What we love most about communities is how they take action to solve their problems. And as @Modibe_ said in the Fedi Community Chat episode with Bright of @bitspenda, builders in these communities don’t wait for institutions to come and solve their problems. They build tools to tackle them. Click the link in the thread to learn how Bright solved the problem he identified in his community and went on to build Bitspenda.

For as long as many Bitcoiners can remember, self-custody has been the ideal: hold your own keys, and no company can freeze or seize your money. But it puts every risk on you. One lost seed phrase, and it's gone for good. There's a third option, between doing it all yourself and trusting an exchange, where no single person or outside company can access or control your bitcoin. It's called community custody. We wrote an article about community custody and how it works. Link to the article is in the thread. 👇

Engineers obsess about "Function" Non-engineers obsess about "Experience + Aesthetics" the ideal spot for Pre-PMF is the point where "function + experience" co-exist... Aesthetics is a nice-to-have when customers get reliable and convenient service from your product.

"not everyone has the luxury of an extra 10,000 hours to study bitcoin. Most people just need simple tools to move value." –@waithiraah Talking about the practical use case of bitcoin for everyday people, beyond just the hardcore bitcoiners.

Today at @TheBitcoinConf, @MARA CEO @fgthiel announced the launch of MARA Foundation. The MARA Foundation represents MARA’s strategic commitment to supporting the health of the Bitcoin network, outside of our responsibilities as miners alone. We believe Bitcoin embodies the most powerful tool for financial sovereignty, economic resilience, and human freedom in the world. As such, we commit ourselves to: - Protecting the core properties that make Bitcoin sound, durable money, and - Advocating for the free and fair use of this technology for 8 billion people around the world We humbly devote ourselves to the following pursuits: - Ensure Bitcoin’s ongoing security budget—and, in particular, support the development of a robust and healthy fee market for Bitcoin transactions. - Harden Bitcoin against potential security threats—including, but not limited to, those posed by advancements in quantum computing. - Expand access to self-custodial Bitcoin and support those using Bitcoin in the pursuit of financial sovereignty. - Support the free and open-source development of Bitcoin technologies—including but not limited to scaling, mining, and critical user infrastructure. Additionally, we intend to develop educational resources and initiatives to inform Bitcoin users and builders alike—including, but not limited to: - Technical and developer education - Multi-lingual Bitcoin education - Advocacy for financial freedom technologies - Education for policy makers and activists Moving forward, we’ll be using this account to share critical research, educational content, and diverse points of view by leaders throughout the space.
