Let's do this. | | | Hard To Soft Money: The Hyperinflation Of The Roman Empire
By Drew MacMartin Historically, hyperinflation is a positive feedback loop of free money, illusionary wealth and greed.
The story of hyperinflation is not a new one. This is a process that has happened in history and will continue to happen in the future if we don't adopt a currency which can't be controlled or manipulated. In essence, if we don't adopt bitcoin. The author makes a successful attempt at contrasting our current times and the expansion of the FED balance sheet, to the great monetary debasement of the Roman Empire. According to the piece, the worst part, is that people do not see it as a cause of inflation, or that high inflation is bad, all the while currency debasement is becoming a one-way street.
"I am 100% certain that fiats will continue to debase.. on an accelerated basis" - Greg Foss.
As an extra thought to digest: Empires are created with hard money, and when they decay, they often have soft money. | | Foundry Digital Grants 1 Bitcoin To Mempool.Space Foundry Digital Has Announced A Grant Of 1 Bitcoin To Mempool.space In An Effort To Boost The Bitcoin Ecosystem's Security And Transparency.

As we all know, Bitcoin is for everyone, and its power lays in it being open source. As having open source software benefits us all, it is important to remember to give back to the community.

By Namcios Despite the ban in early 2021, Nigerians are trading millions of dollars worth of bitcoin in peer-to-peer markets every month.
When it comes to adoption, Africa is a great example of bitcoin changing hands in a peer-to-peer (P2P) fashion.
Despite undergoing a bitcoin ban in early 2021, Nigerians keep showing new volume highs in P2P bitcoin trading, having exchanged close to $40 million in bitcoin P2P trading in the last 30 days. The trend has continued to increase throughout the year not only for Nigeria but for other African countries.
Kenya is following in second place with close to $20 million of bitcoin traded monthly.
This is proof of a system that is anti-fragile, and it shows resilience and strength even when strong parties attempt to regulate it or stop it.
