A New Declaration Of Independence

Hey there fellow Bitcoiners,

This is Bam, a perma-bitcoin-bull and your new friend. I'm taking over the Bitcoin Magazine newsletter. We're now shipping a daily newsletter where I'll be reminding you to do your daily Bitcoin education! Regardless of the mainstream media narrative, I'll be sharing good vibes and my optimistic opinions on the hottest pieces on Bitcoin Magazine.

Why are we doing this? Simple, because bitcoin is the best chance we've got for freedom. Bitcoin is hope for humanity, and the only way to achieve this goal is by educating ourselves and the people around us, to keep conviction high, and stack those beautiful sats.

Anyway, pleased to meet you, but just remember that I am always bullish and this is not financial advice. Let's get right to it!

A NEW DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

Bitcoin And The American Idea
By Alex Gladstein

Has America strayed from its founding ideals? An activist and a refugee think Bitcoin can help it get back on track.

Gladstein's piece is a reminder that many things in this world are made up of good and bad, while nothing being absolute. A masterful piece showing the contrast of America, being described with two truthful sides of it, a land with a systemic or structural problem and a land of opportunity and potential. Both sides converging on the same idea where The Declaration of Independence is not enough as we go deeper into the digital future, mentioning that a new declaration is needed. This new declaration should be focused on "personal freedom, openness, prosperity, opportunity, property rights and free expression; one opposed to slavery, discrimination, theft, double standards, confiscation and censorship." - Alex. 

This much-needed and empowering new declaration is sitting in front of us, waiting to be fully embraced. This is Bitcoin.

THE DAILY BITS

Bitcoin doesn't stop producing blocks, we don't stop the signal:

1. Mircea Popescu left an indelible if controversial legacy in Bitcoin, one defined largely by his manic blog posts and unconventional ideas.

2. AZ Alkmaar will receive bitcoin payments from its new sponsor, local exchange Bitcoin Meester, and hold it on its balance sheet until 2024.

3. Greenidge Generation Holdings, the bitcoin mining company, will introduce a second facility located in South Carolina.

4. In this episode of "The Van Wirdum Sjorsnado", the hosts are joined by Lightning developer Joost Jager to discuss Lightning Network routing.

5. Bitcoin critics often suffer from a type of cognitive dissonance, preventing them from absorbing information about Bitcoin.

THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE

Bitcoin: Our Only Hope To Separate Money From State
By Jack Kriesel

In a world where power structures seem endlessly intertwined, Bitcoin offers an alternate pathway.

"It is precisely because of how radical and ambitious Bitcoin is that we must undertake this project as a society." - Jack

This piece is magical and it illustrates the path to achieve the goal which gold has failed to overcome: Separating Money from State. These unprecedented times are due to manipulated monetary expansion and capital is flocking away from traditional assets in search of a store of value and bitcoin portrays a viable solution. In fact, it may be the only possible option.

THE COUNCIL HAS SPOKEN

Michael Saylor's Bitcoin Mining Council First Quarterly Report

By Jessie Willms

The controversial organization has had its first major public briefing, discussing important aspects of the mining industry.


The Bitcoin Mining Council shared its first message since inception where members hosted a live presentation with two important points. First, global bitcoin mining energy use is negligible, and second, bitcoin mining has the highest sustainable energy mix with 56% of sustainable energy by Q2 2021. The main point here is the transparency, and bitcoin critics are running out of arguments.

CHART OF THE DAY

This Time Is Different

By Crypto_birb

A beautiful chart describing human psychology of bitcoin detractors. The argument "this time is different" and "bitcoin is dead" has been used over and over again in every single price retracement throughout history.
But guess what? It is no different, bitcoin comes back up, as strong and resilient as ever. Like a Fenix.

Today's issue was brought to you by Bam and Joe.
Keep on reading, keep on stacking.
