Diego, a longtime Monero contributor and founder of Cypherstack, discusses Stack Wallet—an open-source, multi-platform wallet for privacy coins—and stresses the importance of user-friendly design in privacy tech. The conversation dives into FCMPs, which will expand Monero's anonymity set from around 16 to potentially every transaction ever made, with only a logarithmic increase in size. Luke, a mathematician and cryptographer, details the recent hurdles involving 'divisors'—key components that improve FCMP efficiency—and how they overcame complex security challenges to develop a secure version now under review by the Monero Research Lab. Diego ranks privacy levels across cryptocurrencies, placing current Monero at a 1, Firo's Lelantus Spark at 4, and Zcash's Halo 2 Orchard at 10. With FCMPs, he believes Monero could reach 9 or 10—on par with Zcash. The discussion also covers post-quantum cryptography as the next big frontier, with Cypherstack already exploring solutions. Despite earlier setbacks, FCMP development is back on schedule, targeting a Q1 2026 deployment pending code compatibility checks led by MRL's Justin Ehrenhofer.

They heard about it at $1,000… were told it was a scam at $10,000… waited for a pullback at $30,000… and now that it's over six figures, they've mentally closed the door on the opportunity. It's human nature to assume that if you're not early, you're too late. But that's not how this works—not with Bitcoin. In fact, this might actually be the best risk-adjusted time in Bitcoin's history to buy. I know that sounds counterintuitive, but it's true—and the data backs it up. Let's talk supply and demand. Since the halving in April, Bitcoin's issuance has dropped to just 3.125 BTC every 10 minutes. That's about 450 new coins per day, or just over 3,100 per week. Meanwhile, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs alone are buying more than 30,000 BTC a week—ten times what's being mined. And that's just the activity we know about from public filings. It doesn't include over-the-counter purchases from sovereign wealth funds, corporate treasuries, family offices, or high-net-worth individuals quietly accumulating behind the scenes. So where's the extra Bitcoin coming from? It's coming from long-time holders—early adopters who've sat on their coins for a decade or more and are only willing to part with them at much higher prices. This isn't hype-driven retail mania like in the past. It's a slow, deliberate transfer of supply from the original believers to large institutions. And here's the key: those institutions don't trade. They hold. Often for years—if not indefinitely—as part of their long-term strategic allocation. You are witnessing Bitcoin being monetized in real time.It's not speculation anymore. BlackRock's IBIT already has over $20 billion under management. Fidelity's FBTC is acquiring thousands of coins per week. El Salvador and Bhutan are actively accumulating. Even the U.S. government holds over 210,000 BTC from seizures—and here's what no one's talking about: they're not auctioning it off like foreclosed houses or impounded cars. They're holding it. The price isn't rising because of FOMO. It's rising because it now takes higher and higher prices to pry loose coins from the hands of holders who have no urgency to sell. Those coins are disappearing into cold storage, long-term trusts, and sovereign wallets—and they aren't coming back. This is what a supply shock looks like when the buyers have deep pockets and decade-long time horizons. And yet, the most dramatic shift in Bitcoin isn't even the price—it's the risk profile. Five years ago, Bitcoin was still speculative. Custody was clunky. Regulation was unclear. Access was limited. Today, institutions can buy it through BlackRock. Fidelity and Coinbase Prime offer secure custody. Legal frameworks and compliance protocols are firmly in place. Sure, volatility still exists—but existential risk? That's largely off the table. Bitcoin is no longer a “maybe.” It's a “when.” And that's why the opportunity still exists.Not because people are afraid to lose money, but because they still don't quite believe they're allowed to be this early to something this massive. The truth is, you didn't miss the train. You missed the garage-band phase. But now? You're standing right as Bitcoin steps onto the global stage—surrounded by the biggest asset managers in the world, all scrambling to buy up what little supply is left. The demand is relentless. The supply is fixed. The equilibrium price is rising. I truly believe we'll see a 10X in Bitcoin over the next five years. And if you still feel like you're playing catch-up, you're not out of options. There are ways to amplify your exposure—like Bitcoin treasury companies. MicroStrategy now holds over 214,000 BTC and has effectively become a leveraged Bitcoin vehicle traded on the stock market. In past cycles, it's outperformed Bitcoin itself. Metaplanet in Japan is following the same blueprint,...

Bitcoin and ETH rebound amid geopolitical tensions — BTC fell toward $104,800 but recovered to $105,000, while ETH dipped over 7% before bouncing back toward $2,800, reflecting cautious investor sentiment.BlackRock's spot ETFs break records — The IBIT fund surpassed $70 billion in AUM in less than 18 months, with over $1 billion in new inflows just this week — ETH ETFs are outperforming their Bitcoin counterparts.Ripple, Solana, and Altcoins under pressure — XRP drops nearly 4% due to profit-taking, and SOL falls nearly 9% amid broad selloffs; meanwhile, enterprise and legislative momentum grow alongside growing worries in the market.HYPE steals the show with a new all-time high — HYPE surges 15.5% above $42, adding a strong contrast to the weakness elsewhere — a clear sign of ongoing speculative activity.

  Discover which crypto performed better, bitcoin or XRP? Are you investing well for financial freedom...or not? Financial freedom is a combination of money, compounding and time (my McT Formula). How well you invest, makes a huge difference to your financial future and lifestyle. If you only knew where to invest for the long-term, what a difference it would make, because the difference between investing $100k and earning 5 percent or 10 percent on your money over 30 years, is the difference between it growing to $432,194 or $1,744,940, an increase of over $1.3 million dollars. Your compounding rate, and how well you invest, matters!  INTERESTED IN THE BE WEALTHY & SMART VIP EXPERIENCE? - Invest in stock ETFs, private equity and digital assets for potential high compounding rates - Asset allocation model with ticker symbols and % to invest -Monthly LIVE investment webinars with Linda, with Q & A -Private VIP Facebook group with daily interaction -Weekly investment commentary from Linda -Optional 1-on-1 tech team support for digital assets -Join, pay once, have lifetime access!

This week on Bits + Bips, the panel tackles the biggest themes driving crypto: Circle's triumphant IPO, ETH's institutional tailwinds, and the fast-shrinking Bitcoin supply on exchanges. Plus, what Gemini's IPO ambitions tell us about the state of exchanges, and whether Ram's call for a BTC breakout is about to hit. Also on the docket: Is Circle really worth its sky-high valuation? Why exchange fees are stuck in the 1970s ETH: the quiet trade that might be heating up Oh, and yes, they talk about the Trump–Elon feud too

Crypto markets are buzzing and institutional appetite is peaking. With Circle's IPO wildly oversubscribed and a new wave of companies racing to go public, we unpack what this means for the industry. Jon and Bread join us to break down the hype around crypto IPOs, why TradFi wants stablecoin exposure, and what it signals for projects like Solana, Ethereum, and Hyperliquid. We also debate value accrual, ETH vs BTC narratives, and whether apps or platforms will dominate the next phase of crypto. This is the IPO Era of crypto—let's dissect the winners and the delusions. ------

Blockstream CEO Adam Back believes Bitcoin could achieve the $1 million target way before Wall Street accumulates 10% of the crypto.
