Core Community

Everyone thought earning yield on Bitcoin meant wallets, DeFi, and complexity. @Coredao_Org just flipped the script by bringing yield bearing Bitcoin to London Stock Exchange with only a brokerage account. This is how Bitcoin merges with global finance.🔥

Satpay powered by Core built on bitcoin standard. Satpay set the standard for spending with crypto with easy. Spending anywhere with Satpay debit card. You don't need to use cash. With the Satpay card, you have access to anything you want by paying with Satpay. Saypay 👌🔥

Most people are not looking for more crypto complexity. They want a product that feels clean, works fast, and gives their Bitcoin more utility. That's the real bar.

🧵 The BTCFi Revolution: Core DAO is Winning 🔶 1/4 Unmatched Security 🛡️ @Coredao_Org leverages nearly 90% of Bitcoin’s hash power via Satoshi Plus consensus. It’s the only platform providing Bitcoin-grade security to the world of smart contracts.

I am sure by now a lot of people both within and outside Core ecosystem already know about @sat_pay We are waiting and anticipating for this great launch. An innovations that encourages the holding/utilization of BTC asset. You spend on your Bitcoin without having to sell. Brought to you by @mobilumofficial and powered by CORE. The transition from fiat to Blockchain is closer than we think, a lot of work still needs to be done but the journey has already started. @sat_pay will onboard millons of users directly or indirectly. Satpay will also support the automated Core buyback, the higher the volume of transaction the higher volume of core removed from market circulation, it's a win win situation. #Just_Use_Core🔶

For years, Bitcoin forced a choice: - Sit on it OR use it. Now you can do both on @Coredao_Org That’s a much bigger shift than it sounds. #BTCFI

This is the "Holy Grail" of Bitcoin utility. @Coredao_Org isn't just securing a network; it’s powering a system where your Bitcoin yield pays your real-world bills via @sat_pay. Spend today, keep your upside, and let the Bitcoin Power Grid handle the debt.

From "Holding" to "Earning." @Coredao_Org is turning idle Bitcoin into a productive asset. By bridging institutional yield with decentralization, the Bitcoin Everything Chain is setting the global #BTCfi standard. In 2026, real utility is the only signal that matters

Did you know that @sat_pay introduces a capital-efficient borrowing model that changes how users interact with their Bitcoin holdings. The Fact: Users can borrow stablecoins against their yield-bearing BTC or LSTs positions, spend via debit card, while the ongoing Bitcoin yield automatically helps repay the loan over time. How It Works: The protocol creates “self-repaying” loans where yield generated on @Coredao_Org continues accruing in the background, reducing or eliminating the need for manual repayments and allowing users to spend without selling their Bitcoin. The Impact: This makes holding #BTC maximally efficient, and users maintain full exposure to Bitcoin upside while accessing real-world spending power, turning idle sats into productive financial tools.

BTCfi isn’t a concept anymore — it’s being executed. Core is turning idle BTC into productive capital without breaking what makes Bitcoin powerful. Real yield. Real alignment. Real future.

The next category of Bitcoin products will not win on ideology alone. They will win on user experience. Most people do not care about complex systems or deep technical ideas. They care about how easy it is to use something in their daily life. If a product is simple, fast, and clear, people will choose it. This is where SatPay stands out. SatPay focuses on making Bitcoin useful in a way that feels natural. Instead of treating crypto like something you only store and watch, it turns it into something you can actually use. You can open the app, see your balance, and pay for things without going through many steps. It feels close to a normal banking app, but it is powered by Bitcoin. This removes the fear and confusion that many new users experience. A lot of crypto products fail because they are built for experts, not for everyday people. They have too many features, too many buttons, and too many risks if you make a mistake. SatPay takes a different approach. It keeps things simple. Spend, borrow, earn. That is what most users need. By focusing on these basic actions, it makes Bitcoin easier to understand and easier to trust. Another important part is speed. People expect payments to happen quickly. They do not want to wait or deal with delays. SatPay makes transactions feel smooth and direct.

