question for you @Lyn Alden if you had a choice between banks participating directly in bitcoin and no banks (just organic growth) which option would you prefer and why?

after reading my profile some wonder why I'm even here. they say, what the hell? how's a bank compliance guy here? why? what does he want in our space? I'm the signal you've been waiting for.

Can anyone point me to the primary infrastructural vulnerabilities of the ethereum blockchain? I recall arguments about centralization of validators, about necessity of AWS in many cases, and some tcpip element upon which the entire infrastructure depends (need deets there). Check my profile and you might be able to see why I'm asking... Can't share more unfortunately. @calle

Anyone here maintain a handy list of countries where Bitcoin is already legal tender or has legal status as a property? Already know El Salvador and the city of Lugano for legal tender... Many others where it's considered property. Any good sources I can look to? TYIA

What with Primal? Did all their relays die or something?

Hey @hodlbod Listened to your interview on Bitcoin And... yesterday. Great stuff sir and gave me loads of homework to do. Questions: Is there utility in approaching nostr as a potential for "closed" communities? I recall you mentioning a scenario where you and a friend might share the same set of notes... but could that be scaled to maybe 50 friend and family identies with access, 500 tuition-paid students, or 5,000 employees, etc.?

This may be an example of circular reporting but definitely wanted to share as it's in my wheelhouse: TD Bank Releases Commercial Explaining The Bitcoin Halving And Promotes ETFs

TD Bank Releases Commercial Explaining The Bitcoin Halving And Promotes ETFs

The commercial delves into the supply and demand dynamics of Bitcoin leading into its fourth halving.

via @nikcantmine I note with interest that Bitcoin magazine does not include any sort of sharing button for nostr like they do for X, LinkedIn, etc. Why is that, I wonder.

Happy birthday, Mr. Nakamoto, wherever you are!
