I got 3 figures from $PTB portal to bitcoin by just yapping

After Portal to Bitcoin $PTB got listed on several exchanges. I got about 3 figures from it, including the the few extra tokens I got from bitget poolX and launchpool event.

its about 4 days now so I think I cool enough to talk about the project.

In case you don’t know, this is a project that focuses on swapping between Bitcoin blockchain and other blockchains. And they reward active Kaito yappers some have been with them for almost a year, but it finally paid off.
and phase 2 is about to drop

So guys, Kaito still pays, and if you didn’t participate in this one, you can still try another project. for me I am just starting, I believe the meta is still there.

A non-tribal conversation about OP_RETURN, Inscriptions, Core and Knots?

Hoping this is a space where we can have a non-politically charged conversation about the OP_RETURN debate and hash out the actual results of what Core 30 will bring.

Background: I was at Bitcoin++ in Austin back in May 2025 and was present when Peter Todd, Shinobi, BitcoinMechanic, Luke Dashjr, Matt Corallo, Gloria Zhao, Peter Wuille, Jameson Lopp, and various other relevant people in the Bitcoin space were present and debating the intended change to OP_RETURN. There was an Oxford-Style debate amongst a cadre of those listed above and others on the pros and cons of the planned change. There was also a panel of Core devs on the last day of the conference that got on stage and talked about their decisions around the OP_RETURN change. All-in-all it was civil and professional but there was a real undercurrent of tribalism, distrust and anger in the room all throughout. It eventually devolved into a few of the Core devs literally wearing red baseball caps with "Core" on them and other folks wearing yellow baseball caps with "Knots". It seemed childish at the time... Since that event I've listened to like 20 long form podcasts on the topic, read numerous articles, boned up on the technical details of the Bitcoin protocol via books like Mastering Bitcoin and sites like learnmeabitcoin, participated in various arguments in r/Bitcoin and in the YouTube comments of relevant videos and gone round and round with ChatGPT. I've changed my mind like 50 times on which "side" is right. It has been exhausting!

Now: the current debate has reached the "won't you think of the children" phase of the community civil war. Knots crowd is accusing Core crowd of inviting CSAM on to the Bitcoin blockchain and Core folks are now threatening the wives of Knots folks and accusing them of being pedophiles. It's become completely toxic obviously...

Reason for the post: I was right on the cusp of swapping out my Core node for a Knots node when I went one more round with ChatGPT and now I've changed my mind again. During this entire debate the main messaging from Core has been that people don't understand the technical details related to their reasons for removing the OP_RETURN limit and deprecating the ability to configure the limit in your node's relay policy so they should just shut up and move on with their lives. I've found this to be a douchy tact but maybe it was right after all.

Here is my attempt to explain what they apparently meant but could never quite communicate clearly.

They fucked up when they introduced Taproot in 2021 by allowing inscriptions. Inscriptions allow a single data chunk to be included in a transaction that is only limited by the size of a block, 4MB, and it gets a 75% discount on fees by dent of it being included in the witness portion of a transaction. This is at the consensus level and is completely valid. There is no need to go to a miner out of band to have it included in a block. This means that since 2021 anyone can put anything they want, up to 4MB per block, on the Bitcoin blockchain. Full stop.

This, in my view, invalidates all of the spam arguments being made by the Knots side of the debate. Regardless of the details of the changes to OP_RETURN, all of the spam arguments are irrelevant considering there already is and has been a much better and MUCH cheaper way to embed spam on the blockchain.

Once you understand a little more about OP_RETURN and the fact that at the consensus level there is already a 10KB limit on the contents of OP_RETURN it really brings the issue into relief. It really is just a code clean up and removal of an unnecessary and ineffective irritant for that code to be used for other things that could use OP_RETURN that helps the ecosystem grow. Namely using it as the commitment layer for other tools and side chains etc.

What I want: Someone to tell me I'm an idiot. Help me change my mind AGAIN please. Make it make sense.

What I ask: Let's try to have a non-tribal, non-political, non-religous, non-kiddiepornaccusation discussion about the debate in hopes of coming to an agreement on the best course of action moving forward.