1/5 🧵 Most people just hold Bitcoin. But what if you could actually use it in real life? That’s where @sat_pay changes everything.

#Coretoshis, just like that, tomorrow is “Feed Me About Core #EP4.” You don’t want to miss this one. We’ll be diving deep into the @Coredao_Org roadmap since 2023, including everything leading up to the 2026 roadmap. All the questions you’ve had in mind about the roadmap? We’re bringing them to the table, including key insights from the 2026 roadmap. Time: 4 PM UTC (Saturday) Set your reminder now. Don’t miss it.

The goal isn't to be Bitcoin rich. The goal is to live a Bitcoin standard. This is the missing piece. 🧩 Bitcoin is meant to be *used*, not just kept in a digital basement for 10 years. @sat_pay gets it. 🔥

Thread:🧵 What if paying with Bitcoin felt like sending a text? @sat_pay is quietly building that reality. 1/ Customer pays in BTC. No friction, no complexity. Just scan → send → done.

Managing BTC and crypto today still feels manual. Move funds here. Stake there. Track everything yourself. That approach is not scalable. Asset management protocols change that through: - Automating strategies - Optimizing yield and - Reducing the need to micromanage. Think about “systems running strategies for you.” As AMP tools get deployed on @Coredao_Org, the ecosystem experience will start to feel less like DeFi and more like real financial infrastructure. Buckle up! #BTCFI

