- The Genesis Bond officially has a block height 🟧 The bond runs during reward cycle 143, which starts at Bitcoin block 966,350. → Opens on Sept ~10 → Enrollment closes Sept 9 → First rewards are projected for Sept 17
- "The lock is enforced by Bitcoin consensus itself, requiring no trust in a custodian, bridge, or signer set." @castle_labs on PoX-5 Bitcoin Staking
- REMINDER 🟧 Only a few blocks left. Restake your STX before Bitcoin block 962,050 to keep earning next cycle.
- Bitcoiners aren't yield averse, they're custody averse. They'll hold through an 80% drawdown without flinching, then turn down a 5% return that requires handing over custody of their funds. Why Bitcoin Staking changes this from @castle_labs 🟧
