It is the very ethos of Bitcoin Beans, it was born to serve the Bitcoin community, to bring the highest grade medicinal food to the US, and help facilitate the journey of Bitcoin from simply store of value to its true purpose as money.
Sadly i have to cover significant costs which are denomiated in USD, DHL being the big one, so to cover those costs and ensure i at least reach break even in the backgroun the price is quoted in USD, so yes the sats prices moves a lot, but as we know when we price in BTC, overtime, things get cheaper!! i can't wait for that day that the price of your cacao in sats is less than what you pay today!! must be coming soon right!!
Yes and no. It is a very senstive tree, it does require an incredible amount of attention to keep them healthy. Given the right soil and conditions and tree can grow incredibly fast, this is great but also brings with it the neccesity to prune and shape the tree so that air can flow through its branches and its shape is easy to work with when harvestingh, i.e. not too big and tall. It resoponds incredibly well to pruning, which means it shouts many new branches which will also need to be cut. Its a magical tree. I love working with her because it really requires close attention. I like this level of intimac with my trees. I feel like i know each of them. Also, in humid climates are is a fungal disease that if not rectified quickly can spread throughout a whole cacao plantation and wipe out future production, so regular inspection for this fungus is really important. But at the same time, this is all just part of taking care and doing what i love so i can't say it is difficult to grow. Maybe what is most complex is managing the space in a way that gives good, healthy and tasty yeilds. Composting well, understanding the trees needs and applying the right fertilizers at the right time is a process of learning.
We are very blessed that our two farmers that we buy from are Bitcoiners and thus we pay them in Bitcoin. Without them there would be no Bitcoin Beans.
I see the correlation between Bitcoin and Permaculture as the same, so its easy for farmers to understand the essence of Bitcoin. Mainly through the principle of capturing and storing energy, it makes sense to a farmer.
Its a slow grind, education is difficult, the penny has not dropped in the campos! Just need to keep building and transacting just as it was intended, bringing amazing products to market, giving Bitcoiners out there the chance to live this alternate reality! We are living a very special moment in time, it deserves high class cacao products to celebrate our successes! Thank you!
Great to be here, and yes we would love to be a part of your amazing marketplace. I shall follow the isntructions and get involved! Thank you!
The people are talking Oshi!! I plan on getting caramalised nibs to SC depot in the next shipment. Lets keep it just on here as a little secret for now, but these Nibs will be caramlised in Indegnous panela, straight from the source, not from any old market or shop but direct from a beutiful family who make their own panela! Different level PoW, worthy of a place on a jar of Hodl Butter! Just some thoughts, just some data to put in the information bank for possiblitities and probabilities!
Yeah man they are insane, they pack a punch, and then the texture goes so well with so many things. I love them sprinckled on a smoothy bowl. I'm nudging Oshi pretty regularly for a Hodl Butter with Bitcoin Beans caramlised nibs!! If you make the request he may just bend the knee!
The old school and most commonly used aparatus! @1GLENCoop is a very fancy guy!
Thank you so much for the anmazing feedback and photos @1GLENCoop , very very happy to hear you have been converted from industrial grade chocolate to the real stuff! Its a really important distinction to make... Cacao is not candy! We are not comparing like for like, they are two very different thigs. I direct you to our recent Cacao Truth Series posts on Nostr but in essence one is industrial fiat poison and the other is medicine, a health food that has been scientifically proven to improve mood and well being, reduce inflamation and aging, and improve the health of the heart amonsgt many other things. And to top it off, it can be purchased with Bitcoin!! A wee favour, could i ask that you post this feedback on Nostr for us, this would be ever so helpful. Thank you, and keep up your daily dose, 20grams a day is healthy dose. See our website http://www.bitcoinbeans.co/proofofdeliciousness for recipe ideas.
Its amazing how many people are enjoying our cacao with coffee. Really cool! So the ground nibs is a great way to do it, and equally just to melt some straight off the block and add to your pre made coffee, then give it a good wizz in the blender for a smooth mix. A word of advice though, 100% cacao has an active chemical very very similar to caffein and if you add the two together be prepared for a very potent mix! Personally i would recommend to give the cacao its own space, to try it in its purest form, with a natural sweetner that you like and any milk if you wish (blend it up), to get to know how cacao on its own works in your body. You will be quite amazed as to the energetic and mood altering benefits of a cup of cacao a day. Enjoy!
Thank you so much for the anazing feedback on our single origin cacao, La Reserva, from Santander, Colombia. We are very proud to work alongside our original permaculture teachers Marlon and Paola, our beloved friends, knowing their farm intimately having spent over 8 years working the land there with them. This cacao holds all that precious Proof of Work. Literally 7 years of devotion to bring this harvest to market. It truly is a majestic farm, looked after deligently and lovingly by the guardians day in day out, and there is no doubt in our miunds that this cacao holds all that love and care, its not diluted out in some barbaric industrial process. Thank you fort sharing on here. Could i request that you post this feedback on Nostr as well please, that would be super helpful.