Rich Rines on Bitcoin Yield, Privacy, and Crypto’s Next Chapter In this episode of DROPS, I sit down with @richrines to discuss the future of Bitcoin, why privacy is becoming one of crypto’s most urgent themes, and how @Coredao_Org is trying to turn dormant digital assets into yield-earning capital. Rich’s story stretches back to Bitcoin’s early years, through time at Coinbase, and into building infrastructure designed for a more mature phase of crypto. The conversation moves from ideology to product design, from self-custody to institutions, and from Bitcoin maximalism to a broader view of what financial freedom could mean in the years ahead. From Skeptic to Builder Rich first encountered Bitcoin in 2011 through a college professor. Like many people at the time, he dismissed it because digital value seemed absurd. Then Bitcoin came back into his orbit in 2013, and this time he did the homework. After reading the white paper, he says his “mind was totally blown.” He saw a system for peer-to-peer money, a sovereign-resistant store of value, and a financial network that didn’t need permission to operate. That second look changed the trajectory of his life. He has now spent more than a decade in the space, including time at Coinbase during its rise to becoming a public company. But while many builders were drawn toward newer ecosystems, Rich remained anchored to Bitcoin and the belief that its role in global finance was only beginning. What Core Is Really Building When asked to explain Core in one sentence, Rich keeps it simple: “Scaling Bitcoin.” Bitcoin’s strengths, in his view, come from restraint. It is intentionally slow, limited, and conservative. Those trade-offs reduce attack surfaces and preserve trust. But many holders want more than digital gold sitting idle. They want to earn from their Bitcoin. They want to borrow against it. They want to use it as productive collateral without selling it. And that is the opportunity Core is chasing. Rather than trying to replace Bitcoin, Core is attempting to extend its usefulness. The thesis is that trillions of dollars in dormant Bitcoin capital could eventually move into yield strategies, lending systems, and the broader decentralised finance ecosystem. Why Bitcoin Holders Want Yield Rich says the two dominant demands from Bitcoin holders today are straightforward: Safe yield and access to leverage. This reflects a maturing asset class. In earlier years, owning Bitcoin itself was the strategy. Today, large holders and institutions increasingly think like capital allocators. They ask: How can an asset be monetised without being sold? How can long-term conviction be maintained while unlocking liquidity? That is why borrowing against Bitcoin has become more attractive. Rather than liquidating a position, holders can keep upside exposure while accessing capital elsewhere. Of course, the risks are real. Crypto has already seen what happens when yield products depend on weak counterparties or reckless leverage. Rich openly references the failures of prior lending platforms and argues that the next generation must be built differently. The Self-Custody Problem One of crypto’s oldest principles is simple: not your keys, not your coins. That creates tension for yield products, because many historical models required users to hand over custody of their Bitcoin. Rich argues Core’s design tries to avoid that trade-off through Bitcoin time-locking. Instead of transferring ownership, users can lock coins for a set period, which helps in securing the network and receiving rewards. As he puts it: “We don’t want your Bitcoin.” The foundation is far more interested in a model where users keep as much control as possible. Why Privacy Is Back on the Agenda One of the most intellectually interesting parts of the conversation may be Rich’s views on privacy. He believes crypto’s early transparent systems increasingly look outdated. In his words, the industry may move from everything being public by default to everything being private by default within the next 12 to 24 months. Why? Because transparency at scale creates unintended consequences such as wallet surveillance, personal security risks, criminal targeting, corporate intelligence leaks and AI-powered financial monitoring. Rich argues that AI has made surveillance “trivial.” Tools that once required specialised teams can now be assembled quickly and cheaply or simply vibe-coded. Moreover, he contrasts Crypto with traditional banking, which is private by default. You would never expect every payment, transfer, and balance to be publicly visible. Yet crypto normalised exactly that. He sees privacy-focused systems like Zcash as a response to this imbalance. Why He’s Bullish on Zcash Rich describes Zcash as preserving some of Bitcoin’s original cypherpunk spirit: sovereignty, freedom, and privacy. Where Bitcoin has become institutionalised through ETFs and mainstream adoption, Zcash represents a more values-driven branch of the movement. He stops short of making sensational price predictions, but he is clear that the opportunity is meaningful. His core thesis is that the market for private money could be enormous, especially in a world where surveillance capabilities keep improving. That does not mean anti-government or anti-law. He points to selective disclosure models, such as viewing keys, where users can reveal information when they choose. The Bigger Lesson: Crypto Is Growing Up, Across the interview, Rich returns to one consistent idea: crypto is entering a more serious era. The next winners are no longer determined by tokens or narratives but through the problems they solve. This includes yield generation, custody architecture, privacy infrastructure, consumer-friendly interfaces, and institutional-grade trust systems. He also talks about neobanks, backend yield rails, and integrated products, which are gaining far more relevance than memes. Final Thoughts Rich Rines comes across as someone shaped by crypto’s first principles but focused on second-order execution. He still believes in freedom, self-sovereignty, and open systems. But he also understands that ideals alone are not enough. Products need to work, risks need to be managed, user interfaces must improve, and privacy must be guaranteed. If the first era of crypto was about proving digital assets could exist, the next may be about proving they can be useful, secure, and normal. And if Rich is right, Bitcoin earning yield and privacy becoming standard may both arrive sooner than many expect. 👉If you enjoyed reading the summary, head over to When Shift Happens on YouTube or your favorite podcast platform to access the full convo.

Three lanes. One destination. Bitcoin yield gets unlocked. Retail finally earns without selling. Privacy becomes non-negotiable. CORE is where it all connects. 🔶

Most ecosystems build products. @Coredao_Org is building a system. I didn’t see it at first. It just looked like separate pieces; staking, LSTs, payments. Then it clicked. They’re standardizing #BTCFi into modules. Plug one in. It works with the rest, yield flows, fees circulate, and value doesn’t leak it loops back into the system. They call it a Bitcoin “power grid” and it fits. Each module: SatPay, dual staking, institutional rails isn’t isolated. It’s connected. Activity in one part strengthens the whole, even routing value back into $CORE. I’ve learned this: real infrastructure isn’t a product. It’s coordination at scale. When everything starts working together, growth stops being linear and starts compounding.
