🚨THE FIRST FANNIE MAE BACKED BITCOIN MORTGAGE HAS CLOSED IN THE UNITED STATES
A couple in Michigan bought their first home by pledging Bitcoin as collateral instead of selling it, making it the first Fannie Mae backed mortgage using crypto in US history.
Borrowers can pledge BTC or USDC without triggering capital gains taxes, with no margin calls even if prices drop.
Better Mortgage is projecting $250 MILLION in initial loan volume with a nationwide rollout planned for this summer.
BITCOIN JUST BECAME IMPOSSIBLE TO SHUT OFF!
Jack Dorsey built an app that moves it with zero internet.
Bitchat uses Bluetooth mesh.
You sign offline, it hops phone to phone.
Kill the internet. The money still moves.
Legend!
You don't own that closed source Bitcoin miner, You run it with the manufacturer's permission.
Don't fool yourself into thinking that because you bought the machine and you paid for the electricity that you're calling the shots.
"The acceleration of the growth and development of Bitcoin mining is going to go absolutely vertical."
BitAxe creator @skot9000 says open-source mining tools are not just for hobbyists.
#Bitcoin up, but all our prices are slashed down for March with our lowest prices ever! Our mad aim is to make an actual difference in March to help decentralise Bitcoin in Australia. Starts tomorrow at

Bitcoin Mining Is Coming Home
Bitcoiners love the idea of heating their homes with Bitcoin miners.
Every time we post a video of someone heating their water tank, pool, or living room with hashrate, it spreads like wildfire.
Here’s why:
Modern miners are thermally bottlenecked by design.
They are engineered to push as much hash rate as possible until cooling becomes the limiting factor.
In simple terms, they are already optimized electric heaters.
100% of the electricity consumed becomes heat.
@tylerkstevens came from aerospace thermal engineering and immediately saw it.
These “shoebox” ASICs are just dense heat engines.
Instead of wasting that heat in a warehouse, why not reuse it in your home?
That insight sparked the Hashrate Heatpunk movement.
The goal is simple: merge Bitcoin mining with everyday infrastructure.
Water heaters, space heaters, pool systems, all appliances you already pay to run.
@skot9000 , an embedded systems engineer, is now working to open source the stack so this can scale properly.
This is how you bring mining back to the household level and build sovereign homes.
NEW SOLO BITCOIN BLOCK FOUND ON SELF-HOSTED UMBREL NODE
A solo miner running a self-hosted Umbrel instance just mined a full Bitcoin block, earning over $212,000 in block rewards and fees.
Proof that even small, independent operators can still win big.
