Oct 20, 2024

While just about all means to get aid to Palestine have been cut off, you can still send Palestinians bitcoin to help them.

A gentleman named Yusef Mahmoud, who I’ve been in contact with for quite some time via X (Twitter), exchanges the digital assets for the local currency via an OTC desk and then uses the local currency to buy food and supplies for those in need.

I agree with my co-worker, Shinobi, who wrote this week that this is the most powerful demonstration of what Bitcoin can do since WikiLeaks.

I also want to give a major shout out to NoOnes CEO Ray Youssef for matching donations 9:1.

For more on Ray, a human being with a very big heart, check out my interview with him:

Let’s stand with the people of Palestine even as the United States, Israel and other global powers try to eradicate them.

Welcome to the Empowerment Epoch

On a similar note, I wrote a piece for Bitcoin Magazine this week on how this Bitcoin epoch will become known as the “Empowerment Epoch”.

Bitcoin was built for those around the world who’ve been financially disenfranchised, some of whom are finding Bitcoin during this epoch.

And as bitcoin becomes more liquid and as fiat currencies around the world lose more and more value, more and more people will turn to bitcoin to use it as money, despite what the ECB says.

Being A “Bitcoiner” Can Reduce Racism

Research from a Harvard professor Robert Putnam, the author of the the NY Times bestseller Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community suggests that identifying as a “Bitcoiner” can actually reduce racism.

Sounds a bit wonky, I know, but read the piece to learn more.

My Conversation with Suriname Presidential Candidate Maya Parbhoe

As I mentioned in the previous edition of the newsletter, I interviewed Maya Parbhoe, Suriname’s pro-Bitcoin presidential candidate, at Bitcoin Amsterdam last week.

In our talk, she laid out her plan to both fight corruption in her country as well as implement bitcoin as Suriname’s monetary unit of account.

Here’s a recording of the interview:

Fighting The Digital Dollar

Central Banks Digital Currencies (CBDCs) are coming and stablecoins are already here.

While the former are truly petrifying, the latter are quite scary, as well.

I discussed this with people who are familiar with the ins and outs of both types of digital dollars at Bitcoin Amsterdam last week, as well.

Hire Bitcoin Dadas!

On Wednesday, I hosted a Writers Mentorship session with the ladies of Bitcoin Dada, an incredible program that teaches African women about Bitcoin and helps them to develop job skills.

As I mentioned in the Tweet above, if you’re looking to hire writers, please keep these ladies in mind! They rock.

Markets: BTC On The Rise

After many months of sideways chop, bitcoin’s price looks like it’s getting ready to make a big upward move.

But that could also just be me being bullish at the $69k resistance level.

I’ve stopped buying for now (not that this should matter to you, because nothing in this newsletter is financial advice and your investment decisions are yours and yours alone) and am just getting ready to ride this wave up (if that is, in fact, what happens next).

Okay, that’s all for now.

I’m off to enjoy this beautiful autumn day in New York City.

Much love and take it ease.

Best,

Frank
