Not code alone, not code widely<br/>distributed, not even code widely used. Some measure of toleration in<br/>society for activities conducted in private is necessary for long<br/>term success. Not convenient, not easier, but necessary.&#34;<br/><br/> <img src="https://i.nostr.build/Rk41XxdFbn1fcVXt.png"> <br/><br/><a href="https://bitcoin-calendar.org/en/events/1996-03-14/eric-hughes-code-is-not-enough">https://bitcoin-calendar.org/en/events/1996-03-14/eric-hughes-code-is-not-enough</a> 2026-03-14T09:00:26Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs0xzwmhga430hnegz5fl2pe5ap7vf92rs9kgyv5z0qaj6a3z33q6gzyp0rhajfjp627sd6uw9q3mdxgfzawly6g945fnuc0y4ceyq2h8sqjcdxztq 🪦 Bitcoin Obituary<br/><br/>On March 14, 2014, Warren Buffett calls bitcoin a mirage. <br/><br/>1 BTC = $629 <br/><br/><video controls width="100%" class="max-h-[90vh] bg-neutral-300 dark:bg-zinc-700"><source src="https://pdl-iphone-cnbc-com.akamaized.net/VCPS/Y2014/M03D14/3000257232/6ED3-SB-0314-Buffett_L.mp4"></video><br/><br/><a href="https://bitcoin-calendar.org/en/events/2014-03-14/bitcoin-obituary">https://bitcoin-calendar.org/en/events/2014-03-14/bitcoin-obituary</a> 2026-03-14T08:30:23Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs9el4ff9syrq5rep3kt6t0evvdsnm86kh96heqkxw6s5e9vp0vkwszyp0rhajfjp627sd6uw9q3mdxgfzawly6g945fnuc0y4ceyq2h8sqjzdvusv In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqspd0hydxtfwyum8ug6md7wcectwk0gqrfr0d7p5yvwj6jhr4auvhqpr9mhxue69uhk2umsv4kxsmewva5hy6twduhx7un89u8lr0uu'>nevent1q…r0uu</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Thats true, but it is exactly Bitcoin that fixed ecash&#39;s problem. Now that ecash became seamlessly and instantly interchangeable with censorship resistant money independent from third parties, it got reincarnated. <br/><br/>You no longer need to trust a single mint -- you can become a client of dozens or even hundreds of mints, all accessible from a single wallet. <br/><br/>You can swap your bearer asset tokens between mints at the speed of light thanks to lightning network and &#34;cash them out&#34; directly into LN or onchain. <br/><br/>Diversifying mints means you never risk large sums of money while getting the benefits of unparalleled privacy Bitcoin lacks and enjoying cutting edge tech like ecash tokens being used instead of API tokens and embedding payments into emojis, images, gifs (and pretty much anything).<br/><br/>Ecash is by no means a replacement of Bitcoin, but it a fascinating addition and a booster to the best money humanity has witnessed. 2026-03-13T08:14:30Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsv48n0kxn86n5rgjfefu8w6d0pyy87rfykghgqkmq3qqlxupn86hgzyp0rhajfjp627sd6uw9q3mdxgfzawly6g945fnuc0y4ceyq2h8sqj3yudmk 🌐 Shopping on the Information Superhighway<br/><br/>On March 13, 1996, Europe&#39;s largest Internet provider EUnet integrates ECash.

Pay-to-Script-Hash operations were standardized in BIP 16. They allow transactions to be sent to a hash code (an address starting with 3) instead of a public key hash (addresses starting with 1). <br/><br/>To spend bitcoin sent according to P2SH, the recipient must provide a script matching the hash and script data. <br/><br/>One of the most popular use cases for P2SH is multisig schemes.

Instead of adjusting the supply to maintain a stable value, the supply is predetermined, and the value changes. As the number of users grows, the value of each coin increases. This can lead to a positive feedback loop: as the number of users increases, the value grows, which may attract more users wanting to benefit from the rising value.&#34;<br/><br/><a href="https://bitcoin-calendar.org/en/events/2010-02-18/satoshi-on-emission">https://bitcoin-calendar.org/en/events/2010-02-18/satoshi-on-emission</a> 2026-02-18T08:30:06Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs87ytc2mduqm3cjy60h0fc9mk8s89346shjpjs6njsrdt3k3njz3czyp0rhajfjp627sd6uw9q3mdxgfzawly6g945fnuc0y4ceyq2h8sqjdyyp02 📚 Bitcoin Privacy: Best Practices<br/><br/>On February 18, 2021, Gigi publishes the article &#34;Bitcoin Privacy: Best Practices&#34;.<br/><br/> <img src="https://21ideas.org/img/187.jpeg"> <br/><br/><a href="https://bitcoin-calendar.org/en/events/2021-02-18/bitcoin-privacy-best-pracitces">https://bitcoin-calendar.org/en/events/2021-02-18/bitcoin-privacy-best-pracitces</a> 2026-02-18T08:00:01Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsgewlev586ce470kr4lcrn3dcyx30z7dwjn5cuk0aj259rluyq7fszyp0rhajfjp627sd6uw9q3mdxgfzawly6g945fnuc0y4ceyq2h8sqjxjdxla 📚 No KYC<br/><br/>On February 17, 2020, BitcoinQnA publishes the article &#34;No KYC&#34;. <br/><br/> <img src="https://21ideas.org/img/188.jpeg"> <br/><br/><a href="https://bitcoin-calendar.org/en/events/2020-02-17/no-kyc">https://bitcoin-calendar.org/en/events/2020-02-17/no-kyc</a> 2026-02-17T08:00:09Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsqy5ymqxvs2pfu8cc92puvgsnydcqs7345wx4zjd3537ch35rgc8gzyp0rhajfjp627sd6uw9q3mdxgfzawly6g945fnuc0y4ceyq2h8sqjwtf4lt 🚗 First Bitcoins for Car Collateral<br/><br/>On February 16, 2012, the first announcement appeared on the bitcointalk forum offering to lend the author 1000 BTC at 16% per month. <br/><br/>The interest would amount to 160 BTC.

