Bitcoin at $63K: Saylor’s BTC Prague Keynote, Hungary Adoption, and NIP-SPACES vs NIP-05 on Nostr
Welcome back to Inside Bitcoin Spaces with Jason and Andrew. Today we’re breaking down the latest in Bitcoin: price action, major conferences, global adoption, and exciting new tech developments.
1. Bitcoin Price – Bitcoin is currently hovering around $63,000. After a sharp correction we saw some solid support and a small recovery. The big question on everyone’s mind: Where are we headed - up or down?
Short-term we’re still in a volatile consolidation phase, but the long-term outlook remains strongly bullish. This is Bitcoin we're talking about.
2. BTC Prague 2026 – Europe’s Biggest Bitcoin Conference. Just days ago, BTC Prague wrapped up as the largest Bitcoin event in Europe. Following Bitcoin 2026 in Las Vegas, it’s clear the momentum is global.
Standout moments: Michael Saylor delivered a powerful keynote, doubling down that “Bitcoin has already won” and laying out his vision for Bitcoin as the ultimate capital asset.
Jeff Booth gave another brilliant talk on how Bitcoin fixes the broken incentives in our economy.
The overwhelming vibe? All roads lead to Bitcoin. The world is slowly but surely figuring it out.
One interesting takeaway was the role of Bitcoin derivatives and credit products. Saylor’s strategy might be the perfect bridge for mainstream adoption. Comparing raw Bitcoin to traditional money can feel like too big of a leap for most people. But when institutions and individuals can compare Bitcoin vs fiat through ETFs, yield products, and stablecoins, the value proposition becomes much clearer. Stablecoins especially help people experience Bitcoin’s superiority indirectly. They act as a gateway, closing the gap until people eventually move to true self-custody.
4. Hungary Decriminalizing Bitcoin. In positive global news, Hungary is moving to decriminalize Bitcoin trading under its new government. While Bitcoin doesn’t need government permission, it’s fully permissionless, this is still a big win. It shows that even governments are starting to recognize Bitcoin’s value. More countries waking up is only going to accelerate adoption.
5. Spaces Protocol (NIP-SPACES vs NIP-05. Finally, we discussed sovereign identity on Nostr. NIP-05 is the current standard most people use for verified Nostr handles. The problem? It relies on centralized DNS domains, meaning a registrar can revoke or censor your identity. NIP-SPACES (built on Spaces Protocol) is the upgrade: Your handle (@you, @bitcoin, etc.) is anchored directly to Bitcoin.
Fully sovereign and verifiable with math, no trusted third parties. Censorship-resistant and permanent.
This is how we bring true ownership to social identity on Bitcoin and Nostr.
That’s the latest from the Bitcoin space. Self-custody, real adoption, and sovereign tools are all moving forward together. What topic should we cover next? Drop your thoughts below. Thanks for watching, stay sovereign.
Why the Wealthy Keep Bitcoin Low – And How Spaces Protocol Changes Everything
Inside Bitcoin Spaces: The Jason & Andrew Show
Bitcoin at the Crossroads: $63K Recovery, Brutal Dip Below the 200-Week MA, and Why the Real Game Is Just Beginning
In this episode, Jason and Andrew break down the week’s intense market action: Bitcoin plunged as low as $59K, shattering the key 200-week moving average (~$61,300) a major long-term support level that hasn’t been tested this aggressively in years.
Why the selloff? They examine the massive capital rotation into blockbuster IPOs like SpaceX and Anthropic, ETF outflows, macro headwinds, and the broader risk-off mood. But more importantly they remind everyone: Bitcoin is money. Use it as such.
They also unpack a provocative theory: Why are many wealthy individuals (those already set with homes, businesses, steady cash flow, and assets) quietly incentivized to keep the BTC/USD price suppressed, so they can accumulate more at better prices? Meanwhile, only those still climbing the lifestyle ladder are aggressively pushing for price appreciation. And why do so many still use the dollar price as their sole metric for “adoption”?
The Sovereign Identity Revolution The conversation shifts to Spaces Protocol, the Bitcoin-native, censorship-resistant naming system that’s gaining serious traction. Current state of the protocol and its ultra-efficient on-chain design (100M+ handles anchored in a single Merkle root). Practical steps everyone can take to drive real adoption.
