“The hard problems were never the blockchain.” @walexholmes ran MoneyGram when it put stablecoins to work for cash customers, USDC on Stellar, regulators and all.The business is now settlement, compliance, cash-out. Read it.
I get asked a lot about stablecoins: Are they changing remittances? Why does everyone want to issue one? Who actually makes money?
Having spent much of my career in fintech and cross-border payments, including leading MoneyGram through our work with Ripple and Stellar, I decided to take a look at the market today and put my perspective on paper.
The Reality of Stablecoins: A View from the Operator’s Seat, is my take on the data, economics and practical challenges.

@Iberia Su compañera Jeniree (que por cierto me ha mandado luego un correo desde https://t.co/u746EVxb33) me dijo claramente que al no poder hacerse la cancelación online y dirigirme a llamar no me cobrarían los gastos. Todo patético
Debería ser OBLIGATORIO escuchar a Marina: "Existe una epidemia silenciosa que arrasa el mundo: la insensatez." "Nos acostumbramos a que los problemas se vuelvan crónicos. Toleramos la corrupción política..." https://t.co/I9sv0Rcoc5 #joseantoniomarina
“El arte evoca el misterio sin el cual el mundo no existiría”. Esta frase de René Magritte abre la novela “El plan maestro” que ahora llega a librerías en la preciosa edición de bolsillo que lanza @Booket_Planeta en España. Aquí te lo cuento 🔽

La semilla del Renacimiento se plantó en un pequeño rincón de Grecia, con un personaje que se creía la reencarnación de Platón. Lo cuento en este artículo que hoy publico en @larazon_es

Most Bitcoin builders say programmability requires compromise.
We disagree.
Orobit is a meta-protocol that makes Bitcoin programmable - without bridges, wrapped assets, or added complexity.
Here's how it works:
Contracts execute off-chain. The cryptographic proof anchors directly to Bitcoin.
The result is a system where Bitcoin stays exactly what it is: the most secure, trust-minimized settlement layer on the planet.
Through SCL (Simple Contract Language), we've built that system around four principles:
- Deterministic execution - no surprises, ever
- UTXO-native design - no EVM hacks, no workarounds
- Lightning Network compatibility - fast, cheap, real-world ready
- Institution-grade auditability - every contract verifiable on Bitcoin L1
Real-world applications need infrastructure they can trust.
Bitcoin is that infrastructure. SCL is the language.
What's the use case you'd most want to see live on Bitcoin?

@torresburriel Antes de IA solo usaba OmniFocus que esta pensada sobre la methodologia de “Getting Things Done”. Ahora lo he complementado con Claude y Obsidian.
What happens when investors start questioning the foundations of the system they have trusted for decades?
That question is becoming harder to ignore.
Rising pressure in bond markets, growing debt concerns, and shifting capital flows are pushing more people to look at Bitcoin differently.
Not just as a trade.
Not just as a hedge.
But as the base layer for something bigger.
Bitcoin has already proven its strength as a monetary asset. The next step is making it more useful as financial infrastructure.
That means secure settlement, tokenised assets, smart contract functionality, and systems that can be verified instead of simply trusted.
And if more value moves towards Bitcoin, the real opportunity will be in the rails that make Bitcoin usable at scale.
