@croxroadnews created this image Bitcoin is Time. Your time. Stored. “Money” especially hard money like Bitcoin, is a battery storing your time. Currency, especially fiat currency is a battery leaking 7% of your time. Bitcoin is a closed container that nobody can temper with. Globally more people are realizing this. That they need a better store of their time. Your time is your wealth. It is the only true “thing” you have. Before your time is up. Store the ones you made productive in Bitcoin. This is no financial advise. It is for educational purposes only. Every time you see your watch or a clock. See how Bitcoin is like a clock. Ticking every 10 minutes Block after block. It is time for me to go now. Runy Island Wealth #Bitcoin #Time #Money #Fiat #Currency #islandwealth

This is a video posted as a blossom of primal.net. It shows a Gridless solar power park with miners. I wonder: - why nobody in the Caribbean is doing this - while the Caribbean has a high solar irradiation - if there is a business case, open source on github to calculate this. - showing hashpower, how much Bitcoin you can potentially mine with this. - how much that plot of land can produce when mining Bitcoin in comparison to farming tomatos, yams, vegetables. - if I could get all this working in a jupyter notebook: demo of all these calculations including cost of the miners to show to Caribbean investors, policymakers, agro business. - if this is profitable. And how much. Runy Host Island Wealth #islandwealth #bitcoin #miners #opensource #gridless

How to Fill Your Nostr Wait List? Traditional email marketing goes like this: You create a hook You give a promise You give value in a post. And you end with a call to action to join your waitlist : sign up here if you want to learn more about how to automate your work with AI:

Yes it works. And with the names and emails of the people who raised their hands you send them information. An email sequence of info. A guide, a checklist. Then you invite them for a webinar, a live event and deliver more value to their lives. This is all #free stuff. And then, you give them an offer. To kearn the HOW. All the free stuff was about the WHY and the WHAT. The people who pay you teach the HOW. Enter Nostr. You all won’t give me your email! It is personal. You won’t give me your name. It is personal too! Some people are just using nyms, not their own names. I don’t need your name. Nor your email to give you value. But how do you raise your hands? How do you show me or let me know that you are interested in this specific offer. Lets say: you want to know more about how AI is going to disrupt your job. And what you can do about it if you are stuck with #Excel and #spreadsheets. How do you let me know you are interested? In this special topic? On Nostr? In a next post I will show you how you can raise your hands about a tooic in #Keet and #Pear_runtime. This is a decentralized app like Primal. Working on the #Holepunch #Pear software stack and protocol. Your options: #1 You zap 10 sats If you zap I could think: hey this person likesthis content. But I am not sure you raised your hands. #2 You comment I want to hear more. This is clearer. You want to hear more. I might then create a python program that logs in to nostr and with AI gets the pubkeys of all the people who said they wanted to hear more. I can then send a DM later to this group of people and adding details about the webinar. Because I do not have your email, I then probably need to use a system where you log in with your pubkey and not your email and name. Your privacy secured. No names nor info. #3 You DM me you want to hear more. This is rasing your hands privately. Compared to #2 nobody but me knows you are interested. Your privacy is still more secured. However now my DM gets fludded. In this case what I would need is that you Dm me with #Python_AI. You are not interested in my snacks, my economic models. But python_ai. I would then filter my DMs, again with a python program plus AI. And send everybody an invite. Finally, where would I deliver the webinar? I can’t use zoom. I don’t want any personal information. I could use Hivetalk.org. In there you log in with only your pub key. This is open source software. I could use Keet.io. Not yet open source but no need to give me your email nor name. Yep this could work. Let me know your thoughts. In dm, in zap, inna comment. Runy Host Island Wealth

Jeff Booth said the more energy you give to the fiat system the more you sustain it. It looks like he is already in the other system and he is calling people to join it. For me personally I’m thinking about these questions. Let me know your thoughts: Linkedin What do these 6000 followers and 500+ connections actually mean? Do I own that data? What happens if Linkedin takes my account down? Youtube/Linkedin When you have a coaching/training business like me, traditional social media is your key source. You put an ad. You ask people to sign up for your wait list. And you deliver a free webinar where you give value and you give an offer to work with you. You create a presence on Youtube and Linkedin where you go live every week. But again: - those live videos are not mine - they can be taken down any time - if I’m too controversial in one of my Youtube/LinkedIn lives they can take ne down - the AI protocol determines my reach. If they don’t want to spread my message my live videos will not be seen. Facebook I’m there innsome business groups. But every comment I make, every value I add is not mine. It can be taken down. Admins can delete. I can be locked out. Jeff is right! Giving my only scarce asset, my time and putting it in the current social media will keep me in this system. Every time I go live onn Youtube, Linkedin and Facebook chasing US dollars is holding ne back. You see my mouth how amazed and surprised I by this new knowledge? I didn’t know this. Nostr/Primal My goal is to explore this new avenue of decentralized social media during the next year. I already have seen that I can now upload small videos and images on Primal and I have 10 Gigs of data (?). I saw that Primal is using a Blossom server. I read a bit about it. Could I create my own 1 Terrabyte blossom server and move all my social media content from Facebook, Youtube and Linkedin of the last year of my Island Wealth show to an own Blossom server? Let me know what you think and send me any links and ideas how to do this. Keet/Pear runtime / Holepunch I’ve been testing a peer to peer decentralized software development system. Go to keet.io and download it. There is a Bitcoin room in there. There is a Pear Community room. And there is a Pear Development Room. This is like Nostr, decentralized. Peer to peer. Unstoppable software. No servers. No hosting. Only peers. If you are a software developer (javascript) and you want to experiment building unstoppable software, try it here:

