Like salons and coffeehouses during the Enlightenment, local #Bitcoin meet-ups around the world today bring people together for learning and discussion about one of the defining features of our current age: Bitcoin, the technology, the network, and the money (#BTC). Connect with a local Bitcoin meet-up across Canada: https://bitcoincoalition.ca/local-meet-ups-%26-groups

All Canadians need access to a local meet-up. If you are willing to play a role, we can help! 🙏🧡
This year’s Canadian Bitcoin Conference was a huge success. It was encouraging to see not only an expanded conference program addressing a wide array of #Bitcoin topics, but to see so many people coming together from across Canada and the U.S. These Can-Am connections are so important!

Wonderful to hear positive remarks from Canadian Member of Parliament, Joel Lightbound, at the Canadian Bitcoin Conference today in Montreal. “I believe everyone should study #Bitcoin, learn what it is and how it works. It is here, it is not going anywhere, and I believe is has many positive advantages”. #cdnpoli

#Bitcoin #BTC is money.
#Bitcoin is for everyone, everywhere.
#Bitcoin is for progressives & conservatives.
#Bitcoin is for carnivores & vegans.
#Bitcoin is for YOU.
We’re officially less than 200 blocks away from the #BitcoinHalving! You tuned in for the solar eclipse, you take an interest in Bank of Canada interest rate announcements, you tune in for the Olympics. If you don’t already know, then take some time to learn why you should care about this rare #Bitcoin event.
We’re just 325 blocks away from the #Bitcoin halving. The countdown is really heating up. Tick tock!
⏰ We're now just ~4 days away from one of the most significant global economic and human development events of 2024: the #BitcoinHalving.
The Bitcoin halving takes place every ~4 years, programmed to occur every 210,000 blocks of #BTC that are "hashed" via the #Bitcoin network. The next halving (the 4th since Bitcoin's launch in 2009) will occur at block 840,000. We are now just over 600 blocks away.
The #BitcoinHalving occurs roughly (not precisely) every 4 yrs. Why? Because it takes roughly that long for 210,000 blocks of #BTC to be hashed. That frequency is calibrated by another function of the #Bitcoin open-source software/protocol called the "difficulty adjustment".
So why is the #Bitcoin halving such a big deal? What's so important about THIS halving? At each halving, the supply of new #BTC rewarded per block gets cut by 50%. Among other things, BTC officially becomes more scarce and a harder money/asset than #gold as of this halving.
#Bitcoin #BTC is gradually replacing #gold as a store of value and a currency for day-to-day living around the world. This is bringing greater human flourishing globally and reducing our harsh impact on the environment. The #BitcoinHalving accelerates this positive process!
When we reach #Bitcoin block 840,000 on ~Apr 19th, 93.75% of the #BTC that will EVER exist will have been mined and in circulation. The remaining 6.25% will be released into supply gradually until the year 2140. BTC is programmed to gain value and purchasing power over time.
#Bitcoin is the world's largest, decentralized computing network & open-source software. The global money that is produced & transacted over this network (#BTC) has a fixed total supply (21 Million) and a fixed issuance supply/schedule. BTC is money with "rules, not rulers”.
UPDATE 4/14/2024
We’re now less than 750 blocks from the #BitcoinHalving which now looks as though it will take late at night on April 19, for those of us in the Western Hemisphere. Study #Bitcoin and learn why you should join this global movement for better money (#BTC) and a better world! #cdnecon #cdnpoli
Hello #Nostr and #Bitcoin world. We hope you will follow us, the Bitcoin Coalition of Canada. We’re on a mission to make Canada one of the best places in the world for Bitcoin and Bitcoiners. It’s a journey, but we have cause for hope. We appreciate your support in the way of a follow and helping us raise visibility. 🙏🇨🇦
We're about 8 days away from one of the most significant global economic and development events of 2024: the #BitcoinHalving.
The Bitcoin halving takes place every ~4 years, programmed to occur every 210,000 blocks of #BTC that are "mined" via the #Bitcoin network. The next halving (the 4th since Bitcoin's launch in 2009) will occur at block 840,000 which will be reached on April 19 or 20.
It occurs roughly (not precisely) every 4 years. Why? Because it takes roughly that long for 210,000 blocks of #BTC to be mined. That frequency is calibrated by another function of the #Bitcoin open-source software/protocol called the "difficulty adjustment".
So why is the #Bitcoin halving such a big deal and what's so important about THIS halving?
At each halving, the supply of new #BTC rewarded per block gets cut by 50%. This time, at block 840,000 BTC officially becomes more scarce and a harder money/asset than #gold.
Right now, #Bitcoin has a slightly higher "stock-to-flow" than gold (ie, current supply in circulation divided by new supply). However, unlike gold whose supply increases steadily over time, the supply of new #BTC is programmed to DECREASE over time (by 50% at each halving).
When we reach #Bitcoin block 840,000 next week, 93.75% of the #BTC that will EVER exist will have been mined and in circulation. The remaining 6.25% will be released into supply gradually until the year 2140. BTC is programmed to gain value and purchasing power over time.
#Bitcoin is the world's largest, decentralized computing network & open-source software. The global money that is produced & transacted over this network (#BTC) has a fixed total supply (21 Million) and a fixed issuance supply/schedule. BTC is money with "rules, not rulers".
Yeah, but #Bitcoin doesn't really have any use cases, right? WRONG. Around the world #BTC is fast becoming a preferred tool and form of money for every day use.
