You've probably been hearing a lot about Bitcoin recently and are wondering what's the big deal? Most of your questions should be answered by the resources below but if you have additional questions feel free to ask them in the comments.
It all started with the release of **[Satoshi Nakamoto's whitepaper](https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf)** however that will probably go over the head of most readers so we recommend the following articles/books/videos as a good starting point for understanding how Bitcoin works and a little about its long term potential:
* [Article: The Bullish Case for Bitcoin](https://medium.com/@vijayboyapati/the-bullish-case-for-bitcoin-6ecc8bdecc1)

You can also see the number of times Bitcoin was [declared dead by the media](https://99bitcoins.com/obituary-stats) (LOL!)
## Key properties of Bitcoin
* **Limited Supply** - There will only ever be a [maximum of 21,000,000 bitcoins created](https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/10h04a6/this_is_how_we_know_theres_only_21_million_bitcoin/) and they are issued in a predictable fashion per the [inflation schedule](https://bashco.github.io/Bitcoin_Monetary_Inflation/). Once they are all issued Bitcoin will be truly deflationary. The [halving countdown](http://bitcoinblockhalf.com/) tells you approximately how much time until the next block reward halving.
* **Open source** - Bitcoin code is fully auditable. You can read and contribute to the [source code](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin) yourself.
* **Accountable** - The public ledger is transparent, all transactions are [seen by everyone](https://blockstream.info/).
* **Decentralized** - Bitcoin is globally distributed across thousands of nodes with no single point of failure and as such can't be shut down similar to how [Bittorrent](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent) works. You can even [run a node on a Raspberry Pi](https://getumbrel.com/).
* **Censorship resistant** - No one can prevent you from interacting with the Bitcoin network and no one can censor, alter or block transactions that they disagree with, see [Operation Chokepoint](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Choke_Point).
* **Push system** - There are [no chargebacks](https://gendal.me/2013/10/21/lessons-from-bitcoin-push-versus-pull/) in Bitcoin because only the person who owns the address where the bitcoin resides has the authority to move them.
* **Borderless** - No country can stop it from going in/out, even in areas currently unserved by traditional banking as the ledger is [globally distributed](https://bitnodes.io/nodes/live-map/).
* **Trustless** - Bitcoin solved the [Byzantine's Generals Problem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byzantine_fault_tolerance) which means nobody needs to trust anybody for it to work.
* **Pseudonymous** - No need to [expose personal information](https://buybitcoinworldwide.com/anonymity/) when purchasing with cash or transacting.
* **Secure** - Blocks and transactions are cryptographically secured (using hashes and signatures) and can’t be [brute forced](http://i.imgur.com/fYFBsqp.jpg) or confiscated with proper key management such as hardware wallets.
* **Programmable** - Individual units of bitcoin can be [programmed to transfer](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Script) based on certain criteria being met
* **Divisible** - Each bitcoin can be [divided down to 8 decimals](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Satoshi_(unit\)), which means you don't have to worry about buying an entire bitcoin.
* **Nearly instant** - From a few seconds on the Lightning Network to a [few minutes](https://www.blockchain.com/charts/median-confirmation-time) on-chain depending on need for confirmations. Transactions are irreversible by normal users after one confirmation and irreversible by anyone (including miners) after 6 confirmations.
* **Peer-to-peer** - No intermediaries taking a cut, no need for [trusted third parties](https://nakamotoinstitute.org/trusted-third-parties/).
* **Designed Money** - Bitcoin was created to fit all the [fundamental properties of money](https://imgur.com/a/5w3l2A6) better than gold or fiat.
* **Portable** - Bitcoin are digital so they are easier to move than cash or gold. They can be transported by simply carrying a seed (a string of 12 to 24 words) on a device or by [memorizing it for wallet recovery](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Brainwallet) (while cool, memorizing is generally not recommended due to potential for forgetting the seed and the potential for insecure key generation by inexperienced users. Hardware wallets are the preferred method for most users for their ease of use and additional security).
* **Low fee scaling** - Most wallets calculate on chain fees automatically but you can view [fee estimates](https://river.com/learn/how-bitcoin-fees-work/) and [mempool activity](https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#0,2w) if you want to set your fee manually. On chain fees may rise occasionally due to network demand, however instant micropayments that do not require confirmations are happening via the [Lightning Network](https://lightning.network/), an open source second layer payment protocol built on top of the Bitcoin blockchain. The Lightning Network enables Bitcoin users to instantly send and receive bitcoin with fees so low that they are negligible.
* **Scalable** - While the protocol is still being optimized for [increased transaction capacity](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Scalability), blockchains do not scale very well, so most transaction volume is expected to occur on Layer 2 networks built on top of Bitcoin.
## Where can I buy bitcoin?
[Bitcoin.org](https://bitcoin.org/en/buy) and [BuyBitcoinWorldwide.com](https://www.buybitcoinworldwide.com/) are helpful sites for beginners. You can buy or sell any amount of bitcoin (even just a few dollars worth) and there are several easy methods to purchase bitcoin with cash, credit card or bank transfer. Some of the more popular places to buy bitcoin are listed below.
* [Strike](https://strike.me/)
* [Cash App](https://cash.app/)
* [Swan](https://www.swanbitcoin.com/)
* [River Financial](https://river.com/)
* [Bull Bitcoin](https://www.bullbitcoin.com/)
* [Bitcoin Well](https://bitcoinwell.com/)
* [Relai](https://relai.app/)
* [LibertyX](https://libertyx.com/)
* [CoinCorner](https://www.coincorner.com/)
* [Bisq](https://bisq.network/) (decentralized & P2P)
* [HodlHodl](https://hodlhodl.com/?filters%5Bcurrency_code%5D=USD) (P2P)
* [List of peer-to-peer exchanges](https://github.com/cointastical/P2P-Trading-Exchanges/)
* [Debifi](https://debifi.com/) (non-custodial lending)
You can also purchase in cash with [local ATMs](http://coinatmradar.com/). If you would like your paycheck automatically converted to bitcoin try [Bitwage](https://www.bitwage.com/).
