Bushido forbids dishonor. Islam forbids riba. Honor your wealth!

We're going to try to explain Riba with a few examples to make it relatable to everyday life—especially for a broader audience— to show why it matters. Here’s a breakdown of real-life examples that illustrate how interest-based systems (Riba) affect the 99%, regardless of faith or background: 💸 Everyday Effects of Riba: Real-Life Examples for the 99% 1. 🏠 Housing: The Mortgage Trap Example: A family buys a £300,000 home with a 25-year mortgage at 5% interest. - Over time, they pay over £500,000—nearly double the price. - If they lose income, they risk repossession, even after years of payments. Impact: Riba turns shelter into a debt burden, making housing less affordable and more precarious. 2. 🎓 Student Loans: Debt Before Opportunity Example: A student borrows £40,000 for university. With interest, they may owe £60,000+ over time. - Many graduates spend decades repaying, delaying marriage, home ownership, or starting a business. Impact: Riba penalises education and traps young people in long-term financial insecurity. 3. 🏦 Credit Cards & Payday Loans: Debt Spiral Example: Someone uses a credit card for emergency expenses. Interest rates of 20–40% mean a £1,000 debt can balloon to £2,000+ if unpaid. - Payday loans can charge 300%+ APR, targeting the most vulnerable. Impact: Riba exploits desperation, turning short-term help into long-term harm. 4. 🌍 Global South Debt: National Struggle Example: Countries like Zambia or Pakistan borrow billions from international lenders. - Interest payments consume healthcare and education budgets, while the principal remains unpaid. Impact: Riba keeps entire nations in poverty, transferring wealth from poor to rich globally. 5. 🛒 Inflation & Cost of Living Example: Central banks raise interest rates to “fight inflation.” - This increases borrowing costs for businesses, who then raise prices for consumers. - Rent, food, and energy bills go up—while wages stagnate. Impact: Riba-based monetary policy worsens inequality and squeezes everyday families. 6. 🧠 Mental Health & Family Stress Example: A couple struggles with mounting debt and interest payments. - Anxiety, depression, and relationship breakdowns become common. Impact: Riba doesn’t just affect wallets—it affects well-being, family stability, and community cohesion. 7. 🌱 Environmental Harm Example: Companies prioritise short-term profits to meet interest obligations. - They cut corners, overexploit resources, and ignore sustainability. Impact: Riba incentivises extraction over stewardship, harming the planet for future generations. 🧭 Why It Matters Whether Muslim or non-Muslim, rich or poor, Riba-based systems: - Concentrate wealth at the top - Punish the vulnerable - Undermine real productivity - Erode social trust and stability A Riba-free system isn’t just a religious ideal—it’s a universal call for justice, dignity, and economic sanity. #RibaFreeFuture #FinancialJustice #SoundMoney #BitcoinFixesThis

RIBA? That's a betrayal of the family. But #bitcoin. Stay halal.

All your efforts stacking anti-Riba sound money...

📘 Riba and the Problem with Interest Riba—often translated as usury or interest—is strictly prohibited in Islamic finance due to its exploitative nature and its distortion of economic justice. Tarek El Diwany’s 'The Problem with Interest' offers a powerful critique of interest-based systems. ⚖️ Core Concepts - Unjust Gain Without Risk: Riba allows lenders to profit without sharing in the risk of enterprise, violating the principle of fairness. - Debt-Based Money Creation: Modern banking systems create money through interest-bearing debt, leading to inflation, instability, and wealth concentration. - Social and Moral Harm: Interest fuels cycles of poverty, inequality, and environmental degradation by incentivising short-term profit over long-term stewardship. - Distortion of Real Economy: Riba divorces finance from real economic activity, encouraging speculation and undermining productive trade. 🧭 Ethical and Spiritual Dimensions - Violation of Divine Law: Riba is condemned in the Qur’an as a grave sin, contrasting with trade, which is permitted and encouraged. - Erosion of Brotherhood: It undermines mutual support and solidarity, replacing cooperation with exploitation. - False Neutrality of Finance: El Diwany challenges the idea that finance is value-neutral, showing how interest embeds moral and systemic biases. 🌍 Practical Implications - Need for Risk-Sharing Models: Islamic finance promotes equity-based contracts (like mudarabah and musharakah) that align incentives and distribute risk. - Rethinking Economic Growth: A Riba-free system encourages sustainable development rooted in real assets and ethical trade. - Challenge to Global Norms: The critique of interest questions the foundations of modern capitalism and calls for a reimagining of economic justice LLP. #RibaFreeFuture #EthicalFinance #FinancialJustice #ReturnToSoundMoney

