8am. I’m waiting for the subway. Unusual for me on a Sunday morning. I look around:people dressed for hiking, work, brunch, a day trip. Everyone different, all going somewhere. And I think: statistically, someone here has probably committed a crime. So what should the subway do? Refuse to start? Close the doors and say: ‘Sorry, you can’t get on’? Sounds ridiculous, right? The subway’s job is to take people from A to B. It doesn’t judge, it doesn’t ask questions. it just takes you there. It’s neutral. It’s infrastructure. And that’s exactly how money should work too. A payment system should move value, not judge the person moving it. But lately, those who control access to money are also deciding who deserves to use it. You said the wrong thing? account blocked. You made an uncomfortable choice? access denied. In the physical world, it sounds absurd to imagine a subway deciding who can board. In the digital world, we accept it without a fight. And the worst part? People who rely on these shortcuts are avoiding the real work. investigating, enforcing justice, solving real crimes. It’s easier to freeze a card ‘for security reasons’ than to go after political corruption. Of course, those who commit crimes should be stopped by the state, through investigations, through law, through process. But we can’t ask infrastructure to pick the “good” and the “bad.” Once it starts doing that, it’s no longer safety. it’s control. And control never ends well. It’s like if a train stopped working because the driver didn’t like where you were going. Or because you once posted a tweet he disagreed with. Every time we ask for more control, more sanctions, more rules, we’re wishing (even without realizing it) for a world where a train stops because you posted a joke on Instagram. And with things like Chat Control or the digital euro, it’ll only get worse: a system even more ‘efficient’ at judging, punishing, and deciding who’s allowed to move and who isn’t. It sounds extreme, but maybe it should be our daily concern. Because if we hate injustice today, imagine not being able to have a bank account tomorrow because of one.

I don’t go to the gym to become a supermodel. I just want to keep my lifestyle without gaining weight. Same with Bitcoin: I don’t want a new luxury life, I just want everything I’ve worked for to stay exactly where it f***ing is.

This and financial freedom

I never get tired of this

Where am I

Sometimes, it’s all about a pen. The other day, after work, I went to the beach. I brought everything: towel, sand mat, fruit, water, my beach pillow, and my crossword booklet. Usually, I take a quick swim, then I do 30–40 minutes of crosswords. Then I head back home. Nice, right? So. I lay everything out: mat, towel, myself. I reach for the pen andwait. No pen. No pen?! Now, I’m not trying to be dramatic, but the whole plan was based on that pen. How do I do the crossword with no pen? I remember I used it the night before to write in my agenda and didn't put it back. 😭 What now? Go back home? But I know myself. If I go back, I won’t come back. So I stay. But I’m annoyed (no, I don’t want to use my phone. I work online all day, I don't want to stare at a screen on the beach too). I keep looking. And I find it! not my pen, but a pen. One that had already been left there (the beauty of being messy!) That one pen unlocked everything I had prepared. Without it, the whole setup was kinda useless. It made me think about tech. About tools. Sometimes, you have everything. But you’re missing just one tiny piece. And you don’t even realize it... until you do. Sometimes, “the pen” is a computer. Sometimes it’s a skill. Sometimes it’s a website. Sometimes it’s a Bitcoin account. Small things unlock big moves. Don’t underestimate what one tool can do. You have no idea how many entrepreneurs are stuck because their payment system sucks. How many people think they’re not successful... just because they’re selling their services in their hometown instead of to the world. You don’t know how powerful your skills could be in the digital world. You don’t need a massive library. Sometimes, all you need is a pen. Or an account. Or an idea. What’s your pen?

It was a very very dirty evening

- updated bitchat - used #geohash - found a group of italians sending 8=====D we’re unstoppable

Bitcoiners who think you need to eat raw liver to ‘make it’ meanwhile I’m stacking sats eating tiramisu

What I love about Bitcoin is that I, a 28 yo girl from a small Italian town have the same opportunity as a Harvard Business School graduate working at Wall Street. No special permissions. Just a game where for once the rules are the same for everyone. It heals my soul.

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

Be grateful for the friend who talks to you about Bitcoin. Anyone can invite you shopping, for drinks or on vacation but only a few push you to protect your money and your freedom.

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

The absence of rush is the ultimate goal.
