And no, your shitty website with an email/github login to an ummah portal isn't gonna cut it.

Closing Q&A w/Simon Dixon & the Bitcoin Majlis team.
What's next for Palestine? Can Wall Street capture Bitcoin? How do you pay zakat in it? Where do you even start?
It ended with Simon and me sharing how our studies of money & economics tied in with us embracing Islam. For me it was my local masjid asking for qard hasan, and realising fiat punishes the very generosity Islam encourages.

Reading this passage from brother @harris_irfan’s book, Heavens Banker, talking about his conversation with brother Tarek El Diwany…
I immediately thought of my brothers @BitcoinMajlis and what @MBitcoiner told him at our summit a couple of weeks ago: him and his book started this. We were all here, doing this, fisabililah, as a result of his work.
So as he hoped, it has started to happen. Maybe not quite as he pictured, but it’s happening nonetheless. Alhamdulilah.
Plenty of Muslims holding Bitcoin want to pay their zakat in Bitcoin. Most mosques and charities can't accept it.
That came up on our UK tax panel with Shukry Haleemdeen (My Crypto Tax). His clients want to give zakat on their gains without cashing out first, and charities pay no capital gains tax on it. The opportunity is there. The infrastructure isn't, yet.
Hosted by @rizq_revolution, the panel also covers what's actually taxable, what HMRC can see, and how a business can start accepting Bitcoin, all done properly and above board.

"What would it take for a major platform such as Meta, Shopify, or OpenAI to accept bitcoin?"
You're asking the wrong question entirely and it reveals just how poorly @spiral_xyz and much of the broader Bitcoin industry understand the problem they're actually trying to solve.
.@jack thinks bitcoin payment adoption isn’t where it should be. We want your ideas on how @Blocks, Spiral, and you can increase adoption within 5 years. Our trajectory needs changing. Here’s more on our thinking. Now we want yours: github.com/spiralxyz/bitcoin… View article
Bitcoin alone won't make you sovereign.
That's where @TeePolitics started his session at the Muslim Bitcoin Summit, and it's a direct challenge to the self-congratulation you hear at most Bitcoin conferences.
A paper Bitcoin standard, the AI-driven surveillance state, and why the real fight ahead is over governance, not just keys.

"Bitcoin's going to free Palestine."
That's the line that got Maher Janajri into Bitcoin back in 2013. On this panel we got into what that actually looks like on the ground.
Getting money into Gaza when banks can't. Escaping the shekel in the West Bank. Circular Bitcoin economies in Africa, and what the ummah can learn from them.

Not the keynote you'd expect at a Bitcoin summit, and one of the ones we were asked about most.
@SafdarAlam , former Global Head of Islamic Structuring at J.P. Morgan, on why Islamic finance went wrong, and how Muslims can re-architect the financial system, and civilisation, from first principles.
Bitcoin is part of the conversation, but not the whole answer.

I think those attacking @SimonDixonTwitt right now need to have a proper listen to this. It shatters all your narratives…

This is exactly why @BitcoinMajlis
has been outlining the Digital Hijrah - a deliberate migration from these extractive systems via:
•self-custody Bitcoin
•privacy-first tools
•open-source infrastructure
A community that doesn't hand their data or deen over to this panopticon
I genuinely think this is one of the best keynotes you'll ever hear.
@SimonDixonTwitt at the Muslim Bitcoin Summit in London, on how Bitcoin combats the military, financial & technical industrial complex.
You could literally feel the impact this had on everyone in the room. Riba, the rise and fall of empires, war, the coming digital control grid, and why owning your own key is the way out.

Wow would you look at that
Whilst many people’s stubbornness forced them to repeat the question “what happens if the whole world loses power?”
They literally managed to print gold…
Last month, we demonstrated high-rate alchemy: turning mercury into real, stable gold, beating CERN’s record by a factor of 10.
Last week, we enriched isotopes in the world’s most powerful plasma centrifuge, beating the Soviet record that stood for 40 years.
Now, we’re building a fusion reactor in San Francisco to achieve record power density.

Palantir is deemed Shariah compliant by several globally recognised Shariah screening standards
Including AAOIFI.
The Shariah board at AAOIFI comprises the most experienced and renowned Scholars in the world
Either you accept Palantir is Shariah compliant or you stop using “the scholars approved it” as a defence for Islamic products.
Pick your lane.
Bitcoin, as always, was the canary in the coal mine.
Everyone is now going to realise just how much the world around them depends on cryptography and entropy:

This is a sincere question
(To clarify - I don’t promote btc as an investment for Muslims. I don’t want that Amanah but I support btc due to its strong philosophy of capital. Which is entirely aligned with Islam )
I am pleased to be seen not to promote products and investments. Because virtually all modern products are derived from a certain philosophy of capital which is degenerate for Muslims to follow.
Our sign of complete capture by Riba and fiat is that we are forced to search for products delivered by the system that has captured us.
For nearly all Muslim fintech founders the correct response is to line them up and whip them until they appreciate our Deen and fear the Amanah of asking for Muslim capital.
I reject their products and their capture entirely. It is a curse on Muslims.
