Bitcoin insights, guides and analysis.
I built on Bitcoin, Ethereum and Cardano from 2021, ran two Cardano stake pools and wrote Solidity. What those five years taught me about Bitcoin itself.
Ordinals number every satoshi and inscriptions store files in Bitcoin witness data. How it works, how BRC-20 and Runes differ, and what it did to fees.
A fixed CHF amount on a fixed schedule takes timing out of Bitcoin buying. How to set up a DCA plan in Switzerland, what it costs, and how gains are taxed.
Inscribe a Bitcoin ordinal with Gamma, UniSat Inscribe or the ord CLI on your own node. File limits, fee math in CHF and the wallet mistake that loses it.
Six tiers of rare Bitcoin satoshis from Common to Mythic. How to hunt them in your own UTXOs and why one satoshi can be worth more than another in 2026.
Block 840,000 cut the Bitcoin reward to 3.125 BTC on 20 April 2024. What the chain shows since then on fees, difficulty and price, and what 2028 brings.

Relai, Pocket, Mt Pelerin, Swissquote and Kraken charge very different fees for a CHF Bitcoin buy. Their 2026 fees, checked on each provider's own page.
A 2023 CVE said inscriptions bypass a Bitcoin Core data limit. Core called it policy, not a bug, and v30.0 raised the default from 83 to 100,000 bytes.
Self-custody removes the exchange middleman. Hardware wallet plus 20 or 24 word seed plus optional passphrase. The full Swiss-context setup walkthrough.
