Situación: Estás en El Salvador y necesitas un tratamiento dental de urgencia antes de volar a Suecia. ¿Qué haces? Publica en @BittaskerDotCom y te pondrán en contacto con @solarisholistic, igual que le pasó a @zackdorseyx Todo esto es posible gracias a los smart contracts en Rootstock. ¿Cómo has utilizado Bitcoin en la vida cotidiana?

“Lightning is great for payments. But platforms need more than payments.” 🌈 Today we're introducing Prism, a new payment architecture powering Geyser. It improves payment reliability, keeps us non-custodial, & enables native payment splits. We built it to solve challenges we faced at Geyser, and think it could be useful for other Bitcoin apps too. 🧵

Mientras todos discuten si Bitcoin va a $100K o $80K, hay gente construyendo DeFi completo sobre la red más segura del mundo. Préstamos. Stablecoins. DEXs. Todo sobre Bitcoin. Y casi nadie en LATAM lo está viendo. Te muestro qué es @rootstock_es 🧵👇 @dieguito @aeidelman @GabrielKurman @SDLerner

Y después de resistir y agotar todas las opciones de mierda, la gente va a empezar a usar Bitcoin y Rootstock.

🎉 ALL-OR-NOTHING: SUCCESS @we_satoshis just became the second project to hit its full funding goal using All-Or-Nothing on Geyser. ⚡ A hardware card built for real-world, self-custody usage, now moving forward because the community showed up. Big congrats for crossing the line. 🟠🔥

SURPRISE UPDATE! 🚨 We intended to save this for Monday, but we couldn't wait 🤫 Dollar on Chain ($DoC) on @rootstock_io and @tether USDT on many networks are now LIVE as payment methods on Peach! You can now trade stablecoins for BTC peer-to-peer 🤝 💸

BITCOIN RAILS #48: THE HISTORY OF BITCOIN SIDE CHAINS | with @rootstock_io creator & @FairGateLabs CTO @SDLerner 🔗 YOUTUBE: youtu.be/JYnh87gHJQQ 🌿 SPOTIFY: open.spotify.com/episode/43TjEn… The ultimate Bitcoin "scaling OG," Sergio Lerner, has been working on Bitcoin bridges since 2012. Sergio was the first person on the Bitcoin Talk forum to propose the idea that “one chain could validate the consensus of another chain” and architected the first functioning Bitcoin sidechain @rootstock_io shortly after the canonical @Blockstream sidechains paper was published in 2014. Lesser known is Lerner’s recent contributions to the development of BitVM—through his team’s Alliance-independent implementation, BitVMX. In addition to their unique BitVM implementation (optimizing for different tradeoffs compared to @robin_linus BitVM Alliance), the BitVMX team is quietly operating as the “fixer” service provider to many of the most interesting BitVM rollups set to launch in 2026. In this episode, Lerner and I dive deep into the history of Bitcoin sidechains, why various projects of the past decade have succeeded or failed (and the legacies they left behind), and the trust-minimized future he sees through the development of BitVM/BitVMX. This episode of Bitcoin Rails is powered by: — Best In Slot (@bestinslotxyz) — the leading API for Ordinals and BRC-20 data aggregation and indexing. — Spark (@lightspark) — a statechains implementation advancing Bitcoin-powered payments. — Citrea (@citrea_xyz) — a leading Bitcoin rollup technology and BitVM alliance contributor. 📌 TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Intro 01:39 Early Bitcoin and Cryptography Background 03:55 Bitcoin’s Limits Back in 2012 05:26 The First Turing-Complete Cryptocurrency 06:27 Contributions to Bitcoin and Ethereum 16:52 Why Mining Centralization Is Bitcoin’s Biggest Risk 24:34 Rootstock vs. Original Sidechains Whitepaper 33:50 Federated Bridges and Their Trade-offs 40:49 First Rootstock Users 46:31 Merge Mining and Bitcoin Security 56:03 Fairgate, BitVM, and Garbled Circuits 01:06:37 Bridging Models and Business Constraints
