Blockstream’s SHRINCS brings post-quantum cryptography to Bitcoin by enabling quantum-resistant signatures. It offers a path to protect BTC from future quantum attacks without requiring immediate changes to Bitcoin’s core protocol. - Blockstream reposted
16 years ago, the first Bitcoin faucet gave away free bitcoin. Today, we’re honoring that legacy. 🚰⚡️ Happy Blockstream Faucet Day! We’re giving away $5 in L-BTC per redemption on @Liquid_BTC. To claim yours: 👇 Reply with your Blockstream app Liquid receive address 📸
- When the world can't agree on whose currency to trust, the value of Bitcoin's geopolitical neutrality comes to the fore. @kinetic_finance breaks it down in the latest Exit Manual. If you're convinced, @BlockstreamJade is where you take self-custody.
- Replying to @BlockstreamCoins on exchanges are diminishing. The ones who move first stack the most.
- "Ultimately people can only sell once and the number of coins left on exchange is diminishing." @adam3us on Bitcoin supply dynamics.

00:00 - Systemic risk vs localized risk. That's the core argument for exploring stateful hash-based signatures in Bitcoin. @blksresearch Director @n1ckler on why standardized post-quantum schemes create risks for everyone, and why SHRINCS moves that risk to where it can be managed.
00:00 - Adam Back on Bitcoin as collateral, the risks of DeFi smart contracts, why Simplicity is a safer path, and how to think about price volatility after living through every cycle. - @adam3us with @danheld at @proofoftalk Paris.

On May 26, 2015, @rusty_twit made his first commit to Core Lightning. What happened over the next eleven years speaks for itself. Thank you, Rusty. ⚡ - "It's very hard to prove a negative, is the fundamental problem." @adam3us at @proofoftalk Paris, speaking with @BloombergTV on the Satoshi question and why the trail went cold 15 years ago.
- Adam Back (@adam3us), CEO of Blockstream and one of Bitcoin infrastructure's defining builders, takes to the Forum Stage at @pointzeroforum in Zurich on June 25. Joining @BBilowitzki, Simone Maini, Christian Schmid, @sabharwals, and Sandra Ro to talk tokenisation, shifting
- Blockstream repostedCore Lightning 26.06 "Quantum-Resistant Lightning Channel" has shipped. Graceful shutdowns, precise send amounts, smarter payment retries, and enhanced payment privacy. Your node runs cleaner and your payments stay harder to observe. ⚡
