Notes by Relai ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ญ | export

 4 years ago, Relai was just an idea in Julian Liniger's head.

Fast forward to today, Relai is 39 employees across 16 countries. ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ญ ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡พ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ฐ

 Here's what you missed this week:

๐Ÿš€ Bitcoin reached an ATH of $93,000 (up 115% year to date)

๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡นBhutan accumulates $1 B worth of Bitcoin for their treasury

 You didnโ€™t get lucky.

You studied thousands of hours and doubled down when others doubted you. 
 It's fine, take those sats and use them to orangepill a nocoiner 
 German parliament member Joana Cotar: 

"If the US buys Bitcoin as a strategic reserve, then I think all the European countries will get FOMO.โ€

Switzerland needs leaders like @joanacotar ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ญ https://image.nostr.build/4945f9260fce0520d85340b242c4a4751f67b8e363f31d582b8c2801ddfca486.jpg  
 Bitcoin is not a plan B.

It should be your plan A. 
 When your bank calls you about their 0.1% interest savings accounts but you own bitcoin https://image.nostr.build/e9fe0da672e0f11a8473942b3b2849ddc187ba58ae96fab7176ae3e93c8f63f9.jpg 
 Owning bitcoin is what winning looks like in slow motion. 
  Here's what you missed from his week: 

- Trump got a landslide victory -> Bitcoin pumped to an ATH of $75,000

- Deutsche Telekom plans to mine Bitcoin with green energy

- Michael Saylor plans to raise $21 billion to buy bitcoin

 The best time to buy bitcoin was yesterday.

The second best time is right now. 
 Senator Lummis proposes a bill for the U.S. to buy 200,000 Bitcoin annually over 5 years ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

Switzerland should do 2x this๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ญ https://image.nostr.build/35bb4a9b5df250675a5e51b051617b841fe1a9bf4888781ab0b05edb489458fb.jpg

 ATH > ETH 
 Ahah true 
 I wouldnโ€™t be surprised if it existed 
 We are not here to enrich crypto founders.

We're here for freedom money.

Bitcoin and โ€œcryptoโ€ are not the same. https://image.nostr.build/67b398a6701eb3acb5863b97bd229cbf8eb20ed804b121dae66f58cb99a39d41.jpg 
 The Bitcoin Policy Institute just dropped a 53-page policy briefing on a potential U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.

Hey Swiss government, you should read this ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‘€ https://image.nostr.build/606231cd28010ad05dfc633b2bf26c0c6bedbb6d9056207999a511910f4ca164.jpg  
 From a hackathon in Zรผrich to $500 million in Bitcoin sold to Europeans.

All while staying Bitcoin only and 100% self-custodial.

 Sooo early ๐Ÿ˜… 
 Let's do it ๐Ÿคฃ 
 Many make the mistake of lumping Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency market together.   

It's a disservice to Satoshi Nakamoto's genius to conflate Bitcoin's unique value proposition with the crypto industry's childishness. 

This is why Relai is bitcoin-only ๐Ÿ’™ https://image.nostr.build/3a7cb688c57e51922f9138c3907551d637e02805775285bd2df946dcec6520a4.jpg 
 Here's what you missed this week:

- Microsoft looking to buy Bitcoin (maybe)
- Metaplanet ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต reaches 1000 BTC on their balance sheet to protect against the failing Yen
- Bitcoin reaches $70,000 ๐ŸŽ‰

 Please stop trying to guess Satoshi's identity.

If Satoshi wanted clout, they would've:

- Made a TikTok dance
- Started a podcast
- Added 'crypto influencer' to their bio

Instead, they disappeared.

Let's respect that. 
 We can all have it. After all, we are all Satoshi
