TheBitcoinBasinNZ

We are a group of passionate Bitcoiners creating a Bitcoin Hub in Queenstown NZ. By promoting Bitcoin education and transactional spending within New Zealand.

[TheBitcoinBasinNZ @TheBitcoinBasin]

Our local Educators from The Basin Francisco and Luli will be connecting with other educators from around the world.

What a representation we have!

[Bitcoin Journey @Btcjourney21]

Very exciting days ahead!

In just a few days we will attend the @OsloFF organized by the @HRF and hear firsthand from freedom fighters around the world.

We will then take part in the Bitcoin Educators Unconference in Prague, hosted by @MyFirstBitcoin_ and @AmityAge where we will have the great opportunity to meet, connect, and learn from educators from all over the world, while sharing how we are helping build the @TheBitcoinBasin circular economy in Queenstown, NZ.

If you're joining us at @SovSummitNZ in April you'll be able to check this hike out in Glenorchy. 🏔️

[Nell Hunter BTC @nellhunterbtc]

Explain Bitcoin to me like I'm five.

SOUND ON

(Check out the scenes from @TheBitcoinBasin)

[Brandon Bucher @BTCNautilus]

Testing a new @stacked_bitcoin feature this week.

The concept isn't new, but the execution is, because doing this non-custodially from bank to bitcoin in 10s has never been done. Until now.

Can you guess what it is?

[TheBitcoinBasinNZ @TheBitcoinBasin]

Here it is, our big news.

A new conference coming to New Zealand.

We will be showcasing our Bitcoin merchants, community and ofcourse the natural beauty and wonders of New Zealand.

We are thrilled that the theme of this conference is Sovereignty and how sound money can be the key.

Glad the cat's out of the bag and we can finally start talking about it.

Tickets will start selling June so keep an eye out for upcoming info.

Looking forward to showing you around the mountains. 🏔️

[Sovereignty Summit @SovSummitNZ]

🙌🏼 We can't wait to share our news! 🙌🏼

[Nell Hunter BTC @nellhunterbtc]

Have the most exciting news coming from Queenstown this week in @TheBitcoinBasin

Really looking forward to sharing it with everyone, watch this space!

[TheBitcoinBasinNZ @TheBitcoinBasin]

Our merchant list is growing stronger and more diverse each month!

We had our meet up at Caribe literally minutes after @Btcjourney21 had taught their team about Bitcoin.

Orange pilling, proof of work and community support all at once!

Bitcoin is more than money.

That's why it's so important to #SPEDN!!

[Nell Hunter BTC @nellhunterbtc]

[Bitcoin Journey @Btcjourney21]

Great news! We have secured a new merchant who has agreed to accept Bitcoin for the first time for our monthly meetup at @TheBitcoinBasin

Let’s show them our support and make sure to top up your Lightning wallet (the best place to do this is hands down @stacked_bitcoin , New Zealand’s Bitcoin-only platform).

See you at Caribe on Fire on 21 May at 17:30.

🚨 The South African government is attempting to OUTLAW FINANCIAL FREEDOM.

🚫 Under the guise of "capital flow management," new draft regulations will effectively destroy self-custody and Bitcoin's promise of financial inclusion in our country.

🇿🇦 These aren't just rules for exchanges. They are a direct attack on EVERY South African.

Here’s what they do:

‼️ BAN SELF-CUSTODY: By targeting transactions that touch global network infrastructure, they make self-custody illegal.

‼️ FORCE LIQUIDATION: They grant the state the power to force the sale of Bitcoin to the National Treasury. This is expropriation.

‼️ OUTLAW CIRCULAR ECONOMIES: Peer-to-peer transactions for goods and services will be deemed "black market" activity if they exceed an unspecified threshold.

‼️ GIVE THE STATE ARBITRARY POWER: The Minister can decide the "threshold" for illegality at any time, creating uncertainty for everyone.

✊ This is a war on open, permissionless money. It's a war on the unbanked. It's a war on your right to control your own wealth.

📜 And they're trying to do it WITHOUT A VOTE IN PARLIAMENT.

⏳ The deadline for public objection is either May 18 or June 10, depending on which government source is consulted.

We have no time to waste.

Another great meetup at @TheBitcoinBasin

This month we met at Momentos by the Lake, with breathtaking views and seriously good food, paying for everything in #Bitcoin.

Grateful for the people who keep showing up, sharing, and building this community together.

Join us every 3rd Thursday of the month, a relaxed space to connect, learn, and be part of something growing. Everyone’s welcome.

Until next time!

[Brandon Bucher @BTCNautilus]

I am once again reminding you that bitcoin is money, just in case you need a reminder after this little pump in price.

Whenever it is that we reach an exchange rate you’re happy about again, try not to forget this time.

[Simon Collins @simonocollins]

Working on this all has been such an awesome experience! We thought about every aspect how a #bitcoin wallet works. And we set out to excel in every aspect. We did just that.

[TheBitcoinBasinNZ @TheBitcoinBasin]

One more sleep until our April Meet up!

Meeting at @momentosqt on the lake front at 5.30pm. Bring some #sats ⚡️ and a friend 🕺💃🏻

See you tomorrow Queenstown!

Momentos by the Lake 🏔️

[Stacked Bitcoin @stacked_bitcoin]

New Zealand has become an unlikely battleground for self-custody.

Thanks to @JuanSGalt and @BitcoinMagazine!

Alright plebs!

Another successful Bitcoin Workshop 🙌

5 people learned how this incredible technology is reshaping the way we think about money, freedom, and ownership.

Once you see it, it can’t be undone.

Many more free workshops to come, thanks to the invaluable support of @TheBitcoinBasin and Criterion Law Firm.
