    • How credible are the allegations about Blockstream’s mining business? October 14, 2026
      Has anyone looked into natinfosec’s articles about Blockstream? They allege that its cloud mining business operates as a Ponzi scheme and that investors have been misled. https://natinfosec.substack.com/p/adam-backs-blockstream-borrows-billions https://natinfosec.substack.com/p/adam-back-lies-greg-maxwell-chris https://natinfosec.substack.com/p/fraud-adam-back-samson-mow-chris Has Blockstream responded, or are there independent analyses that substantiate or rebut these claims? If Blockstream were to become insolvent, what would the practical consequences be […]

    • What makes Bitcoin halving so interesting? October 13, 2026
      Every four years or so, Bitcoin cuts the block reward miners receive in half. I find it fascinating that this rule is built into Bitcoin code rather than decided by a central authority. submitted by /u/Xosoltani [link] [comments]

      Square Credit Card holders will soon be able to earn 3% back in Bitcoin on their purchases. That is the latest move from Block Inc., the parent company of Square, which keeps finding new places to put Bitcoin. submitted by /u/TheresNoSecondBest [link] [comments]
    • Half of the top 20 quantum-exposed bitcoin addresses belong to exchanges and custodians, holding ~1.06M BTC October 13, 2026
      We scan the whole UTXO set weekly and match every coin against public keys that are already visible on-chain, either from an earlier spend or by design (old pay-to-pubkey and Taproot outputs). The biggest exposed balances aren’t lost Satoshi coins. They’re custodial cold wallets that have reused the same address for years. Binance’s largest has […]

      BUT If anyone could take a punt I’d be more than grateful. I have around 0.05 BTC and investing £100 a month. With price increases, when could I expect to reach 0.1? submitted by /u/Better-Sir-8554 [link] [comments]
    • I built a free site where people can compare photos and weights of their hardware wallets to spot tampered units. Looking for feedback October 13, 2026
      After the reports of tampered devices with extra hardware hidden inside, I wanted a simple way for people to check whether their wallet matches a known-good one. So I built tampercheck.org. How it works: You post photos of your device (front, back, seams, ports, the box, and the board if you’ve opened it), plus its […]

    • AI won’t take Bitcoin from $2T to $10T. The money printer will. October 13, 2026
      We tend to overestimate what is possible in the short term and underestimate what is possible in the long term. AI/SI has a lot to figure out in the near term. That adoption will come, but extreme indebtedness is eating the West alive today. That’s what drives Bitcoin higher first submitted by /u/JackMallersShow [link] [comments]

      Ledger wallets sold through a Southeast Asian reseller were reportedly tampered with before reaching buyers. Hidden implants, an estimated $72–93M drained. And the usual authenticity check can still pass on a compromised device. Reports of suspicious devices have also surfaced in Europe, but Ledger hasn’t confirmed them yet. It’s somewhat similar to a Trojan horse, […]
    • Has Bitcoin changed the way you see life, too? I feel like I've somehow lost my joy for life. October 13, 2026
      Hey everyone, I've been deeply involved with Bitcoin for about four years now. During that time, I've watched countless videos, read books, and immersed myself more and more in the subject. Of course, I know that nobody can predict the future and that Bitcoin doesn't guarantee anything either. Nevertheless, I've had the feeling that my […]

      Yes I know, I know, nobody knows. And I know that. Nobody has a crystal ball. But In your opinion. A range. Where do you think it’ll be? Please don’t kill me for the question, I know it’s been asked before, prob a million times, but sentiment changes. I’m just curious what the sentiment and […]

5 Reasons You Should Use PowerShell Instead of Batch Scripting

Most users have never heard of PowerShell, let alone touched it and tried it out. This is perhaps because of the name, which sounds like something only used by hardcore IT geeks. Or perhaps because the benefits of PowerShell are unclear. Maybe it’s because of the initial learning curve. Truth is, yes, most casual computer… read more »

3 Reasons Why the Debt Snowball Beats the Debt Avalanche

The consumer debt spiral is the biggest reason why modern Americans are so unhappy. As of May 2016, the average household had about $ 5,700 in credit card debt, but if you look only at balance-carrying households, the average spikes up to $ 16,000. That’s jaw-droppingly insane. Now throw in car loans (average $ 30,000… read more »

7 Reasons Why You Should (and Shouldn’t) Dual Boot Linux

One of the most essential components of a computer is its operating system. The almighty OS is the lifeblood of a rig, determining software compatibility, and interacting with both hardware and software. For many, it’s either Linux vs. Windows or Linux vs. Mac. Enter dual booting. Essentially, this is having two operating systems available from boot…. read more »

5 Reasons You Should Use iWork Instead of Microsoft Office
