Hawala moves $200–$400 billion a year. No interest. No central bank. No licensed intermediary. Classical scholars validated it for centuries. Nobody calls it haram. So why does Bitcoin get a different standard?

RIBA is debt slavery.
Just say no, wherever you can.
RIBA — one of the gravest sins in Islam — isn't just in loans. It's in the MONEY itself.
Simon Dixon: what's worse is the interest owed on every dollar doesn't even exist.
He calls it a debt-based Ponzi scheme.
Did you know money in your bank account originated as debt?

An ex-Meta engineering manager on what the system watching you really sells: not just products, but the power to influence you.
Narratives, fear, silence.
Most of us already self-censor.
If the system controls us, are we truly free?

New Episode Out Now! Surveillance Capitalism: How Big Tech Owns You with Omar Al Zabir

Two decades in Islamic finance. Closed-minded by nature, by his own account.
Then he admitted the industry was deeply flawed, and that he'd been contributing to the flaw. He left in 2017.
That takes humility.
Would your ego let you admit if you were wrong?

Most people think banks lend out deposits.
The Bank of England disagrees: when a bank lends, it creates new money. Same in the US and Canada.
Interest on money made from nothing is an even worse form of RIBA.
Did you know that 97% of money in circulation is created from debt?

Believe there's no future and you live for today: gamble, chase pump-and-dumps, put it on the credit card.
Someone profits from every one of those.
Believing you'll answer for this life is the longest time horizon there is.
What's your time horizon?

"Should I buy Bitcoin? Will it go up?"
A former Islamic banker's answer: "I don't care."
What he cares about is whether money can fix a broken economy. Price is the least interesting thing about it.
What should we be asking instead?

"Just go back to gold."
We had gold. Then paper claims on the gold, and when honoring them got inconvenient, the standard was dropped.
Hard money that relies on law gets changed by law.
Can a gold standard built on PAPER PROMISES ever succeed?
