@26Whitepapers @Coredao_Org You did not miss much just BTC drop 😆

[Core DAO 🔶 @Coredao_Org]

Most people will not onboard to Bitcoin through a staking dashboard.

They will onboard through something that feels like Robinhood.

@sat_pay will bring millions to Core. 🔶

[AFB 🍊 @AsFeBr]

#Core @Coredao_Org has already proven the technology works. BTC hash‑rate is flowing like a waterfall 🚀, staking is live 🔒, yield is real 💸, and the infrastructure is solid. At this point it’s not about ‘can it work?’ — it’s about adoption.🍊🫡

[AFB 🍊 @AsFeBr]

Forward 🔥. Nothing can stop Bitcoin power 🔋grid 💪

[Rich @richrines]

With this matter behind us, our full focus returns to the work ahead: advancing the Core network and expanding the Bitcoin finance stack alongside the builders, validators, and ecosystem partners driving real growth.

Forward. 🔶

BTCS chief of strategy @wkaszycki was featured in @Forbes alongside the @NatCryptoAssoc on how crypto's quiet mainstream era is already underway, and why compliance is the moat, infrastructure is the play, and the boring work is what lasts.

Did you know that @Sat_Pay is strategically positioned as a major consumer-scale revenue generator for #CORE.

The Fact: Every user interaction (deposits, LST mints, loan draws, card payments, and integrated DeFi actions) is designed to create sustained gas consumption, staking demand, and recurring buyback pressure on $CORE.

How It Works: Mobilum’s proven track record of processing tens of millions in annual revenue is combined with Core’s strategy to route activity-driven fees into ecosystem buybacks.

The Strategic Role: As the retail-facing module of the Bitcoin Power Grid, SatPay turns everyday Bitcoin usage into a high-scale, predictable revenue channel that strengthens @Coredao_Org long-term.

[26 Whitepapers @26Whitepapers]

You need to understand that many ecosystem out there keeps you close because they needs your fees. They don't care about you.

I realized that the moment I saw how little control people actually have over their own money. Endless restrictions. Centralized decisions.

Your value trapped inside systems you don’t own and can’t influence and somehow, we accepted that as normal.

That’s why what @Coredao_Org is building matters to me.

Not another closed system demanding trust but an ecosystem designed around ownership, access, and participation. A structure where the user isn’t the product.

I’ve learned the future of finance won’t be defined by who controls the most. It’ll be defined by who empowers the most.

Sometimes stepping into the future starts with one simple decision. So stop renting your financial freedom from systems that never intended to give it to you.

E172: @Saylor: Why Hard Work Won't Make You Rich

Michael Saylor is the chairman of @Strategy - the world's largest corporate holder of Bitcoin with over 840,000 BTC and $65+ billion deployed. He bought his first Bitcoin in 2020 when the Fed cut rates to zero hasn't stopped since.

With WSH, I always want to go much deeper than the current narrative and that’s exactly what we did here. We gradually moved past the surface and into the things that really shaped Michael. We talked about his childhood, growing up in a military family, buying domain names in the 1990s and flipping them for tens of millions, losing $6 billion of his net worth in a single day during the dot-com bubble, his great Apple bet in 2012, why working hard won't make you rich, why you should mortgage your house but probably not sell your kidney to buy BTC, why "THERE IS NO SECOND BEST", and a lot more. The conversation lasted more than two hours, much longer than originally planned, and it was just amazing. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

[26 Whitepapers @26Whitepapers]

Every successful network starts the same way:

A small group of people believing in something long before the rest of the world understands it.

Not blind belief.
Shared conviction.

Bitcoin started that way, Ethereum started that way and every major technological shift in history followed the same pattern.

Because infrastructure is never built by spectators. It’s built by communities willing to think long-term while others focus on short-term noise.

That’s what many still miss about @CoreDAO_org

It’s not just about price, it’s about creating a foundation where:

- Bitcoin security
- decentralized coordination
- programmable utility
- real BTCFi adoption

can evolve together into one system.

Strong ecosystems are not held together by hype. They’re held together by aligned belief, builders, and patience.

That’s the real Core fundamental.

[26 Whitepapers @26Whitepapers]

Did you know that @Coredao_Org solved the behavioural bottleneck of BTC-only holders through automated marketplaces.

The Fact: Dual Staking Marketplaces let $BTC stakers “rent” $CORE from holders to unlock boosted tiers without needing to buy and manage it themselves.

How It Works: The protocol pairs #BTC and #CORE positions, shares the enhanced yield, and allows single-asset exposure. $BTC holders get better returns than solo staking, while $CORE holders earn subsidized higher rewards.

The Unique Angle: This turns idle #BTC into a demand engine for #CORE, optimizing the flywheel without forcing every participant to hold both assets directly.

[26 Whitepapers @26Whitepapers]

You need to understand that I’m here on #Core with purpose.

As long as my thesis remains valid, I’ll continue to stand by that conviction.

For me, it’s Core or nothing.

When you truly study the architecture, the incentives, and the long-term vision behind @Coredao_Org, you begin to see why some of us remain confident despite the noise.

The future looks bright with Core.

Just imagine me wanting 1 million #CORE. Would that even make sense knowing fully well the future is not bright. You can think about it from here.

I hope you will understand before it is too late.

[SatPay @sat_pay]

The future Bitcoin account has three jobs:

Grow the balance.
Unlock liquidity.
Connect to spending.

SatPay is building all three.

[Core DAO 🔶 @Coredao_Org]

Most chains hope demand shows up.

Core is designing products that create it.

Fixed supply. More product lines. More reasons for CORE to matter. 🔶

Every bank will custody Bitcoin.

The harder question is what they let users do with it.

Core Alpha will be how users and institutions can start to earn safely on their Bitcoin. 🔶
