Excellent video on the oil crisis that is about to explode… @Peruvian Bull thanks for breaking this down. Bad news for energy prices…

Seattle is going to have a bitcoin vendor event… let’s goooo

Bitcoin is hope.

Bitcoin walk. Great conversation.

Outrageous chemtrails in the Pacific Northwest today. Truly a crime to block the sun in February here where we barely get any sun to begin with.

Giving up nicotine. Great substance but time for a reset. Day 3 and surprisingly it’s been easy so far.

Next winter’s firewood secured. By far the biggest rounds I’ve ever gotten my hands on. 100+ year old tree had to go down because it was leaning over a house.

Bitcoin Medellin is happening next week. Already so stoked for the steaks and sunshine. I’ll take free headshots for you if you come to the conference. @npub18g7v...4m9p

A year ago @Nackoo2000 proposed the idea to make a movie about bitcoin adoption in Bulgaria. Over the next months we aligned our vision, started planning and launched a @Geyser campaign. Over 100 bitcoiners, primarily from Bulgaria, supported the project. 🙏 Others offered us places to stay, showed us around and let me follow them around with a camera. The project was made possible because the community showed up and helped out. In June, I traveled to Bulgaria with everything needed to make the film in one checked bag and a carry on. For the next month, I toured the country meeting the people building on bitcoin. The trip went incredibly well. We worked hard and didn’t waste a single opportunity. Excluding day 17 when I got food poisoning-everything, and I mean everything went our way. We finished the first phase and bulk of the production with 5TB of footage, including ~35 interviews. I returned home, started editing and in October returned a second time to film the BTC Balkans bitcoin conference. It was awesome to see the Bulgarians one roof, connecting with the other Balkan communities. I am now deep in the editing process and aiming to release the film in April 2026. It’s been a challenging and rewarding project and I am so glad I got to work with this crazy Bulgarian guy named Ivan to tell this story.

A few of the builders in the film are on Nostr: @Daniel [dnabg] @dmtrmrfv off-grid solar mining @George Manolov publishing house @Jordi Llonch Esteve @Alekandar Svetski Bansko Nomad Fest @npub1k8av...h7h7 bitcoin education, merchant adoption @Dimitar Manovski @npub1ruj9...y38p

3 minute interview with a Bulexit protestor in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. The lev is being replaced by the Euro Jan 1, 2026 and the vast majority of Bulgarians are against it.

Part of living on a bitcoin standard is surrounding yourself with builders.

One of the coolest uses of Nostr I’ve ever seen @npub1qf9p...auu5 Zapping speakers in real time. Every conference needs this. @Efrat Fenigson on stage @Francis Mars @Adopting Bitcoin @Reverend Hodl

Went surfing at Sunzal/Tunco today. Awesome wave for learning and nice vibe despite being pretty crowded. Meanwhile bitcoin price is dumping? IMO bitcoin gives us the opportunity to not worry about having a second job as a financial manager, and just live our lives.

@npub1qf9p...auu5 makes it possible to zap speakers during their talks! @Efrat Fenigson crushing it teaching us about CBDCs and why we need grassroots bitcoin adoption. It is the bitcoin builders who will take us to the bright orange future. @Francis Mars

I know it’s cringe to tell anyone what to engage with on Nostr, but…. If we want Nostr to grow we bitcoiners should engage with non-bitcoin related content here. Anyone finding Nostr who isn’t a bitcoiner is here for a reason- whether they understand it or not.

This is why I’m still on Twitter 🤣

Hating on bitcoin gets boosted on Twitter because bitcoiners interact with it. Sometimes I can’t help it either but typically when I see bitcoin FUD I think to myself, “HFSP” and then I close twitter and open Nostr.

BTC Balkans 2025- @Nackoo2000 had a vision for a bitcoin only event that unites the Balkans countries and rejects fiat. 7 Balkan countries attended, @npub1musq...v5kr and @Blockstream sponsored and the presentations/panels were fantastic. If you want to build on bitcoin, smaller regional conferences are the way to make lasting connections.

Exploring Sofia before BTC Balkans. Bulgaria continues to grow on me!
