I am done hiring non bitcoiners and I’m now charging double to be paid in fiat. Bitcoiners don’t need their hand held. They get shit done and don’t create such a hassle. I currently have a client refusing to pay me for 3 days of work. I told them if they sign a waiver of rights to the footage and pay me 2/3 of the agreed upon rate in bitcoin I’d accept it and still they refuse. Filing the small claims suit tomorrow to get paid in full. Unfortunate because I’m not a fan of litigiousness but this is my livelihood and I have to stand up for myself.

Build the things you want to see in the world. @Stoyan Petrov and Dimitir made this DIY vending machine for the Sofia Bitcoin Club.

A few thoughts on deciding what to do professionally. On the last day of the semester in Strategic Management class, our professor, Adam Wowak shared a piece of advice that I'll never forget. I'll paraphrase, but essentially he said: "If there's one thing I want you guys to remember from this class it's this. There are three types of people. The first type loves what they do. They found their calling and get paid to do it. The second type hates their job. This is good because they know they need to make a change. The third type is so-so about their job. They're good at it, the money is decent, they might like their colleagues... this group is at risk of waking up at 50 wondering, "where did the last 25 years just go?"' He went on to tell us about why he left his career in investment banking to become a professor and how imparting knowledge on the next generation was his true calling in life. This hit me hard, and since then I have lived by his advice. Sure, I've had days that I'm not stoked about, clients that frustrate me and self-doubt about if I'm doing the right thing... but I refuse to be the guy who looks back on life with regret about what I could have done. There is single definition of career "success." We define it ourselves. To me, success is waking up excited about what I will do for the next 16 hours. How I feel in those first moments of the day tells me if I'm on the right path. Last year I exited my supplement company and decided to move my time and energy towards bitcoin. It was the best decision I've ever made. Since then, I've traveled the world attending bitcoin conferences, started a podcast (We Are Satoshi) and I am currently making a full-length documentary film. Oh, and I've made more money than I ever did with a full-time job. My unsolicited advice to Nostr today is, START WITH PASSION. Being passionate about what you do is a cheat code. Time slows down. Every day is an adventure. You will find yourself working harder, going above and beyond to improve your skills, and aligning with people who share your values and are willing to help you get where you want to go. I tell this story not to get kudos or likes on my post. I really don't care. I share this because the truth is, TIME is the most valuable resource we have. What we do with our precious time and energy is what we will think about on our deathbeds.

Well, today would have been a clear blue sky if it weren’t for the crime against humanity also known as chemtrails. No, chemtrails is not a “conspiracy theory” and if you think so I encourage you to look up and think for yourself. Who is doing this and for what purpose is completely beside the point. It’s happening and we the people did not consent. What would happen if I sprayed these same chemicals from an aerosol can into my neighbors yard even for 5 minutes? They would call the cops and I would be arrested for attempted murder. In my opinion this is an issue we bitcoiners need to come together to stop. It’s also frustrating because unlike opting out of the fiat system and living on a bitcoin standard, an individual cannot really stop this on their own. 15 years I’ve been aware of this and while it seems like finally people are waking up to it, the crime continues. I didn’t see any spraying in Bulgaria in 25 days there. I arrive in Germany and I haven’t seen a blue sky yet.

When you’re young, you have time and energy, but no money. When you’re middle-aged, you have money and energy, but no time. When you’re old, you have money and time, but no energy. If you’re waiting to retire to live your life you’ll die with regret. Whatever you feel called to do, do it before it’s too late. Find a way to do it cheap.

9/11 was the event that woke me up and accelerated my journey to find bitcoin. I remember arguing passionately that there’s no way it was an inside job. “The government wouldn’t do that,” “too many people would need to be involved” etc. Eventually I did the research and came to my own conclusion. The shorts on American/United Airlines, the missing footage and plane wreckage at the Pentagon, the $2.3T reported missing the day before… not to mention WTC7, which went from a 47 story building to a 40 foot tall pile of rubble in under 7 seconds at the rate of free fall… These unanswerable questions changed how I look at the world. By the time the scamdemic came in 2020 I didn’t believe it for a second. I’d seen the fear/crisis playbook before and I didn’t fall for it. I was never fearful of the “virus” and while others people’s brains broke and lives were destroyed from the jab, I kept building. Kept leveling up. That’s the power of critical thinking. I’d probably be a no coiner sheep if it weren’t for the outrageous false flag and obvious propaganda that was pushed on me since I was a kid. Whatever comes next I have a feeling it will test even the strongest minds. We cannot let the evil people win. This is why I bitcoin and why I Nostr.

Every time I’ve a story about lost coins from bitcoins early days the result is the same. Coins gone forever. But this one is different. Josh was in a bad place in his life and remembered he had put bitcoin on a hard drive in 2010. He found a trustworthy consultant at Porcfest, recovered the bitcoin and is now rebuilding his life and working out of Strategy Hub. Very cool story check it out on YouTube or podcast players👌

It’s not every day I get the chance to watch the sun rise over the Black Sea. Last full day in Bulgaria 🇧🇬

Idk how anyone remembers who they meet at bitcoin conferences when nobody uses a real profile picture. I get the privacy thing but it comes with significant trade offs. IMO it’s a risk I’ll take and if you come mess with me I have a loaded AR-15 in my house at all times and carry a concealed pistol everywhere I go. Good luck.

Every single one of us has the power to contribute to the bitcoin movement. Thanks for having me Bulgaria 🇧🇬
