This is an exciting development for Canada and a potential milestone for broader Bitcoin adoption! Vancouver’s decision to explore Bitcoin as a strategic reserve shows real foresight into how digital assets can complement traditional financial systems. I see this as a chance for cities and provinces to rethink how they manage reserves while driving innovation. If implemented thoughtfully, this could strengthen financial resilience and attract tech-focused investments to the region. It’s particularly encouraging to see Canada taking steps toward aligning with global leaders like El Salvador and Switzerland’s Zug Canton. Could this be the spark that inspires provincial or even federal interest in integrating Bitcoin into their strategies? I’m excited to see how Vancouver moves forward and would love to hear others’ thoughts on the opportunities and challenges this could bring. #FinTech #Blockchain #Bitcoin #innovation

What Are We Lacking? Good Morning All - I hope you had an amazing weekend! As always, I like to start the week off right with some words of Motivation or Inspiration for you: "Stop focusing on what you don't have and shift your consciousness to an appreciation for all you are all that you do have." Wayne Dyer https://lnkd.in/gbSiVd22 It's easy to get caught up in what we think we lack; whether it's material possessions, achievements, relationships, or even personal qualities. This can lead to constantly comparing ourselves to others, and feeling inadequate or insufficient. Instead, let's embrace gratitude for all that we are and all that we have. Let's celebrate our experiences, our relationships, what we have overcome and the abundance of blessings that surround us each day. This shift will always lead to a more fulfilling and meaningful life. Have an amazing day and week!

"Bitcoin is dirty!" Who created the mainstream narrative around Bitcoin..? Who paid Greenpeace to push this story? Should we now unlearn the Bitcoin narrative..? Bitcoin mining is being re-envisioned as an unexpected solution to the global energy crisis. By capturing surplus energy that would otherwise go to waste, this approach revitalizes local economies, enhances energy infrastructure, and fosters sustainable growth in underserved areas. Seen through a new lens, Bitcoin mining sparks important conversations about the potential of emerging technologies to drive positive change. This shift reframes mining as a transformative force, offering communities worldwide a fresh path toward sustainability and empowerment. Alana Mediavilla-Diaz unpacks this in a new documentary! https://lnkd.in/dwq3URxG

What does the world's most advanced free private city Próspera look like? Beautifully innovative and it's just getting started. You'll have to see through the biased media's attempt to paint this project as "rich, greedy, isolationist snobbish colonialists" and see it for what it really is: the world's greatest human prosperity project, keen to 6x to 7x the standard of living and broad-based human prosperity to the mainland of Honduras if the socialist cum communist current government won't stop trying to violate the contract to build this incredible special prosperity zone. Look through the deception and see the potential. https://lnkd.in/e4BeCpNJ
