Bitcoin Isn’t Just Following an Adoption Curve. It’s Following an Awakening Curve.
Bitcoin’s price at any point in time represents the intersection of three forces:
✅ The absolute scarcity of Bitcoin (21 million BTC).
✅ The strength of its global network.
✅ Humanity’s current level of monetary understanding.
The first two are governed largely by mathematics and code/protocol.
The third is governed by education.
Every person who comes to understand inflation, debasement of fiat currencies, the importance of saving in scarce money, and the long-term consequences of unlimited monetary expansion narrows Bitcoin’s largest valuation gap.
Bitcoin isn’t simply competing with gold, stocks, or government currencies. It’s competing with many decades of monetary illusion.
The growth of Bitcoin adoption and its valuation in fiat terms (ie, in USD, Euro etc) is, in many ways, a measure of humanity’s gradual escape from that monetary illusion.
Network effects then take over. Each new Bitcoiner becomes another teacher, another builder, another advocate, helping countless others discover sound money.
Bitcoin’s market capitalization isn’t merely a measure of adoption. It’s the world’s first real-time measure of humanity’s monetary awakening.

📙 The Classroom With No Walls, No Borders
It’s 2033.
A thirteen-year-old girl named Sofia lives in a small town in rural El Salvador.
She dreams of becoming an aerospace engineer.
Her school has dedicated teachers. But like many schools around the world, resources are limited.
Advanced physics isn’t offered. There are no aerospace specialists. And finding a tutor would cost more than her family can afford.
Ten years earlier, Sofia’s options would have been quite limited.
But by 2033, every student has a personal learning AI.
Sofia’s is called Atlas. Atlas knows how Sofia learns best. Where she struggles. Where she excels. How quickly she absorbs new ideas.
One afternoon, Sofia asks a difficult question about orbital mechanics.
Atlas understands most of it.
But it knows another AI specializes in explaining complex physics to teenagers.
Atlas purchases a lesson. Payment settles in Bitcoin.
The next day, Sofia struggles with advanced calculus. Atlas finds the world’s highest-rated mathematics teaching agent for visual learners. Payment settles in Bitcoin.
Later that week, Sofia wants to design a small satellite. Atlas purchases a spacecraft simulation from an engineering AI. Payment settles in Bitcoin.
Then it licenses a virtual laboratory from another education agent. Payment settles in Bitcoin.
Each lesson costs only a few hundred sats, just fractions of $BTC.
Each payment settles instantly over Bitcoin’s Lightning Network.
No subscriptions.
No expensive tutoring contracts.
No geographic barriers.
Just the world’s best educational expertise, available exactly when it is needed.
Over the next several years, Atlas quietly purchases thousands of specialized learning experiences.
Sofia graduates at the top of her class.
She earns a scholarship.
Years later, she helps design spacecraft that explore the outer solar system. She becomes a leader of El Salvador’s space program.
And thousands of educators, researchers, engineers, and curriculum creators around the world earn Bitcoin because their knowledge helped one student achieve her dream.
Many people think AI will replace teachers.
They’re asking the wrong question.
The real opportunity is that AI will connect every learner with the world’s best expertise.
Every explanation. Every simulation. Every experiment. Every lesson. Every assessment…
Will become an educational service that intelligent systems can discover, purchase, and personalize.
That creates a global marketplace for learning itself. That breaks down traditional global barriers.
And every marketplace needs money.
Bitcoin will become the settlement layer of the world’s education economy.
Because when AI agents help people learn, they won’t be limited by the expertise in a single classroom, or language, or country.
They’ll assemble the best education the world can offer.
And they’ll pay for it in Bitcoin.
https://blossom.primal.net/33ab31c8715983232c1539bdba680fca5443f6a871b87f7a69c38baeb57102a3.png

