7/8 CTR Distribution & Supply CTR has a fixed supply of 10 billion. 60% goes to the ecosystem and community, including 12% for initial claims. The distribution of CTR is prioritized for active users of the network and incentives for those who steer the Bitcoin economy.

This is what Saylor is promoting ... last week in the Vegas bitcoin conference and just now on his earnings call. No joke. No lie. No hyperbole. Not gonna guarantee this is 100% accurate, but it's directionally correct. Prove me wrong. I encourage you to suffer through the

I don't remember where I found this, but its spot on.

This is Pieter Wiulle. Bitcoin Core contributor responsible for the latest Core bug: bitcoincore.org/en/2026/05/05/…. He has been the source of many many critical bugs in recent years. And he's the reason TapRoot exists and the reason JPEGs and inscriptions are all over BTC's chain.

Reminder: Bitcoin is ONLY defined by the block hash. EVERYTHING ELSE, is an implementation detail. Opening OP_RETURN to avoid *polluting* (ironic) the UTXO set… is fundamentally backwards. The “UTXO chainstate” has NOTHING to do with the block hash. There can be many other

Bitcoin-Core allowed this, they have lost the plot.

Jim The capturing of the reference implementation was insidious. V30 exposed it. github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin has always been an attack vector. We need to retire it for the good of Bitcoin. WokeCore should spin off and compete without the privileged position WE entrusted them…

Use bitcoin (the money) however you want. Use Bitcoin (the network) for bitcoin (the money), nothing else. Using Bitcoin for anything other than bitcoin diminishes the value of bitcoin. Using Bitcoin for non-bitcoin stuff can't be prevented entirely, but it can ... and

I’ve given some thought to the whole Core vs Knots situation, especially after Citrea launched a literal shitcoin and, well, I’ve changed my mind. Previously I felt that Knots and BIP-110 was a potential answer to the problem. Now I believe they’re the only answer.

Lawrence Lepard, "fix the money, fix the world" I agree ... up until about a year ago. He's obviously brilliant and no one has been better at explaining "Why bitcoin?", imo. He's one of the top three folks who orange pilled me starting 2020. You've positively influenced me too. That said, Saylor is now promoting STRC,

Thunder Jim Bitcoin as a medium is the base layer. Bitcoin as a native token is the base layer. The base layer medium is for the native token.

Krev23 Jim Bitcoin is for the transfer of satoshis between UTXOs.

Thunder Jim Scaling solutions are not native on-chain. The conflation of all these as the same “Bitcoin” is deceptive and ANTI-Bitcoin. True native Bitcoin is only satoshis in outputs protected by your keys. Lightning uses native Bitcoin to create a secondary network… which there could be

Taproot (p2tr) versus other transactions since 2025 While it's debatable at the level of ones and zeros, it's clear in the big picture what is an economic transaction and what is not For monetary use cases, median amounts follow purchasing power (~$150 per tx) Taproot does not

It is unbelievable that nowadays Bitcoin supports native media serving. This will be exploited, in the most horrible ways, if we don’t solve it asap. BIP110 is not perfect, but it is the only realistic solution to this vulnerability ASAP!

Notice Andy hasn’t blocked Knut. Why? Because Knut is an influencer. Same with hodlonaut #BIP-110 Core are not interested in the truth, but influence. This is not a criticism of Knut Svanholm ∞/21M just using it to demonstrate Core is now an Affinity scam.

Ord io is shutting down on June 1. Three years ago, we launched our idea for "an Ordinals explorer with upvotes". We had no idea what was about to happen. Since then, Ord io has grown into a platform used by over a million people to explore inscriptions on Bitcoin. It brought

How it started. How it’s going.
