As a modest investor, I’ve always liked the stock market, gold, and #Bitcoin, and each has its place in my portfolio. However, since diving deeper into Bitcoin, its percentage has steadily grown because I’ve come to truly understand its nature. Bitcoin has completely flipped my perspective on what ownership really means. Unlike gold or stocks, Bitcoin offers unconfiscable, borderless, and permissionless property, something I now value above all else. What about you, #nostriches? How do you see Bitcoin compared to gold or other investments? 🧐

In #Spain, the start of 2025 has brought a wave of tax increases: - Electricity VAT jumped from 10% to 21%. - Higher self-employment contributions. - Increased income tax rates on savings. - New taxes on profits earned abroad. - Introduction of a new waste management tax. - Higher Social Security contributions for both employers and employees. - Removal of deductions for energy-efficient home improvements. - VAT on eggs, milk, legumes, fruit, vegetables, and olive oil increased from 2% to 4%. It seems governments love keeping people poor 💩

Resolutions for 2025: - Run my own #Bitcoin node. - Set up and manage my own #Lightning node. - Master #Rust. - Stack at least 1,000,000 #sats. - Read at least 10 books to grow knowledge and perspective. What about you, #Nostr community?

#gm #Nostr! Let the #coffee flow! ☕ Happy Saturday to you all! Today’s the perfect day to spend quality time with loved ones, dive into that book you’ve been meaning to read, or simply unwind from the busy workdays. Whatever brings you peace, embrace it! Remember, practicing self-custody puts you ahead of 99%. 1 #Bitcoin = 1 #Bitcoin, and your wealth remains truly yours—you’re the bank now! 😎 Be free, be #unstoppable, #plebs!

Good night, #Nostr! Have sweet dreams, #plebs! Remember, the future is ours to shape. May #Bitcoin be with you!

After almost 15 years of working—starting as an intern and growing into a senior engineer—I’ve spent most of my career chasing higher earnings. But for much of that time, I ignored the loss of purchasing power caused by fiat money. Inflation sucks, guys. Imagine working 9-to-5 for over a decade, only to watch central banks dissolve half your savings through their reckless policies. #Bitcoin isn’t just a hype for me, it’s true #freedom and #sovereignty, a way to escape the rat race by breaking their rules (and my chains). The more I understand #Bitcoin, the more I realize it’s not about getting rich, it’s about building a better world. A world free from the careless decisions of a political elite that sees us as nothing more than numbers. Helping others understand this freedom, orange-pilling them, isn’t just a choice; it’s a responsibility. #StudyBitcoin

One thing you won’t believe, #nostriches and #plebs! Spain just introduced a fresh new tax called the "solidarity tax". Isn’t it beautiful? The government is driving me up the wall so badly that all I want is enough #Bitcoin to tell them to go fuck themselves! No KYC #Bitcoin protects you from this theft. Stay #sovereign, guys!

Let’s go, #nostriches! Day 2 of my #Rust journey. After a successful hello-world using a slim Docker image, today’s mission is to dive into the documentation 🧐. I’m excited to see what #Rust brings to the table that could outshine #Golang—a language I know like the back of my hand. Fueled by endless #coffee! #DevLife #LearningRust

#gm #Nostr! A fresh new day! Let’s keep stacking #sats, spreading the orange pill, and fighting for #freedom and #decentralization. 🚀 The day is too short, so I’m running with it. #Coffee, I invoke you—let’s transform you into amazing things. May #Bitcoin be with you, #plebs!

#gn, #Nostr! Another day down, and 1 #BTC = 1 #BTC. The world keeps spinning, but #Nostr is still free, #decentralized, and #unstoppable. Rest well, #plebs, #freedom is yours!

#Bitcoin gives me peace of mind in a society that’s far less free than I had hoped. With #Bitcoin, you can operate freely without government permission, stack it to build generational wealth, and do so without answering to bureaucrats or their endless taxes. It’s the true definition of #unconfiscable ownership. And don’t forget, #plebs, we are still so early! May the #Bitcoin be with you! ⚡🙂‍↕️

Being a dad and a Software Engineer can feel overwhelming at times—so many ideas, so many goals, and never enough hours in the day! 🤣 But hey, #plebs and #devs, every small step forward is progress. Days feel short, but #coffee is always helping 🚀

Hello, #Rust 🚀! Today’s the day to dive into something I’ve been wanted to learn for a while. Time to spread my wings, get the ball rolling, and start transforming #coffee into code. Let’s make it happen!

#gm #Nostr! A new day, a fresh chance to build, grow, and push forward! Keep stacking #sats, keep learning, and keep inspiring. The future is bright and full of opportunities. Stay #unstoppable, #plebs!

Hey #Nostr community, I'm curious. What does #Bitcoin mean to you? Everyone has their own story and perspective, shaped by their unique experiences and circumstances. For some I’ve asked, it’s "true money" or "unconfiscable property". For others—like me—it’s #freedom and #privacy, a way to keep my wealth away from an unwanted "partner" like the government—as an European, I think I already pay enough taxes 😭. Some even see it as the doom of modern states, the ultimate resistance to the Leviathan. Bitcoin carries so many meanings, and each one offers a new insight or lesson I might not have considered. What’s your story, #plebs? I’d love to read how Bitcoin has shaped your life or thinking! 🙂 #asknostr

Hey #Nostr! Does anyone know of platforms where you can offer your services as a #Developer / #DevOps / Software Engineer and get paid in #bitcoin? Ideally, I’m looking for something #P2P, without KYC, and with safe mechanisms like escrow to avoid scams. The less the hungry government is involved, the better. Any recommendations? #asknostr

WTF! The Euro has lost over 40% of its purchasing power since 2000, yet some people still call #Bitcoin a scam 🤣. Fiat is on an inevitable path to zero, it's only a matter of time. Save your value in real money, #plebs. The time is now! 🙂‍↕️⚡

Sometimes it feels like I’m living in an absurd comedy simulation. Europeans need to wake up and kick their political class out. If Europe ever achieves something good, it’s always in spite of its governments, not because of them. Fortunately, we have #Nostr and #Bitcoin.
