Bitcoinize POS Machine ⚡

Shipped our final February pending orders, and the last 11 Bitcoinize Machines are on their way to @MotivPeru. Now we’re building something new: a definitive community response for @bitcoincoreorg. No more machines for sale until we ship new code. 👇

Pura Vida

40%, 8 days left, Paco's campaign is moving forward, let's push it to 100%! 👇🧡

@BitcoinLaLaguna Now it's a rare item, not for sale anymore. Take care of it!

Another merchant leveled up in El Salvador! 🥳📲⚡️ Crazy Store now has a Bitcoin POS and the book Bitcoin para Negocios to keep stacking properly. Visit La Laguna, Chalatenango for a traditional breakfast and pay with sats. We’re ready for your next visit. 🇸🇻🍊

Running Bitcoinize 🚀 A long computer science journey. Dreaming in BIPs and OPs. A few bugs to fix, hundreds of tests to run Once it finishes syncing and validating the blocks with the new Zig zero-dependency code, I’ll start testing the wallet and optimizing our LevelDB in Zig

Extremely important that doesn’t happen. Please repost so we get the word out.

Dear @danheld, It must be nice to sit so comfortably that you can look at the entire world and say "no one cares." Meanwhile in Uganda, orphans at Star Light Elementary School care A LOT about the fact that @BitcoinBeachBR used Bitcoin to save their school. With brave hearts abandoning the industry, developers burning the protocol, strong new narratives waiting to be weaponized, and more than 100 kids to feed until the end of the year, you should be deeply concerned. Do you have no soul? Bitcoin is part of our daily lives. It's replaced our local currency. It may not be useful for you, but it was made for us. WE CARE. 🧡

@BitcoinBeachBR @Bitcoinize @BitcoinConfed

The Praia Bitcoin, @Bitcoinize, and @BitcoinConfed Sunset From September 2021 to February 2026, Praia Bitcoin worked to create the first Bitcoin circular economy in Brazil. In 2023, we developed the Bitcoinize Machine and became the first community to combine point-of-sale systems with @bolt_card, @btcpayserver, and @lnbits. Since 2024, we organized the industry through the Bitcoin Economy Confederation directory, creating a network of circular economies and providing them with visibility, coordination, and shared resources. Due to recent changes to Bitcoin's source code that transformed the Bitcoin blockchain into a hosting database for arbitrary data—representing countless social and legal risks for Bitcoin circular economy founders and node operators— we have decided to cease operations as a direct signal to @bitcoincoreorg developers that these changes are unacceptable. The websites will remain operational throughout 2026 as historical records and resources, but there are no further plans to continue the Confederation's, Bitcoinize's or Praia Bitcoin's endeavors. Since these protocol changes cannot be reversed, the risks to node operators and community founders will persist indefinitely. We will be closing our community center until April, and all donations collected for our 2026 operations will be transferred to active projects on @GeyserFund and other worthy initiatives in the Bitcoin circular economy space, mainly @orphansofuganda A Warning to the Community Leaders: Because of these emerging undesirable narratives and technical realities, we strongly recommend extreme caution before doxxing yourself in association with Bitcoin—especially in remote areas and developing nations. Node operators and community founders are now exposed to numerous social, legal, and non-technical risks that can destroy a reputation overnight, undermining years of careful community building. This exposure exists because a small group of developers have prioritized features that fundamentally compromise the protocol's original purpose and the safety of those building Bitcoin circular economies worldwide. The Path Forward: We have come to recognize a fundamental truth: the future of Bitcoin circular economies lies not in centralized organizations, but in organic, independent growth. Each community must build its own resilient economic ecosystem, learning from others while remaining truly sovereign and self-sustaining. This decentralized approach honors Bitcoin's original ethos far better than any confederation ever could. We thank all the communities, donors, and supporters who believed in this vision. Your work continues to matter, even as we close this chapter. Stay sovereign, Fernando Motolese Founder, Praia Bitcoin Brasil, Bitcoinize and BitcoinConfed Sources:[1] x.com/BitcoinBeachBR…

“Spend as soon as possible” works like magic, we are lucky to have already bought the school and brought construction to almost completion at Starlight Elementary School! We of course have effect on the budget but it could have been worse, about 85% of the major construction & spending is done ✅ We are now painting 🖼️ Thanks @Bitcoinbeach, @TrezorAcademy and of course @BitcoinBeachBR (our coach & mentor) for making a better life for @orphansofuganda We keep building.

As the markets for Bitcoin Payments are very very small, we are considering to become a Non-Profit organization before to run the next campaign on @geyserfund, all or nothing, with huge goals. To build a new device, we need make a Minimum Order of 2000 machines , a new motherboard to support eSIM, frontal camera and New OS costing today around 3 BTC After, building it we are thinking to allow the factory make direct sells instead being the middleman, to drop the price of the machine. Anyway, now we are just thinking, nothing is defined yet, we are even considering shutdown our operation because it isn't sustainable yet.

During the bear market is time to Build. What do you prefer for the next batch of Bitcoinize Machines?

@ntvde Seid ihr bei ntv des Englischen mächtig? Falls ja: Warum werden solche Spekulationen nicht anhand der Beweise in den Epstein-Files entsprechend eingeordnet?

@maxkeiser It's time to help Chile, Max... x.com/BitcoinMagazin…

Only El Salvador has a Bitcoin vision and plan. The U.S. has fallen further behind as it kowtows to malevolent banks, shitcoiners and unreliable politicians.

Bitcoin-powered circular economy in Soweto: kids earning sats, spending at spaza shops, and local businesses thriving

@pete_rizzo_ New? I have paid with Bolt Cards and Bolt Ring already for years on the @Bitcoinize

BTCPay Server 2.3 is out! 🚨 Starting today, you can charge merchants a subscription fee to use your BTCPay Server, making it sustainable for local enthusiasts to onboard businesses to accept Bitcoin while undercutting credit card fees and preserving merchant self-custody.
