What started as a small Mediterranean restaurant, is now expanding to over a dozen locations all over Ontario. In 2020, Tahini's restaurant converted it's cash reserves into Bitcoin, and continues to chant the Bitcoin mantra after seeing a massive ROI. They've gained notoriety from the Bitcoin community and has even got the attention of Michael Saylor when he changed his profile picture to include a Tahini's hat.
Last Monday, March 28th, Conservative MP and potential Federal Party leader Pierre Poilievre attended a Bitcoin meetup at a Tahini's London Ontario as part of his announcement to make Canada a leader in the blockchain space. Poilievre and Aly Hamam (founder of Tahini's) sat down over Shisha to discuss the revolutionary impact of Bitcoin. On this episode, we sit down with Aly to further discuss his story and philosophy, while recounting the events with Pierre Poilievre.
