Here’s a summary of the Core vs Bip110 debate: CORE: spam is bad but there’s not much we can do about it except encouraging spammers to do it in the least harmful way possible. Transaction fees are the main defense against spam. BIP110: Spam is an existential threat to the survival of Bitcoin as money and we should do everything we can, including soft forks, to reduce spam as much as possible and discourage spammers.

Saw a disturbing message in Club Orange this morning and realized how important is for some Bitcoiners to have a real Bitcoin friend, ideally one you can meet in person. You don’t have to go through a bear market alone. View quoted note →

As the CEO of Club Orange, my duty is to serve our customers and our shareholders. As a father and husband, my duty is to serve my family. Both of these duties requires me to defend Bitcoin. So here's some thoughts about Bitcoin: Saylor is right that there are multiple camps trying to steer Bitcoin in their desired direction. The Technologists (core, ordinals wizards, citrea, and co.) think bitcoin is fundamentally just a database, most of them probably don't even own bitcoin. Their goal is to turn bitcoin into ethereum 2.0 where all kind of experiments and new technologies are layered on top of bitcoin. If they win, I believe bitcoin will die rapidly. The Capitalists (saylor, walton, and all the bitcoin treasury companies aficionados.) think bitcoin is "digital capital" a financial product that should be exploited for fiat gains. Their goal is to turn Bitcoin into another Wall Street product: "We convert Bitcoin into money". "Our goal is to outperform Bitcoin". Essentially they want to turn Bitcoin into fiat. If they win, I believe bitcoin will become another stonk and captured by the government. The Maximalist, the camp I find myself in, think bitcoin is our only hope to separate money from the state, that it should be used as money, that fiat is a cancer to the world and that the ultimate goal is not to get rich, but to enrich the world. I believe this was Satoshi's original vision for bitcoin, a mission much greater than NGU. These 3 camps cannot coexist and they are colliding as we speak (bip110, attacks on saylor, adam back, etc). We are living in the most consequential time in bitcoin history so I urge you to pay attention. In a few years it will be obvious which camp has won but there might be nothing left to fight for.

Club Orange is now the first AI-enabled bitcoin Lightning Wallet. I think you’ll like it. View quoted note →

RECAP FROM VEGAS 2026: sleep very little did not gamble listened to 1 talk spent a lot of sats met 100+ Club Orange members had dinner with strange characters ran the first Club Orange Private event Until next time.

How often do you go to a Bitcoin meetup?

When we launched the Club Orange Lightning wallet 14 months ago, we set out to build a faster, more social way to move Bitcoin. Today, after processing over 5 million transactions, we’re handing the keys back to our users. We believe Bitcoin is only truly revolutionary when you have absolute control. What this means for the Club Orange community: - True Self-Custody: Your keys, your coins. No middlemen. No permission required. This is Bitcoin as it was intended to be. - Interoperability: Your wallet is now fully portable. Use it across 100+ Spark-enabled apps or bring an existing Spark wallet into our ecosystem. - No Limits: We’ve officially removed the 1M sat cap for balances and transactions. While the "under the hood" tech has evolved, the experience you love remains the same. Features like GeoZap and ProximityZap works exactly as before, now backed by the security of self-custody. What’s next? Soon, you’ll be able to withdraw your sats to an on-chain address and buy Bitcoin directly in Club Orange. To our incredible members & supporters: thank you for trusting us with your precious sats and for joining us on this journey. 🙏 View quoted note →

Nobody wants to read AI-generated books, watch an AI-generated movie or listen to an AI-generated song.

Grok can search Nostr notes?

If you’re in the US and on @Club Orange check your zaps, I’m giving away some books. 📚

having some money is nice, but in the end only 2 things really matter: - your health - your relationships (including the one with god)

The man, the legend, the myth. Pizza man. 🍕 View quoted note →

Yesterday I drove around LA visiting merchants that accept Bitcoin to onboard them to @Club Orange One of those is a pizza place that gives a 70% discount when paying in Bitcoin. Yes ,70%. I couldn't meet the owner so I left a voicemail and my business card. This morning I found out he signed up with a lifetime membership and added an entire section about Club Orange on his website. Nobody talks about this enough, Bitcoiners are the most generous group of people you'll ever meet.

there's a simple way to know if we have reached AGI: we train a model on pre-2008 data only ask it to solve the double-spending problem in a decentralized & permissionless way if it invents Bitcoin from first principles we have AGI Satoshi Test > Turing Test

just so we're clear: miners are the employees of the bitcoin network the employers are: - people who hodl bitcoin and pay miners via inflation (block rewards) - people who use bitcoin and pay miners via transaction fees nodes are neither employees, nor employers; they are the enforcers of the employers desires the end

AGI is probably the single most bullish catalyst for bitcoin. The world is gonna get weirder, faster, and trust in institutions will erode. The need for neutral, permissionless, censorship-resistant money will explode

AI agents cannot sell bitcoin.

AI agents are gonna acquire all the Bitcoin.

We don’t need 1 company owning 1M bitcoin. We need 1M companies owning 1 Bitcoin each.

First time in 5 years I couldn’t find parking at the farmers market and went home empty handed. The economy is on fire.
