Next time you use your card, remember that the merchant does not receive the entire amount you paid! Banks, payment processors and card networks take a cut from the merchant. #Bitcoin fixes this for the merchant, they receive the entire amount paid.

📍Calgary -> Kampala 8 months ago I spoke with @BrindonMwiine for the first time. He was inspired by my whiteboard to bring it to the streets of Kampala. Today we united our two whiteboards in front of Makerere University (Uganda's largest university)

What is the most uncomfortable situation you’ve put yourself in during your #Bitcoin journey? Personally, the first time I held the #Bitcoin whiteboard at a mall I felt anxious, nervous and a little insecure. Second time around, it was a total 180, I felt energized and excited!

Visual #Bitcoin Dictionary What is a fork? Is it a utensil? It's a change in the rules of the #Bitcoin protocol made by the community since #Bitcoin is open source. More to come on hard/soft forks....
