We had few dozens of clients trying the Direct to Wallet feature since we launched it this week.
There feedback has been unequivocal 👇
This is the easiest and most practical way to convert pesos to Bitcoin.
We explain how it works in this article 👇

@ApoStructura @StatisticUrban Might as well be 5 homes over 50 years. Would have same impact.

@StatisticUrban 500 homes for 14,000,000 people. How is he even talking about it, this is trivial

Oh lord. UK housing policy makes America look like a building paradise.
Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan@MayorofLondon
Londoners urgently need new affordable homes. Our partnership with Peabody will deliver 500 new homes across the capital by 2032, helping families across London access safe, secure and affordable places to live. housingtoday.co.uk/news/khan-appr…

@MostroP2P @visionario_btc @RoboSats @lnp2pBot @hodlhodl @peachbitcoin Si, es algo que había visto.
Me pregunta es que tan bueno funciona el UX entonces. Estás acostumbrado a Mostró, usas un coordinado malo en Robosats y pierdes tu dinero por estafa del coordinador.

Justo para eso se creó a partir de mostro el nip69 para poder crear un pool de órdenes P2P
Algunos exchanges además de Mostro ya lo usan como @lnp2pBot Robosats, @hodlhodl @peachbitcoin
Puedes ver en p2p.band
En mostro.community puedes ver los Mostros que existen

¿Alguien trabajando en una comunidad en México de @MostroP2P?

@visionario_btc @MostroP2P @RoboSats Sí entiendo, pero con redes descentralizadas, usualmente es mejor expandir una sola red.
Esto crea una red desconectada. Ahora un postor tiene que revisar ambas.
Las redes sociales y Bitcoin sufren del mismo efecto de red. Por eso Google+ y 99% de criptos fallan.

His instincts are exactly right: If cities aren't building, no amount of money will solve the problem. Funding priority should be tied to outcomes.

“I am not asking — I am begging.” Big city California mayors were in Sacramento today urging Gov. @GavinNewsom and lawmakers to approve $1 billion for homelessness programs (HHAP)—warning shelters could close without it. Newsom’s budget proposes $500 million. He suggested he’s holding there for now, citing frustration with cities like LA not complying with SB 79, the state law requiring more high-density housing near transit. "You don't build, we're not going to fund," Newsom said. Watch below:

@BankingMexico @M4nuelGuev4r4 Es una tontada tener que pagar asi.
Muchos tienen que ir a surcusal de un banco tradicional y hacer una filota solo para cumplir.
Cuando ya tienen el dinero en un banco mexicano, declaracion listo a pagar, pero se hacen rogar para pagarles.
Español
Ya es posible hacer pagos de servicios desde la app de @Revolut. Tenemos desde convenios, pagos a varios gobiernos de estado, telefonía , agua, colegios… 10/10 para Revolut.
Español
@BankingMexico @Revolut @CLSkyguy @GiulioContreras @SupportLTE @german_sntg @AureoBitcoin Dicen que no le tengas miedo al éxito.
Pagos de servicios, aunque sea como lo hace @bitrefill. Intégralo ya para que desde el UX de Aureo sea posible pagar, recargar créditos, etc.
Hazlo limpio e intuitivo, pero no me mandes a un banco.

@michaelrbock @claudeai @turbotax @AnthropicAI Issue is major risk if it makes a mistake.
Likely even less possibility of explaining a honest mistake since there is no preparer. You are the preparer using tools.
Great to try if you have a simple return though as a starting point.
English
I've been working on tax software for the past 5 years. This is the last year anyone will have to pay for TurboTax.
You can try it yourself today:
- add the Aiwyn Tax connector inside of Claude (link below)
- give it access to your tax documents (W-2s, etc.)
- ask Claude to prepare your tax return
...and that's it!

@DollarDecay @BitcoinNewsCom Seems all major on chain benefits disappear in this scenario.
I hope I'm missing something.

COINBASE: NO MARGIN CALLS FOR BITCOIN-BACKED MORTGAGES
Coinbase says its crypto-backed mortgages will carry rates around 0.5% to 1.5% higher than a standard 30-year, depending on borrower profile.
Loans feature no margin calls or collateral top-ups.
BTC price drops do not change loan terms or trigger liquidation.
Collateral is only at risk after 60 days of missed payments, aligning with traditional mortgage standards.
Bitcoin News@BitcoinNewsCom
NEW: Coinbase and Fannie Mae partner with Better Home & Finance to launch Bitcoin-backed mortgages for U.S. homebuyers. Borrowers can pledge Bitcoin or USD Coin as collateral for down payments, allowing them to keep their assets and avoid triggering taxable sales. The loans are structured as conforming mortgages backed by Fannie Mae, meaning they follow standard underwriting rules and carry the same protections as traditional home loans. The product targets everyday buyers locked out by down payment constraints. Better says 41% of U.S. families can’t purchase homes due to lack of liquid cash, despite holding savings in other assets. Rising interest rates and high home prices have tightened affordability. A buyer targeting a $400K home may struggle to source $40K in cash without selling assets and navigating tax and legal friction. Coinbase says the offering brings crypto into mainstream housing finance, calling it “as American as apple pie.”

@DollarDecay @BitcoinNewsCom Can someone explain why someone would want a USDC loan?
We're borrowing dollars against our dollars?!?!
There's no capital gains or diff. in exposure. WTF?

@realsaadasad Whether affordable or market, the demand is massive.
We can't build a few hundred or thousand units. We likely needs millions of new units rather quickly in order to truly turn this shortage around.
English
5,000 families applied for 100 affordable units in Rancho Bernardo — 4,900 went without. The project is proof that transit-oriented affordable housing works in San Diego.
It's also proof that relying solely on affordable housing, against a 124,000-person waitlist, isn't a housing policy.

@EytanWallace @GavinNewsom This is the right approach. No more blank checks to cities that refuse to lower the cost of housing by deregulating housing construction.

Zohran is such a masterful communicator that I know more about NYC initiatives than my own city’s sometimes.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor
Government must deliver for working people—and every dollar in our budget should work as hard as they do. That’s why I directed every agency to cut waste and help close our budget gap. Here’s some of what we found.

@AureoBitcoin Sería increíble si se pudiera desde terceros. Incluso si ocupan KYC el tercero, no es tanto la tema.
Porque así eliminas la necesidad de que tener que usar el app de tu banco. Solo llega bitcoin y ya.

@CepnikMaciej The state controls its fiat and cash. Tightly so. Privacy isn't perfect when trying to actually spend it either. Lots of KYC checks beyond banks. From buying a car to buying a house, to moving the paper money across borders or regions.
English
@CepnikMaciej To be clear. Fiat is not entirely autonomous.
India invalidated some of its largest paper money bills in circulation with no prior notice.

Mexico’s government just said it wants to make digital payment mandatory at gas stations and highway tolls.
🇲🇽❌💵
That is a dangerous path. It is more centralized, less inclusive, and gives the state more visibility and control over the everyday lives of regular citizens.
In Mexico, a large share of the population remains outside the formal banking system. Around 37% of adults aged 18–70 do not have a formal banking account, according to ENIF 2024. For many people, cash is not a preference; it's the only option.
If every payment for gasoline and tolls must be digital, then access to mobility becomes dependent on the banking system. And that means this government, or a future one, has far more power to monitor, restrict, or freeze your economic life.
Bitcoin is the alternative Mexicans should take seriously. It is digital money, but it preserves the most important property of cash: nobody can stop a Bitcoin transaction.
If we want a healthier balance of power between citizens and the state, Mexico needs more monetary sovereignty, not less.
