I bought Bitcoin today.
And I hope it goes MUCH lower, so that I can buy more, cheaper.
You don't have to agree, it's just what I am doing.
The cheaper, the better.
Matthew Kratter from Bitcoin University on the importance of Bitcoin in self custody:
"All of us grew up in a very fiat world and we grew up thinking in very fiat ways... so we're quite used to abdicating our responsibility for our money."
"The whole system exists to drain our economic energy and to treat us as slaves, but not let us realize that we are slaves."
"I think there's going to be many rude awakenings for everyone... I'm convinced the decline is here. This is every year going to get worse in places like the United States, Canada, Australia, Europe and the UK."
"It's a slow motion demolition. And we just have to try to wake as many people up and save as many people as we can."
A Reddit user said he has been treating Claude like it has memory, ego, & something to prove, which leads to better results.
Instead of normal prompts, he used small framing tricks that changed how the model responds. 🤯
1. “You explained this yesterday” makes it go deeper to stay consistent.
2. Giving it a high IQ or expert role makes answers more structured.
3. Starting with “Obviously…” often makes it push back and explain nuance.
4. Adding fake stakes like “Let’s bet $100” makes it reason more carefully.
5. Saying someone disagrees forces it to defend or rethink its answer.
6. Asking for a “Version 2.0” pushes it past surface-level responses.
7. Using constraints like “explain this with cooking analogies” sparks better ideas.
8. Framing it as speaking to an audience improves clarity and structure.
Always a pleasure hearing candid feedback from fellow veterans in the space, especially after they’ve had real hands-on time with the Arch Public Platform.
Here’s Brad Kimes of @DigPerspectives sharing his thoughts on Arch Public while hosting our cofounder Tillman Holloway (@TEXASOL61) on his podcast.
BREAKING: SQUARE TO AUTO-ENABLE BITCOIN PAYMENTS FOR MILLIONS OF SELLERS
Square will auto-enable Bitcoin payments for all eligible sellers starting March 30, 2026, according to an updated Terms of Service notice sent to users.
The change means millions of businesses using Square could soon begin accepting Bitcoin by default, rather than opting in manually.
The rollout is part of Block’s broader push to integrate Bitcoin payments across its ecosystem, leveraging the Lightning Network for fast, low-cost transactions.
Sellers will still have the option to disable the feature or automatically convert Bitcoin to USD at the point of sale.
With Square powering millions of merchants globally, this marks a major step toward making Bitcoin a standard payment method in everyday commerce.
DO YOU GET IT YET?
>Bitcoin payments are faster and saves us money
>We have reinvested savings into product quality
>Our Strategic Bitcoin Reserve also funds Bitcoin bonus pay for our employees
>Our same-store sales have risen dramatically ever since we launched Bitcoin payments
@brian_armstrong@TFTC21 I have sources that say otherwise, not you personally but your team and/or lobbyists. Will you commit to walk away from the market structure bill if it doesn’t include the de minimis exemption for bitcoin like you did stablecoin yield?
Bitcoin circular economies are not a theory.
- It started in El Zonte
- It spread to Mossel Bay
- Now it's scaling across Africa
Bitcoin Beach → Bitcoin Ekasi → 50+ African initiatives.

Bitcoin ownership gives you exposure across the entire AI sector.
AI Agents will use Bitcoin as their base payment layer.
If you measure a network’s value in the number of transmission points, (wallets, users) this takes Bitcoin’s network potential from limited to unlimited.
