my understanding is that this is Hungary specific and not the EU and the legislation coming out of Hungary specifically is much WORSE than even what the EU is pushing

2026-01-11 21:14:03 GMT

Not sure how widely known this is, but I don't think it's getting the reach it deserves.
Hungary is quietly passing laws that make it nearly impossible for exchanges to operate or for citizens to buy Bitcoin at all.
In short:
"As of July 2025, Hungary has unique crypto validation requirements in effect, impacting approximately 500,000 Hungarian crypto owners.
The law does not define what validation means. This creates legal uncertainty: neither individuals nor businesses can follow the rules, service providers are leaving the country, and violations may result in criminal liability.
On this website, only service providers that have publicly announced compliance, or have been confirmed compliant by SZTFH or Caduceus, are marked as 'Compliant.'"
This is directly affecting an engineer on our team. He built this site to raise awareness of what’s happening.
Please take a look and share to help raise awareness.
A timeline and all the exchanges that are now leaving or restricted is listed below

What excites me most about what I do every day is recharging the power of your savings.
Every day, you trade your time, effort, and talent for money — a reflection of your hard-earned work. But when that money loses value over time, it sends the wrong message: don’t save for the long term — spend it while you can.
That’s the world most of us have grown up in.
Saving in traditional money meant watching your purchasing power quietly erode. To keep up, we’ve been pushed into becoming part-time money managers — chasing yield, picking funds, and jumping into markets we don’t fully understand. The assets we turn to are often illiquid, inflexible, opaque, confusing, and managed by others.
Bitcoin changes that.
It gives anyone the ability to store the value of their work in an asset that can’t be debased or taken away. It’s transparent, portable, and verifiable.
That’s what drives me every day at Hoseki:
building tools that help people see their savings as a better future — something that can be used on their own terms, for the things that matter most to them.
Because the future isn’t just about hoarding for yourself.
It’s about utilizing your hard-earned work for what’s most important to you.

To me, the harshest reality of legacy media's slow walk to obvious bankruptcy is:
If their journalists were actually good at breaking news, journalism, or had interesting things to say on opinion columns, they’d make way more money going independent—via X, YouTube, Substack, etc.—than rotting at the Washington Post.
It's why they all eventually become mouthpieces for different government factions.

I feel my thoughts on nostr have settled here as well
Without a major app with pmf embracing nostr I think it will remain hobbyist and niche which, as you mention, isn’t a terrible thing. However it will not just grow because people care about censorship resistance. The great product makers have to choose it because of those properties and create something people love (and need) using it. We can’t rely on users caring about those properties, because they never will.
*Side note* I have similar thoughts to this about ecash as well - particularly the grant criticism - but I don’t think we are ready for that conversation yet.

This very well could be a white elephant for stripe — and I probably think it is — but btc solutions for payments are not top of mind for anyone right now
I truly believe internet native value transfer NEEDS to be using btc rails as it’s the most decentralized and censorship resistant.
The rails here are neither and that makes anyone using them — or seeing their utility and choosing them — vulnerable.
We aren’t top of mind and introspectively we need to do a better job reaching the masses with our solutions https://i.nostr.build/kcAljmNR5ojfQWdA.jpg

I am 300 pages into the new #WindandTruth from Sanderson, and story-wise, I am enjoying it aside from all the woke nonsense I feel is so out of place.
It's very disappointing and surprising as this one seems so much more in your face than all the other.
I understand that "fantasy" probably tends to lean woke, and he probably got pressure to do it, but it's so blatant in this one that it seems like more bending the knee than anything else.

Something that concerns me this holiday season is hearing family members working from home, talking about what they actually spend most of their time on and their blockers.
The amount of bloat and inefficiency AI could eliminate has me worried for their jobs. I hear some of their meetings and think, “There’s no way this exists in 5 years.”
It’s not that they won’t find more work, but there will undoubtedly be a reckoning as companies cut bloat and value creation decentralizes.

Disappointing to see Stripe restarting their crypto initiative with centralized chains.
Not that I think anyone will really use this besides web3 degens
I guess the advantage here is that you open up US commerce globally, but doing so with rails that will never hold up in an adversarial environment largely defeats the purpose.
So other than the global aspect — which admittedly is nothing to sneeze at — the counterparty risk is little different from today.
Solana == Visa
They are equally as centralized and censorship-resistant.
For digital assets to succeed, we need solutions and products to win that are properly decentralized, or we are defeated before we really even get started.
A reminder that being ‘on-chain’ or self-custodial means nothing if the chains or networks are centralized
We need to make things right the first time and Stripe putting this crap out there makes it more difficult for our industry to get the credibility and promotion it deserves
We see taproot asset support for USDT — the stable the global south is leveraging — and then we have a different story.
I hope Speed and Joltz keep creating killer products to advance this initiative. The industry needs it 🙏

I’ve been carnivore since early 2020 but animal based (including fruit honey and raw milk) for the past 2
I started having severe cramping, my heart would skip beats, I couldn’t sleep deep/ couldn’t sleep past 3am, as well as a bunch of other things
Saladino’s recommendations were completely life changing. I felt amazing initially on carnivore but feel even better now than I ever did on a strict lion diet
Apparently to some this is “my carb addiction” which to me is obviously BS — I work out a lot (CrossFit) and the extra carbs made my workouts so much better
To my fellow carnivores:
Saladino is not the issue. He helped me and frankly I trust him far more than anyone else in the space. It’s obvious he’s acting and working in good faith.
Those that want to demonize meat consumption and tell me how much meat I can eat and force salad and grains in my mouth are the real problem.
Can we stop pointing fingers and team up to the real problem here?

I’m nearing the end of Rhythm of War, and I think it goes under the radar of how based Brandon Sanderson is.
In a world where I feel like all you see is either uninteresting (woke) remakes or post-modern muck, Sanderson delivers story after story with heartfelt, impactful narratives that pull at my heartstrings every time.
Not giving anything away — specifically, the conflict between Kaladin and his father at the end of RoW is thought-provoking and, I think, culturally relevant to today’s grander societal issues.
Sanderson’s moral opinions and clarity shine through in much of his work, and I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if they were at odds with much of his audience if spoken about literally.
In the end, it doesn’t matter because his endings usually slap.
His characters can sometimes be a little one-dimensional and flat, but I don’t care.
I love his novels and can’t wait for Wind and Truth.
