The original Bitcoin advocacy organization. We raise awareness of the benefits, uses and technology of #Bitcoin and support global #BTC adoption.

Decentralized
The Bitcoin Foundation isn’t a “foundation” in the Ripple/Solana/Ethereum sense. No premine. No treasury. No protocol control. Bitcoin thrives without us. We’re a donation-based org that once hosted early builders. Today our only role is sharing neutral info. Nothing more.

The proof-of-work consensus mechanism, which Bitcoin uses, is a revolutionary way to secure the network. By requiring miners to solve complex mathematical problems to validate transactions, Bitcoin creates an economic incentive structure that ensures honesty and reliability. While proof of work has been criticized for its energy consumption, it has proven to be one of the most secure methods of maintaining decentralized networks.

In shadows deep, when fear is strong, And whispers claim that all is wrong, We stand, unshaken, hands held tight, A beacon flickers in the night. The world may waver, markets fall, But #Bitcoin rises, through it all. A silent oath, a steadfast flame, Through storm and doubt, it stays the same. For in the dark, the bold are born, To hold their ground through every storm. Through days of gray, we keep our trust, In code, in chain, in cryptic dust. So let them speak of fleeting gain, We hold the keys through joy and pain. For when the dawn breaks clear and bright, The holders will have won the fight.

Bitcoin Magazine asked me about Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and I shared my primary concern: that the Fed’s proposed digital cash could be used as an instrument of control — similar to China’s oppressive social credit system — rather than as a tool of empowerment.

Ok - everyone - what’s different since the last #Bitcoin halving? 🥑 A Quick Review 🐇: 💎 Bitcoin ETFs 📈 All Time High before halving 🏦 Institutions holding Bitcoin 🌎 Countries using Bitcoin Last halving 4 years ago - feels like a lifetime ago… so much has changed and I expect that each of these will have a massive impact on price and adoption. Also huge is that there is a major protocol launching on Bitcoin at the halving which uses Bitcoin to allow users to create tokens. This has never happened on a halving before and it’s highly anticipated. Runes are coming and I think many Bitcoiners underestimate the potential of Runes to onboard new users, get people running nodes, and bring innovation and use cases from other chains to Bitcoin native (example: stablecoins). I expect that runes will far surpass ordinals and become the dominant protocol on Bitcoin. Soon most of the transactions and fees on Bitcoin will be for Runes.
