The Truth Behind Cuba’s Bitcoin Revolution: Video

Cointelegraph’s latest documentary takes viewers to Cuba, the land of classic cars, communism, hyperinflation and Bitcoin.

Cuba, a country known for its unique blend of rich history, vibrant culture and political isolation, is the focus of Cointelegraph’s latest on-the-ground documentary. The Truth Behind Cuba’s Bitcoin Revolution explores Bitcoin’s (BTC) impact in one of the world’s last remaining communist states. 

The documentary provides a firsthand account of how Cubans are using Bitcoin to navigate challenging economic circumstances, attract new businesses and save money in a censorship-heavy environment.

Journalist and Bitcoin enthusiast Joe Hall embarked on the journey to Cuba, determined to witness and capture the “Bitcoin revolution” that gained prominence in Alex Gladstein’s book Check Your Financial Privilege. Gladstein explains how Cubans have harnessed Bitcoin’s stateless, low-fee nature to escape financial oppression and secure their savings.

The documentary explores how Bitcoin has taken root in the Cuban financial landscape, brought to life through interviews and interactions with Cubans, as well as the co-founders of the “Cuba Bitcoin” community — Forte, Catrya and Bitalion (not their real names). Paco de la India, a regular Cointelegraph contributor, traveled with Hall and provides feedback and commentary throughout the documentary.

Bitcoin users in Cuba primarily engage in peer-to-peer transactions, buying and selling Bitcoin through Telegram and Signal groups. They run nodes with limited resources and evade online surveillance and access banned internet sites with VPNs.

Unlike many countries, Cuba is devoid of centralized crypto exchanges such as Coinbase or Binance. Plus, Cubans are banned from creating accounts due to the country’s poor diplomatic relations with the United States.

Consequently, the environment for Bitcoin in Cuba is a unique ecosystem that operates almost entirely outside of the reach of the state. Moreover, the resilient Bitcoin community is set against a backdrop of economic hardship. Seventy-two percent of Cubans live below the poverty line, and while the minimum monthly wage is approximately $30, Catrya — one of the documentary’s main characters — explains that it is closer to $13.

Cuba’s economic hardships are exacerbated by hyperinflation, with the Cuban peso losing more than 940% of its value in the last two years. Through testimonials and interviews with Cubans across Havana, it’s clear that Bitcoin has emerged as a lifeline for those looking to protect their savings from currency devaluation.

The documentary captures the grassroots adoption of Bitcoin in Cuba. It also highlights the efforts of the humble Cuba Bitcoin community, who spend their time educating and propagating the principles of Bitcoin to Cubans in an environment where the consequences of their actions are uncertain.

Ultimately, as Bitcoin continues to gain traction in Cuba, it remains to be seen how the government will react to the emergence of a parallel financial system. The Truth Behind Cuba’s Bitcoin Revolution provides a rare glimpse into a nation on the cusp of transformative change. Bitcoin could offer Cubans a glimmer of hope and freedom on an island where such aspirations have been long suppressed.

Iman Europe and The Agenda chat mental health, music, Web3 and The Homies DAO

Musician and The Homies DAO founder Iman Europe sat down with The Agenda podcast to discuss how her Web3-based project promotes wellness among music workers.

Talk to any musician who has “made it,” and they’ll say that achieving fame is both a gift and a curse. While success in entertainment can obviously bring many positives, it also carries the pressure to stay relevant, the worry of constantly needing to stay connected to fans, and the loss of freedom and privacy that comes with being a regular Joe — all of which can be utterly exhausting. Add a jam-packed events schedule that robs artists of the time to detox and socialize, and fame begins to look like just as much a burden as it may be a blessing.

On the flip side, those aspiring to break through and finally go mainstream deal with the pressure of an uphill climb and the potential outcome that after all the struggle, there might not be a light at the end of the tunnel.

For this reason, mental health, wellness and feeling like one is plugged into a community are things all creators need to allocate time to, and The Homies DAO is focused on just that.

On Episode 17 of The Agenda podcast, hosts Ray Salmond and Jonathan DeYoung speak with singer and The Homies DAO founder Iman Europe about how the collective is using Web3 to bring artists together to focus on wellbeing.

A safe space for artists to breathe, relax and socialize

During the conversation, Europe detailed how lonely being a musician can feel and how difficult it can be to maintain social connections, given that sometimes it seems like family members are constantly hitting you up for money and perks, and strangers you connect with might have the ulterior motive of getting special benefits thanks to their new-found friend’s fame.

