Bitcoin is volatile for a reason. The path to adopting bitcoin is not a security but instead understanding why it stores value. You will spend 40,000 hours of your life trying to make money. It's worthwhile to spend 100 hours figuring out how to keep it.

JUST IN: A new ad campaign launched across 🇸🇪 Sweden is making the case that Satoshi Nakamoto deserves the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences.
The campaign, created by Valour, is running in major newspapers, Instagram, and TikTok as part of a broader Bitcoin education initiative.
Among the article's most notable claims:
"Bitcoin is the world's first global, neutral infrastructure for the transfer of value."
And a bold comparison to Luca Pacioli, the inventor of double-entry bookkeeping:
"1494 introduced double-entry bookkeeping. The next major advance came in 2008."

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.
@callebtc My llm-wiki says "It's a corporate-card loophole on US bank BINs sold as "no-KYC" - runs until visibility, then ur funds get frozen and the operator walks. The fee isn't the constraint; Visa/MC compliance reach is. The only honest version is bypassing the card networks"
@callebtc@KevinKelbie A lot has been said about the fragility of these that are build on a loophole, this tweet sums it up nicely https://t.co/jVLJH3sUTT
Never ask a “No‑KYC card” project what happens when Visa discovers their “business cards” are issued to fake employees instead of real ones.
Bloodbath.
@iBobbyShell@obsdmd@voltage_cloud@Tee8z working on similar, super impressed with my llm-wikis in obsidian, read Dorseys article, now want to turn companies into mini-agis but can't find any guides on best way to do it securely.
I'm biased, but the summit was amazing 🤩 Thanks to everyone who came to push Bitcoin tech one step further 🙏❤️
Hats off to @FulgurVentures for hosting, and to everyone who showed up ready to engage ⚡🚀