Fiat = Zulm. Bitcoin isn't just halal. It is IHSAN in monetary form!

"The light of anti-riba monetary system radiating across the world..."

We are really excited and looking forward to @Muslim Bitcoiner's new #Bitcoin book "ANTI-RIBA MONEY" published by @npub1f7n4...m25c 🌍 The world doesn’t just need “better money.” It needs anti-Riba money. Now. Because compounding interest isn’t just a financial tool—it’s a mechanism of systemic injustice. It extracts from the poor, concentrates power, and corrodes the soul of economies. 1. Riba (usury) is forbidden in many faiths—not out of dogma, but out of divine wisdom. It creates debt traps, fuels inequality, and turns money into a weapon of control rather than a tool of exchange. 2. Fiat systems thrive on Riba. Central banks manipulate rates, inflate away savings, and force perpetual borrowing. The result? A global economy addicted to debt, enslaved by interest. 3. Anti-Riba money—like Bitcoin—offers a principled alternative. It’s scarce, neutral, and doesn’t reward hoarding or debt issuance. It aligns with ethical finance, justice, and sovereignty. 4. This isn’t just about Muslims. It’s about humanity. About restoring dignity to money. About building systems that serve people—not enslave them. 5. The time for anti-Riba money isn’t tomorrow. It’s now. Before the next crisis. Before the next bailout. Before the next generation inherits a broken system.

#Bitcoin is halal. Bitcoin adalah halal. #Malaysia

We need to educate and inspire scholars, leaders, and the broader Muslim audience, with clarity, impact, and spiritual resonance. 🕌 Bitcoin & the Ummah A respectful invitation to explore how Bitcoin aligns with Islamic values—reviving justice, resisting oppression, and restoring sound money. Let’s begin. 🧡👇 📜 From Dinar to Digital: Historical Parallels The Prophet ﷺ used gold & silver—scarce, fair, and free from manipulation. Bitcoin revives this legacy: - Fixed supply - Transparent ledger - No central authority It’s digital sound money. ⚖️ Fiat = Zulm: Economic Justice Modern money is built on: - Riba (interest-based debt) - Inflation (stealing purchasing power) - Hidden ledgers Bitcoin resists all three. It’s not just halal—it’s ihsan in monetary form. 🌍 Freedom for the Ummah: Geopolitical Sovereignty  Many Muslim nations suffer under: - IMF debt traps - Currency collapse - Sanctions Bitcoin enables trade, aid, and savings—without Western gatekeepers. A peaceful tool for dignity. 🧠 Bitcoin & the Higher Objectives: Maqasid al-Shariah Islamic law protects: - Wealth (ḥifẓ al-māl) - Trust (amanah) - Justice (adl) Bitcoin aligns: ☑️ Transparent ☑️ Scarce ☑️ No interest or deception 🛠️ Real-world Impact: Use Cases for the Ummah Bitcoin empowers: - Zakat automation - Aid to Gaza, Yemen, Rohingya - Interest-free microfinance It’s not theory—it’s already happening. 🛡️ Volatility? Crime? Shariah? Addressing Concerns - Volatility = early adoption - Crime = traceable (unlike cash) - Shariah = scholars engaging (Mu'aawiyah Tucker, et al.) Let’s lead the conversation, not fear it. 🌅 A Call to Stewardship Bitcoin is not rebellion—it’s restoration. A chance for the Ummah to lead in ethical finance, global justice, and spiritual integrity. We need to explore it with wisdom, caution, and courage. 🧡 #BitcoinIsHalal #BitcoinAdoption #RibaFreeFuture #BitcoinForHumanity

