Jonathan Kirkwood of Ten31, frames Bitcoin as a “constitutional order written in code and sustained by consent,” drawing parallels to America’s founding story. He argues that Bitcoin’s strength lies in its predictable, public rulebook—where rules are verified by anyone rather than imposed by a central authority. Each Bitcoin Core release or alternative implementation, like Bitcoin Knots or btcd, represents a “software state” within this union, upheld by a federation of nodes that function as local courthouses. Kirkwood highlights Ten31’s partnerships with builders such as Mempool.Space, Strike, and Fold, which bring transparency, global access, and household integration to Bitcoin’s daily use. “With better rules, ordinary people can trade tyrannies for tools,” he writes, invoking Thomas Paine’s revolutionary vision. The essay positions Bitcoin’s adoption as an ongoing story, one where citizens worldwide can “begin again.”

Satoshi Pacioli Accounting argues that Bitcoin businesses require more than sound money; they need a management philosophy that mirrors Bitcoin’s principles of decentralization and integrity. In an article titled, Building a Bitcoin Business with Principle Based Management, the firm highlights Principle Based Management (PBM), developed by Koch Industries, as a proven operating system rooted in Austrian economics and classical liberalism. PBM rests on five dimensions: Vision, Virtue and Talents, Knowledge Processes, Comparative Advantage, and Motivation. Each reinforces decentralized decision-making and long-term value creation, in contrast to fiat-era distortions and corporate bureaucracy. Citing Charles Koch, “If you create real value for others, you do not need to cheat, trick, or force anyone. The market will reward you.” Advocates see PBM as a natural fit for Bitcoin enterprises, offering tools to align incentives, empower individuals, and build durable institutions for the digital asset industry’s next phase.

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee announced that Oklo, Inc. will invest $1.7 billion to build the nation’s first privately owned nuclear recycling center in Oak Ridge, a project expected to create more than 800 jobs, The Center Square’s Kim Jarrett reports. The 247-acre facility will recycle used nuclear fuel into advanced fuels to “power industry and support durable jobs for decades to come,” said Oklo co-founder and CEO Jacob DeWitte. The project is backed by the state’s $50 million Nuclear Energy Fund (expanded to $70 million since 2023) and overseen by the Tennessee Nuclear Energy Advisory Council. Officials emphasized Oak Ridge’s historic nuclear expertise and the role of Oak Ridge National Laboratory in supporting the initiative. Consumers’ Research called the project a “bold and exciting achievement,” crediting federal support for enabling progress toward cleaner, more reliable energy and U.S. energy independence.

On Bitcoin Season 2, Portland Hodl outlined what he views as the most serious threats to Bitcoin beyond the well-known 51% attack. He cited two “abstract” risks, slow-moving changes to social consensus and rising miner centralization, before detailing a concrete vulnerability: so-called “poison blocks.” These blocks, built from legacy signature operations, can be valid yet so complex to validate that they stall nodes and waste miners’ energy for up to 25 minutes on enterprise hardware or 11 hours on devices like Raspberry Pi. Portland warned that such attacks could be weaponized by nation-states or pools seeking advantage. Developer Antoine Poinsot is working on a fix through the “Great Consensus Cleanup,” a proposed soft fork. While no active exploit has been observed, Portland stressed that “Bitcoin will be fine” but urged adversarial thinking and preparation, framing the issue as a test of governance and resilience.
