🎓 Sound Money Saturday Shoutout Congrats to our latest Bitcoin Diploma grad in North Dakota! Here’s what he had to say about the course: "The course was direct, engaging, and conversation driven, which I really appreciated. The meetup location and accommodations were excellent, and our teacher made it easy to ask questions and stay involved. Highly recommended for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of Bitcoin in a practical, real world setting." We encourage everyone to learn about Bitcoin — it matters now more than ever. 🧡⚡ #Bitcoin #SoundMoney #Nostr image
🔔 Sound Money Sunday: Run a Bitcoin Node A Bitcoin node connects to the network and checks every block and transaction. It lets you verify Bitcoin yourself—no trust required. As Andreas Antonopoulos said: “Not your keys, not your coins.” But also—not your node, not your rules. Running a node is a powerful way to take more responsibility for your financial future and contribute to Bitcoin adoption. If you’re not running a node—you should be. Verify Everything – Don’t trust, verify. Your node checks every transaction. Protect Your Privacy – No third parties seeing your wallet or balances. Defend Bitcoin – Nodes enforce the 21 million limit and reject invalid blocks. Stay Sovereign – Running a node makes you a true participant, not just a user. Need help getting started? Just let us know! #Bitcoin #RunANode #SoundMoneySunday #DontTrustVerify #Sovereignty #BismarckBitcoin image
Sound Money Sunday: From the Frontier to Cyberspace 🚀 In 1804, Lewis & Clark set out to chart the unknown, documenting rivers, peaks, and encounters for the benefit of all. As Meriwether Lewis reflected: “Though in some places we have lost our way, yet we have met with many interesting objects, which we have endeavoured to preserve by description.” 📜 Documentation Lewis & Clark meticulously recorded their journey—handwriting notes, sketching maps, and preserving observations on paper for future explorers. Their journals became a shared record of discovery. Today, Bitcoiners carry that legacy forward—sharing ideas, code, and lessons across relays to preserve knowledge for all. 🧭 Navigation & Sovereignty Frontier explorers used maps, compasses, and journals; Bitcoiners now chart digital terrain with self‑custody tools—hardware wallets, encryption, and open‑source protocols—empowering individual freedom, privacy, and security. Each nostr user becomes both navigator and guardian of their knowledge. 🤝 Community Like the Corps of Discovery, Bitcoin pioneers build local meetups, peer-to-peer economies, and mentorship networks—growing stronger together within a global ecosystem. 🔔 Call to Action Join the Bismarck Bitcoin Meetup! Blaze a new trail—explore Bitcoin, the digital frontier, and connect with fellow explorers building a sound‑money future in North Dakota.
💡 Sound Money Sunday Phil Knight didn’t just create Nike—he ran it into existence. From selling shoes out of his car to building a global brand, it was all Proof-of-Work. Runners know: the road is long, the pace is tough, and most people quit. But we build anyway. 🏃 Bitcoiners are doing the same—laying a new foundation for sound money. Normalizing what was once fringe. Educating. Building communities. Just like Oregonians once blazed a trail to a new world, Bitcoiners are blazing a trail to economic sovereignty and freedom. There will be struggles. There should be struggles. Keep going. Don’t stop. Just do it. Inspired by David Senra and his episode on Founders Podcast! Getting so much value out of his content and getting close to finishing the autobiography Shoe Dog! 👟 #SoundMoney #ProofOfWork #Bitcoin #BismarckBitcoin #FoundersPodcast image
⚡ Sound Money Saturday Recap! Today at Bismarck Bitcoin, we dove into the Lightning Network — Bitcoin’s fast and low-fee layer for global payments.

Five new Lightning wallets were set up with @Alby, and attendees sent sats to each other to see Bitcoin in action! ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️ "For the things we have to learn before e can do them, we learn by doing them" Aristotle Thanks to everyone who came out to The Innovation Barn! 💡🌍🧡 #Bitcoin #LightningNetwork #BismarckBitcoin image
