Namast humans of #bitcoin To all the folks going to conferences, pause for a moment. Look at the wrinkles on the faces around you, and on your own too. In the years spent chasing the next thing.We are all ageing. Quietly & relentlessly. And yet we keep moving outward. More flights, more stages, more AI, more possessions, more hyperbitcoinized futures. As if the answer is always out there, one more conference away. The wrinkles are trying to tell you something. That time is passing. That the inward journey, the one into stillness, into self, into what actually matters, keeps getting postponed. The ancient Vedics saw this. Thousands of years ago, they turned inward, built entire civilisations of thought, of consciousness, of self inquiry. History remembers them for it. The world will always have another conference. Another revolution. Another thing to chase. Your inner life will wait only so long. La vida es beautiful, enjoy habibis :) Have a great weekend. Paco image
What is my book about ? Into the Wild meets The #bitcoin Standard Part adventure memoir, part financial manifesto, part love letter to the Global South. It is the story of what happens when one stubborn idealist takes an idea seriously enough to nearly die for it. Here is the link to pre order one - Thank you Hugs :) image
How many of you believe in the 444 theory ? It's been good 2 years that I have been seeing this everywhere Any one else ? So when I read that #bitcoin will be $444k soon, I thought I am on the right path. I thought 🙈 But yeah anyone out there ? Namaste
"Man can be nothing but free: in this lies his greatness. In serving, he finds his salvation. Freedom is the right of every man to be honorable, to think and speak without hypocrisy. A man who hides what he thinks, or does not dare to say what he thinks, is not an honorable man." - José Martí Thank yoy @npub17xvf...c9as for amplifying voices that often go unheard. Some voices get a stage. Some get silenced. Some are ignored. Being able to meet these humans in person and celebrate life together for 3 days is truly uplifting. May the voices that have been silenced find their stage. And may freedom tech tools like AI, #Bitcoin and more help carry them further, faster, and louder than ever before. To freedom & philanthropy. 🕊️ image
"I was not reading it because I felt that I had to do it. I was like, this is like, I know that Paco has a bunch of really crazy stories, and so far every chapter has been fun, so I just want to read the next chapter. So, that is a page flipper." - A pleb who read about 160 pages of the book 😉
Sometimes life gets so smooth it feels strange. And there’s this itch to mess it up a little. I’m just learning to let it be. Gm
We did it! Thank you to all the plebs around the world. If the #bitcoin chain is immutable then the plebchain is the kindest. 100% of the All or Nothing funding goal has been achieved. Thank you to the @Geyser team for supporting me, brainstorming with me on weekly calls, guiding me through the campaign, and not letting me quit when I almost did. Thank you @Avi Burra for @npub14kw5...j7y0 , you are a great host. @Derek Ross habibi you are NOstr Guru 😉 Just a few days ago, I genuinely thought this campaign was over. But then like a magicians wand, A the community member went on tagging all the Indian plebs. So I took the cue, started posting more content, reached out to friends through DMs one by one, and kept pushing. Then things started moving fast. Plebs bought copies, shared the campaign, and connected me with more people and slowly the campaign came back to life. In fact it became like a Space X rocket! And Voila, it was done, that too with 3 days to spare💙 I promise y'all: Great book or no book. And one more thing - #Bitcoin is money. Gold it or Spedn it. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Paco P.s. Do hard things!
Hello from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 I was here in 2022, right as the petrol shortages started. There were 2 hour queues at pumps. Soon after, the President fled and resigned amid the chaos. Fast forward to 2026. I had to run an errand down in Galle in the South, which in turn turned out be an adventure. Due to the ongoing war disrupting global supplies (a choke in the Strait of Hormuz ripples everywhere), Sri Lanka has brought back fuel rationing. Every citizen gets a strict quota: just 15 liters of petrol per week , tracked via a QR code system. If you run out? You're stuck! We tried to refuel but our QR didn't scan right the first time maybe tech glitch or registration hiccup, who knows. We rode and pushed our luck until the tank ran dry mid-errand. We had to walk for over 3kms asking for fuel at every store. Finally a kind stranger (a real Samaritan) pointed us to some. It was double the price. An hour of work took 5 hours. How fragile our so called "globalized" world truly is? One blockage causes real suffering here. Our world operates like a human body. If you are hurt in one part, the whole system suffers. Your mind can't focus and everything slows. As someone who's traveled extensively through the Global South, I've seen this pattern repeat i.e inflation, money printer go brrr, then hyperinflation followed by sanctions hitting ordinary people the hardest. Did i see this coming ? Yes I did. Was I prepared? Not so much. These raw, on the ground stories, from Sri Lanka's latest crisis to struggles across overlooked regions, are at the heart of my upcoming book. If you want to read more about how global shocks land on real lives in the places often overlooked, join the journey. Crowdfund a copy now and support the project: Thank you & Have a great day. Paco
image Namaste #bitcoin family on NOSTR, Is it true that most of you hang out here as compared to X? Anyways it has been a while. I want to begin by saying that I am in good health, both physically and mentally. 🙃 For the past two years, I have been living a mountain life, practicing yoga instead of running, eating good curry, writing my first book about the 'run with bitcoin' journey, and building a few projects on the side. In a few days, I’ll be sharing something I’ve been building. Thank you and blessings, Paco
Hola humans of #Bitcoin :) Any suggestion for the book title ? It's about the 'run with bitcoin' journey. ( I don't want bitcoin in the title) Thank you.
