Play to Build: Your Bitcoin Culture Needs You

TLDR: The world needs Bitcoin more than ever - it's humanity's best hope for financial liberty. The BTC-believers must build the infrastructure needed to realise this vision. From memes to mechanisms, from code to content - if you see something missing in Bitcoin's future, build it. Your contribution, measured in Acre Points, will prove you were here when it mattered most.

The Builder's Call

Remember the magic internet money wizard? The bitcorn farmers? The HODL warriors? They didn't wait for permission. They saw gaps in Bitcoin culture and filled them. Now it's your turn.

But this time, we're building something bigger. Bitcoin's financial future needs proper infrastructure, and it's being shaped by those who show up first - those who commit their Bitcoin to the protocol, earning Acre Points that help foster the community.

The Foundation

More details on the Acre Points program are soon to come, but at its core it is simple and powerful:

Deposit Bitcoin and participate in the Acre’s growth
Points indicate protocol participation, which is needed for a strong community
Strong communities run strong protocols

Acre is the Universal Bitcoin Rewards Network, and Bitcoin deposits are how it grows. Those with that share the vision enough to deposit Bitcoin receive Acre Points for their foresight.

The Contributor’s Path

Bitcoin's future needs builders of all kinds, not just whales. You can contribute in other ways and be rewarded with Bees on Discord.

Bees recognize your daily community contributions, in the form of content, guides, explainer videos - you can also use them to play games and get involved on the Acre Discord.Right now, builders are already:

Crafting memes that define Bitcoin's next chapter
Creating guides that onboard the next million users
Providing insightful feedback on the UI and UX
Shaping conversations that matter
Building the future of Bitcoin finance

No permission needed. No gatekeepers. Just builders building.

Every builder leaves their mark. Every creation adds value. And unlike the early days, now there's a structured way to get recognized for what you create.

The DAO Advantage

This isn't a formless free-for-all. It's a focused protocol and community growth period where every contribution matters - whether it’s Bitcoin or community building. Recognition flows naturally:

Acre Points for protocol participation
Bees for active building
Special Discord roles for consistent creation

But remember: points aren't the goal. They're proof you helped build something that matters.

Get Buzzy

The best builders don't ask what they're allowed to build. They show the world what it didn't know it needed. From small improvements to big innovations, every piece matters.

See a need? Fill it. Got an idea? Build it. Found a problem? Fix it. Missing something? Create it.

Bees aren’t an automated farming game; real community moderators are watching, recognizing, and rewarding genuine builders in real-time with Bees. Acre mods are empowered to recognize value wherever they see it.

Think outside the guidelines. Build outside the box. The best contributions often come from builders who saw opportunities nobody else noticed.

The Mission

Bitcoin represents humanity's best hope for financial freedom. But to rebuild a broken system, it needs infrastructure that matches its ambition. Your Acre Points represent more than participation - they're proof you helped build the future of BitcoinFi.

The Invitation

The early Bitcoin community built something incredible through culture, and code. Now we're building what comes next. The tools are better. The rewards are structured. The impact is bigger.

But the spirit? That's exactly the same.
