 yo 
 Great to connect! 🇨🇦 
 Calling all Canadian Bitcoiners!!! Please tag us if we're not already following you. Help us help you increase your visibility and contribute to making 🇨🇦 one of the best places in the world for #Bitcoin and Bitcoiners. Let's build! Let's go!!! 
 We need your support to keep this Bitcoin Coalition of Canada moving forward, especially in the context of an upcoming federal election in Canada 🇨🇦 where we need to shape the political/policy narrative about #Bitcoin. Donations received through our Geyser campaign (link below) or and will continuenti support an operational costs throughout 2024 as we build our longer term strategy and resource mobilization.

 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.

 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.

 GOOD MORNING NOSTR, STAY HUMBLE AND STACK SATS 🫡 
 No, you stay humble and stack sats. 
 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.

 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!

 Happy new year! Are you a Canadian business (small or large) that is among the 🇨🇦 and global leaders like @tahinis 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 @studentofbitcoin 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!!! 
 * in UTXOs greater than 1M sats ;)  
 yes, good point! 
 If you aren't already doing so, please follow @tahinis, 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 @tahinis 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. 
 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 @preston's podcast. It's a must listen/watch.

 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! ⚡️ 
 Uncle always says FOSS is the way, and it’s the way cause he has an impeccable reputation and c... 
 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 @studentofbitcoin  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.

 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.

 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: 

@Jeff Booth @FRANCIS @BTCsessions @renatarodrigues  @jb55 @ayelen @NVK @bradmillscan @Scott @BitcoinBrains @sebbunney @TomerStrolight @Mags 
 Bitcoin needs help in Canada.  

LFG! 
 100% and we're excited to ramp up efforts in 2024. LFG indeed! 
 Hey @⚡️Rony₿oy⚡️🇨🇦 , thank you so much for your recent zap⚡️and support. We really appreciate it! 🙏 
 Thank you for your recent zaps⚡️and support @Canadian Progressive Bitcoiner. We greatly appreciate it! 
 Thanks for your recent zaps⚡️and support @Ulysses. We greatly appreciate it! 
 Thank you @Relic for your recent zap ⚡️and support. We greatly appreciate it! 🙏 
 Thank you @JamGosBTC for the generous zap ⚡️and your support. We greatly appreciate it. 🙏 
 We love the #Bitcoin Cheat Code concept that @petermccormack 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. @bitcoinekasi 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. You can also support us by following us and by donating sats through our @geyser campaign at: https://geyser.fund/project/bitcoincoalition 🙏🇨🇦🧡 
 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 🇨🇦

 Canadians now have a “Bitcoin only” voice dedicated to advancing #Bitcoin education, research, adoption, and public policy. As we prepare for work ahead, we need your support! You can do so through our new @geyser campaign. Thank you and please re-post and share with your networks. 🙏🇨🇦

https://geyser.fund/project/bitcoincoalition 
 As we get set to officially launch over the coming months, your support is greatly appreciated! Please follow the Bitcoin Coalition of Canada (BCC) on Nostr and zap us if you can spare some sats. All #Bitcoin received go toward our set up and initial operating costs for 2024. 🇨🇦🙏🧡 
 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. So, if that’s YOU or if you just want to help us get connected please re-post this and/or give us a follow. Thank you!!! 🇨🇦✊

 The Bitcoin Coalition of Canada (BCC) is slowly getting set up on diverse communications channels and #Nostr is an important priority for us as we get set for our “official” launch over the months ahead. We hope you will follow us and be part of our mission to make Canada one of the best jurisdictions for #Bitcoin and Bitcoiners!
