Can the start-up city + #Bitcoin model make life better for #Hondurans? Zussel Abigail Ramos of #AmityAge - the first #Bitcoin education center in #CentralAmerica - is proof that it can. Check out our interview with her on Fountain. https://fountain.fm/show/qrTEK5EkjYGEPOfMP4cJ

Zussel Abigail Ramos is a resident of Prospera - a start-up city in Honduras - and she lives on a #Bitcoin standard. Is the way she lives a new model for Hondurans? Learn more in my interview with her.

Jorge Jraissati has been educating politicians and others in power about how #Bitcoin is an essential tool for preserving human rights and maintaining free and open societies. Some of his efforts have resulted in US Senators saying they won’t sign off on Warren’s anti-Bitcoin bill. We commend him for his efforts. More on this in our interview with him.

@herrytheeagle is doing big things with #Bitcoin in Africa’s biggest country (by population) - #Nigeria

We're all in the same fiat system that devalues our time and energy. With #bitcoin, we can choose to opt out of that system (to some degree) now. More from @Sooly⚡️سولي 🇱🇧🇧🇪🇦🇪🇦🇴...

"We're all Lebanese. Most just don't know it yet." This is how @JAN3 founder @Samson Mow responded to a tweet thread on the economic situation in Lebanon from @Sooly⚡️سولي 🇱🇧🇧🇪🇦🇪🇦🇴 — a consultant, entrepreneur and investor in the Bitcoin space. What Mow was insinuating was that the fiat system is going to catch up with all of us eventually — that we'll all see our lives financially upended, just as the Lebanese currently are, because of excess money printing and poor fiscal policy. Luckily for Lebanon, they have a citizen like Sooly who's investing in the Bitcoin ecosystem so to make it more accessible to the Lebanese and to many in the Global South who will benefit from access to it. In our interview, we discuss the macroeconomic situation in Lebanon, what Bitcoin adoption there looks like and why Bitcoin is Sooly's ikigai. Enjoy!

As English speakers, we can stand to be more grateful for the fact that a seemingly infinite amount of resources is available to those of us who want to learn more about #Bitcoin. We share a link to some of these resources as well as information on how to mitigate the high fees on the Bitcoin base chain in the latest edition of our newsletter.

Like many in the #Bitcoin space, Loic Kassamoto works to promote greater #Bitcoin adoption with little financial compensation for his efforts. To him, making a profit is secondary to helping the people of #Benin and #Francophone #Africa adopt #Bitcoin. We salute his efforts.

Money launderers are 60,000% more likely to use US dollars than #bitcoin, according to the United Nations. Bitcoin is for savers, says the data. And activists use it, too. More in the latest edition of our newsletter.

My favorite part of this is that there’s no sell button on Swan’s site. Yet, he’s selling #bitcoin in the background. View quoted note →

@Ray Youssef is on a mission to empower The Global South. And he only has one rule when it comes to working with him: Only Lions Need Apply

Don’t buy trash. Buy #bitcoin. (Not financial advice.)

The Spot Bitcoin ETFs Will Be Trash

(Oh, and Happy New Year!)

Do your work in #Bitcoin, and do it well. Don’t worry about reaching everyone. Wise words from Nzonda Fotsing, author of Bitcoin Kids.
