We are excited to announce the first grant awarded by The Progressive Bitcoiner 🎉

After a rigorous review & application process, our selection committee has chosen Bitcoinchama (nprofile…s58h) with an award of 1,000,000 sats

Bitcoin Chama is a rural-based Bitcoin community dedicated to building a self-reliant Bitcoin ecosystem in rural Kenya by empowering youths through different projects. Bitcoin Chama consists of chamas (clans) that collectively own and operate the projects.

They are bringing bitcoin payments to their community using feature phones thanks to Machankura wallet. This allows any member of the community, regardless of literacy or tech-savviness, to send, receive, and save Bitcoin without an internet connection

TPB grant funding is helping support Bitcoinchama (nprofile…s58h) in the following ways:

• Expand agricultural production
• Onboard new local merchants
• Run hands-on Bitcoin education days
• Document a model others can replicate

To learn more check out Bitcoin Chama at bitcoinchama.com

To contribute to our grant fund, with distributions handled by our select committee and rigorous process focused on social good, research, and community grants, donate at our website today: https://progressivebitcoiner.org/donate/

What if a Bitcoin-backed bond could save Social Security? 🤔

BitBonds, (s/o Matthew Pines and Andrew Hohns from the Bitcoin Policy Institute) might be the most progressive fiscal tool yet — and they could reshape how we fund the future.

"Basic income is not left or right. It's forward." - Scott Santens

My guest today is Scott Santens, with special guest co-host and friend of the pod Margot Paez. Scott is a leading Universal Basic Income (UBI) advocate and has been researching the subject since 2013. He is also the President and Founder of the Income to Support All (ITSA) Foundation which supports ambitious projects that help realize a foundation of unconditional universal basic income through research, storytelling, and implementation. In this episode we discuss Universal Basic Income's potential to address poverty, inequality, and the future of work. Santens explains how UBI can empower individuals, boost entrepreneurship, and create a more voluntary labor market, while addressing misconceptions and basic facts of what UBI is. We also explore the intersection of UBI and Bitcoin, with particular focus on renewable bitcoin mining projects and community benefits.

2024-03-23T12:26:58Z

🚨 EU TAKES MASSIVE SURVEILLANCE STEP FORWARD ON CRYPTO TRANSACTIONS UNDER THE GUISE OF STANDARD INDUSTRY PROTOCOL 🚨

“On Thursday, MEPs approved with 529 votes in favour to 29 against and 14 abstentions, the first piece of EU legislation for tracing transfers of crypto-assets like bitcoins and electronic money tokens. The text –which was provisionally agreed by Parliament and Council negotiators in June 2022- aims to ensure that crypto transfers, as is the case with any other financial operation, can always be traced and suspicious transactions blocked. The so-called “travel rule”, already used in traditional finance, will in future cover transfers of crypto assets. Information on the source of the asset and its beneficiary will have to “travel” with the transaction and be stored on both sides of the transfer.”

Particularly concerning language: “…aims to ensure that crypto transfers, as is the case with any other financial operation, can always be traced and suspicious transactions blocked.”

However, the rule also goes on to say, “The rules do not apply to person-to-person transfers conducted without a provider or among providers acting on their own behalf.”

I will continue to research and consult with lyuda_kozlovska (npub13aj…2yd9) and others keeping a close eye on this and write a more thorough newsletter response on this. While this seems to specifically target the industry, at least for now it seems this rule DOES NOT apply to a self-hosted to self-hosted, peer-to-peer transaction.

Take self-custody of your bitcoin folks!

Potential #BitcoinETF week? Let's not lose focus. #Bitcoin isn't about enriching the Larry Finks of the world. It's about people who need better money, that can't be manipulated by the state or corruptible Wall Street powers, having access to better money. Tune in tomorrow for my conversation with jyn_urso (npub12lz…ntw2)
on this, human rights, direct action, Gaza, bitcoin mining, and more.

Catch my latest mega conversation with Ben Arc (npub1c87…8avm) and rabble (npub1wmr…g240)

quoting note1mvd…gsk7
Happy Halloween and #Bitcoin Whitepaper Day! TPB59 - Nostr: The Everything App of Freedom with Ben Arc (npub1c87…8avm) and rabble (npub1wmr…g240) is out now.

"The history of social change shows us that it's not fear that leads to better situations. It's Hope." - Rabble

Ben Arc is a FOSS (free and open source software) hobbyist and activist, founder of LNbits, bitcoin/lightning software and hardware builder, and creator of one of the first twitter clones utilizing the nostr protocol. Evan “Rabble” Henshaw-Plath is a social media pioneer, Jack Dorsey's former boss at Odeo (where they worked together on code that would become what we now know as twitter/x), and and creator of Nos social, a nostr client. In this episode we discuss all things social media and how Bitcoin-inspired tech like Nostr aims to reinvent social media as an open ecosystem beyond the control of big tech gatekeepers. Beyond social media and bitcoin, we discuss culture, how we interact with one another in this rapidly evolving and information intensive world, and hope we have for social change. It's such a pleasure to sit with two technology/social media pioneers like Ben and Rabble and hear their reflections on the world and a possible path forward.

WHAT I POSTED FOR NORMIES AS WELL ON OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA SITES:
Nostr, which stands for Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays is an open source protocol that is bringing decentralized social media with user control to the forefront in an age where we've grown all too comfortable with corporate, restrictive, centralized entities controlling our social media. There are many nostr apps, such as Damus for iOS that will look familiar to you, as a twitter-like clone, for a great social media experience with some added bonuses like the ability to "zap" (send bitcoin right through a post or profile). Progressives may find nostr to be an interesting tool that is censorship resistant, a great social network for activists, allows content creators to be in control, and is not fueled by hate algorithms perpetuated on social sites like Twitter. For the month of November we will be sharing more about nostr, calling this #NostrNovember, to grow nostr's user base.

2023-10-17T15:43:59Z

“If you’re only speaking to Republicans, you can have problems from the left as it comes to bitcoin due to them not understanding it or being hostile towards it. Whereas if you have a part of the progressive side that understands and appreciates bitcoin, that’s now like somewhat of a bipartisan defense for the network.”

- LynAlden (npub1a2c…w83a), TPB57 - What the Left Should Know About Money out now 🔥👇

quoting note1pxr…62z8
TPB57 - What the Left Should Know About Money with LynAlden (npub1a2c…w83a) is out now. Lyn is a macroeconomist, author, and founder of Lyn Alden Investment Strategy.

Far from a niche libertarian curiosity, Lyn compellingly frames bitcoin as aligning with progressive values of financial inclusion, human rights, environmental sustainability and transparency. By tracing the evolution of monetary systems, she builds a thoughtful bipartisan case for why progressives should reconsider biases against this new form of "hard money."

In this conversation we discuss her new book Broken Money, which I think is one of the best books for low and working class people that exposes our current broken money and global financial system which benefits wealthy elite at the expense of every day people. We analyze global financial systems, the need for financial inclusion, Bitcoin's opt-out properties, and how Bitcoin transcends traditional partisan divisions. Lyn makes a compelling yet nonpartisan case for why those on the left concerned with human rights, the environment, and social equity should take a fresh look at Bitcoin's possibilities.

My hope is that this conversation will help folks from the left gain a better understanding of money, our global financial system, and yearn to learn more by reading Lyn's book and other resources about how we can actually help people the way our values and social programs desire to. We can't being to fix the world until we fix the money.
