Medellin day 1. My checked bag got stuck in Miami, so bought some underwear and shorts at the mall. Haven’t slept well since last week in Hong Kong, but tomorrow filming begins. Go time.

Light defeats darkness simply by shining. It’s not a fight. The first turning is here. We have the tool for a peaceful revolution.

New podcast with @Derek Ross and @MK Fain We discussed freedom tech, building on Nostr and the future of the internet. I really enjoyed it and I think you guys will too! Available on my YouTube and podcast platforms - We Are Satoshi podcast

The difference between the US and the rest of the world can be summed up by the experience of going to a coffee shop. In the US, they expect a tip and they make you bus your own table. Almost everywhere else they don’t expect a tip and they bus the table for you. As much as I love my country, we have become soft and entitled.

HODL is the great meme in bitcoin’s history. Now the HODL mentality is preventing bitcoin from advancing to the next level of adoption. If you want number go up, spend your sats. Support businesses you appreciate with the best money. Spend and replace if needed.

What is the most overrated and underrated aspect of bitcoin? #asknostr I’ve got some ideas but curious what you guys think.

Allegedly I’ll be speaking on this stage tomorrow. Ngl I’m nervous, but always remind myself the message is more important than i am. Come by in the afternoon 430 pm for the PechaKucha session, I’m going to share a bit about what I’ve learned visiting circular economies and documenting bitcoin adoption across the world. HODL was the greatest bitcoin meme for the first 17 years of its existence… and it’s time to let it go so we can go to the next level. It’s time to level up and USE bitcoin.

12 minutes of fitness a day. That’s really all it takes. And of those 12 minutes, five of them are resting between sets. “ I don’t have time” is not a good excuse.

Bitcoin was supposed to set us free—but has it been captured by the very system it was designed to escape? We Are Satoshi podcast with @npub1dxrh...87rc is now live.

The best way to stop a bad guy with a microphone is a good guy with a microphone.

After the fiasco yesterday I went out for a glorious bike ride this evening. Then got a screw straight through my brand new tire 👌 By the way most nostr users no to be paranoid and never give out your seed phrase under any circumstances. I’ve now heard of highly advanced social engineering attacks using hacked telegram accounts, or other forms of communication.

As of now, I don’t believe the official story.

Growth happens outside the comfort zone. Whenever I’m nervous about something, I know I need to do it. I’ll be speaking at Bitcoin Asia next month, stoked but also nervous… is there a word for being stoked and nervous at the same time?

Headed to Kentucky this week. Going to visit a bitcoin mining facility and capture some motion pictures.

Most bitcoin conferences are struggling with attendance. It’s partly because it’s a bear market, partly due to interest in AI, but I would argue if you’re a builder now is the absolute best time to go to a conference. The people who show up during bear markets are the true builders. The ones who are in it for more than just the financial gains. So far this year, I’ve been to @npub18g7v...4m9p , @BTC Prague , two @My First Bitcoin unconferences, @BITCOIN is for EVERYONE (May 22-23, 2026) , @npub1qzl7...ulcs (my favorite event, hardly a conference) and @Bitcoin Magazine Vegas. Unfortunately I will miss a great one in Vancouver next month: @npub1ku3r...4wnw But I will be in Surabaya, Indonesia for the My First Bitcoin unconference and Bitcoin Asia in Hong Kong. Make sure to reach out and say hello if you’ll be at either of these in August.

I just saw a bear in my local trail system for the first time. I’ve gone riding and running here several times a week for the last five years. I was peddling when I heard some rustling in the bushes and up on the hillside above me there were two bears. One was a cub, and the other one I didn’t actually see but definitely heard it. I was a safe distance away and was able to observe the cub for a few minutes before they noticed me and went the other direction. What an absolute blessing and way to end the week.

You slept well last night 🤝

You can run a bitcoin full node on a cheap raspberry pi with a 2TB external SSD. It seems like a lot of people don’t know this.
