Kraken just got a Federal Reserve Master Account.
The first crypto firm ever with direct access to the Fed’s payment rails. Sounds like a huge win for Bitcoin… right?
But it also highlights the risk: more integration with the traditional system means more centralization, more KYC, and less self-custody.
The real solution?
Sovereign identity on Bitcoin itself. Own your name forever with Spaces Protocol. Censorship-resistant handles anchored directly on the Bitcoin blockchain. No company or government can take it away.

Then claim your Space.
Bitcoin fixes this, but only if we stay sovereign.🟠 #Bitcoin #SpacesProtocol #Kraken #FederalReserve

BREAKING: Kraken Secures Federal Reserve Master Account (Historic Milestone)
In this clip from The Jason and Andrew Show, we discuss Kraken Securing a Federal Reserve Master Account. Are we digging ourselves in a deeper hole with stable coin derivatives? Should we be using self custody Bitcoin only?

🗒️Bitcoin is like a giant shared notebook that everyone can see but nobody can cheat on.
📓The Spaces protocol gives every person their own special name on that notebook. Like a cool username that nobody else can take, without writing a lot of stuff on the actual notebook.
It’s a super trustworthy name tag that works without needing a boss in charge.
Because it’s so trustworthy, other cool apps and games can use that name tag to connect people directly to each other.
Bitcoin, but make it human @SpacesProtocol


Will BITCOIN be Used WORLDWIDE?
What can we do to increase adoption?

In this video Robin Seyr and Mike Carson discuss Spaces protocol. A promising new technology that might change the way we think about naming on the internet.
Spaces are community identifiers; think of them as top level domains such as ".com", ".org", and ".net".
Every Space is represented as a Bitcoin UTXO (Unspent Transaction Output), and can operate millions of decentralized identities underneath called subspaces. There are only about 3,600 community spaces released per year, acquired through permissionless auctions on the Bitcoin blockchain.
Scalable & Permissionless Bitcoin Identities
Spaces empowers users with a sovereign Bitcoin identity, anchored securely on the Bitcoin blockchain. Imagine a social handle that is truly yours censorship-resistant and accessible across various protocols like Nostr, wallet naming, peer-to-peer applications, and beyond.

Bitcoin SUB Names
How it works
Basic principle
Add handles to a Merkle tree & commit the 32-byte root to Bitcoin.
New handles must prove non-existence in the previous root(s).
Subs compresses these proofs: STARK or SNARK → root cert.
Owners get an inclusion proof → leaf cert.
Certificates are non-revocable: once bound to a script pubkey, it’s yours.
Note: Only the tree root gets committed to Bitcoin - certificates remain off-chain (low footprint!).

Who gets to be the operator?
Operators are chosen via permissionless auctions on Bitcoin. They manage top-level spaces:

Bitcoin continues to demonstrate its growing role in both traditional finance and real world geopolitics this week. Current Bitcoin price action remains in focus amid ongoing market volatility, with BTC trading in the $68,000–$72,000 range.
A notable development comes from the Middle East: Iran is reportedly planning to impose a transit toll of approximately $1 per barrel of oil on tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz during the current U.S. - Iran ceasefire period. Iranian authorities have specifically mentioned Bitcoin as an acceptable payment method for this toll. For context, a fully loaded supertanker carrying around 2 million barrels could face a fee of roughly $2 million, payable quickly in Bitcoin.
This represents another clear real world example and valid use case for Bitcoin as money, enabling fast, sanction resistant cross border payments in a high stakes geopolitical environment.
On the Bitcoin ecosystem side, attention turns to the upcoming Bitcoin 2026 Conference in Las Vegas (April 27–29 at The Venetian). Spaces Protocol will host a workshop titled “Sovereign Bitcoin Identity” on Wednesday, April 29. The session explores permissionless, Bitcoin-anchored digital identities. A common question is whether presenters need to submit a formal proposal for the workshop, details on the submission process can typically be found on the official conference site or through Spaces Protocol channels.
In Spaces Protocol technical updates, the team recently released an April 2026 community video covering progress toward Subspaces mainnet alpha (or beta) launch. They also introduced a new resolver and a relay network called Cert Relay. Cert Relay operates over HTTP and works directly in browsers, offering improved accessibility. Community members are asking whether this new system will replace or complement the existing Fabric DHT network used for discovery and relaying of Nostr and Spaces records.
Shifting to privacy and surveillance: In March 2026, FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed during a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing that the agency is actively purchasing commercially available data from brokers. This includes location data capable of tracking Americans’ movements and historical whereabouts. The practice relies on the “data broker loophole,” allowing bulk acquisition without traditional warrants, and has reignited debates around Fourth Amendment protections.
Finally, institutional adoption reached a new milestone on April 8, 2026, when Morgan Stanley launched its own spot Bitcoin ETF under the ticker MSBT (Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust). Trading on NYSE Arca, the product features one of the lowest expense ratios in the category at 0.14%. It marked the first time a major U.S. bank issued its own spot Bitcoin product, with strong day one inflows and trading volume.
These stories highlight Bitcoin’s dual trajectory: increasing real world utility under geopolitical pressure and deepening integration into traditional financial infrastructure, alongside continued innovation in sovereign identity and privacy tools.

This video explores why the traditional Domain Name System (DNS) is fundamentally flawed due to its centralized control, and argues that a Bitcoin based decentralized naming system like Spaces Protocol could replace it for true user ownership and sovereignty.
Key Discussion Points👇
⚡️Mike's background and wake up call (former domain industry veteran who ran ICANN accredited registrars and Park.io).
He witnessed customers having domains arbitrarily taken away by registries with no recourse. Even as a registrar, you're powerless against higher level registries and ICANN. This "helpless" feeling convinced him that the entire system needs replacement, not just improvement, especially now that Bitcoin exists.
⚡️DNS is distributed, but NOT decentralized.
Many people (including some Bitcoin core devs) mistakenly believe DNS is decentralized because of its redundancy (12 root servers, caching at every level, delegation to nameservers). In reality, it's heavily centralized at the top: root servers, registries, and ICANN hold ultimate control over names. This allows censorship, seizures, and single points of failure.
Practical problems with DNS:
❌Rare but severe outages (Cloudflare DNS issues) can take 1-2 days to propagate globally due to caching, causing major business losses.
❌DNS poisoning or malicious takeovers are possible.
❌You don't truly "own" your domain, it's at the mercy of third parties.
Broader centralization issues:
❌Reliance on third party certificate authorities (CAs) for HTTPS encryption (historically expensive, now somewhat improved by Let's Encrypt).
Why should someone else control the keys to encrypt your traffic? With true name ownership (like on Bitcoin), protocols like DANE could eliminate this need.
✅Proposed Solution Spaces Protocol (built on Bitcoin) aims to provide scalable, permissionless Bitcoin identities and naming. It removes trusted intermediaries, giving users real sovereignty over their names and identities, similar to how Bitcoin gives sovereignty over money.
The video contrasts this with the outdated pre Bitcoin assumptions that justified DNS's hierarchical control structure.
Overall Takeaway = DNS "works most of the time," but its centralized control makes it incompatible with a sovereign, censorship resistant internet. Bitcoin era protocols like Spaces could finally enable truly owned, trustless naming.
This video is a short, conversational discussion focused on real world experiences from the domain industry and developer perspectives.