“I know a lot of artists felt very burnt out last year and felt like they couldn’t find their footing oftentimes because everything was moving so fast in Web3,” she said. “And so I saw the need for wellness in the space, and I also was needing it. I was juggling being an artist and the head of artist relations of Sound.xyz, and it was a lot. They were two full-time jobs, and I wasn’t making enough time for myself and my wellness, and I saw the effects of that.”

This inspired Europe to found The Homies DAO. “When I got to the end of the year, I knew I wanted to focus this year on wellness more and on being able to give that back to myself and also creating space for artists to do the same.”

When asked about the type of wellness and community activities Homies DAO members could participate in, Europe mentioned that the decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) provides a safe space and community where creators participating in the music industry can socialize, unwind, meditate, work out and engage in activity that offers a sense of community.

“We’re hosting our first event at the end of this month, the Homies Hangout, where we’ll have different forms of wellness. So it’ll be physical wellness — we’ll start with exercise, riding the bikes and spinning. This will be hosted at Burn Cycling. So we’ll start off with that, and then we’ll take a break and then come back for a sound bath, which is spiritual wellness. And then we’ll do some affirmations, and we’ll have someone come in and lead a group therapy session where we can all kind of talk together and talk about mental wellness and different resources to bettering that.”

As for the DAO’s future plans, “We plan to do a few things like monthly meetups like that, but also monthly meetups online where we’re able to just check in with each other and just have a space for that,” said Europe, adding:

“We later plan to do like educational content and just creating different content to bring more people on-chain. We want to create and mint projects through our DAO with the artists, maybe based around wellness. And our hopes are later to expand to offline retreats for artists, artist residencies.”

The Homies aims to put the focus on people instead of the pursuit of profit

Like a handful of the other crypto and Web3-focused DAOs in the space, The Homies DAO also has a nonfungible token (NFT) collection, with holders entitled to DAO membership and various other perks. Generally, projects with tokens or NFTs also have to contend with price speculators and NFT investors who don’t contribute anything to the project.

On the matter, Europe said, “I didn’t want to make this speculative. I wanted to make this more so of a community. They are limited. I think we’ll only have 500 members total right now.”

When asked why she’s not currently concerned with floor prices, increasing the collective’s size, or even partnering with blue-chip projects, Europe replied:

“We’ll only have 500 because we really want to know each other, and we’re really trying to build a community, not just like a project. I think that’s the difference between a DAO and a project, is you want as many people to be on it as possible. But I think when we think of wellness, it is an intimate thing. And sometimes when you make it more about like clout and, I don’t know, speculation, it loses its truth, and it loses its power to really do what we want to do in this wellness.”

Crypto users react to death of Shiba Inu behind viral memes

The 12-year-old dog had appeared in memes with Dogecoin's own inspiration, the Shiba Inu named Kabosu, including ‘Swole Doge vs. Cheems’.

Cheems Balltze, the dog behind viral images of the Shiba Inu enjoying cheeseburgers, died in his sleep on Aug. 18 amid a battle with cancer. 

The dog, also called “Ball Ball”, was 12 years old at the time of his death. The Shiba Inu breed in particular is famous among cryptocurrency users as the basis of tokens like Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Dogecoin (DOGE), pushed by retail investors as well as high-profile figures like X CEO Elon Musk.

“Don’t be sad, please remember the joy that Balltze brought to the world,” said an Aug. 18 post on Cheems’ Instagram page. “A Shiba Inu with a round smiling face connecting you and me, he has helped many people during the pandemic and brought a lot of joy to many of you, but now his mission has completed.”

A different dog from Kabosu — the one featured in the meme on which Dogecoin was based — Cheems also appeared in shared images with the DOGE dog, such as in the meme ‘Swole Doge vs. Cheems’. Kabosu is expected to celebrate his 18th birthday in October but has also been experiencing significant health issues. The Doge meme went viral in 2013, prompting the creation of the token the same year by Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer.

Satoshi-era Bitcoin awakens – 1005 BTC mined in 2010 on the move

1,005 BTC valued at $29 million have been moved from an old Bitcoin wallet after 13 years, drawing parallels to recent dormant BTC movements.

