If you’re not measuring in Bitcoin, you’re measuring the wrong thing. “Must do your unit of accounting in Bitcoin. If you’re not, there’s no point. ‘Oh, I have more purchasing power in dollars.’ Cool. But did you end the year with one more Bitcoin or one less Bitcoin? That’s all that matters. It’s not about the fiat price. If you started with 0.001 BTC and finished with 0.002 BTC, even if the dollar number is lower ,you acquired more Bitcoin. That’s the success. That’s the secret sauce.” @Bitbrandshop Share Your Bitcoin Journey Ep 19 Stop tracking your wealth in a currency designed to debase. Start tracking it in the one that doesn’t.

Tonight we start at the root. What is money? Most people have never been given the chance to seriously ask. We’re building that understanding from the ground up—in community, on a sound money standard, with low time preference. Class 1 is live tonight at 7 PM ET. No Bitcoin required. Just curiosity.

Bitcoin saved my life. Pete of @Bitbrandshop, inventor of the Bitcoin branding iron. Steel, fire, and leather. No two pieces alike. Full episode of Share Your Bitcoin Journey: youtu.be/rXqC851gJSY

@thekylehuber gave up on being a storyteller. Contract work was a hamster wheel. Trade time for money. He thought the only way out was to scale a business and sell it. Bitcoin pulled him back to the camera. "Satoshi gifted us Bitcoin so we could bring our gifts to the world." Full conversation: youtu.be/QNSMk0dGQWw

@saifedean joined a thoughtful conversation on the Doha Debates podcast about a question that affects all of us: who controls your money? In the discussion he lays out a simple but powerful idea. Money works best when its supply can’t be expanded at will. When it can, the new units quietly reduce the value of what people already hold. He contrasts that with gold, which lasted for so long because no one could just create more of it on demand, and with Bitcoin, which offers individuals a practical way to opt out of systems built on ongoing dilution. Whether you agree with every point or not, the exchange is a clear, patient look at principles of sound money that many people never get to hear explained in plain language. Worth watching if you want to understand why some people treat the hardness of money as foundational rather than technical. Full episode here: youtu.be/eli2cAEY3jA Good entry point for anyone curious about how money actually works and why it matters.

The largest crypto heist in history just hit $6.3 billion drained from Binance in minutes. Not your keys, not your coins. Full stop.

Bitcoin For The Arts has free education and webinars built for creators: • What is money • Bitcoin in practice • Protecting your Bitcoin: security & self-custody deep dive Learn how to hold your own keys, use Lightning, and stack sats responsibly.

Holding bitcoin through the 80% drops is how it survived. Never spending it is what's holding it back. "You don't end up with more bitcoin by not spending bitcoin. You end up with more by buying more and earning more." @thekylehuber on his barber's first sats, and why there's zero downside to spending. Want to start? Send sats to an artist. @ainsleymusic07. @Radicalart777. A like says nice job. A zap is real value. Full episode: youtu.be/QNSMk0dGQWw

What is @anikmalcolm's one-of-one worth in 2140, priced in Bitcoin? A Lady Nakamoto cost $100. It hangs in the office and gets looked at every day. Support an artist out of care. Then be honest about the upside. @WeAreSatoshiPod youtu.be/w5x1dTXvX4E If the person on camera saying "I paid $100" is you, use this instead. I paid $100 for a @Radicalart777. It hangs in my office. I look at it every day. I should have paid more. What is Anik Malcolm's one-of-one worth in 2140, priced in Bitcoin? Support an artist out of care.

Artists will come to Bitcoin by choice or by force. We are here to help you make the choice.

Most of us found Bitcoin through a friend, a podcast, or a rabbit hole online. But how many people found it because a painting stopped them in their tracks? Or a song touched their heart? That's why we bring culture to Bitcoin conferences. Full convo with @thekylehuber @WeAreSatoshiPod 👇 youtu.be/w5x1dTXvX4E?t=3417

"When we are watching a show, we are basically living through the main character's eyes." Fzero (@go9fold) on why a character teaches what a lecture cannot. @bleepsignal. Share Your Bitcoin Journey, Ep 18. youtu.be/uCW-3qOJdVo?t=1869

Beautifully said Mike. The culture layer is the one that really matters! 🧡

Baltic Honey Badger, Riga 2024. @thehigherlow plays Freedom Engine live for the first time, fast, Green Day fast. Then @knutsvanholm jumps on the drums at half the speed.Rami slows down to meet him. It works. The song has been slower ever since. Share Your Bitcoin Journey, Ep 17. youtu.be/e1rInzZNtkk

Bitcoin gives us the ability to create value 4 value peer to peer interaction that no centralized platform can ever deny. Power to the Peers.

With Bitcoin we have this really nice movement that we call V4V — Value for Value — where fans can send Satoshis directly to us artists. It’s still early. Nobody’s living off streaming alone. But at the shows in Las Vegas and Belgrade this year, we got meaningful amounts of sats during the set. "There’s huge potential there.” @thehigherlow, Share Your Bitcoin Journey Ep 17 Fans paying artists directly. No label. No platform cut.