Lessons from Bitcoin’s early days: How grassroots belief, persistence, and real utility turned a niche experiment into a global phenomenon and how Spaces can follow the same path.
How tools like Nostr (and Orbee Chat) can integrate Spaces for sovereign, verifiable handles (@name, @bitcoin)
Which podcasts and creators should be talking about Spaces right now and exactly how it would strengthen their communities with true digital ownership and portability.
Whether you’re a long-term Bitcoiner, builder, or someone tired of centralized identities and platform lock-in, this episode delivers unfiltered insight, actionable ideas, and the mindset shift needed for the next leg up.
Bitcoin isn’t going anywhere. The real question is: Are you positioned for what comes next? Drop your thoughts below are you accumulating through the dip or waiting for clearer signals?
🚀Episode Highlights: The Jason & Andrew Show – Bitcoin Goes Global & Institutional
In this must-watch episode, Jason and Andrew break down the explosive week that proves Bitcoin is no longer optional, it's becoming the backbone of geopolitics, corporate treasuries, and the future of innovation.
⚡Iran’s Bold Bitcoin Play
Iran is now charging oil tankers roughly $1 per barrel for safe passage through the critical Strait of Hormuz (20% of global oil). To dodge U.S. sanctions, they’re demanding payment in Bitcoin. Fast invoices settled in seconds. They’ve even launched “Hormuz Safe,” a Bitcoin-backed insurance platform for ships. Real talk: sanctions are pushing nations toward Bitcoin faster than anyone expected.
⚡Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Drops the Hammer
Scott Bessent delivered a crystal-clear message: No CBDC. Ever. He called it the “first step toward tracking” and took it completely off the table. At the same time, he issued a stern warning: he U.S. must dominate Bitcoin innovation or risk losing the next century of financial leadership. Clear rules, onshore growth, and private-sector power are the priority.
⚡SpaceX Joins the Bitcoin Club
Elon Musk’s SpaceX just revealed in its IPO filing that it holds 18,712 BTC (worth ~$1.45 billion today). Even the most secretive giants are stacking Bitcoin quietly. As the saying goes: everyone is holding Bitcoin, some just haven’t admitted it yet.
⚡Michael Saylor’s Epic Declaration
MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor dropped a bombshell: his company plans to buy all the Bitcoin miners produce from now until 2140. With over 840,000 BTC already on the balance sheet and buying at twice the mining rate, they’re absorbing supply like a black hole. Institutional demand is rewriting the rules of scarcity.
⚡Plus: The Future of Private Chat
The hot new Obree.chat - a sleek group chat app built on Nostr using NIP-29 for decentralized, permissioned groups. They dive into its faucet mechanics and why protocol-level innovation like this could reshape how we communicate online.
Bottom line from Jason & Andrew: Bitcoin is winning on every front, from nation-states and rocket companies to Treasury policy and new tech. The great wealth transfer is accelerating. Don’t miss this episode, the future is being priced in right now. Don't miss the signal in the noise! https://youtu.be/SRA2XeCaES0
The article argues that while we have end-to-end encryption in messaging apps (Signal, iMessage, WhatsApp, etc.), it's undermined by a fundamental flaw: you can't reliably know you're using the right public key for someone. Safety numbers, contact verification, and similar features exist but are rarely used, making encryption "end-to-end conditional on the platform being honest."
The Core Problem = Binding human-readable names/identities (email, usernames, keys) to public keys still relies on custodial intermediaries:
Email: Providers can read, suspend, or hand over accounts; self-hosting is impractical due to spam filters.
Usernames: Scattered across platforms with no easy cross-proof (Keybase tried but faded after acquisition).
Traditional PKI (for domains): Certificate Authorities (CAs), DNS, and even DNSSEC are vulnerable to attacks like BGP hijacks. Workarounds like Certificate Transparency help detect issues but don't eliminate trust in operators.
Every layer assumes trust in someone else (CAs, registrars, providers).
The Ideal Solution = A self-sovereign system where a name like grace@key directly and verifiably resolves to a public key - no revocation, suspension, or central authority. Resolving the name is the verification; no manual fingerprint checks needed.
