Your employer gives you a 5% raise.
The Fed prints 7% more dollars.
You just got a 2% pay cut.
This isn't a conspiracy theory.
This is how fiat money steals from the working class every single day.
This is why I support Bitcoin.

Time flies when you’re stacking friends and sats. Nice work @matteopelleg
I've built a website I always wished existed: a collection of all the books written about Bitcoin.
I've found 110 of them. If I've missed any, let me know in the replies.

I don't know what you are going through. Some of you are struggling with challenges I could never imagine. But you know who does know what you are going through? God. He is real, and he loves you.
I met @RjMitte 3 weeks ago and had a wonderful time with him. We hung out together for a few hours and he told me about his family, his work, his philanthropy, his investments, and his dreams.
Breaking Bad was my favorite TV show, so getting to hang out with him in person was surreal. He was just a totally normal dude and we had a lot in common. He told me that he had 36 students on scholarship. Thats 36 kids that got the opportunity to get an education because of him.
I had the privilege to tell him about my app and we talked about it for a while. In the moment, this was the most important thing to me - telling my new celebrity friend about my Bitcoin app. But, today, I can't help but wish I would have just told him about Jesus instead.
We interacted a bit on X over the past 3 weeks, and I was looking forward to continuing to get to know him and following his career. But today, he abruptly took his own life.
I say this to hopefully help you learn from my mistake. I encourage you remember what is important. It's not us. It's Jesus.
If you don't know him, you can. If you do, tell someone who doesn't.
Rest in peace, RJ.

Teaching the reasons why bitcoin is better in the real world has never been easier.
Go zap sats. 👏 @BitcoinatBlock
Just had an exciting and fun set of interactions here at Café fuel in downtown Jackson, Michigan.
I paid for my coffee with bitcoin on the Square point of sale terminal.
Went through without a hitch and was instantly approved via the Bitcoin lightning network.
The college aged lady working said that was the first time she seen someone do that - or maybe the second time - and she asked me
“what is bitcoin“?
So I start giving her a very high level explanation and after about 15-30 seconds or so I look behind me and there’s someone else in line who is another business owner from downtown Jackson and he seemed pretty curious about what I’m talking about regarding bitcoin.
I asked him if he wants to just go ahead in line and make his order and he says
“no keep talking - I wanna hear”
so we talk about bitcoin for a couple more seconds and then I say “hey let me buy your coffee with bitcoin”
Of course, he says sure no problem and he watches me open up my River wallet on my phone, and then I send bitcoin via the QR code on the Square point-of-sale terminal and it immediately says approved and now the lady cashier has seen 2 bitcoin transactions in the past two or three minutes and she’s even more interested, and then the owner of the café walks up and I know her a little bit too, and I just started talking to all three of these people about bitcoin and I explain how the owner of the café can be much better off if she accepted bitcoin because she doesn’t have to pay the credit card fees and the other business owner who’s behind me in line - he also accepts credit cards for his biz - and I tell them that if you accept bitcoin you might be able to get paid $10,000 or $10 million and it might cost one or two dollars in the bitcoin transaction fee and obviously they don’t really understand what I’m saying, but they like the idea of that and then I tell them
and when you receive that bitcoin there’s no charge back options for the sender. There’s no daddy Visa or daddy Mastercard the customer can contact and complain.
It’s just done. It’s like someone paid you in cash or someone paid you in gold but instead they paid you in digital gold / bitcoin…
Anyway, it was really nice to have these discussions and I feel like I haven’t had these kind of real discussions in quite a while, but it felt great and I ended up sending a River link to the businessman who I was talking to and he seemed really excited and I’m looking forward to hearing more from him after he gets the ball rolling.

money that makes sense
Some things don't make sense.
Bitcoin does.

Inflation is intentional. Opt-out.
Why does everything feel so unaffordable now?
I argue that the real problem isn’t simply that houses, food and everything else cost more. It’s that your money buys less.
Inflation quietly destroys purchasing power — and then government tells you to look to government for the solution.

About 9 months ago, I was driving with my family (and talking about Bitcoin), when I told my kids "Nothing costs a penny." I made my wife write it down for me. I'm thankful she did, because it led to this spot. Let's bring Bitcoin to the masses.
The government stopped making pennies because they cost more than they're worth.
Nobody asked what that says about the dollar.
This ad does.
