Just got word that I’ll be speaking at BTC Balkans 2025 🤯 This is one of those “imposter syndrome” moments for me… but after obsessing over bitcoin and witnessing how it’s changed my life- mentally, physically, spiritually and professionally I definitely have a lot to share. See you in Sofia, Bulgaria October 18! A massive thank you for the invitation @Nackoo2000

Bitcoin Jungle: 72 hour bitcoin challenge, video just dropped! All star squad with appearances from: @npub1vz0j...56eq @npub1849n...0qen @Jordi Llonch Esteve @paul keating @Tico 🇨🇷 @Micael If you haven’t yet, check out @Satlantis: Social Events

GM! Since getting back from Bulgaria I haven’t been sleeping as well… I turned the WiFi off last night and sleep like a baby…

Good vibes at the crag. 3 hours into the session we started talking about housing affordability… couldn’t help myself from casually mentioning, “I save in bitcoin, so actually everything, including housing gets cheaper for me over time.” One of my buddies gets it. The other kept talking about how we need more regulations to keep housing prices down 🤔 Nothing like a good conversation in nature.

There needs to be a nostr enabled application that incentivizes people to leave reviews and pays small amounts of sats in return. Maybe @Satlantis: Social Events can build this into their app.

I have an open mind and there are not many hills I would die on… but using bitcoin as money (and not just HODLing) is one thing where I am completely radicalized. I’ve lost interest in the podcasts I found interesting earlier in my bitcoin journey. Bitcoins price goes up forever so why waste time talking about it… on that note I’m glad I found Rock Paper Bitcoin, Ben Wehrman and others putting out high signal content without any clickbait NGU bullshit. I understand NGU gets clicks and I’m in the content game now so I have to think about what might catch the YouTube algorithm but at this point all I want to do is spend bitcoin, earn bitcoin and live my life. GN.

Lance from Ordermoon on the podcast. Recorded in Bansko, Bulgaria. We discuss how bitcoin is the ONLY way to avoid the threat of CBDCs, the strategies he’s found successful for onboarding merchants to accept bitcoin and why so many feel an urge to break free from the fiat system. Full episode available on YouTube and podcast players:

GM Nostr! It’s so much fun to send generational wealth across the internet to random people.

I studied contentious Chinese politics in college, and I learned a few very insightful things. For one, it is a myth that the Chinese government (CCP) does not allow dissent online. If you live in China, you are more than welcome to type away on the keyboards and voice your discontent into the abyss of the Internet. But the minute you start to form an organization with the intention to take action that is when the hammer of tyranny comes down. For example, there is an organization called Falun Gong which practices meditation and breathing exercises and was/still is brutally victimized, including, forcing its members to have organ transplants and other horrific acts of torture. This organization has a strong, formal communication structure where one person can disseminate information to 100 million members. It is the system of communication and formalized action-oriented structure that threatens the CCP. The United States government is not much different. We are sold the narrative that we have freedom, we can “vote” or call our congressman, but in reality nothing fundamentally changes. Wars go on, inflation rises and life gets harder for the average person. If we want to truly resist, we need to take action outside of social media. That’s largely why I am so bullish on building circular economies and bitcoin communities. Us bitcoiners have aligned values and a relatively consistent vision for the future. We want to be free and we are actually doing something about it. But HODLing, like typing on the keyboards and into our smartphones is not going to be enough. The government wants us to HODL. They want us to give up our bitcoin for a fiat loan or for some “yield.” This is a long game and they know exactly what they’re doing. Michael Saylor is either in on it or wildly naive. I was hopeful that the new Trump presidency would bring about even a little bit of positive change. But I was wrong. I’m now of the mindset the change will not happen without courageous individuals taking action.

Being a critical thinker alienated me from many of my childhood friends, especially when I was speaking out against Covid with the propaganda machine was in full force. Now I feel sorry for every person who called me a grandma killer or excluded me from their social circles. I held the line and didn’t get the jab, they did. Unlike them, I don’t have to worry about developing some sort of weird blood clot or turbo cancer as a result. Salute to those who held the line, and to those who got it, but now see through the bullshit. There will be another crisis and we will be tested again. Stay ready.
