Alhamdulillah for Bitcoin
The Muslim Bitcoin Summit is happening in London on 10–11 October 2026. image This isn’t just another Bitcoin event. It’s the first dedicated gathering where scholars, builders, and the Ummah come together to seriously discuss Bitcoin as a tool against ribā and for economic sovereignty. General Bitcoin conferences don’t have the space or the lens to address our specific challenges — inflation, unstable currencies, and the ethical questions around money that matter to us as Muslims. If you’ve been waiting for a serious conversation at the intersection of Islam and Bitcoin, this is it. Early Bird tickets live now: #MBS26London #IslamicFinance #Bitcoin

One of the biggest things that made me ditch fiat (and my fiat assets) for Bitcoin, was realising the degree to which hyper-financialised arbitrage holds this whole Ponzi scheme up. Every time I learned more about it, peeled back another layer, I felt even more uneasy and worried about having any connection to it whatsoever. Nothing productive. Just exploiting gaps in the fiat system for more fiat with extreme leverage. It’s one big circle jerk. And you can see it more clearly than anywhere when you look at the basis point trade being run out of the Cayman Islands. Leveraged hedge funds have basically been funding the US deficit to a degree nobody quite imagined. They have been soaking up all the excess supply, to leverage themselves 50:1, and exploit a small arbitrage gap. It should seriously concerns everyone alive today that this is what the system is built on. The only real demand now for all this continued borrowing doesn’t come from genuine demand, but leveraged arbitrage. That’s what’s funding the U.S. Government.
