THE CASE FOR BUILDING A BITCOIN TREASURY FOR CANADA With the US considering establishing a strategic bitcoin reserve, &other nations like Bhutan & El Salvador already accumulating, Canada risks falling behind in the race to innovate & diversify our reserves. Canada’s economic challenges are mounting: slower GDP growth, a weakening currency, underperforming stock markets, & rising debt. Canada needs to embrace Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset. Adding Bitcoin to Canada’s treasury could offer multiple benefits: 🔸 Hedge Against Inflation, Globally Disruptive Events, & Currency Depreciation: With the Canadian dollar losing ground against the USD & our rising debt levels, Bitcoin’s limited supply, & uncorrelated & decentralized nature make it an attractive alternative to traditional reserves & an opportunity to shore up our balance sheet. 🔸 Economic Growth & Innovation: A Bitcoin reserve could attract global investment, foster growth in fintech & digital sectors, raise confidence in our markets, & position Canada as a leader in the G7. 🔸 Energy System Optimization: By mining Bitcoin using excess or stranded energy, Canada can monetize unused resources while strengthening local energy infrastructure. Execution would require converting some of existing foreign exchange reserves and bonds for Bitcoin (effectively reversing what Canada did when it recently sold our gold) & collaboration between federal & provincial governments should Canada follow multiple other nations in mining Bitcoin. Canada’s vast renewable energy resources, coupled with Bitcoin mining’s potential to subsidize low-carbon energy & pollution mitigation projects, create a unique opportunity to align economic sovereignty, financial independence, & energy security with our environmental goals. The time to act is now. It’s not a question of if, but when: will it be years or decades? Given the U.S. is heading in this direction as early as 2025, waiting means higher acquisition costs & lost opportunities. Read the full case I make for Canada adding Bitcoin to its treasury & how we can execute on it, below: #Bitcoin #Canada #Innovation #Energy #Economy #Fintech #centralbank #gold #treasury #energysecurity #nationalsecurity

51.ca Blog Editor's Recommendation: Restoring the Reputation and Function of Weizhen Tang Is Worth Billions This is Weizhen Tang's call to arms and mobilization letter. Weizhen Tang's Call to Arms: I, Weizhen Tang, am a person with ideals and aspirations, wholly dedicated to working for investors and society. I am a figure who can achieve great results with minimal effort, representing China in the global financial sector. My aim is to become one of the world's most successful and wealthy individuals, something most people might not know, but can understand. I was intentionally persecuted by the Canadian government’s securities enforcement agencies and systems through a conspiracy. Without proper legal defense and independent, objective witnesses, I was wrongfully imprisoned. After serving my sentence, I was fully released and continued to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada. However, they protected their own, feigning ignorance by accepting my appeal but not hearing it. Many people do not understand the law and are misled by the judicial authorities, missing opportunities and suffering losses. The judiciary is warfare and a tool of warfare. Most people (99.9%) see only one side, thinking that once my reputation is lost, everything is over. However, every matter has two sides. I might turn misfortune into a blessing, with my notoriety greatly increasing. Once the truth is revealed, all negative news can be transformed into immense positive energy. Former U.S. President Donald Trump understands this very well. Starting as a famous entrepreneur, he became one of the world's most renowned and significant politicians by skillfully using the judiciary. In Canada, legal fees are prohibitively expensive, often affordable only for the wealthy. Although criminal defense for those without money is supposedly government-funded, as a Chinese person, I was neither able to use my own frozen funds, which amounted to hundreds of thousands, nor the investors’ frozen funds (most of which were mine). While Canadian justice ostensibly claims to be open and fair, the judicial system went to great lengths to prevent me from having legal representation. Most people did not see through this. Originally, I had legal investment accounts worth millions in both the U.S. and Canada, which were seized by judicial officers. The judge ruled that I could not use taxpayer money. Over the past few years, without lawyers or financial experts defending me, I was unjustly convicted and sentenced to six years in prison. After my imprisonment, I continued to fight and appeal. During my time in prison, I obtained extensive court records, materials, and evidence from the government, gaining significant legal knowledge and experience. Without spending money on lawyers, I saved a lot of money and avoided unnecessary expenses. Because I had no lawyer, they made numerous errors and committed outrageous crimes, which we can address later.

