A guy who lost access to ~5 BTC for 11 years used Claude Code to recover it — and the crypto internet lost its mind. But did Claude actually break Bitcoin? Brandon and Kate unpack what really happened.

In this episode of Good For Bitcoin, Brandon and Kate discuss:

• Trump's Q1 filings reveal Coinbase, MARA, and Strategy on the buy list
• Brandon launches VibeWatch (vibewatch.io) — the social listening tool he wished existed for crypto
• The Bitcoin Staking white paper drops: keep your BTC on L1, earn native Bitcoin yield, no slashing, exit anytime
• Did Claude actually crack a Bitcoin wallet? Inside the 11-year recovery story tearing through X
• Bitcoin mining is bleeding — ~20% of miners are unprofitable and MARA posts a $1B Q1 loss
• Stratum V2: seven pools controlling 75% of hashrate commit to handing block-building back to individual miners
• The CLARITY Act clears the Senate Banking Committee — what got compromised, what got fixed
• Jane Street dumps 78% of MSTR + $1B of BTC ETFs, Charles Schwab rolls out crypto trading (no withdrawals), and Drake asks for an SBF pardon on his new track
