Bitcoin is rules without rulers. - Andreas M. Antonopolous

I visited Croatia several times in my youth. Had no idea that there was serious inflation too. Stjepan‘s aunt back then did already the „Saylor move“ by getting a loan and paying it off through the devaluation of their currency. Smart ass! View quoted note →

My new article captures the current state of Bitcoin in Zimbabwe. The country had six currency collapses since 1980. Bitcoin hasn't solved Zimbabwe's broader economic problems. It won't fix corruption, infrastructure, or international sanctions, but for people willing to learn, it offers something Zimbabwe's government cannot take away: financial sovereignty. I'm sharing the story of a farmer, because too many Bitcoin discussions stay theoretical. Critics dismiss it as speculation; maximalists oversell it as a panacea. The truth is more practical: in countries with broken monetary systems, Bitcoin provides tools that actually work - if you're willing to learn and adapt. Ethan's farm isn't running on ideology; it's running on math and incentives that align with reality. Full article:

I don’t know which country is worse in handling their currency. Venezuela or Zimbabwe. From my stays in Zimbabwe I can confirm what is written below. No one wants or uses the national currency that is announced as being backed by gold. There is no trust in the system- and no wonder after six currency crashes since 1980. Separate money and state!

@npub1ajlr...zx3q please add more African currencies! I want to onboard communities in Zambia and Mozambique their currencies are missing, which makes it understandably hard for them to use it. Bitcoin includes, not excludes.

I found it! It’s hidden under „connect app“ and then „advanced options“. Using @fiatjaf's Lantern extension. Connected it, highlighted something, …and is it working? View quoted note →

@hal I am curious, tell me how many followers I have here on Nostr

Bitcoin is the wheel. Everything else? Just sledges. After 8 years using Bitcoin across Africa—from Zimbabwe to Kenya, South Africa to Zambia—one thing is clear: it just works. Yet new "innovative" payment systems keep getting built with the same old flaws: intermediaries, control, friction. The cost of delay isn't just the money spent building—it's the opportunity cost of missing the revolution happening right now.

Bitcoin Is the Wheel, Everything Else Is Sledges

Bitcoin is the wheel of money. Decentralized, permissionless, and unstoppable. Yet institutions keep building sledges. How much time will be wasted...

That was close. We got some more time to make the general public aware of the dangers of digital surveillance. No privacy, no democracy, no human rights. View quoted note →
