This is a really good one, Rob Hamilton is the undisputed current CEO of Bitcoin, and we couldn't have asked for a better incumbent.
AI IS BREAKING BITCOIN
Rob Hamilton spent the last six weeks on the front line of the AI War, this is his story.
Casey @Rodarmor and Erin Redwing @realizingerin sit down with @Rob1Ham (CEO of @AnchorWatch and Bitcoin) to talk about AI tearing through the Bitcoin ecosystem - from the COLDCARD bug and Red Team to Chinese vs. American models and what comes next for software security.
Rob’s conclusion: Bitcoin is getting hit first, but AI is coming for everyone.

A friend of mine accidentally proved the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis by learning Toki Pona.
She found that learning such a simple language actually negatively impacted her ability to form complex thoughts.
Of course, she didn't put it that way, she said "simple language bad think hard word hard speak hard no learn simple language mind death bad bad bad no good no good bad".

Co-working is overpowered. If you have stuff you want to do that you're not doing, find a friend who also has work to do and co-work on a video call or in person.
You can do pomodoros, or not, as you prefer. The real trick is just making it social. Much more motivating and fun!

Truly rooting for the Paul Sztorc eCash Bitcoin fork to absolutely trounce Luke Cash Jr. in the new season of the Fork Wars.
Bitcoin’s Next Civil War Is Already Here
Casey @Rodarmor and Erin Redwing @realizingerin dive deep into Paul Sztorc’s eCash Bitcoin fork and the return of the Bitcoin fork wars. The fork implements Drivechain through BIP 300 and BIP 301, allowing Bitcoin to support side chains for privacy, prediction markets, decentralized exchanges, assets, DNS, post-quantum cryptography, and more — without adding those features directly to Bitcoin Core.
We break down how hashrate escrow and blind merge mining actually work, the seven proposed Drivechain side chains, the controversial redistribution of 500,000 of Satoshi’s coins, and the central question hanging over the entire proposal: can Bitcoin miners actually be trusted to make this work?

Agents are incredibly good at creating filepack packages. A very nice surprise and boon for adoption.

This also affects ord, but only for the command line `ord verify` command, and only when used with `--transaction`.
If you use `ord verify`, please upgrade to 0.29.0, released last week:
github.com/ordinals/ord/rele…
Critical vulnerability in the bip322 Rust crate: BIP-322 proofs for P2WPKH and
P2SH-P2WPKH addresses could be forged with any attacker key. Full
address-ownership bypass. Fixed in 0.0.11, affected versions yanked. If you
verify Bitcoin address ownership, please upgrade now.

There were so many signs, but we never compared notes and put everything together…
The COLDCARD Hack Was Bitcoin’s 9/11
The COLDCARD exploit was an emperor-has-no-clothes moment for Bitcoin. In this episode of the Hell Money Podcast, Casey @Rodarmor and Erin Redwing @realizingerin break down what happened, how AI may have changed the balance between attackers and defenders, and what the fallout exposed about Bitcoin security and culture.
“Don’t trust, verify” is one of Bitcoin’s core principles — but over time, heuristics like Bitcoin-only, open source, self-custody, and trusted developers became ways of deciding what to trust instead of actually verifying. So what happens when those heuristics fail?
