Anonymous cash for Bitcoin Lightning at nearly all Polish ATMs.
And that’s not all—you can pay with Bitcoin Lightning literally everywhere in Poland!
No KYC, no registration, via the Nostr provider.
I love it when I come across new technology that gives (European) bureaucrats the middle finger, especially in a situation where they want to spy on and regulate you across the board.
Most recently, I was this excited about a non-KYC project for exchanging stablecoins for fiat via https://t.co/5Bdka5KM6w, which bypasses the dystopian centralized exchanges that have to do massive reporting due to EU regulations like DAC-8 and MiCA.
In the case of BITBLIK, just like with https://t.co/eOBJxn7Yu6, you’re doing decentralized P2P trading, so I assume no regulation applies to you (it doesn’t go through any intermediary).
Today I came across a great Polish app called BITBLIK https://t.co/nUSKPCNERY, which connects the widely available BLIK system in Poland with Bitcoin Lightning.
With Bitcoin Lightning, you can pay anonymously anywhere in Poland, withdraw cash anonymously from an ATM (which I just did!), or make online payments on Polish websites.
BLIK is widely accepted (it’s supported by a network of over 13,000 ATMs across Poland and hundreds of thousands of merchants; according to AI, there are 87,000 of them).
Install the https://t.co/nUSKPCNERY app, launch it—no registration required, no KYC—enter an offer for how much you want to pay in PLN or how much you want to withdraw from an ATM.
You’ll make a Bitcoin Lightning payment, which will be locked.
Wait a minute or two until someone accepts your offer (the other party who has BLIK and wants Bitcoin Lightning).
As soon as they do, a BLIK code will appear.
It’s valid for about two minutes, so enter it at an ATM or at a terminal in a store or restaurant.
After a successful payment, you confirm that you used the BLIK code, and the Lightning payment is credited to the recipient.
Limits for BLIK payments vary by Polish ATM. ING Bank Śląski has the highest limit: 10,000 PLN per day (2,356 EUR), while mBank has a limit of 5,000 PLN per day (1,178 EUR). PKO BP allows BLIK transactions up to 1,500 PLN, but you can make up to 20,000 PLN (4,722 EUR) worth of transactions per day.
And of course, those limits apply to the merchant. When various merchants accept your Lightning payments, you effectively have no limits—you’re only limited by the counterparty’s liquidity.
BLIK is 100% open-source, so it can’t be banned!
You can fork it and use it within your own closed community.
In Lvov, Zelensky's goons pulled a man into a van, but locals saved him.
People blocked the TCC's van with their cars and smashed the van's windows to rescue the guy.
Russia was banned from #Eurovision for invading Ukraine, and Belarus for repressing Journalists. Israel is given 2nd place with rigged votes amid the Gaza Genocide and Lebanon invasion while massacring journalists. Despite 5 European countries boycotting the contest. Clown show
🇧🇬 HUGE! Historic Win for Rumen Radev Winning Majority in Bulgaria's Elections.
This finally, brought political stability to the Nation since 1997.
He is also not Pro-Russian despite the media. He is a pragmatist and is vocal about NOT supplying weapons to Ukraine.
That feeling when I got unplugged but realized my whole family and friends are still plugged in. It is our duty to unplug them. So grateful for the plebs who unplugged me.
Bitcoin devs just built a prototype to protect wallets from quantum attacks.
Even in worst case scenarios, Bitcoin could pause normal spending and still let users recover their funds using this new method.
Quantum defenses are already being built. 🚀

I spent the evening looking into quantum computing timelines as a non-expert in quantum computing. Here is what I’ve learned:
We currently have machines with ~1,000–1,500 physical qubits at error rates around 10⁻³, and Google’s algorithm requires ~500,000 physical qubits operating coherently together with surface code error correction, yoked qubit storage, magic state cultivation producing ~500K T states per second, and reaction-limited execution at 10μs cycle times — none of which has been demonstrated beyond small-scale proof-of-concept experiments.
