This is what hyperbitcoinization looks like. Last week @Bitcoin Journey hosted its first ever Self Custody group workshop where 5 people went from no-coiners to sovereign in just 3 hours. They didn’t just learn the fundamental importance of holding their own keys, they also learned about: - Privacy - Network fees - Moving between On-Chain and Lightning - Why accepting and spending Bitcoin is essential for building circular economies - and much more This milestone marks a proud step toward making #Bitcoin education simple, accessible, and sustainable. All workshops will be taught using open-source hardware wallets only. Hopefully the first of many more to come. Onwards and upwards.
Bitcoin without self-custody is not Bitcoin. At Bitcoin Journey, we won’t stop until everyone can self-custody confidently and safely. It’s not about how big or small your stack is, it’s about owning something that cannot be debased or confiscated. It’s about freedom. That’s why we’ve launched our Self-Custody Group Workshops for the Queenstown community in NZ. Each session is limited to 5 participants to ensure a personalized experience, where they will learn how to: • Generate their own private key using an open-source hardware wallet • Send, receive, and store Bitcoin with confidence • Manage UTXOs • Understand network fees • Protect their privacy • Using the Lightning Network We couldn’t be prouder of this milestone, it brings us one step closer to our vision of empowering more people through simple, accurate, affordable and sustainable Bitcoin education. image
The #Bitcoin rabbit hole has no limit. It never stops surprising me how, even after so many years, you can still uncover new and profound realizations. The latest one: unlike fiat, Bitcoin cannot be destroyed. Fiat money can be burned, deleted, or erased from existence. Why? Because it costs nothing to create. Bitcoins, just like energy, cannot be destroyed, only transformed. Many bitcoins have become inaccessible because their private keys were lost, but their existence on the blockchain will always remain. They cannot be “deleted”. Once those bitcoins come into existence, their creation can’t be undone, they become part of the immutable ledger.
#Bitcoin is not mentioned once in this episode but I think it will resonate with many bitcoiners. Independence + Purpose = Happiness How do you achieve Independence? By creating value and storing it in the ultimate freedom technology.
Slavery, monarchy, and colonialism undoubtedly seem barbaric by today’s standards. Yet, in their time, they were considered “normal.” They were the status quo. What’s the status quo today? A system where a handful of people in power can devalue and even confiscate the savings of millions with the stroke of a pen. But things are changing. A growing wave of people are saying: “This isn’t right. I don’t want to be part of this unjust system. I will store my time and energy in a system with clear and fixed rules. I choose Bitcoin.” At its core, that’s exactly what our 2-hour Bitcoin Workshops is all about: challenging today’s status quo and explaining, in simple terms that anyone can understand, why Bitcoin is an alternative worth exploring. No promises, just empirical facts gathered over the past 16 years. Our last workshop was held at Aro Ha Wellness Retreat, and we can’t thank them enough for giving us the space. Hosting in such a pristine location was a true privilege. I have no doubt that one day the fiat system will look just as barbaric in hindsight. Hopefully that day comes sooner rather than later. Learn Bitcoin today and exit the oppressive system. ⚡ Upward and onwards.
New Bitcoin merchant on the block! 🚀 If you’re in Queenstown NZ, make sure to check out Italian Way. 🍕 You’ll enjoy some of the best pizza in town with an amazing view all while supporting a local business that accepts #Bitcoin. The Bitcoin Basin is growing by the day! ⚡
Another Bitcoin workshop in the books! This one was specifically designed for merchants who have recently decided to accept Bitcoin as a form of payment. Bitcoin can seem complex but at Bitcoin Journey out goal is to make it as simple as possible, showing in real time how the technology works and the many possibilities it opens up. This free educational workshop for the local community was made possible thanks to the fantastic Bitcoin Basin ( @Nell from The Bitcoin Basin Queenstown ) initiative, which is powered by @npub1eltp...mk2v , the best Bitcoin-only exchange in New Zealand. Onwards and upwards! ⚡️ image
