🌟 It's #12for12 donation time again! Grab your sunnies and get ready to be dazzled by the two extraordinary organisations we're thrilled to support this July! 🌞 🚂 @GGRailway GROUDLE GLEN RAILWAY 🚂: a treasured gem run passionately by volunteers, this charity works tirelessly…

Apple aren't always the good guys, but they rightly refused to add government backdoors to their services. @OpenRightsGroup need donations to join the appeal, representing ordinary tech users' rights to encryption, security and privacy. Donate at action.openrightsgroup.org/make-our-voice…

🌟 It's Time for June's #12for12 Donation! 🌟 We're thrilled to support two phenomenal organizations that are close to our hearts this month! 🏗 QUEEN'S PIER RESTORATION TRUST is making waves right here in the Isle of Man, braving the wild Manx weather to breathe new life into…

That's it for @BTCPrague 2025. What an amazing conference. See you next year!

I thought that us at @Bittylicious_ were OGs, with the founder learning about #bitcoin in 2012. But this guy, @DominicFrisby has to be an OOG - his magic date is 2010, when bitcoin was under a quid! Also, we're in his book [smug mode engaged]

Excellent to see most panelists at @BTCPrague agreeing that self-custody is essential, and there's nothing better than hardware wallets. However, we think you should be using self-custody from day one. We think it's too easy to get complacent relying on others to custody your…

After party at @BarNumberSeven who to their absolute credit are a #Bitcoin OG bar having accepted Bitcoin since 2013, the same year we were founded. With near unlimited pizzas provided by @JoinSatlantis

Day one finished with some truly amazing talks! Brilliant conference @BTCPrague The vibrancy here jars with the UK being long left behind in the #bitcoin space thanks to repeated, terrible policy decisions. Nobody mentions the UK any more, apart from out of embarrassment.

At @BTCPrague and @jackmallers gives us this very important reminder: government debt (i.e. printing money) is stealing from future generations. The fiat experiment is rapidly approaching an explosive end, and is ethically unsound.

A talk on custody, which is core to Bittylicious. So much so, that we don't even let you trust us with your coins. You always need your OWN wallet first. "Noone is young enough to learn self custody. It's not rocket science" and "You cannot prioritise convenience" from Tony…

We're at @BTCPrague 2025 for the best #bitcoin conference in the world. Look out, as always, for the people with black caps with the red "B" logo.

Relevant off topic post! Our UK members will almost certainly have heard of @bitcoinpolicyuk They are an organisation of 14 unpaid volunteers that are working extremely hard to improve the legal and regulatory landscape in the UK for bitcoin. In order to keep doing this they need…

RBS / NatWest bank really are sensitive souls! A customer tried to send a payment to us, but the reference (randomly generated) began with the letters "B", "U" and "M". They refused to have anything to do with such crudeness! #ohmydays

Our first #12for12 May donations go to... 🥁 🌊 Beach Buddies and 💡 Bitcoin Policy UK Beach Buddies: Leading the charge with incredible mass beach clean-ups right here in the Isle of Man, ensuring our shores stay pristine and beautiful. beachbuddies.org.im @bitcoinpolicyuk…

Welcome to #12for12, our Bitty birthday drive to give a little back to our communities, both physical and virtual. So here's how it works... Every month for a year, we will split a £1000 donation between two awesome organisations who really give it their all. One…

Happy 12th Birthday, Bittylicious! 🎉 We're spreading the love all year long with "12 Months, 12 Causes: Bittylicious Gives Back"! Let's make a difference each month as we celebrate with purpose 💙 #BittyliciousGivesBack #12For12

We've just made the detection of incoming bank transfers a whole 30 seconds quicker!⏱️We're really spoiling our lovely Bitties, aren't we! (for the technically inclined, we converted a small step of our payment process from polling to pushing/notifications)

Friendly reminder that #bitcoin transactions across the whole network will be paused for a few days due to the Easter Holidays. ^ Imagine if bitcoin were like traditional finance, still living in the 90s. connexionfrance.com/practical/bank…

Superb news that the UK government's request to have access to everybody's Apple data at least has to be heard in public. We are at the dystopian crossroad where privacy is no longer a right, and don't even get us started on financial freedoms. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Phishing can happen to the best of us. If this can happen to @troyhunt, this can happen to anyone else. It just takes a small lapse of concentration, in this case tiredness. Always take a few seconds to think before clicking any links in any email.
