Happy holidays! The Government of El Salvador now holds 5,996.77 more Bitcoin (BTC) than the Government of Canada. 🇸🇻🇨🇦
Yes, and far more than just those. See https://bitcointreasuries.net/
Another publicly-traded Canadian company, Matador Technologies Inc $MATA, is amassing a Strategic #Bitcoin Reserve (SBR). It’s great to see more Canadian companies like Matador following the MicroStrategy $MSTR and nostr:npub12ym4gud920vsfrudtuey6xc99aamgxtemfg056sgxgd855u93vpq7m2gc5 playbook, setting up an SBR to strengthen their business and Canada’s economic outlook. 🇨🇦
Our monthly e-bulletin "TwentyOne" is out today (a day early). This month, we focus on Bitcoin and Human Rights. We hope you will read and share it.
Our deepest gratitude to all courageous defenders of human rights around the world.

Today we launched our new monthly educational e-blast "TwentyOne", distributed on the 21st of each month. The e-blast is distributed to all Canadian Members of Parliament, Senators, federal political party officials, a wide range of provincial policymakers, and a broad, public stakeholder list. This month, we focus on Bitcoin Strategic Reserves. Please share it with your networks! #Bitcoin #BTC #cdnpoli

Thank you, Neal!
Given that the incoming U.S. President, Vice President and Republican-led House and Senate are all aligned on implementation of a #Bitcoin Strategic Reserve for the U.S., it is imperative that the Government of Canada act fast in developing Canada’s #BTC Strategic Reserve plan.
This is not hypothetical. Legislation to establish a U.S. Bitcoin Strategic Reserve has already been tabled in Congress by Senator Cynthia Lummis (R - Wyoming) and will likely be fast-tracked in the next session of Congress, pending re-draft and/or amendments.

The lead of the United States in establishing a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve for the U.S., following the lead of #ElSalbador, will set in motion a race among countries globally to ensure a national store of #BTC, much like countries have historically stored reserves of gold. Canada must not get left behind.
The Canadian Government and all political parties must accelerate development of Canada’s #Bitcoin Strategic Reserve plan and supportive federal policy that will make Canada one of the best countries for adoption and use of Bitcoin.
For more reading and insight on the importance of a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve, please see this excellent research report developed in the U.S. by our colleagues at nostr:npub1978t0ppn7wc4akp8knsjhqyed3d776xptn7qvkuaf3nrj4qu32vqg28wxa a multi-disciplinary U.S. research and policy institute.

Happy #BitcoinWhitePaperDay! It was a very positive step forward for #Bitcoin education in Canada on this day, last year, when Canadian Member of Parliament, Joel Lightbound (a member of the governing Liberal Party, no less) made these remarks in Parliament. A small step forward. Our work continues.

We took the opportunity to remind Canadian MPs of the inspiring remarks provided in Parliament on October 31, 2023 by MP Joel Lightbound regarding the important uses and role of #Bitcoin globally. https://youtu.be/MyjKwgtb7cM

As we near #BitcoinWhitePaperDay, we were honoured today to *officially* introduce Canadian Members of Parliament to nostr:npub1j46na8czzv909c6zr7charcr63zuxd2d7jw3jjfy9j33d72c0aksgxdffy. We look forward to actively engaging MPs and staff from all federal political parties over the months ahead, helping them better understand the diverse social, economic and environmental benefits of #Bitcoin #BTC.
nostr:npub1rxysxnjkhrmqd3ey73dp9n5y5yvyzcs64acc9g0k2epcpwwyya4spvhnp8 is one of Canada’s greatest exports, yet still not counted in our GDP figures. Thanks for all you do, Ben! 🇨🇦🧡

We want to make sure we’re connected to as many Canadians on #nostr as possible. If we’re not following you, please let us know. We appreciate your follows as well, to help expand visibility and reach for the #Bitcoin mission in Canada. Thanks!
Everything continues to become less expensive over time when measured in #Bitcoin #BTC. Protect your future, accelerate your goals. Save in Bitcoin. Study Bitcoin.

#cdnecon #FIRE #investing
A new, peer-reviewed study by University of Toronto researcher and behavioural scientist, Stefano Di Domenico PhD, finds that people who own #Bitcoin tend to:
📈 score very high in financial literacy
🧡 be intellectually curious, and emotionally stable
🌎 value personal growth, relationships, community
The new study will be published soon: https://osf.io/yntdu
Instead, dear Canadian investor, ask yourself "does Edward Jones help?". Another case of financial advisors blocking their fee-paying customers from benefitting from #Bitcoin #BTC -- the best performing asset of the past15 years.

Everything is getting less expensive over time when measured in #BTC. The cost of housing in Canada has been continuously outpacing the growth in income. However, savings placed in #Bitcoin are a cheat code for saving and increasing purchasing power. What are your 4-plus year financial goals? Bitcoin should be a key part of your strategy! #cdnpoli #cdnecon
#Bitcoin #BTC is revolutionizing global remittances. Faster, cheaper, safer, more accessible.

…and so so many more!
The Government of Kenya gets it!
https://x.com/marathondh/status/1794026499743568037?s=46&t=wq0GoOCdXxA5DblxlsJJng
The Governments of Ethiopia, Paraguay, El Salvador and other governments are getting it too. Kudos to them all! So why haven't Canada's federal, provincial and municipal govts gotten it yet?
Across #Canada, abundant energy sources (hydro, wind, escaped methane, flared gas) are going unused. We are squandering the opportunity to increase renewable energy, stabilize grids, and boost our economy.
By not harnessing and mitigating escaped methane (eg, landfills) and flared gas (eg, oil fields) we are also squandering our chance to take more immediate and meaningful #climateaction.
The missing ingredient for all of this is an energy demand source that can:
a. purchase energy and monetize generation
b. turn on/off, on-demand (intermittent demand)
c. locate anywhere
The thing is, for the first time in history we have this ingredient! #Bitcoin data centres (often referred to as mining centres) meet all of the requirements.
That's why governments and partners around the world are turning to #Bitcoin data/mining centres as triple bottom line solutions: fix energy, tackle climate change, boost the economy.
Canada has abundant space and natural resources. We can leverage these in service of our climate action goals AND create new jobs, bolster our energy grids, and boost our economy.
Harnessing the unprecedented triple bottom line benefits of #Bitcoin data/mining centres is a conversation that must be prioritized by all levels of government in Canada.
The additional benefit of harnessing #Bitcoin data/mining centres for Canada is that this also contributes to a global network that is advancing financial inclusion, human rights, and climate action globally.