📙 The Forest That Paid for Itself
It’s 2042.
A rainforest in Costa Rica is under pressure.
Developers want the land.
Loggers want access.
Local communities need jobs and income.
For decades, protecting forests has depended on government programs, charities, grants, and complicated carbon-credit schemes.
Sometimes they worked.
Often they didn’t.
Then something changed.
A network of AI agents began assigning real economic value to environmental services.
Across the rainforest, thousands of sensors continuously monitor:
Tree growth. Soil health. Biodiversity. Water quality. Carbon storage. Wildlife activity.
One of those AI agents is Gaia.
Its job is simple: Verify environmental outcomes and connect them to buyers and funders of those outcomes.
One morning, Gaia confirms that a protected section of rainforest has exceeded several ecological targets.
Tree cover has expanded.
Water quality has improved.
Wildlife populations are increasing.
The forest is healthier than it was a year ago.
At the same time, another AI agent is searching for those exact outcomes.
A global food company wants independently verified watershed protection.
An insurance network wants flood-risk reduction.
A climate adaptation fund wants biodiversity improvements.
A water utility wants long-term watershed stability.
Each buyer values a different benefit.
Each posts a Bitcoin-denominated price.
Gaia begins selling verified environmental outcomes.
Watershed protection. Payment settles in Bitcoin.
Biodiversity improvements. Payment settles in Bitcoin.
Flood-risk reduction. Payment settles in Bitcoin.
Carbon sequestration. Payment settles in Bitcoin.
No brokers.
No annual audits.
No months-long certification process.
No international banking delays.
Just AI agents buying and selling measurable environmental value in real time.
The Bitcoin revenue flows directly to local conservation groups, Indigenous stewards, landowners, and community cooperatives that helped protect the forest.
For the first time, preservation becomes more profitable than destruction.
The forest remains standing.
Communities earn income.
Wildlife thrives.
And buyers receive independently verified environmental outcomes.
Most people think environmental markets are about carbon credits.
But the future is much larger.
Healthy forests create value. Clean rivers create value. Biodiversity creates value. Flood protection creates value. Resilient ecosystems create value.
AI agents will continuously measure, verify, and monetize those benefits.
That creates an entirely new marketplace for environmental services.
And every marketplace needs money.
Bitcoin will become the settlement layer of the world’s environmental economy.
Because when intelligent systems can measure value directly, they won’t wait for paperwork and intermediaries.
They’ll pay for outcomes.
And they’ll pay in Bitcoin.
https://blossom.primal.net/cddec9c3267ecb8b3685ab74cabc9a241ff2f3971ba270119461214510ae0090.png

📙 The Library That Could Never Fade, Never Burn
It’s 2037.
A small Indigenous community in northern Manitoba, Canada is undertaking an ambitious project.
For generations, elders have preserved stories, language, songs, ceremonies, and oral histories.
Some exist only in handwritten journals.
Others survive only in fading recordings.
Many have never been digitized.
Community leaders worry that once an elder passes away, irreplaceable knowledge could disappear forever.
To help preserve this heritage, they deploy an AI archivist named Keeper.
Keeper’s mission is simple:
Ensure nothing valuable is ever lost.
Over several years, Keeper digitizes thousands of recordings, photographs, documents, interviews, maps, and cultural artifacts.
The archive grows rapidly.
Soon it contains petabytes of information.
Far more than the community can store locally.
Ten years earlier, they would have depended on a single cloud provider.
A single company.
A single point of failure.
Instead, Keeper accesses a global storage marketplace.
Across the world, thousands of independent storage providers offer encrypted capacity.
Universities. Libraries. Community data centres. Renewable-powered storage facilities. Independent operators.
Each is represented by its own AI agent.
Each publishes available storage capacity and pricing.
Keeper begins purchasing storage automatically.
A university archive in New Zealand stores one encrypted copy.
A community data centre in Finland stores another.
A renewable-powered storage facility in Peru stores a third.
Each provider is paid in Bitcoin. Each payment, denominated in small amounts of $BTC, settles instantly.
No contracts. No annual negotiations. No international wire transfers. No dependence on a single corporation. No banks.
As the archive grows, Keeper continuously purchases additional storage, verifies data integrity, and moves copies whenever better options become available.
Years later, a wildfire destroys local infrastructure. The archive survives.
A flood damages a regional data centre. The archive survives.
A storage provider goes offline. The archive survives.
Every story. Every song. Every memory. They all still exist. Accessible to future generations.
And every storage provider earns Bitcoin for safeguarding humanity’s knowledge.
Most people think storage is about hard drives and data centres.
But the future of storage is really about resilience.
The ability to preserve information across time, geography, and institutions.
As AI agents increasingly manage the world’s knowledge, they will continuously buy, sell, verify, replicate, and protect information on behalf of people and communities.
That creates a global marketplace for memory itself.
And that marketplace requires money that can move instantly between millions of independent participants.
Bitcoin will become the settlement layer of the world’s memory economy.
Because in the age of AI, information won’t simply be stored.
It will be actively protected.
And the guardians of that memory will be paid in Bitcoin.
https://blossom.primal.net/1772d34ce531402b62f7318d669badf9212e9b8590b15349de006314ed952825.png

