🎓 Bitcoin 101:
📈 Trending News
1. Javier Milei…not so great
The Scoop🕵️♂️: A year into Javier Milei’s Presidency, economist Saifedean Ammous slays Milei’s supposed revolutionary reign. While Milei has slashed the budget deficit, he has in fact increased the money supply significantly, which will eventually drive more inflation.
”In the four years of 2020-2023, Argentina’s money supply measures grew at a compound annual growth rate of: M0: 50%, M1: 77%, M2: 90%, M3: 86%”
After claiming that shutting down the central bank was “non-negotiable”…the central bank is still in operation.Why You Should Care🚨: In yet another tale of media hype vs reality, those who suspected that Milei’s Libertarian rhetoric was…rhetoric rather than substance, have unfortunately been proven right.
What This Means for Bitcoin ✨: It means that you should learn and repeat the Bitcoin refrain “Don’t Trust, Verify” each and every day, and apply to it to everything you are told.
2. U.S. to Sell its Bitcoin
The Scoop🕵️♂️: December 30th 2024: “The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) recently obtained judicial authorization to sell 69,370 Bitcoins, valued at an estimated $6.5 billion, which had been seized as part of the investigation into the Silk Road black market.” In a suicidal move, likely enacted to spite the incoming administration, the outgoing U.S. administration is attempting to outdo the recent stupidity of the German govt who sold off a large amount of Bitcoin.
Why You Should Care🚨: If this causes the price to dip, you should probably consider front-running the incoming administration, who are sure to buy it back.
What This Means for Bitcoin ✨: It likely means a price dip, rapidly followed by buyers looking for cheap sats flooding the market. Keep those pennies to hand! You may want to deploy them soon.

Why Bitcoin is Halal: Islamic Finance in the Digital Age - January 23rd 12:00-13:00 (in-person, FREE event!)
Join us for an exploration of how Bitcoin aligns with the principles of Islamic finance (and Christianity as it happens!). This talk unpacks the inefficiencies and ethical challenges of the fiat monetary system, highlighting its reliance on debt and riba (interest), which Islam strictly prohibits. Discover how Bitcoin, with its decentralized and transparent framework, offers an ethical alternative that promotes financial fairness, accountability, and empowerment—values deeply rooted in the teachings of the Qur’an.
Whether you’re curious about modern Islamic finance, passionate about ethical innovation, or intrigued by Bitcoin’s transformative potential, this event will inspire and inform, unveiling bridges between tradition and technology.
