🍊 BITCOIN MAXIMALISM

El Salvador Should Embrace Bitcoin Maximalism
By Max Keiser

It has been almost a year since El Salvador announced bitcoin would be considered legal tender.

Since then, confidence in Bitcoin is growing, as it has enabled positive changes to transform the economy. But the author makes an appeal for El Salvador to embrace "Bitcoin Maximalism" as a guiding principle, and in this manner reject all other "crypto" projects.

Bitcoin has gained its status and reputation by becoming virtually the perfect money, with unique core strengths such as:

  • Separating money from state
  • Creating global money
  • Perpetual audibility
  • Unconfiscatability
  • Finite supply of monetary units
  • Uniquely decentralized 
"Bitcoin maximalism is the right direction for El Salvador to continue growing its economy and to set an example of integrity and excellence for the world." – Max Keiser

☕ SOVEREIGNTY

A Look At The Future Of Specter And Bitcoin Sovereignty With Moritz Wietersheim
By Shinobi

“Don’t trust, verify” is the ultimate ethos of many Bitcoin enthusiasts. Bitcoiners recognize the importance of maintaining control and sovereignty over their own money, not having to trust anyone to retain value and being able to self-validate transactions privately and unstoppably. That is why Moritz Wietersheim, Bitcoin supporter, entrepreneur and founder/CEO of Specter, has decided to invest his resources to create software and hardware devices to continue simplifying the process of using Bitcoin in the most sovereign way possible.

Specter is a free open-source product suite for bitcoiners, developers and enterprise. They offer solutions for individuals and enterprises to store and secure Bitcoin, self-verify transactions and protect privacy with open-source firmware on trust minimized signing devices.

MEME OF THE DAY 
By Bamsski

We have been fed the narrative of The Great Reset, where we will own nothing and be happy. But this does not sound good to me, or to any other Bitcoiner I've crossed paths with.

Now is where we stand strong and show the WEF who is the "captain" — who truly is the great reset. As far as I know, Bitcoin is the only great reset I am going to experience.

I will own bitcoin, and be happy.

With love,
Bam
