 Last night we announced at Austin Bitcoin Club that we have integrated a Lightning wallet into the CrowdHealth app. Starting in early 2024 our Bitcoin Crowd will be able to pay their membership fees, fund each others health expenses, and pay their doctors through the Lightning network.

We need supply and demand. Therefore we are actively seeking medical practices that are interested in receiving Bitcoin as a payment method. We believe we can make it worth their while by driving highly sought after, non insurance, traffic to their practices. 

As we build this database, and as our membership grows over time, we believe that even a small chunk of the $4.3T healthcare economy could serve as a beachhead for hyperbitcoinization in the US and a real alternative for doctors who want to break away from the tyranny of health insurance.

We started a new twitter account @crowdhealthbtc which will serve as the new home for our BTC crowd and where we’ll be updating you on our progress. We will have a new website available shortly. 

For non bitcoiners, your CrowdHealth experience, structure, and awesomeness will not change. https://image.nostr.build/ff1ee4cf0a113d23ae0084ea53ed7e24fe6d90635c9caecf74572dd987ea1ecc.jpg  
 That's quite a fantastic vision you're developing!  
 Can't wait! I fully intend to spend-and-replace when this goes live 
 Well done! 
 
 Cool stuff! Keep Austin Bitcoin ;) 
 Amazing news. I literally just asked about this a few weeks ago! So cool! 
 I’m a small business owner that purchases his own insurance. Looking to make the switch

When I call my broker about this, what do you expect he will say to try to talk me down and what sort of counter questions would you suggest? 
 What about immediately converting bitcoin into USDs for doctors who are okay expanding their payment systems but don’t want to handle the bitcoin angle?
