🌬️NEW ARTICLE PUBLISHED This summer, I worked on a report to craft a narrative around #Bitcoin and specifically why Gen Z would be inclined to stack some sats. TL;DR: Bitcoin is economic oxygen to breathe life back into Gen Z’s future. And, after #Nostriga, I’m increasingly of the belief that Nostr is how Gen Z will take their first breath. (It’s already how @npub1dsk0...yv6n members did in April by receiving zaps through @primal.) The @galaxyhq team has very kindly allowed me to share it 💜 . It’s published through @npub1w0rt...cu4x and @npub1048q...x3nf. The formatting (citations) didn’t come out super, so you can also find it through my Google drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1esiQtvfD1NJDvesii_TfOlT7egEM4Syy?usp=sharing Habla --> View article → Highlighter --> https://highlighter.com/a/naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzq9fekpmzwvjct2fzjzejx4dwu5p6x5eft9jh742tzt92j7gfwss6qp9y2cm0dehk66tr948hs7t8v4hz64rgv5k4xmm4dejz6nt0dejhjt2ndak82arfdahz6ar094sj6snjda4k2m3df4hkuete94fhgctwv3shyepdx4hkkvt60qswd0p3 #bitcoin #genz

Incredibly grateful to be a part of this work with Sarah Kreps, Cornell University’s Cornell Brooks School Tech Policy Institute, and @CornellBitcoin Club members, researching the relationship between Bitcoin and financial freedom. Thank you to the Human Rights Foundation and the Reynolds Foundation for making this study possible!

As promised…sharing the final proposal. (And, no, I didn’t purposely make it 21 pages.) This type of assignment was a first for me, and I'm sure when I look back, I'll think, “Wow, I could've done better.” 😅 But, I gained valuable insights, learned new skills, and enjoyed the process. (And I am grateful for any time I get to spend thinking about bitcoin!) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nkQbs29s8_PNM0C0WinzrseW1lAXIH8H/view?usp=drive_link

Gen Z needs #bitcoin . Layer (Z)ero, the social layer, = @BTCStudents Most every time I mention #Bitcoin  at school, I receive laughs, but I've never been booed. I believe this reaction is loosely held. The Ohio State stadium seats 102, 780 people. I'm sure few in attendance have thought about the question, let alone the answer to, "What is money?” And why would they? I certainly never did. Hence the creation of @BTCStudents. BSN was created to support students in starting and scaling #Bitcoin  clubs worldwide, fostering spaces for conversation, connection, & community. 🌐 Right now, BSN is working on starting clubs in 31 countries. We're not stopping until we reach every student. Learning about #Bitcoin  doesn't just contribute to shaping your worldview, it teaches & empowers you to shape your own worldview & make your own decisions. #Bitcoin  is a tool. Students should have access to information to choose for themselves whether it's one they want to pick up or not.

Happy Halving!! 🧡🎉

"Halving this cake is just the ₿eginning" #CommunityIsEverything @npub1dsk0...yv6n had their halving party last night! We... -Learned what the #Bitcoin  Halving is -Ate cake! 🎂 -Played @freemarketkids' game "HODL UP: A Bitcoin Mining Game" 🎲 -Ripped a pack of cards @btc_cards 👀 -Sent sats and set up @primal 🎉

A “pinch me” moment! I feel beyond honored. When I discovered #bitcoin , Coin Stories was 1 of the 1st pieces of content I consumed. @nat brunell's model of immense dedication, knowledge, eloquence, & humility has had a huge part in who I am today. Thank you for having me! 🧡

Thank YOU @TPBPod and those who joined! So enjoyed our conversation - left me feeling energized and grateful (as usual!) for #bitcoin ers 🧡 ...

I’m thinking this could be a “yes,” but are the names “nostr” & “damus” drawn from “Nostradamus,” the French astrologer who wrote “Les Prophéties” & known for predicting future events?
