Well done Hackers!!!! Truly impressive work this year. Your prizes are well-deserved #MITBitcoinExpo

“Should you desire a career in Bitcoin open-source, it’s absolutely a viable thing to do.” Wondering how the people building on Bitcoin do it? And how they got into it in the first place? Check out this chat with Bitcoin dev @satsie talking about her career stream: blockchain—>Bitcoin company—>Bitcoin open-source Another insightful interview from @niftynei of @btcinsider__ at the #MITBitcoinExpo

Reflecting on the @MITBitcoinClub Expo 2026. Theme was "Freedom for All." The panel that stuck with me most was @Ethan_Heilman @apruden08 @MYShalaginov and @ClaraShik on defending Bitcoin from quantum through post-quantum signatures. It got me thinking about what this means for DeFi. Most people assume current signature schemes are permanent. But if you're building anything that holds user funds or executes trades, post-quantum migration paths need to be part of the architecture conversation now. @Austin_Federa argued that none of the upper-layer stuff matters if the physical infrastructure isn't purpose-built. @MurielMedard mentioned how post-quantum research is likely to be a highly significant area for the industry in the coming years. The Bitcoin Core panel with @satsie @achow101 @darosior furszy, Cory Fields, and Sjors Provoost gave some insight on the responsibilities in maintaining the network. And @HesterPeirce highlighted how regulators need to reframe the dialogue around privacy in crypto. Two whole days of talks alongside a 36-hour hackathon, a DCI workshop, and a lot of hallway conversations with undergrads, professors, researchers, and industry experts.

Highly relevant to this post about running a full validating node in a phone … @tdryja gave a talk about utreexo and shrinking initial bloc download in Saturday at the #MITBitcoinExpo youtube.com/live/QoIqsKgqfHg… Scrub right to the 7hr mark for Tadge’s presentation #bitcoin

Had a wonderful time at the @MITBitcoinClub over the weekend discussing the future of scaling infra with @Austin_Federa .

The MIT Bitcoin Expo has officially started at one of the world’s most legendary technology and universities. Students learn how Bitcoin can be used to secure individual empowerment and economic sovereignty.

. @nadav_kohen presenting on Nested Signatures right now at @MITBitcoinClub: What if a public key was actually the aggregation of multiple public keys aggregated from multiple public keys, aggregated from multiple public keys…

People who care about Bitcoin often ask “What can I do?” @frankcorva ‘s last slide is a good place to start #MITBitcoinExpo
