The top 50 most prolific live streamers on Nostr over the last 30 days. List updated daily!
Over $100 million walked out of hardware wallets and Lightning nodes in August, mostly through Coldcard seeds generated with weak randomness years ago and an unauthenticated BTCPay Server bug that let
Governments keep building lists that ordinary people cannot inspect, escape, or trust, then acting surprised when those lists leak or trap innocent people. DAAMLA would drag self-custody bitcoin into
Nostr-powered Cloud Operating System
Adam draws a straight line from the 120,000 licence plate cameras Flock Safety runs across the US to the bank account you use every day. Both watch by default, both share data without a warrant, and n
BIP-110 hit its activation height on Saturday, mined exactly two blocks, and stopped. No CEO intervened, no regulator ruled, no vote was held. A year of spam-war arguing got settled by arithmetic in a
Coldcard’s random-number bug is a brutal reminder that self-custody tools can fail, but it is not an argument for handing your bitcoin to a custodian. The point of bitcoin is still holding money that
Simply Nostr = the people of Nostr
Attackers guessed their way into roughly 1,367 bitcoin across more than 4,500 addresses because a 2021 firmware bug quietly cut ColdCard seed randomness to about 40 bits. The users who added their own
The Coldcard theft is the scariest kind of Bitcoin loss: the victims did almost everything right. A firmware bug quietly swapped true hardware randomness for a predictable software fallback, so 500 seeds could be computed rather than guessed. I broke down the full timeline, both technical reports, and the safety habits (passphrases, multisig, verifying your own entropy) that protect any wallet regardless of maker.
Card #11 der Second Series. Alex von Frankenberg—Ist überzeugt, dass Bitcoin der dominante Standard für Store of Value wird. Bitcoinist Ehrlichkeit, Freiheit und die Zukunft. Zählt nachts keine Schafe, sondern die verbleibenden schürfbaren Sats bis zur Grenze von 21 Millionen.
Bitcoin Well is pulling support and ATM operations back into its own stack instead of renting the middle layer from vendors. Wade, the native multilingual knowledge base, and GhostOps are built to cut
For four years the market assumed the biggest corporate Bitcoin holder would only ever buy. This month it paused, and filings showed it sold a $216M sliver. Everyone braced for the floor to give way. It didn't. Price climbed back to $64K while the Fear and Greed Index stayed pinned at 28. That gap between price and belief is the whole story, and it comes down to one line Wall Street would rather you didn't think about: access is not ownership.
Two events, three months apart. In January 2026 the US captured Venezuela's president and said the prize was oil. Then came fresh strikes on Iran and a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Most people file these as separate messes. I don't think they are. My new piece argues they're two jaws of the same vise on China's energy, and that the "disastrous" closing of the Strait may have been the objective all along, because planners knew it was coming before the first bomb fell. From there it goes to the bigger question: what actually backs the dollar now, why every modern war is a money story, and the one asset the machine can't print or freeze. Follow the money.
Under-35s today earn more nominal dollars than their parents did in 1980, yet the median home has gone from 3.5 years of income to a record 5.1, and the typical first-time buyer is now 38 years old. That isn't a discipline problem, it's a measurement problem: real wages have grown about 18% in 44 years while the dollar's purchasing power kept falling. Our new piece traces where the ground shifted for a whole generation, why the money itself is the root cause, and what it looks like to stop saving in a unit designed to shrink.

A era das plataformas que lucram com as suas ideias e decidem quem pode te ler chegou ao fim. O LiberMedia acaba de ativar a sua nova página de Blog, um espaço nativo e totalmente descentralizado onde qualquer usuário pode publicar pensamentos, ensaios e artigos longos. Sem algoritmos de censura, sem termos de serviço abusivos e sem intermediários: no ecossistema do LiberMedia, cada linha escrita pertence única e exclusivamente a quem a criou.
A arquitetura atual do Nostr depende de relays centralizados em servidores em nuvem para propagar notas e eventos. Embora eficiente, esse modelo ainda cria pontos únicos de vulnerabilidade e custos de infraestrutura. Para quebrar essa barreira, o desenvolvedor Luciano Casalunga criou o Nexus, o primeiro relay puramente P2P (Peer-to-Peer) da rede Nostr. Baseado na NIP-95, o projeto propõe uma mudança radical: transformar cada client em um nó de distribuição direto, eliminando intermediários e permitindo que os dados viajem de ponta a ponta. Este artigo explora a mecânica, a filosofia e o impacto dessa revolução no ecossistema.
A liberdade que se escreve na pedra
Bitcoin sold off hard, but Bitcoin Well's June numbers moved the other way: gross profit up 32%, registrations up 22%, and active customers over 2,000. The point is simple: price gets the headlines, b
