"It should be obvious by now:
#Bitcoin, not blockchain.
#Bitcoin, not crypto.
#Bitcoin, not DeFi.
#Bitcoin, not Web3.
#Bitcoin, not CBDCs.
#Bitcoin, not centralized neo-banks that sell you fractional-reserve paper bitcoin.
#Bitcoin."

Did you know that we let you send gift cards and Visa cards to friends over nostr with our app (anonymously).
Right now it only works via nostr DM sent from purchases with The Bitcoin Company app but….
We’ll pay a 5M sat bounty for anyone who helps us build out an automated chat bot or ideally normal account on nostr that let’s you zap us your payment and receive gift card codes (or send to a friend) via DM
We think the UX would involve a message like “$10 Uber gift card for npub1234xxx ”, then an automated reply from us with a response of “that will be a 42k zap”, and when the zap threshold is received (from you or anyone else) then we send the gift card code to recipient via a nostr DM
Idk just spitballing here but would be pretty fucking cool and would allow you to send gift cards to people instead of just sats ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
“The root problem with conventional currency is all the trust that’s required to make it work. The central bank must be trusted not to debase the currency, but the history of fiat currencies is full of breaches of that trust.”
— Satoshi Nakamoto on #Bitcoin
"As a store of value, #Bitcoin may continue to attract more savings demand, causing it to continue appreciating significantly compared to all other forms of money until it becomes the prime choice for anyone looking to get paid."

"A lot of the dismissals, criticisms, and attacks on Bitcoin come from people who have the luxury of having a stable financial system."

"There are only going to be 21 million coins, there are billions of people in the world, some reasonable percentage of who might find it interesting to own a piece of Bitcoin."
