A #Bitcoin  empire is forming but it’s unlike any other empire we’ve seen before. It will rival the western and eastern empires and become a superpower of its own.
Here’s a thread on the past, present and future of this empire. 🧵 Every empire starts with a leader. For us that is Satoshi, a pseudonymous leader that built the bitcoin protocol and then disappeared into cyberspace. Already this is very different than all current & previous Empires

Ever since our company bought #Bitcoin👇🏽 we went from irresponsible to geniuses back to irresponsible entrepreneurs simply because of #Bitcoin price action. Over the last 6 month we’ve kept our heads down and focused on growing our business.

Majority of the 1.8 Billion Muslims around the world are living their whole lives in Sin and they don't even know it. The obvious solution for them is #Bitcoin

👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 2) Let us share sth that you might have not known about Islam & Muslims. During the last sermon of the Prophet Mohamed PBUH, made it clear that all Interest is Forbidden (Haram). Muslims live by Halal (permissible) & Haram (Forbidden). This is what the Prophet said,

Hodling #Bitcoin as a Company is not easy, over the past year it felt like we were battling an opposing public opinion in our community all the time.
This was resolved by us learning & studying which was crucial

Thread 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 2/ The arguments were exhausting especially if you didn't put time into education

4. Consumes too much energy
5. Not an investment, its speculation
6. Manipulated market
7. CBDC's
8. Used by criminals

We looked our financial advisor in the eye and told him gold will turn into a scam because of #bitcoin
He laughed and condescendingly came back with the 6000 years argument.
Here is why we think gold's years are numbered. 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 1) Gold throughout history has been mainly used as a store of value. Even as jewelry it’s main purpose is to store & transfer wealth. That is why it is used in East Asian & middle eastern countries as dowries

We converted our entire reserves to #Bitcoin in Aug 2020 and since then we’ve been ridiculed and called irresponsible fools by people in our community.
Our reserves in $ terms doubled since then
Here is why we will continue to buy #Bitcoin forever

Time for a thread 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 1) Our current macroeconomic environment implies that there is going to be 10 to 15% expansion to our monetary supply every year for the next 3 to 5 years (or more)
Assets are going to inflate
Bitcoin is digital gold and it’s going to have the highest real yield because

#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,

This backstory is one of many reasons why we put all of our cash reserves into #Bitcoin
We watched our parents life savings & wealth get devalued by 65%
Time for a thread 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 1) My family except for my father lived in Egypt prior to 2012. My father was living and working in Saudi Arabia as a Mathematics Professor for 35 years and would come visit us in the summers, we also lived in Saudi for a few years and went back & forth between both countries.

1) Question for @BobbyKotick You understand digital scarcity and network effects better than most people how come you haven’t added #Bitcoin to @Activision cash reserves yet. 2) As CEO of the best gaming company in the world, We are huge Starcraft 2 fans and wouldn’t like it if your company falls behind in adopting a #Bitcoin Standard

1) We are seeing so much controversy over @100trillionUSD model. The man only tried to analyze data and share his findings with the community and he’s getting scolded for it. Before getting too amped up? Ask your self these few questions 👇🏽 2) If you are so angry with the model, why don’t you create your own?
If you did share it and debate

I see a lot of people in the #Bitcoin community obsessed with eating liver. I don’t blame you, liver is delicious but for crying out loud you guys are butchering the dish.
This is how it’s done.
Time for a thread 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 1) The liver needs to be cut extra thin. Liver is a dense meat. Cut it too thick and you will end up with course dry liver. Cutting it thin will take time. With practice you can do it or cut it frozen. Easier to cut since it won’t be slimy.
Sharpen the knife

We were questioned and ridiculed for buying #Bitcoin with our cash reserves. We posted a tweet to explain. People are still skeptical but came back with more questions which is good. We will continue to help educate on why we made that decision

Time for another thread👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 1) When Vicious Lion Investor @TraceMayer says “#Bitcoin is a claim on the future productivity of the planet in perpetuity discounted back to the present”

Time for a thread 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 1) Question for @sundarpichai Why don't you allocate some of @Google cash into #Bitcoin You guys have around $120 Billion in cash. Aren't you worried about that position? 🤔

Time for a thread 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 1) When tech titan & innovator @jack CEO of @Twitter & @Square has #Bitcoin as his bio
You should listen 👇🏽

#Bitcoin is a True Free Savings Technology that Saves Wealth Across Time and Space.

Let us elaborate on that
Time for a thread 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 1) #Bitcoin is true in every meaning of the word because it is perfectly accounted for and can be audited by anyone, anywhere at any time with precise accuracy. @pierre_rochard

As a small company that started in London Ontario Canada we operate 4 corporate locations and 3 Franshise locations about to open up in Ontario. We just converted our entire cash reserves that were originally used as savings into #Bitcoin
Time for thread 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 1) Going through the crisis of March business was tough on us & people were scared to go out to eat. My cousin, my brother & I let a significant amount of our partners (employees) go and were working day and night to keep the restaurants afloat.
