#BREAKING 🚨 BOOOOM 💥💥

Billionaire JACK DORSEY has done it again! His app BITCHAT lets users SEND BITCOIN WITHOUT THE INTERNET! This is next-level tech for the crypto world!

WHAT A GAME CHANGER! 🎉

Grady Booch claims he has studied Bitcoin thoroughly.

Therefore, by declaring Bitcoin an "abject failure", he effectively say that he believes

Either Grady has not researched Bitcoin as thoroughly as he believes he has, or he has the highest bar of success I have ever encountered !

Die EU will die Sanktionen gegen Russland verschärfen. 🇪🇺⚡️🇷🇺

Mit dem geplanten 21. Sanktionspaket sollen sogar Krypto-Dienstleister in Drittstaaten stärker ins Visier genommen sowie Transaktionen auf 11 Krypto-Plattformen verboten werden. 🚫👀

Am Bitcoin-Markt herrscht nach dem @Strategy-Verkauf Panik – es werden sogar Parallelen zwischen $STRC und $UST von Terra Luna gezogen. 😳

Wie rational sind die Sorgen und wird die Situation möglicherweise gerade gezielt für einen Crash ausgenutzt? 🤔

Did Iran just drop an AI LEGO-style music video promoting the use of Bitcoin to pay the toll through the Strait of Hormuz?

[Daniel Batten @DSBatten]

I just got back from the Bitcoin Energy Summit in Lisbon and I have a question that won't leave me alone.

First some context: Bitcoin mining is now stabilizing the grids of 7 nations, 4 agencies (including the Spanish Govt and the World's largest energy policy association) just called for more flexible demand being critical to the resilience of the grids of the future - and Bitcoin mining is the world's most flexible load resource by an order of magnitude.

So in light of this my question is this: why is 95% of the Bitcoin adoption conversation about Bitcoin-as-money when Bitcoin-as-energy is already deployed on grids across 3 continents?

Is it possible that energy is the Bitcoin usecase that paves the road for mainstream acceptance of Bitcoin in the West?

I've been in this space for four years now. When I started, the conversation was "bitcoin mining wastes energy." A group of Bitcoiners including @thetrocro, @jyn_urso and others changed that. Then it became "ok maybe it doesn't waste energy, but it's not useful." @gladstein, @jack and others changed that too.

But here's what I noticed in Lisbon. Three separate European organisations - the European Bitcoin Energy Association, Free Madeira, and the Institut National de Bitcoin in France - are all independently converging on the same conclusion.

@geyer_rachel, Chair of EBEA said energy is what will move the needle for Bitcoin in Europe. @andreloja at @FREEMadeiraOrg said energy is the most topical issue in Europe right now. Bastien Desteuque (@Proxy18387764), directeur général at @BitcoinPolicyFr said they're focusing on mining because France has spare nuclear capacity and that's where the biggest opportunity is.

Three organisations. Same conclusion.

And that's before you get to what's actually being built. In Sweden, a man I coach runs ASIC hardware that earns almost two-thirds of its revenue from frequency regulation - keeping the lights on, responding in seconds to the need of the grid operator, and helping to stabilize the grid an incredible 11,247 times last year alone. (Yes, you read that sentence right).

In Lisbon, I watched Kenji Tateiwa present a circular economy where bitcoin mining heat grows tropical fish and the CO2 gets converted to charcoal and micro diamonds. Bastian outlined how France's surplus nuclear energy could be absorbed by bitcoin mining by 2027.

And outside the West, from stabilizing the economy of Bhutan post-covid to helping save Virunga National Park in Africa - Bitcoin mining was behind both events and many more. This phenomenon is a global one.

The conversation has quietly moved from "does bitcoin mining help grids?" to "how many services can one machine provide?"

We've been thinking about this like monoculture - one machine, one function.

What I saw in Lisbon is permaculture. The same hardware doing frequency regulation, heat capture, Sats-minting ... and potentially in the near future - voltage regulation (something that would have prevented the 28 April 2025 Iberian Peninsular Blackout).

I talked to Bitcoin founders after the keynote who told me the energy thesis had opened their eyes. These are people who worked to advance Bitcoin payment infrastructure, and they hadn't fully grasped this.

Bitcoin solves a monetary problem the world is only beginning to understand. I'm more convinced of that than ever.

And ... as we wait for that revolution to be fully grasped, the energy revolution is already here - deployed, generating revenue, stabilizing grids. It might just be the thing that opens the door for everything else. What other Bitcoin use case is this far along ... at least in the West?

Der Iran hat eine Art neues Mautsystem namens „Hormuz Safe“ gestartet, für das in Bitcoin bezahlt werden muss. 🇮🇷

Nachdem die USA kürzlich USDT-Bestände des Iran eingefroren haben, setzt das Land jetzt wohl umso mehr auf $BTC. 👀

#Bitcoin has a color.

Not the brand orange. The actual wavelength of its block frequency, transposed 58 octaves into visible light: 624 nm. Orange-red.

The protocol vibrates at the color it already wears. Nobody planned this. The math just does it.

Die Initiative, mit der die Schweizerische Nationalbank zum Bitcoin-Kauf verpflichtet werden sollte, ist gescheitert. 🇨🇭

Offenbar wurde nur die Hälfte der benötigten Unterschriften erreicht. ❌

Gleichzeitig erhöht die @SNB_BNS ihre $MSTR-Position. 📈

Luckiest solo miner in the world? 🚀🧱

EightofSpace on Reddit announced he solved his SECOND solo Bitcoin block from his house. 🤯

First one was October 27, 2025 at block 920440 with a NerdQAxe++ setup doing around ~130 TH/s total. Second one was May 4, 2026 at block 948146, this time with an Avalon Q.

Same guy. Same house. About half a million dollars.
Absolutely insane story.

Die Partei @dieLinke setzt sich mit einem neuen Antrag nicht nur für die Abschaffung der Haltefrist ein, sondern auch für eine Wegzugsbesteuerung und ein Bitcoin-Handelsverbot. 🇩🇪🚨

Zur Begründung wird u.a. auf den hohen Energieverbrauch verwiesen. 🤦‍♂️

UNFASSBAR:

Sogar einem EU-weiten Handelsverbot für Kryptowährungen, die „keine volkswirtschaftliche Funktion erfüllen“ oder wegen Proof-of-Work „massive Umweltschäden verursachen“, soll der Weg geebnet werden.

@dieLinke möchte wohl wirklich den Handel mit Bitcoin verbieten. 🚨
