I wrote a letter to The Guardian in response to their editorial which opens with: > The key to understanding crypto is that it has no “value” in any economic sense. My answer was not published, but I want to share it here. **Bitcoin Is Not Crypto** I've spent years in Zimbabwe, South Africa, and Zambia learning about people's real financial problems. What I've seen is completely different from what The Guardian describes. I've met teachers saving their wages when their currency collapses, farmers receiving remittances without losing 20% to corrupt middlemen, and human rights activists whose bitcoin can't be frozen by authoritarian governments like their bank accounts. For them, Bitcoin isn't speculation or gambling. It's a way to survive when traditional money fails. The Guardian writes from a privileged place where state-backed money is somehow stable. That's not the reality in much of Africa. When your national currency gets manipulated and becomes worthless, Bitcoin's volatility looks very different. Bitcoin is not crypto. Crypto is a caricature of Bitcoin. Stop conflating them, they're not the same. Bitcoin was created after 2008 as an alternative to a broken financial system—one built on cheap credit and endless growth that makes the rich richer and ruins our environment. Crypto enriches creators through insider deals and scams. I agree: Trump's World Liberty coin is a pump-and-dump scheme. Meme-coins are gambling. Worldcoin harvests biometric data from Africans for profit. Solana and similar projects are centralized. Crypto-trading to get rich quick is a losing game for regular people. But Bitcoin is different. No one controls it. Anyone can use it without asking permission. It can't be censored. New monetary technology takes decades to stabilize—maybe 50 years to reach mass adoption. These price crashes are part of that journey, but it's still the best-performing asset of the past decade. Exploiting people through crypto is wrong. That's not Bitcoin's fault—that's what bad actors do with open technology. https://anitaposch.com/bitcoin-not-crypto

„This time I am doing only a handful of slides!“ Result 35 slides 😂 Preparing my keynote for nostr:npub1dtvscxrhj224un2yeqvca5y4tp8ly02u2ndpeggzl4xf63c5c6ws53wc6t in Mauritius next week.

„Bitcoin für die Zivilgesellschaft“ my keynote at an event for nonprofits in Vienna. Around 80 people showed up. I was demonstrating how Bitcoin supports human rights and is an irreplaceable tool for civil society and democracy especially in authoritarian regimes. Also showing how nostr:npub155m2k8ml8sqn8w4dhh689vdv0t2twa8dgvkpnzfggxf4wfughjsq2cdcvg can be used to collect donations. Went very well, audience learned about the other side of Bitcoin outside pure hodling and speculation. nostr:npub16tcathdvfgx30ds3fjy8d80kwwdks5pe29ms4yda2ydzqat4uydsyq5jkf thanks for organization.

Giving a talk about „Bitcoin for the Civil Society“ in Vienna this evening. Means I am a bit nervous and waiting the whole day for it to begin. I prefer morning or at least early afternoon engagements.

I really did not think that the Danish are so authoritarian leaning. nostr:nevent1qqsq4faealecllkyqkumxym90gfppe84ztd8r3h00vnn2yvxdaqpw4qzyz5pejnc7krta6m3jguumxczugaxppf8esw6vhtzrvtn60au8xussqcyqqqqqqgunq7py

Bitcoin is about being an alternative to the current money system, so I agree fully. Spend and replace your sats. nostr:note1vzczrfkt8mclk5jvxy70qqpsgte9dkrvx2nd7jxq5ktle5ljucaq4036xr

Happy Bitcoin Whitepaper Day! 17 years ago Satoshi published the concept for Bitcoin. https://anitaposch.com/bitcoin-whitepaper

I visited Croatia several times in my youth. Had no idea that there was serious inflation too. Stjepan‘s aunt back then did already the „Saylor move“ by getting a loan and paying it off through the devaluation of their currency. Smart ass! nostr:note1ywrtpp2clrfp966rh66kfk5cx3m67uendcs3r9km43y0qjr2mggsp3guu9
