Tribe Vibe - The Crash Edition

Aug 07, 2024

Hello Tribe Vibers!
At the time of writing the market is tanking. All crypto currencies including bitcoin are down. Bitcoin maximalists will take this as a “buy” signal. What is certain is that the fiat ponzi scheme (that would be your regular government/central bank printed currencies) is imploding. Plan accordingly.

🎓 Bitcoin 101: Proton Wallet

Proton, creators of private email service “Proton Mail” have created a bitcoin wallet. Making “private money” a part of their suite of products seems like a coherent move and we are excited to test it out. You can watch a full training session on the wallet below, with Canadian educator BTC Sessions:

📈 Trending Topics in the News

1. Stock Markets

The Scoop🕵️‍♂️: At the time of writing the Nikkei 225 saw its largest ever drop. Markets opened on Monday to plummeting stocks and crypto currencies and Warren Buffet liquidated many of his holdings including Apple stock.
Why you should care🚨: If you are a seasoned bitcoiner, these events will not have come as a surprise, and you have likely been preparing for some time in the knowledge that it was not “if”, but “when”. However, for the public at large, and the “modern monetary theory” faithful, a large shock is about to take place.
What does this have to do with bitcoin? 🪙: Bitcoin is the hardest money we have, decoupled from fiat currencies and outside of the control of the institutions that are systematically debasing fiat currencies (governments, central banks and commercial banks via loans). If you have not yet taken the time to study bitcoin, now would be a very good time to start.

2. Why Japan’s Massive Monetary Experiment Failed

The Scoop🕵️‍♂️: If you are wondering why Japan was the domino that kicked off this fiat collapse, film maker Max De Marco in collaboration with James Lavish and Preston Pysh has put together a documentary explaining why Japan’s policies have failed.
Why you should care🚨: In order to plan for yourself and your family effectively, it is important to understand what is happening in the global financial system and how you can decouple from it.

🚀 Founders - Freespoke Search

Are you tired of being spied on?
Freespoke Search is a new search engine that allows you to search the web privately and receive unbiased results.

In the wake of the recent ruling by a federal judge that “Google is an illegal monopoly and violated anti-trust laws”, a private search engine that doesn’t impose its politics on you, seems like a very good thing. Here is what the company says about itself:

”At Freespoke, we’re about authenticity rather than agendas.
We’ve grown accustomed to invasive tech companies collecting every bit of data they can and immediately selling it to the highest bidder. Freespoke is different. Respect for your privacy is built into every decision we make. We do everything possible to NOT know anything about you. We believe the things you search for are your business, and so all your searches are 100% anonymous. And they always will be.”

💼 Women in Bitcoin

Next week we will be attending Canada’s largest Web3 event, the “Blockchain Futurist Conference” at the Rebel nightclub in Toronto. The event will play host to several women’s meet ups. We look forward to meeting you there!

👩‍👧‍👦 Bitcoin for Kids

Tuttle Twins, makers of the cartoon series, are creating a card game to teach children about inflation. We hope this contributes to greater financial literacy in future generations!

Must-Listen Podcast: 🎧

The team at What Bitcoin Did announced that they would be ending their podcast series to focus on work in Bedford, England, the home of founder Peter McCormack. The podcast series is one of our favourites, so we were super sad to hear this. To commemorate the occasion we wanted to highlight one of our favourite episodes ever from October 2023 with analyst Lyn Alden and anthropologist Natalie Smolenski:
