One more grass roots Bitcoin Meetup took place. 20 people more that know about Bitcoi āš”ļøāš”ļø The core of my presentation was this: If VISA is a gladiator in the payment rails market, #Bitcoin is the Colosseum. Bitcoin is not just a competitor; instead it is the place where others go to compete. Always a blast organizing these small events; curious people show up with engaging conversations, fresh perspectives and insights. Following my talk, @eugene stepped up with his own and shared his insights into #NOSTR and the brilliance of a decentralized #digitalID, where our personal data isn't owned by a handful of gatekeeper companies. Instead, digital presence is wholly controlled by the individual. Eugene is an active NOSTR developer, and it’s always a amazing hearing from those who have real experience and are walking the walk.
Bitcoin just got another lawyer! After 4 years, 2 degrees and a year of Bar Practice I am a certified lawyer! In University, I specialised in Technology Law and Innovation. Now, I am all in professionally into the Bitcoin economy. By the end of the year, 20 companies more will be accepting Bitcoin as payment and it will be because of me! Here also me for the first time trying a head stand on a SUP boardšŸ˜„ image
Western Governments Do Not Make Mistakes. They are infallible! Since they can print, they dodge real accountability. Paper over deficits, monetise mistakes, socialise losses. Reset the scoreboard through dilution. What ā€œdivine rightā€ was to unelected monarchs, ā€œlegal mandateā€ now is to unelected central bankers. Royal power rested on the ā€œdivine right of kingsā€; authority portrayed as God‑given. A sacral aura that dulled scrutiny. When that shattered, another shield was improvised by the elite: technocratic, fiscal, monetary exceptionalism. Familiar? Today: - Errors are ā€œmanagedā€ via balance‑sheet expansion ( fancy words ). - We debate price symptoms and dodge questioning structural design. - Accountability is lost in the fog. Kings invoked God, central banks now invoke statute. Different language, similar insulation of power. Enter Bitcoin - not utopian but a structural counter‑proposal: - Rules that cannot be quietly rewritten mid‑cycle. - Fixed issuance, not elastic promises. - Permissionless final settlement. - An auditable ledger that resists politically convenient amnesia. Separating Money & State rhymes with separating Church & State. Legitimacy moving from abstract decrees to transparent, verifiable rules, not to enthrone a new ā€œinfallibleā€ authority, but to narrow discretionary abuse. We don’t need ā€œinfallibleā€ governments. We need institutions that can’t silently tax through dilution. History didn’t end with ending divine rights. It won’t stop with stopping Quantitative Easing. #Bitcoin #History #FrenchRevolution #MonetaryPolicy #Accountability #Innovation #Governance image
