I have to say that I have a love hate relationship with Prague. About a week or two is enough for me and then I want to leave. Although it's getting better and I think I'm seeing the beauty and benefits. I'm in love phase now, but seriously, dog shit everywhere on streets is quite annoying. And this is not even in Bratislava, let alone Latin America. Why? (Also used to be very common in Vienna, but I think they somehow made it better).

The quote is by @Paul Rosenberg View quoted note →

When I talk to people about cryptoanarchy, I often get: "So you are hiding? Escaping? You can't deal with your shit?" @npub1qj0q...596l said it beautifully: "Not to hide, but to become without opposition." That allows you to fully unleash your creativity.

Soudruh Radim Kozub má nový podcast "Hra o bodoucnost"! A prvá epizóda je s @Josef Tětek Dajte si!

It's time to dump fiat on retail

Yesterday I had the privilege to dine at a pop-up @BTC Prague speakers dinner. The whole experience was led and made by @the BTC Chef and his team. If you are in Berlin where he runs his restaurants Horváth, go! One of the things I like most in this world is when I meet someone who is just outstanding at what they do. I don't even mean best, because at this level of "being in your element" I think it's no longer about comparing yourself to others, but bringing something from within that no one else can create (see

Being Primary – Juraj Bednar

) Thank you Sebastian and everyone, that was truly a unique experience. Honestly I was expecting someone being briefed on Bitcoin buzzwords to attach them to the meals. I was so wrong and I love being wrong on these things. ❤️ (Shitty photos follow, I'm definitely no photographer).

Fyzická verzia knihy Krotitelia Entropy vyzerá nádherne a prichádza s dodatočnými kúl vecami v balíčku v Premium verzii. Ale vieme aj to, že poštovné (a v niektorých prípadoch clo) vie byť komplikované a drahé. Preto sme konečne spravili aj elektronické stiahnuteľné verzie — e-knihu vo formáte epub a audioknihu ako m4b súbor plus voliteľnú Android appku, ktorá obsahuje prehrávač a všeličo iné. Súčasťou sú aj inštrukcie, aké appky použiť, aby ste vedeli, čo so súbormi urobiť. Kniha je dostupná v angličtine (originál), slovenčine a češtine. Fyzické vydania (paperback aj premium) zostávajú dostupné ako doteraz. Budeme aj na BTC Prague na stánku Liberation Travel, ak by ste sa chceli o knihe porozprávať alebo si kúpiť fyzickú verziu. Ak akúkoľvek formu chcete, môžete začať tu:

Tamers of Entropy

Tamers of Entropy

Walk the parallel path. Build the world that should exist. A novel about consciousness, sovereignty, and taming entropy — in English, Slovak, and...

My @SimpleX Chat plugin changes to Hermes Agent are now merged, so now you can have the full SimpleX experience as I had for weeks now if you are running upstream and not my feature branch:). What's the point of running your own hermes agent if you connect it to spyware such as Telegram anyway? Works with media, including voice messages both ways (if you have STT and TTS - I run all local, whisper for STT, kittten-tts as a lightweight but soothing TTS:).

We're gonna Bitchat and Mesh(core) insanely during @FreedomTechSummit and @BTC Prague. 1.) If you have a MeshCore device, bring it, join #btcprague and #mesh (the latter is for Bitchat bridged traffic). There was a new firmware v1.16 launched yesterday. Flash it, so you are bleeding edge. Set 2-byte in experimental settings to be even cooler. Set the Czech preset. Say hi, so it's lively, we are already on! 2.) If you don't have a MeshCore device, install Bitchat on your phone. If you have an iPhone, sell it for sats and buy a normal phone that works, such as Pixel with @GrapheneOS. OK, iPhone will work a little, if you keep the app running in foreground, but that sucks, get a normal phone. In any case, say hi on Bitchat. The bridge should be running in the area (Hotel Duo during FTS, event venue near @Liberation Travel stand during BTCPrague). 3.) Coordinate hugs, kisses and selfies. While you are near @Liberation Travel, you can get a free T-shirt of liberated people, buy your copy of @Tamers of Entropy and we even have some MeshCore nodes (Wio Tracker L1 Pro) for sale, but they'll be sold out quickly, only a few left after the last event. 📡📱🚀🌓 [EOF]

You have no boss, nobody tells you what to do, and yet most of what you do just runs on tracks someone else laid down. Activists and reformers look primary from a distance: they're moving, organizing, getting things done. But their version of "getting things done" usually collapses into either persuading the people in power or worming their way into the hierarchy. Being primary is something else. You create from the inside because you can't not do it, even if no one were watching. And it's rare. Apparently there are more psychopaths in the world than genuine primary creators.

Being Primary – Juraj Bednar

Nemáš šéfa, nikto ti nehovorí, čo máš robiť, a aj tak väčšina toho, čo robíš, len kopíruje cestičky vyšliapané niekým iným. Aktivisti a reformátori vyzerajú na prvý pohľad primárne, hýbu sa, organizujú, niečo s tým robia, lenže ich „robiť s tým niečo" sa zvyčajne zvrhne na presviedčanie tých pri moci alebo na votretie sa do hierarchie. Byť primárny je čosi iné: tvoríš z vlastného vnútra, lebo nemôžeš inak, aj keby sa nikto nepozeral. A je to vzácne.

Ako byť primárny – Juraj Bednar

A have a request for those of you who have already read @Tamers of Entropy I will present it at @BTC Prague and @FreedomTechSummit and I'm too deep in it, so I would like to ask you - how would you tell about what the book is about, why should people read it, or anything about it really without spoiling the story too much. Also tell me if you want to be credited or anonymous. Can be a DM if you don't want to write it publicly. I'm just looking for words here 😁

If you are at MoneroKon in Warsaw or @Bitcoin FilmFest , visit the booth of @Liberation Travel They have @Tamers of Entropy for sale, which is the best way to get it, because shipping is pain. And why? If you are into cypherpunk, the problem is you don't come into intimate contact with people who are already living it, because if they are really cypherpunk/cryptoanarchist, they don't really talk about how they view the world, and what they actually do. That's why I decided to write it in a fiction form - you can experience something I think is very close to reality, but without revealing intimate details of anyone in particular. I like to call it "documentary sci-fi", because it does not rely on any future tech, it just describes the parallel world, how it would look (or looks), how people who are living it think, etc... Hope you enjoy it, give Liberation Travel a visit. And if not, I'll be also at @BTC Prague (also Liberation Travel booth).
