What if building Simplicity contracts didn't require managing the entire toolchain yourself? @Arvolear at @blksresearch built Simplex - a Rust development framework with CLI tooling, SDK utilities, and local regtest integration for building high-assurance smart contracts. Artem will demo how it works at Simplicity Office Hours next Tuesday. twitter.com/Liquid_BTC/status/...

@blockstream @blksresearch has 20 person applied cryptography/security team working on this basically full time, you can see that from the pace of R&D output, implementations, BIPs. it's just insulting and FALSE to say bitcoin protocol researchers are "not doing anything".

Great idea! Here's a quick plot showing estimated transactions per second with different hash-based signature schemes. This one uses size-optimized parameters, verification-optimized below 👇 twitter.com/n1ckler/status/203...

"The protocol will simply upgrade to post-quantum signatures like SHRIMPS to protect the thermodynamic wall. Absolute scarcity will just adopt the new math." -@techexe 🦐🤌

"From a technical point of view, I don't see a principled way to stop this" Many of us were sharing this even back in 2023, and this specific post even came up in my Feb 2023 podcast discussion with @rodarmor. 110 supporters would do well to read and understand it. twitter.com/stephanlivera/stat...

I’ve always preferred Bitcoin Maximalism over Pleb Slop Maximalism

@bitfinex margin longs at ATH since nov 2023. 79k BTC bought on margin, and rising 300+ BTC/day all-day TWAP + organic trades.

missed posting 8th Feb bitcoin 200wma crossed $58k. so #58kGang got overtaken by bitcoin's "floor price". twitter.com/adam3us/status/203...

🚀 @bitcoinhodlco ($HODL) now holds 164.487 #Bitcoin after buying 1 BTC via its ATM program and capital strategy, with backing from @adam3us.

Today we’re publishing Brink's 2025 Engineering Impact Report covering the work of the eight Bitcoin Core engineers we funded last year and why we think this work is important.
