Making bitcoin more than an investment.
This holiday season, instead of explaining immutability, digital scarcity, or decentralization to your uncle, try something that should make sense: small businesses not having to pay 3% credit card fees. bitcoinmerchantcommunity.org.
Square did their part, now let’s do ours. For bitcoin to become everyday money, merchants need to accept it. But first, they’ll need a reason to. We've put together the resources to help anyone make the case that only bitcoin can defeat credit card fees:
Bitcoin Merchant Community
Bitcoin Merchant Community
The Bitcoin Merchant Community is a growing global community of small businesses helping one another defeat 3% credit card fees by accepting bitcoin
 These resources include persuasive leave-behind materials that bitcoiners can bring to local businesses, from subtle, home printer-friendly handouts to bold, attention‑grabbing combo pieces like, uh, a plushie with impeccable penmanship. But no matter how good a leave-behind is, it’s better with a face. Included with each leave-behind is a playbook for you that includes step‑by‑step guidance for how to make the bitcoin case to merchants. We hope for this community to be an open and independent group with a simple goal: bitcoin payment adoption among merchants—regardless of which point-of-sale solution they prefer. It’s also where all of the resources we’ve mentioned so far can be found for free. For now, if you want the plushie combo, you'll have to pick it up at @bitcoinpark_ in Austin and Nashville, @atlbitlab, @SpaceDenver, and @PresidioBitcoin. This might change, though. Who can say? Bitcoin is weird and it’s only getting weirder.
Just use Veo3, they said. AI will be able to make him spin on his head while flailing his arms and legs, they said. He won’t look like the post-apocalyptic spawn of a bitcoin and a smoldering pile of sentient nuclear waste, they said. image
CoinJoin doesn’t guarantee privacy—it just buys you a chance at privacy. One slip post-mix, and intersection attacks can trace you all the way back. Leaks compound fast, and even “perfect” mixes can collapse under real-world pressure. All this and more in The Scroll #4, the longest document or newsletter we have ever published:
The Scroll #4: Intersection Attacks on CoinJoin Anonymity
This is not only our longest edition of The Scroll yet, it might be the longest document we’ve ever published. But, you know what? This is for go...
