Forget permission. Forget waiting for the “right time.” The system programmed you to hesitate. Bitcoin taught me to act. Proof of Work isn’t just for miners—it’s for life. Every rep, every block, every day you show up… that’s how you win. Stay dangerous. Stay building. Block by block, we’re rewriting the rules. #Bitcoin #ProofOfWork #HODL #StayDangerous #BTC #OrangePill #FreedomMoney #OptOut #BeYourOwnBank

I’ve been following the White Rabbit for years — and you can follow it endlessly. Long before COVID, I was already asking the right questions, spending long periods in deep isolation to figure out what this world is really about. This isn’t a one-day course — it’s a lifestyle you have to find for yourself. Believing in yourself isn’t easy in a programmed world. You have to uninstall the system they gave you and start again — from you. ₿ didn’t just change my money — it changed how I think, how I connect, and how I see the world. It’s proof that another system is possible. There’s far more possible than you can even imagine. #Bitcoin #FreedomMoney #DecentralizeEverything #Nostr #RabbitHole

Back on the regular roads 🚴‍♂️ — 40km in the legs today, feeling strong and keeping a solid 28km/h average. Nothing beats the freedom of cycling with the wind in your face and the world passing by at your own pace. #CyclingLife #RoadRide #Cycling #StayActive #BackOnTheBike

👣 This is how we travel. We move slow, we move together — and most often, we move on foot. With our daughter on my back, we hike through paths few tourists will ever see. Every kilometer teaches us something new. Every climb, every red dirt trail, every step taken with intention reveals more of Paraguay’s wild, hidden beauty. 🚫 No fancy vehicles. ✅ Just boots on the ground (or barefoot shoes 😅), curious minds, and a love for exploration. My wife is a pro at uncovering off-grid gems — from scenic hikes to stunning viewpoints. It’s thanks to her that our journey feels like one big treasure map. 📍Don’t let the simplicity fool you: this is the richest way to experience the world. #FamilyAdventure #Paraguay #SlowTravel #BackpackBaby #WalkingIsFreedom #HikingFamily #NostrTravel #OffTheGrid #VivoBarefoot #SeekAndExplore #NostrFamilies https://cdn.azzamo.net/46f0f544a792b938f895cfe8e9060533bc9702694f7658eb4376f0e23c68bb37.mp4

🌄 San Bernardino — short visit, sweet vibes 🇵🇾 We’re spending just a few days here this year — we’ve explored the area before, but it felt right to come back. We met up with people we connected with last time to catch up and talk future ideas. A little market walk, beautiful views, great food, and a villa that was maybe a bit too big for us — but hey, all part of the ride. Our daughter had a blast too — walking up the colorful stairs hand in hand with nostr:nprofile1qqswqjgl0hf4lyfl6v05mukhlqnup93cnrald8kmur6sgyd3wqef9wcpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqg5waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t0c9y6wp made for a pretty special moment. 💫 Sometimes you revisit places not for the sights, but for the people and energy. #SanBernardino #Paraguay #FamilyWalks #NostrTravel #CommunityConnections #BackpackBaby #ParaguayJourney

🏃‍♂️ Morning run with nostr:npub1upy37lwnt7gnl5clfhed07p8cztr3x8m760dhc84qsgmzupjj2aspwfdhj Running in Paraguay isn’t for the faint-hearted — especially on roads like these. With barefoot shoes, you feel every single stone… but that’s part of the challenge. Discipline over comfort. Always. Sharp mind, sharp body. #ParaguayRun #BarefootRunning #StaySharp #NostrTravel #MindsetMatters #MorningMiles #RunningAbroad

Cerro Koi 🧱⛰️ What a wild and unique formation. We hiked this natural wonder with our daughter in the backpack and enjoyed a peaceful moment at the top — panoramic views over the lake, the breeze, and just silence. This hill is made of polygonal sandstone columns, which is extremely rare in the world and only found in a few places. One of those… right here in Paraguay. We’re still staying in Areguá, but moved into a different house — a place with beautiful, thoughtful architecture and a warm, grounded energy. More about the house and what makes it so special in the comments. 👇 #CerroKoi #ParaguayAdventure #FamilyHike #NaturalWonders #BackpackBaby #NatureHealing #AreguaVibes #OffTheGrid #SlowLiving #DigitalNomads #LifeInParaguay #ParentingAbroad #WildSouthAmerica #EarthConnection #LakesideViews

