About Us and Our Goal
We started our journey down the rabbit hole in 2015 and continue to be amazed by how this creature called bitcoin evolves.
Our goal is as simple as getting bitcoin into every home and contributing as much as we can to this Peaceful Revolution.
What We Do
We import all the most important and best products that a true bitcoiner needs.
We strengthen the Norwegian energy grid through demand response and incentivize increased production.
We support the spread and availability through our webshop, in addition to contributing to other causes,

Why Bitcoin
Freedom
Bitcoin gives freedom by enabling you to transfer unlimited value at the speed of light around the world.
Bitcoin provides security because no one can steal it from you.
Bitcoin is the alternative to what we see now: increasing centralization and control over money, moving towards CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency).
This will necessarily lead to mass surveillance, selective censorship, and thus more control over people's activities.
There is a good reason why the Human Rights Foundation and the Anti-Corruption Foundation mostly use Bitcoin.
Due to centralized money, these organizations cannot transfer funds between themselves, and bitcoin is essential to their work.
Localism
With a Bitcoin standard, small businesses can better compete against large giants by leveling the playing field for capital costs.
With fiat, large players get better loans, and thus we trend towards centralization of capital. Bitcoin in a free market creates a true interest rate, equal for all.
The Cantillon effect, which drives much corruption and bad incentives to get closer to the money printing press, will cease.
This will give more autonomy and self-governance to local communities, as they are not as dependent on deposits from the money printing press.
Under fiat, you are punished for saving, while under Bitcoin you are rewarded for saving.
Saving should give you security for the future. Money should be able to absorb unforeseen events and create stability.
Without saving, both bad and good times will become more extreme, leading to volatile business cycles.
But who will save when the value of saving is guaranteed to decrease?
Saving teaches people patience and lower time preference.
Environment
Natural environment:
Most "green" energy sources are intermittent, such as hydro, solar, and wind.
For these to be profitable, they must be able to sell as much of their production as possible.
The problem for these is that demand cannot follow the weather.
They need flexible and constant buyers in the background to be profitable.
Proof-of-work mining is about the pursuit of energy without buyers.
Human environment:
Bitcoin makes it possible to save value, to postpone leisure and pleasures into the future, without the threat of manipulation in the savings medium.
This means less consumption.
Bitcoin reduces class differences by canceling the Cantillon effect.
With a money printing press, those closest to the money printing press benefit the most from newly printed money.
While those at the bottom of the socio-economic food chain who do not have investments only lose as their few savings are devalued.
Energy
Bitcoin decentralizes and diversifies the energy grid.
Bitcoin improves the economics of all energy sources.
By improving the economics for producers, we will produce more, distribute better, and create a more robust and secure energy grid.
The only way to be anti-energy is to be anti-human.
Energy is the most basic necessity for any civilization.
Future of Humanity
In Bitcoin circles, you often hear the saying "fix the money, fix the world".
There are many good reasons for this;
Human well-being is strongly correlated with energy consumption. Energy protects and drives us.
Bitcoin provides banking opportunities to everyone around the world.
Bitcoin does not discriminate, Bitcoin does not censor, everyone is equal in Bitcoin's eyes.
Only a small portion of the world's population has a cheap, functioning, and trustworthy bank that gives them the ability to save and protect their values for the future.
With an un-manipulable and hard currency standard like Bitcoin, bad actors cannot deprive people of their values by devaluing the currency, i.e. inflation.
Bitcoin makes war financing extremely difficult.
If you have a money printing press, you can finance a war until either people revolt or run out of money.
By printing money, or practically; taking loans from the central bank, central banks create more money ex-nihilo, which increases the money supply and gradually devalues the existing ones.
Under a hard currency standard, the state must obtain approval from the people via increased taxes or the sale of financial instruments.
This is a direct way for the people to vote with their money.
With a soft currency, a government can gradually devalue the entire population's wallet to finance its selective agendas or wars.
The books "Check Your Financial Privilege" and "Hidden Repression" by Alex Gladstein from the Human Rights Foundation are good resources for the moral side of bitcoin.
