Great things happen when Bitcoiners join forces!
Over 30 people learned completely FREE what Bitcoin is truly about, and 2 have already become users of the Bitcoin network, now holding their own private keys after attending our very affordable Self Custody workshops.
This was only possible through the collaboration between Stacked, the best Bitcoin-only exchange in NZ, run by proper maxis; Radical Investments, pioneers in the industry enabling Bitcoin exposure in kiwis retirement plans (KiwiSaver); and ourselves, Bitcoin Journey.
Hopefully, the first collaboration of many, helping deliver free, and sustainable, Bitcoin education across Aotearoa.
Big thanks to Criterion Law Firm and the @Bitcoin Basin. NZ , whose support allows us to run workshops just like these ones, free and open to everyone in Queenstown twice a month.
Onwards!

Please give a warm welcome to our new merchant: Buzzstop.
At Buzzstop, you can:
🍯 Taste 40+ different flavoured honeys
🐝 See the honey-making process from live beehives to the final jar
🏷️ Learn how honey is produced, and even label your own honey
🌿 Discover why the Mānuka honey in New Zealand is so special, with its antibacterial properties and long history of use for its healing qualities.
And if all that wasn’t enough reason to drop by…you can now pay for your honey in #Bitcoin!
If you’re in Queenstown, make sure you drop by and say hi to Nick and the Buzzstop team, not only they are lovely, but they’re also a 5th-generation beekeeping family, so they definitely know what they’re doing!
We’re honoured to have Buzzstop as part of the Bitcoin Basin.

Do you believe everyone should know about Bitcoin but struggle to orange pill friends & family?
That’s why we’ve partnered with Stacked and Radical Investments to bring a 100% FREE Bitcoin workshop to Auckland.
We’ll cover: Bitcoin basics, why it matters, the importance of self-custody and so much more.
The dates:
16th September — 18:00
17th September — 10:30
On the 18th we’ll also be running a practical Self-Custody Workshop, designed to teach how to set up a hardware wallet and take your Bitcoin off exchanges.
Forward the link to anyone you want to get off zero, because that’s literally what we’ll be doing.
Bitcoiners are always welcome, the presentation will spark some very interesting conversations and it will a great opportunity to meet other Bitcoiners.
See you in Auckland!

@The Bitcoin Conference Asia was a huge success.
It’s undeniable that Bitcoin adoption is growing steadily all over the world.
The constant rise in the long term price of Bitcoin is a clear sign, but when you meet the people building on Bitcoin, that’s when you truly understand why nothing is going to stop this train.

Scammers will use every opportunity they can to exploit people.
Below is someone impersonating as official Trezor taking advantage of the recent Coldcard vulnerability to create even more confusion, panic, and urgency. This mail was sent to someone who recently attended one of our Self Custody group workshops.
Most people don’t follow this space closely and could easily fall for something like this. That’s why the role of educators is so important: to be a beacon people can turn to whenever they need help navigating this new frontier.
The Bitcoin Journey is incredibly rewarding, but it also comes with many risks and dangers.
Ultimately, our role is to help people spot the difference between noise and signal.

Seen many posts on X from Bitcoiners saying that Bitcoin has no market fit as a Medium of Exchange, and that spending sats is dumb as fiat/stablecoins have a better use case.
My two sats below:
It is THANKS TO THE SPENDERS that Bitcoin has its current level of adoption.
Would Bitcoin be where it is today if Laszlo had never bought those pizzas with Bitcoin? If everyone had only hodled?
Of course paying in fiat/stablecoins is (currently) more convenient and smoother. It’s weaker money, and the rails of the fiat system have been built over hundreds of years.
But when you pay in Bitcoin, you send a HUGE message to the merchant, their staff, and their customers:
“This is the money I choose, and I value your service enough to pay you with the best money ever created.”
Just ask yourself: would you rather be paid in Bitcoin or fiat?
Hyperbitcoinization is inevitable, but it’s up to us whether it takes 20 years or 100.
Normalizing Bitcoin and making it real and tangible for everyday people is how we accelerate adoption.
Especially considering how easy it is to Spend & Replace thanks to Lightning.
In our local circular economy, @Bitcoin Basin. NZ , 50+ merchants currently accept Bitcoin and the main reason is simple: we actively support the merchants who are open minded enough to accept it.
When you offer to pay in Bitcoin, you create an incentive for merchants to consider it and eventually accept it.
Paying in Bitcoin is one of the easiest and most effective ways to get people started on their Bitcoin Journey.
It’s almost a public service for the network…just like in the early days, when people gave away literally hundreds of bitcoin so others could become familiar with the technology.
It’s your money. You can do whatever you want with it.
But if you want to see hyperbitcoinization in your lifetime, consider using it.
