Ecash looks like part of the stack even if you write it off lol

One billion satoshis donated to bolster mining decentralization and enhance privacy is a most favourable development. It is fascinating to observe Bitcoin's applications expanding into new layers and human rights education.

🟧 1 Billion Sats — Where the Funding Really Goes 🟧

In 2025, the Human Rights Foundation / Bitcoin Development Fund (BDF) gifted 800 million sats to 22 projects advancing:

⚡ Bitcoin education in dictatorships

🕵️ Privacy tools & open-source software

🕊️ Support for activists under authoritarian regimes

Meanwhile, OpenSats keeps funding open-source Bitcoin + Nostr initiatives:

Mostro → P2P protocol built on Nostr

Payjoin → Transaction privacy upgrade

Cashu/ecash → Expanding the freedom tech ecosystem

💡 What this means:

1️⃣ This isn’t hype — it’s real funding for freedom tech.

2️⃣ The “1 billion sats” figure is aggregate across HRF, OpenSats & private donors.

3️⃣ These grants have direct impact: from privacy layers to activist resilience.

🧡 Bitcoin. Privacy. Freedom.

The future is being funded — one sat at a time.