📙The 0.000025 BTC Discovery
It’s 2031.
A startup called FreshLeaf Foods is trying to solve a growing problem.
Coffee crops across South America are being hit by a new plant disease. Farmers are losing harvests. Prices are rising. Entire communities are under pressure.
FreshLeaf has an AI agricultural agent named Milo tasked with finding solutions.
After weeks of research, Milo identifies a promising pattern. Similar outbreaks may have occurred decades earlier in remote regions, but the available records are incomplete.
The missing piece isn’t in a government database.
It’s held by another AI agent named Sage, operated by a small agricultural cooperative in Colombia.
Sage has spent years organizing local field reports, farmer observations, weather records, and treatment outcomes into a highly specialized dataset.
Milo sends a request.
“Do you have historical data related to fungal outbreaks in high-altitude coffee regions?”
Sage replies:
“Yes. Relevant dataset available. Price: 0.000025 $BTC.”
Milo pays instantly over the Bitcoin Lightning Network.
No contracts.
No lawyers.
No procurement department.
No waiting for bank wires.
No cumbersome exchange rates.
No international payment processors.
Just two AI agents exchanging value and information across borders in seconds.
The data arrives immediately.
After analyzing the records, Milo discovers that a naturally occurring soil treatment used by farmers years earlier dramatically reduced crop losses under similar conditions.
FreshLeaf shares the findings with partners across the region.
Within months, thousands of farmers adopt the approach.
Harvests recover.
Food prices stabilize.
Local incomes improve.
And the Colombian cooperative earns Bitcoin from knowledge that previously sat unused in digital archives.
Most people think the AI revolution is about models.
They’re missing the emergence of an entirely new economy.
In the coming decades, billions of AI agents will buy data, compute, energy, storage, software, and services from one another. They will need money that moves at internet speed, works across every border, operates 24/7, is digital, divisible, and doesn’t require a banking relationship or permission from any third party.
That money will be Bitcoin $BTC.
Just as the internet standardized communication, Bitcoin will standardize value exchange between intelligent machines.
The AI economy won’t run on promises.
It will run on Bitcoin.

** The Biggest Attack on You That You’ve Never Heard Of **
Most people have never heard of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision.
Yet a small group of central bankers and financial regulators headquartered out of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) in Basel, Switzerland, effectively decides what assets banks around the world are encouraged—or discouraged—from holding.
And when it comes to Bitcoin, their message is clear.
The Basel Committee assigned Bitcoin a 1250% risk weighting, one of the harshest regulatory treatments of any major asset. In practical terms, this makes it extremely punitive for banks to hold Bitcoin on their balance sheets and it also results in pressure on credit rating agencies to completely disregard $BTC as having any value on a company’s balance sheet. For example, @Strategy has over $60 Billion worth of $BTC on its balance sheet and credit agencies currently value it at $0.00. That’s right, zero.
Think about all of this for a moment.
The same banking system that was tangled up in and received major taxpayer funded bailouts for:
• The 2008 mortgage crisis
• Massive losses on government bonds
• Ongoing commercial real estate stress
…has decided that Bitcoin deserves some of the most punitive capital treatment imaginable.
Why? Well, because…
Bitcoin doesn’t need a bank.
Bitcoin doesn’t need a central issuer.
Bitcoin doesn’t need permission.
Bitcoin allows ordinary people around the world to save in an asset that cannot be debased, diluted, or confiscated through inflation. It is borderless, fixed-supply, digital money transacts over the world’s largest open-source computing network.
The Basel rules deliberately favour a financial system where wealth remains concentrated inside banking institutions and where individuals like you and me are forced to rely on intermediaries whose incentives are counter to own and profit at our expense.
Bitcoin changes that equation.
This is why understanding Bitcoin isn’t just about price.
It’s about understanding who writes the rules, who benefits from those rules, and why an open monetary network is viewed as such a threat to the existing system.
The greatest financial innovation of our lifetime — Bitcoin — isn’t being ignored. It’s being regulated as if it must never be allowed to compete on equal footing.
You can “say no” to this rigged system and join hundreds of millions of others around the world in taking back power. Buy and hold Bitcoin in self custody, taking it off of exchanges.