**Note:** Bitcoin are valued at whatever [market price](https://aggr.trade/1m1h) people are willing to pay for them in balancing act of supply vs demand. Unlike traditional markets, bitcoin markets operate 24 hours per day, 365 days per year.
## Securing your bitcoin
With Bitcoin you can **"Be your own bank"** and personally secure your bitcoin **OR** you can use third party companies aka **"Bitcoin banks"** which will hold your bitcoin for you.
* If you prefer to **"Be your own bank"** and have direct control over your coins without having to use a trusted third party, then you will need to create your own wallet and keep it secure. If you want easy and secure storage without having to learn best computer security practices, then a hardware wallet such as a [BitBox02](https://bitbox.swiss/bitbox02/), [Trezor](https://www.trezor.io/), [ColdCard](https://coldcardwallet.com/), or [Blockstream Jade](https://blockstream.com/jade/) is recommended. You can even build your own open source hardware wallets called a [SeedSigner](https://seedsigner.com/) or [Krux](https://selfcustody.github.io/krux/).
* If you cannot afford a hardware wallet there are many [software wallet](https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet) options to choose from depending on your use case. Mobile wallets like [BlueWallet](https://bluewallet.io/) are generally more secure than desktop wallets. Beware of fake mobile wallets and check reviews from reputable Bitcoin websites. Avoid paper wallets or brain wallets.
* If you prefer to work with third party **"Bitcoin banks"** to set up a collaborative custody arrangement, try [Unchained Capital](https://unchained-capital.com/) but be aware that any third party you use exposes you to third party risk. There is a saying in the community, **"Not your keys, not your coins"**.
**Note: For increased security, use Two Factor Authentication (2FA) everywhere it is offered, including email!**
2FA requires a second confirmation code or a physical security key to access your account making it much harder for thieves to gain access. Google Authenticator and Authy are the two most popular 2FA services, download links are below. Make sure you create backups of your 2FA codes.
**Avoid using your cell number for 2FA.** Hackers have been using a technique called "SIM swapping" to impersonate users and steal bitcoin off exchanges.
Google Auth | Authy | OTP Auth
--------------|--------|------------
[Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.authenticator2) | [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.authy.authy&hl=en) | N/A
[iOS](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/google-authenticator/id388497605?mt=8) | [iOS](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/authy/id494168017) | [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/otp-auth/id659877384) |
Physical security keys (FIDO U2F) offer stronger security than Google Auth / Authy and other TOTP-based apps, because the secret code never leaves the device and it uses bi-directional authentication so it prevents phishing. If you lose the device though, you could lose access to your account, so always use 2 or more security keys with a given account so you have backups. See [Yubikey](https://yubikey.com/) or [Titan](https://cloud.google.com/titan-security-key) to purchase security keys.
## Running Bitcoin
You can run [Bitcoin node](https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/18736/what-is-a-bitcoin-node) software by downloading and installing [Bitcoin Core](https://bitcoincore.org) or other node software you have vetted.
It is a best practice to verify these Bitcoin node programs you download by [checking their hashes and signatures](https://youtu.be/U0I-ImS_r8o?si=qa_gRyGPuRZq5acM).
Don't Trust, Verify.
* https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/releases
* https://bitcoincore.org
* https://bitcoin.org/en/bitcoin-core/
A verified Bitcoin node running on your own hardware is your sovereign gateway to the Bitcoin network. They can be used alongside open source software [wallets](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Wallet) to send and receive Bitcoin securely. By running your own Bitcoin node, you enforce the Bitcoin ruleset, can verify transactions without trusted 3rd party middlemen, improve your Bitcoin privacy, obtain independence with local access to blockchain data, and help bolster the robustness of the Bitcoin network. By running a Bitcoin node, you are verifying that Bitcoin is Bitcoin for yourself. For more details on running a Bitcoin node see [this article](https://unchained.com/blog/why-run-bitcoin-node/).
For wallets used alongside your Bitcoin node: If your Bitcoin wallet software is fully [open source](https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/80111/is-bitcoin-completely-open-source/80115#80115) and Bitcoin-only, then it is probably a decent wallet. Some popular examples include [sparrow wallet](https://sparrowwallet.com/) and [electrum wallet](https://electrum.org/), both of which you can connect to your own locally run Bitcoin node, and use with most Bitcoin Hardware Wallets.
## Watch out for scams
As mentioned above, Bitcoin is decentralized, which by definition means there is no official website or Twitter handle or spokesperson or CEO. However, all money attracts thieves. This combination unfortunately results in scammers running official sounding names or pretending to be an authority on YouTube or social media. Many scammers throughout the years have claimed to be the inventor of Bitcoin. Websites like bitcoin(dot)com and the r / btc subreddit are active scams. Almost all altcoins are marketed heavily with big promises but are really just designed to separate you from your bitcoin. So be careful: any resource, including all linked in this document, may in the future turn evil. As they say in our community, **"Don't trust, verify"**.
* Avoid using ad-based search engines like Google or Yahoo: ads are shown based on how much the advertiser bids, and scammers can easily outbid legitimate providers for ad space, since immoral ways of earning money are far more lucrative than moral ways. Use [DuckDuckGo](https://duckduckgo.com/) instead, which has no ads, and never tracks you as well.
* Ignore private messages offering services.
* **Never enter your seed words in a website of any kind.** Hardware wallets will recover by displaying possible seed words on their own interface, never on a website.
* **Always check addresses on your hardware wallet before sending or receiving.** Some malware has been known to replace addresses in your web browser or that you copy-and-paste.
* Avoid clicking on links like that look like links, such as [https://www.google.com/](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ybW48rKBME), without first hovering over it and actually checking where they go to. Just because a link is labelled with an HTTPS address does not mean it actually sends you to that address. It is trivial for someone to comment a link on Reddit that looks like it will send you to one website when it actually sends you to another, and you might not notice the difference until a scammer has gotten all your money, or you have downloaded and installed software that steals your money.

