How I Used Bitcoin to Outlast Inflation—And Beat McDonald’s at Their Own Game

My Family’s Collapse, My Bitcoin Awakening

I grew up in a middle-class British household with Egyptian roots. My father watched the pound depreciate 85% over two decades—his savings erased by hyperinflation. When COVID hit in early 2020, Bitcoin plunged from \(10K to \)4K. I bought $1,000 that week. Not because I believed in miracles—but because the alternatives were worse.

Monthly Buying Isn’t Speculation—It’s Calibration

I don’t time the market. I don’t chase pumps. I buy $1,000 every month like clockwork: rain or shine, bull or bear. This is Dollar-Cost Averaging—not a strategy for gamblers, but for engineers who measure risk in spreadsheets.

Why Restaurants? Why ATMs?

We’re not replacing cash—we’re replacing broken systems. POS terminals won’t accept BTC because their APIs are walled gardens of legacy code. So we partnered with Bitcoin Well: installed 10 ATMs across UK locations. Now each outlet holds over £4k in BTC reserves—not as profit, but as sovereignty.

The Real Battle Isn’t Against Fast Food—It’s Against Fiat

McDonald’s doesn’t fear Chipotle. They fear Federal Reserve printing $3 trillion since 2020—and no one told them why gold went silent in their vaults.

We didn’t compete with fries—we competed with inflation.

Bitcoin isn’t money you spend—it’s money you preserve. When you stop asking ‘when will it rise?’ and start asking ‘will it last?’—you’ve already won.
