Bitcredit Protocol FAQ: Why are Bitcredit mints ("Wildcats") limited to minting only real commercial bills of exchange? Answer in 10 steps: a) Creation. 1. The goods sold by one business to another represent a real saving. 2. These goods serve for production, not consumption. 3. The bill of exchange represents their value in trade. 4. Currency minted from such a bill is backed by this value. b). Circulation 5. Companies can pay workers and suppliers with such currency. 6. People and businesses then buy goods with currency. 7. Currency ultimately pays for the issued bills of exchange. c. Redemption. 8. When the bill is redeemed in Bitcoin, both the bill and its minted currency are extinguished. 9. Bitcoin passes to another hand, but the quantity of Bitcoin stays the same. 10. The quantity of Bitcoin remains fixed at 21 million. ==> No inflation.

Bitcoin Credit Money Supply for the Real Economy

Get yourself some Testnet3 sats from a faucet and play with it.

Bitcredit Protocol 101 ================== Bitcoin today is like digital gold. Its fixed supply is suitable for savings, but not (yet) for everyday money… 1. because its exchange value swings wildly 2. because Bitcoin demand changes rapidly while supply does not. Bitcredit Solution ============== Bitcredit lets real businesses create temporary "Bitcoin credits" backed by real goods they produce. People can spend credits like Satoshis, right away. Credits redeem at maturity in actual Bitcoin on mainchain. Functionally for payments, for earning and spending, these credits are as good as (digital) gold, as Bitcoin. Even better in some ways: faster than Lightning, offers pretty good privacy, and costs zero transaction fees. Stability for Bitcoin =============== As more trade and production happens this way, the effective money supply auto-adjusts to match the quantity of money needed. This dampens volatility, a growing credit superstructure makes Bitcoin's exchange value, its purchasing power, more and more stable. The Bitcoin Difference ================== Physical gold and pre-fiat banknotes worked historically in this natural, free market fashion… … before central banks took over and captured gold politically for national strategic gold reserves. The bad ending for gold is history. Non-custodial Bitcoin can maybe avoid this fate.

Millions of small farmers in developing countries are not poor because they lack skill or demand. They are poor because the fiat system blocks them from turning their produce into liquidity, locking up their capital. #Bitcoin can fix this with Bitcredit Protocol.

We cannot sustainably earn #Bitcoin and spend #Bitcoin while the real economy stays on foul fiat currency. But how? Orange pilling merchants to accept Bitcoin is one. Hard. But the regional Bitcoin Economies pushed by fired-up enthusiasts show that it can be done. Follow @Federation of Bitcoin Circular Economies to see the progress. Now we also must orange pill 💊 the global supply chains. Make Bitcoin economies truly circular, bring them into international trade. That's even harder. But at Bitcredit Protocol we believe it can be done. Why? Because it must be done. If you like near impossible tasks, join us. We will celebrate every single win.

The 10 Rules of Bitcredit Protocol (which Wildcat mints must adhere to): 1. Proof-of-work: Only commercial e-bills for goods already produced, invoiced to other businesses, qualify for minting of Bitcoin credits (MoE). 2. Verifiable terms: E-bill maturity must match expected reflux from buyers, and no more than 12 months. 3. Verifiable prices: Invoice prices must be plausible. 4. Bitcoin rails: Payment is in Bitcoin, irrespective of e-bill denomination. 5. Verifiable redemption: Upon maturity, e-bills must be verifiably paid via Bitcoin mainchain or Lightning Network. 6. Non-custodial: Not your keys? Not your coins, nor your credits. 7. Privacy by default: Fungibility of credits through bearer instruments and censorship resistance. 8. Decentralisation: Wildcat mints in the Bitcredit Network compete independently under peer supervision. 9. Game theory: A clowder majority can eliminate rabid wildcats through punishment transactions. 10. Future money: No contractual convertibility before maturity.

Bitcredit Protocol continues to tighten eBill towards Beta and progressing the eCash stacks towards MVP Alpha. – Finished email-based verification of electronic signatures for eBill. – Progressed self-sovereign eBill counterparty contact sharing. – Advanced the mobile wallet payment flow and transaction list. – Deployed a Wildcat instance for upcoming dev and Alpha testing. - PWA decided insufficient for Wallet due to Apple walled garden blocking NFC and biometrics. – Now preparing native app store setup.

Bitcredit gave a well-received talk yesterday for the "Future Forward" innovation festival at #WeXelerate in Vienna. Topic: The unpredictable and opaque traditional banking system and the promise of #Bitcoin. People think money in a bank account is “theirs”. But it is not. A bank can freeze "your" money at any time, delay transfers, debank you, or block "your" funds, just like that, without giving any reason, let alone a valid one. #Bitcoin fixes this.

Bitcoin’s volatility is due to the fact that it is not yet used in global trade. Once it becomes part of the real economy, Bitcoin will be the ultimate stablecoin. The way to achieve this is by enabling Bitcoin based supply chain finance. Join Bitcredit at Bitcoin MENA 2025 to learn more.

Please read carefully! The Bitcredit Protocol is often confused with companies that offer Bitcoin-collateralised fiat loans. They could not be more different. Bitcoin-Collateralised Loans These are fiat loans issued by state-regulated lenders. Nothing about them escapes the fiat system. - You hand over your Bitcoin as collateral, but the loan you receive is still fiat. - The loans primarily serve wealthy Bitcoiners’ consumption, not production. - High interest rates slowly eat away at your Bitcoin. - If markets turn, your Bitcoin can be taken from you. - In reality, it’s no longer truly your Bitcoin. - You remain fully inside the foul fiat framework. Nothing changes. Bitcredit Protocol Bitcredit is not a company. It is a software protocol for real economic credit—without banks, without lenders, without fiat. - Credit is simply deferred payment between free companies, not issued by a provider. - Businesses gain a powerful new liquidity mechanism, fully inside the Bitcoin economy. - Every credit is backed by real goods (real proof-of-work) and secured by the payer’s actual wealth under global bill of exchange law. - Credit is denominated and redeemable in Bitcoin. No more fiat, ever. - Credit is used 100% for production, no exceptions, which means the Bitcoin economy grows faster than fiat economies. - Discount rates are set by the free market, not a centralised lender. - Financing becomes the lowest-cost option available. - The system is either self-custodial (counterparty risk) or non-custodial (issuer risk), NEVER custodial. - These mechanics stabilise Bitcoin and push volatility below fiat levels. Everything changes.
