🔔BITCOIN DOESN’T MAKE THINGS EXPENSIVE. FIAT STEALS YOUR TIME. ⏳

Time is your scarcest resource. You can’t print more of it. You can’t reverse it. Every hour you trade for fiat is an hour of your life confiscated by central banks.

Let’s talk about two bakers:

🇺🇸 New York Baker: Sells a 500g loaf for $4.99.

🇪🇬 Cairo Baker: Sells the same loaf for 30.87 EGP (~$1).

Western tourists call Egypt “cheap.” But cheap compared to what? Not real value, just their own debased fiat currencies.

The brutal truth:

• The Cairo baker isn’t “poor’.The Egyptian pound is.

• The NewYork baker isn’t ‘rich.” The dollar is just collapsing slower.

• Bread isn’t getting “expensive.” Fiat is dying.

And it’s not just bakers. It’s you.

Fiat turns labor into a treadmill. You run harder, but the horizon recedes. Your paycheck isn’t “stagnant”, it’s being erased in real time.

📉 1913: $1 = 1,500+ mg of gold

📉 2024: $1 = 17 mg of gold

Your time, labor, and savings? Drained by design.

Bitcoin fixes this:

☑️On a Bitcoin standard, prices fall over time instead of rising. (Deflationary sound money)

☑️Your hours worked today gain value tomorrow. (No Cantillon Effect)

☑️Prices reflect real scarcity, not central bank manipulation. (Nakamoto’s protocol > politicians)

And here’s the game-changer:

🚀 If your wealth is in Bitcoin, you are a global tourist. Every national currency in the world is getting cheaper.

Bitcoin doesn’t rise. Fiat just falls.

The #Cairo baker’s struggle isn’t “foreign.” It’s your future on fiat. The dollar has already lost 98% of its value since 1913. If you’re still measuring wealth in fiat, you’re watching your life’s work evaporate.

Your scarce time deserves a hard money denominator one that can’t be devalued by anyone.

Switch your scoreboard.

Measure your life in #Bitcoin, the only money harder than your time.

The choice is simple:

Fiat slavery or Bitcoin sovereignty.

Tick tock #nostr, next block.

it's funny but today I was thinking, it cost me 18000 sats for a haircut, I wonder in the future when a haircut costs 18 sats, our kids will be like, are you crazy! you spent 18000 sats on a haircut!

wouldn't it be cool to document the cost of everyday things and watch them reduce over time.

I'm sure someone has already done this

This whole process has really surprised me, but it’s good news, so excited to share!

In the summer of 2023, the Human Rights Foundation (HRF) launched a Bitcoin Bounty program aimed at funding software developers to create new tools and features for Bitcoin tailored to the needs of dissidents and human rights advocates challenging authoritarianism worldwide. These bounties ranged from UX improvements to privacy upgrades and open-sourcing closed and permissioned systems.

There were 11 bounties in total, each with specific objectives. The deadline was Dec. 31, 2024.

We are excited to announce that every single bounty was claimed and that the resulting tools and upgrades are now empowering human rights activists daily across popular apps such as Blue Wallet, Zeus, Stack Wallet, Iris, Coracle, Keeper, Bull Bitcoin, Cake Wallet, and more.

This program highlights the impact of collaboration between human rights activists and software developers to create better tools for freedom. HRF is proud to have played a role in this effort and looks forward to continuing similar programs in the future. Special credit goes to the Oslo Freedom Forum, where much of the critical interaction between developers and activists occurred.

This wave of bounties was inspired by a successful pilot project in 2021, executed in partnership with Strike and Jack Mallers, which supported developers like Will Cassarin and Calle. Their innovations later gave rise to important advancements such as zaps in Nostr and the Cashu ecash protocol.

We learned a lot through this process and look forward to doing similar things in the future.

There’s so so much to be gained from mixing political dissidents with developers!

This reads like a flourishing space with amazing possibilities, drawing more talent in and creating greatness

So listened to nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m and nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx pod earlier, loved it.

A chess client built on #Nostr with zaps

Set a bounty, perhaps integration of #cashu with a prize mint.

Possibilities

luckily I'm 'PERMITTED' to use #Nostr

Hi folks we've been experiencing some disruptions over the past couple days as we've been working to mitigate against an attacker who found and exploited a vulnerability in our system that allowed them to get password reset codes for accounts that didn't belong to them.

Using this exploit they were able to gain access to a number of accounts that they shouldn't have had access to and withdraw funds.

We've patched the issue and believe we've revoked the attacker's access to the compromised accounts by invalidating their JWT authentication tokens and NWC secrets.

We've instituted system-wide withdrawal limits as a precautionary measure while we work to fully restore and migrate the payment records of affected accounts.

If you are seeing a blank screen when you visit the Coinos site, you may need to visit https://coinos.io/logout or clear your browser cache. If you have Coinos installed as a PWA you may need to uninstall it and re-add it to your homescreen.

About 80 accounts had their passwords reset by the attacker but only a handful were actively stolen from. If your account was compromised you may be missing some recent transactions. We do have backups and will be writing scripts to find and restore those payment records over the coming days.

If you were using Coinos via NWC your NWC connection string secret may have changed in which case you will need to re-connect Coinos to your Nostr apps.

We'll be reverting unsolicited withdrawals and covering all losses ourselves to make all our users whole. Thankfully we caught the attack relatively quickly and managed to take corrective action before the attacker had time to fully drain our wallets.

Coinos is essentially a volunteer effort and one-man show on the tech front so please be patient as it's going to take me a few days to restore everything back to normal.

This incident has not shaken my resolve, only strengthened it.

Sincerely,

Adam Soltys

cautionary tale but if you only keep a small amount of sats, it's a tradeoff between security and laziness.
