Here are some highlights from @Bitcoin Amsterdam, hosted by @Bitcoin Magazine! Loved the inspiring talks and connecting with incredible bitcoiners. Giving a keynote on the main stage was such an honor. Huge thanks for all the support, the amazing video by my lovely girlfriend, and a special shoutout to 21Million Fashion for the epic #Bitcoin jacket!

I had incredible two days in Amsterdam and was honored to give a keynote at Bitcoin Amsterdam, organized by @Bitcoin Magazine. I shared insights why it was Saxony-not "the German Government"-that sold 50,000 #BTC, lessons learned, and how the @Bitcoin Bundesverband could help shape a bitcoin strategy for Germany. If you'd like to watch my presentation on "Lessons from Saxony's 50,000 Bitcoin Sale" check it out on YouTube: „Bitcoin Amsterdam 2024 Day 2 Livestream". It starts at 4:19:30.

Bitcoin Meets Bits & Pretzels

Sun, Sept. 29, 2024

👀 Don’t miss this! 🎙️ I chat with @Knut Svanholm ∞/21M about his new book, Bitcoin: The Inverse of Clown World. But that’s not all—we’ll dive into #NOSTRiga, the Baltic #Honeybadger by @Hodl Hodl, and more. 📺 Tune in tonight at 8:21pm! View quoted note →

Yesterday @Tanja and I discussed on my Bitcoin Insights podcast how early we are in the Nostr journey. I compared Nostr today to Bitcoin in 2010/11—it’s an incredible time to be here. You can directly talk to pioneers like @miljan, @rabble, @paul keating, and they’ll actually help you. Don’t miss this opportunity. In Bitcoin, you can’t just chat with Satoshi Nakamoto anymore. Today, after using @primal for the first time on a web browser, I saw I joined Nostr on March 5, 2023. When did you join Nostr?

@Tanja and I had a lot of fun on today's @btcinsights podcast recording. But we also talked about difficult topics like censorship and hostility on platforms like Twitter/X. Nostr doesn't offer a solution for everything, but it makes a difference when it comes to censorship. The community is still small and the climate is pleasant - hostility is rare. Enjoy your time on Nostr while it's still an "insider tip" before the masses of X come along. PS: Nostr today feels like Bitcoin 2010/11. You can still talk directly to the CEOs of @primal like @miljan and @nos like @rabble & Co. and solve problems quickly. Use this opportunity before it's too late. Later, you'll be glad you were there now - just as every Bitcoiner would have loved to have been there in 2010 to interact with Satoshi Nakamoto! View quoted note →

What’s your favorite?

Bitcoiners get asked when they bought in. Now, you'll be asked when you joined Nostr. For many, that day is today.

It’s hard to top this final panel at Baltic Honeybadger: "Bitcoin Only" with @ODELL, Max Kei, @jack mallers, @GRANTGILLIAM, and @jack. Thank you, #BH2024. This was the best conference I’ve attended. BH2019 had its own charm, but you've grown up and become even more professional.

"Face reality!" Powerful words from @jack mallers at #NOSTRIGA on privacy. We all preach the importance of privacy but keep using Instagram, WhatsApp, X, etc. It's easy to talk, but harder to walk the walk—myself included. @Mir @miljan @Hodl Hodl

Here we go! #BH2024 by @Hodl Hodl is live. All panelists have been at every Baltic Honeybadger since 2017. Honeybadger OGs: @npub1qg8j...24kw, @Giacomo Zucco, @Peter Todd, Sergej Kotliar and Matthew Mežinskis. Excited to be back in Riga 🇱🇻 for my 2nd time after 2019 🍯🦡.

Another great talk - FIRESIDE - at #NOSTRIGA: @jack and @ODELL.

Exciting panel at #NOSTRIGA with @npub1dmcd...utjm (@strike), @miljan (@primal), and Mir (moderator) discussing Bitcoin and Nostr. Couldn't have been a better fit!

NOSTRIGA – Here we go! I love Riga 🇱🇻 and can’t wait for the next few days, especially the Baltic Honeybadger @Hodl Hodl.

Excited for the Baltic Honeybadger @Hodl Hodl in Riga in 2 weeks! I'll be representing the newly formed @Bitcoin Bundesverband. Who else is going?

Spannendes Fachgespräch zur Regulierung von Kryptowerten im Bundestag. Gelungener Auftakt. Trotz vielem Erreichten in den letzten Jahren, gibt noch viel zu tun. MiCA ist ein richtiger Schritt - Dr. Stefan Berger hat aus Brüssel berichtet. Danke Johannes Steiniger, MdB (CDU/CSU) für die Einladung des #[0]​!
