I’m sharing more of #paradox's work. He’s a genius at finding his way, opening doors, scaling rooftops, and climbing down while spraying his art. His pieces always leave an impact. #streetart #paradox #berlin image

GM #nostr 🌞 Winter’s hitting here in Berlin, but look who’s keeping me company, a little green fellow perched on my water boiler handle! 🟢☕️ Just like decentralized networks, this tiny guest reminds me of resilience and adaptability in any environment. Stay warm, stay strong, and #staydecentralized! image

18 years as a dad wow. Watching my daughter grow into (almost) adulthood has been wild. She’s still at home, and I love having her here, but I know it won’t be long before she flies out and starts her own journey. Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about my kids. My little one too. About their future. About this messy world we’re in. Europe feels heavy these days. Governments are crumbling, politics is a circus, and everything feels so polarized. Right, left, everyone just digging deeper into their corners. Meanwhile, I’m here in the middle, watching it all fall apart, knowing politics won’t fix anything anymore. But then there’s Bitcoin. And Nostr. These things give me hope. Real tools for real change. I’ve even been orange-pilling my daughter’s friends and you know what? Teenagers get it. Fast. They don’t have all the old baggage; they just look at the world for what it is. Explaining why fiat is broken and why we need decentralized money and networks like Nostr is almost too easy with them. It’s inspiring. And it reminds me, change won’t come from governments or institutions. It’ll come from the people. From this next generation that’s stepping into the chaos and ready to build something better. Step by step, block by block, zap by zap.

Unbank yourself, babe! 🖤 Walking the streets of Kreuzberg, Berlin – found this sticker on the playground where I chill with my son. Seems like even the playgrounds know what’s up. Decentralized vibes in unexpected places, Berlin-style. #Kreuzberg #Berlin #UnbankYourself #BitcoinLife #Decentralization #StreetWisdom #36 Let me know if you want any more adjustments!

You can fool people sometimes But you can’t fool all the people all the times Today marks 35 years since the Berlin Wall came down. I was 12, living right next to it, looking out over the wall from my window. Too young to get the politics, but the vibe? Unmistakable. School shut down, people took to the streets, change was in the air, even if I didn’t fully get it. The 90s in Berlin were something else. Empty buildings, raves that went on for days, a city alive in the ruins. Back then, we were too deep in it to realize how rare it was. It makes me wonder: would the Wall have fallen sooner if we’d had a network like Nostr and money like Bitcoin? #freedom #berlin #nostr #bitcoin image

Zurich, you were amazing! Big love to the community for such a warm welcome. Reconnecting with my brother Seba, who I hadn’t seen since India in 2019, made it all even more special. Now heading to 🇩🇪 Darmstadt to host a 3-hour Radikal Flow workshop and throw down a DJ set at Ecstatic Dance Darmstadt tomorrow. Can’t wait to bring the energy! #EcstaticDance #RadikalFlow #CommunityVibes #tanzen3000

Finding Strength in Vulnerability Thanks for the reminder, @Cupid’s Daughter I’d like to share a bit about my path to becoming a man. It’s been a journey – one that took me 40 years and a wake-up call I didn’t see coming: my wife left me after 17 years of marriage and a 30-year friendship. That hit me hard, but it also opened the door to parts of myself I’d kept hidden – my vulnerability, my emotions, my fears. Growing Up Without a Map: I grew up in Berlin without a father or a healthy masculine role model. The ’80s and ’90s weren’t exactly a golden age for positive male figures. My friends and I – all of us raised by strong women – like ALL of my best friends!!! - saw men around us either absent or lost in their own ego trips, seemingly disconnected from their families. It was a time when, honestly, men seemed to have let a lot of people down. Breaking Old Patterns: It took me four decades to understand that it’s okay not to have all the answers. Just being with my problems – not running from them or trying to fix everything instantly – was a big shift. I realized that the journey to becoming a man doesn’t mean shutting down emotions; it means opening up to them. Relearning Emotion: After decades of holding back tears, now even the cheesiest Disney movie gets to me. I’ve learned that just being open to feel, without always needing to act on those feelings, is powerful. Most of the time, simply allowing emotions to exist is enough. Redefining Masculinity: Rewiring my inner framework took three years. For me, becoming a man has meant getting softer, staying grounded, and realizing that sometimes, the strongest thing I can do is to feel and express my emotions. No quick fixes, no avoidance – just presence. That’s been my journey to manhood: image View quoted note →

GM, #Nostr! 16 years since Satoshi threw the first stone. Bitcoin’s still kicking, still tearing down walls. Keep stacking, keep pushing. #HappyWhitePaperDay #Revolution #StayRadikal #Bitcoin

Hey #nostr Fam! I’m new here and loving the refreshing vibe of posting again! 🎉 Quick question: I’m struggling to figure out how to zap other people’s posts. At the moment, I can “only” zap them directly. 😕 Is this a Damus issue (since that’s my main app), or am I just missing something? Usually, I’m decent at tech stuff, but Nostr seems to add a layer of mystery—especially for a typical Apple victim like me. 🍏😂 Any help from the experts would be awesome! image

GM everyone, Soaking up the vacation vibes here in sunny southern Portugal and finally finding some time to dive deeper into #nostr. Something interesting I’ve noticed in the past weeks: It’s way easier to purple-pill people than to orange-pill them. Strange how folks seem to grasp the issue of centralized information control much faster than the disaster of fiat currency and the importance of being financially sovereign. Maybe it’s because the effects of info centralization, Metaverse, etc. are immediately felt, whereas the significance of holding your own money (not in a bank but in your self-custodian wallet) feels a bit more abstract, even though it’s arguably way more impactful. Still, Nostr’s zaps have been a great way to bridge that gap and show people the power of a truly free monetary system. Stay sovereign. image
