BNI – Bitcoin Network Ireland – Bitcoin Network Ireland

Why Bitcoin Matters To Ireland

Below are four areas in which Bitcoin the digital asset and digital network can be beneficial for the country and people of Ireland.

Value Preservation

Due to its ever expanding supply, the Euro no longer serves as a prudent store of value. Bitcoin in contrast has a fixed supply of coins, intended to preserve wealth over time.

Financial Sovereignty

Bitcoin is a bearer asset, meaning that it isn’t credit, or a claim to money. Rather it itself is the money which can be transacted and stored without censorship or confiscation.

Business and Commerce

We believe an open-minded approach to Bitcoin will prove to be one of the most important decisions businesses and countries can make to improve payments and fight inflation.

Energy and Climate

Bitcoin mining offers energy providers a reliable buyer and additional revenue stream regardless of their location. It also benefits renewable energy development and grid stability.
