Share this article

Bitcoin is a grassroots movement, taking hold in all parts of the world, and as it begins to sink into the minds of those looking for a better form of money, it attracts people with different views, skills and motivations. Despite these differences in culture, language, in economic realities, we all agree on one thing, bitcoin is money, and it will remain immutable.

You don’t change bitcoin, bitcoin changes you, and as the orange pill begins to convert more people into believers, they begin to adopt the bitcoin culture. Bitcoiners not only have their own money, but they have their own language, their own inside jokes, and of course, bitcoin-native businesses springing up all over the planet. By having more businesses accept bitcoin for goods and services, it makes it easier for bitcoiners to realise the value they’ve been saving without the need to convert it back into filthy fiat.

By supporting bitcoin businesses, you not only encourage bitcoiners to create more economic value, but you support the circular economy and distribute sats to those willing to put in proof of work and push the bitcoin message around the world.

All aboard the BBC

Bitcoiners have a woeful reputation for being terrible sailors, unfairly plagued by all manner of unfortunate accidents. The Bad Boating Club seeks to comfort its members with small tokens of reassurance: reminders that while you might be a crap sailor, you’re probably doing something else right.

If you’re scratching your head wondering what boats have to do with bitcoin, you’re probably not deep down the rabbit hole yet and the plebs that orange pilled you need to give you a course in bitcoin boating. So for those who are not too familiar with the constant stream of satoshis being lost at sea, then let Michael Saylor give you the rundown of this very real problem bitcoiners are facing when you take on the personal responsibility to custody your funds in the hardest money ever created.

Bitcoiners aren’t good sailors or Saylors? See what I did there?
