Bitcoin for the real economy. Built on Bitcoin, e-cash and Nostr.
Bitcredit Protocol FAQ: Why are Bitcredit mints ("Wildcats") limited to minting only real commercial bills of exchange? Answer in 10 steps: a) Creation. 1. The goods sold by one business to another represent a real saving. 2. These goods serve for production, not consumption. 3. The bill of exchange represents their value in trade. 4. Currency minted from such a bill is backed by this value. b). Circulation 5. Companies can pay workers and suppliers with such currency. 6. People and businesses then buy goods with currency. 7. Currency ultimately pays for the issued bills of exchange. c. Redemption. 8. When the bill is redeemed in Bitcoin, both the bill and its minted currency are extinguished. 9. Bitcoin passes to another hand, but the quantity of Bitcoin stays the same. 10. The quantity of Bitcoin remains fixed at 21 million. ==> No inflation.
Week 5/2026 progress update: 1. Offline intermint exchange fixed, offline payments work, and wallet remains usable even when mints or internet are unavailable (some limitations) 2. Bitcredit Wallet reached MVP status: create & restore wallets, QR payments, invoices, redemption, on-chain minting and melting demonstrated 3. End-to-end system integrated: eBills, Wildcat, Clowder, eCash Wallet operating together 4. Dashboard and e-bill UX improvements, including bill structure, stati, and admin 5. Clowder prototype deployments hardened, can be run and tested locally
Bitcredit Protocol 101 ================== Bitcoin today is like digital gold. Its fixed supply is suitable for savings, but not (yet) for everyday money… 1. because its exchange value swings wildly 2. because Bitcoin demand changes rapidly while supply does not. Bitcredit Solution ============== Bitcredit lets real businesses create temporary "Bitcoin credits" backed by real goods they produce. People can spend credits like Satoshis, right away. Credits redeem at maturity in actual Bitcoin on mainchain. Functionally for payments, for earning and spending, these credits are as good as (digital) gold, as Bitcoin. Even better in some ways: faster than Lightning, offers pretty good privacy, and costs zero transaction fees. Stability for Bitcoin =============== As more trade and production happens this way, the effective money supply auto-adjusts to match the quantity of money needed. This dampens volatility, a growing credit superstructure makes Bitcoin's exchange value, its purchasing power, more and more stable. The Bitcoin Difference ================== Physical gold and pre-fiat banknotes worked historically in this natural, free market fashion… … before central banks took over and captured gold politically for national strategic gold reserves. The bad ending for gold is history. Non-custodial Bitcoin can maybe avoid this fate.

We cannot sustainably earn #Bitcoin and spend #Bitcoin while the real economy stays on foul fiat currency. But how? Orange pilling merchants to accept Bitcoin is one. Hard. But the regional Bitcoin Economies pushed by fired-up enthusiasts show that it can be done. Follow @Federation of Bitcoin Circular Economies to see the progress. Now we also must orange pill πŸ’Š the global supply chains. Make Bitcoin economies truly circular, bring them into international trade. That's even harder. But at Bitcredit Protocol we believe it can be done. Why? Because it must be done. If you like near impossible tasks, join us. We will celebrate every single win.
