"After finishing the book, I couldn't help but think:

'I don't see how anyone who's actually operating in good faith could read this book and not agree with the conclusion that the Bitcoin project was hijacked.'"

The biggest exchange in the Philippines drops LIGHTNING payments 😂

At what point does BTC become a scam?

BTC has a collapsing security budget, which undermines scarcity & it cannot evolve to save itself!

Insiders saw the math for years & continued lying to the public anyway

BTC is now a trillion-dollar meme coin sold to the next greater fool!

[Hijacking Bitcoin @HijackingBTC]

@davidshattuck8 @Vladcostea https://t.co/gAjdS76nro covered this in detail.

[Hijacking Bitcoin @HijackingBTC]

https://t.co/gAjdS76nro sounded the alarm years ago.

And then you guys did everything you could to block Bitcoin from being usable as cash like the title of Satoshi’s paper described.

[Blockstream @Blockstream]

@adam3us Read it in Satoshi's own words: nine pages that still explain how bitcoin moves with no one in charge.

[Vini B 「thecoding.dev」 @vinibarbosabr]

i strongly recommend everyone in crypto to read @HijackingBTC

it's a well-documented piece of history that can teach us a lot

it may also become increasingly relevant to some communities like zcash, while positioning zcash:native as "encrypted bitcoin" and following some historical steps as a previously marginalized project going mainstream and gathering support from some big players

if anything, it will be an entertaining read (at worst), but who knows... we might learn some valuable historical lessons that could become relevant one day

@laeterna_v also has a very good video documentary on the topic published on yt before the book that i'll drop the link to it in the comment section

big shoutout to the bitcoin-cash:native community for putting this together and fighting the good fight during bitcoin block wars (with a massive disadvantage, as the other group strongly dominated the means of communication and community forums at that time)

It’s not just the website, but the entire #HijackingBitcoin book has been translated into multiple languages. https://t.co/gAjdS76nro

Holdonaut is right, and is why Bitcoin was hijacked. https://t.co/gAjdS75PBQ

[hodlonaut @hodlonaut]

Bitcoin threatened the state’s most foundational power: the money printer.

The only sane starting point is therefore that state intelligence would spend huge resources trying to capture, dilute, and gimp it.

[Hijacking Bitcoin @HijackingBTC]

We told you so: https://t.co/gAjdS75PBQ

[Blockstream @Blockstream]

Core Lightning node runners, this is urgent, upgrade to 26.06.8 now if you haven't already.

[George Bence (GGNoRe) @kreeflewer]

The 2017 blocksize war didn’t make BTC hard forks impossible. It made opposition to contentious hard forks part of BTC’s identity and a later hard fork to raise capacity would also lend some legitimacy to BCH’s original argument. That makes such changes politically very difficult

[Hijacking Bitcoin @HijackingBTC]

https://t.co/gAjdS76nro covers exactly why this is the case in 2026.

[Julian Figueroa @kinetic_finance]

after a painstaking 48+ hours, i finally collected 100 interviews from Harvard students about Bitcoin

About 2/10 owned some

Not a *single* one could explain what the purpose of it was

(besides the price going up)

am i crazy to think that is… odd?

This man did nothing wrong.

Ian Freeman should never have spent a single day in a federal cage. Years of his life have already been taken from him, and every additional day is another day that can never be returned.

We are almost there. Finish this.

It’s been a rough year for Blockstream

First they lost the support of the plebs, who used to look up to them

Then they lost the respect of the security community, which wrongly assumed they were dealing with the competent grownups in the room

Lost political & moral authority in only a few months. And 2026 isn’t even over yet!
