BITCOIN IS FREE SPEECH

How Bitcoin Could Replace OnlyFans
By Leigh Cuen


As OnlyFans plans to ban sexually explicit content over pressure from banking partners, Bitcoin offers the chance to promote freedom.

OnlyFans, the adult content platform, has reported plans to stop allowing sexually explicit content in October, due to the pressure from various banking partners. Even though this could seem outrageous from a human rights perspective, the move is hardly surprising given similar events historically.

As money is an extension of freedom of speech, the imposed limits by the financial industry, only ends up hurting people by limiting their ability to express themselves, and of course it stops certain entertainers from making a living.

Bitcoin fixes this, as the ultimate way to express free speech. What can we do to help as bitcoiners? Request a bitcoin payment option for the services we consume.

INCREASING EXPOSURE

BlackRock, The World's Largest Asset Manager, Invest In Bitcoin Mining
By Alex McShane

BlackRock allocated over $382 million to shares of Marathon Digital Holdings & Riot Blockchain.

BlackRock, known as the world asset manager with over $9 trillion in assets under management, continues its involvement in the bitcoin space. Starting out by revealing big holdings of MicroStrategy ($MSTR), and Square ($SQ) earlier this year, they have now announced to have allocated capital to Marathon Digital Holdings ($MARA) and Riot Blockchain ($RIOT), North American bitcoin mining companies.

As an interesting fact, their portfolio captures a big percentage of many of these companies:

  • 15.8% of MSTR
  • 5.9% of SQ
  • 6.7% of MARA
  • 6.6% of RIOT
I guess BlackRock is bullish on bitcoin.

THE NEED FOR BITCOIN

50 Years Since The Gold Standard Ended, Bitcoin Is Needed More Than Ever
By Andrew Grette

After 50 years of President Nixon announcing the end of the gold standard for the U.S. monetary system, the need for bitcoin couldn't be more crystal clear.

Grette's essay is a reminder of the big move onto the Fiat Standard, and a list of historical events that seem to be attributed to it, by reducing the marginal cost of money production to zero, and a reflection on how society needs to go back to a hard money standard.

Bitcoin solves the root cause of income inequality, as per the article, as this begins at printing money.

By mitigating this abuse of power, we wouldn't have an artificially appreciating stock market, allowing the rich to get richer, and the poor to continue their never-ending pursuit of holding assets, which appreciate far away from their reach.

"Bitcoin's 12-year track record demonstrates it is not a fad ready to die at any moment, and the narrative is further growing in the necessary directions. Bitcoin is a long game, and will continue to operate as such. Monetary systems and societal structures don't change overnight." - Andrew Grette
