Bitcoin Solaris Enters Final Weeks of Presale with Explosive Growth and Mobile Mining Breakthrough
TALLINN, Estonia, June 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitcoin Solaris (BTC-S), a next-generation blockchain project focused on scalability, energy efficiency, and mobile accessibility, has officially entered the final weeks of its presale, marking a pivotal moment for early adopters. With the presale set to close on July 31, momentum is surging as thousands of users join what's quickly becoming one of the most talked-about launches in the crypto space. At the heart of Bitcoin Solaris is a mission to create a blockchain that's not only high-speed and secure but also accessible to everyday users. Designed with mobile-first infrastructure and built on a dual-consensus model, BTC-S is setting the stage for a blockchain ecosystem capable of supporting real-world use cases—from decentralized finance (DeFi) and NFTs to tokenized real estate and e-voting. The Engine Behind Bitcoin Solaris: Power Meets Practicality Bitcoin Solaris doesn't just promise innovation, it delivers it at the protocol level. By combining a dual-consensus mechanism and mobile-first scalability, BTC-S brings a completely modernized architecture to the table. Here's how it breaks away from outdated networks: The performance is unmatched in its tier: Smart Contracts at Lightning Speed See Why Developers Love BTC-S A Wealth-Building Engine for the Mobile Generation At the core of BTC-S's mass appeal is its accessibility. The upcoming Solaris Nova app introduces mobile mining, allowing users to participate using just their smartphones, no expensive rigs, no complicated setups. You can estimate potential earnings through their mining calculator, showing exactly how BTC-S plans to bring mining rewards back to the people. This seamless user experience is one of the key reasons the project is catching fire. Unlike Bitcoin, which requires industrial-scale hardware to earn a fraction of a coin, Bitcoin Solaris is opening the gates for everyday investors to benefit directly from the network's growth. Real-World Utility Backed by Robust Infrastructure Bitcoin Solaris is more than just a fast network. It's built for real-world adoption, including support for: The dual-layer architecture also enhances privacy via optional Zero-Knowledge Proofs and protects against 51% and long-range attacks, making BTC-S a secure, high-speed alternative for serious developers and investors alike. Security and transparency are reinforced by successful audits from both Cyberscope and Freshcoins, giving investors confidence in its infrastructure. The Presale Frenzy: Numbers Don't Lie Bitcoin Solaris is currently in Phase 8 of its presale, priced at just $8. With a launch price set at $20, and less than 7 weeks left until it ends on July 31, the clock is ticking. Visit the Bitcoin Solaris site now before it enters Phase 9. Momentum is growing fast, just check crypto YouTube channels. Influencers like Ben Crypto and 2Bit Crypto have each done a full breakdown of why this is one of the most exciting crypto launches this year. Why Bitcoin Solaris Could Make Its Early Backers Rich There's no one-size-fits-all in crypto, but Bitcoin Solaris is checking all the right boxes for those hunting high-upside projects: More than just a presale buzzword, BTC-S represents the kind of practical, accessible crypto opportunity that's been missing from the market for years. The fact that the network is designed to reward real usage, not just holding, means that early adopters stand to gain much more than just token appreciation. As excitement builds and new features continue to roll out, Bitcoin Solaris is proving it's not here to follow Bitcoin, it's here to outshine it.

Finland's lawmakers vote to leave land mine treaty as Nordic country boosts defenses against Russia
HELSINKI — Finland's parliament voted overwhelmingly to pull out of a major international treaty on antipersonnel land mines Thursday as the Nordic country seeks to boost its defenses against an increasingly assertive Russia next door. Finland shares a 830-mile land border with Russia and joined NATO in 2023. Finland says land mines could be used to defend its vast and rugged terrain in the event of an attack. Finnish lawmakers voted 157-18 to move forward on a government proposal to leave the Ottawa Convention. The Nordics and Baltics have been sounding the alarm on a potential Russian incursion since it launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Analysts say Ukraine is among the countries that are the most affected by land mines and discarded explosives, as a result of Russia's ongoing war. The Ottawa Convention was signed in 1997, and went into force in 1999. Nearly three dozen countries have not acceded to it, including some key current and past producers and users of land mines such as the United States, China, India, Pakistan, South Korea and Russia. In a report released last year by Landmine Monitor, the international watchdog said land mines were still actively being used in 2023 and 2024 by Russia, Myanmar, Iran and North Korea. In the Baltics, lawmakers in Latvia and Lithuania earlier this year voted to exit the treaty. Mirjana Spoljaric, president of the International Committee of the Red Cross, said civilians will pay the price if more countries leave the treaty. 'The global consensus that once made anti-personnel mines a symbol of inhumanity is starting to fracture,' Spoljaric said in a news release earlier this week. 'This is not just a legal retreat on paper—it risks endangering countless lives and reversing decades of hard-fought humanitarian progress.'