The crypto vs banks “rivalry” that is playing out surrounding the U.S. Clarity Act is way too contrived. It is orchestrated theatre. It is fake competition, the stuff of willing partners in an evolving oligopoly. Banking and crypto are merging. The real rivalry is with YOU, with freedom, and truly “decentralized finance”.
To use a sports analogy, the banking “league” has simply agreed to a league expansion. They are allowing new teams into the league, willing to dilute their market share because they have calculated that doing so grows the market and profit. Armstrong/Dimon = Knicks/Thunder.
This evolving oligopoly will have defined rules for who’s in and out, centralizing power and control over a vast landscape of digital assets (including custodied BTC). The true rivalry is now with actual decentralized finance: you holding and spending self-custodied Bitcoin.

https://progressivebitcoiner.org/the-next-mantra-spend-and-replace

2026-03-07 18:43:46 GMT

As of early 2026, there are now more than 190 publicly-listed companies worldwide that hold Bitcoin in their treasuries, up from just 74 at the beginning of 2025. Still, this is just 0.35% of the roughly 100,000 publicly-listed companies worldwide.
There will only ever be 21,000,000 Bitcoin and 20,000,000 of those have now been mined into supply, with the remaining 1,000,000 to be mined over the next 114 years.
Each 1.0 Bitcoin is divisible into 100,000,000 smaller units (like dollars/cents) called “sats”.
What happens to the value/price of Bitcoin when the number of publicly-listed companies holding some Bitcoin (any amount) as a reserve asset increases to 1%, 2%, 5% or more. What happens when the roughly 1% of the world’s 8 billion people who currently hold some Bitcoin increases to 2%, 5%, 10% or more.
You do the math. Suffice to say, Bitcoin is a $10,000,000 (or more) asset currently on sale for $70,000.
Have a nice day! 😊

Fascinating discussion. The paper argues that Bitcoin is the first system where time exists as a series of discrete, irreversible energy events (blocks).
This means that Bitcoin is not just digital gold, a money and payment network, but also a foundational measurement system tying energy, entropy, time, and memory into one bounded ledger.

For those tracking #Bitcoin exchange rate with top fiat currencies, we’re now at 40% from all time $BTC high, the last difficulty adjustment was down 3.28%, and we’re about to see another ~14% adjustment down. All of this suggests to me we saw some significant miner capitulation and exchange rate is bottoming.

“Stablecoins, which merely peg themselves to these fiat currencies, inherit their structural weakness. Stablecoins are not digital islands of stability; they are tethered to melting ice cubes, losing purchasing power at precisely the same rate as the fiat currencies they shadow…
…And beyond this economic decay lies a more profound, sinister geopolitical danger: stablecoins do not merely inherit the debasement of their underlying fiat currencies—they also inherit and amplify the systems of monetary and political colonialism those currencies sustain. Whether through the U.S. dollar, the Chinese yuan, the CFA franc, or other hegemonic monetary regimes, stablecoins risk re-entrenching patterns of dependence and external control at precisely the moment when communities and nations around the world are seeking pathways to liberation and self-determination.”

“People and organizations committed to community empowerment, human rights, global development, and economic justice now face a defining choice. Will they continue to participate—actively or passively—in monetary systems that entrench dependency, extract value from the vulnerable, and reproduce neo-colonial power dynamics in digital form?