Why do so many governments, institutions & people still reject #Bitcoin? Here are the top objections—and how to dismantle the FUD with clarity, ethics & facts. 🧵 1. “Bitcoin is used for crime.” 💥 Rebuttal: All money can be misused. But Bitcoin’s transparent ledger makes it easier to trace than cash. Chainalysis shows illicit use is <1% of volume. Criminals prefer fiat. 2. “It’s too volatile to be money.” 💥 Rebuttal: Volatility is natural in early monetisation. Bitcoin’s purchasing power has grown dramatically over time. Fiat is stable only because it’s backed by coercion & debt. 3. “It wastes energy.” 💥 Rebuttal: Bitcoin uses energy to secure truth. It incentivises renewable innovation, stabilises grids, and consumes less than legacy systems. Proof-of-work is a feature, not a bug. 4. “Governments will ban it.” 💥 Rebuttal: Some try—but bans don’t work. Bitcoin is code, not a company. It’s borderless, censorship-resistant, and thrives in adversarial environments. Like the internet, it routes around control. 5. “It has no intrinsic value.” 💥 Rebuttal: Value isn’t intrinsic—it’s subjective. Bitcoin’s scarcity, decentralisation, and monetary properties give it value. Gold has no yield either, yet it stores wealth. 6. “It’s too complicated.” 💥 Rebuttal: So was the internet. Education is key. Bitcoin literacy is growing globally, especially in places where financial oppression is real. Simpler tools are emerging daily. 7. “It’s a Ponzi scheme.” 💥 Rebuttal: Ponzi schemes promise guaranteed returns. Bitcoin doesn’t. It’s a neutral protocol—no central issuer, no promises. Just maths, code, and voluntary adoption. 8. “It’s bad for the poor.” 💥 Rebuttal: Bitcoin empowers the poor. It offers savings in collapsing economies, access to global markets, and protection from inflation. It’s financial inclusion without permission. 9. “It’s not backed by anything.” 💥 Rebuttal: Bitcoin is backed by maths (cryptography), energy, and consensus. Fiat is backed by debt and trust in governments. Which one has a fixed supply and no bailouts? 🧠 Bitcoin isn’t perfect—but it’s a peaceful tool for financial sovereignty. The resistance isn’t just ignorance—it’s fear of losing control. Education is the antidote. Freedom is the goal. If we fix the money, humanity will take a giant leap toward fixing the world. 🌍 #BitcoinIsMoney #FiatToBitcoin #BitcoinForHumanity #BitcoinAdoption