Bitcoin mining difficulty hit 134.7T even as hashrate dropped — miners getting squeezed, what does this mean for price?

bitcoin mining difficulty just set another all time high at 134.7 trillion. what’s odd is this happened while the total hashrate actually slipped from over 1 trillion h/s in early august to about 967 billion today.

so we’re looking at fewer hashes securing the network but a tougher environment for miners. that means margins are getting destroyed. smaller miners with higher energy costs are basically being forced out, while the big corporate operations with cheap power and next-gen hardware dominate.

this raises two possible outcomes:

bullish supply squeeze : public miners and industrial-scale players tend to hoard more bitcoin rather than dump. if small miners are forced offline, the circulating supply hitting exchanges could shrink. that’s historically set the stage for price rallies.

bearish capitulation risk : at the same time, thin margins often push stressed miners to sell reserves to cover electricity and debt. we’ve seen in past cycles how waves of miner selling can trigger sharp corrections.

a fun twist: three solo miners still managed to hit blocks in july and august. one pocketed $373k with what was probably a tiny setup compared to giants. so the “underdog wins” story is still alive.

from a tax perspective, this miner shakeout is creating some wild situations. many smaller operations are having to liquidate btc holdings they've been sitting on for years, triggering massive capital gains events. some are scrambling with tools like awaken.tax to calculate the tax implications of selling mining rewards from different time periods at various cost bases. it's messy when you're forced to liquidate under pressure rather than planning strategic tax-loss harvesting.

what’s your take? does this difficulty spike mean bullish accumulation or another miner-driven correction coming soon?

What Events are Available for Crypto Prop Betting?

What Sports or Events can be Used for Crypto Prop Betting?

Crypto prop betting extends far beyond sports, with decentralized prediction markets covering a vast array of topics, from politics and entertainment to finance and world events. The core concept is that any event with a verifiable outcome can be turned into a market. 

Here are some of the other categories for crypto prop betting:

Politics and elections

Prediction markets gain significant traction during election cycles as they often provide a more accurate forecast of outcomes than traditional polls. 

• Examples:
  • 2024 Presidential Election: Market contracts for who would win the election, specific electoral college outcomes, and even what candidates might say during debates.
  • Government actions: Markets on whether a certain bill will pass by a specific deadline or if there will be a government shutdown.
  • International politics: Betting on the outcome of elections in other countries, like Norway's next Prime Minister. 

Finance and cryptocurrency

Traders and analysts use these markets to bet on and gauge sentiment around the future prices of crypto assets and the broader financial landscape. 

• Examples:
  • Crypto prices: Contracts on whether Bitcoin or Ethereum will reach a specific price target by a certain date.
  • Token launches: Bets on whether a new crypto token will launch by a deadline or whether an airdrop will occur.
  • Macroeconomic events: Markets on interest rate changes by central banks or the annual rate of inflation. 

Entertainment and pop culture

High-profile cultural events are a popular category for prop bets, with markets often appearing on platforms like Polymarket. 

• Examples:
  • Awards shows: Betting on the winner of an Oscar, Emmy, or Grammy award.
  • Celebrity news: Markets on specific celebrity actions, like whether Taylor Swift will get engaged by a certain date.
  • Streaming events: Wagering on outcomes of events in TV series or the performance of a new show. 

Esports

The intersection of gaming and crypto makes esports a natural fit for prediction markets.

• Examples:
  • Tournament outcomes: Wagering on the winner of a major tournament in games like Dota 2, Counter-Strike, or League of Legends.
  • Player performance: Prop bets on the performance of a specific player within an esports match. 

Science and technology

These contracts can offer a way to bet on scientific breakthroughs or technological milestones.

• Examples:
  • Space exploration: Markets on whether a private space company will achieve a specific mission objective by a certain date.
  • AI development: Betting on milestones in the development of artificial intelligence, such as whether a new model will be released or banned.
  • Company milestones: A contract asking whether a company like Tesla will launch a new product like a driverless Robotaxi service by a specific deadline. 

World events and news

Broader geopolitical events and news-driven stories also feature on prediction markets, allowing users to bet on outcomes and measure public perception.

• Examples:
  • Geopolitics: Contracts on ceasefire agreements or potential military engagements.
  • Social issues: A market might ask if a court case will be decided by a specific date or if a major social trend will evolve in a certain way
