What Happens When Bitcoin Nodes Diverge?
Bitcoin’s consensus mechanism works because, most of the time, everyone agrees on the rules. Nodes collect transactions in the mempool, miners compile blocks, submit them, nodes verify them, the chain extends, and miners get a reward for their efforts and energy. Everyone is happy! When a proposal like BIP 110 — the “Reduced Data Temporary […]

Iran’s Rial Collapse and Why Bitcoin Is the Only Lifeboat
On January 12, 2026, the Iranian Rial crossed a threshold that marked it as one of the world’s least valuable currencies: one million rials to a single US dollar. For context, in 2015—just a decade earlier—the Rial traded at 32,000 to the dollar. The currency had lost 97% of its value, and the acceleration was […]

What Are Full Block Ordinals?
Ordinals have given the Bitcoin community much to think about. Some say they make Bitcoin fun, and others say they’re spam. Personally, I don’t need my money to be fun; I need it to be safe, secure, and reliable. But that’s just one plebs opinion. Ordinals have started their own movement, with businesses, applications, and […]

What Is MicroStrategy Orange DID?
MicroStrategy, known for its bullish stance on Bitcoin, recently unveiled a new project called MicroStrategy Orange. This isn’t about fruit (although the name is catchy), but rather an orange washing of the Decentralised Identity (DID) play, with MSTR looking to build a platform on the Bitcoin blockchain instead of launching a side-chain or using a side-chain, the data for […]

Fair Mints: The Mexican Standoff
Altcoins have often painted themselves with a coat of decentralisation, claiming to democratise finance. It’s a “free market bro”. Anyone can create their own currency and participate in a revolution against traditional financial institutions. A movement that started with Bitcoin has seen a faction split off and devolve into a paragon of Ponzis, playing out […]

EU To Put Chokehold On Bitcoin Wallets
Just when you thought Bitcoin was on the up, that the suits would finally give in with the rollout of the US spot ETF, and the price would be free to melt faces, the FUD makes a return, this time from the European Union (EU). The EU has taken a significant step towards regulating the Bitcoin market, […]

What Is A Bitcoin Spot ETF?
Bitcoin has come a long way since the days of P2P trades via forums and, later, the first “formal” exchange platform, Mt. Gox, in 2010. As the demand for Bitcoin grew globally, attracting hundreds of millions to the asset and network, on-ramps sprung up to meet this demand. Centralised exchanges sprung up and became the go-to […]

What Are ARC-20 Tokens?
As Bitcoin begins its approach towards the next halving and the possible price appreciation due to the supply shock, there have always been crazes that piggyback off of it and try to ride the wave. Remember ICOs in 2017? Or DEFI in 2021? Those fleeting fads that promised the world but fizzled faster than a […]
