- Bitcoin is here to stay. Now is the time for us to educate everyone, especially progressives, on its empowering use cases for citizens looking to preserve their wealth, freely transact around the globe, and embrace this decentralized technology. Bitcoin is for the people ✊
- Gm Bitcoin gives power back to the people. No middleman, no business hours, no credit score or permissions from a bank needed to hold and transact. Global. Permissonless. It’s *your* money when you hold bitcoin in self-custody.

- Is Bitcoin being “captured” by Wall Street? Is it out of reach for everyday people? Wall Street is buying Bitcoin. But it’s still for the people, argues Executive Director @trey.progressivebitcoiner.org in his latest article, up on our website now! progressivebitcoiner.org/wall-streets...
- What if a Bitcoin-backed bond could save Social Security? 🤔 BitBonds might be the most progressive fiscal tool yet — and they could reshape how we fund the future. Article out now from our Exec. Director @trey.progressivebitcoiner.org progressivebitcoiner.org/bitbonds-mig...
-
View full threadWhile the concept is still theoretical, BitBonds represent a compelling intersection of technology and public policy. They invite us to rethink how we fund essential social programs in the 21st century.
- Read the full policy brief on Bitbonds by Matthew Pines and Andrew Hohns from @btcpolicyorg.bsky.social here: www.btcpolicy.org/articles/bit...
- By utilizing BitBonds, governments might tap into a global pool of investors seeking stable, long-term returns, thereby reducing reliance on traditional debt instruments.
- This approach could align with progressive values by promoting financial inclusion and reducing the burden on future taxpayers. It also introduces a level of fiscal innovation that addresses modern economic realities.
- Social Security faces long-term funding challenges. Traditional fixes often involve politically sensitive measures like tax hikes or benefit cuts. But what if there’s a more innovative solution?
- Enter BitBonds: a novel concept that leverages Bitcoin’s technology to create a new form of government bond. These bonds could offer a transparent, and potentially inflation-resistant funding mechanism.

- Bitcoin and an abundant future 🧵⬇️

View full threadIf people want a world of abundance that takes into consideration environmental and social factors, Bitcoin belongs in the conversation. It’s a tool for financial inclusion, energy innovation, and institutional reform—all essential for the future Klein and Thompson envisions.
- Let’s build an abundant, progressive future—with Bitcoin as part of the foundation. 🌍⚡ #Bitcoin #Abundance #Progress #Progressive
- Housing and infrastructure shortages come from misaligned incentives. Similarly, Bitcoin fixes incentives. By decentralizing trust and reducing reliance on fragile institutions, it helps individuals and communities build resilience outside broken systems.
- Finally, Abundance champions a vision of technological optimism—solving problems through innovation rather than restriction. Bitcoin is exactly that: an open-source, global technology that empowers individuals and communities, without outdated persimmons structures.
- A key theme in Abundance is fixing the bottlenecks that restrict growth. Traditional finance is full of them—slow settlements, high fees, and exclusionary policies. Bitcoin offers instant, borderless transactions with no centralized control.
- Energy is another focus. Critics say Bitcoin consumes too much, but Klein and Thompson argue that we need more energy—cheap, clean, and abundant. Bitcoin mining incentivizes renewable energy, stabilizes grids, and makes stranded power economically viable.
- The recent book Abundance by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson argues that progress is being held back by unnecessary scarcity—of housing, energy, infrastructure, and technology. But what if we told you that Bitcoin aligns perfectly with an abundant, progressive vision of the future?
- The book highlights how excessive regulation and outdated institutions slow down innovation. Bitcoin thrives in open systems—minimizing gatekeepers, increasing financial access, peer-to-peer transactions allowing frictionless payments and beyond
- Beautiful illustration of the second order effects of Bitcoin. Expanding renewable energy buildouts to remote parts of Africa. "The bitcoin mine now accounts for around 30% of the plant's revenue allowing them to keep the prices down for the local town." www.bbc.com/news/article...
- Bitcoin is nonpartisan. But in today’s hyper-political climate, it’s often framed as a right-wing movement. Let’s cut through the noise and explore why Bitcoin is for everyone—including progressives. 🧵👇

View full threadProgressives shouldn’t cede Bitcoin to libertarians or conservatives. It aligns with values of equity, self-sovereignty, and economic justice. Let’s reclaim the narrative.
- If you’re with us, regardless of your political ideology, and believe Bitcoin is a force for good, follow @progressivebitcoiner.org and help us build a movement that makes Bitcoin accessible for all. #BitcoinisForEveryone
- Climate concerns? The Bitcoin mining industry is rapidly becoming a driver of renewable energy innovation, stabilizing grids, and reducing methane emissions. The narrative that it’s “bad for the environment” is outdated.
- Instead of being a left vs. right issue, Bitcoin should be seen as a public good—a tool that benefits everyone, regardless of political affiliation.
- Worried about corporate greed? Bitcoin challenges Wall Street’s control over money. It’s a decentralized network owned by no one—no bank bailouts, no money printing to serve the elite.
- And let’s talk privacy. In an era of increasing surveillance, Bitcoin gives individuals the ability to transact freely without censorship or oversight from authoritarian regimes when used in privacy preserving ways
- In the U.S., the financial system disproportionately excludes low-income individuals & communities of color. Bitcoin provides an alternative—a global, borderless, permissionless system where anyone can participate.
- Remittances are a prime example. Immigrant families lose billions to fees from traditional payment providers. Bitcoin fixes this—enabling fast, low-cost transfers without banks or intermediaries.
- At its core, Bitcoin is about economic empowerment, financial inclusion, and freedom from centralized control—values that resonate across the political spectrum.
- For progressives, Bitcoin offers: ✅ A way to fight wealth inequality ✅ Protection against corporate & state overreach ✅ Financial access for marginalized communities
- “If our political spectrum was a circle rather than the typically depicted Left / Right straight line of the graphic above, perhaps Bitcoin could indeed close the loop on our respective grievances.” Read the latest, from @5atoshinakamoto.bsky.social progressivebitcoiner.org/on-regret-an...

- Watch now 🚨 Rep @rokhanna.bsky.social speech from the Bitcoin Policy Institute’s “Bitcoin for America” event yesterday in D.C. “When it comes to Bitcoin what we need need is a consensus that Bitcoin is good as a store of value for the United States and good for the world.” Full Video ⬇️

- If we care about equity, civil rights, peace, and sustainability, we should explore Bitcoin as a tool—not dismiss it based on outdated narratives or political rivals. It’s time for an open conversation on how Bitcoin aligns with progressive values. #Bitcoin #progressive
