Another inspiring Bitcoin story Buena Vista, Colorado is becoming a new Bitcoin hub * already 19 businesses onboarded already (more than Colorado Spings) * Chamber of Commerce actively promoting it * Feedback from businesses (who were not bitcoiners) includes: "Our instore sales have increased, and 20% of our sales are now in Bitcoin" "it feels cleaner" "it feels more natural" "1 in 8 of our sales are now in Bitcoin" How did this happen? One person who in his spare time doing something we can all do - talking to people with a mindset of service. Luke Cortese(@ABCundrstandBTC) is the honeybadger who has been behind this incredible story. But it gets better Each month he runs a "treasure hunt" where new members of the community learn about Bitcoin. 25 new people started using Bitcoin on the last one. AND He's open sourcing the model so other small towns across the country can start onboarding new businesses. He's already gotten enquiries from neighboring towns, and states.

Jeffrey who?

All we need to do is bring the troops home, close up the foreign bases, shutter the CIA, balance the budget, pay down the debt, restart domestic manufacturing, revamp education, shrink the gov., support family farms, create affordable housing, end the Fed, eat healthy food, abandon the algorithms, control Ai, set term limits for all public officials, harness the sun’s energy, make plastic biodegradable… …then everything will be alright.

Without the forever wars, intelligence agencies, surveillance, opaque tax codes, ever increasing numbers of laws, financial mismanagement and expanding government… …American confidence can flourish.

Most people feel inflation, they just don’t connect it to the money itself.

21,000,000 BTC / 8,000,000,000 humans = 0.002625 BTC each. Bitcoin was never designed so everyone could have one. It was designed so no one could print more.

Bitcoin might be more popular if it was: - Controlled by a small number of people. - The most popular money for criminals. - Printed at a rate of 7% per year. - Easy to reverse transactions. - Limited by banking hours. But the dollar has a strong monopoly on all of this.

In Mendocino back in the ‘90s we had our own local currency called Seed. Today we can use bitcoin as a local currency, keep value within our community and strengthen our local economy…like they do in Lugano Switzerland, El Zonte El Salvador, Jericoacoara Brazil etc.

Kevin Warsh, the new chairman of the Federal Reserve, on bitcoin.

If I wanted to live in a society where everything I do on my device is collected, when I walk down the street I’m surveilled, where my car has a kill switch should it think I’m impaired, and where I’m given a social credit score… …I’d move to China.

Weather is a natural phenomenon. Inflation is a man-made phenomenon. Gold is natural scarcity. Bitcoin is man-made scarcity.

America is messy. We’re facing fiscal irresponsibility, forever wars, broken politics… But buried under all that America is still here: neighbors showing decency, entrepreneurs taking risks, the comfort of apple pie and baseball, enduring creativity and can-do attitude that defines us. We can find this America in our daily lives. 🇺🇸

Bitcoin is a pure protocol — no government no corporation, no one controls it. Digital but cash-like: pseudonymous, private, and ideal as a local currency. Nothing like Zelle, PayPal or payment apps where every move is tracked. This is money you actually own and can spend freely.
