🚨Business accepting Bitcoin🚨

Hey #Toronto residents! New coffee shop accepting #Bitcoin on St Clair Ave West. Capsules Coffee House. Go show them some love and support! Let’s get this circular economy going!🚀

Here's a look at how 21,000,000 Million #Bitcoin (the total amount of #BTC there can ever be) look compared to the number of humans on earth (more than 8 Billion). This is what a scarce, truly global asset looks like...you might want to get just a little.

No, you stay humble and stack sats.


Price of #Bitcoin  is back above USD$0.043M this morning and it looks like there is a pretty big pocket of shorts piled in at USD$0.0434M. This could get interesting as we head into the day and US spot $BTC ETFs look to fill orders on first day of markets following US holiday.

We're just getting started at rhe Bitcoin Coalition of Canada, but it's so encouraging to already see an increased sense of connection among Bitcoiners and #Bitcoin groups across Canada 🇨🇦. We can't wait for the next steps of this journey. Visit us online at www.bitcoincoalition.ca


Every Bitcoiner in Canada, the U..S., Austealia and throughout Europe should really make an effort to try BOTH the #LightningNetwork and #Liquid. Even if your main use for #Bitcoin is as a store of value, it's important to get a first hand sense of the various use cases and how these tools work.

nostr:note1lsdft8wn8m7uv63l8nj7du4p5hmchtfdcrx8dl9v523720gju60q89cafu


The fact that Bitcoin isn't yet accepted everywheree and for everything really underlines for me how few people have actually used Lightning. Whenever I show somebody how it works, there's always that "wow" moment. But why was it a surprise?

The problem is that normal people still understand BTC from the one half-remembered opinion piece they read in 2017, and are operating under the belief that transactions still take an hour to settle, rather than being instantaneous and irreversible — money transmission without the Paypal Problem. The public mind needs a cache refresh.


We are curating a list and contact info for #Bitcoin  meet-ups / groups across Canada. Visit our website at www.bitcoincoalition.ca and find them under “Communities”. Are we missing any communities or any details? Let us know! 🇨🇦🧡


We have an exciting vision for the Bitcoin Coalition of Canada. Wheels are in motion. Our goal is to make Canada 🇨🇦 one of the best places in the world for #Bitcoin and Bitcoiners. We hope you will donate some sats to support BCC as we get started. You can do so via our Geyser campaign or by zapping us on #Nostr. Every sat makes a difference. We're grateful for your support!

BitcoinCoalition

Not-for-profit organization building awareness of the economic, social and environmental benefits of #Bitcoin for Canada and the world. Launching soon!


Happy new year! Are you a Canadian business (small or large) that is among the 🇨🇦 and global leaders like nostr:npub12ym4gud920vsfrudtuey6xc99aamgxtemfg056sgxgd855u93vpq7m2gc5 by putting #Bitcoin in your company’s reserves? Or, is this part of your plan for 2024? Let us know so we can help promote your business and drive customers to you!


You should definitely follow nostr:npub1f7ptem2ztp9x4n7w62n90ddv40z0jrt4490d8lug3uasfwyjsccqkknerm and his wife on their #Bitcoin journey around the world. Follow their efforts to raise awareness of Bitcoin and to help increase global adoption and use of #BTC. Amazing stuff! 🇨🇦🧡

Happy New Year Nostriches!!!


yes, good point!


If you aren't already doing so, please follow nostr:npub12ym4gud920vsfrudtuey6xc99aamgxtemfg056sgxgd855u93vpq7m2gc5, an amazing 🇨🇦 restaurant chain and an amazing business. They are kind of like Canada's MicroStrategy -- holding #Bitcoin in their treasury and helping raise the profile of this strategy for businesses across Canada.

If you want to win as a Canadian business over the coming decade, be like nostr:npub12ym4gud920vsfrudtuey6xc99aamgxtemfg056sgxgd855u93vpq7m2gc5 and make sure you add and hold #Bitcoin in your business’s reserves.


January 3, 2024 is the15th birthday of #Bitcoin (Genesis Day) AND it’s also the annual #proofofkeys day. Let’s make an extra effort over the next few days to get #BTC off of exchanges. If you or friends/family have Bitcoin on an exchange get it into a self-custodied wallet.


MicroStrategy Picked Up 14620 BTC to End The Year

"As of December 26, 2023, MicroStrategy, together with its subsidiaries, held an aggregate of approximately 189,150 bitcoins, which were acquired at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $5.895 billion and an average purchase price of approximately $31,168 per bitcoin, inclusive of fees and expenses," was stated in the announcement.

For anyone trying to make sense of the "censorship" and "risk" debate related to ordinals on #Bitcoin and why the work of Ocean Mining is so important, we highly recommend this episode of nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z's podcast. It's a must listen/watch.

https://youtu.be/zXccoOlmtMY?si=I4LTPj1cNbp3zLSi


Regardless of whether you think that spot #Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. will be a net positive or negative, the fact remains that purchasin actual #BTC and self custodying it is far superior and has a far greater benefit. So, stay humble and keep stacking sats! ⚡


THE PLANNED FEDIMINT HYBRID APPROACH OF MUTINY WALLET IS INCREDIBLY INTERESTING.

