According to @BitMEXResearch, a 64 byte Bitcoin transaction can be confused with an intermediate hashing step in Bitcoin’s Merkle tree because both are 64 bytes, creating a vulnerability that can be exploited (source: @BitMEXResearch on X, Dec 9, 2025). According to @BitMEXResearch, the research also reviews a proposed fix to prevent this ambiguity (source: @BitMEXResearch on X, Dec 9, 2025).

According to @BitMEXResearch, a Dec 5, 2025 post contrasts the accessibility of The Bitcoin Standard with the harder read Human Action, framing today’s Bitcoin developer economics reading as easier (source: @BitMEXResearch on X, Dec 5, 2025). The post provides no BTC price targets, on-chain metrics, exchange flow data, or protocol updates, indicating sentiment commentary rather than market guidance (source: @BitMEXResearch on X, Dec 5, 2025). The post links to Roger Ver’s 2019 tweet for context and introduces no new market information for BTC or development roadmaps (source: @BitMEXResearch on X; x.com/rogerkver/status/1119212864152064000).

According to @BitMEXResearch, the team resurfaced criticism that Bitcoin Core developers do not understand economics, citing an older post by Roger Ver to underscore ongoing ideological divides in Bitcoin governance (source: https://twitter.com/BitMEXResearch/status/1996925944259281103; source: https://x.com/rogerkver/status/1119212864152064000). For traders, this is a sentiment-led headline with no new Bitcoin Improvement Proposal, code change, or roadmap item referenced, indicating no direct protocol or fee-market catalyst at this time (source: https://twitter.com/BitMEXResearch/status/1996925944259281103; source: https://x.com/rogerkver/status/1119212864152064000). Monitor BTC order books, funding, and spreads for short-term reactions to governance discourse, but base decisions on verifiable signals since the cited content is opinion rather than a technical update (source: https://twitter.com/BitMEXResearch/status/1996925944259281103).

According to BitMEX Research, Bitnod.es data shows Bitcoin Knots’ share among live BTC node peers has declined to 8.4% as of Nov 26, 2025 (source: BitMEX Research on X citing Bitnod.es). According to BitMEX Research, this marks a drop since the site’s launch at the start of November 2025 (source: BitMEX Research on X).

According to @BitMEXResearch, the phrase spam doesn't exist is rhetorical shorthand emphasizing that block space should be allocated by fee markets and consensus-defined transaction validity, reinforcing Bitcoin's censorship resistance rather than denying the concept of spam. Source: BitMEX Research on X, Nov 25, 2025. @BitMEXResearch states that filtering is censorship is a warning that if filters work as proponents intend, the same mechanisms could be used to censor transactions, so filters should not be effective in that way. Source: BitMEX Research on X, Nov 25, 2025. For traders, this stance highlights that near-term transaction inclusion hinges on fee markets rather than content-based filtering, with implications for on-chain fee dynamics and miner revenue sensitivity to demand.

According to @BitMEXResearch, tightening Bitcoin relay policy with your full node is unlikely to influence other nodes because it is hard to stop data flowing across the internet, source: @BitMEXResearch, X, Nov 20, 2025. According to @BitMEXResearch, loosening relay policy can materially increase your node's influence on transaction propagation and the effect scales with peer count, which is relevant for desks seeking broader broadcast of BTC transactions, source: @BitMEXResearch, X, Nov 20, 2025. According to @BitMEXResearch, for enforcing consensus rules, whether your node matters depends on its economic weight rather than its mere presence, guiding traders to focus on the economic context of their own validation, source: @BitMEXResearch, X, Nov 20, 2025. According to @BitMEXResearch, the core takeaway is that running a node primarily safeguards your own view of the chain rather than steering the wider network, a practical point for BTC settlement assurance and counterparty risk checks, source: @BitMEXResearch, X, Nov 20, 2025.

According to @BitMEXResearch, MicroStrategy (MSTR) previously sold equity at a premium to fund Bitcoin (BTC) purchases and is now pursuing debt issuance to buy more BTC, structuring the debt to resemble the risk profile of short-duration U.S. Treasuries, source: @BitMEXResearch on X, Nov 14, 2025. According to @BitMEXResearch, traders should monitor potential near-term BTC spot demand tied to any debt-funded accumulation by MSTR and related beta sensitivity in MSTR versus BTC around issuance and deployment timelines, source: @BitMEXResearch on X, Nov 14, 2025. According to @BitMEXResearch, fixed-income desks should watch pricing versus short-duration Treasuries, investor reception, and settlement timing as key datapoints for gauging the scale and pace of BTC purchases by MSTR, source: @BitMEXResearch on X, Nov 14, 2025.

According to @BitMEXResearch, a new research article examines Stretch (STRC), a novel MSTR debt-type instrument designed for price stability by varying its dividend rate each month based on the debt’s market price, source: BitMEX Research tweet on Nov 14, 2025 https://twitter.com/BitMEXResearch/status/1989384339151622414.

