Bitcoin is Money — not a billboard. BIP110 restores Bitcoin’s purpose as a peer‑to‑peer monetary network by curbing data spam, tightening consensus safety, and keeping node operation affordable for everyone. It’s a temporary, reversible safeguard that protects decentralization, efficiency, and neutrality — ensuring Bitcoin remains sound, sovereign money rather than a playground for arbitrary data. image

Lloyds has debanked The Canary with no warning, no explanation, and is reportedly withholding a substantial amount of their money, leaving the outlet in a "financially precarious situation." (CityAM) This is not a fringe case. It's part of a growing pattern where banks quietly distance themselves from individuals and organisations they consider "politically controversial." (CityAM) When a media outlet can be dropped into crisis overnight- without recourse, without transparency- it should be a wake‑up call for anyone who still believes traditional systems are neutral. This is why Digital Hijrah matters. This is why Bitcoin matters. This is why Nostr matters. This is why Linux and GrapheneOS matter. They’re not hobbies. They’re not tech toys. They’re parallel systems, built so you cannot be silently switched off. 🔗 DigitalHijrah.com Learn the tools of sovereignty: #Bitcoin #Nostr #Linux #GrapheneOS image

The conversation between @Danny Knowles and @Simon Dixon on What Bitcoin Did lands like a blueprint for anyone serious about sovereignty in a world drifting toward financial dependency. Dixon doesn’t waste a second - he maps out the structural failures of the current system, the incentives that keep people trapped, and the practical steps individuals can take to exit that trap without waiting for permission. I think it's one the best conversations from Simon's recent talks and podcasts. Highly recommended - a roadmap for anyone who wants to quietly, steadily build independence in a system that increasingly punishes it. Brother Simon Dixon on How to Get Free: "Own more bitcoin this month than last month. Own more bitcoin this week than last week. Own more bitcoin today than yesterday. Self custody. Run a node. Invest in community infrastructures. Build your freedom over time. Have a 10 year plan."

Seha Islam’s 2025 Muslim Bitcoin Summit talk is a sharp, uncompromising argument that Bitcoin is the only viable foundation for rebuilding truly Islamic capital markets—markets free from ribā, opacity, and state‑engineered monetary injustice. He frames Bitcoin not as a speculative asset, but as the first monetary system in modern history that structurally aligns with Qur’anic ethics, classical fiqh, and the economic architecture of early Islamic civilisation. He positions this as both a revival of Islamic civilisation and a practical roadmap for the 21st century. He asks what the risk-free rate as Muslims. If we don't do anything with our Bitcoin, we still need to pay zakat at 2.5% As Bitcoin becomes more adopted and volatility is reduced, it becomes easier to invest in the real economy, in order to get a nominal positive return. Seha’s contribution is significant because he does not argue for “Islamic Bitcoin investing.” He argues for something far more ambitious: Bitcoin as the monetary spine of a rebuilt Islamic economic order. Learn about Bitcoin. Be productive. Save in Bitcoin. Teach others. image

Subhan Tariq’s ( @Subhan Tariq, Esq. ) Muslim Bitcoin Summit (Dallas 2025) closing talk is a call to Muslim courage: stop outsourcing your financial destiny, recognise the moral rot of the fiat system, and step into a future where Muslims reclaim dignity, agency, and accountability through Bitcoin. The Ummah cannot claim to oppose riba while remaining fully dependent on a fiat system built on riba. Bitcoin isn’t a tech trend — it’s a moral, economic, and spiritual hijrah. We’re living through a global monetary order that extracts, inflates, and erodes Muslim wealth. That’s not an accident. It’s engineered. And the longer we stay plugged into it, the more we outsource our dignity and agency. Bitcoin flips that script. A fixed supply. Honest weights and measures. No central authority. No manipulation. No silent theft through inflation. It aligns with Islamic ethics in a way the fiat system never can. Subhan’s call was simple and powerful: Stop waiting for institutions. Stop waiting for permission. Stop waiting for “scholarly consensus” from people who haven’t even studied the technology. Build sovereignty now. Learn Bitcoin. Hold your own keys. Support circular economies. Teach your kids sound money. Build the parallel rails the Ummah needs. This decade is a window. A chance to reclaim financial integrity before the fiat system’s decline accelerates. Bitcoin is not just a tool — it’s a responsibility. image

I've added my original review of @Muslim Bitcoiner seminal book, Anti-Riba Money: Dismantling Usury Through Bitcoin. A clear, uncompromising look at how modern money quietly institutionalises usury — and why Bitcoin’s neutral, non‑debt monetary rails offer the first real path out of the Riba‑based financial order. This should be mandatory reading for all Bitcoiners, not just Muslims. image
