At first you’ve never heard of it. Then you ignore it. Then you laugh at it. Then you think it’s a scam. Then you notice it’s still around. Then inflation is eating away at your future plans. Then you keep hearing about the growing national debt. Then what do you do?

You work for 8 hours to live 4 You work for 5 days to barely enjoy 2 You work for 10 hours to eat in 15 minutes You work for 50 weeks to have 2 weeks of freedom You work for 40 years to still struggle to retire Next time you ask yourself, "should I take the risk?" Instead ask..."Will I regret not trying?"

When communities spontaneously start using bitcoin, they keep value local and remove themselves from the planned inflation of government mandated currency.

People say bitcoin is confusing.

Just think what this can do for Mendocino businesses … Square, the payments platform owned by Jack Dorsey’s Block, Inc., has launched its bitcoin payment integration, allowing the first businesses to start accepting bitcoin at their terminals. The system uses the Bitcoin Lightning Network to facilitate instant and low-cost payments. Business owners can choose to keep the bitcoin or instantly convert it to dollars.

Simply put: Fixed Supply – 21 million cap, enforced by consensus and code Decentralization – No central issuer or single point of failure Immutability – Transactions are irreversible and final Portability – Send value anywhere in the world in minutes Divisibility – Can be split into 100 million sats per bitcoin Durability – Digital and incorruptible; not subject to physical decay Verifiability – Anyone can audit the supply and transaction history Censorship Resistance – No one can block or reverse your payment Neutrality – Rules apply equally to everyone, everywhere Security – Backed by the most secure computing network in the world

Even Gandalf, if he puts on the ring, is going to get corrupted by it. The power to create money is the one ring and with bitcoin we're taking that ring off and we're removing a burden that the state doesn't even want. It thinks it wants it, but it doesn't actually want it. And by taking off the ring the state can become good again because it doesn't have this overwhelming corrupting temptation to print money into existence. - Jesse Posner

And now a quick look at the financial markets…

“The dawn of this day heralded the dawning of a new age. It’s a time of exhilaration, reflection, hope, fulfillment – as a centuries’ old dream starts toward reality.” - Walter Cronkite

At first, bitcoin seems complicated.

One voice challenged the system…

WELCOME! …to Mendocino.

Opt out with bitcoin.
