Why Nobody Trusts the Bitcoin Rebound (And Why That Is the Point)

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.

How Do You Delete a Nostr Account? The Answer Might Surprise You 🔑

"How do I delete my Nostr account?" It's one of the first questions many people ask after trying Nostr. If you're used to Facebook, X, Instagram, or Reddit, you expect to find a Delete Account button somewhere in the settings. But on Nostr, that button doesn't exist. Not because the developers forgot to add it, but because Nostr was designed differently from the very beginning. Understanding why there is no Delete Account button also helps you understand one of Nostr's most important ideas: your identity belongs to you, not to a platform.

Not another "HODL" wallet.

Bitcoin has become an exceptional store of value, but the ecosystem has largely optimized for saving rather than spending. This article argues that while cold storage and hardware wallets are essential for protecting long-term wealth, Bitcoin also needs wallets designed for everyday payments. It explores why a culture of "HODL" alone limits Bitcoin's evolution into real money, how Cashu enables private digital cash for daily transactions, why Nostr is merging identity with payments, and why Bey Wallet is being built for spending, zaps, peer-to-peer freedom, and the next chapter of Bitcoin adoption.

Bitcoin at $1,000,000: Why Everyday Money Will Be Ecash

A long-term perspective on why Bitcoin's future will depend on layered scaling rather than on-chain payments alone. As Bitcoin becomes more valuable and block space more scarce, everyday transactions will increasingly rely on Lightning and ecash. The article explores how Cashu enables fast, private, low-cost payments, why Nostr provides the decentralized identity layer for social payments, and how Bey Wallet is being built around this vision of making Bitcoin practical for daily use in the decades ahead.

BlackRock BITA ETF: The Bitcoin Income Fund That Sells Your Upside

BlackRock just launched a Bitcoin ETF that pays you a fat monthly check, and the pitch is irresistible: income on an asset that has never produced any. But that "yield" is not a dividend. It is your own upside, sold off in monthly installments. Here is what BITA is really charging you, and why the boring path still wins.

Régulation crypto et lutte contre le terrorisme : l’UE glisse-t-elle vers une surveillance financière totale ?

Depuis plusieurs années, l’UE renforce progressivement son arsenal réglementaire autour des cryptomonnaies. Officiellement, l’objectif est clair : lutter contre le blanchiment d’argent, le financement du terrorisme et les flux financiers illicites. Mais derrière ce discours sécuritaire, une autre réalité inquiète de plus en plus d’acteurs du secteur Bitcoin et des défenseurs des libertés numériques : celle d’une surveillance financière permanente, où chaque transaction devient traçable, analysable… et potentiellement suspecte.
