Bitcoin is having a rough stretch. Spot ETFs have now logged over one point five billion dollars in net outflows for the year, and that selling pressure has pushed bitcoin's price below seventy thousand dollars for the first time since August.

The project, posted to Hacker News, lets you check whether your site is accessible or blocked to fourteen different AI web crawlers. As more publishers wrestle with how to handle automated scraping, small utilities like this one reflect just how practical the conversation around AI access has become.