## Can I mine bitcoin?
Mining bitcoin can be a fun learning experience, but be aware that you will most likely operate at a loss. Newcomers are often advised to stay away from mining unless they are only interested in it as a hobby similar to [folding at home](https://foldingathome.org/?lng=en). If you want to learn more about mining you can read the [mining FAQ](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Faq#Mining). Still have mining questions? The crew at /r/BitcoinMining would be happy to help you out.
If you want to contribute to the Bitcoin network by hosting the blockchain and propagating transactions there are many [great resources](https://raspibolt.org/) you can use to [run a full node](https://river.com/learn/how-to-run-a-bitcoin-node/). You can view the global distribution of reachable Bitcoin nodes on [this webpage.](https://bitnodes.io/nodes/live-map/)

## Bitcoin Units
One bitcoin is worth quite a lot (thousands of £/$/€), so people often deal in smaller units. The most common subunits are listed below:
Unit | Symbol | Value | Info
---|:---:|---|---
bitcoin | BTC | 1 bitcoin | one bitcoin is equal to 100 million satoshis
millibitcoin | mBTC | 1,000 per bitcoin | used as default unit in Electrum wallet
bit | μBTC | 1,000,000 per bitcoin | colloquial "slang" term for microbitcoin
satoshi | sat | 100,000,000 per bitcoin | smallest unit in bitcoin, named after the inventor
For example, assuming an arbitrary exchange rate of $10,000 for one bitcoin, a $10 meal would equal:
* 0.001 BTC
* 1 mBTC
* 1,000 bits
* 100,000 sats
For more information check out the [bitcoin units wiki](https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinWiki/wiki/bitcoin_units).

Been stacking sats for a while, mostly as a long-term thing, but decided to cash out a small portion and treat myself. Felt weird at first (like I was betraying the HODL mindset 😅), but at the same time it’s cool to see crypto being *useful* in real life.

