Almost 24 hours later, I’m back on NOSTR due to my commitment (to myself) to post on NOSTR at least once a day, here’s today’s post: It’s my “dad day” today, so we’re heading to the beach to play. Just as important as Bitcoin. Lower your time preference—your kids are only young once. #bitcoin #grownostr

Okay, I’ve worked six days in a row, including Saturday and most of Sunday, all on Bitcoin. I’m going ‘off’ for about 24 hours now to chill with my kids and brothers. We are going to win 🔥🚀 #bitcoin #grownostr

Goooodmorning!! And for my fellow Dutchies: Goeduhhh meeeeurgen Not sure how many Dutch folks we already have on NOSTR. But for the ones who are: Zojuist nieuwe podcast live gekomen: Met Roel Wolfert (schrijver Regio 4.0) Enjoy!

Oh wait!!! I do have something interesting to share. I’m currently back in the Netherlands (my home country), and in The Hague, there’s literally one of the best ice cream shops in the world. It’s called ‘het IJSKABINET.’ If you’re ever there, it’s a must-visit. It tastes like a dream. No, even better, it tastes like hyperbitcoinization. #grownostr #bitcoin

Oh shit! I promised myself I would post on NOSTR every day for at least a year. So, since I have nothing to share… This is the post—just to make sure I keep my end of the bargain. #grownostr #bitcoin

You’re going to love this… My daughter (7) and I had a little conversation this morning where ‘the system’ came up, and I explained a few things. After about 15 minutes, she asked me: ‘But Dad, why do they take the money you worked for when they can just print it?’ My girl. #bitcoin #grownostr

Absolutely love this image. It says so much more than just that quote. It says that what we worshipped or aspired to be in the fiat world is completely irrelevant in the Bitcoin world. #bitcoin #grownostr

I’m starting to really enjoy myself on NOSTR. I’m either interacting with a group of people who are way ahead of their time, or I’m interacting with no one, which basically means talking to and with myself. On one hand, I’m growing from the outside in (outrospection), and on the other, from the inside out (introspection). Loving it 😉 #grownostr #bitcoin

Can you imagine what it was like to buy Bitcoin for 1 dollar? No? Neither can I. I was totally focused on other things and too clueless at the time to understand why Bitcoin would later become valuable. But now, I can take advantage of NOSTR before it gains widespread recognition and usage. So that when the time comes, I can benefit from all the value that will manifest on NOSTR. And yes, I’ll definitely show this message as proof that I was onto something and smart enough to act on it this time. Also, to show that nobody cared back then, haha (with zero likes as evidence, of course 🤣👏🏼🤣) #grownostr #bitcoin

You could say that NOSTR has the potential to surpass even Bitcoin if “decentralized communication” ultimately enables global free speech and unrestricted access to information for everyone. As an early adopter, I might “benefit” by building a following now and capturing the “attention” that’s likely to surge as this platform grows. Does that sound right? What are your thoughts?

How long before your (potential) clients are on NOSTR? How long before people start discussing other topics besides Bitcoin/decentralization tech? That will likely attract the masses a bit more. I’m really curious to see if NOSTR will follow the same adoption curve as Bitcoin in that regard. We’re incredibly early.

My wife and I both want to work out every day. And we manage to do it. Despite having two young children, it being summer vacation, never sending them away, and both running our own businesses. What’s your excuse? 🔥👏🏼🔥

Any Dutchies on this platform who might be interested in my new podcast..? A market update about last week and the reason why this eventually leads to Bitcoin going to 1 M (at least)

The reasons why people often lack the confidence to literally build a business around their passion are twofold: 1. They’ve been told a BS story their whole lives that it’s not possible and that work should actually feel like “work”. 2. They lack the perseverance and trust that things will get better as long as success is still absent. Having a low time preference, Bitcoin & the right kind of people surrounding you will definitely help 🙏🏼

Had a more than amazing weekend with my family and other relatives. Now just relaxing on the couch for a bit, and ready for a great week full of value creation related to Bitcoin. Let’s do this 🔥

I see a lot of people who want to ‘live in freedom’ being very dependent on LinkedIn, Twitter, etc (myself partially included). But at the same time, I also see them being dependent on their crappy job or running a business they don’t feel much passion for. I find both just as foolish, if not hypocritical. However, I do understand it. The point being: it all stems from fear. The fear that you won’t make it without them.

The first period is always somewhat easy when it comes to a “habit change.” The real challenge lies in sticking with it (the discipline part). For now, I’m simply sticking with NOSTR. It was the same when it came to our world trip and setting up a location-independent business so that you can be “free” forever. In the beginning, both my wife and I were incredibly enthusiastic about traveling full-time with our kids and diving right into figuring out how to make money on the go. But after a year of traveling and relatively little to show for it (working hard and a lot for little), it really comes down to discipline and, yes, your vision, so you are constantly reminded of why you’re doing it. Now, four years later, we’ve made it. And it only seems to get easier. I suspect the same will be true for my presence on NOSTR. 🙏🏼 #grownostr
