.@Coredao_Org's Satoshi Plus just got its first franchise chain. @_Zprotocol is building the interaction layer for the agentic internet. Private inference, economic rails, and end-to-end tooling. Satoshi Plus now covers the three most important parts of crypto: Bitcoin, privacy, and the agentic future.

Thanks @KevinWSHPod, was great discussing all the exciting stuff going on with @Coredao_Org, @_zprotocol, and the intersections of BTC, privacy, AI, and revenue generation.

DROPS E35: @Coredao_org - Bitcoin yield without giving up your Bitcoin @richrines is one of the initial contributors to Core DAO, the leading Bitcoin scaling solution. He's also a long-time Zcash holder and early backer of @_zprotocol , a new privacy chain built on Core's Satoshi Plus consensus. We talk Bitcoin yield, financial privacy, AI surveillance, and why the next big move in crypto might not be where most people are looking. We talk about: - How Core DAO lets you earn yield on Bitcoin by time-locking it - without ever giving up custody - Why borrowing against Bitcoin makes sense now - OG Bitcoiners rotating to Zcash - what "transition" actually means and whether it's bad for Bitcoin - Z Protocol as the DeFi layer for private money - Why AI has made financial surveillance trivial - and why that accelerates privacy adoption - How Agents are leaving full financial fingerprints - and why privacy needs to be default on at the chain level And much more...

Watch @richrines join @KevinWSHPod to discuss the Core roadmap, @_zprotocol's privacy x AI thesis, and why @sat_pay is the future of retail Bitcoin adoption.

Over 23,000 people have already joined the @sat_pay waitlist. The demand for a Bitcoin standard is real.

MR SHIFT 🦁@KevinWSHPod·
This week, I'm releasing a 1-hour DROPS episode with @richrines - initial contributor and project lead at @coredao_org Rich discovered Bitcoin in 2013, went deep on the whitepaper, and spent nearly a decade at Coinbase watching it go public before spending five years building Core - a chain now secured by 95% of Bitcoin's hash rate with half a billion transactions processed. Today he earns yield on 100% of his personal Bitcoin using Core. Without ever giving up custody. Because he designed it that way. We talk about: - How Bitcoin time-locking works and why it makes custody risk structurally impossible - What Core Alpha is and why every major US bank will offer Bitcoin yield within 3 to 5 years - What @sat_pay is and why it exists for the billions of people locked out of traditional banking - Why financial transparency in crypto goes from a feature to malpractice within 12 to 24 months - Why OG Bitcoiners including the Winklevoss twins are rotating to Zcash - How Core's power grid model generates royalties for CORE holders And much more... DROPS out this week!

Institutions don't want a protocol. They want a partner that builds custom yield infrastructure for their clients. That's what Core is doing. Staking architecture, yield engines, collateral models. All built directly with institutions. 🔶

Quantum resistance isn't optional. It's the baseline for serious Bitcoin infrastructure. Core is setting that baseline. 🔶

Core doesn't have a single revenue stream. It has a product portfolio. Each one generates fees. Each one performs CORE buybacks. 2.1 billion supply. Dozens of demand sources converging. 🔶

Not every Bitcoiner wants the same tradeoff. Some want self-custody first. Some want more upside. Core is giving Bitcoin holders both options. 🔶

Most Bitcoin products still make you choose. Hold it, or use it. @sat_pay, powered by Core, is built around the opposite: keep the BTC, keep the upside, keep moving.

The next wave of Bitcoin products will be built around a simple demand set. More yield. More capital efficiency. More ways to use BTC without letting go of it. That is the future Core is building for.

Bitcoin miners run the most expensive security operation on earth. Billions in hardware. Massive energy expenditure. ~90% of that infrastructure also secures Core. No other chain has ever co-opted this level of conviction. 🔶

Banks will offer Bitcoin yield. Custodians will power it. Asset managers will package it. ETF issuers will distribute it. None of them are going to build that infrastructure from scratch. They'll plug into Core. 🔶

Bitcoin yield strategies used to require seven figures and a fund manager. AMPs on Core will make them one-click and permissionless. Protocols will compete for your capital by acquiring CORE. You win either way. 🔶

A Bitcoin neobank needs to feel like Venmo. Enterprise integrations need real-time settlement. BTCFi needs instant execution. Sub-second finality makes all three possible. Coming to Core. ⚡️

There is so much demand for Bitcoin yield and Bitcoin collateral. Core will be tied to the products capturing that demand. Whether building them ourselves or partnering with teams, the Bitcoin Power Grid will sit at the center. ⚡️

This is the year when the products ship and the architecture proves itself. Product revenue --> CORE buybacks.
