🍕 Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day!
On this day in 2010, 10,000 $BTC was spent on two pizzas, the first ever real-world Bitcoin transaction.
Never forget the pizza that started it all. Show us your pizza! 👇
🔥CLARITY ACT PUTS AMERICANS FIRST
The CLARITY Act does not choose between Wall Street and new technology, or Republicans and Democrats.
It chooses everyday Americans.
The bill brings digital assets out of the shadows and into a system that is safer, fairer, and more transparent.
The last 10 years in Bitcoin:
- Went mainstream
- Spot ETFs got approved
- Hit an all time high above $126,000
- Countries created Strategic BTC Reserves
- World's largest asset managers adopted it
- And so much more
The next 10 years are going to be massive for BTC! 🚀
I never intended to become a Bitcoiner.
I heard someone mention, “Bitcoin is digital gold.”
I read one article.
I bought $50 worth, then sold it at a profit five months later.
Then I read the whitepaper.
Then I started going deeper:
• Inflation
• The supply cap
• The issuance schedule
• The thermodynamic security model
• The game theory
• Monetary history
• The Cantillon effect
• The fiat endgame
• Deflation as the natural state of a free economy
And somewhere between "interesting technology" and "holy shit, every dollar I hold is melting," you cross a threshold.
Then I found myself pouring my savings into Bitcoin because I understood the math.
Once you see that 21 million is the only hard monetary ceiling humanity has ever coded into existence, you can’t unsee it.
Once you understand that Bitcoin is an escape from a debt-soaked empire printing itself into irrelevance, you stop asking whether you should buy it. You start asking why the hell you waited this long.
Bitcoin is a journey.
Get started in 2026.
GERMANY MAY BE PREPARING TO END ONE OF THE WORLD'S BEST BITCOIN TAX LAWS
For years, German law treated Bitcoin more like gold under private disposal rules, allowing tax-free gains after one year of holding.
But now, Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil reportedly confirmed the government plans to tax Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies “differently,” potentially abolishing Germany’s one year holding exemption and treating Bitcoin more like stocks.
Critics say this directly contradicts prior coalition promises not to raise taxes and reflects a government desperately searching for new revenue sources amid one of the world’s heaviest tax burdens.
Legal scholars now warn that singling Bitcoin out for harsher treatment could face constitutional challenges under Germany’s equality protections, especially since long term holders made financial decisions based on the existing framework.
Austria already removed its holding period exemption.
Bitpanda co founder Eric Demuth later called the move an “extremely stupid decision,” saying it created more bureaucracy and complexity while generating little meaningful benefit for the state.
To Bitcoin advocates, this is about whether governments will increasingly target individuals using decentralized money systems outside traditional financial control.
BITCOIN JUST GOT TWO NEW DEFENSES AGAINST QUANTUM ATTACKS IN LAST 48 HOURS.
On April 8, Lightning Labs CTO Olaoluwa Osuntokun published a working prototype that solves a critical problem.
If Bitcoin ever activates an emergency shutdown of its current security system to block a quantum attack, millions of wallets would have no way to prove ownership and their funds would be locked forever.
His tool gives those wallet owners a backup way to prove they own their funds without triggering the vulnerability that quantum computers would exploit.
On April 9, StarkWare CPO Avihu Levy published a scheme that makes Bitcoin transactions quantum safe today without touching the protocol at all.
It works by quietly swapping out the part of Bitcoin's security that quantum computers can break, and replacing it with a different type of math that they cannot break, all while the transaction still looks completely normal to the Bitcoin network. The catch is cost, Each transaction requires $75 to $150 in computing power and cannot be sent through the normal network.
It goes directly to miners instead. It is a last resort tool for large Bitcoin holders, not something for everyday use.
Both are emergency measures.
The permanent fix, BIP-360, is still years away.
But two weeks after Google showed a quantum computer could crack Bitcoin's encryption in 9 minutes, developers delivered two working tools in two days.
