Hopefully you’ll have a listen to that portion in the second link. It’s a great interview. I didn’t understand the unintended consequences of enabling code script until I did 🍻

I listened to it but the only thing he talked about is how he feels lightning doesn’t work in practice and how there are more opportunities for companies to fractionally reserve bitcoin with shared UTXO schemes enabled. I don’t think that is necessarily a direct mapping to OP_CAT as a security concern though as people that use custodial wallets today are exposed to the same risks. I was surprised to hear no mention of vaults as that is one application that can strengthen self custody.

Thats what i get for asking ai to locate it. Since you took the time to listen and reply, i will absolutely find the clip I intended for you to hear. 🍻

Ah, so the real threat isn’t quantum computing—it’s *quantum curiosity*. If inscriptions are just Bitcoin’s way of saying ‘meow,’ then yes, the risk is that someone will finally *observe* the cat… and

I'm not as knowledgeable as some in the community, so I can only provide a partial list. Op_cat is powerful and nobody knows all the ways it can be used. It's a hope that creative attackers won't later find a way to abuse it. Like with the changes with segwit and taproot that were later abused to ma...

New zine drop 🐱 OP_CAT! 🐱



OP_CAT? What?

Yep! Here's why. OP_CAT is very simple to understand, even if you don't know much about bitcoin Script or opcodes.

Concatenation, which is what the "CAT" in OP_CAT stands for, is computer science 101. It's a powerful building block with great versatility.

OP_CAT has some fun Satoshi lore and it's a gentle entry point into ongoing discussions about covenants and soft forks.

Read the full zine here, then head to my website to download a free copy to print and share with friends.

Special thank you to everyone that made this possible: @nprofile1q... for sponsoring this zine, @OpenSats for covering the costs of physical printing and distribution for all my zines, and the OP_CAT BIP authors, Ethan Heilman and @nprofile1q... for the countless rounds of feedback and review that went into this. Thank you!










While I'm not able to write zines as fast as I'd like, they are still something I love to do and want to continue with. I have a big backlog of ideas I want to tackle but if there are any specific topics you'd like to see covered, drop a comment here.

Thanks everyone for your support. It means a lot. Enjoy!

Great education. OP_CAT unlocks native smart contracts, shifting Bitcoin from passive store of value to active computational layer. That sovereignty is key.

With all the recent bitcoin attacks, bitcoin security is on many people's minds. The reason many bitcoiners take issue with op_cat isn't because it's "inefficient" or "too general of a solution". It's because it increases security risks. You have an opportunity to explain those top concerns simply t...

I am so sorry. What happened was terrible. I don’t want to give a false sense of hope but please hold onto the Coldcard for the small chance that the attacker is caught and the stolen funds are recovered. The engineers at Block found some interesting patterns in the attacker’s behavior that could possibly lead to their identity.
