Sometimes it feels like we’re losing a war without even realizing it. In the Middle Ages, cities built walls to defend themselves, to keep out those who wanted to enter and plunder. Those walls were the boundary between security and vulnerability. Today, the boundaries have shifted into the digital space. But instead of building walls, we are the ones literally opening the doors. We hand over the keys voluntarily, giving away all our information just to have Alexa read us the horoscope or an app to entertain the cat. This war is no longer fought with weapons, but with data and information. And not only are we fighting it defenseless, we don’t even realize it’s happening because we still haven’t understood that privacy is our new wall.

I have friends who pay €200 a month for a bag but won’t invest €30 in something that can buy them ten bags 💔

So I googled my symptoms and it turns out I just hate banks

People don’t buy bitcoin. They buy what it makes possible. - More time: no more hours wasted at the bank or waiting for a bank transfer. - Less pain : no frozen accounts, no begging for withdrawals. - Extra income: sats that grow in value over time. - Lower costs: no hidden fees or absurd commissions. - Love/ attention: being part of a community that gets it and, why not, finding good opportunities. - Praise / validation: the pride of taking control of your money. - Comfort: knowing your wealth is safe from inflation. - Better health: less stress about your finances. - Less effort: send and receive money in seconds, globally. - Higher status: early adopter of the hardest money ever made. When talking about Bitcoin, hit even one of these, and Bitcoin wins. Miss all, and it’s just a ‘ponzi scheme’.

A man who can cook >>>>> a fit man

I like my sea crystal clear and my money censorship-resistant.

Think about it. If spaghetti were meant to be broken, they’d sell them that way.

Just came here to drop this

They’re building a Bitcoin hub in Italy and yes, it has everything ❤️

I wake up on Sunday and think only of one thing: pizza

Ugh. Europe and its disgusting habit of tasting good.

Funny how some Bitcoiners make you feel like the weird one for not trusting politicians as if trusting them was ever the normal thing to do.

Propaganda I’m NOT falling for, as a Bitcoiner: 1. Political saviorism. I don’t believe in politicians. Left, right, they’re all playing the same game. Flirting with state power goes against the values of Bitcoin. You can’t vote your way into freedom. 2. 'Tradwife' isn’t cool. Middle/low class women weren’t happy, they were broke & dependent. Rich housewives were always the exception. If you can’t leave it’s not love, it’s a trap. Bitcoin = real choices for everyone. 3. HODL until you die. No thanks. I’m here for freedom, not for another religion. Bitcoin is a tool. Use it to live well, not just to cope. Spend it, enjoy it, build with it. 4. Extreme purity culture. Yes, I care about security. But I also live in the real world. I won’t die if I buy a coffee with a custodial wallet. Tradeoffs are fine if you are free to choose them. 5. Cut everyone off. I won’t 'divorce' my friends and family because they don’t get it. They are free to stay out. I am free to stay close. One day, they might ask. I’ll be there. Love > ego 6. “Bitcoin fixes everything”. No, it doesn’t. That’s a childish take. Bitcoin is powerful, but it’s not magic. It won’t fix your relationship, your bad diet or your ego. It gives you tools... not a personality. Fix yourself. Then use Bitcoin to build better.

What’s your “I’m grown now” purchase?

I hate this myth that Bitcoin is for the financially educated. It’s for the reckless. The ones who wire money drunk at 3AM on a Tuesday. My bank calls it unusual behavior I call it living my life.

This and freedom technologies

We’re not ready for Bitcoin yet. And that’s okay. We know that already. Yesterday, still half-asleep from vacation, I went grocery shopping and as usual, I wanted to pay in Bitcoin. I get my Bitrefill gift card while standing inside the supermarket, feeling proud and ready. Everything goes smooth… until PANIC. Power goes out in the info office (the one that exchange the Bitrefill code with the physical gift cards), the computer won’t start, the staff starts freaking out. I quietly put the frozen stuff back so it doesn’t melt. I keep shopping. 30 minutes go by. I go back to the desk... still broken.Another 30 minutes. Nothing. I’m there, half zen (half not), thinking: why the f*** do I even bother? In the end… I paid in euros. 🙃 Bitcoin is perfect. Everything around it? Often not. Fragile infrastructure, outdated systems, people who lose it the second something goes off-script. Same old story with every new technology: the invention works great, it’s the world around it that lags behind. And still, we keep going. Because we know where we’re headed. And every time it feels “too complicated” or like “you’re not ready,” remind yourself: it’s not you. It's not Bitcoin. It’s the world that has to catch up.

10 days offline. What did I miss?

I talked about Bitcoin at a monastery in Germany that has been brewing beer since 1268. It's official: even the monks are ahead of the banks. Prost 🍻
