As a bitcoin maxi, life is simple. You simply always are all in. And of course looking at “price” it’s not always wise. So a beautiful example of conviction as I’m going through some historical buys with the print screens and the actual numbers. At the end of 2021 I sold my bike rental, bikelimburg. My last bit of fiat came in and as always, I directly converted it into bitcoin. I just started @BitcoinBrabant and knew I needed the money later. It would take years to create a profitable company. But I bought bitcoin at this top anyway. I spend €5000,- (which was basically $5000,- back then). To see it be (1/4) €1250,- a year later. In November 2022, we had basically no new clients, not a single business case made sense for mining on that fiat level. And basically nobody believed in it anymore at that time. I was earning some fiat through BitcoinBrabant still and some side jobs at that moment. I always bought bitcoin. Proof of it below 👇

Now I’m really wondering how many degens got liquidated borrowing against shitcoins 😂 Had an epic conversation yesterday evening before going to bed. Woke up around 4.15 first answered my emails and DMs of BitcoinBrabant and did some workouts. Than found out bitcoin was a a bit lower. Emptied all the bank accounts. Bought bitcoin. Don’t do leverage. Work your ass off. Don’t leave bitcoin on an exchange. (All major US exchanges went offline during the trough).

This is a video on our Dutch business network RTLZ. It can’t be found online with RTL anymore, just like some other material where I got to be in mainstream in the Netherlands. This specific piece was critical. In the preparation we talked about the €2.5 billion additional tax that is going to be taken from bitcoin hodlers under new DAC8 regulation. The lady starts off with 2.5 billion of tax evasion currently ongoing by bitcoiners… Gaslighting at its finest. Apart from that all economic and personal data from exchanges from 2026-01-01 will be put into a central EU tax authority database. The laws have passed the implementation is finalized. If you are in EU and hodl or transfer anything through a regulated exchange, be aware. Your name and activity will be in this Central European tax database with every bitcoin move you do through these parties from the 1st of January. People around me are saying this is insane, I just look at it as the final push to also use bitcoin as a medium of exchange. You simply don’t want to be in this database with a bitcoin number behind your name. Oh and if you’re interested in the details, you do know that politicians, royalty and extremely wealthy people have an exempt status and a separate account and physical database with the tax authorities, right?

If you want to vlog on nostr, how do you do it?

It’s becoming very clear that sovereignty and great steps towards freedom are not being seen. While infighting about some bites on the most robust computer network ever built is pushed like there’s no tomorrow.

GM PV @Sanne and my son Otis Sha (anagram for Satoshi) is enjoying his new 3D printed violin. @Kevin Ravens₿erg ⚡️ ☁️ and his wife (true bitcoiners) have built vioolfabriek.nl They make it possible for every person on this planet to be able to play violin cheaply. Every morning O asks “violin”. He’s still a bit too young (2YO) but he’s trying it anyway. His hero (André Rieu) is perfectly mimicked. But he’s starting to like Mozart more recently.