About 90% of this was recycled from scrap, at a cost of only tens of dollars per oz, so only about 33t of new gold was needed. In 2024, mine production was about 3,700t, meaning that less than 1% of this was needed for industry. All above-ground gold currently used for value-storage (jewelry, bars, coins) amounts to about 184,000t. If suddenly gold was no longer wanted for jewelry, bars and coins, and global supply was redirected to industrial needs not met by recycling, we would have a 5,600 year supply available at current consumption rates without needing to dig any more out of the ground, at a tiny fraction of the current price. | Centmo | r/Bitcoin | 93 | 66 | 2025-06-01T21:23:06.772983 |

Does he have any chance of recovery? | For context, my brother is a bit of an airhead. I think he may have bought this from the context of purchasing illegal things and totally forgot about it.
After years of debt, mistakes and substance abuse, he’s back living with my mum and actually made the attempt to check his email for this bitcoin he always talked about “jokingly” at family events and found that - “hey, that did actually happen? It did!”
Basically, he purchased about $120 or so worth of BTC in a peer to peer deal. This person he purchased from appeared to be a trusted source and from his email chains, he was sent the wallet number but no secret pin (maybe). This was in Australia between 2011-2012.
Now, I’ve tried to help him search the secret pin in his emails and he is adamant of “let’s just email the guy!” - he checked the wallet and all of the money is still there. He kind of won’t listen to the prompts I keep telling him to search…
I just need to know - is this legitimate? If my brother did get a secret pin, how do they usually send it (in 2011-2012) and do you think he was scammed back then? I’ve seen the transaction history and he absolutely did transfer money to this guy. And from what I’ve seen, this guy did honest business regarding Bitcoin.
If this is real… his life is changed forever. But IS is actually real or this a long line of scams that have happened to multiple people? | Waste-Arrival9015 | r/Bitcoin | 302 | 79 | 2025-06-01T21:23:06.773008 |

How do I maximize my savings without putting my day-to-day in financial strain by over-investing in BTC?
* direct deposit bi-weekly to credit union
* predictable monthly spends: mortgage, daycare, utilities, groceries
* unpredictable spend: family stuff
* $15/day DCA into BTC
* E\*Trade brokerage account w/ stocks and high-paying dividends, considering dumping completely into BTC and forgetting it
more words but same thing:
I'm orange pilled so no need to convince me on "why bitcoin". I get paid direct deposit bi-weekly, plus commissions when I make sales. All fiat goes to my credit union, then gets auto-transferred bi-weekly to joint accounts to cover family expenses like mortgage + daycares + groceries and other living expenses. It's hard to predict my monthly spend beyond mortgage + daycare + utilities, so the idea of only keeping "what i need" in fiat is very tough. I am extremely bullish long-term in bitcoin. I don't care about the idea of buying things like Steak N Shake in bitcoin, because i dont want to spend my bitcoin on steaks or shakes. I also have a fairly sizeable Brokerage account where I invest in a variety of stocks and high-paying dividends, and considering dumping all that into Bitcoin. I also DCA $15/day into BTC. | CatButtHoleYo | r/Bitcoin | 22 | 22 | 2025-06-01T21:23:06.773119 |

I’ve been stacking sats consistently, and now that I’m about to start a full-time job, I’ve allocated a portion of my salary to keep buying BTC weekly. My goal is to accumulate as much Bitcoin as possible for retirement and to pass it on to future generations as a legacy.
I’m super bullish on BTC long-term, but I’m struggling to wrap my head around how I’ll actually use this wealth in the future. I get that the more BTC I hold, the greater my net worth on paper, but I’m confused about realizing those gains. I’ve heard Michael Saylor talk about “never selling,” which resonates with me, but how does that work practically?
Here are my main questions:
• Is borrowing against my BTC (like using it as collateral for loans) the main way to access its value without selling? How does that work, and what are the risks?
• Will I eventually have to sell some BTC to use the money, or is the idea to hold until global adoption makes BTC a common currency for everyday purchases?
• For those planning to use BTC for retirement or generational wealth, how are you thinking about accessing its value decades from now?

I've been saving Bitcoin on my Trezor for the past year, and I've always been deeply interested in security—especially in cases of kidnapping or extortion. I'm a programmer, and I've been brainstorming ways to mitigate those risks. I'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions.
Here’s what I’ve come up with so far:
* Maintain **two wallets**: one for long-term savings, and another for medium-term access.
* The **long-term wallet** would have a passphrase that’s a randomly generated 20-character string, stored **encrypted** inside an app (an app I’ve built myself).
* To access that passphrase, I’ve thought of a few options:
**Option 1**: The passphrase becomes available only after **3 months**, during which the app sends your **live location every 10 minutes** to your emergency contacts. Since the funds are intended for long-term savings, waiting 3 months to unlock them seems like a reasonable safeguard.
**Option 2**: Require **facial recognition at a specific physical location**. For example, you’d have to go to a known public place—like the cathedral downtown—and scan your face there to access the passphrase.
These two methods are designed to prevent *me* from being coerced during a kidnapping.
But to prevent access in the event of a **family kidnapping**, I’ve thought of the following:
* The passphrase is revealed **only** if facial recognition matches **you, your spouse, and your children**, all at a pre-defined location.
* Alternatively, if that’s not possible, access is allowed—but only **after a 2-year delay**.
Now, some of you may say it's unsafe to store a passphrase, even encrypted, in an app or on a server. Honestly, I don’t think that’s a big concern—especially if the actual 12 seed words are on a metal plate somewhere.
What do you think?

