Thank you

One true sentence for the day #3 Hello #bitcoin family, Getting things done is essential for your wellbeing. Procrastination has its place too. Sometimes it is your gut asking you to pause and reflect. Call it what you want, when the month end arrives and bills are due, life calls you to step up. In 30 days, the cycle begins again. Over time, a simple truth reveals itself that only work gives structure to our existence. As my friend Ebrahim says, it all comes down to creation and consumption. Consumption can keep you occupied but creating is what keeps you alive. From the Bhagavad Gita - “Your karma is your dharma.” Your actions are your responsibility and your path. So get on with it. Create, build, and blossom like a rose. Have a great day y'all Paco

One true sentence of the day #2 Gm #bitcoin fam, I am out on the porch, listening to a bhajan from a nearby village, 'Radhe Radhe, Hare Krishna'. Birds peck at grains of rice and call out to their friends. The dogs in the house above mine bark as usual & I write down my thoughts. Two folks came from around the house, a man and a lady. They were here for the census and asked about the landlord, who had just arrived and was down in the camp area. The lady recognized him and they headed there. The man walked behind her, his jeans rolled up, a thin line of blood trickling down his leg. I didn't ask. I wrote 'I think, I won't be counted this time. The census records your name, age, date of birth, religion, family members, a door to door KYC of sorts. The last one happened in Indian in 2011.' 'Where will I be recorded? Do I exist? Where do I exist? Physically yes, but not in their records. Does it matter? One less counted in this country of billions.' ~10 mins later~ The lady stayed back, talking to the landlord. The guy climbed up, talking on the phone. I asked, “All done, all good?” He said yes and kept walking to get his bike. I overheard him say, “Sir, I didn’t do anything. There was this small dog. He didn’t bark like the big ones and bit me. What can I do? ” That poor chap will need at least 4 injections. I had just written these words prior to this incident. If every thought we had came true, then there would be chaos. There are certain thoughts, certain wavelengths where we sit and wander. The mind goes wild. Our thoughts have no boundaries. They stretch as far as your destiny. Millions wake up every day, thinking, working, contributing, keeping this wheel moving. Did this census guy ever think he would get bitten by a dog today? On a lighter note, were they anarcho capitalist dogs, keeping their masters away from KYC? Well thats all for today. Thank you & Have a great Monday :) Happy VEGAS week to all those attending Paco.

One true sentence of the day. Gm #bitcoin fam, I am lying on my bed, looking at a pile of clothes I can wear, and it feels good. For the first time in a long while, I do not have to pick from a backpack with 6 or 8 Tshirts. Just having options feels easy. Having access to my own kitchen feels even better. I can cook what I want, eat when I want, without thinking about restaurants or adjusting to someone else’s schedule. There is also a room of my own, where I can move as I like, be loud or silent, talk, think, sit still, without worrying about where I will sleep tonight or whether I will find a roof. It feels good to have a house. I had heard family makes a house a home, and I beginning to see it now. There is silence here, a kind of emptiness, and then suddenly it is broken by the cries of a three month old baby girl, my cook’s child, who comes in for a couple of hours every day. Those 2 hours are full. One baby crying, another running around trying to grab things or step into water, and in between all of this I sit and try to write, work on the book, plan the day, and move a few projects forward. It is a new rhythm, a different kind of chaos, and I am learning to sit with it. Even though my travels ended in 2023. It took me about 6 months to find a place I could call a home, and I have been here in the Himalayas for nearly 2 years now. But over the past few months,I was staying and working with a friend in Tamil Nadu, where we made solid progress on the book. We are now at 160 pages, about 2/3rd is done. Book writing is a truly enriching experience. If you get a chance to do it, please do it. You learn a lot about yourself in the process, and maybe you will end up writing your second book on how to write a book? :D Now that I am back, I will keep sharing my thoughts with you all, my digital family. That is my one true sentence for the day. Have a good one. Paco

Dear #bitcoin fam, Getting back on the X and Nostr and trying to share updates on the book progress has been rewarding. At times I fear and filter out lots of my thoughts, thinking what change will it bring. It's better to keep my mouth shut. But then if I don't post regularly, how will the community know what I am upto. Maybe I am trying to find the right balance between what to share and what not to. I have truly been enjoying the silence and been following the community like a spectator. If it was not for @Geyser pushing me, I would still be in my cave, so thanks to the entire team. It's because of their support I launched All or Nothing Campaign to raise funds for the book. Now it created a pressure on me to release some content everyday and so far I am slowly getting back to the social media game. I hope, in the coming days I will be able to share meaningful updates and get you all riled up and excited about the book. I had so much fun on the journey while using freedom tech. I hope you all have as much fun while reading the book too. Please share your blessings. If you have any advice, please share that too. Thank you for letting me be a part of this incredible community! Hugs , upwards and onwards. And just incase you wanna know more about the book. Here is the link-

Hello from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 I was here in 2022, right as the petrol shortages started. There were 2 hour queues at pumps. Soon after, the President fled and resigned amid the chaos. Fast forward to 2026. I had to run an errand down in Galle in the South, which in turn turned out be an adventure. Due to the ongoing war disrupting global supplies (a choke in the Strait of Hormuz ripples everywhere), Sri Lanka has brought back fuel rationing. Every citizen gets a strict quota: just 15 liters of petrol per week , tracked via a QR code system. If you run out? You're stuck! We tried to refuel but our QR didn't scan right the first time maybe tech glitch or registration hiccup, who knows. We rode and pushed our luck until the tank ran dry mid-errand. We had to walk for over 3kms asking for fuel at every store. Finally a kind stranger (a real Samaritan) pointed us to some. It was double the price. An hour of work took 5 hours. How fragile our so called "globalized" world truly is? One blockage causes real suffering here. Our world operates like a human body. If you are hurt in one part, the whole system suffers. Your mind can't focus and everything slows. As someone who's traveled extensively through the Global South, I've seen this pattern repeat i.e inflation, money printer go brrr, then hyperinflation followed by sanctions hitting ordinary people the hardest. Did i see this coming ? Yes I did. Was I prepared? Not so much. These raw, on the ground stories, from Sri Lanka's latest crisis to struggles across overlooked regions, are at the heart of my upcoming book. If you want to read more about how global shocks land on real lives in the places often overlooked, join the journey. Crowdfund a copy now and support the project:

Namaste #bitcoin fam on Nostr, I have something very cool to share! So, you all know the voyage I started in 2021, 42 countries in 800 days, and with zero fiat! This could have been possibly the craziest thing, I dreamt of as a child! And, as enthralling as it was to live it, now I very much look forward to share it with you all! In the form of my book. It’s a proof-of-work of Bitcoin’s significance in the world as money! The manuscript is now in its final stage, and I’m launching a Geyser Fund campaign to raise $10,000 worth of sats to complete editing, design, and printing of the book. Link below -

Namaste #bitcoin family on NOSTR, Is it true that most of you hang out here as compared to X? Anyways it has been a while. I want to begin by saying that I am in good health, both physically and mentally. 🙃 For the past two years, I have been living a mountain life, practicing yoga instead of running, eating good curry, writing my first book about the 'run with bitcoin' journey, and building a few projects on the side. In a few days, I’ll be sharing something I’ve been building. Thank you and blessings, Paco

Happy New Year #bitcoin family 🙏 I’ve been a bit quiet lately, but I have two exciting announcements for 2026. The first one: My book is in the final stages. I travelled to 42 countries over 800 days using bitcoin. The book is a tell-all covering my journey. Pre-sales and sponsorship options are now available on my website.
