This Week in Bitcoin : September 20, 2025

Here’s what’s been happening in and around Bitcoin this week, and why it matters.

• Bitcoin’s security just hit a new record.

The network now runs at over 1 zetahash per second.

That’s a fancy way of saying: the system has never been more secure.

Even Laos, a small country with lots of extra hydropower, is now mining Bitcoin. Quiet moves, big meaning.

• The U.S. might start buying Bitcoin soon.

Behind closed doors, lawmakers are working on what they’re calling a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.

If it happens, it could start within the next 90 days.

One analyst said: once this begins, there's no going back. It's a turning point.

• Thailand froze 3M bank accounts in a fraud crackdown — but innocent users were locked out too.

Vietnam is now requiring biometric ID for banking.

No face scan, no funds.

Bitcoin doesn’t freeze. It doesn’t ask for ID.

• Poland just launched its first Bitcoin ETF.

Across Europe and the U.S., more big investors are quietly moving in.

One day this week, U.S. funds added $553 million worth of Bitcoin.

Adoption is growing, not loudly, but steadily.

• Willy Woo gave a warning this week on a podcast.

He says the next financial crisis might not come from crypto, but from the old system, government debt, overspending, and dependence on new players like stablecoins. The U.S. used to rely on countries like China to buy its debt. Now it’s depending on crypto-backed dollars.

That’s a strange twist , and a risky one.

Bitcoin isn’t just about price going up.

It’s about having something that works when other things stop working.

As the world changes, more people are waking up to that.
