GM @BTC Prague! Come and see my keynote „Bitcoin & Human Rights - What 99% Don’t Get“ today at the EXPO stage at10h.

Today at 16:00h I‘ll be on a panel „Onboarding the next billion people“ with @calle @Abubakar Nur Khalil @Julian Liniger and @Joe Nakamoto Well we’re not even near the first billion… Main stage! #BTCPrague

„Bitcoin is human rights money!“, me at the @HRF Open Source Activism panel with @JraissatiJorge @ihate1999 and @jardemalie How authoritarian countries use KYC and AML regulations to silence activists and how the same rules take our freedoms away.

I just learned that @Cake Wallet has silent payments already implemented. Also they offer advice on how to harden the mobile wallet for more #privacy on their website. And: they will integrate Lightning via @Breez bringing it to their 280,000 users. Interesting.

For all of you coming to @BTC Prague this week: I have been using #Lightning to pay for all of my restaurant visits. You can too ⬇️ Spend and replace your #bitcoin. More spending, more velocity, more utility, more value. Get the Qerko app. Search for restaurants. You can add BTC as a payment method. You scan the code on the table, you'll see your consumation, open your Lightning wallet. Pay. Done. Restaurant owners, waiters don’t even know that you pay them with BTC. There are also shops accepting BTC natively find them on BTCmap.org

Looking forward! View quoted note →

👀😬 Cough cough… how can I zap without using the hosted Primal wallet??

Good bye Telegram! I never liked you. Unencrypted, scammy and insecure. Using Signal and SimpleX instead.

The power of open source software and Bitcoin in the fight for human rights. @Lyn Alden and @jack at the #OsloFreedomForum

Gave my new talk about #Bitcoin & Human Rights at @Adopting Bitcoin Arnhem recently. I think it’s one of the most underrated topics in Bitcoin. If we lose censorship resistance and non KYC, we end up with a 21 million PayPal. Nice for the NgU people but definitely not a tool for sovereignty and freedom against authoritarianism.

Haven’t been on Nostr for a while. Recent events are bringing me back. All central bankers are issuing a tool with which crime is being committed. Who has been put in prison? #privacy is a human right!

Bitcoin is not for the faint hearted! Congratulations to anyone who fuckin spent and replaced and saved their bitcoin over the years and saw the true purpose of non-state, hard money. FGU > NGU Freedom go Up is more important. Number go Up is fucking great too. For those who haven’t used Bitcoin yet: it’s never too late to (l)earn Bitcoin! I‘m grateful, humble and honestly also proud about what I’ve accomplished over the last 7 years. To see Bitcoin‘s potential and share the knowledge with as many people as possible.

Bitcoin works in #Namibia too! Of course why shouldn’t it 😝 On tour with Bitcoin for Fairness and exploring Windhoek today.

RIP @AMuyshondt I met Alejandro in El Salvador in 2021. A Bitcoiner and critic of how Bitcoin was implemented by the government. He paid the highest price one can pay for his activism against Pres. Bukele and "died" in prison. My article from Dec 2021 about top down adoption of bitcoin in El Salvador was based on my visit in the country and conversations with Alejandro, who had first hand insights on Chivo and the developments around.

Recording with Carel van Wyk one of the South African Bitcoin pioneers and builder of the PicknPay Lightning merchant solution. After this we went to PicknPay, the second largest retailer on the African continent and I bought some things with Lightning. And it went smooth, fast and sound. I would like to see this everywhere! Today the first South African Bitcoin only conference is starting. My keynote is at 10:40h. #AB24CPT

My non-technical explainer of the differences between Bitcoin, Lightning, Liquid and E-Cash. Contains bricks, walls, pipes and sand.

A new Tanzanian Bitcoin project has been funded by a legit guy I know from long conversations. He is also a donor to BFF. Recently he engaged a Tanzanian for help and social media. This guy goes by the name of Greyson, he was scamming someone on our meetup in Zambia. Please do not fund anything for this community as long as things haven’t cleared up. I assume Grey has set up the Geyser campaigns and not the real initiator.
