Send the video to everyone you know showing how heinously Nowak was treated by the police in his dying moments and how the police cravenly kowtowed to his murderer.
Legacy mainstream media, same ones who wrote about George Floyd millions of times, are dead silent about Nowak.
Legendary cypherpunk artist @FractalEncrypt is joining BTCPay Day as a special guest!
A long-time BTCPay Server user, he'll share how he turned our project into a canvas for displaying and selling his phenomenal art.
June 14th. Hotel Duo. @BTCPrague 💚 Join us!
A window into the future:
Flexionics uses 14 MW of ASICS to help stabilize the grid of Sweden
They were called on 11,245 times last year. Yes, you read that right.
Already, 58% of their revenue comes from grid services (the rest through hashing)
You could have just stayed humble and stacked sats but now you're rationalizing buying a security rather than bitcoin. All very fiat if you think about it from first principles of fiat. Get back to the basics.
Another inspiring Bitcoin story
Buena Vista, Colorado is becoming a new Bitcoin hub
* already 19 businesses onboarded already (more than Colorado Spings)
* Chamber of Commerce actively promoting it
* Feedback from businesses (who were not bitcoiners) includes:
"Our instore sales have increased, and 20% of our sales are now in Bitcoin"
"it feels cleaner"
"it feels more natural"
"1 in 8 of our sales are now in Bitcoin"
How did this happen?
One person who in his spare time doing something we can all do - talking to people with a mindset of service.
Luke Cortese(@ABCundrstandBTC) is the honeybadger who has been behind this incredible story.
But it gets better
Each month he runs a "treasure hunt" where new members of the community learn about Bitcoin. 25 new people started using Bitcoin on the last one.
AND
He's open sourcing the model so other small towns across the country can start onboarding new businesses. He's already gotten enquiries from neighboring towns, and states.
Upcoming @BtcpayServer 2.4 will ship with a much better translation system 🚀
Thanks to @teamssUTXO & @IAD_22S, those maintaining languages will also get credit for their work.
Making this the easiest way to FOSS contributions - just speak anything other than English!
At Bitcoin++ @renepickhardt expanded on a conviction he holds strongly: it's not Lightning OR Ark. It's Lightning AND Ark together that can scale Bitcoin into a global payments network.
The narrative that "Lightning failed and Ark is the replacement" misses the point entirely. These systems are complementary. Visitors as layer cake: 🎂
CBDC's will make this so much easier and quicker.
Wake up sheeples, buy (and self custody) Bitcoin before it's to late. They will expropriate you if you speak up against government narratives.
URGENT: Germany’s collective punishment of my family continues. They’ve now frozen my pensioner mother’s bank account, claiming I somehow “control” it too. Her savings are inaccessible — yet she has received no official notice from any German authority. No charges no due process
@NicolasDorier Really bad, hopefully Android not becoming walled garden like iOS. Worst case GrapheneOS needs to fork and not rely on upstream Android anymore if they ban installing .apk from other sources than official play store.
IT BEGINS
Sweden just decided to allow police to use AI for live facial recognition.
Orwellian mass surveillance state is coming.
All because the failed policies of governments have caused a mass rise in crime.
Open source software is amazing. And with the advent of AI agents, the technical threshold for contribution has dropped low enough for even someone like me! I am grateful to @TChileta and @r0ckstardev and the entire @BtcpayServer team for helping take my request from idea to live plugin and saving me from my own vibe coded mess.
@r0ckstardev@BtcpayServer@BullBitcoin_ Great to hear that after Aqua there is another wallet giving merchants no excuses to get going - it's the easiest and most frictionless way to get going and accept Bitcoin (on-chain and over LN). Plug and play 👏🎉💚
Run a @BTCPayServer shop with Bitcoin arriving directly on your phone!
@BullBitcoin_ Wallet 6.10 now supports the SamRock Protocol. UX:
1. Install the SamRock plugin on your BTCPay
2. Install the BULL wallet on your mobile device
3. Scan a QR code
4. Done
South Carolina just passed a law requiring platforms to estimate your age every 100 hours of use, or any time they run their algorithms on you. 80% confidence minimum, $10k fine per wrong guess. The incentive is to collect more data about everyone, including kids.
