Removing Bitcoin's Guardrails | BitMEX Blog
Abstract: We look at the recent controversy related to the potential removal of the OP_Return policy limit in Bitcoin Core.

Ski Cut | BitMEX Blog
In this edition of Crypto Trader Digest, Arthur Hayes dissects the "ski cut" moment of Trump's tariff policies and their cascading effects on the global financial landscape. He delves into the strategic responses of the U.S. Treasury, led by figures like Secretary Bessent, and how these actions are reshaping market dynamics. Arthur explores the Treasury's buyback program as a key tool for managing volatility, and analyzes the intricate interplay between this program and the potential implications for Bitcoin's price trajectory.

The Timewarp Attack | BitMEX Blog
Abstract: We analyse one of Bitcoin’s security vulnerabilities, the so-called timewarp attack. This attack would allow a majority of hostile miners to manipulate the block timestamps and arbitrarily bring the difficulty down and mine a block every few seconds. This weakness, first identified in around 2011, could be fixed by the “Great Consensus Cleanup softfork”. […]

Bitcoin's Duplicate Transactions | BitMEX Blog
Abstract: In the Bitcoin blockchain there are two sets of completely identical transactions, one set sandwiches another, and they all occurred in the middle of November 2010.