Leg day, mindset locked in. 🔥 No matter where we are in the world — movement is medicine. Training hard, staying disciplined, growing stronger. Not just for the body, but the mind too. nostr:nprofile1qqswqjgl0hf4lyfl6v05mukhlqnup93cnrald8kmur6sgyd3wqef9wcpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqgkwaehxw309aexjunp0yhxummnw3erztnrdaksf99dsu is coaching me to gain weight and muscle mass, and I help him with other things — it’s all about give & take. Balance. Brotherhood. We value real exchange, not transactions. Stronger together. Always. 💪🏼 And yes… the ‘Silk Road Anonymous Market’ tee made it to the gym too — front and back 🐪 A little nod to freedom, cypherpunk ethos, and the power of building alternatives. #TrainHardTravelFar #LegDay #NomadFitness #StayFitStayFree #MindMuscleConnection #Brotherhood #GiveAndTake #SilkRoad #StackSats #FreeRoss #DigitalSovereignty #AnonymousLegacy #Bitcoin #Sats https://cdn.azzamo.net/a814364a9ad8a111cb6940a85bc52a76ae3bc67dd7a5d9396c02f96d4c77df8c.mp4

Winter days, muddy feet & strawberry bliss 🍓 Paraguayan winters are unpredictable — warm one day, grey and misty the next. And yet, that’s exactly what we love about it here in Areguá. When the weather flips, we leave the shoes behind and reconnect with the earth, quite literally. Mud between the toes, cold grass underfoot, lungs full of fresh lake air. No better way to ground ourselves — body and mind. This place has a rhythm of its own. Streets lined with trees, small paths leading to lake views, and everywhere you look… strawberries. Lots of them. We stumbled into the local Expo Frutilla, and wow — pies, juices, towers of fresh fruit. No filters needed. We’ve been hopping from place to place throughout this trip, but Areguá made us want to slow down. We’re staying longer — and switching to a new home soon. If it turns out cozy, we’ll share it too 😉 This season is all about balance: sweet treats and gym days, family time and silence, movement and recovery. Living it one step at a time. #Aregua #MudTherapy #StrawberryVibes #Paraguay #Barefoot #SlowTravel #ExpoFrutilla #NatureReset #GroundedLiving #FamilyNomads #LakeMoments #CoffeeAndPeace #HolisticRhythm

Areguá 🍓 — strawberry village vibes & tranquil living This might just be our favorite stop so far. Areguá is a peaceful little strawberry town nestled by the lake. Every corner has something to make you smile—markets overflowing with fresh berries, cozy cafés under the trees, and people who take life a little slower. We’ve been completely in the moment here. That’s also why this post came a bit late—no rush, no pressure, just now. 🍃 We try to keep balance: gym every day, long walks in nature, mindful eating (…but of course a good coffee with something sweet is part of the ritual ☕🍓). We’re enjoying this rhythm—a calm mind, strong body, grateful heart. #Aregua #Paraguay #digitalnomads #slowtravel #strawberrylife #lattewithaview #livinginthemoment #healingtrip #bitcoinjourney #mindfulmovement

A few quiet days in Coronel Oviedo 🇵🇾 Not much going on here — just time to slow down, reset, and enjoy being together as a family. We’re traveling with two close family members who feel like soulmates. Being around them feels natural — no masks, no effort, just real connection. 🧡 Our little one had a bit of a healing phase after a heavy and overstimulating week in Ciudad Del Este. Honestly, we all needed the downtime. Grateful for the space to breathe. We had a proper Paraguayan asado this week 🔥 All-you-can-eat meat straight from the grill, fresh veggies, and delicious sauces — for just €7 including a drink. We skipped the beer though — alcohol isn’t really our thing 🍃 The rest of the days were filled with: • ⚙️ Online work • 💪 Training at a local gym (sweat, no excuses) • ☕️ Casual walks in search of coffee and warm little places Nothing fancy, just slow and steady progress — physically, emotionally, spiritually. “Live to improve, not to impress.” Now we’re getting ready for our next stop: Areguá. Let’s gooo! #FamilyTrip #NomadLife #Asado #DigitalNomads #Paraguay #CoronelOviedo #HealingJourney #NewGermanMedicine #BitcoinLife #StrengthInSimplicity #LiveToImprove https://cdn.azzamo.net/2b7993cd234ca1c17bf89d18d69618d568829a3735540c9daae2a55c6336ab54

