcoin to do for a decade. This was already promised, by the way. Watch on: Odysee | YouTube | X | Rumble | Bitchute  When Blockstream raised money in 2014, sidechains were the headline. They pitched it, took the money, and quietly delivered Liquid, a federated multisig dressed up as a sidechain. The kind of “L2” we'd laugh at if Ethereum did it. Sztorc actually did the work they said they would do. Meanwhile, the gatekeeping in Bitcoin Core has gotten absurd. OP_CAT is 13 lines of code. Opt-in, ignorable, reversible. And they still won't merge it. BIP 300 (Drivechain itself) gets accused of “bringing shitcoins to Bitcoin,” which is the literal opposite of what it does. Geniuses like Jeremy Rubin have been pushed out. Lightning, or as Sztorc calls it, “Lightning Not Work,” sucks all the oxygen out of the room while failing to scale. The chief critic situation is even more telling. When Sztorc actually hired Peter Todd to write a paid critique, Todd went on stage at Baltic Honey Badger and claimed there was no code. Meaning he had never bothered to visit drivechain.info, where the download link sits at the top of the page. That's the level of seriousness Bitcoin's chief critics are operating at. The draft PRs to Core itself? Met with harassment, distractions, and irrelevant nonsense. Look at the scoreboard. Blocks are empty. Fees are nothing. Even Michael Saylor, the high priest of HODL, is barely above zero on his lifetime BTC investment, depending on the day (saylortracker.com doesn't lie). Miners are pivoting to AI. Real custody has been replaced by ETF shares and treasury company stock. We traded laser eyes for paper claims. The knee-jerk reaction will be to call eCash a “shitcoin.” That's exactly why Sztorc is giving people four months to think past it. This isn't a bet that eCash moons. It's a hedge against BTC collapsing into stagnation. If the devs keep refusing every upgrade while the network ossifies into a museum exhibit, you're going to need an off-ramp. A note for the maxis already typing. Sztorc is funding the launch by selling some of Satoshi's altruistically mined coins. Not anyone else's BTC, which isn't even possible. Yes, it's controversial. It's also what gives early supporters skin in the game so the fork launches with momentum instead of dying as another well-intentioned ghost chain. Come August, your BTC splits into two. You can sell one for more of the other. You can hold both. You can ignore the whole thing. But don't ignore it without looking first.

The "largest quantum attack on Bitcoin" just collapsed. Project Eleven paid 1 BTC for a 15-bit ECC break — but a classical computer does the same thing. Bitcoin's 256-bit security is untouched.A researcher won the Project Eleven Q-Day Prize for breaking a 15-bit elliptic curve key on a publicly accessible quantum computer, billed by the press as the "largest quantum attack on Bitcoin to date." Within 48 hours half the crypto press had it framed as Q-Day. The reality: a $300 laptop can break a 15-bit ECC key in well under a second. Bitcoin uses 256-bit ECC. The gap between 15 bits and 256 bits is roughly 2^241 — a number larger than the atoms in the observable universe. Q-Day is real as a research milestone. Q-Day is FUD as a Bitcoin threat headline today.On this episode we break down what Project Eleven actually proved, why the "1 BTC bounty" isn't what crypto media made it sound like, why Bitcoin's elliptic curve cryptography is nowhere close to being broken, and what's REALLY worth paying attention to this week — from the Litecoin MWEB 13-block reorg to the Bitcoin Core v30 wallet migration drama, the Bitcoin Knots vs. Core fork update, Shakepay's new BTC-backed loans, SEC Chair Atkins' "innovation" pivot, Kraken's 56 million IRS tax forms, and a $1.1 BILLION Canada Child Benefit story most Canadians missed this week. Plus, of course, Mark Carney's new wealth fund. What a time to be alive.

BIP 361: Bitcoin Core devs want to FREEZE Satoshi's coins — 5.6M BTC (~30%) permanently locked to stop quantum computing attacks. Is it theft or survival? The Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast debates.This week Len and Joey break down the most controversial Bitcoin proposal in years: BIP 361, the post-quantum migration plan championed by Hunter Beast that would render an estimated 5.6 million Bitcoin — including Satoshi Nakamoto's untouched stash — unspendable after a hard cutoff date.Supporters call it the only realistic defense against Shor's algorithm and a future quantum adversary capable of cracking legacy P2PKH keys. Critics call it a precedent-shattering attack on Bitcoin immutability — a civil war brewing inside Core. We walk through both sides.

