Episode notes
In this Bitcast live roundup you'll see exactly what the Satoshi-era wallet move means, with $1.7 million in untouched gains sitting since 2014. You'll hear Michael Saylor explain how Bitcoin reserve support just crossed party lines after the midterms — a Republican governor and a Democratic senator backing the same reserve. You'll learn why Paraguay's sixth-largest bank was ordered to shut down over solvency, how Strategy's STRC reclaimed $100 after six months, and why Block added 120 BTC in Q3 to hold 9,237 total. We also cover the critical Core Lightning security patch (26.06.10) every node runner needs, the Binance social-engineering breach via a fake job interview, Intel's $450B three-day collapse, and a governance deep-dive on who really writes the rules — closing with Lyn Alden's leadership take: 'more Aragorn, less Anakin.'
This is the news that actually matters for Bitcoiners this week, broken down story by story with the context the headlines skip.
