This is what Nostr shitpos... err, I mean "Proof of Work" and a Bitcoin circular economy looks like. At our weekly happy hour, we have a free Bitcoin/Nostr swag table.

Our swag table has been looking really sparse as of late:


I took all of the zaps I've received for the last year and forwarded them over to @NoWasteBTCsigns who hooked it up! Look at all of this ooey, gooey Bitcoin goodness:

Looking forward to looking at all of the newest drops tonight!

Just finished up the Vegas Bitcoiners Week In Review for tonight's happy hour. Pretty diverse set of news headlines over the last 7 days. What do you think was the biggest $BTC headline this week?

Watched Schwab's CEO talk about launching their Bitcoin buying. Now they've since announced they will be undercutting everyone on fees and will be offering teen accounts. If their spreads are competitive, Coinbase and other exchanges could be in trouble.

I know Bitcoiners don't like it, but 2026 is going to be the year of tradfi really showing up to Bitcoin. We've now had 3 major banks announce Bitcoin initiatives, products or services in the last couple weeks between this and the Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs ETF products.

Even if you don't have the time to consume the whole thing, reading the "15 Top Takeaways" from Stanford's Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence department is time well spent. Will be interesting to see how the industry tackles the physical roadblocks that are in the way -- namely hardware manufacturing and energy constraints.
