Great video. Have yet to come across material which condenses the last 2 years of advances around BitVM so succinctly and clearly. Well done @david_seroy

Sept 24, 2024 — @liameagen quietly presented Garbled Circuits during a private internal team session. At the time? Not practical. Now? It is with Glock (🔫💥) 100x improvement over BitVM. Paper, whiteboard, and code dropping soon.

Unfortunate. It probably creates a chilling effect on bitcoin devs and builders.

This is a terrible outcome for Roman and for all of crypto. If the Trump administration wants the USA to be the crypto capital of the world, then DOJ must not be allowed to retry the two deadlocked charges. This is existential. If you've been sleeping on Section 1960, wake up.

The Bitcoin dollar Based on the V2 codebase, a true BTC stablecoin is launching soon. No token. No governance. Only BTC collateral. A public good for the crypto industry.

🔓 @AlpenLabs’ Bitcoin financial system testnet is now live! Developers can build trading, borrowing & stablecoin apps directly on BTC using ZK-rollups. Mainnet next! ⚡ - Features BTC-backed "Bitcoin Dollar" stablecoin. - EVM compatibility for Ethereum devs. - Backed by Ribbit, Castle Island Ventures.

The promise of ZK-enabled Bitcoin yield is being realized one polynomial at a time (and will be here sooner than you might have expected)

Alpen is the first Bitcoin rollup that will make native BTC a productive asset. Excited for their testnet launch! One step closer to mainnet :)

Expanding Bitcoin's functionality & scalability is one of, if not the most important technical frontier in all of crypto Couldn't be more excited to watch Alpen come to life and get to use it soon
