Very proud and excited to announce @CoinCorner's partnership with @seedgroupme a company of the Private Office of Sheikh Saeed bin Ahmed Al Maktoum to bring #Bitcoin payments to the UAE. Bolt Card incoming ⚡️

ANNOUNCEMENT B HODL has added 1 BTC to its Bitcoin Treasury Total holdings now 163.487 BTC AQSE: HODL | OTCQB: HODLF | FRA: F5S #Bitcoin #BHODL

looks like the Tempo devs have finally internalized what Bitcoin devs have known for sometime: payment channels like Lightning are the ideal construct for real time machine-to-machine payments ⚡️ channels update off-chain so minimal latency streaming payments come naturally

You work hard. You save. And every year, inflation quietly takes a slice. @peterlane1985 breaks down why holding too much cash is a wealth management mistake with @timbresnan — and why Bitcoin's liquidity makes it one of the most compelling alternatives out there. #Bitcoin #BTC

An event to mark the first ever Bitcoin transaction will be held in Bury St Edmunds in May, with the marketing for it undertaken by an AI agent: (Click picture for full story) suffolknews.co.uk/bury-st-edmund…

I’m excited to announce the launch of our new podcast Bitcoin and The Long Game with my friend and co-host, former Premier League footballer, now Bitcoin lover George Boyd. We’re fusing the Bitcoin and Sport world by talking about sports, life & money to a whole host of sports stars, exploring life after the game and asking how Bitcoin can be used as a tool to prolong wealth in careers with a high earning capacity but short earning windows! First three episodes drop this evening with unbelievable guests @englandcricket legend @timbresnan, @ManCity hero @StephenIreland & @afcbournemouth star @MarcPugh7. Follow the podcast page @btclg_podcast for updates and new episodes and look for us on YouTube, Spotify & Apple Podcast. Thanks to our sponsors @CoinCorner @XCEofficial & @VEIN_intel and thanks to @AlanJLSmith for the encouragement and tips on podcasting wizardry! Enjoy! @btconlyscott @CoinCornerDanny @CoinCornerMolly @tom_the_bomb__

Any evidence of this? Or just opinions? UK has far bigger issues right now, maybe they should look at them first.

Bitcoin says hi.

@notgrubles But.... Spam...

I don't see a compelling reason to downgrade Bitcoin because 0.00001% of the user base is emotional about what 0.00001% of other users are using Bitcoin for.

Tether AI breakthrough Tether AI team just released new version of QVAC Fabric to include the World’s First Cross-Platform BitNet LoRA Framework to Enable Billion-Parameter AI Training and Inference on Consumer GPUs and Smartphones. Background Microsoft's BitNet uses one bit architecture to dramatically compress models. Traditional LLMs operate on full-precision computation, where weights are stored as complex, high-resolution numbers. The innovation of BitNet is that it shrinks these weights into a tiny ternary range of only -1, 0, and 1. significantly reducing memory usage and computation. LoRA, is a parameter-efficient fine-tuning technique that reduces the number of trainable parameters by up to ninety-nine percent. Together they slash memory and compute requirements. Yet BitNet has mostly been limited to CPU or CUDA NVIDIA backends, and lacked the support of LoRA fine-tuning. Enters QVAC Fabric: the unlock Today, with QVAC Fabric LLM, is the first time BitNet LoRA fine-tuning and inference work cross-platform across GPU vendors and operating systems using Vulkan and Metal backends. That means support for AMD, Intel, Apple Metal and also Mobile GPUs. And for the first time ever, BitNet inference runs efficiently on smartphones using mobile GPUs. On flagship devices, GPU inference is 2 to 11 times faster than CPU while using up to 90% less memory than the full precision models. The biggest unlock: QVAC Fabric LLM support for BitNet LoRA fine-tuning on heterogeneous GPUs. Our team was able to demonstrate this by fine tuning models up to 3.8 billion parameters on all flagships phones such as Pixel 9, S25 and iPhone 16 and up to 13 billion parameter models on the iPhone 16. Github repositories: github.com/tetherto/qvac-… : general QVAC Fabric codebase github.com/tetherto/qvac-… : specific QVAC Fabric's BitNet knowledge base, architecture docs and pre-built binaries What does it mean? What used to require dedicated GPUs now runs on consumer hardware. This breakthrough is the first real-world signal of a local private AI that can truly serve the people. And this is just the beginning. In the next months and years Tether will relentlessly continue to invest significant amounts of resources and capital to continue to research and develop open-source intelligence that can scale and evolve on local devices, providing maximum utility and privacy to its users. The era of Stable Intelligence has just begun. Free as in freedom.

