The Texas-based #Bitcoin mining facility @RiotBlockchain got a text earlier this year during intense weather, “The power grid needs support. Please curtail now.”
The company then immediately shut down their machines and provided their power to 20,000 additional Texan homes. 🏠

Do your part to help restore the global hashrate.
Find a hash, win a #bitcoin. Paid directly to your wallet.

Nigerian 🇳🇬 peer-to-peer #bitcoin trading has grown to $204 million this year.
Yes. Very true. Federal law and what various states (both US states and foreign sovereign states) have very quickly diverging opinions on how this should go.

For #Bitcoin transactions in El Salvador, it will be nearly impossible for transaction parties to provide complete know-your customer information, as envisioned under the Bitcoin Law. Red flags by the Financial Action Task Force are imminent.

Bitcoin came into existence after the relentless hard work and sacrifice of many cyberpunks.
Many had to undergo prison and death threats from authoritarian regimes.
#Bitcoin was not designed to make us rich, it was designed to fight for our basic human rights.

We should have approved a #Bitcoin ETF long ago says SEC Commissioner. “With each passing day, the rationale that we have used in the past for not approving seems to grow weaker.” -Hester Peirce

#BREAKING: Today, the US State Department named 14 El Salvadorans, many associated with the Bukele regime, as corrupt or undemocratic actors. First, it was El Salvador's #Bitcoin Law. Now, the State Department is wielding the hammer. https://www.state.gov/reports/353-corrupt-and-undemocratic-actors-report/

Deeper dives into:
- CEO @jack: Bitcoin Lightning Network on Twitter ‘Only a matter of time’.
- Locked in: Taproot upgrade gets 90% mandate from #Bitcoin nodes.
- @solanalabs raises $314M in new funding to develop faster blockchain tech.
No one, not even the FBI, can crack #Bitcoin's security. I explore the math and physics behind this in this week's issue.

#bitcoin IS money.
The law in El Salvador says so. This argument is dead.
RT @BitcoinMagazine
Texas to allow state banks to hold #bitcoin
Also: El Salvador seeks to become the first country to make bitcoin legal tender. El Salvador President @nayibbukele announced that he intends to propose legislation that will make #Bitcoin legal tender in his country.
Also: @jack says @Square is considering a bitcoin hardware wallet. Square may be considering a #Bitcoin hardware wallet for securely storing the cryptocurrency connected to the company’s @CashApp capability, reported @TheBlock__
New Issue! Now that it's official that El Salvadore has declared #bitcoin legal tender, how does one tactically use it day to day? I've been doing this for years, and I talk about my tool kit in this issue.

Why are the people attacking #Bitcoin so ignorant? Where did all the smart ones go?
