Unified BTC Market is officially LIVE! Big changes are happening at NiceHash! As of today, our EU and USA markets are fully consolidated behind a single technical infrastructure: the BTC Market. The Roadmap: TODAY: BTC Market is live. EARLY MAY: USDT Market launch! The upcoming USDT Market will allow buyers to use stablecoins for more predictable pricing and easier management. Check out the new layout on your dashboard!

3/3 The thing is->Bitcoin miners already have something AI-pivoting companies don't. They earn in BTC. If they denominate costs in BTC when they scale, they eliminate the currency mismatch killing margins industry-wide. Core Scientific needed CoreWeave to offset risk. A BTC-denominated miner has it built in.

2/3 The part nobody's talking about: CoreWeave isn't just a customer-they're absorbing the hardware risk. GPUs depreciate in 18 months. Core Scientific provides the power and the shells. CoreWeave eats the obsolescence curve. That's a luxury most miners pivoting to AI don't have.

1/3 A Bitcoin miner just locked in $10 BILLION in AI revenue. For 12 years. Core Scientific signed a 12-year deal with CoreWeave. 590 MW. $850M/yr. Take-or-pay. CoreWeave covers capex, power, and utilities. They also sold most of their BTC and are winding down mining entirely.🧵

@btsf_1 Some BTC Miners almost feel like they are in panic. Q1 is also ending?!

Selling BTC now smacks of panic or short sighted planning. Why not borrow against that treasury? Proceeds would have been a bit lower due to LTV but with properly structured long-term loan the risks of liquidation would be low and the upside exposure remain intact. Better outcome for shareholders.

@btsf_1 You just called Bitcoin lazy and wrote a whole book about it. Respect. You are not wrong though :D

"Bitcoin's market cap is too small to be a global reserve currency." This criticism reveals a misunderstanding of how money actually works. Bitcoin's $2-3T market cap can actually support a $30T economy.

ZCASH WENT FROM CYPHERPUNK TO INSTITUTIONAL IN 7 DAYS: $25M seed round. Foundry and Nicehash institutional mining pool. Coinbase custody. Everything is in place. Except credit. Lombard-style lending against ZEC holdings. That's the final piece. That's what I structure. DMs open. @jswihart @zooko @FoundryServices @cypherpunk @zodl_app $ZEC

Bitcoin just mined its 20 millionth coin. Only 1 million left. Forever. Hashrate is over 1 Zettahash. Difficulty jumped 15% in February. Miners are plugging in MORE machines for LESS reward. That's not hope. That's conviction priced in kilowatts.

Bitcoin miners earn 2.93% more on NiceHash right now! SHA256 ASICs connected to NiceHash are earning 2.93% MORE than the hashprice index. Buyers are actively bidding for your hashpower, driving up your profits. Plus, you get paid in Bitcoin every 4 hours. Point your Bitcoin ASICs to NiceHash and start earning what your hashrate is actually worth. nicehash.com/asic-mining #Bitcoin #MineBitcoin #SHA256 #NiceHash

It's here. "Beyond Digital Gold: Bitcoin and the Architecture of a New Monetary System" is available now. Paperback & electronic editions worldwide.

@MarkoTarman Cant wait for another "if i got paid in BTC, id actaully ROI moment".

NEW: @NiceHashMining donates 1 EH/s of Bitcoin hashrate in under 10 minutes to the 256 Foundation for its Hashathon. The 256 Foundation is a free, open source initiative focused on Bitcoin mining, energy, and education.

@kucharmartin_ As you use a hardware wallet like @Trezor for your Bitcoin, use hardware 2FA like @Yubico for your accounts. Maybe an upgrade idea for our Trezors - integrated hardware 2FA.

🚨Urgent Security Warning: Sophisticated Phishing Attack on Crypto Community‼️ A high-level hacking campaign is currently targeting Bitcoin and crypto users. I have been personally affected via a compromised Telegram account. The Attack Vector: - Attackers initiate a Zoom or Teams call - Uses Deep Fake AI video to look like your friend - They claim audio issues and instruct you to install a specific plugin to fix the sound. - This plugin provides full access to your system, leading to the theft of all possible bitcoin holdings & Telegram accounts, which are then used to propagate the attack further. Immediate Action Required: - Ignore all Telegram or social media invitations for Zoom/Teams calls. - Verify all communications. Treat all Telegram messages as untrusted, even from known contacts. Use Secure Alternatives: - Prioritize @signalapp or Jitsi. For browser-based calls, use Google Meet, which offers better sandboxing. Spread Awareness: - Inform your colleagues and network immediately. Do not join any unverified Zoom/Teams calls.

@hiveonofficial The static threshold trap has taken out more miners than any bear market. Curious about what percentage of operations you work with are still running single-threshold automations vs. dynamic systems. My sense is most smaller operations and hostings are still way behind on this.

Mining margins change in real time. When hashprice drops after a Bitcoin price slip, running fleets at full load can eat into margins. A $50 power price profitability threshold can look solid, but if BTC price slides 9% that day, returns may fall below break-even. 1/3

The IMF didn't set out to validate Bitcoin. They set out to help supervisors understand blockchain technology. But when you compare everything objectively? Bitcoin's Proof-of-Work stands alone. Not hype. Not tribalism. Just data. What's your read on this?

The IMF recently published a research paper comparing blockchain consensus mechanisms. The findings? Bitcoin's Proof-of-Work is the most secure, resilient, and operationally proven system in existence. Not my opinion. Their data. 🧵
