« I can't buy coffee with…

« I can't buy coffee with Bitcoin »
Maybe... But look at it follow the script:

Bitcoin isn't failing as money.

It isn’t trying to (and can't) “replace the dollar overnight.”

It’s going through the same monetization path that gold, silver and other non-fiat monies went through.

🔸 First: it’s a collectible. A curiosity. Held by cypherpunks and early tech circles.

🔸 Then: it becomes a store of value.

A hedge against broken currencies.
A savings tool in fragile economies.
A way to exit the noise and hold something finite.

🔸 With time and liquidity: it matures into a medium of exchange.

We're already seeing this with Lightning adoption across Africa and #LATAM.

Remittances.
Merchant use.
Micro-payments.

🔸Eventually: it can serve as a unit of account.

That’s the last mile. And the hardest.
It means people think in sats, not dollars.
Meaning a coffee would, in your mind, cost 1500 Sats, not $6.

This doesn’t happen through press releases or politics.
It happens organically, driven by utility and necessity.

Trying to rush #Bitcoin into the final phase before it completes the first ones is a big mistake and irrational expectation.

Most people get frustrated that it’s “not money yet.”
That’s like judging a teenager for not being a CEO.

Let it grow.

We’re watching a monetary revolution unfold in real time and we’re somewhere between Stage 2 and 3.

(Depending on where you are in the world)

In the #MiddleEast and #Africa?
That curve is bending faster than most realize.

P.S: What stage do you think we're in, globally or locally?

Curious to hear where your region sits on this curve #nostr!

“What’s happening in Africa?”

“What’s happening in Africa?”
They keep asking. Here’s the answer;

This newly updated #Bitcoin companies infographic maps the unstoppable monetization of resistance across the continent for Q2-2025.

If you’re on #Nostr and not watching #Africa, you’re missing the signal.

“Banned." Overnight.

“Banned." Overnight.

That’s how fast the rules flipped in Nigeria and Angola.

One day, Bitcoin was just another asset.
The next, it was a liability (Even a crime).

In #Nigeria, the Central Bank’s 2021 order severed crypto’s ties to the banking system (shutting down exchanges, freezing accounts, and driving the entire industry underground. Three years later, the ban was lifted) but only after lawmakers reclassified crypto as a regulated security, with strict licensing and oversight.

In #Angola, lawmakers took a harder line. In April 2024, they criminalized #bitcoin mining. Penalty? Up to 12 years in prison. The official excuse: miners were draining the national grid, leaving homes in the dark while rigs chased digital gold. The real trigger: A major foreign-run operation that smuggled in rigs without paying customs, racked up unpaid electricity bills by siphoning public power, and stiffed its workers. When authorities finally raided the site (hidden inside a paint factory)they found foreign nationals, labor violations, and enough outrage to justify a sweeping crackdown.

Different countries. Same warning.

If you’re building in regions where the rules can flip overnight, you need more than optimism.

You need a plan.

→ Diversify custody across regulator-resistant jurisdictions, before the storm, not after.
→ Mine in energy-stable, rule-of-law regions like the Gulf or North America, with remote oversight.
→ Build legal structures that can pivot: from holding, to pledging, to exiting, whatever tomorrow demands.

I’ve seen capital stranded, operations shuttered, and founders blindsided, not by markets, but by ministers.

Regulation is like the weather.
You can’t control it.
But you can control where you build.

In the #MiddleEast and #Africa, this isn’t theory.
It’s survival.

The smart money adapts. The rest get washed away.

Ask yourself: are you ready for the next regulatory storm?

P.S. #Nostr the meme’s about the #EU. This post is not.
