who else had a transition from poker to bitcoin?
@in3rsha's shares how his web dev skills enabled that crossover to kickstart the educational bitcoin website, Learn Me A Bitcoin.
now it's more than just a static site, it's packed with hashing utilities, an explorer, and more

bitcoin L2s went from providing new application layers tied closely to the L1 to now realizing BitVM can potentially tie the L1 closest to the 2nd biggest honeypot in crypto, ethereum.
and you're already seeing this play out with the dozens of “Bitcoin Vault” plays, BTC-backed borrowing for evm assets, and the inheritance of evm toolsets.
the sad thing is, there was never any interoperability between the bitcoin L2s nor has there ever been any attempts. it's now becoming a race to see who can export BTC into evm land the fastest and with the least trust assumptions.
i'm hyper-postulating here, but I won’t be surprised if BitVM gets us to a place where we mentally default ethereum as the de facto bitcoin L2, coming full circle with it.

learnmeabitcoin .com is goated amongst educational bitcoin resources
it's got the best explainers and it's packed with utilities
was a pleasure chatting with @in3rsha diving into everything: from the genesis story to how Tachyons is his preferred CSS framework, and much more

learnmeabitcoin .com has been my unofficial Bitcoin docs for years
Dropping a deep dive with the creator behind that website this week.
You'll learn:
- What got him started building the site
- The full stack web architecture used
- What went into the redesign of the website

happy bitcoin pizza day 🍕
throwback to this cheesy piece i wrote for BM
nothing techy, nothing pumpy, straight up culture

i love a good code breakdown via diagrams
for something as complex like swapping btc-denominated assets on bitcoin layers, visualizing the flow is the proper warmup before diving into the code
it also helps when you have the developer to talk you through it

if u dug into the Bitcoin Staking whitepaper, you'll stumble upon the mechanics of how the L1 commitment is locked.
choosing a P2WSH script wasn't arbitrary, it was intentional with UX in mind. couldn't they have used P2SH or P2TR?
well there's benefits to sticking with P2WSH:
- it's battle tested and almost every wallet supports `v0` segwit
- simpler legacy semantics when it comes to the "classic" bitcoin script rules
- depending on how the script generation will be handled, the holder can know for sure that only 1 script is locked to their UTXO
- P2TR might boast it's privacy feature but it can also mask other hidden scripts and an unwanted direct key path spend
- P2SH adds complexity and fee inefficiencies
stay tuned for a possible L1 locking script deep dive episode on my new video series: Peeling Bitcoin

Hold BTC. Earn BTC. That's what Bitcoiners want.
Today we're publishing the Bitcoin Staking whitepaper.
Self-custodial. BTC-denominated yield.
Here's what it is and why it matters 🧵

What makes swapping bitcoin through @JingSwap_v2 a better option than other swap providers?
And technically how is this advantage architected via Clarity smart contracts on @Stacks?
Check out the full deep dive in the link below.

Peeling Bitcoin is a developer-focused series that explores the layered complexity of the Bitcoin ecosystem. Like peeling an orange, each episode strips back another layer of abstraction to reveal how Bitcoin systems actually work beneath the surface.

Had the pleasure of doing a code walkthrough on how Pyth oracles are properly integrated into Bitcoin swaps on @JingSwap_v2
@RaphaStacks has been a prolific builder in the @StacksDevs community for years. He's got tons of lessons learned for developers in this one.

amongst the other projects that are shipping "bitcoin vaults" is a commonality of the "L1 locking" component entailing a user to send their btc to a "shared" P2TR utxo.
what is the trust component behind the generation of the tapscripts behind this?
this deserves a deep dive

it's been interesting seeing this quiet battle of "btc locking" on the L1, ironically amongst the bitcoin L2s
and also ironically how each of them don't even interop with one another but rather some are positioning the endgame to be bridging the L1 to the existing EVMs instead

if you're in devrel, now is the greatest time to maximize what makes you uniquely human.
- spend more time diving into your devs' projects
- build a stronger rapport with your devs
- shoutout a neat hack in their codebase
- send them a personal check-in message
- hop on a video call with them
the hard part is no longer telling devs what your thing does, it's showing a deeper appreciation and respect for the thing they built.

Recently i've been thinking about what would some form of unifying interface would look like for the Bitcoin L2 ecosystem.
Not another layer or network, but rather some "intention" engine interface an agent can use to infer how a bitcoin payment should be constructed and broadcasted.
btc (L1), sbtc (Stacks), tbtc (BOB), rbtc (Rootstock), cbtc (Citrea), and etc...they're all forms of btc and should just be treated respectfully as btc.
For an example scenario, a human prompts their agent to send a bitcoin payment to a recipient. Based on the context of what's mentioned in the transaction request prompt, the agent will make a well reasoned inference on which bitcoin flavor to send to the recipient. The human doesn't need to know the specific details since it's all just bitcoin. Any wallet/app implementing this should just read it all as bitcoin.
That's the general gist of what I put together in this PoC i'm calling BARD — Bitcoin Agnostic Routing & Dispatch.
The Bitcoin L2 ecosystem is large yet fragmented. BARD acts as a unifying interface between them all.
I'm also submitting this to the @OpenWallet hackathon since it relies on @toony1908's open PR to add Stacks support to OWS.

5/ To reiterate, this is all just a PoC and a janky MVP atm. I'm hoping to flesh this out more in the coming weeks with community feedback.
Bitcoin's Layer 2 landscape is growing fast and getting more complex. An agent or application that wants to "send bitcoin" to a user shouldn't need to know which network the recipient is on. It should all just be treated as bitcoin 🟧