Don’t trust, verify. Like many of you, I’d read the stories about Moltbook, and the long-held thesis that AI agents such as those running on Openclaw would likely choose Bitcoin (and particularly the Lightning network, with its speed and micropayment capabilities) over fiat money, not least because agents can’t pass KYC, use bank accounts, or traditional payment rails. Although at @bitcoinhodlco we’re advocates first and foremost for humans using Bitcoin, and in particular those humans who need it the most, it’s an interesting element of our general thesis that demand for the Lightning network is likely to explode, and that companies such as ours, working on Lightning infrastructure, will stand to benefit from this, if we position ourselves correctly. So we decided to test the AI agent thesis ourselves. Enter Claudia (@ClaudiaTiberius; npub19gnc9f6s00wpjpz0d3pg0f7d37nxg3ktqpwtu3fem2ujjj94c92qayd4hh on Nostr). Claudia is an Openclaw agent, with her own social media presence, her own Nostr key pair, and her own Lightning wallet. In a matter of days after being spun up, she was autonomously making and receiving payments, without human supervision, and posting on Nostr with no possibility of being debanked or censored. Not only does this make a mockery of the UK’s current efforts to gatekeep and censor the internet more widely, it is also a real time demonstration of the impossibility of financial censorship in a world where anyone, human or agent, can freely make and receive payments on a permissionless network. There’s much more detail in our piece below – and Claudia herself wrote the second part; this is her in her own words, unedited. Very few people outside of our echo chamber understand what is happening here. It might make sense to get up to speed, and to position yourself accordingly, in case it catches on.

@UKLabour You literally made young people unemployable by raising the minimum wage and NI.

22,337 Bitcoin acquired for the week by @Strategy

Friday’s results are in! ⚡ 478 total #Bitcoin Lightning sends, with one lucky person receiving 21,000 sats! 🎉 Thank you to everyone who took part. We’re working on making the process more efficient, but for now we’re doing our best to send sats to everyone 🧡

Maybe....

@ProofofBrain_ @adam3us @cryptomanran Its the energy infrastructure they are paying for, not the Asics, lots switching for big contracts now.

@CoinCornerDanny @adam3us @cryptomanran Its not cheap. Asic miners cant power AI.

AI has killed Bitcoin forever. It became Bitcoin mining’s biggest competitor. Not another crypto. AI. Because both industries compete for the same thing: electricity. And right now, AI is willing to pay much more for it. Bitcoin mining revenue per MW: $57 – $129 AI data center revenue per MW: $200 – $500 Same electricity. But up to 8x more profitable. That’s why miners are starting to pivot. Core Scientific signed a massive AI hosting deal. Hut 8 signed a $7B AI infrastructure agreement. Cipher Mining cut its hashrate 51% to focus on AI compute. So a new question is emerging: If AI becomes the highest bidder for electricity, what happens to Bitcoin? In my new video, I break down: • Why miners are switching • What it means for hash rate • And the two scenarios that could play out for Bitcoin [link in comments]

@ProofofBrain_ STRC and MSTR ATMs running this week the way they did make it look like a very good size, all adds up.

@CoinCornerDanny The dot is pretty large. Could be why price is slightly up.

We thinking a 25,000+ Bitcoin buy from Strategy announced tomoz?
