KOHI Coffee. A quaint coffee shop along Silliman Avenue now accepts #bitcoin. The members of the Bitcoin Society of the Philippines dropped by to show support and bought coffee with bitcoin. You won’t hear it, but yes, that’s the sound of inevitability. That’s the monetary network of the 21st century being adopted in Silliman University.

One can summarize human history as the movement of information dispersed over two social networks: money and language. Stay humble, learn #Bitcoin

#Bitcoin  is for those who need it: the unbanked, financially repressed or excluded from payment rails, OFWs seeking lower fees, wage earners whose salaries can’t catch up with inflation, monetary colonies, etc. Bitcoin is for everyone, but appeals most to those who must use it.

#Bitcoin is hard to understand, for sure. But it also happens to be the best platform for understanding the sordid past, the messy present, and our cloudy future.
