the war on privacy is here. digital IDs just dropped, and this should worry us

Real pain is having your jewelry stolen.

Ready to lock in for the next 10 days before the next travel. LETS GO.

I asked @Jeff Booth why #Bitcoin is repricing everything. His answer blew my mind

They’ll sell you safety, they’ll promise security, and all you’ll have to give up is everything that makes you FREE.

My fiancee comes and tells me he has a surprise for me. The surprise: a ticket to another Hyrox competition. 🤦‍♀️ Welcome to my life.

why do people say that nothing backs up bitcoin? and they rather have a digital euro because if anything happens the government will give it back to you?

Martin came all the way from Switzerland to join us for the grand opening of the #Bitcoin Café on August 21, 2025. He spent over a week on Isla Mujeres exploring the island, paying with Bitcoin, and soaking in the good life. It’s Bitcoiners like him who make the daily hustle of building a circular economy truly worth it.

For some reason, traveling with so much bitcoin merch and things is making me nervous now. I hate the “declare” and “no declare” immigration station in mexico. It is the biggest scam. The biggest headache. The biggest symptom of a broken system. Every single person gets eyed up and down. They choose if you go to the room so they can search all your belongs as if you were a criminal. All to search if you are bringing more than 2 of something’s. If you have 2 laptops - pay taxes. If you have 10 of the same tshirts - pay taxes. Multiple of the same hats, pay taxes. Bringing Bitcoinize machines to give to your merchants? Pay taxes. Pray for me. I hate hate hate hate hate passing through and have them look through my stuff.

Money has always been broken.

If you are all in on #bitcoin, how do you explain to someone why you don’t diversify?

You know you are a grown up when your parents are not your emergency contact

Name a better breakfast.

Day 3 magic. Over the course of three days, four teams competed tirelessly day and night, both physically and mentally, to represent four merchants from BTC Isla who have played a huge role in the formation of the circular economy in Isla Mujeres, MX. 👉Heidi’s Marquesita and Churro stand 👉Jose’s Tacos Toro 👉Thomas leading the Taxi Bitcoiners 👉Samuel Mango and Fruit stand We managed to donate over 1.25 million sats. #bitcoin

Guess who won fittest man in btc isla?

Yoooo oooo some people can be SO RUDE AND ENTITLED. Like bro chill. Be nice. Don’t be self centered. And hypocritical. SMH.

I just learned something wild… Using two-factor authentication with a text message is pure baloney. It’s not “security” at all…it’s fraud waiting to happen. Here’s why: your phone provider can literally swap your number in minutes. That means a hacker can get your code just as easy as resetting a password on your email. All it takes is a SIM swap, and suddenly your “protection” is gone. That’s not security, that’s a clown show. Fiat world. More like clown world. 🤡

When we started GetBased last year, we made one promise: stack Bitcoin with every dollar we could. No selling. No trading. Just stacking. Fast forward 20 months. We’ve grown, hired, signed sponsors. But like every startup, cash flow is messy. Expenses hit before invoices clear. For the first time, we sat around the table and asked the question: “Do we sell some of our Bitcoin?” That hurt. Everything we’ve been building was about not giving up our stack. Then we remembered something most people overlook… YOU DON'T HAVE TO SELL YOUR #BITCOIN. We decided to do what the rich do...use our assets as collateral. That being said, getting a Bitcoin-backed loan will literally give us the cash runway we need WITHOUT touching a single sat. The Bitcoin...still ours. The business keeps building.... And we just unlocked the same playbook the wealthy have used for centuries: build on top of your assets instead of selling them. If you’re a builder, don’t sleep on this. Bitcoin-backed loans are the bridge between stacking and scaling.

Nostr is my new doctor.

Last week I had the worst stomach virus imaginable. Full on fever, chills, body aches, nausea. The nights were brutal, I’d wake up every hour running to the bathroom. It was complete hell. No medicine, no doctor, not even ChatGPT could give me relief. I was in straight agony. Then I posted about it on Primal, and someone told me to try activated charcoal. After 7 days of Pepto-Bismol, Treda, Vitamin C, and nothing working, I thought “screw it.” I took the activated charcoal and the very next day, I could finally hold myself together. Keep food down. Actually feel like myself again. Why am I telling you this? Because sometimes, people on the internet have gone so far down rabbit holes that they stumble on real solutions. Ones that don’t sound crazy at all and in most cases, they’re the cheapest and most obvious answers.