Canada is at a crossroads in the cryptocurrency space, with immense potential to lead globally. Recent regulatory updates have stirred debates, but achieving a balanced approach is crucial for fostering growth while ensuring investor protection. Here’s what Canada’s crypto scene needs now: 1. Unified Regulatory Approach: Establishing clear, inclusive regulations is essential for Canada to become a global cryptocurrency hub. 2. Investor Protection: New guidelines by the Canadian Securities Administrators aim to protect investors, but they also present challenges for market expansion. 3. Innovation vs. Regulation: Balancing stringent regulations with the need for innovation is key to preventing the stifling of the DeFi sector. Canada has a unique opportunity to capitalize on its strong foundation in financial innovation. The path forward requires collaboration between regulators and industry stakeholders to create a thriving, secure, and innovative crypto ecosystem. Despite challenges, Canada's crypto sector continues to grow, with projected revenues reaching US$1.74 billion in 2024. Embracing a balanced and forward-thinking regulatory approach will be key to capitalizing on the anticipated market upswing.

"Crypto is here to stay" "The ginie is not going back to the bottle" you name it! phrases i keep hearing about crypto from conversations around legislative bodies. this is definitely a good sign 🤞 Nowadays it is not weather or not crypto is legitimate or not, but it is about how exactly goverments are goong to walk towards embracing the crypro industry by giving it more attention and changing regulations around it. for us, precisely, as a web3 startup talking to Canadian business incubators, it sometimes has been challenging to introduce our startup, as we werent sure the other party had a good view on crypro as a permanent industry. sometimes, in websites we apply, in the dropdown for "choose your industry" doesn't involve crypro as a seperate industry, so often we can check SaSS or Fintech. We'd like to see more acceptance around crypto specifically in the Canadian start up community.

Bitcoin’s rise toward $100,000 offers a unique opportunity for Canadian fintechs to capitalize on growing interest in digital assets. It opens doors for innovation in payment solutions, decentralized finance (DeFi), and blockchain-based services while attracting global investors. Fintechs can benefit from heightened consumer crypto adoption, expanding their product offerings and market reach. However, they must address challenges like regulatory scrutiny and market volatility to thrive in this evolving landscape. This surge positions Canadian fintechs to lead in shaping the future of digital finance.

Coffeezilla dives into the Yotta Bank debacle, that is still ongoing. Everyday consumers do not understand the intricacies of the new startups that are utilizing Banking-as-a-Service platforms. They simply trust what they see because they believe in the US banking system and trusts the stability of the system. Especially when episodes are still being sponsored. But every time something like this occurs it tarnishes that system and makes the entire industry look bad to the end user customers. More importantly, guardrails need to be erected to prevent this problem in the future. Startups using these tools and platforms need more accountability and oversight to ensure smooth operation. https://lnkd.in/echy22rw

"How to find 100 Investors in 100 Days and Raise $250K (or more!)" At Silicon Prairie we have cracked the code on raising capital online with our https://crowdbuilder.works suite of tools! If you want to raise $250,000 you'd need 100 investors at $2,500 each and you'd have to start with a population of about 50K people to approach, which you can totally do using LinkedIN Sales Navigator and CrowdBuilder warming up to 500 profile visits per day! Assuming a 50% email address identification rate and a low 1/2% capture rate (+/-) you would need to make well over 20K attempts to get someone to respond to your call to action. And that is assuming a ONE time bump which we know that it actually takes 5 +/- 2 impressions before someone will answer your "Call to Action". In other words you're going to have to plan on making nearly 100K outbound attempts! It is not MAGIC -- it is MATH! And it scales. PLUS using "perks" you can nudge your investors to make multiple investments and often larger investments to earn bonuses for sharing your offering with THEIR networks.

