A unified Bitcoin CLI, full roadmap shipped — and growing. Built on two principles: zero external dependencies (Python standard library only) and no Bitcoin Core required (powered by the Mempool.space public API — or your own node via --api-url). Scriptable end to end: stdin, batch files, JSON Lines.
