“Bitcoin is one of the only functioning free markets we have left.” @jack mallers dropped this pearl of wisdom during our chat at @BTC Prague. “There’s not enough filthy fiat to support all this debt and spending.”

I am finally back online after running the official livestream news desk at @BTC Prague. We did 24 interviews over 3 days at the event, with our interview with @jack mallers a big highlight. I’ll be dropping loads of snippets from here on out! Please repost if you enjoy what I’m putting out!

Bitcoiners please ❤️&🔂

After years of planning, I am launching a Bitcoin-focused interview show. The Lumen Podcast ☀️ It's a great pleasure to start this journey with Ep. 1 feat. @Pierre Rochard Please subscribe to the YouTube channel,❤️& 🔁 https://youtube.com/@thelumenpodcast?si=1FYrjnYtpFqX31u1

This made me so bullish on Bitcoin. I’ve earned ~9000 sats posting content on @primal this year. I just used that Bitcoin to pay for coffee at Bitcoin Amsterdam. Earn sats creating content, then let the Bitcoin flow with Lightning ⚡️ @Joe Nakamoto did I do this right 😏

"Why would I spend my Bitcoin? It's your one chance to save generational wealth." ❌ You'll often hear that from Bitcoiners in the Western world. But in 🇿🇦, we have a different relationship with money. "When you do start spending Bitcoin, you buy more Bitcoin so you can spend it as well, then you end up saving more as well. So you actually end up in a better position," says Carl van Wyk from @MoneyBadger. It's even more powerful in Bitcoin circular economies, as Hermann Vivier from @BitcoinEkasi explains. "What we're trying to do is to get Bitcoin to flow within the local community. It's not about how many merchants you onboard. It's about what happens to the sats that you spend," Vivier explains. "It's not about going out and onboarding shops. It's about onboarding one shop and then playing detective and finding out what they are doing with the sats that they are receiving." "You want to try and circulate the sats in the local community. You don't want those sats to leave the local community as far as possible. And with the effect being that when people are spending sats in our local circular economy, the value stays within the community." This was one of my favourite Bitcoin-focused #CHAINREACTION shows to date. You can find the full video on X.

Why are so many Bitcoiners skeptical about Bitcoin Treasury Companies 🤔 🤯 Hard to understand financial engineering 💹 Share shilling tied to BTC Bitcoin OG @Pierre Rochard unpacks the core reasons and also explains Nakamoto PIPE unlock situation Full 📺 in the comments 👇

Probably an unpopular opinion - but we need to get Bitcoiners actively involved in the World Economic Forum 👇👇👇 My experience in Davos this year made it evidently clear that Bitcoin remains misunderstood and undervalued as hard money. Naturally, it’s also the antithesis of how a globalist institution like the WEF wants the world to operate. Getting the right people speaking inside the forum is crucial to changing the perception of Bitcoin and informing politicians and heads of industry to change their thinking. I’d love to see @Michael Saylor @Adam Back @Samson Mow @Saifedean Ammous and others talking on an exclusively Bitcoin focused panel next year

The World Economic Forum doesn’t talk about Bitcoin - so I made sure we did in 2025. I took the chance to ask if the US will adopt a Bitcoin strategic reserve during the 'Crypto at a Crossroads' session inside this year's WEF conference. Coinbase's Brian Armstrong remains confident we will see a Bitcoin reserve in America. Interestingly, South Africa's Reserve Bank Governor Lesetja Kganyago made it evident that many still don't understand the underlying value proposition of Bitcoin. Armstrong provided an important response: "Many things have been used as money over the years. I think it's clear at this point that, you know, Bitcoin is a better form of money than gold. It is provably scarce, just like gold, but it's more portable and divisible. So you can actually use it. It was the best performing asset of the last ten years. And so for a store of value, I think it's going to be important for governments to hold this over time. It may not it might start with being 1% of their reserves, but I think over time it'll come to be equal to or greater than gold reserves."
