Trams and major landmarks near Hong Kong’s famed banks will feature Bitcoin ads until October 8, courtesy of an initiative by a local Bitcoin non-profit.

The Bitcoin Association of Hong Kong (BAHK), a non-profit that holds meetups and promotes the use of Bitcoin in the city, is using community donations to advertise the “risks and merits of Bitcoin” via billboard ads at some areas with high footfall in Hong Kong.
“More U.S. Dollars have been printed in 2020 than were in existence in 2009. There will only ever be 21 million Bitcoin,” reads one ad, pointing to the incessant money printing in the US that has led to fears of widespread inflation in the country.
#Bitcoin ads are right in front of #HSBC headquarters in #HongKong - is this a challenge or another step forward for finanical inclusiveness? pic.twitter.com/ywPXY3x7wV

The BAHK said, in a release, “We hope the campaign will give us the opportunity to discuss how Bitcoin fits into a quickly digitizing global economy, the opportunities and dangers of drastic technological advancements, and the implications of digital, verifiable scarcity.”
Despite the year-long protests that have rocked Hong Kong, and the accompanying political instability, there's no sign of major capital flight out of the territory in either fiat or crypto to date. Data from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, the city’s central bank, shows that as of May 2020 (the latest data available) the money supply edged up slightly while loans moved down. The authority said such fluctuations are well within “normal” ranges that correlate with regional trends in interest ra...
Carrying the Bitcoin message will be three double-decker trams—which carry over 200,000 passengers every day—and billboards near various bank headquarters, such as the HSBC, Standard Chartered, in the bank district of Chater Garden.
Despite the boldness of the move, the ads are no promotion for BAHK. Instead, they are strictly educational and even come with an attached tongue-in-cheek warning, “Your Bitcoin is your responsibility. There will be no bailouts or quantitative easing. You can verify the total supply of Bitcoin with your home computer on the blockchain.”
Leo Weese, the co-founder of the BAHK, told Decrypt the move helps drive conversation around Bitcoin in the city, one that’s marred with political instability in recent times.
Weeks after Jimmy Lai, the outspoken China critic and founder of Hong Kong tabloid Apple Daily, was arrested (and later released on bail) by authorities in Hong Kong—as part of the ongoing tussle over the controversial security law—his paper delivered a political statement involving Bitcoin. “Bitcoin will never ditch you,” said the full-page ad on the front page of Apple Daily. It further added in Cantonese, “Banks, it’s not you ditching me today. It’s me ditching you.” Today’s full-page ad on...
“There are quite a few people very enthusiastic about Bitcoin who would want to talk more about it. The ads give a good conversation starter and generally elevate the topic in public perception,” said Weese. He added that the team does not expect any backlash from the local governments or the banks for placing the ads.
Hong Kong’s no stranger to Bitcoin ads. Last month, the city’s Apple Daily newspaper took out a full-page Bitcoin ad after its founder Jimmy Lai was arrested for allegedly speaking against Chinese influence in the city.
But will Hong Kong take note?
The World Food Program USA is now accepting donations in more than 80 cryptocurrencies. That includes the likes of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDC, but also allows for donations in ApeCoin, BONK, and Dogecoin. The partnership is part of WFP USA's wider ambitions to raise $25 million through the Emergency Hunger Relief Fund—and plug gaps in initiatives "that provide lifelong assistance to 58 million people on the brink of starvation." This nonprofit was established in 1995—and while it has close ties...
Amid recent Bitcoin losses and volatility, more than a quarter—26%—of the Bitcoin supply is now “underwater,” meaning it is worth less than what it was purchased for. This marks a stark reversal of fortunes for investors in recent months, according to data collected by market analysis tool CryptoQuant. On December 15, only 0.015% of the BTC supply was “underwater,” meaning only a very slim percentage of BTC held was without an unrealized gain for investors. As recently as January 18, the percent...
Cybersecurity firm Kasperky has discovered a malware which tricks victims into sending attackers their crypto by replacing trusted wallet addresses on a users' clip board. The malware is being distributed under the guise of Microsoft Office Add-Ins on the SourceForge website. In reality, alternate links are being used to install this malware and infiltrate crypto wallets. The coding appears to be in Russian with an expected 90% of potential victims in Russia, Kaspersky researchers wrote in a pos...