- The Price of Tomorrow
- The Creature from Jekyll Island (not a Bitcoin book, I know, but still feels relevant)

- Principles of Economics (Carl Menger)
- Principles of Economics (Saifedean Ammous)
- Bitcoin is Venice
- The Genesis Book
- Man, Economy and the State
- History of Money and Banking in the U.S.
- The 6 Lessons
- Human Action
- Everything Divided by 21 million

This is Spencer Woodman, I’m a reporter with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, a nonprofit news organization based in Washington, D.C. I'm working on a story about cryptocurrency platforms being used by scammers and other criminals. And as a part of this story, we're speaking with people around the world who have lost money to cryptocurrency fraud schemes. In cases where there are cryptocurrency wallets connected with scammers, we're interested in examining which services ultimately received funds, when possible.

The items included prison memorabilia, artwork, and personal effects, with his final prison ID card fetching 5.5 BTC. The auction was held on Scarce City, where bidders had to deposit 1% of their bid as collateral.
This news comes as Ulbricht may also have access to millions of dollars in dormant Bitcoin, with approximately 430 BTC (valued at around $47 million) remaining in wallets tied to him.

This move comes at a time when market sentiment is wavering due to volatility in both crypto and traditional stock markets.
**Key Points:**
* BlackRock's purchase signals strong institutional confidence in Ethereum.
* ETH was trading at approximately $3,800 on May 31, 2025, with a modest 2.1% decline over the prior 24 hours.
* Institutional inflows into crypto ETFs, such as BlackRock's iShares Ethereum Trust, saw a 10% increase in holdings on May 31, 2025.
* Stock market declines, such as the S&P 500's 1.2% drop on May 30, 2025, often correlate with reduced risk appetite in crypto.
* However, institutional moves like BlackRock's ETH buy may decouple specific assets from broader trends, creating selective opportunities for traders.
For traders, this development presents a dual opportunity: capitalize on short-term ETH price bounces near support levels while monitoring stock market recovery signals for broader risk-on sentiment. | CriticalCobraz | r/CryptoCurrency | 59 | 6 | 2025-06-01T21:23:07.502459 |

Despite this, most still think we have 5 years before there is significant risk. Good, right?
Well Taproot took 3 years
With No Debates
It was an improvement that added value
And backward compatible
You didn't even need to know it happened
Adding Post Quantum Cryptography faces major pushback
It already has several disagreements
Slows down the chain
And could have a 6 month backlog of transfers to protected wallets.
Plus we need wallet software to upgrade along with it.
I'm obviously not optimistic. But let's say they do progress and actually upgrade in 3-5 years. And I think since it just serving as store of value, we can accept the slowdown.
But will we still allow vulnerable keys to be taken.
Will people wait out the transfer backlog?
I think quite a few investors will move to safety and see how it plays out. And if people think others will move to safety, they'll try to get ahead of it. That creates significant downward pressure.
All these reasons are why this upgrade will continue to be pushed aside imo.
If we got ahead of this, and let people slowly transition, it would reduce any panic scenario, spread out transfers, and give the ecosystem time to adjust.
Some like Hunter Beast and Jameson Lopp are trying to raise awareness, but for all these reasons above, this needs to be the first and only priority.
It's not a narrative, it's a requirement.
We have NIST approved standards
They are telling ALL SYSTEMS to begin implementing this.
I learned about this threat years ago from following qanplatform (still invested). It seemed premature to focus on it, but I aligned with the greater vision for how to leverage blockchain for business utility. Now it appears they were correct in their assessment. All chains need to sort this out or they will be considered not secure. | Original-Assistant-8 | r/CryptoCurrency | 74 | 49 | 2025-06-01T21:23:07.502498 |