USE FEDIMINTS FOR SMALL BALANCES AND LN ADDRESS RECEIVE. SEAMLESSLY TRANSFER FUNDS TO SELF CUSTODY WHEN BALANCE INCREASES.

RESULT IS A LIGHTNING WALLET THAT IS AS EASY TO USE AS A CUSTODIAL WALLET WITH LESS CUSTODIAL RISK AND BETTER PRIVACY. SEEMS LIKE A WINNER.


Uncle always says FOSS is the way, and it’s the way cause he has an impeccable reputation and career… He has many times been a safe place for me and many others.

It’s why we see his projects be packed with reputable beings that create and flourish…

If you want grandiosity, praise, lavish lifestyles, maybe FOSS is not the way for you… but if it is no great person in history created a legacy without sacrifice… nostr:note1dcfzexn0seztxpjas90ueekcszxgdmnwmj9syp3qj26dlauee3qqms6cfp


Well said! 🧡


If you are a Canadian #Bitcoin er and we're not yet following you on #nostr please let us know! Whether you live in Canada or abroad, we want to make sure we follow and boost all Canadian Bitcoiners.


Canadians are not only adopting and using #Bitcoin here at home. There is a growing cohort of Canadians like nostr:npub1f7ptem2ztp9x4n7w62n90ddv40z0jrt4490d8lug3uasfwyjsccqkknerm  who are travelling and living abroad, contributing to global education and adoption. It’s great to see 🇨🇦’s building the better, brighter, orange future worldwide.

🚨 30 Day Whiteboard Challenge 🚨

Day 4 (Dec 24): Arrived at 🇹🇿 early in the morning after a long day of driving from Uganda.

-Sent #Bitcoin to a fellow traveller

Doing so meant one #Bitcoin interaction in each country (UG,KE,TZ) within a 24 hour period!

8 months ago I spoke with @BrindonMwiine for the first time. He was inspired by my whiteboard to bring it to the streets of Kampala.

Today we united our two whiteboards in front of Makerere University (Uganda's largest university)

Hello #Nostr fam! We would greatly aappreciate your support as we work to get the #Bitcoin Coalition of Canada up and running in early 2024 (beyond our current social media presence). If you can spare some sats ⚡ we would appreciate a zap. We would also really appreciate your “follow” to help us boost our visibility. We have more info about who we are and our vision/roadmap at www.bitcoincoalition.ca and our Geyser campaign page at https://geyser.fund/project/bitcoincoalition.
https://m.primal.net/HUph.jpg


It's hard to overstate the significance of #Bitcoin as the world’s first truly global, decentralized and open-source asset/money. This means that all efforts to advance #BTC adoption and use (even if the focus is hyper-local) accrue in many ways to the full global network of individuals and groups participating in the Bitcoin movement. How cool is that! On that note, a tip of the hat to a short list of Canadians 🇨🇦 (and Canadian residents whom we're officially adopting) who are having a pretty major impact on the Bitcoin global stage:

We love the #Bitcoin Cheat Code concept that nostr:npub14mcddvsjsflnhgw7vxykz0ndfqj0rq04v7cjq5nnc95ftld0pv3shcfrlx and team are advancing through Real Bedford FC and other initiatives that fall under or are adjacent to the What Bitcoin Did podcast. Providing people tangible ways to see and understand how Bitcoin positively incentivizes and produces economic development and opportunity is brilliant. Excited to see what comes of thisconference and very encouraged to see other applications of the Cheat Code being implemented elsewhere. This is a strategy we want to explore for adoption and day-to-day use of Bitcoin across Canada.

It’s important for Canadians and policymakers across Canada to understand the important social and human rights impact that #Bitcoin is having around the world. nostr:npub1zkr064avsxmxzaasppamps86ge0npwvft9yu3ymgxmk9umx3xyeq9sk6ec in South Africa is an inspiring example among many, many examples worldwide. The Adopting Bitcoin Conference #AB24CPT in Cape Town, South Africa in Jan 2024 will  be another important opportunity for people to learn more about their work and how it can be adapted bby other communities.

Please help us spread word about local #Bitcoin communities across Canada. One of the best ways for us to scale up Bitcoin awareness, education and adoption is to boost these local communities and to encourage new one to take shape. Spread the word!

Thank you to individuals who have zapped us so far, in support of our fundraising goals to set up the Bitcoin Coalition of Canada and carry out education, outreach, research and policy/advocacy efforts over the months ahead. Our mission is to make #Canada one of the best place in the world for #Bitcoin and Bitcoiners. It’s an ambitious plan, and we’re up for the challenge! All zaps ⚡are greatly appreciated. Every sat makes a difference.

Gradually, more and more governments around the world will officially recognize/allow #Bitcoin  to be used as money, and without punitive restrictions (eg, capital gains tax on transactions). Eventually, all governments including the Government of #Canada will need to do so. The sooner they do, the greater the advantages for local economy and population. #cdnpoli 🇨🇦

As we ease onto #Nostr we look forward to a broad range of connections and engagements as part of a global #Bitcoin and freedom movement. Our first priority is to get connected to as many Canadians (Bitcoiners and others) as possible on Nostr.
