El Salvador National Palace and National Theater will lit up with a VIP lineup most people said would never come here. Russell Brand's fireside chat will lead a heavyweight program with Max Keiser, Stacy Herbert, Jeff Booth, Preston Pysh, Lawrence Lepard, Zuby, Giacomo Zucco, Jimmy Song, and more. If you want to witness the moment Bitcoin goes mainstream in El Salvador, be there.@adoptingbitcoin 2025 doubles down on builders and the “Network Effect.” Kiki walks through Spanish and English tracks, high-signal technical workshops, and a live Lightning dashboard tracking spend across vendors. From education programs like Librería de Satoshi (@libsatoshi) to Cubo+ alumni now working in Bitcoin, this is what it looks like when a conference runs Bitcoin only and measures real adoption.Up in the mountains, Economía Bitcoin turns @BitcoinBerlinSV in Berlin, El Salvador, into a two-day masterclass on circular economies. Charlie and Jethro bring merchants who price in sats, not dollars, and entrepreneurs like BitDriver, Bitcoin Travel, and BitTasker who keep value inside the loop. Panels range from core tech to coffee and commerce, with a festival vibe that still stays high signal.Between events, the coast lights up. Bitcoin Coast has El Tunco onboarding fast, and Punta Mango hosts a surf week where athletes receive sats to spend locally.

In this episode of Pushing the Limits, Lisa Tamati sits down with Brandon Bucher, the visionary CEO of Lightning Pay NZ, a company pioneering Bitcoin payment infrastructure and merchant solutions in New Zealand. Brandon shares his personal Bitcoin journey, what drew him into the ecosystem, and why he's deeply passionate about financial freedom, self-sovereignty, and decentralized money. Together, we unpack the macro forces shaping our economic landscape — from inflation and debt-driven systems to currency debasement and money printing — and why Bitcoin represents a viable alternative. We also dive into how the Lightning Network (Bitcoin's layer-two scaling solution) is enabling instant, low-cost payments, helping Bitcoin evolve from a “store of value” into a true medium of exchange. Brandon explains why layer-two and layer-three infrastructure are critical for scalability, usability, and global adoption — and how Lightning Pay NZ is making this future a reality for businesses and consumers alike. If you care about sound money, digital freedom, and building a fairer financial system, this episode will inspire you to rethink what money really means in the 21st century. Topics We Cover: Brandon's journey into Bitcoin and the Lightning ecosystem Why Bitcoin matters in an age of debt, inflation, and fiat instability The role of layer-two solutions like Lightning Network Why Bitcoin's base layer prioritizes decentralization and security — and can't scale alone How Lightning Pay NZ is helping merchants accept Bitcoin easily How Lightning Pay acts as both a Bitcoin exchange and POS (point-of-sale) system for real-world payments The macro outlook for global finance and how Bitcoin fits into it The philosophy of financial self-sovereignty and trustless systems   Connect with Brandon: Website: Lightning Pay NZ X (Twitter): @BTCNautilus Learn More: Check out Lightning Pay NZ, a payment gateway and exchange making it easy for New Zealand businesses to accept Bitcoin instantly using the Lightning Network, convert it to NZD if desired, and integrate seamlessly into existing POS systems.