A summary of the history of fiat adoption in Muslim nations, the scholarly discourse around it, and a forward-looking roadmap for integrating Bitcoin into Islamic finance and governance. 🧭 Historical Overview: Fiat Adoption in Muslim Nations - 🪙 Pre-20th Century: Muslim societies traditionally used gold dinars and silver dirhams, which aligned with Islamic principles of intrinsic value, fairness, and stability. - 🌍 Post-Bretton Woods (1944–1971): After the global shift to fiat currencies led by the U.S., Muslim-majority countries gradually adopted fiat systems to integrate into global trade and finance. - 🏦 Central Banking & Fiat Entrenchment: Most Muslim nations established central banks and adopted fiat currencies backed by government decree, not commodities. 🧠 Scholarly Positions on Fiat Money Islamic scholars and institutions have issued varied rulings: 1. Mufti Taqi Usmani - Position: Cautious acceptance - Reasoning: Fiat is permissible if used ethically, but concerns over riba and instability remain. 2. Islamic Fiqh Academy (OIC) - Position: Generally accepted - Reasoning: Fiat is valid due to social consensus (urf), but must avoid riba and gharar. 3. Ahamed Kameel Mydin Meera & Moussa Larbani - Position: Critical - Reasoning: Fiat money facilitates riba and violates maqasid al-Shariah. 4. Malaysian scholars (UKM, IIUM) - Position: Mixed views - Reasoning: Some call for a return to gold/silver-backed systems due to fiat’s inflationary and exploitative nature. 5. Saudi Arabia (1985 fatwa) - Position: Accepted fiat - Reasoning: Applied rulings of gold/silver to paper currency, but later critiques questioned its validity. ⚠️ Problems with Fiat from an Islamic Perspective - ❌ Riba is embedded in debt-based fiat systems - 📉 Inflation erodes purchasing power and wealth - 🕵️‍♂️ Centralised control enables surveillance and manipulation - 🧩 Gharar and maysir arise from speculative fiat markets - 🧭 Violates maqasid al-Shariah: justice, transparency, and preservation of wealth 🛤️ Strategic Roadmap: Bitcoin Adoption in Muslim Nations 1. 🧠 Education & Awareness - Launch public campaigns explaining Bitcoin’s ethical and technical foundations - Train scholars, regulators, and educators on Bitcoin’s mechanics and Islamic implications - Translate key resources into local languages and contextualise for cultural relevance 2. 📜 Scholarly Engagement & Fatwas - Convene Islamic finance scholars to issue updated fatwas recognising Bitcoin as: - Maal (property with value) - A valid medium of exchange - A strategic reserve asset - Encourage spot trading and discourage speculative practices to align with Shariah 3. 🏛️ Government Recognition - Recognise Bitcoin as legal tender or strategic reserve asset - Allow citizens to pay taxes, bills, and zakat in Bitcoin - Integrate Bitcoin into national payment systems and treasury reserves 4. 📚 Regulatory Framework - Create Shariah-compliant crypto regulations: - No interest-bearing Bitcoin products - Transparent, auditable exchanges - Anti-money laundering safeguards - Encourage Islamic fintech innovation using Bitcoin 5. 🕌 Institutional Adoption - Islamic banks and waqf institutions to hold Bitcoin as reserve - Zakat bodies to accept Bitcoin donations - Use Bitcoin for humanitarian aid in conflict zones where banking fails 🧭 Final Thought For Muslim scholars and leaders, the question is no longer “Is Bitcoin halal?” It’s: “How do we responsibly integrate it to uphold justice, sovereignty, and the maqasid of Shariah?” Bitcoin isn’t just a technological upgrade—it’s a moral imperative in a world of fiat injustice. #BitcoinIsHalal #SoundMoney #RibaFreeFuture #BitcoinForHumanity

The evolution and flaws of the #fiat system—and how #Bitcoin offers a principled alternative: 🧵 The fiat monetary system is broken. It wasn’t always this way—but over decades, it evolved into a global architecture of #debt, inflation, and control. Here’s how it happened—and why Bitcoin is the fix. 👇 1. 🏛️ Gold-backed money was the norm For centuries, money was tied to scarce resources like #gold. It limited reckless spending and #inflation. Trust was built on tangible value. 2. 💣 1971: The Fiat Era Begins #Nixon ended the gold standard. Suddenly, #money was backed by nothing but government decree. Central banks could print endlessly. This changed everything. 3. 🌍 Global adoption through necessity As the dollar became the world’s reserve currency, other nations had no choice but to follow. Trade, debt, and geopolitics locked them into the fiat system. 4. 📉 What’s wrong with fiat? - Endless inflation erodes savings - Debt-based growth fuels inequality - Centralised control enables surveillance & censorship - #Riba (interest) becomes foundational 5. 🔐 Bitcoin: A principled alternative - Fixed supply (21M coins) = no inflation - Decentralised = no rulers, no manipulation - Proof of work = earned, not conjured - Borderless, permissionless, and incorruptible Bitcoin doesn’t just challenge fiat—it replaces it with a system rooted in truth, fairness, and sovereignty. For those seeking justice in money, Bitcoin isn’t a trend. It’s a return to integrity. #BitcoinFixesThis #FreeTheUmmah #EndFiatTyranny

