While at @AfroBitcoinOrg weโ€™ll be giving any donated sats to the Kenya Fire Brigades Association as we help get Bitcoin on their balance sheet ๐Ÿ”—๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ”— proofofworkforce.org Kenya, a nation of 56 million people, has around 1400 Firefighters. For perspective, L.A. City, with 4 million, has 4000 uniform personnel. Recently we met with the Sec. General of the Kenya Fire Brigades Association, and learned about their work in supporting and unifying the Kenyan Firefighters, and enhancing the fire service in Kenya. We also discussed Bitcoin, and its benefits as a tool for unions and wage earners. Our goal is to help the Association with their efforts by placing Bitcoin on their balance sheet, via donated sats, coupled with some education for their members. Their success as a union, translates into success for the people of Kenya, and the emergency services and firefighters they rely on in life or death situations.

I didn't realize I met Dom several years ago while working as a reporter in LA and we reconnected through the Bitcoin space. If you haven't heard from him yet, you'll really enjoy this talk.

Happy Birthday @lisa_hough_ Thank you for all your contributions and support to Proof of Workforce, and the workers and unions we have helped get off zero! Couldnโ€™t do it without you!
Happy happy birthday to the most incredible mom anyone could ever hope for @lisa_hough_! Your raising me with a โ€œswim coach, not lifeguardโ€ mentality didnโ€™t just teach me how to literally swim - you coached me through life with the same determination, heart, and humor. Youโ€™ve been one of my biggest cheerleaders and fiercest advocates in all things, not from the deck but from by my side. While other moms waited in the carpool line, you walked into school to pick me up, showing me that being present matters and what it means to show up fully for the people you love. You advocated for my homemade lunches, initiating a school policy change, taught me how to pay bills by age 10, and sat me down to make โ€œthe spreadsheetโ€ - the one that changed how I thought about my choices and the course of my life. You taught me that the little things matter, like the sentimentality of a handwritten letter and how to treat every person like a friend you just havenโ€™t met yet. And you kept me grounded with your rules: 2 fruits and 1 sweet at Pinkberry (on the Original flavor), no TV in the summer (and then only HGTV, Food Network, Curious George or The Brady Bunch), and the infamous extra-long gym shorts & flip phone. (Not my favorite then, but I see the wisdom now!) Most of all, you showed me what it means to bet on yourself - to believe in your dreams and work for them. You are one of my greatest inspirations, strongest supporters, and favorite people. Thank you for shaping my life in all the best ways; โ€œYour loveโ€™s put me at the top of the world.โ€ Love you lots non-skimper (for today).

Just got off an amazing call with the CIO of a healthy pension fund... The pension fund managers interested in exploring #Bitcoin to maintain long-term health and solvency share one very noticeable trait...compassion for those whose futures depend upon their decisions... Bullish...

One explanation as to why residents in Mass are buying #Bitcoin en masse: their state pension, funded at 69%, points towards workers retiring later and for less money than they were promised when hired (at best) @SenWarren Solution: Attack #Bitcoin and make Banks richer

Perhaps if Pensions move from hypothetical to actual #Bitcoin allocations soon, they will find that in time, it will be the liabilities trying to keep up with total asset value
Including later today but thats +36% since our recommendation. On 142Bi a 2% allocation would have added more than 1Bi to pensioners.

Working Americans finally found something of value, that can not be manipulated or pillaged by legacy finance. Hold on to #Bitcoin for Dear Life, learn more, contribute and support, because this is our chance to have something of our own!
What people like @SenWarren & Jamie Dimon are really saying about #Bitcoin is this.๐Ÿ‘‡ Big banks & large financial institutions can hold the underlying โ€” they can hold the real thing โ€” but YOU, the average Joe & Jill, CANNOT. #BTC is quite possibly the most empowering monetary technology in human history, and that's largely because ANYONE can fully possess it in its most pristine form. Any and all attempts to limit self-custody and encumber decentralization are affronts to the liberation, fairness, and freedom that Bitcoin allows for. Our financial system is wildly & increasingly inequitable because of excessive centralization & manipulation by the powerful. #Bitcoin is reversing that. Sen. Warren & other naysayers, DIG DEEPER!!! โ€”Why is The Human Right Foundation @HRF pouring into Bitcoin? (@gladstein @ck_SNARKs) โ€”Why is a passionate progressive & high school math teacher like @cjasonmaier pouring into Bitcoin? โ€”Why are we (& others like @beiwatch & @workforcebtc), as career #firefighters/paramedics with a deep passion for the #MiddleClass, pouring into Bitcoin? โ€”Why is a former military pilot & West Point grad with a deep understanding of financial markets like @PrestonPysh pouring into Bitcoin?

The WRS, its investment board, board of trustees and staff are not afraid of meaningful conversations on new and innovative ideas. 8 months ago, a few board members, were featured guests on the Nakamoto Gauntlet, a show exploring ways Bitcoin can positively impact pension funds. This was before the Spot #Bitcoin ETF was approved.

The WRS is a well-funded, well run pension. At a near 99% funded status in 2023 (meaning the pensions assets equate to 99% of the pensions overall liabilities) the WRS is not in a desperate situation. Quite the opposite, they are nearly fully funded and incredibly healthy. Now even stronger with a #Bitcoin allocation
