Listening to Digital Sovereignty by @Short Fiat on @Fanfares. I’m so proud of you, my friend, and of what you and your team have accomplished. Both the book and the platform are brilliant. Exciting times ahead! 🚀

Turned 30 today. A new decade, a new chapter. The last one was wild, let's see what this one brings. 🤟

With the success of the Accelerating Bitcoin conference and the rapid growth of the @BitcoinParaguay community, Paraguay is emerging as a leading Bitcoin hub in South America. The global Bitcoin community is beginning to recognize its tremendous potential, with many Bitcoiners relocating here from around the world. It’s only a matter of time before Bitcoin companies follow. Hard to imagine where we’ll be in 1, 5, or 10 years... 🤯


It was an honor to welcome everyone to Paraguay 🇵🇾 and I’m so glad the Accelerating Bitcoin conference was such a success! 🎉
Who would have thought, just 16 months ago when we founded @BitcoinParaguay, that we’d be here today? 🤯 Still processing…


Who is going to Accelerating Bitcoin next week? 👀 Don't forget to also come to @BitcoinParaguay's Social Night on September 16! 🔥

If you are planning to sell bitcoin for something else, think twice. Everything in this world is abundant compared to bitcoin (except for your time). Ask yourself: Would I make the same decision knowing that this bitcoin could be worth 5 or even 10 times more in 4–8 years?

Saylor’s spot on about citizenships, but residencies matter too! Most countries don’t tax globally like the U.S. Digital nomads can often go zero income-tax, and the setup costs pay off in a year with tax savings, plus you skip accounting headaches.
You can find more details about the setup here:

Tax residency in Paraguay: 0% tax on international income, no minimum stay, easy to maintain. Perfect for digital nomads to optimize their taxes.
I've finally set NIP-05 to my account. It was surprisingly straightforward.
Holy sats, what a night! Our 11th Asuncion meetup at Cé La Vie was unreal. First time all in Spanish, with 150+ people, including tons of Bitcoin newbies! We onboarded 44 folks to Lightning wallets and sent them their first sats. 🤯 I’m still getting chills from the vibes!
Can’t thank our team enough for pouring their hearts and souls into this. Massive love to @Nelson Cardozo, Juan P., Bruno V., @Lorena | Bitcoin, Sebastian M., Vivi C., @John James, and all the others who made it happen. You’re absolute legends! 🙌🙇♂️
Huge props to our sponsors: @Blink Wallet,
Penguin Group, @npub1fvf0...fh76 and Trezor for having our backs. Special shoutout to Eason Jin for hosting us at Cé La Vie and to El Tejano for the killer food that fueled the party! 🙏
Wanna help us orange-pill Paraguay? Hit us up, follow our journey, or come see what we’re building IRL! You can also send some sats to donaciones@ln.bitcoinparaguay.org or you can also zap directly BitcoinParaguay. Thanks for all the love! 🧡🫶

TONIGHT! It's going to be massive. Over 150 attendees! I guess we have already earned the title of "The biggest regular Bitcoin meetup in the world"! 🚀🔥🇵🇾


There’s a huge gap between "hodlers" who view Bitcoin solely as an investment asset and bitcoiners who get that Bitcoin is money and want to spend it. There’s a flood of Bitcoin lending companies pushing you to borrow fiat against your bitcoin to spend. Yeah, it might make financial sense, but it’s not building Bitcoin economies. We need to SPEND bitcoin more! Spending it gives us all more sovereignty. If we can’t spend bitcoin directly P2P, we’re forever tied to middlemen. That’s not what Satoshi dreamed of…
And people say Asunción isn't walkable... 😁


I’m incredibly bullish on Bitcoin adoption in Paraguay. 🇵🇾 Last Saturday, our monthly meetup drew over 100 attendees. Tomorrow, the BitDevs meetup hosts ~50 participants, with 15 more on the waitlist (a technical event! 🤯). Then, this Saturday, a Bitcoin course at the local university for ~70 students. Pay attention, folks - something special is brewing here. 🚀
Asunción is currently the 4th most popular digital nomad destination in the world. 🤯