Het Lightning Network is bezig aan een nieuwe fase van volwassenheid. In deze aflevering gaat het over de technische en maatschappelijke kant van deze ontwikkeling. Bitcoin wordt vaak gezien als waardeopslag, maar hoe staat het ervoor als betaalmiddel? De basisinfrastructuur werkt inmiddels betrouwbaar en snel, maar achter de schermen is niet alles rustig. Binnen de Bitcoin-gemeenschap speelt een felle discussie tussen verschillende groepen ontwikkelaars over de koers van het netwerk. De onenigheid, onder meer over het gebruik van bepaalde functies in de code, laat zien hoe fragiel samenwerking in open source-ontwikkeling kan zijn, maar hoort ook bij de manier waarop Bitcoin evolueert. Te gast is Jesse de Wit, lightning-ontwikkelaar bij Breez. Tegelijkertijd komt het Lightning Network zelf verder tot bloei. Sinds begin 2023 zijn er grote stappen gezet in stabiliteit en adoptie. De technologie wordt inmiddels beschouwd als de standaard voor betalingen met bitcoin. Er zijn professionele partijen actief geworden die de infrastructuur verder uitbouwen en voor meer gebruiksgemak zorgen. Toch is het netwerk nog niet overal even toegankelijk: wallets verschillen sterk in kwaliteit en het gebruiksgemak laat nog ruimte voor verbetering. Ook is de concurrentie van andere vormen van digitale betaling voelbaar. Stablecoins en tokenized dollars winnen terrein, vooral omdat ze aansluiten bij bestaande gewoontes in het betalingsverkeer. Dat roept de vraag op welke rol bitcoin als betaalmiddel op termijn kan spelen naast deze alternatieven. Een belangrijk deel van het gesprek gaat over de technische innovaties die het gebruik van Lightning eenvoudiger moeten maken. Daarbij komt onder meer een nieuw ontwikkelplatform aan bod waarmee toepassingen kunnen worden gebouwd die direct met het netwerk zijn verbonden. Dat moet het voor bedrijven makkelijker maken om Lightning-betalingen te integreren zonder zelf de volledige infrastructuur te beheren. Er wordt ook gekeken naar de mogelijkheden voor betaaloplossingen in winkels, zoals kassasystemen die automatisch verbinding maken met het netwerk. Ten slotte gaat het over de toekomst van schaalbaarheid. Wat gebeurt er als Lightning op grote schaal gebruikt gaat worden, bijvoorbeeld op evenementen met tienduizenden bezoekers? De technologie is er klaar voor, maar de uitdaging ligt in adoptie en gebruiksgemak. Want pas als gebruikers nauwelijks meer merken dat ze met bitcoin betalen, kan het netwerk zijn belofte echt waarmaken. Co-host is Raoul Esseboom.

The Fiat Standard Lecture 14: Bitcoin Scaling shows why on-chain scaling has hard limits, why block space must remain scarce to preserve immutability, and how economic incentives push smaller payments to second layers. It also explores how the Lightning Network brings fast, cheap transactions to Bitcoin.You can buy the hardcover, ebook or audiobook in several languages on saifedean.com/TFS, where you can also find the full lecture notes available for free download.You can also take the rest of Saifedean's courses by signing up to a membership on saifedean.com/membership

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop speaks with Paul Sztorc, CEO of Layer2 Labs, about Bitcoin's evolution, the limitations of the Lightning Network, and how his ideas for drivechains and merge-mined sidechains could transform scalability and privacy on the Bitcoin network. They cover everything from Zcash's zero-knowledge proofs and “moon math” to the block size wars, sound money, and the economic realities behind crypto hype cycles. Paul also explains his projects like Zside and Thunder, which aim to bring features like Zcash-style privacy and high-speed transactions to Bitcoin. Listeners can try Layer2 Labs' software or learn more at layer2labs.com/download.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Stewart Alsop opens with Paul Sztorc from Layer2 Labs, discussing the connection between Bitcoin and Zcash and how privacy could be added through zero-knowledge proofs.05:00 Paul critiques early Layer 2s like Rootstock and Lightning, calling many “not real” or custodial, and compares the current scene to the .com bubble.10:00 They explore media hype, Silicon Valley culture, and crypto's cycles of optimism and collapse, mentioning Theranos, FTX, and fake-it-till-you-make-it culture.15:00 Conversation shifts to sound money, government spending, and how Bitcoin could improve fiscal responsibility, referencing Milton Friedman's ideas.20:00 Paul questions Bitcoin treasury companies like MicroStrategy, explaining flawed incentives and better direct ownership logic.25:00 They move into geopolitics and The Sovereign Individual, discussing borders, state control, and the future of digital sovereignty.30:00 Paul explains zero-knowledge proofs, Zcash's “moon math,” and the evolution from sapling to Halo 2 for better privacy.35:00 The topic turns to drivechains, BIP300, and Layer2 Labs' projects like Zside and Thunder, built for real Bitcoin scalability.40:00 Paul explains why Lightning fails, liquidity limits, and why true scaling requires optional L2s with large block capacity.45:00 They discuss the block size war, merge mining, and how miners and nodes interact in Bitcoin's structure.50:00 Paul breaks down the Merkle tree, block headers, and SHA-256 puzzles miners race to solve for proof-of-work.55:00 The episode closes with how L1–L2 coordination works, the mechanics of slow withdrawals, and secondary markets in drivechains.Key InsightsBitcoin's privacy gap and Zcash's influence: Paul Sztorc begins by explaining how Bitcoin lacks true privacy since senders, receivers, and amounts are visible on-chain. He describes Zcash as a model for achieving anonymity through zero-knowledge proofs and explains how Layer2 Labs aims to bring that same level of privacy to Bitcoin without introducing a new altcoin or token.The failure of current Layer 2 solutions: Paul argues that existing Bitcoin Layer 2s like Lightning and Rootstock are flawed—either custodial, inefficient, or deceptive. He compares today's crypto landscape to the dot-com bubble, full of overhyped projects and scams that will collapse before the genuine solutions survive.Sound money and political accountability: The discussion expands beyond technology to economics, as Paul highlights how unsustainable government debt and spending distort incentives. He believes Bitcoin could restore discipline to fiscal systems by forcing real accounting and limiting the political capacity to inflate or borrow endlessly.Corporate Bitcoin strategies are often misguided: Paul criticizes companies like MicroStrategy for treating Bitcoin as a speculative treasury asset instead of using it for real utility. He argues that investors should just buy Bitcoin directly rather than buy shares in companies that hold it, since intermediaries introduce unnecessary risk, fees, and opacity.Drivechains as Bitcoin's missing scalability link: Sztorc presents drivechains, outlined in his proposal BIP300, as the practical way to scale Bitcoin. Drivechains allow multiple Layer 2s to exist simultaneously, each optimized for specific features like privacy, larger blocks, or smart contracts, all while using the same 21 million BTC.Lightning Network's structural limitations: Paul dismantles Lightning's core assumptions, pointing out that it cannot scale globally because each channel requires on-chain transactions and constant liquidity maintenance. He calls Lightning a “Theranos of Bitcoin,” arguing that it distracts the community from genuine, scalable innovation.Merge mining and the path to Bitcoin's future: The episode concludes with Paul describing merge mining as the mechanism that unites L1 and L2 securely, letting miners earn more revenue without extra work. He envisions a Bitcoin ecosystem where optional, diverse L2s provide privacy, speed, and flexibility—anchored by a lean, reliable L1 base.