If Satoshi Nakamoto handed the keys to a single successor, is the network truly decentralized? We go deep into uncomfortable questions about who controls the Bitcoin blockchain and how the power to merge code has shifted since the Genesis block. Juan Galt (@JuanSGalt)  joins us in El Zonte to break down the history of the maintainer role. He proves that the security of our money depends on janitorial consensus rather than a single lead developer.We explore the cypherpunk origins of the protocol, looking at the private correspondence between Satoshi and Hal Finney. This lineage shows how an early culture of cryptography evolved into the modern GitHub repository. Understanding this is essential to knowing how Bitcoin survived the exit of its creator without a corporate takeover.The episode dives into the high stakes world of the private key and the nightmare of the early wallet.dat era. Juan shares stories of recovering seven figures of lost coins, highlighting the shift from 2010 hurdles to modern recovery standards. This was a fundamental upgrade for anyone holding digital gold as a lifelong savings account, moving us toward a robust sovereign standard.Building a circular economy requires a payments interface that works for a local pupuseria as well as a Wall Street fund. We discuss early adoption friction in Mexico and El Salvador, moving from the guy with the Bitcoin phone to modern tools that make daily commerce possible. It is a raw look at moving Bitcoin from a speculative asset to a local currency.Finally, we look at the internal decentralization of the Core team and how maintainers are elected without a CEO. From the Trusted Keys PGP system to the threats of quantum computing, we analyze the protocol's ability to stay hardened. This is a masterclass in the Proof of Work required to maintain the most secure financial network in history. It is about verifying code rather than trusting a person.—Bitcoin Beach TeamConnect and Learn more about Juan Galt:X: https://x.com/JuanSGaltBitcoin Magazine: https://bitcoinmagazine.com/authors/juan-galtYT: https://www.youtube.com/@BitcoinMagazineLifeboat: https://lifeboat.com/ex/bios.juan.galtCompany: https://www.satlantis.io/Support and follow Bitcoin Beach:X: https://www.twitter.com/BitcoinBeach IG: https://www.instagram.com/bitcoinbeach_sv TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@livefrombitcoinbeach Web: https://www.bitcoinbeach.com STAY AT BITCOIN BEACHhttps://www.stayatbitcoinbeach.com/punta-mango-villasBrowse through this quick guide to learn more about the episode:00:00 Intro06:01 Why is the "Juan Galt" namesake a high-signal filter for Bitcoiners?10:39 What was the Toronto Decentral hub like before the Ethereum fork?14:19 What can we learn from the "Galt's Gulch" Mexico experiment?21:10 How can you recover seven-figure Bitcoin from a legacy wallet?23:38 Why was the BIP-39 seed phrase a leap for Bitcoin self-custody?36:18 How did Satoshi manage the maintainer transition to Gavin Andresen?45:45 Why did Bitcoin move to GitHub and the "Trusted Keys" PGP system?53:11 How does Bitcoin achieve consensus without a CEO or leader?59:02 Is the Bitcoin protocol truly hardened against 2026 quantum threats?Live From Bitcoin Beach

Giacomo Zucco joins Walker America to discuss Bitcoin spam, ordinals, inscriptions, Bitcoin Core, Core v30 / OP_RETURN, Knots, and why he thinks the BIP-110 soft fork will fail—and why that's a problem. They break down the technical and political fight over spam filtering, consensus changes, and the future of Bitcoin nodes. Zucco argues that while spam is real, BIP-110 is the wrong solution—and its failure could damage the movement trying to fight it. Key Topics: • Plan B Lugano + the rise of Cypher Tank • Is Bitcoin Core compromised? • Bitcoin spam vs censorship: where's the line? • Core v30 vs Knots: what's really happening? • Why Giacomo thinks BIP-110 will fail • Would BIP-110 actually fix Bitcoin spam? • Ordinals and inscriptions • Should Bitcoin change consensus rules to fight spam? • Why Giacomo believes Layer 2s—not forks—solve the problem • What happens to Bitcoin if BIP-110 fails?

Matt Corallo says “the community that exists at the time” will make decisions on how Bitcoin deals with the threat of quantum computing. Thank you to our sponsors! ⁠Figure⁠ ⁠Crypto Tax Girl⁠ ⁠Fuse: The Energy Network⁠ When it comes to the quantum computing threat to crypto, the focus is often on Bitcoin and for good reason. The blockchain lacks a defined governance structure and the vulnerability around Satoshi's and other abandoned and lost coins is far greater than on any other chain. Furthermore, influential figures like Nic Carter have accused developers of sleeping at the wheel. Bitcoin Core contributor Matt Corallo argues that it won't take much to make the network quantum-resistant and, contrary to popular narrative, says work is already underway. Find out why Corallo says quantum-proofing Bitcoin requires only two steps ”you burn old lost coins, you burn anyone who hasn't migrated.” Guest: ⁠Matt Corallo, Open Source Engineer at Block/Spiral Links: Unchained: ⁠Why Bitcoin Developers Are Not Incentivized to Talk About the Quantum Threat⁠ ⁠Q-Day Is Imminent.

Enter here --- Bitcoin slid toward $60,000 on Feb. 5 in a brutal, cross-asset selloff that hit gold, equities, and crypto alike. With leverage unwinding and basis trades breaking, long-time bitcoin holders are distributing to institutional buyers who, by 13F data, are mostly underwater. The mood across digital assets is bleak. Against that backdrop, Nic Carter of Castle Island Ventures argues that key Bitcoin narratives have quietly failed—and warns that developers' inaction on quantum risk could open the door to institutional control. If devs don't act, Carter says ETF giants like BlackRock will. The panel then widens the lens: declaring the token-centric VC model dead, debating whether AI now rivals the industrial revolution, and stress-testing it all across topics ranging from Solana vs. Hyperliquid to Japan's political shift and MrBeast's fintech play. --- If you want your crypto taxes done carefully — not guessed — Crypto Tax Girl is offering $100 off one-on-one crypto tax services.

Everything is fine… weeks where everyone is definitely not fine. In Episode 802, we dig into the crypto panic, the blood-in-the-streets charts, and the uncomfortable question nobody wants to say out loud: Did the grown-ups finally show up to crypto… and ruin the party? We talk institutional adoption (ETFs, custody, control), how the “gatekeepers and suits” might be working the same old playbook, and why crypto feels weirdly toxic right now. Then we take a hard left into a truly bizarre rabbit hole: new Jeffrey Epstein-related emails, claims floating around about funding Bitcoin Core, and what the Brock Pierce connection might mean (or might not mean). We don’t pretend to have final answers—just the receipts we can point to, the debates happening publicly, and a healthy dose of skepticism. And because we can’t help ourselves, we also go off-road into AI, Elon, robots, peptides, and… yes… “you spit in a thing, you
