Thanks for the Citadel bump, @ODELL. The @MoneyBadger team certainly deserves it for enabling many of us to live on Bitcoin.

Sure, merchants don't necessarily know that payment is made with Bitcoin (until we tell them), but this is creating demand and increasing activity. It also makes it easier to orange pill merchants: "You're already accepting Bitcoin payments, why not do it without paying the payment provider fee?"

MoneyBadger is a game changer! 🧡🦡

Wonderful to be in a room with a number of Bitcoin Circular Economies from all across Africa at @Adopting Bitcoin Cape Town Conference #abct26

I use Liquid every day, but I have to admit that Blockstream has literally become a shitcoin company. I can proudly say that I have never touched a shitcoin or stablecoin, just as I have never taken ...

Does that mean you don't buy @AQUA Wallet's idea that stables can act as a "gateway coin", especially for poorer people who literally can't afford to weather Bitcoin's volatility?

Cyph3rp9nk · 5w

I don't agree. It may seem useful, but there you have the US government's move with tether. In the end, it has created a financing system through them that buys US debt. You have to choose between volatility and financing the states.

Anything that supports stablecoins is detrimental to Bitcoin.

Here's your excuse: @Adopting Bitcoin Cape Town Conference '26 (https://za26.adoptingbitcoin.org/).

Directly after that will be a Road Trip visiting a number of Bitcoin local economies here in the breathtakingly beautiful Garden Route. Including ours! We'd love to meet you.

Most people chase a paycheck, but real freedom comes from controlling the money you earn. Bitcoin isn’t about wealth; that’s a byproduct. It’s about freedom and autonomy.

As one our members say: it's about outcome, not income 💪