Monero (XMR) is the privacy coin that flips off the surveillance state.
Monero is hated by the IRS, EU, and basically every regulator because it’s actually private. No one can see your transactions or link them to you if you use it correctly. Exchanges like Kraken, Binance and others delist it because of government pressure.
But the more they ban it, the more people find out about it—classic Streisand Effect.
Here’s the easiest way to get XMR in my opinion, I'll be name dropping the services I use here but DYOR of course.
1. Buy Litecoin (LTC) from wherever you normally buy crypto, probably a centralised exchange (cheap and fast transactions).
2. Use trocador.app to swap LTC for XMR.
3. Send your XMR to a subaddress in your Monero wallet.
I use Cake Wallet for this. Subaddresses are just separate “receive” addresses that all go into the same wallet. Cake makes it easy to create them and keep track.
Why bother with all this?
Total privacy. No one sees your transactions.
You probably fell off a boat at some point, or gambled it away on decentralised exchanges, so as far as the taxman knows, you don't hold any Monero.
It's pretty much the only CryptoCurrency that's actually used for buying things - Dark Web Markets. Now we know bitcoin is traceable, most sellers on these platforms prefer XMR. You might not use the dark web, but it's like ebay for illegal shit like weed, except your dealer has reviews like on ebay. These markets are not going away.
If Bitcoin ever went fully private like Monero, it’d be game over for financial surveillance. But for now, XMR is the best bet for those of us who don’t want the government in our wallet.
Have you used XMR? What’s your setup? Any advice for newcomers? Do you prefer another privacy coin? What percentage of your portfolio is privacy coins?

If someone can help me with an EL5 way to successfully get my refund and/or rescue the 1 ETH still stuck in [Ether.Li](http://Ether.Li), I will send a good tip to whatever ETH address you send to my DMs, and I'll leave the post up to help other people after that. Thanks in advance
So, I have a Private Key that opens up my Public address (starting with 0x68...) without any trouble. I have sent some ETH to and from it recently (less than $5 for gas) to confirm that this process works normally.
However, that address is also connected to a MultiSig Public address (starting with 0x83..) which is connected to the somewhat defunct website [Ether.Li](http://Ether.Li) which I can still log into, but all attempts to send transactions from that website cause the error message "Transaction request sent out with ID Missing/API Key." This prevents me from retrieving my 1 ETH which is still stuck in their website and I am also unable to activate a refund from the DAO.
I tried doing the DAO refund process in several ways using the first Public key I mentioned (which gives me full access to address 0x68...) but the tokens are held in the second address (0x83...) which I can't get into since it is shared MultiSig with that [Ether.Li](http://Ether.Li) website. The defunct site won't do the process of giving its authorization to complete a transaction or to process my attempts to remove it as a MultiSig. The website's Admins are not maintaining the website or responding to emails and tweets.
When I made the MultiSig account on Ether.Li, I did a print-out of the parameters supplied to make the contract, which has a User Key address (0x68...), a Backup Key address (which is exactly the same as the first address, 0x68...), and the Ether.Li address (0x71...). Below that is printed my Wallet Public Address (0x83...) and then the Backup Private Key.
So, I think I need to figure out how to safely remove the defunct website from having MultiSig authorization without losing the DAO tokens that would be refunded from address (0x83...), right? The big problem is the [Ether.Li](http://Ether.Li) website seems to have created address (0x83...) as a MultiSig address without giving anyone, including the customer (me), a way to log directly into that specific address, which I assume is to prevent anyone from getting into it and doing things without the website's MultiSig authorization.
For background info on what I have already done to try to solve the problem myself: I tried signing into MyEtherWallet for address (0x68...) to have the DAO contract "Transfer" the DAO tokens between my User Key Address (0x68...) and the Wallet Public Address (0x83...) which I had hoped would happen since the addresses are connected, but that didn't work. I also tried using the MyEtherWallet contract interactions in (0x68...) to request the DAO refund be sent into address (0x83...) and I hoped that if the refund arrived into (0x83...) then I would work to fix the [Ether.Li](http://Ether.Li) website's ID Missing/API Key problem, but the DAO token refund did not work. Instead, the DAO refund amount/balance disappeared from Etherscan's method of checking the token's balance and then about 24 hours later it bounced back into being visible again. Honestly, I'm glad that option didn't work because I don't know how or where to insert the API key I made for that purpose, or if I could rescue anything from that website anyway. | HalcyonCEO | r/ethereum | 2 | 1 | 2025-06-01T21:23:07.929880 |

Is the fragmentation between L2s creating more confusion for average users? Are we moving toward an "L2-first" Ethereum, or is there still a strong case for using the L1 directly?
Curious to hear what others think.

Let’s break down what it means, why it matters, and how it changes the beacon chain forever👇 | 1/6 **What is EIP-7917?**
It’s an Ethereum proposal that makes the block proposer schedule fully deterministic, meaning we’ll know, ahead of time, exactly who is proposing each block.
2/6 **Right now, proposer schedules are partly unpredictable.**
Ethereum uses RANDAO, a built-in randomness source, to fairly assign validators to propose blocks and perform other duties on the Beacon Chain.
Even though RANDAO seeds are known in advance, sudden changes in validator balances can shift who becomes proposer, even at the last second.
That unpredictability causes problems.
3/6 **EIP-7917 fixes it. How does it work?**
At the start of each epoch, Ethereum creates a list called proposer\_lookahead showing which validators will propose blocks for the current and upcoming epochs.
When a new epoch starts, the list updates by removing old proposers and adding new ones.
This list is stored on-chain, so smart contracts can easily see who proposes next, making confirmations faster and more reliable. Simple, yet brilliant!
4/6 **Why it matters?**
• It boosts Layer 2 solutions by making preconfirmation protocols simpler and more reliable, which supercharges based rollups.
• Predictable proposer schedule.
• Cleaner design: Resolves a long-standing beacon chain inconsistency.
5/6 **Connection with other EIPs.**
**EIP-7917** is joining seven other EIPs in the lineup. It’ll debut in the fusaka-devnet-1 release, set to launch June 9.
Devs call it a “minimal lift” with outsized impact, just 22 lines of spec code to unlock all these goodies.
6/6 **Ethereum is evolving fast. Fusaka is just one more step.**
Ethereum just keeps getting better. EIP-7917 is the kind of upgrade that makes Ethereum feel more complete.
What do you want to see fixed or improved next?

