Rootstock just upgraded its stablecoin standard to USDT0 and early movers get rewarded.
Swap any legacy USDT on @rootstock_io → USDT0 at 1:1 on Oku.
Plus: boosted LP incentives are active across USDT0 pools on Oku.
Here's the TLDR 🧵
Bitcoiners will spend Bitcoin on coffee, beer, pizza, (weed), art, and apparently even an NBA referee bribe. Ask them when they last sold, though? That's when the confession wall gets interesting.
We put two simple questions on a wall at @BTCPrague and handed people markers. What's the last thing you bought with $BTC? When was the last time you sold?
The answers are worth a read. Pizza and beer. Coffee. Clothing. A water bottle. A magazine. Bitcoin art. A car. A donation. Weed.
"My freedom," some writes. For some people, Bitcoin isn't just something to trade. It's something that gives them access, choice, and control.
(And then there's the NBA ref bribe)
Then there was the sell side of the wall. "Never". "Last week". "NEVER". "💎 Hands".
That was the contrast. People had endless answers for what they bought. But when it came to selling, the answers got a lot simpler and narrower.
That's the point. Bitcoin is becoming something people use. It's still also something a lot of people really don't want to give up.
P.S. Two future Bitcoiners, hard at work.
In case you missed it last week:
For the first time in Bitcoin and Rootstock history, miners can control their own merge-mining commitments and receive rBTC rewards directly to their own address.

No pool intermediary. Miners own the template. Miners get paid.
"The miner controls the merge mining and the miner gets paid for the merge mining," says @bitentrepreneur, CEO and and Co-Founder at @DMND_Sv2.
BIG NEWS
A stablecoin backed by a single asset can only scale so far. RIF On Chain V3 changes that.
USDRIF can now be issued against both $RIF and DOC. RIF drives growth and absorbs volatility. DOC, a Bitcoin-backed stablecoin, adds stability and capital efficiency.
Two collateral sources. One fungible USDRIF supply.
The upgrade is non-disruptive: no migration, no manual action, funds stay fully accessible throughout.
Multi-collateral USDRIF, built natively on @rootstock_io.
