While holding Bitcoin as a long-term store of value is important, it shouldn’t be the only goal. Consider allocating a portion of your portfolio to support small businesses, donate to meaningful causes, or send zaps to friends and family via the Lightning Network.

I sure will 🙌🏽 and it’s more than just running the node but owning and managing your data as well.
I’ll be rather to cancel quite a few subscription services once I get it running and managed.
We need more of our people on a Bitcoin standard. By this, I mean saving and investing in Bitcoin, which holds its value over time compared to traditional currencies that can lose value due to inflation.
When we choose Bitcoin, our time and effort are preserved in a way that protects against the constant loss of purchasing power. This gives us more control over our financial future and empowers our communities to build lasting wealth.

Great questions! The Black Bitcoin Society (BBS) emerged from the idea that BIPOC individuals have often been less educated on financial literacy, including Bitcoin. This society aims to change that by educating and serving the BIPOC community, as I’ve noticed relatively few people in this space building, learning about, or holding Bitcoin within our community.
Bitcoin is global, and so is the mission of BBS. The society and the information shared are available to everyone, regardless of nationality, religion, or gender. It’s similar to how companies like Strike or River operate as Bitcoin-only platforms but still provide the option to hold and save in cash if desired. Think of it like a barbershop in a Black neighborhood: they specialize in Black haircuts, but if a White individual comes in, they’ll be treated with the same care and respect, even if the haircut style varies slightly.
I also attend a local Bitcoin meetup named after the city it serves. The group provides Bitcoin education, talks, and similar resources for local residents. If someone from another city wants to join, they’re completely welcome.
In a similar way, religious denominations like Baptist and Lutheran have churches tailored to their members’ faith, but if someone from a Catholic church wanted to attend, they’d be welcome too.
The Black Bitcoin Society follows this inclusive approach while focusing on educating people of color about Bitcoin. In my experience, there is less financial and Bitcoin education available within the BIPOC community. This society provides a voice and platform for them to share their experiences. As they learn more about Bitcoin and improve their financial literacy, their understanding grows, revealing that Bitcoin isn’t exclusive to any one group, it’s for everyone.
Awesome
The #BBS tag is used when someone sends sats and includes “BBS” in the comment/invoice section. This lets me know if the sats are intended as a donation to support others or if they’re meant to support my personal endeavors.
We shall rise together