Sharing a draft EIP I’ve been working on: **ERC-7866**, which proposes a way to represent on-chain decentralized profiles as soulbound NFTs with rich metadata, delegation, and staking support.
It’s meant to act as a foundational standard for identity in Ethereum and L2s which is minimal by design, compatible with existing DID specs, and focused on composability.
Potential use-cases include:
* DAO contributor identities
* Game avatars or XP profiles
* Wallet usernames with on-chain context
* Compliance-aware attestations (with optional staking)
The proposal is early-stage and open to iteration. Feedback is welcome, especially from people building DID systems, wallet infra, or cross-chain identity tools.

I have unrealized returns that have sat around -15% basically ever since.
In the meantime Solana and Bitcoin have done well.
I got into Eth because of the programmable contracts, but to my knowledge nobody cares about Eth because it still has high gas fees and the transaction speed is really slow. I remember paying $80 to get USDC into a staking service during the 2021 boom cycle.
Basically is Eth completely unusable, and if so when is that changing? Where can I read updates? I thought the staking protocol was going to fix everything, give us rollups, minimal gas fees, fast transactions, etc. | Higgsy420 | r/ethereum | 0 | 27 | 2025-06-01T21:23:07.930149 |

Instead of lawyers? | So a lot of people do have binge spending issues, shopping addictions, compulsive spending etc.. and lawyers charge a ridiculous amount / fees for this type of service (like a Trust, not sure what else) - been thinking..
I know nothing about smart contracts and what they’re capable of but I have been thinking of ways to set up something for when I die that could automate paying some people but monthly, to where no one can modify it. I guess technically I wouldn’t need a smart contract, just some servers that are unlikely to kill my vm’s. Automate with a timer sending crypto out monthly, pay the server company a lot ahead of time or just put enough funds in an account no one knows about to make sure it’ll keep running. But lots can go wrong, hacking, accidental bad updates or crashes etc.. have backups maybe, with code that runs after the main one was supposed to run to check if it is working and sending funds.
Would there be a way to do this with crypto where I wouldn’t need to worry about having specific servers running?
I am not planning on dying anytime soon :) but I like to plan things and lots of people I’d want my money going to seem to not be able to calm down and just not buy stuff when they get money. | wuu73 | r/ethereum | 57 | 38 | 2025-06-01T21:23:07.930162 |

What is it and why does it matter? | **1/5 What is FOCIL?**
FOCIL stands for Fork-Choice Enforced Inclusion Lists, a new proposal EIP-7805 from Ethereum researcher soispoke.
It gives validators more power to ensure valid transactions get included in blocks, strengthening Ethereum’s censorship resistance.
**2/5** **Why shift power to validators?**
Today, block builders decide which transactions make it into blocks.
With FOCIL, validators can enforce inclusion of valid transactions, making it harder for builders to exclude them. This rebalances power in Ethereum’s block production process.
**3/5 How users benefit?**
FOCIL improves the user experience by enabling:
✅ Stronger censorship resistance.
✅ Fairer inclusion of transactions.
✅ Faster confirmations.
✅ More trust in block production.
**4/5** **Where FOCIL stands today?**
It’s already implemented by six Ethereum client teams, running on devnets, undergoing active testing, and open to community feedback.
A proposal in progress, and a strong contender for Ethereum’s next major upgrade.
**5/5** **The heart of Glamsterdam**
Every Ethereum upgrade has a defining feature.
For Glamsterdam, the post-Fusaka fork, that spotlight now shines on FOCIL.
By reinforcing credible neutrality and rebalancing power from centralized builders back to validators, FOCIL marks a turning point.
It’s not just a technical improvement. It’s a statement of values.
A step toward a more open, resilient, and censorship-resistant Ethereum. | irina_everstake | r/ethereum | 5 | 0 | 2025-06-01T21:23:07.930252 |