A Bitcoin (BTC) wallet containing 1,005 BTC mined in 2010 has reawakened, with an anonymous user moving the long dormant coins to new addresses in a number of different transactions.

Speaking exclusively to Cointelegraph, blockchain researcher, developer and cryptocurrency trader Kirill Kretov weighed in on the event after initially flagging the movement of the BTC which was mined just a year after Bitcoin’s inception.

Cointelegraph independently verified the details of the wallet using blockchain data from Blockchair. According to the wallet statement, the 1,005 BTC was valued at just $328 when it was received on 2010. The coins are valued at over $29 million at the time of publication. 

The wider cryptocurrency community also took note of the BTC awakening, with some questioning whether Bitcoin’s pseudonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto was moving coins:

Kretov told Cointelegraph that it was unlikely that Bitcoin’s creator was quietly moving virgin BTC, suggesting that a long term holder or entity associated with previous dormant Bitcoin awakenings was behind the transaction. The researcher added that the holder could be selling Bitcoin in an over the counter transaction:

“I may expect the price to be higher than the current market because these are 100% clean Bitcoins. Not to mention how old they are which makes them especially attractive to crypto-numismatics.”

Kretov believes that the wallet could be controlled by the same user that had previously moved Bitcoin from wallets in 13 different instances between 2020 and 2021. According to the researcher, this involved 13 awakenings, each of 1000 BTC (from 20 wallets containing 50 mined BTC amounting to 13,000 BTC.

Kretov also noted that his research archives, which monitor a large number of virgin Bitcoin wallets in the immediate years after Bitcoin’s inception, have only flagged three other awakenings of 1000 Bitcoin or more.

This included a first instance, where 1000 Bitcoin from two wallets mined in 2011 were moved in December 2021. In April 2023, 1000 BTC mined in 2011 was moved from a single wallet before another 1037 BTC were moved from a wallet dating back to 2012 in July 2023.

“Those BTC from 2011 and 2012 and the sources of funds are different - not freshly mined coins. So the present awakening is much closer to those 13 instances.”

As Cointelegraph recently reported, another dormant BTC wallet holding over 1,037 coins was transferred to a new address. The BTC had been obtained in April 2012 at an estimated value of $5100, while its total value when it was moved in 2023 was around $31 million.

Prime Trust bankruptcy spotted by crypto community months ahead

Months before Prime Trust filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, online sleuths in the crypto community were on the case and continue to follow the money.

Crypto custodian Prime Trust filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the United States state of Delaware on Aug. 14 after reporting shortfalls in customer funds. Prime Trust said it’s working with 25,000 to 50,000 creditors and has liabilities of up to $500 million. 

Although the news of the company’s financial instability broke mid-way through August, members of the crypto community months had already flagged the company’s shaky position weeks before the filing.

On June 27, the business regulator in the state of Nevada issued a cease and desist order to Prime Trust after it alleged the custodian had a shortfall of customer funds and couldn’t honor customer withdrawals.

Cryptocurrency exchanges BitGo and CoinMetro posted on X (formerly Twitter) about service disruptions at the hands of Prime Trust during that time period.

Members of the crypto community immediately responded to these updates, with one user claiming Prime Trust was “going bust” on June 22.

Although recent events suggest that community members’ concerns were correct, on June 22, the founder and CEO of CoinMetro, Kevin Murcko, said in direct response to the posts that he wouldn’t count on “insolvency” for Prime Trust just yet. 

Others responded to the conversation and called Prime Trust a “Ponzi scheme” or mocked the idea of the halt on withdrawals being “temporary.” 

And, following reports that the crypto custodian had filed for bankruptcy, one user resurrected another community member’s post that had signaled Prime Trust’s difficulties almost two months ahead of the news in June:

After the official news of Prime Trust’s bankruptcy broke, the internet crypto community began to voice new suspicions.

On Aug. 14, one user called out the financial service provider Fold — which issues Bitcoin (BTC) rewards debit cards and operates a Bitcoin-backed shopping app — for its choice to switch to the custodian Fortress back in June when Prime Trust began to show signs of instability. 

Fold asked users to agree to “Fortress Account” terms in its notice of switching custodians. The user pointed out that Fortress Trust was created by the same person who set up Prime Trust.

Prime Trust was founded in 2016 by the entrepreneur Scott Purcell, who left the company in 2021. That same year, Purcell created Fortress Trust, with rumors surfacing that he no longer held any equity in Prime. 