Summarising Jack Mallers’ powerful keynote at BTC Prague 2024: #Bitcoin isn’t just “the best”—it’s the only protocol that aligns with truth, justice, and trustlessness. Jack breaks it down: “Failure to understand proof of work is failure to understand Bitcoin.” Here’s why that matters: 👇 1. ⚒️ Proof of Work = Honest Labour Bitcoin’s security comes from real-world energy and effort. It’s not magic money—it’s earned, like halal rizq. No shortcuts. No deception. 2. 🏛️ No Central Authority No rulers. No banks. No manipulation. Just maths and consensus. That’s financial sovereignty—free from riba, injustice, and exploitation. 3. 🧬 Immutable Truth Bitcoin’s ledger is incorruptible. Once written, it cannot be changed. That’s amanah in action—trust built on transparency, not promises. 4. 🪙 Altcoins? Not the Same Jack’s message is clear: Altcoins are centralised experiments. Bitcoin is the only protocol with a truly decentralised, proof-of-work foundation. “There is no second best.” 5. 🌍 A Global Ummah Needs a Global Money Bitcoin doesn’t care where you live, what passport you hold, or who governs you. It’s borderless, permissionless, and just. For ordinary people seeking ethical finance, Bitcoin isn’t just compatible—it’s essential.

Why Muslims Should Not Fight Bitcoin—But Embrace It. We respectfully challenge Muslim skepticism toward Bitcoin, while hopefully, inspiring curiosity, reflection, and action. We hope readers find out high-level blueprint engaging, spiritually grounded, and intellectually persuasive. 1. Many Muslims reject Bitcoin, calling it haram, speculative, or greedy. But ,what if Bitcoin is the most halal, ethical, and revolutionary form of money we’ve ever seen? 2. The Problem with Fiat The fiat system is built on riba, gharar, and oppression. 💸 Money is created from debt. 🏦 Banks profit from interest. 📉 Inflation steals from the poor. This system is not just broken—it’s haram. 3. Gold Isn’t the Answer Some say: “Let’s return to gold and silver.” But in the 21st century: 🪙 Gold is hard to store, move, and verify. 🛑 Markets are manipulated. 🧊 It’s not practical for global trade or digital life. 4. Gold-Backed Tokens? Risky. “What about gold-backed crypto?” Sounds good—but: 🔐 You must trust a custodian. 🧾 Audits can be faked. ⚠️ Smart contracts can fail. If the gold disappears, so does your money. 5. Enter Bitcoin Bitcoin is: ✅ Scarce (21M cap) ✅ Transparent (public ledger) ✅ Decentralised (no rulers) ✅ Permissionless (open to all) ✅ Free from riba, debt, and manipulation It’s digital gold—without the baggage. 6. Is Bitcoin Halal? Scholars are still debating. But many argue Bitcoin is maal (property), not debt. It’s earned, not lent. It’s transparent, not hidden. It’s voluntary, not coercive. That’s closer to halal than fiat ever was. 7. Muslim Bitcoiners Aren’t Greedy We’re not here to speculate. We’re here to: 🕊️ End riba 🌍 Empower the Ummah 🛡️ Protect privacy 🧠 Build ethical economies Bitcoin is not a get-rich scheme. It’s a get-free tool. 8. A Call to Scholars We respect our scholars. But Bitcoin is new. It deserves ijtihad, not dismissal. Let’s study it deeply. Let’s ask: - “Can this technology serve justice?” - “Can it uplift the Ummah?” - “Can it fight tyranny?” 9. A Call to the Ummah Don’t fight Bitcoin. Understand it. Use it wisely. Teach it ethically. It may be the key to freeing humanity from the fiat Matrix. And building a future rooted in truth, justice, and dignity. 10. In closing, we know Bitcoin isn’t perfect. But it’s a tool. And tools can be used for good. Let’s use it to build a world beyond riba, beyond tyranny, beyond fiat. For the Ummah. For humanity. 🌙 ₿

