Bitcoin is just money, an alternative to fiat money that works." - @erik More and more ideologies will continue to come into and interact with Bitcoin as the tent expands. Bitcoin is for anyone and everyone and does not belong to one ideological camp.

"I think the biggest benefit immediately is privacy...and another one is in order to onboard people with zero fees." #cashu is a game-changer for privacy and onboarding people to #Bitcoin. This and more in our latest TPB ep (link in bio)
