BTC For Palestine is the perfect example of an endeavor powered by Bitcoin that strikes right to the heart of what Bitcoin is supposed to be all about. Money functioning without trusted intermediaries. The entire point of Bitcoin was to give people a way to transact with their money that no one could disrupt, insert themselves into the middle of, or rent seek off of. That is the exact situation Gazans find themselves in for the last year. Completely cut off from the rest of the world, incapable of making any form of payment that isn’t using cash without depending…

Elon Musk is coming for one of Washington’s biggest targets: the Internal Revenue Service. Joined by entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, the eccentric billionaire plans to gut the agency’s budget and reimagine how Americans handle taxes. The duo’s ambitions don’t stop there. They’re orchestrating a federal spending cut of $2 trillion, tackling agencies they consider bloated or outdated via their Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E). “The IRS is a mess,” ELon has said, pointing to inefficiency and scandals that have plagued the agency for years. He’s proposing a free tax-filing app, suggesting an audit, and calling for massive layoffs to reduce what…

My big concern with this moment is that it says everything about the Democrats and the lip service they are playing to the Bitcoin industry. It’s undeniable that Bitcoin has turned into a partisan issue in this…

The integration reportedly opens a new destination on the Hedera network for EVM-based liquidity, connecting the ecosystem to more liquidity sources. It builds on previous infrastructure investments with providers…
