1/ NEW WHITEPAPER: BitSNARK & Grail—Bitcoin Rails for Unlimited Smart Contracts and Scalability. This is a solution to Bitcoin's trilemma of scale, computational expressivity, and decentralization.
Introducing "BitSNARK & Grail" – a game-changing framework for scaling Bitcoin and enabling unlimited smart contract functionality on the world's leading Blockchain. Link to the whitepaper below.

Bitcoin's biggest proponents - including Michael Saylor - were skeptics in a time long ago. That includes myself w/ regards to Cardano - and I was wrong. 🔵🤝🟠. As I've said before: I am a Bitcoin maxi. But over the past year, I've been amazed learning about the robustness of

Of all the things That happened this cycle, Solana’s vote to confiscate a users funds is BY FAR the most egregious. It’s worse even then the ETH DAO confiscation. It’s the clearest demonstration yet that PoS is not a consensus mechanism.

Weeks ago, we were talking about Cardano plugging into "1.3 trillion" of Bitcoin liquidity. Now we've had to revise that number to "$1.7 trillion." . It's not just the money that's in Bitcoin, but the money that's on its way over. You're not bullish enough.

Bitcoiners don't know what it's like yet to borrow against their BTC without trusting middlemen. This is a huge opportunity for Cardano🔵. With BOS, the community can warp back in time and sell DeFi to the Bitcoin masses like they'd just discovered fire. 🔥

Ethereum has $51 billion in DeFi TVL, plus $143 billion in ETH locked in its staking contract. BTC is over 4X the size of ETH and rising. It will soon unlock real DeFi. Cardano is Bitcoin's first L1 DeFi layer. Current TVL = $231 million. Do the math. 🔵🧠💰

Cardano is the largest smart contract UTXO chain. 🔵. Bitcoin is THE largest chain - period. It also uses UTXO, but has no smart contracts. 🟠. Why are they a good fit? . I explain here, through the tale of the sock chain! 🧦

I hate bridges. They're behind the worst hacks in the history of DeFi. I wouldn't trust them with my own money. I'm sure many institutions feel the same way. BOS + Cardano will give institutions the confidence to move BTC between chains for the first time.

Forget the Banana Zone. Cardano has entered the "Bamboo Zone."🔵🐼🪈. A giant, vertical, green bar bursting from the soil to the sky in the blink of an eye. Nature's god candle. It appeared dead and buried, but actually spent years preparing its roots. BOS was its signal.🍊
The Chinese bamboo tree takes five years to grow, during which it must be watered and fertilized consistently. In the first four, it does not grow at all. In the fifth, it grows ninety feet tall - within six weeks. Welcome to your BOS era, Cardano. 🔵🏅.

BOS could eradicate one-coin maximalism. With Bitcoin and Cardano integrated, a bet on BTC is no longer a bet against ADA, and vice versa. Therefore, people will feel more comfortable allocating to both. They serve separate but complementary roles. #UTXBros 🟠🤝🔵
Since 2022, I am a #UTXO-portfolio believer. I allocate 50% to #BTC and 50% to #ADA via DCA. Not for price performance on 6 months. Not with the idea of optimizing risk-adjusted returns. Not with a modern portfolio theory in mind. Just to sleep at night. To know that my

Cardano's winning bet is to adopt this marketing heading into 2025. BOS doesn't just plug you into Bitcoin's enormous capital base, but also into its epic brand. Be the blue ocean that complements the rising orange sun. Be Bitcoin's best friend. 🔵🤝🟠.
BREAKING: Charles Hoskinson says "I'm hiring a dedicated person to make #Cardano the dominant platform for Bitcoin DeFi. We're best in class. I want that end-to-end experience, so people just click a button to use Bitcoin DeFi, powered by $ADA. That'll bring a lot of volume."

I have been accumulating BTC for 13 years. Never touched any of it. I’m building BOS because I’m itching to use my BTC. There are many of us. I’m building for me.
In all honesty, . I will be surprised if BTCos sees Bitcoiners use their Bitcoin to any meaningful degree. This doesn’t mean that it shouldn’t happen and won’t be a success. I just personally think any liquidity on Bitcoin that wanted to actually use BTC bought into ADA or.

Fred, Cardano is about to provide Bitcoin with the exact BTC lending services that you're so excited about. Perhaps this is why more of your followers are welcoming to Cardano than you anticipated. BOS is making it so that the altcoins are on our team now.
Lending against Bitcoin is the future of the entire financial system. (Until we hit hyperbitcoinization).

Bitcoin builders are invalidating all of these points as we speak. - Cardano + L2s + others will spawn world's largest DeFi economy on Bitcoin.- Rollups via BOS will create seismic blockspace demand, funding security.- Babylon is ushering in BTC staking. No more FUD.
I believe ETH will prove a better sound money vs BTC over the long run. ETH is better collateral for the DeFi & grows with the Ethereum economy. ETH issuance & security budget are more sustainable. ETH is a digital gold. with yield.

Bitcoin DeFi on Cardano through BOS will take one of two general forms. The first involves a new BTC token on Cardano. 🟠. The second, special form will not - but will take longer to get in place. Either way - this creates demand for ADA. 🔵

The game has fundamentally changed. Can you complement Bitcoin, or are you competing with it?. Cardano seeks to complement. It has the UTXO model. It is possibly the best positioned.🔵. The worst positioned, probably, is Ethereum. Was it rude to say this at an ETH conference?

Bitcoiners calling alts scams, and white-knighting as the protectors of gamblers from themselves, was a strategic mistake. Bitcoin is not to prevent casinos. It is to prevent monetary corruption. The problem with alts is not that they are scams. It’s that they are corruptible.
