If AI makes building apps easy, identity & data ownership become the real battleground.

From helping kick off Presidio Bitcoin’s founding days to backing early-stage Bitcoin startups through Hivemind, @nprofile…3ec2 shares how he's backing open-source devs, early startups, and thinking big: terawatt grids, Nostr as a new layer of the internet, and more!

The Bitcoin Core v30 controversy is heating up. At stake: consensus vs policy, centralization risks, and the network’s future identity.

AI is heading down the same ad-driven slope that turned Facebook and Google into engines of manipulation.
But could the financial resources of Bitcoin whales + tools like Goose & Bitcoin open the door to a new path: building models that are open and decentralized?
@nprofile…3ec2 and the PBJ crew discuss:

Google just unveiled its “Cloud Universal Ledger” - not really a blockchain, but a centralized database aimed at the stablecoin market.
Big Tech edging into money raises a bigger question: are banks being quietly replaced, and how does it all eventually come back to Bitcoin?

Tether, Stripe, and the banks are duking it out with rival stablecoin models, each of which is shaped by its own profit motives, interoperability challenges, adoption pathways and regulatory frameworks.
Bitcoin, however, may rise above the fray as the only truly open, neutral settlement and interoperability layer, a sharp contrast to the litany of fragmented, proprietary intranets.
Full discussion below: https://youtu.be/XoSmWHqW_X0

2025-08-25 15:22:36 UTC

BitChat, the P2P messaging app launched by @nprofile…zj6n last month(!), is evolving fast:
In our latest PBJ, the crew breaks down: 
• Mesh networking and geo-hashing basics 
• Lessons from Clubhouse and Google Buzz on quality and scale 
• BitChat as a platform vs. everything app, and Nostr as invisible infrastructure 
• Future applications: LocalBitcoins, compute markets, open AI platforms

Payment giants Stripe and Circle are building out their own stablecoin-focused blockchains, but as walled gardens multiply, the demand for a neutral, global settlement protocol intensifies.

@nprofile…zx9t, founder of The Bitcoin Layer, joined us @nprofile…3skh to sign copies of his new book Bitcoin Age and lead a wide-ranging Q&A on reading markets, the dollar’s future, and Bitcoin’s long arc.
Key takeaways:
• The 2-year yield beats the Fed as a forward indicator.
• Liquidity = bank balance sheets, low rates, and low volatility.
• Stablecoins are Eurodollar 2.0, pulling dollar power back onshore.
• Bitcoin’s growth follows a power law: address² × price³.
• The yearly debt roll (now ~$75T) can persist for decades, and Bitcoin can rise alongside it.
• Endgame: Bitcoin as the market-chosen neutral settlement layer for global debt.

Block’s newly released Proto Rig and open-source Proto Fleet mark a major step in Bitcoin mining.
Spiral Lead @nprofile…3akf explains why Block entered mining, how Proto lowers capex and reduces e-waste, why its efficiency rivals Bitmain, and how chips-as-components open the door to entirely new mining designs:

Google’s latest AI data center deal adopts a model long used by Bitcoin miners: demand response.
For years, miners have leveraged this flexibility to earn extra revenue. Google’s move suggests the model is no longer unique to them, and that competition for flexible load opportunities is set to grow.

From the UK’s Online Safety Act to Apple’s on-device photo scanning, governments and platforms are eroding privacy and normalizing ID checks for basic online access.

@nprofile…3akf says gold has been a better investment than bitcoin over the past four years.
In USD terms, BTC has risen sharply, but when priced in gold, it’s barely moved since 2021.
Watch as PBJ unpacks why that matters, and how tracking BTC vs gold can give a healthier, more meaningful view than looking at dollars alone:

Hi Diyana,
Thanks for your interest! Our presence on Nostr has been a bit spotty, but we did share the event widely through X and LinkedIn.
The event was invite-only, with a focus on bringing together participants who could contribute valuable insights as either speakers or attendees. That said, we did have a public application process open to everyone.
We’d love to have you involved in the future! Be sure to follow us on X (@PresidioBitcoin) to stay in the loop on all upcoming events.
Warmly,
PB
