PROTECT CIVIL LIBERTIES IN DIGITAL FINANCE — Guarantee the right of Canadians to transact peer-to-peer without surveillance or discrimination. Embedding financial privacy in law would protect democracy itself and bolster freedom from oppression in an era of increasing digital control. 🇨🇦

🇨🇦 COMMIT TO DEMINIMIS TAX EXEMPTION FOR BITCOIN TRANSACTIONS — Amend the Income Tax Act to exempt everyday Bitcoin payments under a reasonable threshold, such as $10,000, from capital-gains tax. This would normalize digital commerce, empower small businesses, unleash pent up capital into our economy, and simplify compliance while stimulating innovation across the economy. It would also enable not-for-profit and charitable organizations across Canada to benefit more fully from the many use cases of #Bitcoin as a tool for individual, family and community empowerment.

BUILD CLIMATE-RESILIENT INFRASTRUCTURE BASED ON BITCOIN — Recognize Bitcoin mining as a flexible grid stabilizer that monetizes renewable surplus, captures waste methane, and supports the decarbonization of Canada’s energy systems. Through tax credits and green incentives, #Bitcoin can help transform environmental liabilities into assets. In so doing, it can also help us build the digital infrastructure and data sovereignty we need for the digital age of today and tomorrow.

CREATE A NATIONAL SOUND-MONEY AND INCLUSION STRATEGY — Develop a coordinated federal plan to promote financial literacy, open-source #Bitcoin education, and equitable access to digital financial tools. This would include a National Dialogue on Monetary Ethics to reimagine money as a public good and reconnect Canadians with the moral foundations of fairness and accountability.

It’s time for a mission reminder! 🔗 “Often described as both the discovery of digital scarcity and the realization of the separation of money and state, Bitcoin also represents something deeper—what philosophers Andrew M. Bailey, Bradley Rettler, and Craig Warmke call resistance money.”

From the X-verse. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if Satoshi hadn’t died or simply moved on from Bitcoin to other pursuits in that vein, but instead simply transitioned to a peaceful life of mindfulness and enjoyment of the beauties of life on Earth. What do you think @Ghost of Satoshi? image

“Bitcoin is the meeting point where social democracy, environmental justice, and fiscal responsibility align. It gives progressives a common language of renewal — one grounded not in ideology, but in practical compassion, moral coherence, and an ethic of greater global cooperation.”

My latest article is out, published via @npub1fpcd...4sld. : Fix the Money, Heal the System argues that Canada’s social, economic, political, and environmental challenges share a common root: our broken “fiat” currency and a monetary system that rewards debt, speculation, and extraction. The paper explores Bitcoin—a powerful, global monetary alternative—through a progressive and policy-focused lens. It shows how this fairer, decentralized, and transparent form of money drives inclusion, empowers workers, strengthens human rights, and supports environmental sustainability. It contends that lasting social progress must begin with monetary reform. When money loses value through inflation and political manipulation, it leads to erosion of trust, fairness, and long-term planning. By contrast, Bitcoin offers a framework and a tool for rebuilding these foundations—linking economic value to real work, energy, and community rather than to privilege and power. Drawing on real-world examples from Canada and around the world, the paper highlights how Bitcoin is already be used to build a better world. In doing so, it presents Bitcoin not as a speculative asset, but as a public good—and a powerful new tool for building more democratic, sustainable, and inclusive societies; one that should be confidently embraced by all progressive political parties and organizations in Canada.

Posting this again as we need to get this recent article by @Emma into wider circulation. It has the potential to open many more eyes to the importance of sound money and Bitcoin in particular. Please share it with your networks. "The Invisible Health Tax: How Our Money Impacts Health and Why Sound Money Could Transform Well-Being – An Exploratory Examination"

I see a lot of people posting about the “current Bitcoin bull run” and that the “bull run of this cycle is over”. IMHO, we haven’t even seen a bull run recently. The past 1.5 years has simply been a slow upward correction to make up for the impact of exchange and company explosions in 2021/2022 (FTX, Celcius et al). This has been a healing period for Bitcoin, like physiotherapy before getting back on the playing field. At USD ~$100K to $130K the injury is healed, but the body isn’t quite game ready. The so-called bull run begins once the exchange rate of BTC climbs above ~$130,000 USD. We’re getting there. The bull is sharpening its horns. Patience. I believe that past cycle models and prognostications will ultimately prove ephemeral. image

My latest article, published via @npub1fpcd...4sld. Bitcoin over Gold: An Ethical, Ideological, and Strategic Case Except: “In an era of growing authoritarianism and geopolitical instability, gold has become the favored reserve of regimes that seek control, opacity, and self-protection from accountability. Bitcoin, by contrast, embodies an open-source, decentralized, and censorship-resistant system that aligns with property rights, civil liberties, human rights, and free markets.”

I don’t own any real or paper gold. I’m more convinced than ever that I don’t want any. I’ll leave that for people who are ready to resign themselves to the so called “debasement trade” or, as I prefer to call it, the despair and cynicism trade. Instead, I choose #Bitcoin #BTC. Bitcoin is the hope, optimism, and structural change trade. Others have called it the “purification trade”. Sure, I can get with that. The move to gold is a cynical retreat from our world’s most pressing challenges. It is a giant middle finger to billions of people around the world for whom gold is an untenable asset due to security and access barriers, and its lack of portability in the face of major geopolitical uncertainty. This gold “debasement trade” is also a giant middle finger to younger generations left to reconcile the debts and downstream impacts of their predecessors. Gold will not and cannot provide these younger people the tools for renewal and rebuilding that are so urgently needed. On the other hand, Bitcoin offers the opportunity not only to escape the impact of fiat currency debasement, but to also restructure social engagements, reformulate the incentives that drive political discourse, and build across borders and other arbitrary barriers. Bitcoin offers Gen Z and Gen Alpha not only affirmation that yes, our current economic and financial systems are fucked, but also a roadmap and tool for rebuilding. What an ounce of gold will scarcely or never do for youth in a deprived community setting, Bitcoin can and will do. image