Visa, Mastercard or Aeropay? Aeropay initially served cannabis retailers and gaming companies. They just received $20 million funding.. ..as a provider of pay-by-bank solutions, and aim to challenge legacy financial technology players by innovating in areas they haven't explored. Co-founder and CEO Dan Muller, who has a background in developing digital solutions for brands, has leveraged his experience to create a new payment system. Aeropay offers regulatory-compliant, cashless, and contactless digital payments both in-store and online. They built their own bank aggregator, Aerosync, to connect over 12,000 banks, allowing merchants to facilitate direct bank-to-bank transfers without involving card networks. This method reduces transaction fees and risks, making it especially suitable for industries like cannabis that cannot use traditional payment networks. In 2023, Aeropay saw significant growth, recording a 10x increase in revenue and processing over $1 billion annually. The company has raised a total of $35 million in funding, including a recent $20 million Series B round led by Group 11. Aeropay aspires to become the next major payment network by focusing on affordability, user experience, and low fraud risk. The recent funding will be used to expand their team and improve distribution. Group 11’s founding partner, Dovi Frances, highlights that Aeropay addresses complex regulatory challenges and presents a unique opportunity to disrupt the traditional card networks. Frances categorizes Aeropay in the coordination layer of financial technology, poised to challenge giants like Visa and Mastercard by offering a robust alternative that benefits both merchants and consumers.

Little Canadian smallcap chugging away at $1m Trudeaus per day now The world's first public proxy to Elon Musk's favorite and heavily owned coin, #dogecoin Why is a public proxy viable? 99% of people are not going to open a crypto wallet (19 keywords, cold storage drives, safety deposit boxes, hacking losses) the conditioned barrier to entry is too high. So a public equity buys it as a high % of proceeds raised and holds it for the upside. 90% of intuitions still can't buy Dogecoin. 100% of Institutions CAN buy a public equity that buys Dogecoin - problem solved. Retail can buy the public proxy to put in their RRSP, TFSA or 401-k I'm going to unpack the full Dogcoin proxy pitch here next week. Thanks to all for your support on $SPIR.cn $SBLCF Have a great weekend.

Bitcoin is becoming more and more a big part of the conversation. Remember when Justin Trudeau ridiculed Pierre Poilievre on Bitcoin. "In a Nov. 26 Vancouver city council meeting, Mayor Sim submitted a notice of motion he intended to introduce on Dec. 11 titled “Preserving of the city’s purchasing power through diversification of financial resources: Becoming a Bitcoin-friendly city.” As of Nov. 27, the motion did not appear to be available on the city government’s website." https://lnkd.in/g6HE_P-P Bitcoin, gold and other hard assets will preserve buying power when current govt erodes the CAD. What are you doing to protect yourself?

Let's talk about “How to get better Hashrate”

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝘆𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗮 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗽 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝘆𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗕𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗳𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 $𝟵𝟰,𝟭𝟬𝟬 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 $𝟵𝟳,𝟴𝟬𝟬. This downturn led to $1.5 billion in liquidations, impacting over 514,000 traders globally, according to Coinglass. Friday, December 6th, I posted (along with many other crypto enthusiasts) about Bitcoin hitting its all-time high of $100K. Now, here we are, just days later, witnessing a pullback. It’s incredible how quickly things can shift, isn’t it? But, the excitement and optimism around that milestone were undeniable... The drop may have been a reminder of market volatility, but it hasn’t reduced my enthusiasm or erased the significance of what we achieved. The reason I wanted to talk about this today is because it’s such a great example of the ups and downs we all face, not just in crypto, but in life and business too. 𝗦𝗲𝘁𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻. 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗮𝗹𝗹. 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗴𝗼 𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀. If you’re feeling like life is throwing you a downturn of your own, just know this: you’re not alone. Growth, whether in business, investments, or personal life, comes from embracing the process—including the hard parts. For me, it’s about staying steady, learning, and knowing that every dip is part of the bigger climb. That’s what it’s all about.