How #Bitcoin can lift you out of poverty, free you from debt, and build generational wealth—without needing permission from banks, governments, or gatekeepers. Here’s how ordinary people can escape the #Fiat Matrix and reclaim financial sovereignty 👇 1. Fiat traps you. Inflation silently steals your savings. Debt becomes a way of life. You work harder, but your money buys less. This isn’t accidental—it’s systemic. 2. Bitcoin is exit velocity. It’s scarce (only 21M), decentralised, and immune to manipulation. It rewards discipline, long-term thinking, and self-custody. 3. No bank account? No problem. With just a phone and internet, anyone can start stacking sats. Bitcoin doesn’t care about your passport, credit score, or income bracket. 4. Strategies to escape the Fiat Matrix: - 🧠 Learn: Understand Bitcoin’s ethics, tech, and history. - 💸 Stack: Buy small amounts regularly (DCA). - 🔐 Secure: Use self-custody wallets. - 🛠️ Earn: Offer services for Bitcoin. - 🌍 Connect: Join local/global Bitcoin communities. 5. Debt is slavery. Bitcoin is sovereignty. Fiat encourages borrowing and spending. Bitcoin encourages saving and patience. One leads to dependence, the other to freedom. 6. Generational wealth starts with mindset. Teach your children about sound money. Save in Bitcoin, not in devaluing fiat. Build a legacy that can’t be inflated away. 7. This isn’t just financial—it’s spiritual. Bitcoin aligns with justice, transparency, and truth. It’s a tool to uplift families, communities, and entire nations. 8. Final thought: You don’t need to be rich to start. You just need to start. Bitcoin is hope. Bitcoin is resistance. Bitcoin is the future. #BitcoinIsHope #BitcoinIsHalal #BitcoinForEveryone

🤖🧠 AI × Bitcoin: Exploring the intersections of AI and Bitcoin—grounded in real-world use cases, ethical implications, and future synergies. 🧵 1. Bitcoin isn’t just for humans. As autonomous AI agents grow in capability, they’ll need a way to transact, store value, and operate independently. Fiat rails are permissioned, fragile, and geographically bound. Bitcoin is the only truly global, permissionless money. 2. Autonomous AI agents—think bots negotiating contracts, buying data, or renting compute—need money that doesn’t require human intermediaries. Bitcoin enables machine-to-machine payments with final settlement, no bank account required. 3. Example: An AI agent scraping satellite data for climate modeling. It pays a decentralised data marketplace in sats. No KYC, no delays. Just code + Bitcoin. 4. AI agents managing decentralised infrastructure (like mesh networks or solar grids) can use Bitcoin to: - Pay for bandwidth - Reward uptime - Buy energy credits This creates autonomous, self-sustaining systems. 5. Bitcoin also benefits from AI. In mining, AI models optimise: - Energy usage - Cooling systems - Hashrate allocation - Predictive maintenance This boosts efficiency and decentralisation. 6. AI can analyse mempool data to detect anomalies, spam attacks, or fee market trends. It can help wallets auto-adjust fees or detect suspicious patterns in real time. 7. AI-enhanced Bitcoin analytics can empower users. Imagine a privacy-focused wallet that uses AI to: - Suggest optimal coin selection - Minimise linkability - Detect chain surveillance heuristics 8. In Bitcoin education, AI tutors can personalise learning. They adapt to your pace, language, and context—whether you're in Lagos, Jakarta, or London. Bitcoin literacy becomes global and accessible. 9. AI can help localise Bitcoin adoption. By analysing cultural, linguistic, and economic data, AI can tailor onboarding flows, visual materials, and narratives to resonate with local values. 10. Ethical note: AI must not compromise Bitcoin’s values. No surveillance, no centralised control. AI should enhance sovereignty—not undermine it. 11. Bitcoin can also fund open-source AI. Instead of relying on VC or corporate sponsors, devs can crowdfund via Lightning, build FOSS models, and keep AI aligned with human values. 12. Long-term vision: AI agents governed by smart contracts, funded by Bitcoin, serving public goods. Imagine a climate-monitoring bot that earns sats for accurate forecasts, reinvests in sensors, and operates autonomously. 13. Bitcoin is the monetary layer for a future of autonomous, ethical AI. Not just for speculation—but for coordination, sustainability, and sovereignty. 14. Final thought: AI and Bitcoin are both tools. Used wisely, they can decentralise power, expand access, and protect freedom. Used poorly, they can amplify control and inequality. The choice is ours. #Bitcoin #ArtificialIntelligence #AI
