The biggest roadblock to Bitcoin’s mass adoption is that it fundamentally challenges everything you’ve been told and requires a deep understanding.

I did it last week: sold my ETFs in exchange for more bitcoin. My mind knew already for several months that it is the right thing to do. The discrepancy between knowledge and action created tensions. Feels like a relief now. Happy. 😊

I find it so bizarre: The world is currently undergoing a huge change. What we call money, is becoming less and less valuable. At the same time, for the first time ever, a new money is rising up which can't get corrupted, not censored, holds its value over time (and even better it becomes more valuable especially now during its monetization phase), can't get controlled and therefore separates money from state. What is bizarre: Nearly nobody seems to care or even notice 😃 But this will change everything. How we work, how we spend money, what we value and what we don't.

Do you also have this one friend you care about so much, but who doesn’t want to learn or even talk about Bitcoin? Makes me sad 😞

Now I know why the keynote by @jack mallers reasonated so much with me: inspired by the one and only @Gigi

Finally, @jack mallers keynote is live:

@jack mallers gave the best speech at BTC Prague. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I really appreciate it. ❤️ please stay yourself.

GM! On my way to the BTC Prague :-)

What a journey! My first lightning node, five months ago, was a complete failure, but I learned so much in the process. One major lesson I learned is that a Raspberry Pi 5 with 8GB of RAM is not an optimal setup for a professional routing node. These days, I route several bitcoins per day, contributing to the network at a small profit. All of this wouldn’t be possible without the help of other noderunners, particularly a German group of professional peers organised as #blitzdinge. Thank you so much, and I hope I can contribute back soon!

I am still amazed by the Bitcoin community. So many bright minds. So much help without asking for anything in return. Pure dedication. Love that spirit. Hope we can keep it as long as possible. 🙏

Understanding Bitcoin is like learning how to ride a bike – once you know it, the world is a total different to you.

I am fascinated by the fact that what once concerned me has now faded into the background. What once upset me because I didn’t understand it now keeps me calm. I feel like with Bitcoin I can explain nearly everything that is going wrong in this world. This gives me peace.

Wow, this is vrazy. There seems to be a nationwide power outage in Portugal and Spain. And I don’t read anything about it in the German news.
