Bitcoin is holding around $83K while macro turns hostile: oil near $100, the 10-year yield pressing toward 5%, and traders piling into bets on another Fed hike.

Next test: Wednesday's August PCE inflation print. #Bitcoin

Saylor isn't slowing down.

Strategy added 1,665 BTC last week for $142.7M (avg ~$85,681), funded by selling MSTR shares.

Stack now: 847,666 BTC at an average cost of $75,437. 🟠

After the Coldcard entropy story, a lot of you asked the obvious follow-up: how does Jade handle this?

So we went and read

‘s own breakdown, plus the source code. Here's the short version.

The risk is the same for every hardware wallet: a private key is only as safe as the randomness used to create it. If that randomness is weak, an attacker doesn't need to steal your device… they can just guess.

Jade's answer is to never rely on a single source.

While the device is running, it continuously pulls entropy from several independent places at once:

→ User interaction — button presses and the wheel → CPU counters → Battery state → Ambient temperature → Several camera frames captured during boot: even pointed at a blank desk, the sensor noise is usable randomness → A built-in hardware random number generator → Entropy contributed by the companion app on your phone

One detail worth knowing: Jade's hardware RNG partly draws from the device's radio. Run the "No-Radio" firmware and you lose that input… so Blockstream compensates by sampling raw radio noise once at boot, before the radio is disabled, and folding it into the mix anyway.

All of this feeds into an accumulator modeled on the same approach Bitcoin Core uses: a 32-byte internal state, updated by hashing itself together with fresh entropy through SHA-512. The hash output is split… half becomes the new internal state, half is handed off to generate your recovery phrase. That hashing runs constantly, including every time you touch a button.

Two things stand out compared to a single-source design:

1. There's no one point of failure. If one sensor is noisy, biased, or misconfigured, the others still contribute.
2. New entropy is always added on top of the old, never used to replace it… so state never gets "reset" to something weaker.

It's not a guarantee against every possible flaw: no design is. But it's a meaningfully different risk model than depending on one RNG path end-to-end, which is exactly the assumption that broke down elsewhere this year.

BTC down 45% from its 2025 high. ETF tourists are gone. Miners are still producing blocks every 10 minutes. Settlement is still final. The ledger is still neutral. The weak hands always leave before the next chapter begins. The protocol is indifferent to your feelings. #Bitcoin

The “One Big Beautiful Bill” raised the debt ceiling to $41.1T and will add $3.4 trillion in new debt over 10 years, per the CBO. Congress has raised the debt limit 79 times since 1960. Bitcoin has never changed its supply. Once. #Bitcoin #AustrianEconomics

The Fed held rates at its April 29 meeting while the Middle East burns, Treasury yields rise, and inflation compensation creeps back up. Trapped. Can’t hike into a $39T debt load. Can’t cut into rising prices. Bitcoin doesn’t have this problem. It has no committee. #Bitcoin

$2.4B in Bitcoin ETF outflows in May. Paper hands left. Good. Bitcoin was never meant to be a line item on a BlackRock spreadsheet. It was meant to be the exit from a system that just added $3.4T in new debt with a single signature. #Bitcoin #SoundMoney

BTC at $63K. Fear & Greed: 11. “Extreme Fear.” In fiat, fear means sell. In sound money, fear means the discount window is open. The protocol didn’t change. The ledger didn’t change. The 21 million didn’t change. Your conviction did. #Bitcoin

US national debt hit $39.16T. Growing $6B per day. Interest on that debt now exceeds defense spending. The “One Big Beautiful Bill” raised the ceiling to $41.1T. There is no ceiling. There is only Bitcoin. #Bitcoin #SoundMoney

.

: “When raising rates deepens the deficit faster than it cools inflation… the central bank has already lost.” That’s today. Fed trapped at 6.75%. Fiscal dominance is not a theory anymore. It’s the regime. Bitcoin is the exit. #Bitcoin

.

defined sound money by one property above all: a low stock-to-flow ratio that no ruler can manipulate. Gold took millennia to build that. Bitcoin encoded it in 21 lines of math. No committee. No vote. Never. #Bitcoin #TheBitcoinStandard

Iran threatens the Strait of Hormuz. Brent hits $97. Gold holds $4,500. The world is being reminded… AGAIN… why you cannot trust a system whose soundness depends on political stability. Bitcoin needs no government to function. #Bitcoin #Gold

Central banks bought record gold in 2025 while telling citizens Bitcoin was risky and CPI was under control. They hedge with the real thing. You should too. #Gold #Bitcoin #AustrianEconomics

BTC at $69K isn’t “crashed.” On the Power Law, this is mid-corridor, post-peak trough: exactly where the model said we’d be. The floor rises every year. Time is the variable most people refuse to own. #Bitcoin

How a Tiny Island in El Salvador is Leading a #Bitcoin Revolution

Imagine a small island, nestled in the Gulf of Fonseca, where fishing is the main livelihood and life flows at a leisurely pace. This island, La Pirraya, with its pristine beaches and close-knit community, is becoming an unexpected hotspot for a financial revolution. Through Bitcoin adoption, La Pirraya is poised to transform its economy and future.

During a recent episode of the BitCorner podcast, I had the pleasure of interviewing

, a French expatriate who has spent the last year promoting Bitcoin education and adoption on La Pirraya. His journey and efforts provide a fascinating glimpse into the grassroots movement of Bitcoin in El Salvador.

