“With Bitcoin, you start skeptical… cautious… you buy a little. Then your friends buy, price goes up 10x… that small 10% becomes 50%. And you think—maybe I should just get off the fence.” - @Adam Back on the @Bitcoin Infinity Media show Fiat debases. Bitcoin adoption keeps climbing. Download Blockstream. ⬇️

Bitcoin adoption keeps growing. Each wave brings new users and new expectations. We just shipped a new release of the Blockstream app, focused on advanced user flows. Making air-gapped hardware wallet custody and 2FA-enhanced security smoother while keeping everything fast, focused, and open source. 🧵⬇️ Partially Signed Bitcoin Transactions (PSBTs) are what power air-gapped self-custody. Now fully supported for watch-only BTC wallets compose a transaction on your mobile, export it using native iOS or Android tools, sign it offline with your Jade, then bring it back to broadcast. Also compatible with Bitcoin Core and Sparrow Wallet. image Two-factor authentication in Bitcoin multi-signature setups is a powerful, modern security method that Blockstream pioneered years ago. In this release, 2FA (on Android) is faster to configure, easier to recover, and more clearly organized improving security while removing friction for everyday use. image Better UX is key to our mission of making the Blockstream app the complete Bitcoin platform. This release offers a cleaner, more intuitive UI for more advanced flows like watch-only wallets. Bitcoin and @Liquid Network accounts can now be imported more easily, with automatic detection on Android and iOS. image Since 2016 Blockstream has been building the open-source foundations of Bitcoin wallets and infrastructure, and we continue funnelling it all into the Blockstream app so individuals everywhere can be empowered by Bitcoin self-custody.
Bitcoin is apolitical money. Why argue politics when you can stack apolitical money straight to self-custody with the Blockstream app.
