Bitcoin Whitepaper Day marks 18 years since Satoshi Nakamoto published a nine-page proposal for peer-to-peer electronic cash. More than a technical innovation, Bitcoin introduced a monetary system based on transparency, scarcity, and verification over trust. For many, including those seeking alternatives to debt-based finance and riba, it remains a compelling vision of sound digital money.
The unofficial playbook: how we ran MBS26 London for under £15k. We ran a two-day international conference in London on a budget most organisers would laugh at. Four months, ten volunteers, no organisation behind us, and not a penny of corporate sponsorship. Here's exactly how we did it.
"Bitcoin for financial sovereignty" sounds like a story about somewhere else. Lebanon, Turkey, Pakistan. If you live in the UK it's tempting to file it under not my problem. It is your problem. It just looks different here.
People hear "Muslim Bitcoin Summit" and picture a room of price charts and someone shilling a coin. That's not this event. Here's what it actually is.
Is £50–70 actually a good deal for MBS26? We compared it to Bitcoin 2026, Bitcoin Amsterdam, and MIT Bitcoin Expo — and looked at what makes this event genuinely one-of-a-kind. Full breakdown below 👇 #MBS26London
Muslim Bitcoin Summit, London — Oct 10–11. The Anti-Riba Money Conference. A landmark, non-profit, community‑funded gathering exploring sound money through Prophetic economics.
The Muslim Bitcoin Summit brings together scholars, charities, and Islamic‑finance leaders to explore how sound, riba‑free money can strengthen Muslim communities worldwide. It’s a chance for organisations to understand Bitcoin’s role in transparent zakat distribution, censorship‑resistant aid, ethical wealth preservation, and Shariah‑aligned financial innovation. This is where Islamic values meet financial sovereignty — and where the future of Muslim economic empowerment is being shaped.
Young Muslims should attend the Muslim Bitcoin Summit in London to gain the knowledge, tools, and community to navigate a world shaped by ribā and inflation. The event unites scholars, educators, and builders teaching sound money and ethical finance rooted in Islamic values — a rare chance to learn, connect, and help build a fairer economic future.
Bitcoin is Money — not a billboard. BIP110 restores Bitcoin’s purpose as a peer‑to‑peer monetary network by curbing data spam, tightening consensus safety, and keeping node operation affordable for everyone. It’s a temporary, reversible safeguard that protects decentralization, efficiency, and neutrality — ensuring Bitcoin remains sound, sovereign money rather than a playground for arbitrary data.
Bitcoin Is Halal is a bold, accessible introduction to Bitcoin for Muslim families, students, and professionals seeking clarity without complexity. Through the story of siblings Ali and Layla, the book transforms difficult ideas—money, decentralisation, scarcity, self‑custody—into simple, memorable lessons. It also delivers one of the clearest faith‑aligned explanations of Bitcoin available today, showing how its core design resonates with Islamic principles of fairness, transparency, and true ownership. Engaging, practical, and rooted in values, Bitcoin Is Halal is the perfect starting point for anyone exploring digital money through a lens of faith and integrity.
A clear, uncompromising look at how modern money quietly institutionalises usury — and why Bitcoin’s neutral, non‑debt monetary rails offer the first real path out of the Riba‑based financial order.
Muslim women should attend the Muslim Bitcoin Summit because Bitcoin offers them halal financial sovereignty, protection from exploitation, and a powerful role in shaping the economic future of the ummah.
In 121 days, London will host a landmark gathering: the first‑ever Muslim Bitcoin Summit — a space where scholars, builders, and the local community come together to confront ribā, reclaim economic dignity, and explore how Bitcoin can serve the 2‑billion‑strong Muslim world facing inflation, instability, and financial exclusion.
A powerful reminder that understanding money, privacy, and cypherpunk tools transforms passive users into free, intentional actors in a world built to keep them ignorant.