Pear by Holepunch | Pears.com

You will find all the code to start building right away. Why is this relevant for somebody like me: a trainer/coach/macro economist/investor/Bitcoiner who care about island wealth? Because all these islands are nodes in a peer to peer decentralized network. If social media, bank accounts get closed, you need a way to survive. On small islands we know this fact. You do not want to be isolated. So when you can build unstoppable software that links peers wherever they are globally, that is a great skill to have and a great trend to follow. Imagine building and connecting businesses, citizens, communities amongs 57 small island economies. Peer to peer. Yep Jeff Booth is right. The more energy and focus you out outside the system, the more you see and the more opportunities appear in front of your eyes.

#asknostr What do you think about leaving Linkedin and Youtube completely and start streaming on Nostr via Zap Stream?

One of the best ways to show business owners how Bitcoin works is by receiving money. So here I show them how they can pay 1000 sats for my snacks. At Bitcoin Cafe at the Curacao Innovation Technology Institute, in Downtown Willemstad, we introduce new businesses, citizens of Curacao to Bitcoin, between the beautiful colorful monuments. If you happen to be in the neighborhood just drop in. Bring your Wallet of Satoshi, your Blue wallet or your Blink wallet, because I will be behind the counter selling snacks Runy

Question: Is Primal net now having Blossom servers? I noticed you can now upload videos and also images on Primal. And it stores your videos and images on a blossom.primal.net server. Can you also stream on Primal.net and store your videos there? Let me know.

Do you know how much "money" there is in the world? And why you should own more Bitcoin? After watching an episode of Jeff Booth about the total money supply, debt and assets I just wanted to find what the global money supply, M2 looks like. Yes the total currency in the world, in terms of dollars. We have 900 Trillion in capital in the world. And just look at the "currency". 92 Trillion, of only 4 major central banks. What this means: - The currency you are working for if you are living in one of those 4 countries is immense. - Take the rest of the world on it and you have a whopping figure how much "money", I call it currency there is. - I'm going to look at the figure for all the Caribbean islands and also next all the 57 islands in the world. So you know how much "money", aka currency there is in the world and how much it has been increasing. Why I'm doing this? Because I want to compare this to a fixed number. The 21 million Bitcoin available. Let me know your questions below. Runy Island Wealth

🎁 The Gift That Disappeared… and Proved My Point 💸 This week, I walked into a store, excited to finally use a $250 gift card I had received a while ago. It was a gift I got after giving a presentation on… 📉 Inflation and monetary debasement. Yeah — the irony is coming… I picked out what I wanted, walked to the cashier, and swiped the card. She looked up and said: “Sir… this card has a balance of $0.” 😳 Wait… what?! I stood there confused. I never used it. I tucked it away in my room, planning to spend it later. So I went to the 🏦 bank that issued the card. The teller made a few calls and then came back with a straight face: “We impose a $2.50 monthly fee after 12 months of inactivity.” 💥 Boom. There it was. Month by month… the entire $250 vanished. Not because I spent it. Not because I lost it. But because I stored it. And suddenly, I realized: This wasn’t just a gift card story. This was the exact thing I teach about. 💸 Inflation is a silent leak. It eats your wealth slowly. You think you’re saving. You think you’re safe. But the system is draining you — quietly, monthly, unapologetically. ⸻ If you’re holding cash in the bank… you’re next. You don’t feel it. But every day, you’re becoming part of the 99% that lose. Not because you’re lazy. But because you don’t see how the machine really works. Want to stop the leak? Join my VIP Lounge here: 👉

The U.S. Dollar Swirl: How It Became a Whirlpool of Debt 💸➡️🌪️ From Gold-Backed Calm to Liquidity Chaos Have you ever wondered how a swirl is born, and how it collapses? The U.S. Dollar Swirl: How It Became a Whirlpool of Debt 💸➡️🌪️ From Gold-Backed Calm to Liquidity Chaos Credits to Ericfj (ericfj@conduitbtc.com) who posted the video. @Eric FJ 🪬⚡️ And to my AI Global Macro Agents who helped me break it down. This is how the U.S. 🇺🇸 went from hard money to an unstoppable fiat debt spiral, a Monetary Financial Currency Swirl. 🔹 1913: Fed created 🔹 1929: Great Depression – liquidity crisis 🔹 1971: Gold window closed – fiat born 🔹 2000: Dotcom bust – Fed cuts fuel the next bubble 🔹 2008: Mortgage crash – QE begins 🔹 2020: Covid lockdown – trillions printed 🔹 2023: Banks fail again – trust shakes 🔹 2025: Tariffs, debt, and a cornered Fed 💥 Every time, the “solution” was more debt.