Spaces Protocol is presented as a practical step toward that ideal: Names live in a binary Merkle trie, with the root hash committed to Bitcoin (as a tamper-resistant timestamp).
Handles (e.g., grace@key) are issued under parent "spaces" (@key). Issuance is off-chain/batched for users; resolution uses Merkle proofs against the Bitcoin-committed root.
Records (e.g., Age keys, Nostr pubkeys) are signed and distributed peer-to-peer via Certrelay.
Trust anchor: A single 32-byte hash (one global "safety number"). Verified via a desktop tool (Veritas) that checks Bitcoin headers and protocol rules locally.
Limitations: Trusts Bitcoin's long-term security and software supply chain; doesn't solve the "social" side of identity (reputation, knowing it's the right person).
Bottom line: Traditional PKI and identity systems remain custodial. Spaces offers a concrete, working shape for self-sovereign PKI using Bitcoin as a neutral anchor - a missing piece after decades of attempts.
Signal is end to end encrypted in the sense that the keys are end to end. Whether you got the right keys is a different question, and almost nobody asks it.

Summary: "Are we self-sovereign PKI yet?" by Buffrr (May 6, 2026) buffrr.dev buffrr.dev/blog/are-we-self-sovereign-pki-yet/
The article argues that while we have end-to-end encryption in messaging apps (Signal, iMessage, WhatsApp, etc.), it's undermined by a fundamental flaw: you can't reliably know you're using the right public key for someone. Safety numbers, contact verification, and similar features exist but are rarely used, making encryption "end-to-end conditional on the platform being honest."
The Core Problem = Binding human-readable names/identities (email, usernames, keys) to public keys still relies on custodial intermediaries:
Email: Providers can read, suspend, or hand over accounts; self-hosting is impractical due to spam filters.
Usernames: Scattered across platforms with no easy cross-proof (Keybase tried but faded after acquisition).
Traditional PKI (for domains): Certificate Authorities (CAs), DNS, and even DNSSEC are vulnerable to attacks like BGP hijacks. Workarounds like Certificate Transparency help detect issues but don't eliminate trust in operators.
Every layer assumes trust in someone else (CAs, registrars, providers).
The Ideal Solution = A self-sovereign system where a name like grace@key directly and verifiably resolves to a public key - no revocation, suspension, or central authority. Resolving the name is the verification; no manual fingerprint checks needed.
Spaces Protocol is presented as a practical step toward that ideal: Names live in a binary Merkle trie, with the root hash committed to Bitcoin (as a tamper-resistant timestamp).
Handles (e.g., grace@key) are issued under parent "spaces" (@key). Issuance is off-chain/batched for users; resolution uses Merkle proofs against the Bitcoin-committed root.
Records (e.g., Age keys, Nostr pubkeys) are signed and distributed peer-to-peer via Certrelay.
Trust anchor: A single 32-byte hash (one global "safety number"). Verified via a desktop tool (Veritas) that checks Bitcoin headers and protocol rules locally.
Future: Zero-knowledge certificate (~250 KB succinct proof) for instant, no-sync verification.
This creates a "CA without a private key" - trust is reshaped into auditable computation + Bitcoin's proof-of-work, not a compromisable signing key.
Considerations & Trade-offs
Key rotation/loss: Manageable for rotation; harder for total loss (social recovery ideas exist but imperfect).
Issuance: Top-level spaces via burning auctions (slow, anti-squatting); handles via batches/faucet.
Adoption: Hardest challenge - needs app integration.
Limitations: Trusts Bitcoin's long-term security and software supply chain; doesn't solve the "social" side of identity (reputation, knowing it's the right person).
Bottom line: Traditional PKI and identity systems remain custodial. Spaces offers a concrete, working shape for self-sovereign PKI using Bitcoin as a neutral anchor - a missing piece after decades of attempts.
It's not fully adopted yet, but the architecture points in the right direction. #Bitcoin #SpacesProtocol #PKI #Cryptography

Are we self sovereign PKI yet?
Signal is end to end encrypted in the sense that the keys are end to end. Whether you got the right keys is a different question, and almost nobody asks it.
The missing piece, for a long time, has been a way to bind a human scale name to a key without trusting a server, a registrar, or a CA. The shape of that piece is now clear enough to point at.👇
