How I got started building on Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is down from all-time highs, but @Stacks Founder @Muneeb still thinks it will hit $1,000,000 by 2030 On today's @_TalkingTokens he explains his thesis, how bitcoin is maturing, whether it's still "digital gold," quantum computing risks, yield opps & more. Watch below:

One week live, $50m TVL Zest Protocol v2 is the fastest launch to reach that milestone on @Stacks

Builders build in the (crypto) winter ❄️🐻

@ZestProtocol 🚀🚀🚀

Zest Protocol Stacks market v2 is live🍊

@CallMeHunch Some work on stealth addresses for R&D roadmap after Bitcoin staking. Right now, Bitcoin staking is the focus!

@muneeb how do we make sBTC private?

Markets are puking, and morale is low here; this is when next-gen winners get built. I’m not going anywhere. Why? Because the job is not done. We’ll create the Bitcoin on-chain economy for a billion users. Stacks is focused on the new Bitcoin staking product. More details soon!

@KyleSamani @multicoin What a run! Time flies -- feels like yesterday when we were at the USV portfolio summit ha. You timed this well with Vitalik pretty much admitting that monolithic wins. Cheers to the next chapter 🚀

0/ A personal update I have decided to step back from @multicoin. It's a bittersweet moment for me because my time at Multicoin has been some of the most meaningful and rewarding of my life. That said, I am excited to take some time off and explore new areas of technology. After nearly a decade in crypto, I’m more confident than ever that crypto is going to fundamentally rewire the circuitry of finance. I believe the Clarity Act will unlock a tidal wave of new entrants and spur adoption unlike anything we’ve seen. I remain bullish on crypto, specifically Solana, and intend to continue making personal investments in the space and supporting Multicoin portfolio companies. Moreover, I will continue to serve on the board of @zama, and I will continue in my role as Chairman at Forward Industries (@FWDind). More on Forward in next tweet. It goes without saying that I also remain bullish on Multicoin. My partners @tushar_jain, Brian Smith, @johnrobertreed, @mattshap1, @xethalis, @SpencerApplebau, and @shayonsengupta are some of the best investors and operators in the world. I am excited for them to continue to drive the crypto ecosystem and Multicoin forward for many years to come. To all of our portfolio founders, LPs, and industry partners—thank you for the opportunity to work with you. For reference, here is the letter we shared with LPs today drive.google.com/file/d/1bsoabi…

@DeOrganizedBTC correct I think stacks leadership like @alexlmiller and @mcuevasm spent a lot of time to get community involved, hear and update to feedback, and the governance process was very clear and well run.

@muneeb The big difference here is that Stacks got widespread community support and consensus for the Stacks Labs restructure. This seems to have been more contested. Still normal and healthy, but perhaps not quite as well done.

The Zcash news of “core devs resigning” seems exaggerated. Looks like they just went into another eco entity. Growing ecosystems restructure as they evolve. Stacks did a major restructuring in 2025, a new treasury, new labs entity etc. This is normal & healthy when done right.

Happy 2026 to the Stacks family! As the tourists leave this space, the road is wide open for creating the largest on-chain economy for the best global money. STX is the rails. BTC is the money. We’re fired up with new treasury, clear roadmap, and growing devs 🚀

Stackers, Not only is USDC launching today, but I also want to give you a sneak peek into what @Stacks core contributors have been heads-down on as we look toward 2026. A 🧵on recent R&D, 2026, and self-custodial Bitcoin staking to more to keep Stacks ahead of the curve

Historic moment: stablecoins coming back to the mothership of Bitcoin! Stablecoins started on Bitcoin with Omni layer & Tether in 2014 (no longer supported). Now, Circle and Stacks bring a tier-1 stablecoin on the leading Bitcoin L2.

Circle's xReserve offering allows blockchains, protocols, apps and services to launch custom stablecoins backed by USDC, and compatible with Circle interoperability protocols for seamless cross-chain liquidity. Our 3rd such launch in as many weeks. Great to see this launch on one of Bitcoin's leading L2s @Stacks Congrats!

Broke the 600 BTC mark on @ZestProtocol 🍊 Appreciate everyone who has been part of this journey so far. Higher 🟧

@fractured_data @Stacks @Princeton @ycombinator @SECGov Thanks for putting this together! A few quick points: - My PhD thesis was 2017. - Ryan and I went through YC in 2014 but for a different idea/product -- Onename, an app built on Bitcoin. Stacks history really starts late 2017 with whitepaper release and the $50M token offering