Scaling from where we are to where this needs to be isn’t a matter of incremental improvement along a Moore’s Law curve; it requires solving qualitatively new engineering problems in qubit fabrication yield, correlated error suppression across a massive chip (or multi-chip interconnects that don’t exist yet), cryogenic wiring and control electronics for half a million qubits, real-time classical decoding at the required throughput, and sustained coherence of a “primed” quantum state across minutes of wall-clock time — any one of which could prove to be a multi-year bottleneck, and all of which must be solved simultaneously.
Given the above, I just don’t see how we’re going to get to a cryptographically relevant quantum computer by 2030, especially given that we need a ~350× increase in physical qubit count with simultaneously tighter error correlations, an entirely new cryogenic control and wiring architecture to address half a million qubits, real-time decoding infrastructure that doesn’t exist yet, magic state distillation factories operating at industrial throughput, and multi-minute coherent idle times for primed states — and historically, solving even one of these at scale has taken the field the better part of a decade.
₿REAKING: Jack Dorsey’s technology company @Blocks announced today a new ‘bitcoin faucet’ website https://t.co/sMRqQFut9G that goes live on April 6. The original in 2010, gave away five bitcoins to every site visitor promoting education, that would be $350,000 today.
Глупаците ще кажат, че само цената ти е вглавата.
Тръгнеш да им говориш за фундамента - те заспиват.
Казват ти, че квантовите компютри щели да счупят Биткойн ей сега.
Повтарят ти го вече от 10 години.
Нямат нито 1 Биткойн и казват, че и не им трябва.
За какво им е? За какво ще го ползват?
Връщаш се пак на фундамента.
Обясняваш им, че Биткойн е децентрализиран, дигитален, лесно преносим зад граница, неконфискуем, лимитиран, без инфлация, справедлив.
Те те питат, че ти престъпник ли си? Защо ти е да бягаш зад граница, защо ти е нещо, което не могат да ти конфискуват?
Ти му обясняваш, че не е до това дали ти си престъпник и дали теб те гонят, а до това, че е важно правителството да не се чувства в абсолютна власт.
Защото властта те променя, се едно дявола се вцелява в теб, ставаш егоист, продаваш си душата.
Той ти казва, че си полудял.
Ти му обясняваш, че света ще просперира на твърди пари, че като имаме справедливост капитала ще отива при тези, които са най-полезни, докато са полезни, че всеки ще има толкова колкото заслужава, а не колкото връзки има.
Той ти казва, че не разбира какви глупости му говориш - света си просперира и в момента.
Ти му казваш, че света просперира ВЪПРЕКИ фиатната система, а не благодарение на нея.
Обясняваш му, че 2% инфлацие е илюзия - реалната е 10%, обясняваш му, че инженерите след 30 години дефлация - компютри, самолети, влакове, кораби, съплай чейн, нз си ко - цените пак са нагоре, вместо на долу.
той ти повтаря като папагал, че без инфлацията икономиката ще спре и ще има зверска криза - "2% инфлация е добре за икономиката".
Ти му обясняваш за ефекта на Кантилион, че тези, които са най-близко до принтера са най-облагодетелствани, че той не е един от тях, че банката няма парите за ипотеката - няма резерви, златни или други, не ползва депозитите на хората.
Той ти казва, че хубаво, че са ипотеките иначе нямаш да си е купил преди 10 години панелка в Младост 4 и сега да е баровец.
Обясняваш му, че всяко поколение прецаква следващото и прави все по-недостъпни, раждаемостта пада, все по-трудно е да закупиш дом за детето ти - той казва, че младотот поколение е мързеливо и него какво го ебе.
Обясняваш му, че преди 30 години имота е бил по-малко годишни заплати - отговорът е: "Ейми така е..."
Биткойн ще победи.
Не защото аз искам така.
Не защото аз казвам така.
А защото когато и е дошло времето на една идея - никой не може да я спре.
И когато Биткойн спечели всички, всички!, ще живеем по-добре.
Но глупаците вместо да ни благодарят ще ни наричат късметлии.
Така, че, глупако, като прочетеш това на $200,000 за Биткойн - знай, че благодарение на мен идва по-добрия свят.
Не благодарение на теб.