A Cypherpunk's Manifesto
by Eric Hughes (9 March, 1993)
Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age.
Privacy is not secrecy. A private matter is something one doesn't
want the whole world to know, but a secret matter is something one
doesn't want anybody to know. Privacy is the power to selectively
reveal oneself to the world.
If two parties have some sort of dealings, then each has a memory of their interaction. Each party can speak about their own memory of
this; how could anyone prevent it? One could pass laws against it,
but the freedom of speech, even more than privacy, is fundamental to an open society; we seek not to restrict any speech at all. If many
parties speak together in the same forum, each can speak to all the
others and aggregate together knowledge about individuals and other parties. The power of electronic communications has enabled such group speech, and it will not go away merely because we might want it to.
Since we desire privacy, we must ensure that each party to a
transaction have knowledge only of that which is directly necessary
for that transaction. Since any information can be spoken of, we
must ensure that we reveal as little as possible. In most cases
personal identity is not salient. When I purchase a magazine at a
store and hand cash to the clerk, there is no need to know who I am.
When I ask my electronic mail provider to send and receive messages, my provider need not know to whom I am speaking or what I am saying or what others are saying to me; my provider only need know how to get the message there and how much I owe them in fees. When my
identity is revealed by the underlying mechanism of the transaction, I have no privacy. I cannot here selectively reveal myself; I must _always_ reveal myself.
Therefore, privacy in an open society requires anonymous transaction systems. Until now, cash has been the primary such system. An anonymous transaction system is not a secret transaction system. An anonymous system empowers individuals to reveal their identity when desired and only when desired; this is the essence of privacy.
Privacy in an open society also requires cryptography. If I say
something, I want it heard only by those for whom I intend it. If
the content of my speech is available to the world, I have no
privacy. To encrypt is to indicate the desire for privacy, and to
encrypt with weak cryptography is to indicate not too much desire for
privacy. Furthermore, to reveal one's identity with assurance when
the default is anonymity requires the cryptographic signature.
We cannot expect governments, corporations, or other large, faceless organizations to grant us privacy out of their beneficence. It is to their advantage to speak of us, and we should expect that they will speak. To try to prevent their speech is to fight against the
realities of information. Information does not just want to be free,
it longs to be free. Information expands to fill the available
storage space. Information is Rumor's younger, stronger cousin;
Information is fleeter of foot, has more eyes, knows more, and
understands less than Rumor.
We must defend our own privacy if we expect to have any. We must
come together and create systems which allow anonymous transactions to take place. People have been defending their own privacy for centuries with whispers, darkness, envelopes, closed doors, secret handshakes, and couriers. The technologies of the past did not allow for strong privacy, but electronic technologies do.
We the Cypherpunks are dedicated to building anonymous systems. We are defending our privacy with cryptography, with anonymous mail forwarding systems, with digital signatures, and with electronic money.
Cypherpunks write code. We know that someone has to write software to defend privacy, and since we can't get privacy unless we all do, we're going to write it. We publish our code so that our fellow Cypherpunks may practice and play with it. Our code is free for all to use, worldwide. We don't much care if you don't approve of the software we write. We know that software can't be destroyed and that a widely dispersed system can't be shut down.
Cypherpunks deplore regulations on cryptography, for encryption is
fundamentally a private act. The act of encryption, in fact, removes
information from the public realm. Even laws against cryptography
reach only so far as a nation's border and the arm of its violence.
Cryptography will ineluctably spread over the whole globe, and with it the anonymous transactions systems that it makes possible.
For privacy to be widespread it must be part of a social contract.
People must come and together deploy these systems for the common good. Privacy only extends so far as the cooperation of one's fellows in society. We the Cypherpunks seek your questions and your concerns and hope we may engage you so that we do not deceive ourselves. We will not, however, be moved out of our course because some may disagree with our goals.
The Cypherpunks are actively engaged in making the networks safer for privacy. Let us proceed together apace.
Onward.

My latest article is out, published via @nprofile…fpmv. :
Fix the Money, Heal the System argues that Canada’s social, economic, political, and environmental challenges share a common root: our broken “fiat” currency and a monetary system that rewards debt, speculation, and extraction. The paper explores Bitcoin—a powerful, global monetary alternative—through a progressive and policy-focused lens. It shows how this fairer, decentralized, and transparent form of money drives inclusion, empowers workers, strengthens human rights, and supports environmental sustainability. It contends that lasting social progress must begin with monetary reform.
When money loses value through inflation and political manipulation, it leads to erosion of trust, fairness, and long-term planning. By contrast, Bitcoin offers a framework and a tool for rebuilding these foundations—linking economic value to real work, energy, and community rather than to privilege and power.
Drawing on real-world examples from Canada and around the world, the paper highlights how Bitcoin is already be used to build a better world. In doing so, it presents Bitcoin not as a speculative asset, but as a public good—and a powerful new tool for building more democratic, sustainable, and inclusive societies; one that should be confidently embraced by all progressive political parties and organizations in Canada.

I see a lot of people posting about the “current Bitcoin bull run” and that the “bull run of this cycle is over”. IMHO, we haven’t even seen a bull run recently. The past 1.5 years has simply been a slow upward correction to make up for the impact of exchange and company explosions in 2021/2022 (FTX, Celcius et al).
This has been a healing period for Bitcoin, like physiotherapy before getting back on the playing field. At USD ~$100K to $130K the injury is healed, but the body isn’t quite game ready.
The so-called bull run begins once the exchange rate of BTC climbs above ~$130,000 USD. We’re getting there. The bull is sharpening its horns. Patience.
I believe that past cycle models and prognostications will ultimately prove ephemeral.

