I think the local meetup idea is a good one. Find a popular watering hole and start inviting people there to have a drink and talk bitcoin. Ask those already in there if they want to learn more. Show them how easy it is to setup a wallet. Send them some sats. Stress the importance of holding your own keys. Stress the importance of preserving your purchasing power in the hardest money ever created. Do this X times a month. Once you buildup a regular crew, ask the manager of the watering hole if they would consider taking payment in bitcoin. Cheers!

 What could the dollar price of #bitcoin over the next 10 years look like with a 50% CAGR?

CAGR, or Compound Annual Growth Rate, is usually used to determine the average growth rate of an asset per year.

Let's conservatively set CAGR at 50% per year and a starting price from this year of $55,000 per bitcoin. See the links below as to why 50% is conservative.


Year 1 (2024): $55,000 x 1.5 = $82,500

Year 2 (2025): $82,500 x 1.5 = $123,750

Year 3 (2026): $123,750 x 1.5 = $185,625

Year 4 (2027): $185,625 x 1.5 = $278,438

Year 5 (2028): $278,438 x 1.5 = $417,657

Year 6 (2029): $417,657 x 1.5 = $626,485

Year 7 (2030): $626,485 x 1.5 = $939,727

Year 8 (2031): $939,727 x 1.5 = $1,409,590

Year 9 (2032): $1,409,590 x 1.5 = $2,114,385

Year 10 (2033): $2,114,385 x 1.5 = $3,171,577


https://casebitcoin.com/charts reports a bitcoin CAGR of 155% over the last 5 years.

https://curvo.eu/backtest/en/market-index/bitcoin?currency=usd reports a bitcoin CAGR of 102% over the last 12 years.

https://bitcoinroi.com/cagr/ reports a bitcoin CAGR over 1 to 13 year grouping span (low of 26%, high of 115%, average of 71%)

https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-s-compound-annual-growth-is-an-unheard-of-200-cagr from 2021 reports a 10 year bitcoin CAGR of 196%


Are we not bullish enough? 
 Don’t be intimidated by the price of 1 #Bitcoin. ($61,892)

I know I’m mainly preaching to the choir on #nostr but it’s crucial for those who are beginning the journey.

You don’t need to buy a “full” bitcoin to participate.

Satoshis are the smallest unit of bitcoin and there are 100,000,000 satoshis or “sats” in 1 Bitcoin.

$1 = 1612 sats

Start stacking those sats today! 
 Essentially yes.

From my dollar example:
$1 = 1612 sats = 0.00001612 BTC 
 People see the big dollar value of $61,892 and think they can’t afford to buy bitcoin.

In reality, you can buy bitcoin without spending thousands of dollars. 
 THERE IS ALREADY MORE REAL ENGAGEMENT ON NOSTR THAN BITCOIN TWITTER.

THE RIDE OR DIES ARE HERE.

 How does it feel? 
 Why #Bitcoin ?

It’s decentralized.

No central authority. No CEO. No “person in charge”. Anyone can opt in to participate on the network. 
 Why #bitcoin ?

It’s transparent.

Anyone can audit the public code. Anyone can confirm current circulating supply. Anyone can see the block reward schedule for the next 116 years. Anyone can use a block explorer to see every transaction ever made since the genesis block. 
 Why #bitcoin ?

It's permissionless.

Anyone can create a wallet, connect a node, start mining and send or receive a bitcoin transaction.

No financial institutions or governments required.