Знай, че като го пиша този пост на $66,560 за Биткойн другите глупаци като теб ми се смея, оплюват ми, обясняват ми какъв съм сектант, откъснат от реалността, как златото е феноменално, как Биткойна дори не можеш да го пипнеш, каму ли да правищ бижута от него, не се ползва в индустрията, не е пари от 5,000 години.
Няма тук късмет.
Има собствен анализ, собствен възглед над света, и преди всичко - ГОЛЕМИ. ЗДРАВИ. ТОПКИ.
Неща, които ти никога не си имал никога и няма да имаш.
Сладка ли е пържолата?

Folks, we told you this was coming, and today the mask is fully off.
A couple weeks back we reported, based on solid sources, that Coinbase was quietly lobbying to kill a real de minimis tax exemption for Bitcoin while pushing one that applied only to stablecoins like USDC. We laid out the clear incentives in our deep dive. Coinbase made 1.35 billion dollars in stablecoin revenue last year, up 48 percent year over year, almost entirely from yield on the Treasuries backing USDC.
A proper Bitcoin de minimis would let people spend sats on everyday purchases without triggering taxable events on every transaction. That directly competes with their centralized yield machine. We called it what it was. Policy that protects Coinbase’s float rather than advancing neutral Bitcoin adoption.
Brian Armstrong pushed back hard. He called our reporting totally false and misinformation while insisting he was personally lobbying for Bitcoin de minimis. Some accused us of lying or spreading rumors. We stood firm. We offered to have Brian on the TFTC podcast to clear the air. We waited.
Now the latest draft from Reps. Horsford and Max Miller on the updated PARITY Act framework has dropped. It confirms exactly what we warned about. It gives a de minimis exemption to stablecoins but leaves Bitcoin out entirely. It keeps the punishing double taxation on Bitcoin mining fully intact while carving out relief for passive validation, basically staking. This is not an oversight or sloppy drafting. It abandons any pretense of technology neutrality and deliberately picks winners. Dollar-pegged stables and staking get the breaks, while actual Bitcoin usage as money and Proof-of-Work mining get kneecapped.
Without de minimis for Bitcoin, every small Lightning payment or sat transaction still forces cost-basis tracking and IRS headaches. Paying your plumber in sats or grabbing lunch with Bitcoin remains a taxable event. Stablecoins, being pegged and low-volatility, get an exemption they barely need. The real beneficiary is protecting that massive USDC reserve float and the yield it generates.
Meanwhile, American Bitcoin miners, already operating in one of the toughest, most capital- and energy-intensive industries, face continued double taxation while staking gets a pass. That is not neutral policy. It is industrial policy against domestic Bitcoin mining at a time when we should be leaning into energy abundance and securing the hardest monetary network.
The Bitcoin Policy Institute is releasing a full statement soon, and we fully back the call for strong community pushback. Every Bitcoiner needs to contact their reps and make it politically radioactive to sideline Bitcoin while handing carve-outs to stables and staking. This language slows real adoption, entrenches custodians, and weakens American Bitcoin infrastructure.
We weren’t lying. Our sources weren’t lying. The draft proves the reporting was on target. Those who rushed to call it misinformation owe the community some honest reflection.
Brian, if you’re still open to that conversation, the invitation stands. Come on the podcast. No spin, just walk us through how this draft lines up with your stated support for Bitcoin de minimis. The mic is warm.
This fight isn’t over. Bitcoin doesn’t need permission, but bad policy can delay sovereign adoption and punish the miners securing the network. We’re here to protect the protocol and the right of individuals to use sound money without turning every transaction into a compliance nightmare.
Stay sovereign. Stack sats. Use Bitcoin as money anyway. Call your reps today.
If you're an investor, you need to understand this one simple thing:
The world took out $300+ trillion in global debt when interest rates were 0-1%
And now it's being forced to refinance at 5%+ interest rates.
UBS just gated a €400mn real estate fund.
One more fund added to the growing pile of private equity and private credit funds that are telling investors to take a hike.
We've been talking about "something breaking" since 2022.
There have been mini crises along the way... UK gilt markets, regional banking crises, etc.
But each of those was quickly papered over.
