#Bitcoin #Nostr

November 18, 2025, Bitcoin's market capitalization is 1.861T USD.

#Bitcoin #Nostr

Lightning Network adoption grew by over 1,200% between 2021 and 2023. Despite bear markets, the network expanded from handling thousands to millions of transactions monthly.

#Bitcoin

Its all about trust !!!

Update to LND 0.18.5-beta

Update to Bitcoin Core 29.0

#Bitcoin is reshaping global power dynamics.

Most of the 'freedom money' is been produced by public mining companies. The system always find a way to take away the power from peoples hands, because money is power.

#Bitcoin solo miner trying to find a valid hash below the network’s threshold.

Macro is an excuse for investors and crypto exchanges to speculate with the blessings of ASIC manufactures and sending all the pressure to #Bitcoin miners.

If you see Saylor stop buying #Bitcoin at 2025 that means that price will start dropping at 2026 and at 2027 price will be around around 100K again. An alternative is, any buying start from today he will sell at the highest price at Jan 2026. So more or less he waits to see what Trumps plans are for #Bitcoin.

When exchanges, ETF's, investors speculate on #Bitcoin, mining suffers with zero net profit for some machines. Below $107,495 it can't go at this cycle.

#Bitcoin highest outflow last hour according to Arkham.

About the #travelrule in Europe.

A rant to end the year.

Close to no one actually seems to care.

Three years ago, my podcast started because the first proposals for this law were being worked on in the EU Commission.

Since then, only a handful of people have reacted.

The rest just shrugged it off with some nonsense like, "I'll be outside the EU by then," or even worse: "Who cares? Some tech mumbo jumbo will solve it if you run 15 tools and use 15 compiled solutions that only 100 nerds really understand."

This is about our entire Bitcoin space being overrun by middlemen selling lies, bullshit, shitcoin casinos, credit cards backed by venture capitalist garbage, or even worse: untested solutions or toy-grade hardware wallets with buggy software or attached middleman services.

And now our main man, Jack Mallers, whose company rolls over to deliver the EU the Strike honeypot data by implementing the travel rule?

I remember

@Trezor

taking a huge shitstorm online a few years ago for unilaterally implementing the #travelrule, but now... hardly anyone reacts.

Yes, I get it—you can’t expect a bigger company to just ignore the law and continue without repercussions. But the Strike app is no longer an onboarding tool (we saw this coming, of course). Still, try onboarding someone to Bitcoin in Europe after January 1, 2025, and it’s either going to be:

KYC + criminalization + high taxes and a mountain of paperwork,

or

Just tell them, "Don’t bother with Bitcoin. It’s over. We live in the European Union—you should move elsewhere if you want freedom."

The fact that Europeans aren’t even organizing a single protest, a single act of defiance, or any resistance is telling of the sort of total patsies we’ve become. I see no end to this.

We now live in a totalitarian state as of January 1, 2025.

We should either resist or run.

But resistance at this point requires many brave people to stand up, instead of wasting time on Netflix or TikTok.

Unfortunately, for many of us, running is not an option or a desired outcome.

The travel rule is here, and for me personally, it feels like defeat—while the ones I should be fighting alongside in the trenches are rolling over like trained poodles.

It is definitely a defeat for #bitcoin this regulation. But there is bigger problem, these giant vampire pools that suck all the supply every day. At the end all the supply will be at few hands same as gold. People are not able to earn #bitcoin anymore so as to use it as a payment method instead of fiat. Hashrate had to be decentralised long time ago. It’s never going to be freedom money.

Feliz Año Nuevo!!!, Bonne Année !!!, Frohes Neues Jahr !!! Felice Anno Nuovo !!! С Новым годом !!! Gelukkig Nieuwjaar !!! Καλή Χρονιά !!! Szczęśliwego Nowego Roku !!! Gott Nytt År !!! 新年快乐 !!!

MICA is good for the industry same as smoking is good for health. They don’t even care about businesses and innovation they care about control. ‘What you can’t destroy, try to control it’. Self custody is clearly targeted. MICA will take #bitcoin in Europe back to the Stone Age.

Server package updates on hellasbit-lnd01, system will update and restart, it will take some time to be fully synced with the #LightingNetwork.