At the time of Prime Trust’s initial troubles in June, prior to the bankruptcy, Purcell commented that Fortress had no exposure to his former company.

Aside from Fold, Fortress also acts as a custodian for the fiat on-ramp Coast and the automated investment app Soon — among others. 

Over the last year, the crypto space has been plagued with bankruptcies. The list of troubled companies includes FTX and Celsius, as well as Prime Trust and its payment subsidiary Banq, which also filed for bankruptcy on June 14.

Twitter Community Notes hits 44 countries as Elon Musk seeks ‘truth’ for X

Contributors from 44 countries are tasked with vetting the information being shared on posts that draw greater attention and are often subject to being picked up by mainstream media.

Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk’s Twitter (rebranded to X) added contributors from 18 new countries to ensure the accuracy of the information being shared on the platform. As a result, Community Notes — the information watchdog on X — now has contributors from 44 countries in total.

Ever since Musk’s acquisition of Twitter, the entrepreneur claims he has envisioned transforming the platform into an everything app, which involves eradicating misinformation and preventing scam accounts from operating openly. Following Twitter’s rebranding to X, Musk expedited the transformational drive, given the aggressive efforts made by Threads and TikTok clones to dominate the text-based social media realm.

Contributors from 44 countries are tasked with vetting the information being shared on posts that draw greater attention and are subject to being picked up by mainstream media. As part of the rebranding effort, the X app refrains from addressing itself as a social media platform and instead positions itself for “breaking news, entertainment, sports, politics and everything in between.”

“This platform aspires to be the best (or least bad) source of truth on the Internet,” said Musk when discussing the fact-checking system — Community Notes — on July 22.

Moreover, the entrepreneur made a user-centric decision by backtracking on his decision to permanently change the X user interface to a dark theme.

While X continues its aggressive attempts to reinvent itself, its biggest competition — Threads — introduced a new feature to resemble the original Twitter.

Worldcoin launch divides opinions – crypto community has its say

“What could go wrong?” Decentralized ID protocol Worldcoin has launched, receiving mixed takes from the cryptocurrency community.

The launch of blockchain-based digital passport platform Worldcoin has had a polarizing effect on the cryptocurrency community, with questions around its centralization, privacy and security highlighted.

Worldcoin released its protocol token on July 24, with major exchanges like Binance announcing support for the token. The project consists of a privacy-preserving digital identity (World ID) and its associated ecosystem token (WLD) which users receive upon creation of a wallet.

In order for users to join the ecosystem, they have to provide a scan of their iris through one of Worldcoin’s specialized Orb hardware devices. This step provides proof-of-personhood that is cryptographically secured and used as a World ID,  Worldcoin founders Alex Blania and Sam Altman wrote in a letter at launch.

“This lets you prove you are a real and unique person online while remaining completely private.”

The global digital passport is set to be stored locally on user's mobile devices and used to prove their identity in a privacy-centric manner. The concept aims for World IDs act as a “proof of personhood” that make use of zero-knowledge proofs (ZK-proofs) to protect the underlying data, including biometric, KYC and AML data.

Worldcoin will also enable users to “reserve” their respective IDs with a phone number in select countries, with an iris scan required to complete the process and receive a World ID. 

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin was among a number of industry figures to comment on the launch of Worldcoin, given the potential for biometric proof of personhood.

In a lengthy blog post unpacked by Cointelegraph, Buterin delved into the technicalities of proof of personhood blockchain protocols and the potential benefits and pitfalls of projects that are blazing a trail for the use case.

Buterin highlighted a key raison d'être for proof of personhood protocols in being able to prove human identity and be used to distribute universal basic income in the future.

“Worldcoin is unique in that it relies on highly sophisticated biometrics, scanning each user's iris using a piece of specialized hardware called "the Orb".”

As Buterin explains, Worldcoin Orbs are set to be distributed around the world to allow users to create their respective digital ID. He also highlighted privacy and security concerns around the Orb, design issues regarding its native token and some ethical concerns around whether biometrics “are a good ideal at all”.

“Risks include unavoidable privacy leaks, further erosion of people's ability to navigate the internet anonymously, coercion by authoritarian governments, and the potential impossibility of being secure at the same time as being decentralized.”

