Correction: Gulf of 'America' according to this administration :) But all jokes aside, this administration started promising with a pro-Bitcoin policy, but its policy towards immigrants, environment, and it's foreign policy are all a huge disaster.

Dorsey’s Square auto-enables bitcoin payments for millions of U.S. businesses The new rollout converts BTC to dollars by default for small businesses, aiming to embed bitcoin into everyday commerce without added friction. https://www.coindesk.com/business/2026/03/30/jack-dorsey-s-square-auto-enables-bitcoin-payments-for-millions-of-u-s-businesses

09:15 AM. ☕️ Day 57. The view from 8 weeks of consistency is VIVID. Smashed my daily stacking floor before Europe even woke up. It’s not just about the sats; it's about the architecture: 🧊 Vault is locked. ⚡️ Daily yield is flowing. 📱 Sovereign spending is primed. Hit a significant personal milestone in the spending wallet today—the system is working. We don't track price; we track discipline. 8 weeks down. A lifetime of sovereignty to go. #Day57 #Bitcoin #Plebchain #Grownostr #StackingSats #VividVision #Sovereignty

Day 48 of stacking sats on Satsman. Earned 6,604 sats so far. If you want to learn about Bitcoin while earning real sats, here's my link: https://satsman.com?ref=pierre_36464

Bitcoin is indisputably the world’s premier Store of Value, but we are hitting a friction point in its evolution as a Medium of Exchange. Technically, Bitcoin + Lightning is the superior payment rail: it’s faster, cheaper, and eliminates the "chargeback" risk that plagues legacy merchants. Yet, the ground reality remains: most merchants still only accept fiat, and those who do accept BTC often see it account for less than 1% of their revenue. Why the gap? In my opinion, the bottleneck isn't the tech—it's us. Most Bitcoiners are focused solely on "HODLing," effectively keeping the best medium of exchange locked in a vault. For Bitcoin to win the $32.9 Trillion retail market, we have to start using the plumbing we’ve built. What's the solution? Most of us still earn in fiat, which means the bridge to a Bitcoin standard starts with a deliberate habit. My recommendation for every Bitcoiner is simple: send a fixed amount of every paycheck directly to your on-chain wallet for long-term savings, but move the bulk of your "spendable" liquidity into your Lightning wallet for daily essentials like groceries. Apps like are perfect for this—they allow you to seamlessly bridge your Euro accounts with Lightning rails, making it easy to off-ramp exactly what you need for daily costs while keeping the rest in your sovereign control. This mirrors the discipline I saw in the 80s and 90s. My mother used to budget her physical cash for the week; every time she spent less than planned, those extra bills went straight into a piggy bank. Over time, that "spare" cash accumulated until she could buy new furniture or other essentials. Also I believe we need to normalize the "dual-wallet" architecture. Apps like Bitkit are leading the way by offering a seamless, self-custodial interface that mirrors traditional finance but with total sovereignty: - Savings: a Level 1 (on-chain) Bitcoin address for long-term wealth preservation and "Vault" security. - Spending: a Lightning-powered wallet designed for instant, low-cost daily transactions. Having full visibility and the ability to swap between savings (HODLing) and spending in one interface is how we transition from "speculators" to a functional circular economy. It's time to stop just holding the future and start spending it. #Bitcoin #LightningNetwork #Bitkit #HODL #SpendingSats #FinancialSovereignty #PlebChain

The European Central Bank (ECB) is now officially seeking "experts" to help jam the Digital Euro into ATMs and legacy card terminals. It honestly feels like watching someone try to reinvent the wheel, but with extra layers of surveillance and centralized friction. While the ECB is still in the "call for experts" phase for basic terminal integration, the Bitcoin ecosystem has already solved this: 1) Lightning Network: Already settling institutional-grade payments ($1M+) and micro-retail instantly. 2) Taproot Assets: Already bringing stablecoins to secure, decentralized rails. 3) e-Cash ( / ): Already providing the digital bearer instrument and offline privacy the ECB claims to be "researching". 4) Open Terminals: Solutions like @Numo Pay and @Square’s new auto-enablement are already live for millions of merchants. We don't need a centralized "roadmap" to tell us how to use digital money. We have an open-source engine that’s been running at 100% uptime for years. Why wait for a permissioned, account-based CBDC when the peer-to-peer future is already in your pocket? 🌍🔓 #Bitcoin #LightningNetwork #CBDC #DigitalEuro #Ecash #FinancialSovereignty #PlebChain #SimonConsulting

The "Invisible Infrastructure" just went into overdrive. ⚡️🧱 Starting March 30, Square is auto-enabling Bitcoin Lightning payments for 4 million merchants. This isn't a pilot; this is a default. Overnight, millions of businesses will become Bitcoin-accepting entities. Most won't even need to be "techies"—they’ll just see faster settlement and lower fees. This is exactly what I meant by the Trojan Horse: we win by making the superior tech the default. While the skeptics are busy debating "utility," and the team at Block are busy upgrading the global plumbing. The transition from "Turn everyday sales" into "long-term value" is no longer optional. History is being written in real-time. Are you ready for the surge? 📉➡️📈 #Bitcoin #LightningNetwork #Square #Block #Adoption #Hyperbitcoinization #InvisibleInfrastructure #PlebChain

Nice article. Very insightful.

Had some "spirited" discussions yesterday regarding stablecoins on #Bitcoin. It’s clear the tension between monetary purism and pragmatic adoption is at an all-time high. As a consultant advising fintechs on payment rails, I see the ground reality every day: we are fighting for a $32.9 Trillion retail market, yet #BTC Map shows only ~20k merchants onboarded. Pure BTC is the destination, but for the 99% of businesses facing 5% margins and strict compliance, stablecoins on Bitcoin rails (via Taproot Assets) are the essential bridge. We can’t win the world if we refuse to build the plumbing they can actually use today. I’ve written an article deep-diving into this schism—balancing the "Sound Money" philosophy with the "Trojan Horse" strategy for merchant adoption. Publishing the full piece later today. Stay tuned. 🏗️⚡ #Bitcoin #Stablecoins #TaprootAssets #Fintech #Adoption
