I’ve listened to the talks from the Muslim Bitcoin Summit (nprofile…5ml5) and honestly, I’m overwhelmed with emotion. This is what a real Bitcoin conference feels like. Not a room obsessed with price, speculation, or building shitcoins around Bitcoin, but people discussing something far more fundamental: money, justice, freedom, and our responsibility as Muslims.
What moved me most was the sincerity of the discussions. The panels spoke from the heart, grounded in the conviction that a monetary system built on riba, debt, and the expansion of fiat money is something we must seriously question. Bitcoin wasn’t discussed as a ticket to get rich, but as a tool that could help us move towards a more honest, transparent, and sovereign monetary system.
As Muslims, we have a reason to look beyond the price of Bitcoin. We must ask what kind of money we use, what system we participate in, and whether it aligns with the principles we believe in. Hearing these conversations among people who understand both Bitcoin and the moral questions surrounding money was deeply moving.
And what stayed with me most was the humility. After all the knowledge, arguments, and discussions, there was an acknowledgment that the outcome is not entirely in our hands. If Allah permits, this change will happen. Our responsibility is to seek the truth, do the work, and remain steadfast.
For once, the conversation wasn’t about how much Bitcoin would be worth tomorrow. It was about why a better monetary system matters in the first place.
We are not here merely to become rich in a broken system. We are here to build the foundations of a better one.