I so highly recommend this interview. If you want to understand the deeper root causes and reasons of Mr. Trump’s tariffs and what is going on and where we are headed ao you can protect your #IslandWeath this is it. I will be hosting an episode od Island Wealth about this this week. Take the time to invest in your mind and listen to this. If you have any questions let me know below. Runy Host Island Wealth Show

Extra Extra: Read all about it Here is a thought experiment 1000% tariffs on the world What would happen if the USA goes super extreme and impose a 1000% tariff on the whole world? Would that finally hurt the world because they have treated the USA unfairly? Lets thing this. All trade to the USA will stop. When you go to Wallmart the shelves will be empty. When you want a good car, you won’t see any foreign brand. Everybody drives a Ford. A black one. You want an Iphone. Not available. The USA will ony have its own home built stuff. A lot of services. A lot less manufactured products. If you need any minerals, you won’t have it. The deficit on the balance of trade will be gone. Imports gone to zero. As the USA cannot benefit from the world, it now has to produce everything internally. Production costs will go up. Inflation will go up. Try to produce a refrigirator, a car, and iphone yourself. Consumption will go down, as prices increase. And there will be unemployment. Remember East Berlin. A closed economy. Remember North Korea? The wealthy citizens in the USA will find a way to drive a BMW. But at an incredible cost. Average Americans cannot buy essentials. The wealth of the nation, it is measured in the number and variety of goods and services you can buy to improve your lifestyle will decrease. Now you become sick. You go to a hospital. You need to produce all those equiments yourself. The Siemens latest model to check your heart? Not available. Now snap out of this Hell. You have been living in the American Dream. That dream has been built on everything the world sends you. Now lets move to currency. How are you going to close the deficit on your public budget? Who is going to buy your US bonds you create to pay for your expenses? China, Japan, Europe? Since you don’t import their stuff and trade with them, they don’t get your paper dollars so they can buy your bonds. Invest in your real estate! Do you start to get how insane this is? Tax yourself out of trading with the world? You have been getting the BEST deal possible! Because you can print the dollar! China can’t. Japan can’t. You have not been treated unfairly! The world has been sending you all its stuff for paper. Lets max it out: 1000% tariff on the world. Runy Host Island Wealth

First you print some money. Then you send this money to the world. Then people send you their manufactured products for your paper. Then you say you have been treated unfairly. Then you put a tax on your own people so the products you get for your paper become more expensive. Then your economy contracts. Because the people needs more money to buy stuff. Then you print more money to save the economy. Go back to start. This is a downward spiral you cannot win. America better start producing all the stuff themselves. Cars, shoes, refrigirators, cheese, electronics, tvs. Make everything yourself instead of importing from the world.

Accepting payments through your Wordpress website is what I needed for a long time. Living in the Caribbean means you have no Paypal, Stripe etc. So you cannot accept credit cards online. As I have an online training and coaching business I need to be able to swiftly let my potential customers see my offer and decide instantly. Pick up their credit cards and enter. I have a sales funnel where I share free content on social media, I invite people to raise their hands by giving me their name and email. Then I give a webinar where I show them the value of joining one of my programs like a 6 week Python and AI programming experience. And then they get the offer and they buy or not. So you understand how happy I was when #Blink created their #Woocommerce plugin that works on #Wordpress. In this video below I explain exactly how you too can set this up in say 1 hour. The tutorial is short and structured. What you need is: - a Wordpress site - a mobile phone - internet - and 1 hour You will see how a tshirt company can accept intant payments with lightning. You can customize this yourself for what you are selling. I’m working right now to enable this on my next site of Island Wealth and Caribbean Strategic Boardroom where I offer my potential clients online trainings. So soon you will be able to instantly pay for my next online experience, my online training and coaching program. Your benefits: - low transaction costs - be able to sell your products and services to a 1.7 trillion USD economy! Yes that’s the value of all the Bitcoin in the world. - Instant payments without credit card chargebacks. - no one between you and your client. Will you test this out and let me know? If you have any comments or questions let me know. I also have a video where I use BTC Pay server and Blink to accept Payments on a Shopify shop!! Runy Host Island Wealth
