🌏 FOR FREEDOM

Slave Coin Or Freedom Coin: Which Way Western Man?
By Aleksandar Svetski

Have you ever heard the phrase “Bitcoin, not crypto”? This article is a great piece to understand the Bitcoin maximalist ideology and why most of the other cryptocurrencies are more akin to tickets to the slaughterhouse than lottery tickets. The author of this article also writes about how mankind has to soon make the decision to succumb to centralized digital money or rally around the freedom and sovereignty of bitcoin.

This article exposes many of the ideas and reasons why Bitcoin matters and why it might be the best discovery yet by humankind. Bitcoin is the removal of “rulers'' and “issuers” of money, the removal of monetary inflation, the de-monopolization of money, the placement of money into the realm of physical and natural laws, the fusion of energy (universal “physical” currency) and money (in the metaphysical sense) and a lot more.

😌 A RELIEF

Bitcoin Magazine Partners With NBA Stars For Ukranian Relief
By Shawn Amick

Two Ukranian NBA stars, Svi Mykhailiuk of the Toronto Raptors and Alex Len from the Sacramento Kings, have partnered with Bitcoin Magazine to help support humanitarian relief efforts in Ukraine by enabling anyone to donate bitcoin by simply scanning a QR code on the front of the player's shoe.

Both of the NBA players understand Bitcoin's value proposition and are in fact Bitcoiners themselves. Knowing that this is a freedom technology, they decided to unite forces and showcase one of the true powers of bitcoin; sending money across borders with minimal cost and in a censorship resistant way.

"We’re Bitcoiners ourselves, so we know Bitcoin is the most effective way of sending money instantly to those that need it.” – Mykhailiuk and Len

☕ THE STORY

El Salvador: One Small Step For Bitcoin
By Aaron Van Wirdum

El Salvador: One small step for Bitcoin, one giant step for mankind. The small Central American country managed to be the first one, and surely not the last one, to recognize the benefits of using a decentralized and scarce monetary system and made Bitcoin legal tender. But the tale of Bitcoin and El Salvador is not that simple — it is full of ups and downs and has many lessons that can give us insight into how hyperbitcoinization could happen. 

From a presentation made by Jack Mallers at Bitcoin 2021 where, in short a recording Nayib Bukele, El Salvador’s president, announced that he will propose a bill to make bitcoin legal tender in El Salvador, to today, the author of this article discusses the history of El Salvador and Bitcoin. He writes about the pushback, the growth, the potential and more.

MEME OF THE DAY 
By Rope

No one loves selling their bitcoin, not if the intention is to "take profit off the table" or to "buy lower." Bitcoin is a savings and freedom technology, and we should strive together to accumulate more for ourselves. As we give value to it by holding, we are also validating the accumulation effort of every other member of the network.

With love,
Bam
