A serious website was long overdue.
We redesigned https://t.co/q7nXuMqsnI to better tell the story of what we’ve been building: funding, training, and supporting open-source Bitcoin developers and researchers in Brazil.

Almost 10 years ago, Lucas Ferreira (@lucasdcf), co-founder of @Vinteum_org, turned to Bitcoin in an effort to avoid a pyramid scheme.
He'd just graduated from university with a degree in anthropology.
Wanting to have a social impact, he considered pursuing a PhD.
However, he decided against it when he figured out there wasn't space in academia for all of the students entering the PhD program to become professors.
"It was actually a pyramid scheme," Ferreira said about academia.
He found Bitcoin soon after coming to this realization and quickly got involved in the space.
And his involvement ever since has not only been a boon for Brazilian 🇧🇷 Bitcoin developers but for the Bitcoin space at large.
I documented Lucas's incredible contributions in the piece below.
Enjoy!
@doodlestein It would be good if Microsoft offered a service to promote projects for a fee so interesting projects could earn the deserved attention without requiring fake stars

The Bitcoin community has shown up for this mission in a big way. Here's what our sponsors are most excited about 💪
GrapheneOS will remain usable by anyone around the world without requiring personal information, identification or an account. GrapheneOS and our services will remain available internationally. If GrapheneOS devices can't be sold in a region due to their regulations, so be it.
We’re launching the new Floresta website and visual identity.
Floresta is a lightweight and embeddable Bitcoin client, designed to be easy to run, easy to integrate, and flexible for developers.
This post marks a new chapter for the project. 🌱

Hey @HardRock, please check what's going on at your Asuncion location. Lots of items missing from the menu and the burger tasted like a pre-made supermarket one for 10x the price. Really disappointing.
