Bitcoin adoption was led by individuals, then ETFs. @adam3us says pensions and managed funds, where most savings sit, are next.

He tells @BitcoinMagazine how Blockstream Consulting Services in Lugano, Switzerland, is built to help banks get there.

Bitcoin can get ahead of quantum.

@n1ckler, Director of @blksresearch, on the race to replace Bitcoin's signatures and how our research prepares Bitcoin for a post-quantum future.

Nov 13, 11:15 AM ET, Digital Assets Forum by @DAF_Global, New York.

Our CEO @adam3us joins leaders from Fnality, VanEck, NYDFS, Citi, SkyBridge Capital, Invesco and CoinShares at the Digital Assets Forum, with a fireside chat on the Blockstream Stage on November 13 at 10:30 AM ET.

Blockstream is the Diamond Sponsor, because Bitcoin belongs at ersation. Hosted by @DAF_Global. 🇺🇸

@adam3us Read it in Satoshi's own words: nine pages that still explain how bitcoin moves with no one in charge.

blockstream.com/bitcoin.pdf

On this day in 2008, Satoshi published the Bitcoin white paper.

Two months earlier, Satoshi emailed @adam3us to ask how to cite Hashcash. Bitcoin builds on its proof-of-work so no one has to be in charge.

Eighteen years on, Bitcoin is still the best place to build.

Many institutions have moved past whether to hold Bitcoin. The question now is how: who holds the keys, how assets stay secure as quantum computing advances, and what they can build on it.

That's the work we do, and it's why Blockstream is the Diamond Sponsor of the Digital k on November 13, hosted by @DAF_Global.

Look up any transaction and the page tells you what it means. Privacy analysis, SegWit savings, and the real fee, on mobile.

@BittyCoinware @adam3us You got it.

Gold mines can work three shifts and crank up supply when the price moons. Bitcoin can't do that.

@adam3us on why Bitcoin is harder money than gold: inelastic supply, no competing industrial use, and a new supply rate already lower than gold's.

Blockstream is a headline sponsor of the Digital Assets Forum New York on November 13, hosted by @DAF_Global.

Catch our CEO @adam3us on stage, then join our private room for a full day on enterprise custody, quantum readiness and tokenization, with live demos. 🇺🇸

Travel with bitcoin and keep it protected. With 2FA multisig, one key stays on your device and Blockstream holds the other behind two-factor authentication.

Full setup in the @BlockstreamApp.

Post-quantum signatures have to work for low-power hardware wallets, miners, Lightning nodes and every node verifying blocks.

@n1ckler of @blksresearch at @LuganoPlanB on how SHRINCS balances signature size against those needs.

Blockstream is making headlines in Lugano, from our new office to quantum security.

Blockstream Consulting Services gives Swiss banks and asset managers direct access to our experts.

Check out coverage from @CdT_Online, @finews_ch and @BitcoinMagazine featuring @adam3us. 🇨🇭

Day two at @LuganoPlanB: @n1ckler of @blksresearch on the race to replace Bitcoin's signatures, Jade Plus from @BlockstreamJade at the booth, NFC cards paying out in @Liquid_BTC, and self-custody workshops at Asilo Ciani. That's a wrap.

Thank you, Lugano. 🇨🇭

At @LuganoPlanB, @blksresearch Director Jonas Nick (@n1ckler) answered the question everyone's asking: will AI break Bitcoin's cryptography?

Spoiler alert: no.

AI is changing how software gets built and secured, and Bitcoin is at the forefront of it.

@pwbain, CMO of Blockstream, on the opportunity: better development practices with the latest frontier models, ongoing research, and a global community working together to make the network stronger.

Happening now at Asilo Ciani: The Role of the Node in Self-Custody with @gianguazz, on why verifying your own transactions is part of holding your own keys. In Italian, during @LuganoPlanB.

On the P2P Stage now at @LuganoPlanB: @n1ckler, Director of @blksresearch, on the race to replace Bitcoin's signatures: quantum, AI and hash functions.

