Not sure how widely known this is, but I don't think it's getting the reach it deserves. Hungary is quietly passing laws that make it nearly impossible for exchanges to operate or for citizens to buy Bitcoin at all. In short: "As of July 2025, Hungary has unique crypto validation requirements in effect, impacting approximately 500,000 Hungarian crypto owners. The law does not define what validation means. This creates legal uncertainty: neither individuals nor businesses can follow the rules, service providers are leaving the country, and violations may result in criminal liability. On this website, only service providers that have publicly announced compliance, or have been confirmed compliant by SZTFH or Caduceus, are marked as 'Compliant.'" This is directly affecting an engineer on our team. He built this site to raise awareness of what’s happening. Please take a look and share to help raise awareness. A timeline and all the exchanges that are now leaving or restricted is listed below

What excites me most about what I do every day is recharging the power of your savings. Every day, you trade your time, effort, and talent for money — a reflection of your hard-earned work. But when that money loses value over time, it sends the wrong message: don’t save for the long term — spend it while you can. That’s the world most of us have grown up in. Saving in traditional money meant watching your purchasing power quietly erode. To keep up, we’ve been pushed into becoming part-time money managers — chasing yield, picking funds, and jumping into markets we don’t fully understand. The assets we turn to are often illiquid, inflexible, opaque, confusing, and managed by others. Bitcoin changes that. It gives anyone the ability to store the value of their work in an asset that can’t be debased or taken away. It’s transparent, portable, and verifiable. That’s what drives me every day at Hoseki: building tools that help people see their savings as a better future — something that can be used on their own terms, for the things that matter most to them. Because the future isn’t just about hoarding for yourself. It’s about utilizing your hard-earned work for what’s most important to you.

I wrote this for Hoseki because your sovereign wealth should still count as your wealth. Screenshots aren’t professional verification. If Bitcoin is to be treated as financial capital, it needs the same standards as every other asset. Read here:

In regards to your multisig setup, is anyone still using Specter or has anyone that was using it pre-Swan, shifted to Sparrow?

To me, the harshest reality of legacy media's slow walk to obvious bankruptcy is: If their journalists were actually good at breaking news, journalism, or had interesting things to say on opinion columns, they’d make way more money going independent—via X, YouTube, Substack, etc.—than rotting at the Washington Post. It's why they all eventually become mouthpieces for different government factions.

Who is going to make the first product that allows your BTC IRA to receive in-kind contributions? Im sure it's a bunch of legacy and regulatory issues that don't allow it, but as a savings tool it would be a magical experience

Just got into an argument with someone claiming that cardano is more decentralized than btc AMA

This is what we are up against We are bickering over here about fruit and these people are influencing policy

Playing around with Coinbase lightning integration and just had to mention how insidious it is to use the term 'varies' for lightning as if it's not the cheapest option (unless you decide you want to wrap it for whatever reason) The reason seems obvious to me that they clearly want to downplay its utility, speed, and affordability to prop up their useless Base ETH L2 🙄 (even though that would wrap it to cbbtc) Its like they only begrudgingly integrated lightning. Man I really wish they would lean into it.

@Fountain integrating nostr I feel is a big deal and solves the biggest issue I had with the app which was a separate network outside of others Seeing nostr solve this problem brick by brick is exciting to see 💪
