Bitty is attending the @LuganoPlanB PlanB Summer School, and he brought us along for a day in his life learning about Bitcoin!

See how his day went in beautiful Lugano, Switzerland, hanging out with @efenigson @mir_btc @OrangeSurfBTC @giacomozucco

Bitty thanks @DEcodeMor and @sertx92 for the human assist

21 seconds. One challenge.

Plan ₿ Summer School students shared their favourite teacher and lesson of the day, with the chance to win a seat at the speakers’ dinner table.

Then we asked them to describe Bitcoin in just one word.

Now it’s your turn. What is Bitcoin to you?

Bull Bitcoin has obtained the MICA license in France. Users from member states of the European Union will continue to be able to use Bull Bitcoin's bitcoin exchange and payment services legally without any interruption or reduction in service.

We are particularly excited to have obtained our MICA license without needing to compromise on our cypherpunk approach to self-custody and privacy. All features of our website and wallet will remain exactly the same as they have been for the first half of 2026, with no additional burden or restrictions imposed on our users. We have proven that it is possible to meet the highest requirements of regulatory compliance without becoming overzealous.

We are also extremely proud to report that we have passed PASSI and DORA cybersecurity audits (required for MICA) without having outsourced our core Bitcoin infrastructure to hosted third party software providers, which would have been easier and cheaper but would have made us dependent on external services and compromised our sovereignty. That was a huge win.

This nearly 3 year effort was entirely self-financed. No external investors or lenders were sollicitated. This reflects Bull Bitcoin's reputation, our record of flawless execution and our long-term sustainability. I am extremely proud of our team.

Having secured a long-term foothold in Europe, our ambition is global domination and setting a new standard on how to build the infrastructure Bitcoin deserves.

LONG LIVE BULL

For a few minutes each year, groups gather to capture the moment sunlight makes this Yosemite waterfall look like a river of Bitcoin.

Lightning is cool

[Tando @tando_me]

$5B/year goes home to Kenya from the diaspora. School fees, rent, rising fuel and food costs. Western Union eats 5-10% of every shilling! With your M-Pesa linked Lightning Address 99% goes to your mum. Send bitcoin from any Lightning Wallet, anywhere on earth. Your family receives KES right to their M-Pesa in seconds.

We also built a companion site if that’s your jam: https://t.co/tnWE0rH3i5

Cashu is powering far more than just Bitcoin wallets.

While most people think of standard user-facing Bitcoin wallets when they hear Cashu, there’s a whole separate economy emerging around machine-to-machine payments.

One of the best examples is Routstr, an open-source decentralized marketplace for AI inference.

Routstr uses Nostr and Cashu at its core. Providers offer AI inference, and users pay for AI with Bitcoin. You can use Routstr as a normal AI chat interface or as a provider for your own AI agent. It gives users access to hundreds of models, similar to OpenRouter, but paid in Bitcoin with strong privacy for the payments attached to your AI chats.

There are no accounts. To fund your balance, you pay a Lightning invoice and mint Cashu ecash. Every time you make a query, you attach ecash to the request itself as a bearer token and micropayment for that individual call.

Now here’s the cool part. Anyone can become a provider because Nostr is an open network. Anyone can become an ecash mint because of how easy it is to run a Cashu mint. And every Routstr user has full control over which providers and which mint they choose.

I think Routstr is a great example of what becomes possible with a micropayment system like Cashu on Bitcoin. It removes much of the friction involved in building apps that use payments, because you don’t need to create user accounts, build a ledger, or track users at the expense of their privacy.

@CryptoCaveMan24 @jonstewart The Trump crypto stuff is all a massive grift. As is most of crypto.

That’s where nuance is needed. To highlight the key exceptions.

🚨#BREAKING: X has announced a major change to its creator payout program for this cycle

They announced that they are testing new tools to better identify who actually created original content, and will start giving a portion of the revenue directly to those creators X says reposts and commentary will still be an important part of the platform, but the goal now is to reward people who create original, high-quality content that adds real value to the timeline

In simple terms, they want to pay the people who make the content, not just the accounts that help it go viral

The company says this change will help improve the overall quality of content on X and that the revenue-sharing program will continue to evolve to encourage creators to post their best work