Happening now at Asilo Ciani: Noderunners: Bitcoin Core with @LeoComandini, a hands-on session on running Bitcoin Core yourself. In Italian, during @LuganoPlanB.

Happening now at Asilo Ciani: @LeoComandini , @FedericoTenga and @tierotiero on building native applications on Bitcoin, moderated by @birk1907. In Italian, during @LuganoPlanB.

DigiCash failed because it was a single point of failure. The answer was to decentralize, but a decentralized protocol can't have a bank account.

@adam3us at @LuganoPlanB on how Hashcash became Bitcoin's building block, and why proof of work made scarcity essential.

Happening now at Asilo Ciani: Advanced Multi-vendor Multisig with @tulipan81, the next step for anyone already holding keys across more than one device. In Italian, during @LuganoPlanB.

Every card holds a prize: up to $500 in LBTC.

Grab one at our booth at @LuganoPlanB, open the @BlockstreamApp, tap your phone to the card and paste your @Liquid_BTC address. Claim before the event ends today. 🇨🇭

Day one at @LuganoPlanB: @adam3us on stage on cypherpunk origins and philosophy, our new Lugano office officially open, NFC cards at the booth with a chance to win up to $500 in @Liquid_BTC, and our engineers teaching self-custody at Asilo Ciani.

On stage at @LuganoPlanB with @AaronvanW, @adam3us made the case for Simplicity as Bitcoin's last soft fork.

One expressive language with formal semantics could raise the security bar for Bitcoin scripts, and open the door to opt-in Confidential Transactions or covenants.

Today @LuganoPlanB opens at Palazzo dei Congressi.

We're here to talk about building Bitcoin's security for the long run. At 10:30, @adam3us shares lessons from the cypherpunk movement with @AaronvanW, and @BlockstreamJade is at our booth all day.

Day zero in Lugano. @adam3us on stage at The Future of Capital Markets, media interviews from around the world, then drinks and @BlockstreamJade giveaways with @SatoshiLugano.

Tomorrow @LuganoPlanB opens. It only gets bigger from here. 🇨🇭

Settle a lunch bill with a fraction of a treasury stock, and it feels the same as paying in bitcoin.

On stage in Lugano today, @adam3us on why people come to Bitcoin for different reasons: the investment, sovereignty, or paying online when other options fail them.

ETFs and managed funds give the next wave of investors an entry point.

2FA Protected accounts are back.

Watch the full walkthrough: back up your wallet, set up email, SMS, and an authenticator app, then send with 2FA. The same multisig protection we pioneered in 2019, live again in the @BlockstreamApp.

Bitcoin is built to last. Keeping it secure is long-term work.

We're excited to share our work this week at @LuganoPlanB: @adam3us on lessons from the cypherpunk movement, @n1ckler on post-quantum signatures, and self-custody workshops with our engineers.

2% allocation. If Bitcoin doesn't perform, the portfolio recovers. If it continues toward $200T, the effect is outsized.

@adam3us on why pension funds don't need to form an opinion on how far Bitcoin goes, just stay the course and don't rebalance.

Quantum-ready Bitcoin in practice:

To get ready, you send to a new Taproot address. With OP_CHECKSHRINCS by @blksresearch, it holds a Schnorr key and a post-quantum key. You keep spending with Schnorr at today's cost. When a quantum computer arrives, you spend with the post-quantum key.

“The amount of Bitcoin buying is much higher than Bitcoin being mined So it's just a question of when the sellers run out of Bitcoin to sell or decide they don't want to sell any more.”

Blockstream CEO @adam3us

The Simplicity community is live. A dedicated space for in-depth technical discussion with the team building high-assurance Bitcoin contracts. Ask your questions, see what others are shipping, and post the actual code.

"If you can't outperform Bitcoin with a strategy, maybe you should just buy Bitcoin."

Over six-year rolling periods for the last 15 years, Bitcoin has been the outlier asset class.
@adam3us on why Bitcoin is the hurdle rate for long-term value preservation.
