Regulatory clarity improved. The technical stack continued to harden. User adoption continues to expand with more on-ramps and layer 2 solutions coming online. While most of the market fixated on charts, the foundation kept getting stronger.<br/><br/>“Institutional capital is no longer circling, it is here. Nation states are no longer whispering, they are experimenting in public. Bitcoin has continued to mature, and it increasingly looks less like a speculative asset and more like global sound money. Heading into 2026, the question is not if Bitcoin works, it’s whether the average person is ready for the world that is forming around it.”<br/><br/>We are kicking off this year with some comments &amp; predictions from our CEO, David Parkinson, and other industry leaders being featured by Bitcoin News. We look at the economy at large, the threats facing individuals and businesses more broadly in the context of AI and other factors, and the adoption of Bitcoin as a new global collateral &amp; payments layer.<br/><br/><a href="https://bitcoinnews.com/p/bitcoin-2026-sovereignty-settlement-repricing-of-trust">https://bitcoinnews.com/p/bitcoin-2026-sovereignty-settlement-repricing-of-trust</a><br/> 2026-01-01T15:38:31Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsqe7vlcgywp2h7af00wkcj77tmuwm993pm20pscnyssalze4vh6fgzyr0jqr9vxnm04v2ztpe4gnedsmxsku73n65yrkzvq6mexu9m5g2gxrpc7h4 Bitcoin is economic gunpowder for the future of money.<br/><br/>Dive into how we are using the Lightning Network to make Bitcoin a real medium of exchange in everyday commerce, in this new interview featuring our CEO, David Parkinson ⚡️👇<br/><br/><a href="https://medium.com/authority-magazine/the-future-is-now-david-parkinson-of-musqet-on-how-their-technological-innovations-will-shake-up-0cdca306f0de">https://medium.com/authority-magazine/the-future-is-now-david-parkinson-of-musqet-on-how-their-technological-innovations-will-shake-up-0cdca306f0de</a><br/> 2025-12-29T17:06:42Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqspelrdxrsxlgrxuxcs70a0jmhveeq6az5rqqrha9p440rxcyu792gzyr0jqr9vxnm04v2ztpe4gnedsmxsku73n65yrkzvq6mexu9m5g2gxrm9a05 Resistant to decay.<br/>Spendable, and acceptable, by all.<br/><br/>Bitcoin is better money.<br/><br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/4f66ff4c9c02c763611b3e34016f6fe3c2deb80001afd1b3ee8de1998e4b280e.png"> 2025-09-23T14:24:24Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs279sjg5aqx04aq96fa08u6pzawmyjtew3l73tyhr5jqrr3ehaumqzyr0jqr9vxnm04v2ztpe4gnedsmxsku73n65yrkzvq6mexu9m5g2gxsnrzhl In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstgjkvj7q4haehafegrw93s44gh0ta45qryg44syjv92au7ad0nacppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp04ag840'>nevent1q…g840</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Hopefully <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qqsr7wsusu63u3qzm4evaadu43eydg4trvaw22l6u200gujjkl55ctcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wghxyctwvshsz8thwden5te0dehhxarj95crztnev94kj6r0dehx2tnrdakj7e6fpff" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Roxom TV</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…fpff</span>)</a></span> can share some clips!

What did he find? <br/><br/>• Bitcoin use in illicit activity is far less than many people assume.<br/><br/>• It is likely a significantly smaller share of the bitcoin-economy than illicit use of dollars are vs global GDP.<br/><br/>• Claims about the use of Bitcoin in illicit finance are vastly overstated.<br/><br/>• Illicit activity among all cryptocurrencies as a percent of total cryptocurrency activity from 2017 to 2020 was less than 1%.<br/><br/>• For Bitcoin specifically, CipherTrace estimates that illicit activity makes up less than 0.5 percent of total transaction volume.<br/><br/>Taken together, this report suggests that the illicit use of cryptocurrencies in general and Bitcoin in particular, as a share of total market activity, is certainly not higher than it is in the traditional banking system and is most likely less.<br/><br/><br/><a

Joana Cotar MP @JoanaCotar spoke out in the Bundestag against the Digital Euro - whilst wearing a #Bitcoin  shirt.<br/><br/>Video and English transcript below.<br/><br/>&#34;Madam President, ladies and gentlemen. Nobody needs the digital euro. Not the banks, not the <br/>companies and certainly not the citizens. Anyone who wants to pay electronically is already doing so <br/>today. Those who want to preserve their privacy use cash. Anyone who has had enough of fiat money <br/>and is concerned with sound money has bitcoin in their wallet. <br/> <br/>Nobody needs the digital euro except the ECB and politicians who have something else in mind. Namely<br/>the total surveillance of citizens. I know, a lot is promised: data protection, everything secure. Nobody <br/>has any intention of spying on anyone. <br/> <br/>This is all as credible as the great promises: When the euro was introduced, no bailouts, three percent <br/>rule, ban monetary state financing. Today the ECB does nothing else. And the Maastricht Treaty is just <br/>paper. <br/> <br/>Today the ECB promises the highest data protection standards for the digital euro and tomorrow every <br/>transaction will be monitored and citizens will be completely transparent. In China, people are very <br/>effectively controlled with the digital central bank money, those who behave in accordance with the state have access to the money, those who don&#39;t are unfortunately out of luck. <br/> <br/>It&#39;s called Social scoring and with the digital euro and it&#39;s also possible here without any problems, just <br/>like state control. A flight booking - CO2 budget used up, donating to unapproved organizations is out of <br/>the question. Eating unvaccinated like in a pandemic - the money is not released, a digital nightmare. <br/>And that&#39;s why we don&#39;t need a binding vote on the how - we don&#39;t need the entire digital euro at all. <br/>And that&#39;s exactly what the German government needs to fight for. Thank you very much.&#34;<br/><br/>H/T
