Hi there, bitcoin:native!

Yes!

@gringokiwi @arkade_os Beautiful thread!

If you've been playing around with @arkade_os, you may have noticed an 'Arkade address' in your Receive tab You may be wondering: 👉 Why is it so long? 👉 Why is the first part the same even after creating a new wallet? 👉 How does it relate to my mainnet Bitcoin address?

Native Bitcoin markets, in addition to Native Stacks markets, will help to position @ZestProtocol as a go-to protocol for Bitcoin lending. Most Bitcoiners are not comfortable with bridging or wrapping, and with Native Bitcoin deposits coming soon, it opens a new pathway. I look forward to seeing the growth of native Bitcoin on Zest.

Another step in the journey for @surge_credit: from private beta to public beta. Go check them out if you’re looking to unlock a credit line against your Bitcoin.

It would be the funniest thing if every Bitcoin miner turned AI data center sold at the Bitcoin bottom.

Day 1 at Bitcoin Vegas 2026 — strong start. Great reception from Bitcoiners. They get the credit line, the rates — and start questioning the products they’re using today. A lot of deep questions on how it works and why it’s priced better. Our Workshop 101 talk was packed, followed by a solid 10-min Q&A + more conversations after. Fired up for tomorrow. This is fun. Shoutout to the team.

Someone who bought Bitcoin at $60,000 on February 6 and did nothing is sitting on a 31% dollar-denominated return in under three months. Given continued rupiah weakness, the IDR-denominated return is higher still. The structural case for Bitcoin in Indonesia is not complicated: a fixed-supply asset, a depreciating local currency and a population already comfortable with digital assets and already taking risk. The missing piece is not access or appetite. It is the framing.

Indonesia has millions of active crypto users and ranks among the top ten crypto markets globally. The activity is overwhelmingly retail and trading-oriented. The culture here is comfortable with risk, comfortable with screens and deeply familiar with digital payments. What it has not yet fully internalized is the difference between trading crypto and holding Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is sitting at $79,000 and the reaction has been cautious at best. No euphoria, no headlines declaring a new era. Just a quiet $19,000 climb off the February lows while most of the market debates whether this is a recovery or the second leg of a bear flag.