Twitter co-founder and Bitcoin proponent Jack Dorsey had one word to describe Blania and Altman’s “attempt at global scale alignment” that Worldcoin aims to deliver:

Bitcoin advocate Anita Posch also suggested that the centralized nature of the Worldcoin project and the amount of data it is managing could be a potential point of failure:

EthHub co-founder Anthony Sassano provided food for thought, suggesting that the likes of bankrupt FTX  and Three Arrows Capital (3AC) could refund all creditors with the appreciation of their early-stage investments in the Worldcoin project:

eToro founder Yoni Assia intimated that Worldcoin was emulating his own GoodDollars digital universal basic income platform:

As per Worldcoin's white paper documentation, the protocol was originally deployed on Polygon in its beta phase, while the current version runs on the Ethereum mainnet using a scalable batching architecture through layer 2 protocol Optimism. The project has over two millions users enrolled.

Arkham on-chain ‘Intel Exchange’ labeled ‘snitch-to-earn’ by Crypto Twitter

Users who shared links to a waitlist for the Arkham service had their email addresses exposed on Twitter due to how the references were encoded.

Arkham, a “blockchain intelligence company,” announced what it’s calling the “world’s first on-chain intelligence exchange” on July 10 alongside the launch of a new coin, ARKM, through Binance’s Launchpad service.

Crypto Twitter has had a predictably split response to the announcement, with negative sentiment surrounding Arkham’s purported mission to “deanonymize the blockchain” causing some ire. Chief among the complaints, many of which describe the company’s Intel Exchange as a “snitch-to-earn” or “snitching-as-a-service” program, involves Arkham's perceived role as a centralized intelligence agency.

As Arkham stated in its announcement thread, there are numerous positive use cases for the utilization of blockchain sleuths as information brokers. However, some experts are concerned about the potential for misuse that the exchange’s proposed business model appears to follow.

According to Arkham, users will be able to anonymously post and accept bounties for information concerning transactions on the blockchain. Once a bounty is completed, whatever entity paid out the bounty will have exclusive access to the data for a period of 90 days. Once the initial exclusivity period ends, Arkham says it will release the data to the public.

Other commenters wondered what considerations Arkham had given to the notion that a bounty marketplace could put a target on the backs of whales.

Alongside the announcements, Arkham’s been accused of leaking the email addresses of users who signed up for the company’s waitlist and then shared the link on social media.

Evidently, the web form encodes the user’s email address in simple BASE64. This makes it a trivial matter for someone to associate an email address with the Twitter account sharing the link, prompting at least some speculation that the encoding wasn’t an oversight. 

One Twitter user declared that the supposed "doxing” was intentional, adding that Arkham’s “whole goal is to dox (assuming the big players), and what easier way [than] making it easy to decode via ref link."

BTC Prague 2023: ‘Anyone can produce value in the Bitcoin ecosystem’

Wolf von Laer, the CEO of Students for Liberty, spoke with Cointelegraph about the nature of the Bitcoin community and the need for more openness.

Throughout recent years, the world of crypto has been subject to as much scrutiny and volatility as it has innovation and growth.

A significant component of the industry’s resilience has been the community that supports the technology and its utility to transform digital finance. One of the most prominent crypto communities in the space surrounds Bitcoin (BTC), with millions of users in Reddit groups and conferences across the globe.

At the Bitcoin Prague 2023 conference, Students for Liberty CEO Wolf Von Laer spoke with Cointelegraph about the nature of the Bitcoin community and how there is a place for anyone.

Von Laer says the Bitcoin community might not be “as welcoming,” as people at events can often come off too technical or even “hardcore.”

“I’ve seen people walk away and say, oh, this doesn’t seem like my tribe.”

“We need to be more self-reflective and mature,” he said. “If somebody wants to create a community, we need to be careful and ask do we know people that know Bitcoin? Can they explain Bitcoin well?”

Instead, von Laer stressed how everyone has the ability to contribute to the ecosystem and that the “openness of the network” is reflected in the opportunities for people to join the network.

“It’s a marvelous thing to realize how everyone actually can produce value within the Bitcoin ecosystem. Anyone can make a contribution.”

Others in the broader crypto industry have also spoken out on the importance of community within the space, especially in times of volatility or uncertainty.

Recently the new vice president of marketing at Binance spoke with Cointelegraph saying crypto needs to “double down” on community support.

During its fifth anniversary celebration, the team behind the EOS network used the moment to also highlight the importance of its community in light of its recent challenges.