According to @BitMEXResearch, they have not studied NFTs in depth and have limited interest, emphasizing that NFTs are generally bad investments, source: @BitMEXResearch on X, Nov 14, 2025. They add that NFTs being put on Bitcoin is not a concern for them and that critics should ignore NFTs rather than push for restrictions, source: @BitMEXResearch on X, Nov 14, 2025. They state NFTs will fall in value and see no point in technical measures to deter or prevent NFTs, signaling a clearly bearish stance on NFT valuations that traders tracking Bitcoin-based NFT activity should note, source: @BitMEXResearch on X, Nov 14, 2025.

According to @BitMEXResearch, since Aug 27, 2025, the median price of the top 10 NFTs on Bitcoin fell 36.7%, marking a continued drawdown in the segment traders track for momentum and risk management (source: BitMEX Research, Nov 14, 2025). According to @BitMEXResearch, the median is down 96.9% from the peak, underscoring severe value compression across leading Bitcoin NFT benchmarks that affects entry/exit planning (source: BitMEX Research, Nov 14, 2025). According to @BitMEXResearch, BTC declined 14% in USD over the same period, which mechanically amplifies USD-denominated losses for Bitcoin NFT holdings relative to native pricing (source: BitMEX Research, Nov 14, 2025).

According to @BitMEXResearch, MicroStrategy’s enterprise value is about 76 billion dollars (market cap plus debt), roughly 20% above the market value of its Bitcoin (BTC) holdings (source: @BitMEXResearch on X, Nov 13, 2025). This means MSTR trades at a premium to its BTC treasury and is not a discount Bitcoin proxy at current prices (source: @BitMEXResearch on X, Nov 13, 2025). @BitMEXResearch states that only if enterprise value drops below the market value of its Bitcoin should MSTR be considered at a discount to BTC (source: @BitMEXResearch on X, Nov 13, 2025).

According to BitMEX Research, since their prior post, MSTR is down 55% while Bitcoin (BTC) is up 5%, marking a sharp negative divergence between the stock and the underlying crypto benchmark. Source: BitMEX Research on X, Nov 13, 2025. According to BitMEX Research, MSTR now trades at a discount to the value of its underlying Bitcoin, indicating a negative premium relative to direct BTC exposure. Source: BitMEX Research on X, Nov 13, 2025. According to BitMEX Research, the existence of a discount makes the MSTR versus BTC spread the key trading variable to monitor, with outcomes hinging on whether the discount narrows or widens from here. Source: BitMEX Research on X, Nov 13, 2025. According to BitMEX Research, the central question for market participants is what strategy to apply now that MSTR is below its implied Bitcoin value, underscoring a potential relative-value focus between long MSTR and BTC exposure.

According to @BitMEXResearch, citing the United States House Committee on Oversight, a 22 Nov 2013 email to Jeffrey Epstein shows Steven Sinofsky noting a 50 percent gain on his Bitcoin position when BTC traded around USD 700. Based on that disclosure reported by @BitMEXResearch from the House Committee on Oversight, the implied entry price is roughly USD 467.

According to BitMEX Research, Zcash (ZEC) has rallied recently. According to BitMEX Research, the all-time high in BTC terms was about 3,300 BTC per ZEC, which is roughly $340,000,000 per coin at today’s BTC price, highlighting a large gap from current market levels according to BitMEX Research.

According to BitMEX Research, setting up their own nodes and connecting to many peers was relatively easy, demonstrating that a tiny minority of node runners can undermine incentive-incompatible transaction relay filters (source: BitMEX Research). According to BitMEX Research, these relay filters are proving unsustainable, analogous to the economically unsustainable surplus block capacity observed from 2009 to 2015 (source: BitMEX Research). According to BitMEX Research, traders should note that practical attempts at relay-layer censorship can be bypassed, making relay policy an unreliable tool for shaping Bitcoin transaction propagation and a risk factor to monitor when evaluating on-chain activity (source: BitMEX Research).

According to BitMEX Research, Bitnod.es now reports 1,576 live Bitcoin node peers and climbing as of Nov 7, 2025 (source: BitMEX Research). The figure reflects the current live BTC node peer count visible via Bitnod.es as reported in the update (source: BitMEX Research).

According to @BitMEXResearch, so‑called anti‑spam chains are likely to attract the most spam, inflating on‑chain activity metrics that traders often use for momentum and fee‑sensitivity signals; source: @BitMEXResearch, Nov 6, 2025. According to Coin Metrics network data, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) has historically processed fewer transactions than Bitcoin (BTC), supporting the comparison noted by @BitMEXResearch and highlighting the risk of misreading demand on lower‑usage chains; source: Coin Metrics network data, 2024; @BitMEXResearch, Nov 6, 2025.
