#Bitcoin makes sense for the 1.8 Billion Muslims around the world
In our opinion it’s the most Islamic thing you can do with your wealth

Time for a thread 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

1) You might not know this about Muslims but it is against our religious teachings to use interest. It was made very clear when Prophet Mohamed PBUH gave his final sermon to the people in Mecca where he said,

2) “God has forbidden you to take interest, therefore all interest obligation shall henceforth be waived. Your capital, however, is yours to keep. You will neither inflict nor suffer any inequity”

3) All Muslims know this, however we have been faced with the reality that the whole world runs on a debt economy. If you choose to stick by your principles and you never take on any debt. You will end up poor and weak through inflation. Many have gone this route.

4) The other option is forgetting your principles and embracing the debt economy just so you can accomplish your life’s goals and aspirations. Most muslims that we know choose this route because we want to contribute & be meaningful members in our communities.

5) #Bitcoin is a money and a way of life where muslims don’t have to ignore their principles or end up poor and weak.

6) If you think about what Mohamed PBUH said “You will neither inflict nor suffer any inequity” It doesn’t make sense with current currencies because they lose their buying power at a 10-15% per year rate and some currencies even more
(Venezuela, Lebanon, Egypt, Turkey)

7) However it makes total sense if you are using sound money as your unit of account. The concept of money is meant to be fixed. And if you are adopting a sound money standard you wouldn’t need to use debt or interest because the value of your money will go up over time

8) What most people consider money right now isn’t fixed. In fact the concept & reality of money have strayed away from each other over centuries. And to add more money to the system right now is as simple as hitting ctrl+p
But what about alternative assets?

9) Gold will continue to be mined and humans will probably get better at it
Stocks can be issued in a 30 mins board room meeting
Real Estate will continue to develop also at an increasing rate.

10) In the first time in history humans have actually invented a money that is not just scarce but absolutely scarce making it the soundest of all monies
And that is #Bitcoin

11) For that reason #Bitcoin acts as an arc that will float on top of all debt issued & fiat (currencies) printing
Not to mention the future productivity of the planet.
Making it the perfect Savings Technology

12) The fact that #Bitcoin is not backed or enforced by any government is not a weakness but it’s greatest strength. No one person, group, company or country has any power to mess with its supply (your wealth)

13) #Bitcoin is also digital & borderless. Giving you full freedom to participate in the global economy & move your money across space without any bank or government permission (try moving wealth out of Lebanon now)

14) The #Bitcoin network is protected by the largest computer network in history and has never been hacked. People and exchanges have been hacked.
Learn how to secure it in cold storage (offline) and you will be fine. DYR

15) #Bitcoin is a solution not just to the 1.8 billion Muslims around the world but to all of humanity as an instrument for economic empowerment.
However just from a Muslim point of view, it aligns with our core beliefs & principles about what money is and should be

16) We’ve learnt all of this in 2020, before that we had no idea what money really is. Now we are on a #Bitcoin Standard. We hope that you just ask yourself this question over and over
What is money?
