I opened a new Escape Room in Beirut that has Bitcoin as theme, to educate Lebanese people and increase Bitcoin adoption. In the room, the players will be the grandchildren of a newly dead bitcoin hodler.
What happened with FTX, already happened for all banks in Lebanon 3 years ago! We are lucky to have a solution that let us take custody of our money:

This morning, I had an enlightening conversation with a 57-year-old snack shop owner who possesses impressive knowledge about technology. I asked for his thoughts on

Have u ever heard of P2P? Banks are dead 3 years ago in Leb, and we r buying bitcoin more than ever. We have plenty of telegram groups where buyers meet the sellers.

The most valuable banknote in Lebanon, the 100,000 Lebanese pounds, is now worth less than this 2€ coin. Only three years ago, it was worth more than 60€.
Opt out of the fiat system while the 2€ coin is still worth more than the nickel and copper it is made of.

Sending money without the permission of any party, and without trusting any one, is the utility many (including me) search for ;)
Having a hard money that you can save in, without worrying if government will inflate is the top 1 need for any person who understands money ;)

What happened in Lebanon with banks, could happen anywhere too. Trusting banks with your hardly earned money is the biggest mistake you can do. Take real custody of your money before it’s too late ⏰

This is not a problem. This is a solution for long term security of bitcoin network which requires higher fees. What’s happening is a proof that people will keep bringing reasons, that we can’t imagine, to compete on block space. Free market is organic, random, and beautiful. By

Today, at the currency exchange office, someone tried to exchange a $100 banknote that had been partially eaten by moths. Unfortunately, they were not successful because the moth had eaten a part of the serial number, rendering the bill irreplaceable and worthless.

It seems even researched facts are not well presented in the media. The power shortage we have in Lebanon is in the public electricity sector that we don’t rely on. We are mainly getting energy for daily use from solar panels and private generators.

The rate you find on Google is not the actual one. It's the official rate, but it's not commonly used, not even by the government. Instead, the government employs a different rate that is very close to the actual rate. The real rate is 93,000 LBP per dollar, meaning that every

Ohh u really need to read about the Lebanese experience. Since the banks run, the dollars in the banks started being less valued than cash ones because of the withdrawal issues. In the beginning of the crisis $ in banks were valued at 95% now less than 10% of cash.
@theswampgirlUSA
Yes among the financially literate and their families and friends. It’s still only used in clusters now. Even in Lebanon, despite everything we’ve been through, we’re still early.
SVB today, SilverGate yesterday, and Lebanese banks three years ago, all have one thing in common: bankruptcy warnings. We are lucky to have a solution that lets us take custody of our money:

You scammed people in 2017 with TenX and your token. Anyone who has been in the space since then knows you well. Extremists are detrimental, whether in ideologies or scams! Anyway, time will reveal the truth once more :)

I mean with this, that if same crisis happened in US, u will still be able to use $ in banks and buy bitcoin with it if u like it for scale, but with a huge premium ;) bitcoin will have many price, one for cash $, one for US banks $
The whole point of the Bitcoin revolution is that no one should be able to print money out of thin air, not even governments! It is not meant to be turned around, allowing any scammer to print money out of thin air and steal people's funds!

In Lebanon, we have many telegram groups, where buyers and sellers place their orders, and then meet in person to exchange bitcoin or usdt to cash.
