Back where my bitcoin journey began, Sofia, Bulgaria. BTC Balkans conference this weekend ✌️

Just gonna say it how it is… If you HODL and never spend or use your bitcoin, you are a spectator, not a participant. Bitcoin’s price goes higher when more people accept it as payment. If you want NGU, spend and replace. Get in the game.

Artists need bitcoin. Bitcoin needs artists. And us bitcoiners need to spend our sats… that is, IF we want bitcoin to avoid the fate of gold. As an artist myself I can’t tell you how much a small zap means. It’s not about the amount, but the intention. @Bitcoin For The Arts

If weight is such an issue for carry on bags then why are we not weighing the humans who get on the flight as well? IMO doesn’t make sense to fret over 2-3kg when some people have 50kg extra weight on them. Like most things that make 0 sense, it’s a scheme to make more money.

The best way to end a fight is to walk away. Especially when you know you’re going to get your ass kicked. The state knows exactly what to do when things get violent. Non violence, non compliance, peaceful resistance is the way.

Do you like to buy bitcoin? Guess what, when you spend and replace you get to smash buy more often.

Filmmaking = low time preference Podcasting = high time preference Both great mediums but there’s something special about going to great lengths to tell a story and finally releasing it into the wild. @My First Bitcoin Bigger Than Bitcoin ep. 2 premieres today at @PUBKEY NYC

Nostr got some good advertising yesterday. The centralized system cannot help but eat itself. @Simply Bitcoin @but

Chopped the mop

One practice I subscribe to is once a week having a multisport highly physical day of activity. Just finished a two hour bike ride heading home for a snack and then to the climbing gym. Grateful for October sunshine and dry trails.

Discomfort = growth Challenge = opportunity Lean in. It’s go time.

@npub1lhzh...fe2x just sent me this screen grab. Ben is the editor for the @My First Bitcoin Bigger Than Bitcoin documentary series- this is for episode 2, Indonesia. The way Ben weaves the story together in Indonesia is truly outstanding, and I can’t wait to share it when it goes live next week. @npub1y4qd...hcr3 @npub15rwx...y7fh

On the ballot in Washington state. 2026. 4th turning.

So I finally dove into vibe coding this week… sheesh

1 BTC = 1 BTC

In the age of intelligence, physical fitness is more important than ever. The ai is not going to cure your cancer or undo years of poor health choices.

There is no dollar amount of value that you can put on the feeling of knowing that your time and energy is not being stolen by the bankers who control the printer.

Can’t wait to get back to Bulgaria and have coffee at this spot, Urban Embassy.

Headed back to Sofia, Bulgaria for BTC Balkans October 30-31. If you’re in the region definitely come!

Years of preaching bitcoin to my brother and he’s never “gotten it.” Today he called me saying he thinks bitcoin might be the only solution to many problems we see in the world today. Just goes to show that we all find bitcoin when the time is right. He’s feeling the effects of inflation and uncertainty about the future and leading him to ask the right questions. At the end of the day, it’s an individual journey.
