Happy 16th Birthday to Bitcoin!
Finally old enough to drive 🏎️
On January 3 2009, the first bitcoin block was created by Satoshi Nakamoto
Today thousands of people around the world work to make the next block
And here in Harlem, our goal is to have more bitcoin on our blocks!

Happy New Year to our Harlem #Bitcoin Community and beyond!

Yes, and Zeus is only needed as a backup since there’s an Alby Lightning address.

No, most custodians don’t operate here because of the restrictions, but anyone can use a self-custodial Lightning node. It’s always been legal to accept bitcoin for products and services.

This was done using Alby Hub on a cloud hosted node (built with LDK) with a getalby.com Lightning address and Zeus wallet as a backup.

Real money is backed by electricity and encryption, and not fiat promises or fiat threats.
Encryption is a powerful function that all computers can perform to secure and scramble data.
Bitcoin is the most secure and encrypted network on 🗺️ = A vault within a trillion vaults.