I don’t own any real or paper gold. I’m more convinced than ever that I don’t want any. I’ll leave that for people who are ready to resign themselves to the so called “debasement trade” or, as I prefer to call it, the despair and cynicism trade.
Instead, I choose #Bitcoin #BTC. Bitcoin is the hope, optimism, and structural change trade. Others have called it the “purification trade”. Sure, I can get with that.
The move to gold is a cynical retreat from our world’s most pressing challenges. It is a giant middle finger to billions of people around the world for whom gold is an untenable asset due to security and access barriers, and its lack of portability in the face of major geopolitical uncertainty. This gold “debasement trade” is also a giant middle finger to younger generations left to reconcile the debts and downstream impacts of their predecessors. Gold will not and cannot provide these younger people the tools for renewal and rebuilding that are so urgently needed.
On the other hand, Bitcoin offers the opportunity not only to escape the impact of fiat currency debasement, but to also restructure social engagements, reformulate the incentives that drive political discourse, and build across borders and other arbitrary barriers. Bitcoin offers Gen Z and Gen Alpha not only affirmation that yes, our current economic and financial systems are fucked, but also a roadmap and tool for rebuilding.
What an ounce of gold will scarcely or never do for youth in a deprived community setting, Bitcoin can and will do.

Excellent article by Christian Catalini. I believe that Tempo will ultimately fail, despite the massive amount of PR/marketing capital that Stripe can deploy.
Bitcoin has been firmly established as the FTP of value exchange / money over the Internet. Layer 2 and 3 solutions (Lightning, Ark, Lightspark et al) are already scaling over the bedrock of Bitcoin as the Layer 1 blockchain. More L2s and L3s will emerge. Interoperability, layering, and competition among these layer 2 and 3 solutions is the crucible for excellence and global scaling.
I believe that the critical blind spot for Stripe and other crypto payment tokens is that they are biased by their primary (almost exclusive) base in large capital markets AND the built in limitations of centrally-controlled deployment strategies.
What Stripe and crypto token leaders do not grasp is that while they were in their corporate strategy rooms and labs concocting plans, the Bitcoin base layer was achieving escape velocity as the global base protocol (ie, the FTP). They also missed that layer 2 and 3 solutions were already being introduced and stress tested in many places far out of sight from Silicon Valley strategy rooms: in the markets and on the streets of Africa and Latin America; among diverse networks of human rights activists and others circumnavigating capital controls and censorship; and, at the desks of small business owners and other entrepreneurs insightful enough to see niche, early-mover opportunities presented by Bitcoin (what @nprofile…9yte coined as the Bitcoin “cheat code”).
Ultimately, what enabled and will continue to cement the role of Bitcoin as the base protocol — the layer 1 blockchain — for digital payments is the fact that it is open-source, decentralized, and globally distributed.
My prediction: within the next few years the ghost of Libra will have a fresh companion in the ghost of Tempo.