Now investors are lulled into a sense of complacency, assuming the authorities can prevent pain indefinitely.
But you simply cannot just go from 0% interest rates to 5%+ with record debt levels and not face big problems eventually.
Think about it in simple terms:
When rates are 1%, you can take out a $100M loan and only pay $1M a year in interest.
You can invest that $100M into real estate, cash-flowing businesses, and speculative startups.
That pushes valuations of everything higher and everyone thinks they're getting rich.
Which is exactly what's been happening since 2008.
Equity index performance since the money printing began in 2008 has been a complete statistical anomaly.
The market sits in the 99th percentile for valuation richness based on 70 years of data.
American exceptionalism? Technology boom?
Or just the late stages of a massive debt orgy pushing valuations of everything higher?
Eventually you need to refinance that $100M loan you took out.
But what happens when interest rates are 5% now and refusing to come down?
Now it costs $5M a year for the same $100M loan.
Your expenses have gone 5x in a short period of time - but has your income done the same?
Unlikely.
Let's keep it simple and assume your income doubled and you can afford $2M a year in interest.
But at 5% rates that means you can only take out a $40M loan.
So now you're on the hook for the $60 million you borrowed.
Maybe you can sell some of the assets you bought with the original $100M?
But who's buying? Everyone is in the same boat!
The price you bought at only made sense in a 0% interest rate world.
The bottom line is people can't afford nearly as much debt when interest rates go up, so the debt-fueled increase in asset prices MUST come to an end.
These are the simple mechanics of fiat money and debt.
This is why it's a risk to take out debt when you hit 0% interest after 40 straight years of falling rates.
Eventually the trend reverses one way or another.
And you are at the mercy of whatever policy response the central planners decide to enact.
They can choose:
Great Depression II (debt collapse) or
Currency crisis (print the fiat into oblivion to prevent the debt collapse)
If you have a massive supply disruption of critical raw materials, perhaps you get both.
Usually, the drastic policy response doesn't come before a true crisis.
Which means we should expect asset prices to eventually adjust violently to the new reality as everyone starts to realize what's going on.
In that environment, cash is the best asset to hold.
"But cash is trash!" everyone screams near the generational top...
Ask the silent generation who lived through the 1930s what they thought about cash.
Cash is only trash when it can be printed at will, but occasionally there are constraints on printing cash.
And in a debt spiral, it's actually the scarcest thing.
Cash is like oxygen. Usually you have plenty.
But sometimes, like when you're underwater and your lungs are screaming for air, you'd trade absolutely anything to get some.
Occasionally it's very rational to be bullish on cash.
If an asset you like is going down 50%, then your cash is going up 100% priced in that asset.
Your purchasing power doubles. But only if you see cash as an asset at the right moment.
Allowing yourself to be occasionally bullish on cash is what separates doomers from winners.
If you know there's going to be a shortage of oil, it's easy to be bullish on oil. And if you think there's going to be a shortage of cash, then you can be bullish on cash.
Simple.
Interest rates rising in an environment with record debt levels usually means there's going to be a shortage of cash at some point.
And people will have to sell whatever they can to get cash to service their debts.
It's simple arithmetic.
Yes, usually the central planners step in when things get too painful.
Because printing money is better than doing nothing in their minds.
But will they print if there's an oil supply shock sending the cost of everything skyward?
Will they break their inflation mandate just to save the fiat ponzi?
That would be a tacit admission that the whole system is a big fugazi that only survives with money printing.
Which puts the credibility of sovereign debt and fiat currencies at risk, and thus jeopardizes the very power of the central planners themselves.
As an investor you need to be aware of what's going on and what could happen between now and a potential policy response.
The "gates" at UBS, Ares, and Apollo are simply the first signs that the fire has started but the exit door is WAY too small for the crowd.
And you never want to be the last one out the door.

@isabellasg3@AbundantMines Not that I ever followed, but I just unfollowed you.
I dislike Bitcoin scammers more than Fiat slaves.
Why?
Because Fiat slaves do not comprehend what is being done to them.
Bitcoin scammers, on the other hand, are fully aware of the damage they will do to others.
