What does it take to build a truly global Bitcoin protocol?
@lucasdcf, co-founder of @Vinteum_org, has spent years making space for Brazilian developers in the Bitcoin open-source ecosystem.
Through grants, education programs, and @casavinteum, Vinteum has helped 15+ developers land full-time roles at projects like @bitcoindevkit, @StratumV2, and @Blockstream.

🚨New Video! This one is very important.
41 kidnappings. 4 months. One country. This is how France became the most dangerous place on Earth to own Bitcoin — and the data leak that made it possible.
How about tablet-like signers?
@YTCryptoGuide pushed Kern support for a family of devices ranging from 7" to 10.1" (for ~$50 to $70).
Kern now supports @Elecrow1 ESP32P4-based devices.
Look for Crow Panel Advanced if you'd like to join Kern development for big screens.
Bruno is one of the reasons Vinteum exists.
Helping him become a full-time Bitcoin developer was part of our founding vision, which later grew into a broader mission: creating a strong pipeline of Brazilian Bitcoin developers.
Btrust had a similar vision for Africa, later expanded it to the Global South, and became a major supporter of Vinteum’s work.
Bruno comes from a generation of Bitcoin developers that had to find their own way before organizations like ours existed. There are still many challenges ahead if we want open-source Bitcoin development to become a stable long-term career path.
We’re proud to see Bruno now helping guide that work at an even larger scale, and proud to share him with Btrust as a board member.
Intentional VPN backdoor on Android?
Looks like it
TL;DR
+ security researcher @cybaqkebm found a bug on Android
+ the bug allows apps to circumvent VPN tunnels, leaking user data
+ the bug was reported to Android, with a proposed fix
+ Android sais it wouldn't fix it
+ The bug report mysteriously disappeared
+ GrapheneOS already released a patched version
+ advanced users can manually patch their Androids via USB debugging (adb code)
Um cara embolsou R$36.900 no Polymarket indo até o sensor meteorológico que a plataforma usava como referência, um termômetro perto de uma pista no aeroporto de Paris, e apontando um secador de cabelo para ele.
Entrou com US$ 2.000 a 5 centavos. Comprou YES nas metas de temperatura. Aqueceu o sensor. Embolsou o lucro e sumiu.
The year is 2040. Michael Saylor announces another multi billion dollar purchase. Strategy owns 10 million Bitcoin and price is still $75,000. You’re starting to wonder if paper bitcoin is real.
.@callebtc at @PubKey: "What many developers are doing wrong is they assume everyone ... has spent half of their life becoming an expert in the thing that they’re an expert in. It takes a form of empathy to understand what people value and why they should be listening to you.”
So you are using AI to write your resume to apply for a job where HR will use AI to screen the resume?
Then the first round interview will be done on HireVue where an AI will review your answers?
And once you are on the job, you will use AI to write your emails and reports, while your boss will use AI to summarize that report?
Iran demanding $BTC for Hormuz tolls proves it: censorship-resistance IS the intrinsic value.
- USD? Frozen by SWIFT.
- Yuan? Beijing's control.
- Stables? Issuer blacklists.
- Gold? Try emailing it.
Bitcoin is the only truly unstoppable, neutral money on earth.
Anthropic accidentally leaked their entire source code yesterday. What happened next is one of the most insane stories in tech history.
> Anthropic pushed a software update for Claude Code at 4AM.
> A debugging file was accidentally bundled inside it.
> That file contained 512,000 lines of their proprietary source code.
> A researcher named Chaofan Shou spotted it within minutes and posted the download link on X.
> 21 million people have seen the thread.
> The entire codebase was downloaded, copied and mirrored across GitHub before Anthropic's team had even woken up.
> Anthropic pulled the package and started firing DMCA takedowns at every repo hosting it.
> That's when a Korean developer named Sigrid Jin woke up at 4AM to his phone blowing up.
> He is the most active Claude Code user in the world with the Wall Street Journal reporting he personally used 25 billion tokens last year.
> His girlfriend was worried he'd get sued just for having the code on his machine.
> So he did what any engineer would do.
> He rewrote the entire thing in Python from scratch before sunrise.
> Called it claw-code and Pushed it to GitHub.
> A Python rewrite is a new creative work. DMCA can't touch it.
> The repo hit 30,000 stars faster than any repository in GitHub history.
> He wasn't satisfied. He started rewriting it again in Rust.
> It now has 49,000 stars and 56,000 forks.
> Someone mirrored the original to a decentralised platform with one message, "will never be taken down."
> The code is now permanent. Anthropic cannot get it back.
Anthropic built a system called Undercover Mode specifically to stop Claude from leaking internal secrets. Then they leaked their own source code themselves. You cannot make this up.
