Looks like my local masjid is fasting starting on Thursday. So much fighting in the local group chat over moon sightings

So many bitcoiners and shitcoiners debate about Bitcoin's viability as a medium of exchange, and Africans be out here just using it as everyday payment like it's nothing 😂 Always so inspiring to see. View quoted note →

Back in 2022, sheikh Jamaal al-Din Zarabozo wrote a paper analyzing the permissibility of Bitcoin/crypto It’s a seminal work, but there’s one section that felt weirdly underdeveloped. I was honestly shocked when I first read it. He wrote: "9.0.5 When One Believes that Current Monies are Ribawi (Interest- Based), Evil, and Corrupt: A Muslim could actually believe that Bitcoin/Cryptocurrency is more “halaal” than the current fiat money system. The individual may wish to have nothing to do with the current ribawi (interest-based system) and sees cryptocurrency as a halal alternative. One should recall that Bitcoin was actually developed in response to the financial crisis of 2007, when it became clear that many financial institutions were essentially corrupt and could not be trusted. In this case, the purchase of cryptocurrencies should be permissible." In other words, he explicitly validates the view that today’s fiat system is ribawi and morally corrupt, and that a Muslim may use Bitcoin as a halal alternative to opt out of that system. My argument takes the logic to its conclusion. If fiat is truly ribawi and Bitcoin is a viable exit, then this shifts from “permissible” to “obligatory” (wajib) under the duty to avoid riba as much as one is able. Exploring that shift is the central theme of my book.

That ad at the end was so worth it! 😂

Can Islamic Finance Build an Alternative Monetary Architecture?

What an awkward essay. Like it lists out the problem somewhat accurately but then recommends solutions that don't even address the problem It proposes an "alternative monetary architecture" and it then proposes steps to start local and "bring in the central banks" 🤣 Of course, the linkedIn poster wrote all of this without even considering Bitcoin, an actual alternative monetary architecture.

It's been amazing to see all the bcashers on X lately come out of their cave to associate Bitcoin with Epstein. Like, they've been relentless. But it's been fun pointing out to them that Epstein literally funded Gavin Andresen, one of the main big blocker proponents, as well as giving funding to Brian Armstrong and Coinbase as they were signaling support for the block increase. They're such hypocrites man. They make Epstein seem like he was this nefarious and technical hijacker of the Bitcoin project when there's literally an email of him ordering a "Bitcoin for dummies" book in 2018 😂 They can't come to the conclusion that Epstein (most likely) didn't know what the fuck he was doing/funding and wasn't competent enough to even initiate a takeover of Bitcoin.