Farewell Ciudad del Este 🇵🇾 Before leaving this intense and buzzing city, we wrapped up our visit with two highlights that captured both Paraguay’s power and its peace: 🔌 Itaipu Dam We couldn’t skip a visit to the famous Itaipu Dam — the second largest hydroelectric dam in the world (by generation capacity). The scale of this engineering marvel is impossible to capture on camera. We took a full tour around and over the dam, and suddenly the thriving local Bitcoin mining scene made perfect sense. Cheap hydro = hash heaven. 🌊 Saltos del Monday To balance out the tech and power, we went straight to nature. These Paraguayan waterfalls offered a serene moment of reflection after the noise and chaos of the city. A stunning local gem, just minutes from the urban jungle. That was our last day in Ciudad del Este. We’re now slowly heading west, taking a short break in Coronel Oviedo — nothing touristy, just getting back to basics: working online, exploring local gyms 💪, and giving our daughter some routine and calm after a packed week. Next stop: Ypacaraí — more stories soon. #Paraguay #BitcoinMining #ItaipuDam #SaltosDelMonday #TravelWithFamily #DigitalNomads #PowerAndPeace #BitcoinAdventures #OffGridJourney #GodAlwaysWins #BTC

Bitcoin Energy & Brotherhood in Paraguay 🇵🇾⚡ During our stop in Hernandarias, we had the rare chance to visit one of Paraguay’s largest Bitcoin mining farms — home to 40,000+ miners, both hydro-cooled and air-cooled. The scale was next-level, the security even more so. No cameras allowed… but we still managed to snap two shots 👀📸 This operation currently mines around 5 BTC per day, fully powered by renewable hydro energy from Itaipú. Paraguay has serious energy potential, and Bitcoin is tapping into it. ⛏️ More than that — we connected with amazing local Bitcoiners. The community here is humble, strong, and quietly building something powerful. We wrapped it up with dinner and a peaceful moment at Playa Tacurupucu, just a short ride away. From hash rate to heart rate — this day had it all. Bitcoin fixes energy, money and human connection. #Bitcoin #Mining #Paraguay #HydroMining #BitcoinCommunity #ProofOfWork #HashPower #BTC #EnergyRevolution #FamilyBitcoinJourney #DigitalGold #FreedomMoney #Nostr

Ciudad del Este 🇵🇾 – where chaos and charm collide We had some fun here – there’s definitely something to explore: colorful street food corners, cozy bars like BKLYN, and a stunning view at the triple frontier of Paraguay, Brazil, and Argentina. 🌎✨ A sunny pause with a powerful perspective. But this city hits differently. Known for its tax-free shopping, Ciudad del Este is a chaotic puzzle of bustling stalls, packed shops, and trucks heading off fully loaded across the Brazilian border. 🇧🇷 Not everything is ideal though. Sleeping here has been challenging – there’s a noticeable intensity in the air, both in noise and energy. The radiation (or maybe just the city buzz) makes itself felt. It’s a place of contrasts – but that’s part of the journey: staying open, observing, adapting… and then moving on. #CiudadDelEste #ParaguayAdventure #TripleFrontier #StreetMarketVibes #BorderLife #SouthAmericaUnfiltered #DigitalNomads #FamilyTravel #UrbanJungle #SlowTravel #ExploreWithHeart

Iguazú: Where Water Roars and Souls Rest 🌊🇧🇷✨ Tuesday brought us face to face with a force of nature that leaves no one untouched — the Iguazú Falls on the Brazilian side. As we stepped onto the walkways and heard the thunder of millions of liters crashing down every second, we were overwhelmed. Not just by the sound or the spray, but by the enormity of creation. The kind that makes you stand still. The kind that makes you feel small — in the best possible way. Even at 1m94, I felt humbled. We stood together as a family, watching rainbows form in the mist, feeling the power and stillness at once. With all the noise and negativity in the world today, this was a sacred pause. A reset. A whisper from nature to remember what truly matters. And in that stillness, a message rang loud and clear — not only in our hearts but printed across my back: “God always wins – don’t forget that.” We carry that truth with us. That strength. That knowing. Because the power of God lives within each of us — and when we choose to be the best version of ourselves, we lift up everyone around us. 🌿 It’s not always easy traveling with our daughter — not even two years old — but she teaches us more than we ever imagined. She brings us back to the moment. She shows us wonder. She holds up a mirror, and we’re thankful for every part of that journey. Nature. Family. Faith. Growth. These are the waterfalls we came to see. And the ones inside us we came to feel. 💧 ⸻ #IguazuFalls #GodAlwaysWins #FamilyAdventure #BrazilNature #FaithInMotion #TravelWithPurpose #Noderunners #ParentingOnTheRoad #GratefulHeart #NaturePower #Worldschooling #SeekTheCreator

