TONIGHT! It's going to be massive. Over 150 attendees! I guess we have already earned the title of "The biggest regular Bitcoin meetup in the world"! 🚀🔥🇵🇾 image

There’s a huge gap between "hodlers" who view Bitcoin solely as an investment asset and bitcoiners who get that Bitcoin is money and want to spend it. There’s a flood of Bitcoin lending companies pushing you to borrow fiat against your bitcoin to spend. Yeah, it might make financial sense, but it’s not building Bitcoin economies. We need to SPEND bitcoin more! Spending it gives us all more sovereignty. If we can’t spend bitcoin directly P2P, we’re forever tied to middlemen. That’s not what Satoshi dreamed of…

I’m incredibly bullish on Bitcoin adoption in Paraguay. 🇵🇾 Last Saturday, our monthly meetup drew over 100 attendees. Tomorrow, the BitDevs meetup hosts ~50 participants, with 15 more on the waitlist (a technical event! 🤯). Then, this Saturday, a Bitcoin course at the local university for ~70 students. Pay attention, folks - something special is brewing here. 🚀

”Every social order incorporates among its key taboos the notion that people living in it should not think about how it will end and what rules may prevail in the new system that takes its place. Implicitly, whatever system exists is the last or the only system that will ever exist.“ - The Sovereign Individual
