Bitcoiners, we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
We’ve all grown up in a broken fiat system.
Each day we see that system hurt the people we care about in ways they don’t understand.
But Bitcoin gives us the unique ability to build something better.
A system that is transparent, verifiable, and fair.
A system that proves the money is actually there.
Underpinned by a provably scarce asset and a decentralized network of people who are hopeful about the future.
But this system can only flourish if we hold the influential businesses that build on top of it accountable.
Don’t let them use the same old fiat games to sweep away the people who have yet to follow in our footsteps.
Demand Proof of Reserves from Bitcoin companies. No excuses, the technology is there.
We have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build better. Let’s not squander it.

People worry about paper bitcoin suppressing the price, but the solution is simple:
Hold your exchange accountable. Demand they implement Proof of Reserves.
Switch if they refuse.

For years, Bitcoiners pushed exchanges to adopt Lightning.
And guess what? It worked. Public Lightning volume is up 266% in about a year.
A few interesting insights from our new @River report:
Our previous Lightning research in 2023 showed a 1212% increase in transactions.
Many of these were low value, as people experimented with new apps & business models.
Now, a new wave of bigger volume has come in, driven by exchanges.
We used the same methodology for our estimates as in 2023, but instead of having data on 52% of public capacity, we now got up to 79.4%
A massive thank you to Acinq, @Alby, Bitfinex, @Breez ⚡️, C=, @LNBϟG, Kraken, LQWD, NiceHash, OKX, Cyberdyne, Sunny Sarah, @THNDR, and @Wallet of Satoshi for sharing data.

Proof of Reserves should be the standard for all Bitcoin exchanges.
We open-sourced our solution 6 months ago to help make it happen.
Hold your exchange accountable to implement PoR, because why trust them with any of your bitcoin if they won't prove their solvency?

Bitcoin is on a relentless trajectory to become the global reserve asset.
You’re witnessing the emergence of a common global language for individuals, businesses, and institutions to store and exchange value, digitally.
If we can’t save in the dollar, we’ll do it in bitcoin.
A logarithmic graph better captures the difficult phases Bitcoin has already been through in becoming a serious asset.
But make no mistake, it can be a long road for another 10-100x!

High-Yield Savings Accounts are misleading.
You’re not saving anything, you’re actually getting poorer by 20% in 5 years!
The money supply is growing faster at 6.8% per year than you are earning dollar interest.