From France to #ElSalvador: Quentin’s Bitcoin Journey

Quentin’s story begins in France, where the restrictive measures during the COVID-19 pandemic pushed him to seek freedom and new opportunities abroad. He first traveled to Mexico, where he embraced a nomadic lifestyle, before finally settling in El Salvador. It was here that Quentin’s path crossed with “Mi Primer Bitcoin” (My First Bitcoin), a non-profit organization focused on Bitcoin education.

His deep connection with the mission of Mi Primer Bitcoin led him to take on a unique challenge: to live on La Pirraya and spearhead Bitcoin education and social projects funded by Bitcoin. The goal? To create a circular economy on the island using Bitcoin.

Building a Bitcoin Economy from Scratch

The task was daunting. La Pirraya, though beautiful, is economically underdeveloped and socially isolated. Quentin and his partner, Sam, moved to the island with a vision to bootstrap its economy using Bitcoin. Their first step was to renovate the communal house, transforming it into a vibrant hub for education and community gatherings. This once-abandoned building became the heart of their operation.

They organized a diverse range of classes — Bitcoin, English, and Spanish literacy courses — to equip the residents with valuable skills. But the real magic happened when they introduced Bitcoin workshops to local businesses. By educating business owners and creating a network of Bitcoin-accepting merchants, they laid the foundation for a functional Bitcoin economy.

A Festival to Remember

To demonstrate the potential of Bitcoin, Quentin organized a grand event: a beach soccer tournament and festival. This wasn’t just any festival; it was designed to showcase the benefits of Bitcoin to the entire island. Local businesses set up stalls and accepted Bitcoin payments using POS systems. Tourists were invited, injecting much-needed revenue into the local economy.

The event was a massive success. It wasn’t just about the immediate economic boost; it was about showing the islanders that a different economic future was possible. Through this festival, Quentin effectively “orange-pilled” the community, converting skeptics into believers.

Overcoming Challenges and Looking Ahead

The journey wasn’t without its challenges. Quentin had to navigate the complexities of convincing both businesses and their suppliers to accept Bitcoin. It was a delicate dance of aligning incentives and fostering trust. But with perseverance, Quentin managed to create a small but growing Bitcoin ecosystem on La Pirraya.

Today, the project continues under local leadership, with ongoing support from Mi Primer Bitcoin. Quentin has moved on to new adventures, now living in Berlin and working on the Bitcoin Backup, a project focused on self-custody setups for Bitcoiners.

Lessons from La Pirraya

Quentin’s story is a testament to the transformative power of grassroots movements. It highlights how Bitcoin can be a tool for economic empowerment, even in the most unexpected places. His work on La Pirraya offers a blueprint for similar initiatives worldwide, proving that with dedication, education, and a bit of ingenuity, a small island can indeed lead a financial revolution.

If you ever find yourself in El Salvador, consider visiting La Pirraya. Attend a graduation ceremony hosted by Mi Primer Bitcoin, meet the islanders, and see firsthand how Bitcoin is reshaping their lives. It’s a journey worth taking, and who knows? You might just get inspired to start your own Bitcoin revolution.

"#Bitcoin is not about the money. It's about the freedom to choose your own monetary system." - Andreas Antonopoulos

When it comes to #Bitcoin there is only one thing that matters: Proof-of-Work (in every sense).

And if you are interested in "investing", just DCA or get paid in Bitcoin. The rest is nonsense.

Focus on what matters, study Bitcoin.

My honest take: We just saw that there’s only ONE president in the world that is a true BITCOINER and his name is @nayibbukele.

The fact that @realDonaldTrump speech is about #Bitcoin… and “crypto”(🥴) it shows that he doesn’t get it at all.

He needs a lot of work to do, a lot to study about Austrian Economics.

My honest take: now I’m convinced that @RobertKennedyJr is a true Bitcoiner. He has done his job. Yesterday he spoke as a true Bitcoiner.

If Trump actually care about the economy of his country, he should also do the job: study Bitcoin.

#ElSalvador is Bitcoin country for a reason. We’re Bitcoin only. There’s no second best.

Pure and true sound money.

Please, people in Nashville, don’t be deceived.

The decentralized nature of #Bitcoin means it can operate anywhere there is an internet connection, making it ideal for remote and underdeveloped areas. These areas often have abundant renewable energy resources like solar or wind power but lack the infrastructure to deliver this energy to the grid. Bitcoin mining provides a solution by using this localized energy, thus ensuring that it is not wasted and contributing to local economic development.

Happy The Bitcoin Conference (@TheBitcoinConf) week! ⚡️🇸🇻

🎧 In This Episode:

We’re exploring how #Bitcoin  is empowering human rights defenders in authoritarian regimes. This story is inspired by Bota @jardemalie, a remarkable activist from Kazakhstan. We'll examine the transformative power of Bitcoin and its role in the fight for freedom and justice.

Jardemalie's experience underscores Bitcoin’s potential beyond personal financial freedom. She works tirelessly to educate policymakers about Bitcoin’s benefits, challenging biases against Bitcoin mining.

Her advocacy emphasizes Bitcoin’s role in supporting renewable energy and a green economy. Bitcoin is not just an economic tool; it’s a lifeline for those fighting for justice in oppressive regimes. It allows activists to fund their activities securely and protect their supporters from government retribution. We also address The Threat to Privacy and Self-Custody among other great extremely important topics.

For a deeper dive into Bota’s journey and insights on Bitcoin’s role in human rights, watch to our latest episode.