moreover, as it turned out, Hal did not know that he was the recipient of the first Bitcoin transaction. He considered this transaction as a test and planned to return the coins to Satoshi, but &#34;apparently did not do so.&#34; <br/><br/>It is also interesting that the first transaction was a payment to an IP address, rather than the later standard transaction to a public key. <br/><br/> <img src="https://i.nostr.build/aFjKARu4q0Zpm4Sw.png"> <br/><br/><a href="https://bitcoin-calendar.org/en/events/2011-01-16/hal-spent-the-coins-received-from-satoshi">https://bitcoin-calendar.org/en/events/2011-01-16/hal-spent-the-coins-received-from-satoshi</a> 2026-01-16T08:30:23Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsd5rz5us8yx9yt9acrgjmamwmzfddrwl2z0gjf5hjecx4aa89js2gzyp0rhajfjp627sd6uw9q3mdxgfzawly6g945fnuc0y4ceyq2h8sqjkjefcu 🗣️ Satoshi on Bitcoin Adoption<br/><br/>On January 16, 2009, Satoshi shared his thoughts on possible scenarios for Bitcoin adoption. <br/><br/><a href="https://bitcoin-calendar.org/en/events/2009-01-16/satoshi-on-bitcoin-adoption">https://bitcoin-calendar.org/en/events/2009-01-16/satoshi-on-bitcoin-adoption</a> 2026-01-16T05:14:26Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqswlzy895ypp2ustawgxjea0wxsqvnxxystyv0a572wgljvdv6sndczyp0rhajfjp627sd6uw9q3mdxgfzawly6g945fnuc0y4ceyq2h8sqjd24z95 📚 Lightning Wallets Comparison<br/><br/>On January 16, 2024, Tony published a Lightning wallets comparison guide. <br/><br/> <img src="https://21ideas.org/img/ln-wallets/cover.png"> <br/><br/><a href="https://bitcoin-calendar.org/en/events/2024-01-16/lightning-wallets-comparison">https://bitcoin-calendar.org/en/events/2024-01-16/lightning-wallets-comparison</a> 2026-01-16T04:12:41Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsydjr7l248aap3m2ghc9nv4p9fxz7qrgu0lq6guzg47gu6s5eah7qzyp0rhajfjp627sd6uw9q3mdxgfzawly6g945fnuc0y4ceyq2h8sqj78xqcp 💶 Launch of the Euro<br/><br/>January 1, 1999, marks the official launch of the Euro - a currency that today is official for two dozen European countries. <br/><br/>Despite high expectations of the positive impact from the introduction of the Euro, the currency behaved similarly to all its fiat counterparts and lost 90% of its value over 25 years of its existence.<br/><br/> <img src="https://i.nostr.build/1m7N6pyqiptVjQtO.jpg"> <br/><br/><a href="https://bitcoin-calendar.org/en/events/1999-01-01/launch-of-the-euro">https://bitcoin-calendar.org/en/events/1999-01-01/launch-of-the-euro</a> 2026-01-01T08:30:05Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsyqy86zxshvy8slj93fyp858h24yug3fpjavy7q7qjgc262cyg49gzyp0rhajfjp627sd6uw9q3mdxgfzawly6g945fnuc0y4ceyq2h8sqj4lj0r7 📚 Trusted Third Parties Are Security Holes<br/><br/>On January 1, 2001, Nick Szabo publishes the article &#34;Trusted Third Parties Are Security Holes.&#34; <br/><br/> <img src="https://21ideas.org/img/dts-601.png"> <br/><br/><a href="https://bitcoin-calendar.org/en/events/2001-01-01/trusted-third-parties-are-security-holes">https://bitcoin-calendar.org/en/events/2001-01-01/trusted-third-parties-are-security-holes</a> 2026-01-01T08:00:02Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsravefm4h4re7ckjwu5uz7jk7kz53g0dmnd2p27uqgmhwakcue8sczyp0rhajfjp627sd6uw9q3mdxgfzawly6g945fnuc0y4ceyq2h8sqj6gc6rd ⛏️ First Bitcoin Difficulty Adjustment<br/><br/>On December 30, 2009, the first increase in Bitcoin mining difficulty occurred at 06:11:04 GMT. <br/><br/> <img src="https://21ideas.org/img/mining/01.webp"> <br/><br/><a href="https://bitcoin-calendar.org/en/events/2009-12-30/first-bitcoin-difficulty-adjustment">https://bitcoin-calendar.org/en/events/2009-12-30/first-bitcoin-difficulty-adjustment</a> 2025-12-30T09:31:47Z
