Millions of small farmers in developing countries are not poor because they lack skill or demand.

They are poor because the fiat system blocks them from turning their produce into liquidity, locking up their capital.

#Bitcoin can fix this with Bitcredit Protocol.

We cannot sustainably earn #Bitcoin and spend #Bitcoin while the real economy stays on foul fiat currency.

But how?

Orange pilling merchants to accept Bitcoin is one.

Hard.

But the regional Bitcoin Economies pushed by fired-up enthusiasts show that it can be done. Follow @nprofile1q... to see the progress.

Now we also must orange pill 💊 the global supply chains. Make Bitcoin economies truly circular, bring them into international trade.

That's even harder.

But at Bitcredit Protocol we believe it can be done.

Why?

Because it must be done.

If you like near impossible tasks, join us. We will celebrate every single win.

Bitcredit Protocol is a free, open source community project.

We are Bitcoin maximalists in the original sense and follow Austrian Economics principles.

Anybody was and is welcome to join and contribute.

1. Yes, but modified to comply with Austrian Economics principles.

2. The wholesale e-bills sit on Nostr, the retail currency format is a novel form of non-custodial e-cash.

3. Yes, but not "discount". Mint. We will explain more upon mainchain launch.

4. Not free banking in Selgin's sense. In Bitcoin/Bitcredit we want banks strictly only as intermediaries of 100% money, not as fractional-reserve issuers.

Regarding Max’s article below:

Why is it so important that Bitcoin credit can bootstrap even where nobody has bitcoin, yet?

Remember the Greek Euro crisis of 2015, or the Cyprus haircut of 2013, or the Lebanese Central Bank Fraud of 2019.

In a monetary crisis, our powerful fiat enemies will simply declare bank holidays. Without access to bank accounts, nobody can “buy bitcoin”. This is a crucial problem, because in a fiat crisis is the best moment to switch to Bitcoin.

So here is the solution:

Even in a crisis, businesses still have access to their goods for sale, they actually must sell them before they spoil.

By selling on credit, they can create raw credit money, bills of exchange, which the Bitcredit Network of independent Wildcats can mint into fungible, divisible, and secure Bitcoin credits. Everyday people, workers, can get paid and can spend, the switch to Bitcoin is possible.

This is how we can kickstart Bitcoin economy in a fiat crisis.

Correct, and this is important.

Let’s analyse Ludwig Mises’s writing:

“…before the development of the bank-of-issue system, especially in England, bills circulated to a greater extent than afterward; that in Lancashire, for example, until the opening of a branch of the Bank of England in Manchester, nine-tenths of the total payments were made in bills and only one-tenth in money or banknotes.”

Note that with “money” Mises means gold. In @nprofile1q..., the base money is Bitcoin, not gold.

Payments can be made in e-bills, although Wildcat mints will reissue them fungible and dividable as non-custodial e-cash.

There will be no banknotes, the Bitcredit mechanism works with verifiably 100% backed and over-collateralised e-cash, denominated in #Bitcoin.
