A new documentary dropped claiming Satoshi Nakamoto was actually two people — Hal Finney and Len Sassaman — and the Bitcoin world is buzzing. Plus: Strategy just overtook BlackRock, and the US Air Force is running a Bitcoin node.

In this episode of Good For Bitcoin, Brandon and Kate discuss:

• Strategy bought 34,164 BTC — their largest purchase since November 2024 and 3rd largest ever — now holds 815,000 BTC, surpassing all of BlackRock's iBIT ETF clients combined
• "Finding Satoshi" documentary claims Satoshi was both Hal Finney and Len Sassaman — Brandon and Kate discuss the evidence and the Bitcoin community's reaction
• $292M Kelp DAO hack — the biggest crypto exploit of 2026 — sparks debate about Arbitrum's decentralization after their governing body froze Wrapped ETH
• Hermetica launches HBTC: Bitcoin-in, Bitcoin-out yield product earning from sBTC, Basis Trades, and dual-stacking on Stacks — hits 50 BTC cap in days
• Allbridge Core now supports Stacks, enabling USDC and USDT bridging to and from Stacks from 16 chains
• Bitcoin Core v31 adds private broadcast via Tor/I2P — transactions no longer linkable to a node's IP address or location
• Coinbase's Quantum Advisory Council publishes a quantum computing report, with 17 active researchers working on post-quantum Bitcoin solutions including BIP 360
• US Air Force Admiral tells lawmakers the military is running a Bitcoin node and conducting operational tests for network resilience
• Tether freezes $344M in USDT linked to Iran — Iran had previously been seeking USDC and BTC
• Russia officially recognizes crypto as property under law but bans everyday use as currency

Allbridge cofounder Andriy Velykyy joins Brandon and Kate to unpack what real Circle-issued USDC on Bitcoin actually means — and why he's calling this the moment Bitcoin DeFi stops being an experiment.

In this bonus episode of Good For Bitcoin, Brandon and Kate sit down with Allbridge cofounder Andriy Velykyy to discuss:

• The origin of Allbridge — from connecting EVM and non-EVM chains five years ago to 17+ networks, 1M+ unique wallets, and nearly 2M on-chain transfers today
• Surviving the KelpDAO contagion and why Arbitrum's emergency freeze of 30,000 ETH — moving funds without a private key signature — sets a dangerous precedent for self-custody
• Echoes of the DAO hack and the Ethereum / Ethereum Classic split
• Why stablecoin rails are the missing ingredient for any DeFi ecosystem — and the "Bitcoin is savings, stablecoins are checking" framing
• USDCx on Stacks: the first Circle-standard USDC on any Bitcoin layer, and what that signals about capital flow into Bitcoin DeFi
• Liquidity fragmentation — why one canonical USDC beats a dozen bridge-minted versions
• Allbridge Classic sunsetting April 30 — Andriy's direct plea to migrate aeUSDC loans off lending protocols before the lights go out
• Where Bitcoin DeFi is headed next: perp DEXes, stablecoin card payments, treasury management, and cross-chain yield arbitrage
• How Allbridge Core's stablecoin-to-stablecoin routing (USDT TRC20 → USDCx on Stacks) opens Bitcoin DeFi to users in emerging markets

Guest:

• Andriy Velykyy — Cofounder, Allbridge (core.allbridge.io)

A quantum computer could steal $74 billion in Satoshi's Bitcoin — and the only proposed fix might be worse than the problem.

In this episode of Good For Bitcoin, Brandon and Kate discuss:

• BlackRock's IBIT sees over $700M in inflows this week — and Strategy adds 13,927 BTC, now holding over 780,000 BTC and back in profit above $77K
• Goldman Sachs enters the Bitcoin ETF game with a premium income ETF — using an options-based strategy to generate yield on BTC exposure
• World Liberty Financial (Trump's DeFi project) minted tokens, used them as collateral to borrow $75M, and drained 55% of Dolomite's liquidity pool — drawing comparisons to FTX. Justin Sun publicly called it a "personal ATM for insiders"
• New Presidio Bitcoin report: 6.5 million BTC would be immediately vulnerable if a cryptographically relevant quantum computer existed today — with 4.5M of that exposure reducible right now just by rotating to fresh addresses
• BIP 361 (co-authored by Jameson Lopp) proposes freezing quantum-vulnerable Bitcoin, including Satoshi's coins — a three-phase approach that would eventually render all legacy UTXOs unspendable
• Adam Back pushes back, arguing an optional quantum-safe upgrade is the right path — and the philosophical debate over "your keys, your coins" vs. protecting the network heats up
• Pakistan's Central Bank reverses its crypto ban, now allowing banks to open accounts for licensed Bitcoin and crypto service providers
• Bitcoin passes block 945,000 — we're now halfway to the next halving, and the 4-year cycle is tracking almost exactly to historical patterns
• Charles Schwab launches direct BTC and ETH trading at just 75bps — competing head-on with Robinhood and Coinbase
• Tether releases a self-custody wallet with Bitcoin, Lightning, USDT, and USAT support — plus human-readable tether.me addresses
• Tim Draper predicts $250K Bitcoin within 18 months. OG Satoshi-era whale exits after 15 years, selling 3,500 BTC (~$260M) all at once
