It’s been about 2 months since ordinal inscriptions got deployed on the Bitcoin mainnet and a market seems to develop around these digital collectibles.
But why is this happening? Why would a bitcoiner, who is best known for being frugal with money, spend 1 BTC on a rock or wizard?
The answer is simple: inscriptions have attracted the attention of new users who previously didn’t care much about Bitcoin. But now that they can issue and trade collectibles on the most secure network in the world, they built a market around in. Which should be great for both the market (which sees increased demand for BTC) and the Bitcoin miners who collect more transaction fees.

3 weeks from now, a Bitcoin film festival takes place in Warsaw, Poland.
I’ve decided to interview the organizers to learn more about the content that will be screened, the significance of the location, and how Bitcoin film makers can submit their work.

PayPal sucks. They collect a 3% fee from merchants and regularly freeze your money when they assume that you have “suspicious activity”.
Sure, if you provide all the necessary proof you will regain access to your money. But is it really worth it to go through this absurd bureaucratic hell when you have Bitcoin as a real alternative?
Today, thanks to powerful open source software such as BTCPay Server, anyone can set up a store and accept payments in Bitcoin. It's fast, it's easy, and nobody will ever be able to freeze your money.
It's also what ShopInBit did, as today they offer you a 3% discount for BTC purchases – which is their way of saying thank you for not making them deal with PayPal ⚡
That’s strange, I don’t know if you’re real either 😜
Did you ever consider the fact that we are pets for trees? They feed us oxygen, then after a few spins around the Sun we become their food.
I always eat mindfully, sometimes I find myself zoning out for 15 minutes and realize that the soup got cold while I was contemplating the consequences of a hyperbitcoinized world 🤪
Eastern Europe had a rough 20th century. It sucks that the kids born after 2000 don’t even learn in school about it because it’s inconvenient for living politicians. They learn medieval history, though 🫡
Show me your collections 🤩
In the past 5 years, I’ve been buying Nintendo Switch games 🤪
That’s what I’m working on. Historians from academia, a couple of central bank spokespeople who can confirm our history of confiscation and inflation. I’m super excited 🤩
Statechains? Statecoins? Changing UTXO ownership offchain? CoinSwaps? What are all these 🤯
In S13 E5 of the Bitcoin Takeover podcast, CommerceBlock CEO and director Nicholas Gregory explains how MercuryWallet works under the hood: a long chain of cryptographic magic which allows bitcoiners to trustlessly swap equal amounts without leaving any permanent traces on the public blockchain.
MercuryWallet is currently one of the most interesting projects in Bitcoin privacy, and one which beautifully complements CoinJoins. While the former effectively changes ownership, the latter obfuscates the existing links on the public ledger.
To learn more about how all of this works and why it’s important, listen to Bitcoin Takeover podcast S13 E5 – now available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube & more!

Presenting Bitcoin as money that can’t be confiscated or censored, and therefore relevant to Romanians given their communist past.
Gm, I can’t believe that I’m gonna do a documentary about Bitcoin 🤩
It’s always probabilistic, all they have is guesses and assumptions 😜
Adding CoinJoins to BTCPay server is a monumental breakthrough for Bitcoin privacy.
Thousands of merchants can now mix their coins directly from a mobile phone. This might really be a tipping point for privacy, and one that will further normalize obfuscation 🤩
In only a few hours I went from “I’m not happy with the way Bitcoin is being portrayed in my country” to “okay, I’m gonna do a documentary” 🤪
2024 film festivals, here I come! 😎
