Venezuela has accumulated a “shadow” Bitcoin reserve worth over $60 billion USD since 2018, through gold swaps and crypto oil payments to bypass sanctions. In 2024 it held about $3.5 billion USD in BTC; with Maduro’s capture, a dump risk exists, but it creates market opportunities.

What will happen to the 600k+ BTC? #Bitcoin #Venezuela #Crypto #Geopolitics #FinancialMarkets

But with the USA intervention in Venezuela, does international law still have any meaning? After 26 years of dictatorship, it was necessary for someone to take action — but will this be just a precedent for future events, or merely the latest in a long list we've already forgotten? #Venezuela #ISA #InternationalLaw #Geopolitics #HumanRights #Dictatorship #GlobalAffairs #WorldPolitics #HistoryInTheMaking #Reflections #NostrNews #Freedom #Sovereignty #Truth

This was a great day

The Venezuelan saga further reinforces the importance of Bitcoin. Unseizable, immutable, unprintable raw financial self sovereignty.

Rereading this 2021 article on 21ideas.org today: “Can Bitcoin Survive An Apocalypse?” got me thinking deeply. Bitcoin isn’t just digital money: it’s the MOST RESILIENT network in the world, decentralized and off-grid. It survives internet blackouts, wars, or catastrophes thanks to mesh networks (like goTenna), Blockstream satellites, SMS, amateur radio, or even sneakernet. Imagine “Bitcoin citadels” with solar power for nodes and mining: true economic sovereignty, even in chaos. Gold? Heavy and stealable. Banks? Gone without the net. BTC is immortal data. What do you think? Will Bitcoin save the post-apocalyptic world? #Bitcoin #BTCArchitecture #Apocalypse #Nostr Link:

Today is a blue Monday..

Just back on track posting pictures of my lovely Lake of Como… I’m curious about what Alessandro Volta could think about Bitcoin…

I envision a future where a client will ask me, “Architect, can I pay you in BTC?” To which I’ll respond, “But of course!”

The debate over Bitcoin’s role as a store of value versus a medium of exchange continues. The introduction of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) may prompt a reassessment of Bitcoin’s utility, potentially influencing its perceived function in the financial system.