# 🎓 Blueshift
Blueshift has launched a set of in-depth, hands-on courses to teach developers how to build programs on the Solana blockchain.
Blueshift is a leading Solana development shop that has contributed to launches such as Virtuals, 10K, and the Solana Registry Service. The studio’s work funds its learning platform which supports the growing influx of Solana developers and strengthens the ecosystem.
Blueshift’s Solana courses are organized into chapters and hands-on projects. The content is structured to gradually introduce core concepts, starting from fundamental Solana account handling to advanced program logic and security considerations.
The initial set of courses include:
1. **Pinocchio Vault:** Developers build a vault program using the Pinocchio library that enables developers to write high-performance programs without relying on frameworks.
2. **Anchor Vault:** An introductory module designed to teach developers how to build a basic vault program on Solana using the Anchor framework.
3. **Anchor Escrow:** Introduces developers to building a non-custodial escrow program on Solana using the Anchor framework.
More courses are planned and will be released over time. All course materials are open source, encouraging adaptation and community contributions.

# 💬 Farcaster Solana Integration
Farcaster has introduced Solana wallet integration letting users launch games, token markets, or other Solana miniapps from inside the Farcaster interface.
Last year Farcaster first allowed Solana address verification. A user could link a wallet in Warpcast, Farcaster’s main client. Frames, the platform’s mini-app format, could then read that address and carry out basic actions like minting NFTs without leaving the feed.
This new integration allows users to open Solana mini-apps, token markets, and games right inside Farcaster.
For developers the change creates one identity that includes the user’s Solana address alongside any other supported chains. Frames can embed actions such as mint, swap, or vote directly in the social timeline, reducing the need for extra pop-ups or site changes.
[**Farcaster now supports Solana**](https://x.com/farcaster_xyz/status/1925613335871164865?ref=blog.colosseum.org)
# 🤝 Solana Attestation Service
Solana Attestation Service is a new open-source protocol that brings verifiable credentials to Solana that lets trusted issuers attach off-chain information such as KYC status, geographic eligibility, or investor accreditation to any Solana wallet through signed attestations that can be reused across apps without exposing sensitive data.
With a single SDK call, an application can accept or reject a wallet based on these attestations instead of running its own verification flow or storing personal information.
This neutral layer supports compliance, access control, on-chain reputation, and other identity functions while keeping user data private and portable.
Early use cases include KYC passports that satisfy regulation once and work on many platforms, region-based gates for asset drops, proofs of uniqueness for airdrops or governance, accreditation checks for real-world asset markets, DAO reputation badges, and device or location proofs for DePIN networks.
SAS launches with backing from Civic, Solana ID, Solid, [RNS.ID](http://RNS.ID), Honeycomb, and other partners that are adding attestations to their products or ingesting them into analytics and security tools.
Developers can start by installing the [SAS SDK](https://github.com/solana-foundation/solana-attestation-service?ref=blog.colosseum.org) and following reference schemas on the official site.
By separating trust from application logic, the service lowers regulatory risk and user friction while giving wallets a single set of credentials that works everywhere.

# Solana Crossroads
In this episode Colosseum cofounder Matty Tay shares an insightful journey into the world of hackathons and their critical role in fostering innovation within the Solana ecosystem.
He explores the historical roots of innovation competitions, from ancient patronage systems and Napoleon’s Voltaire Prize to modern-day challenges like DARPA’s Grand Challenge, illustrating how open competitions have long driven breakthroughs.
Matty details how Colosseum organizes large-scale, multi-week hackathons that go beyond the traditional brief 24-48 hour events, encouraging the creation of sustainable products and startups on the Solana blockchain.
He highlights the ecosystem’s success, noting that 80% of all VC-backed Solana startups originated from hackathons, collectively valued at around $20 billion in market cap.
The episode also covers Colosseum's accelerator program and venture fund, which invest heavily in promising projects to help them transition from prototypes to fully-fledged companies, providing legal, technical, and go-to-market support.
Matty discusses the importance of community-building tools, such as their platform for finding co-founders and sharing ideas before hackathons start, emphasizing the power of collaboration in startup success.

Decided to ape into something that looked spicy…
Long story short: bought high, held too long, and now I’m down 80%.
The UI was actually pretty clean though. Not sure if anyone else tried Prerich yet? Curious what others think not many Solana apps feel this snappy on mobile tbh. | sara733 | r/solana | 5 | 5 | 2025-06-01T21:23:08.726317 |

I’ve looked through Moralis, GeckoTerminal, and public Solana RPCs, but I haven’t found any API that gives a complete list of [Pump.fun](http://Pump.fun) → PumpSwap tokens, especially ones that are now inactive.
This is partly thesis-related, so I’m willing to go deep and build infrastructure if needed.
Any advice on where to start or if someone’s already done this? | Wild-Respect-6803 | r/solana | 1 | 7 | 2025-06-01T21:23:08.726345 |