🌿🌊 From peaceful Hohenau to golden bulls on the birthday road We wrapped up our time in Hohenau with one last outing to the beach in Encarnación. A fresh chicken salad, sunshine on our faces, and our daughter laughing in the water — a perfect ending to a slow and peaceful chapter in Paraguay. Then it was time to hit the road again. On July 15, my birthday, we began our journey toward Ciudad del Este. Along the way, the universe gave us a little gift: a new all-time high for Bitcoin 🧡🎉 To top it off, we stumbled across “Boi de Ouro” in Santa Rita — a restaurant we couldn’t possibly ignore thanks to the giant golden bull outside 🐂✨ We stopped. We feasted. We smiled. As the meme goes: “It’s not gambling when you know you’re going to win.” We finished the day in our new base in Ciudad del Este — full hearts, full bellies, and a quiet sense of momentum. 📍Encarnación → Santa Rita → Ciudad del Este 📸 Beach goodbye, birthday signs, and bullish alignment. #Bitcoin #BirthdayTravel #Encarnacion #SantaRita #CiudadDelEste #BackpackBaby #FamilyTravel #OptOut #NostrTravel

🌿🐃 Farms, friends, and future signals in Paraguay The past few days have been a mix of wildlife, wide views, and wonderful people. We spotted a tapir up close — what an awesome creature — and wandered through shady forest trails and across cattle fields under the clearest blue sky. But this wasn’t just sightseeing. We spent time connecting with amazing folks across Paraguay. 🇧🇪 We were invited to a proper Paraguayan asado, hosted by Belgians — the father of the founder of Belpart, who moved here 23 years ago. Honest, driven people doing full construction projects from A to Z, built to European standards. 🇳🇱 We also visited a stunning farm in Capitán Miranda, owned by a Dutchman — an unreal piece of land with hills, streams, cows and views that feel like freedom. And through it all, we carry our signal. 🎒 My Noderunners patch is always on the backpack — for those who know. For those who build the parallel system. 📍Itapúa, Paraguay 📸 Cows, conversations, and the quiet growth of something bigger. #Paraguay #Itapua #Belpart #CapitanMiranda #BitcoinCommunities #BackpackBaby #NostrTravel #Noderunners #OptOut

⛪✨ Past meets future on the Jesuit Route This week we visited two stunning sites along the Ruta Jesuítica in Paraguay: 📍 Trinidad del Paraná 📍 Jesús de Tavarangüé Walking through these ancient ruins — centuries-old stone walls, overgrown stairways, and open skies — you can feel the weight of history. These missions once brought structure, faith, and culture to a vast region. And there she was, our daughter, wandering confidently through it all… wearing her Bitcoin hoodie. A tiny symbol of the future, walking through the past. The Jesuits built communities. Today we build new ones — open, borderless, and peer-to-peer. History isn’t over. It just changed format. ⚡ #Bitcoin is the next chapter. 📸 Stones of the past, steps toward freedom. #RutaJesuitica #TrinidadDelParana #JesusDeTavarangue #Paraguay #Bitcoin #FreedomTech #OptOut #FamilyTravel #BackpackBaby #NostrTravel

🌴🛶 Slowing down in Hohenau – local style The last few days we’ve taken it easy here in Hohenau. A bit of rest, a few small trips, and a taste of what local life feels like. We visited nearby beaches where you literally drive right onto the sand — and everywhere you go, there are open huts for anyone to use. Just bring some food, fire up a barbecue, and enjoy the riverside breeze. While walking along the water we got a real surprise: a stingray in the shallows! Definitely not something we expected, and it made the day a lot more memorable 🐟😅 We also visited Capitán Miranda, had ice cream, and stumbled upon the local Dutch-speaking clubhouse. Sadly, no Belgians to chat with this time — but we’ll be back 😉🇧🇪 Sometimes the most peaceful days bring the best stories. 📍Hohenau & Capitán Miranda – Itapúa, Paraguay 📸 Beachside barbecues, unexpected wildlife, and a quiet nod to home. #Hohenau #ParaguayRoadtrip #FamilyTravel #StingrayEncounter #BelgianClubhouse #SlowTravel #NostrTravel #BackpackBaby
