These bitcoin prices feel like a good deal, but I'm not questioning my life decisions and buying doesn't quite make me feel sick to my stomach so I don't think we've bottomed yet.

Afterpay on Cash App Card is live 🚀 When we started Afterpay the bet was simple: pay-over-time should be transparent and available to everyone - not hidden in fine print. Today that's built into the Cash App Card. 3 in 5 pilot customers came back at least 5x. This is what the combination of Afterpay and Cash App was always meant to unlock.

1/21 There is this claim that comes up a lot that a soft fork will win, even if it starts out with a minority of the hashrate upon activation. Let’s dig into that for a bit: 🧵

Huge milestone for Cashu. After 3 years of work, we finally have unruggable mints. I'm testing the first on-chain Cashu mint running inside a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), where the mint keys are generated entirely within the enclave and remain unknown to the operator. That means the operator cannot inflate the ecash supply and cannot access the Bitcoin reserves backing it. We've moved from trusting operators to relying on hardware-enforced cryptographic guarantees. There's still work to do, but the path forward is clear. This is an incredibly exciting step toward trust-minimized ecash.

yesterday someone permanently burned 107.13 BTC, worth ~$8.25m, by sending them to the "null" burn address. can we figure out why? 🧵
