My good friend and our Head of Product at Zaprite @willcole will be speaking "today" in Prague! Bitcoin as Everyday Money. We've been working on something special over the past several months. If you're at @BTCPrague, check it out!

1/ Bark is now a Lightning backend option in Alby Hub.
@getAlby built the integration on the Bark SDK in record time, just days after our mainnet launch. You can now enable Lightning payments in your hub with no Lightning node, channels, or liquidity to manage.

1/ Zaprite now has a canonical entry point for AI agents:
app.zaprite.com/llms.txt
This gives agents a direct path into Zaprite’s bitcoin payment surface instead of forcing them to discover it through human-oriented checkout UX.

Zaprite's Checkouts are now fully agentic-friendly.
LLM agents can request a payment quote, pay the returned wallet URI, and then check the Order status.

It's been a long time coming, but we're finally live. On mainnet. Real bitcoin.
This is absolutely the easiest way to add self-custodial bitcoin payments to your app, with support for all the networks that matter.
SECOND IS NOW ON MAINNET.
Bark, our implementation of the Ark protocol, is available for anyone to start making bitcoin payments.
Included in the launch are our mainnet Ark server, the Bark SDK, and multiple wallets to try from day one.

4/ This is the direction commerce is moving:
- agents discover payment intent
- users authorize wallet access
- payments execute through user-controlled wallets
- merchants get paid through Zaprite
Less browser automation. Less tool use. Lower token cost. Faster settlement. More reliable agentic commerce.

Agentic commerce is here 🤖
Zaprite checkouts now expose an LLM-readable payment flow:
1. parse the orderId path param from any Zaprite checkout URL, e.g. the "od_AbC123xyx" from pay.zaprite.com/order/od_AbC…
2. `POST /create-quote`
3. receive `paymentUrl` `btcAmount`
4. pay via Lightning or Bitcoin wallet
5. poll `/order-status`
Payments as an API primitive.

Bitcoin is volatile for a reason. The path to adopting bitcoin is not a security but instead understanding why it stores value. You will spend 40,000 hours of your life trying to make money. It's worthwhile to spend 100 hours figuring out how to keep it.

Bullish signal for bitcoin

Strategy (Micro) sells Bitcoin, $2.5 million. May have to reevaluate pro-bitcoin stance given how much Strategy has propped it up. Key trampoline for years. Some say manipulation. I think that's too strong

I mean, it's a good question. Why hasn't human civilization naturally developed into a brutal aristocracy of the highly moral and high-IQ? Why don't we have a global "130 IQ high-trust Anglo" paradise already?
What mysterious force obviously overcomes and beats intelligence?
If you're so damn smart why don't you have your own civilization