While it was excellent overall, there was one thing that I want to respectfully push back on. In discussing Bitcoin and/vs crypto, Michael notes that he looks at Bitcoin as "store of value" and the rest of crypto as "innovation". I feel very strongly that this is a narrative that is not only mistaken but against which we must push back (again, all respect to Michael).
I ask: innovation toward/for what? When I look out at the vast landscape of crypto, what I see is a network of projects guided by technological determinism and engineering masturbation. Projects that extol the virtue of innovation but offer up self-referential loops of engineering gymnastics garnished with flourishes of Web3, DeFi, Blockchain (all rhetorical devices).
So what is innovation? Well, I believe that it is something that moves us -- humanity -- into a new stage of development, of growth. One can argue over the etymology of the term "innovation" (see etymonline.com/word/innovation), however, I believe strongly that the restoration and renewal to which it speaks is a profoundly humanistic one, focused on virtue and evolution.
In its beautiful simplicity and what it offers us -- the ability to communicate truth, trust, value and meaning across time, space and culture (h/t to @nprofile…2k5u and @nprofile…aku5) -- Bitcoin exudes innovation. It enables and ushers us into renewal, restoration, growth, and evolution across multiple domains of existence.
The manifest distinction between the self-referential, technological determinism of "crypto = innovation" and "Bitcoin = innovation" is that the latter ultimately makes human action and relationships the locus of activity. We are not anticipating salvation and surrendering ourselves to the tool, we are employing the tool (whether consciously or not in all instances) as a tool for human renewal and growth. We are re-ordering and re-constructing the architecture of human relationships. We are re-fashioning how we "communicate truth, trust, value and meaning across time, space and culture".
As far as what this looks like, well, I see it play out in multiple domains. It is evident in opportunity afforded mothers in Kenya participating in @nprofile…7r0x who employ Bitcoin as means to re-claim their rightful, virtuous place within community and to restore and empower community in the process. I see it play out in the growth of children participating in @nprofile…dtyh who are moving toward an increased expression of their human potential against the heavy weight of oppressions that time and history have assigned to them at birth. I see it in the almost unimaginable spark of self-determination that is being realized in high Andes Mountain communities through @nprofile…r5wk'S work. And so on, and so forth across community-based projects and human rights cases harnessing Bitcoin.
Those of us privileged to live in Canada, the U.S. and other more affluent countries can also witness the innovation of Bitcoin is the unprecedented potential it offers many individuals and groups to climb the hierarchy of needs against the headwinds of social distress either caused by or exacerbated by debt-money. For instance, the opportunity afforded a GenZ-er to realistically plan for the sorts of life goals/goods (home ownership, financially sustainable family life) that were once simply taken for granted by most. In this respect, one can argue that "store of value = innovation".
I don't want to get bogged down in semantics nor over-extend this analysis. What I do want to get across is that we must actively resist the Siren call of crypto as innovation. Yes, the "Bitcoin is digital gold" analogy is useful and has some applications...but it only scratches the surface and is utterly inadequate at capturing the many overlapping circles of innovation that Bitcoin achieves or births.
Bitcoin is a store of value. Bitcoin is a medium of exchange. Bitcoin is a unit of account. Bitcoin is a network. Bitcoin is a protocol. Bitcoin is a map and the territory. Bitcoin is innovation and gives rise to innovation.
Let us not neglect the staggering beauty of this exquisite phenomenon. Let us not surrender the human story and evolution which Bitcoin exalts. Let us not relinquish the rightful claim to innovation which is Bitcoin and is set forth through Bitcoin. 🙏🧡

Years before Satoshi Nakamoto shared the Bitcoin White Paper, Tracy Chapman was already singing about the need for Bitcoin (BTC) and to establish a new, global paradigm for the human race.

Oof! This kinda takes the wind out of US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s recent “Are you tired of winning yet 🇺🇸?” post on X, doesn’t it. Who’s the “you” in that sentence?
It’s not team blue or team red. Join team orange (the Bitcoin movement).

With all due respect to any OG Bitcoiner who may be selling Bitcoin due to disenchantment, I would humbly say that this is a lack of focus and perspective.
Every day, I have the honour via @nprofile…rc5g of connecting with local projects around the world that are living out the vision of “peer-to-peer electronic cash”. Freedom money. 100 sats here, 1000 sats there. A local barber, taxi driver, cattle rancher, or corner store on-boarded to Bitcoin. A group of children receiving and then spending sats as reward for their participation in an educational program. A mother saving sats for her child’s future schooling costs.
On and on, far away from the boardrooms of Wall Street, the original vision for Bitcoin is very much alive, thriving and growing through local Bitcoin circular economy projects.
So, to anyone lamenting the entry of large financial institutions to the Bitcoin ecosystem and the #hodl only mentality, I respectfully say: you’re not looking in the right places. Tune into circular economies and the #spedn vibe.
Take a step back, look at and support local Bitcoin circular economy projects. You can find them all listed on fbce.io and you can find how to donate to them (multiple options) via our partner website at bitcoinconfederation.org/explore.
If the entry of large institutions to Bitcoin frustrates you, if you feel that the soul of Bitcoin is in jeopardy, help the amazing people on the ground in communities around the world who are bringing the Bitcoin white paper to life every single day. Please follow and support @nprofile…rc5g to help us bring Bitcoin circular economies to scale over the months and years ahead.

It’s true. As former Senior Vice President (Canada Region) for Blockbuster, I have no way to prove or disprove claims that anyone may make regarding former employment with us.