"Bitcoin's anarchy, right? It does not have religious attribution, it does not have political attributions, it doesn't have f***ing anything.

At the second BizNews Investment Conference in Hermanus, tech maverick and Africa Bitcoin Corporation Executive Chairman Stafford Masie made a powerful case for Bitcoin as the world's most undervalued and misunderstood asset. Drawing on lessons from his pioneering work with the internet, open-source software and Google's entry into Africa, Masie explained why he sold nine properties and even his Range Rover to buy Bitcoin. He urged South Africans to “study Bitcoin” and not confuse it with crypto, outlined how Lightning Network and Bitcoin treasuries are reshaping finance, and dismissed quantum computing fears as hype compared to real risks like losing your keys.

B Hodl has just listed, and they're aiming to power payments over the Lightning Network using a growing Bitcoin treasury. CEO Freddie New (ex-FCA/City lawyer; co-founder, Bitcoin Policy UK) and CBO Danny Scott (co-founder/CEO, CoinCorner) explain why they built a Bitcoin treasury and services company, how Lightning routing and liquidity will generate Bitcoin-native revenue, and why this is about moving value over the internet at a global scale.We cover the realities of going public, the flywheel between BTC accumulation ↔ Lightning capacity ↔ revenue, USDT/Taproot Assets on Lightning, and why B Hodl is committing 1% to UK grassroots adoption. If you want a clear picture of how a public Bitcoin company funds Lightning, this is it.

My guest today is Max Hillebrand, praxeologist, cypherpunk, and open-source advocate dedicated to building freedom tech that empowers individuals through economic and technological sovereignty. As a contributor to projects like Bitcoin Core, Wasabi Wallet, BTCPay Server, JoinMarket, Lightning Network, Bisq, Angor, White Noise, and Amethyst. In this episode, Max shares his journey from Austrian economics into Bitcoin privacy, recounting how tools like CoinJoins, Wasabi, and the Taproot upgrade push Bitcoin closer to true anonymity. We explore the battle between fiat and freedom, the broken incentives of inflation and war, and why opting into Bitcoin is both a moral imperative and a form of resistance. Max also introduces Nostr as the communications layer for a censorship-resistant future, explains the axioms of human action, argumentation ethics, and resistance, and highlights why he believes we now have the technological weapons to end modern financial slavery in our lifetime.► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

In this conversation we talk about why Yoni was buying bitcoin when it was real cheap in 2011, the rise to bitcoin being over 100k in price, why he thinks it's still early, tokenization, how he thinks about being a public company CEO today, and what to expect moving forward. ==========================Markets are at all-time highs.
