Building your network in bitcoin means you have friends in almost any major city you visit. Messaged a bitcoiner yesterday saying hey I’m coming through Boston tomorrow and he opened his doors to let me stay the night. Grateful for the hospitality!

Meeting @alo.in.motion in Bulgaria for the BTC Balkans conference. It will be her first time in Europe and first bitcoin conference!

Back on the road for a few bitcoin events this next 3 weeks. First stop: Camp Nakamoto in New Hampshire 🍂🍁 Never been to the northeast during autumn. Allegedly it’s beautiful.

What does bitcoin NOT fix? Best answer I’ve heard from @npub1tm20...lpna at @npub1ku3r...4wnw 2025

Sunday night door knocker campaigning for a city council slot. You bet I preached the good word to him. He said he “disagreed” about bitcoin being a solution to any of the problems my city faces, to which I explained why bitcoin not crypto and how it is the solution to the debasement problem and all its downstream effects (affordability, homelessness, etc.). His current platform is “evidence based” public safety and higher progressive taxes on the wealthy… it got me to about getting more involved in local politics…

Imagine trying to build something that has never been built before. How valuable would it be to you to talk with other people working on the same thing to share all the knowledge that you have and get all the knowledge that they have? All the mistakes and miscalculations, the techniques and strategies that worked… This is why knowledge sharing between circular economies is so critical. It’s not a competition, it’s not a zero sum game… a rising tide lifts all boats.

One of the best parts about working for yourself is being able to align your schedule with the sunlight and weather. Especially living in the north, sunlight is scarce this time of year. It’s not just, “oh I control my time” - I can literally go outside any time I want, take my shirt off, put my feet on the earth and do some pushups, kettle bell swings or whatever… No price would entice me to give this up.

@npub1srsa...whlh is the easiest way to start mining bitcoin.

Getting on 0 is much harder than getting off 0.

My first bitcoin conference was Sofia, Bulgaria 2024. Since then I’ve been to more than ten and have moved more of my time and energy towards bitcoin as a result. Here’s a quick take on why smaller conferences are higher signal and why you should join us in Bulgaria this month! BTCBalkans.com

I got to spend the day filming with world record holding swimmer Dean Hall, who was given a death sentence in the form of two types of stage four cancer and decided that he was going to beat it without radiation or chemo. He started swimming and became the first person to swim the entire length of the Willamette river, 185 miles in 22 days. He spent time in nature, touched the Earth and camped in the forest in his hammock. Doctors don’t have an explanation for how he survived. His story is a potent example of the healing power of nature. Unfortunately, he’s not on Nostr yet but hopefully soon!

"Money has spiritual energy. If you're spending blood money that comes with consequences." Incredible episode this really got me thinking… the proof of weapons network isn’t going to roll over without a fight. https://fountain.fm/episode/RhAeIYJ0FRB2yQ7BJJ5g View quoted note →

There needs to be a manual or guide to support onboarding merchants, giving them various options for receiving bitcoin/lightning and how to properly secure it. Maybe I’ll make it if it doesn’t exist. If there is such a thing I’d like to check it out. #asknostr

Seems legit

Mariners game with my pops last night. Sat in the nosebleeds and had a great time.

BTC Balkans is what happens when an unwavering bitcoiner @Nackoo2000 gets to plan a conference. If you’re in Europe this is a conference you should definitely attend. BTCBalkans.com the Balkans countries are uniting!

A friend of mine @Luke Mikic just had his 4 YouTube channels shut down out of the blue. His entire business and 6 years of building rug pulled with no explanation other than “dangerous information.” Not your platform, not your business… content creators need to be resilient and own their businesses.

Getting ready for Winter 🌲🪵 A neighbor cut down a cedar tree and instead of paying to dispose of it I’m picking it up for free and using it to heat my home. This was just one truck load and there’s a lot more… from a single tree I can heat the place for several months. Meanwhile the state government here in Washington is working to ban this…
