Looks like nostr:nprofile1qqsfe2xzm5nv5zwqp23zkys5wzlnq5wlkhad8gqnwkj8dmc07cw89ygpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgqgnwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8xtth9eshyaqr6ej9x is taking me more serious than most 😂 He’s building a bitcoin game slaying the fiat overlords. I need to get back to martial arts 😉

This was the first time I moderated a panel on a larger bitcoin conference. Used to do this in the port world, really enjoy interviewing and moderating to increase content density. More proof of work is necessary. https://youtu.be/uWmygxmkIek

GM its monetary Sunday and everyone should reread bitcoin is time by nostr:nprofile1qqsxu35yyt0mwjjh8pcz4zprhxegz69t4wr9t74vk6zne58wzh0waycpzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t09uuhkwfe: https://dergigi.com/2021/01/14/bitcoin-is-time/

Bitcoin is time

What database do you prefer to use for your compressed future time expenditure storage?

Today during an important meeting, I brought up this specific article. Two pages in all major newspapers. One of the biggest scammers is back. Where we thought this guy was out of the picture. He gets a major podium in mainstream media. It’s as if scammers receive a perpetual podium, creating a centralized narrative. The majority of the Dutch population consumes this garbage. Is there any hope for the future, where we see non negative bitcoin narrative propaganda?

If you could pick your anti fishing words, what would be your personal favorite?

In the past few days I had my goodbye meeting at the Dutch central bank and the authority of financial markets. As the chairman representing the United bitcoin companies in the Netherlands. It’s been an interesting few years. The totally refurbished building of the Dutch central bank is open for visitors and the amount of interesting things portrayed there is worthwhile for bitcoiners. “Value of trust” “value of stability” “The value of art” The first big public piece of the new head of the Dutch central bank is “don’t agree with Eurobonds”. (Link below). This piece might give a tiny bit of hope that further EU integration gets delayed. There is a high focus on digital resilience in geopolitical uncertain times. I’ve had naive hope I could change the legacy system. At least we won lawsuits and were able to reduce the regulatory burden and many millions of cost by having a firm stance. Our lawyer was not allowed at the main board cost meeting anymore after I brought him along once ☺️. The fight at the European court in Luxembourg will persist through the next chairman. It was great to see us win in the Rotterdam and Supreme Court in the Netherlands, with the Dutch central bank having an army of the best lawyers. We were able to push an over 5 million cost relieve at AFM under MICAR oversight this year. And we’ve held really strong stances where we could. It’s time to move on and leave this legacy system behind. We’ll have to build forward on new frontiers. The direction in the Netherlands is unfortunately, stifling innovation. On regulation they are clearly far ahead of any other location on our planet. I’ve seen what’s coming and it’s going to be tough, but we will be able to use our bitcoin. That is, what matters. Fun fact: “Wall Street De Nederlanders bouwden in 1653 een verdedigingswal tegen de Engelsen en autochtone indiaanse stammen in wat toen nog Nieuw-Amsterdam heette. Het pad met een houten hek dat hierlangs liep, werd de Waal Straat of Wal Straat genoemd. Daar werd ook toen al veel gehandeld.” “Wall Street In 1653, the Dutch built a defensive wall against the English and native Indian tribes in what was then called New Amsterdam. The path with a wooden gate running alongside it was called Waal Street or Wal Street. Even then, there was already a lot of trading going on there.” https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/ecb-sleijpen-warns-eurobonds-only-013822101.html

GM Coming to the EU soon: “The reason for the revolt was the harsh and unfair taxes imposed by the royal power, which was seated in Denmark and used foreign tax collectors and civil servants to impose its will on the population.”

As a bitcoin maxi, life is simple. You simply always are all in. And of course looking at “price” it’s not always wise. So a beautiful example of conviction as I’m going through some historical buys with the print screens and the actual numbers. At the end of 2021 I sold my bike rental, bikelimburg. My last bit of fiat came in and as always, I directly converted it into bitcoin. I just started nostr:nprofile1qqsqx8xlj3slw6yt3nx208fal6vm598tetl8nkzgdtwnqmyw83g7u0cpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumrpdejqzyrhwden5te0dehhxarj9emkjmn9ksq35g and knew I needed the money later. It would take years to create a profitable company. But I bought bitcoin at this top anyway. I spend €5000,- (which was basically $5000,- back then). To see it be (1/4) €1250,- a year later. In November 2022, we had basically no new clients, not a single business case made sense for mining on that fiat level. And basically nobody believed in it anymore at that time. I was earning some fiat through BitcoinBrabant still and some side jobs at that moment. I always bought bitcoin. Proof of it below 👇

Now I’m really wondering how many degens got liquidated borrowing against shitcoins 😂 Had an epic conversation yesterday evening before going to bed. Woke up around 4.15 first answered my emails and DMs of BitcoinBrabant and did some workouts. Than found out bitcoin was a a bit lower. Emptied all the bank accounts. Bought bitcoin. Don’t do leverage. Work your ass off. Don’t leave bitcoin on an exchange. (All major US exchanges went offline during the trough).

This is a video on our Dutch business network RTLZ. It can’t be found online with RTL anymore, just like some other material where I got to be in mainstream in the Netherlands. This specific piece was critical. In the preparation we talked about the €2.5 billion additional tax that is going to be taken from bitcoin hodlers under new DAC8 regulation. The lady starts off with 2.5 billion of tax evasion currently ongoing by bitcoiners… Gaslighting at its finest. Apart from that all economic and personal data from exchanges from 2026-01-01 will be put into a central EU tax authority database. The laws have passed the implementation is finalized. If you are in EU and hodl or transfer anything through a regulated exchange, be aware. Your name and activity will be in this Central European tax database with every bitcoin move you do through these parties from the 1st of January. People around me are saying this is insane, I just look at it as the final push to also use bitcoin as a medium of exchange. You simply don’t want to be in this database with a bitcoin number behind your name. Oh and if you’re interested in the details, you do know that politicians, royalty and extremely wealthy people have an exempt status and a separate account and physical database with the tax authorities, right? https://blossom.primal.net/2e9a7543f169d513c15f384d2cc9625eaffecacd95f6e61f90f9b39e6ccd5847.mov

GM There is a storm. The power of nature is beautiful to see. The wind shaking the trees, water in the sky moving up and down under the lantern. We are mere passengers on spaceship earth. https://blossom.primal.net/34777d158c4822504579bbc01222b7a41ae961ba1276af8d6f7c2495f74e2f3f.mov

If you want to vlog on nostr, how do you do it?

It’s becoming very clear that sovereignty and great steps towards freedom are not being seen. While infighting about some bites on the most robust computer network ever built is pushed like there’s no tomorrow.
