So, this allegedly happened: 1) @binance announces they'll support Taproot. 2) User requests withdrawal to P2TR address, Binance creates P2WSH output instead, burning the funds. 3) @BinanceHelpDesk blames user for mistake, no refund. @cz_binance, you should make that user whole.

"Bitcoin is useless." No, it’s the native currency of the internet. Borderless, digital cash.

"bits" is a horrible name for a subunit of bitcoin. I'll die in that hill.

Omnivore, single, never shot a gun, don't own a Coldcard, never read “The Bitcoin Standard”, atheist—ah, I do use Twitter. Phew, I'm glad that the space is so tolerant that checking 1/7 boxes is enough to let me contribute to Bitcoin for almost a decade…

Batching in three sentences: • Payments are not equal to transactions. • A single transaction can facilitate multiple payments. • Making multiple payments in one transaction requires fewer inputs, creates fewer change outputs and puts less funds in unconfirmed state.

Dear EU parliament members, please stop distorting the jargon. What you call a "hosted wallet" is a user account: a service relationship between a company and a customer. What you demean as an "unhosted wallet" is simply a WALLET—a means to self-custody your electronic cash.
