Today I sold the couch and the curtains… moving out of the apartment next Monday… after a trip home to see grandma & the parents I will start living out of the HDJ80 Land Cruiser and head south to Argentina 🇦🇷 I might not have a fiat job anymore, but I am going to squeeze these sats for all they are worth as I travel South America for the next couple years. Excited to go back to basics minimal amount of stuff maximum time to kitesurf & surf, volunteer, educate and adventure ⛰️🏄‍♂️💨🌊🙏🏼

GM 🌞 While you are having your morning coffee ☕️ please take this thought into consideration… We cannot just sit back and expect bitcoin to change the world while we wait… WE have to put our energy, time, blood & sweat into educating and helping the world discover how bitcoin enables freedom and protects our futures in a time where freedom is anything but easy and our future is uncertain. I was just a pleb with no real bitcoin maxi friends a couple years ago… I don’t code, I am not a technical person, and I actually don’t even like computers all that much… I spend as little time on them as possible 😆 But after I found bitcoin I put the hours in to study this technology and set myself up to live on a bitcoin standard. I did not know where my place was in the bitcoin world. I didn’t have any special skills relevant to this technical space, and I never really thought bitcoin needed me. I got inspired by the work @ODELL & @MartyBent were doing to educate and put themselves out there for the plebs, and I decided to get involved… & now, after over a year of building a community with a wonderful and diverse group of maxis I am proud to call friends down here in Paraguay 🇵🇾 , I know that I was wrong… bitcoin needs all of us… every one of us… because WE are the ones who use it, defend it, argue and shout and get fired up about it, keep it relevant, and help bring it to those around us to spread its impact and reach around the world to ever corner. bitcoin has real enemies… it is a tool and a weapon for the people to use against those who would oppress us for generations more to come. With it, we can fight. With it, we have HOPE to be able to create a better future… But honestly, I do not believe that bright version of our future is going to happen if the majority of us who “get it” just sit back and wait for NGU… or simply stack while others take the risks to build communities and educate businesses… or wait for others to build new services we need when they have the skills to build themselves… If every one of us do not do our part in whatever way we can, with the talents & time we have, to push the needle…to shoulder the load we can and drive us towards this beautiful & bright future… I believe we MAY fall to the suits, politicians, bankers, and wankers who want a world where a small few enjoy freedom while the rest live in a digital prison they never question. That is not the world I want for my future children, or for my aging parents… & I will fight with everything I’ve got to not allow it to go down that way. I will fight with the skills, time, and energy I do have… and I am going to continue to shoulder a load and help to push. Everyone will have their own way to contribute… we all have different strengths and abilities and availability… but one thing I know for a fact, is that we are stronger together, and that a small group of dedicated individuals CAN change the world. We now have hundreds of people coming to our community events each month, and are orange-pilling people and businesses in numbers I would not have believed possible a year ago. bitcoin needs you. We need you. You’re the only one who can reach the special part of the world you touch and influence. Join us. Meditate on how you can contribute… Decide on a course of action… Take the first step… Help us build the future we all deserve Let’s fucking go ✊🏼 🚀 Shout out to my crew of toxic bitcoin maxis who are moving the needle down here in Paraguay 🇵🇾 You are all an inspiration and I’m proud to be alongside you pushing forward @Jan Kotas @Juan @Viviana Van Cayzeele @Seb @Bruno @Short Fiat @Stallion

GM 🫡 Crazy to realize that one day “stay humble, stack sats” will be a global household quote that will match, then surpass, bangers like “a piece of cake”, “it’s not rocket science”, “break a leg”, “cost an arm and a leg”… We witnessed the birth of it… and one day we will tell our grandchildren the story of how sticking to that powerful mantra helped us front-run the suits of the old world Stay humble, stack sats 🫡 View quoted note →

I own my time… Every day, every hour, I get to choose what to focus on… I no longer have to sit in traffic 1.5-2 hours each way on 3 different ice-coated highways to punch in to a job (been there) I no longer have to book ahead to plan my precious free time, work through holidays, request permission to schedule vacations… and then try to squeeze every once of joy out of them while trying not to stress out because even taking the damn break puts me in a position of being buried when I return to catch back up with the mountain of obligations (been there) This is why you should become a bitcoiner… Not because of some random assortment of shit you’ll be able to afford to buy… Because you will be able to own your own time and live your life on your own terms, with your own desires and interests to drive you… HODLing is NOT the easy path… it’s the narrow and difficult one… but it does lead to freedom It set me free… it can set you free too #bitcoin #hodl #plebchain #btc #coffeechain
