🎉 Join me at BitcoinWalk in Helsinki! 📅 17 August 2025 at 10:00 - 00:00GMT+1 📍 Mechelininkatu 12-14 Join us for a special edition of BitcoinWalk in Helsinki! As a side event of BTCHEL in Helsinki, we’re bringing the global BitcoinWalk movement to the heart of Finland for one day only — Sunday, August 17. BitcoinWalk is all about stepping away from screens, getting out into nature, and having real conversations with fellow Bitcoiners. Whether you’re new to Bitcoin or deeply involved in the space, this casual walk offers a refreshing opportunity to meet like-minded people, share ideas, and enjoy the outdoors. As we stroll through scenic paths around Helsinki, expect open discussions on everything Bitcoin — from economics, technology, and geopolitics to energy, philosophy, mental health, and more. It’s a space for anyone to exchange views on Bitcoin’s role in fostering self-sovereignty, economic freedom, and peaceful financial revolution. No matter your background or level of knowledge, you’re welcome to join. With each conversation, we build connections, spark new insights, and walk together towards wider Bitcoin adoption. If you’re in town for BTCHEL, take a break from the conference halls, get some fresh air, and be part of this unique community event. Bitcoin is inevitable — and so is a good walk with great company. See you on Sunday! 🔗

The monument of Stalin in Riga. There are a few of these. The one in Warsaw was built by the soviets after WWII. When the Polish capital was completely destroyed they decided to build the tallest building in the city centre so that everyone from could see it from miles away and be reminded of the big brothers might. Today the Warsaw palace is known as Palace of Science and Culture and host one of top European Bitcoin events @Bitcoin FilmFest 🤓

As my good friend @Algis said - this Freedom Monument in #Riga was raised in 1935 to represent the hope for freedom in the future. Since then Latvia was occupied by Russians, Germans and Poles. The monument still represents the idea of hope for the future but... the future doesn't exist! We have to build it! So you can live your life like this statue - standing by and hoping for the future like all the normies, NPCs and others locked in the matrix or you can take responsibility, use the Freedom Tech tools like Bitcoin and nostr, and build your own future without asking for permission. The tools are there. The choice is yours.

This is so cute! Thanks @Agi Choote 🫶 Reminds me of this classic 🤓

Sometimes I don't know if these names are meant to be a joke or not 🤔 You got me #Riga 🇱🇻
