@jack My friend Reyna at MPBTC posted a clip of you speaking about adoption on X and I so agree and feel you. But no one speaks of the issue I screen shot in my reply. This is a huge issue. The general public will go to an exchange to buy bitcoin. They are not going to fly somewhere, or find a local meetup and do some hushed exchange P2P (and some people here in ES are getting scammed that way). Bitcoin transactions need to be tax free. I am with a bunch of Anarchists and I get it. But looking down one’s nose at people for not choosing to throw caution to the wind and go 100% BTC KYC free is not going to get enough people there and the judgement gets old. I didn’t go to a fundraiser because the only thing on the menu was Tomohawk (I don’t know how to spell it) steak. We need to make this accessible. We need to make this easy. I thought of giving my nephew a hardware wallet with some BTC and I have to make a choice. KYC or no KYC. This is absurd. It needs to change and I don’t know how to foster what I want to see. It will happen more smoothly though if BTC is tax free. Otherwise people are left with a harsh choice. And most people won’t make that choice. They are too scared. And I think it unkind to call them sheep.

I wrote about why I and you matter. It is easy to not feel that way. To feel like slavery and sheep living and such things are alive and well. When you and I own that we matter, we change. We wake up. You are here on Nostr, so I imagine that is likely already the case for you. But it never hurts to be reminded. And I am tenaciously attempting to participate here where people can matter and be seen all they want.

Talking to God about love

Wrote about self-love this week with a sprinkle of stories from Berlin, El Salvador, at their recent halving party and new circular economy event.

Self Love, the key to everything

why is it so dang hard?

Super fun and inspiring to go to Berlin, El Salvador, attend BTC talks and see the new circular economy growing like wildfire due to the passion of a lot of people including JeThoreau and Charlie.

This looks cool @jack. I would love to see some in the new Bitcoin Hardware Store in El Zonte!

The self-custody Bitcoin (BTC) wallet built by Jack Dorsey’s fintech firm is now being shipped to customers in 95 countries.

Kind of weird. It is fun here. Other social media feels like shit. Must be an ostrich thing. I need a t-shirt. #itsnothowitlooks #itisallabouthowitfeels #livelikeyoumeanit

This week I wrote a bit about the Mi Premier fundraiser dinner in San Salvador along with how you might want to grow wings if you are a fish 😉. Read it here on Substack:

I looked through the glass of my fish tank and saw something new

Life can unfold into unimagined possibilities. Maybe we are in the process of discovering light speed?

Something landed for me tonight whilst talking to Tip_NZ before she performed at the Mi Premier Bitcoin Annual fundraiser. Something I know but didn’t know in my bones until she said it. Me: “I love El Salvador and the people are so welcoming. But they are selling their property at what is a big profit for them and they won’t be able to buy it back in the future. They might not like us new expats as much when they can’t afford to live on the beach anymore.” Tip: “Not if they sell it for Bitcoin.” Me-in-my-head: “OMG, of course. They just need to understand that.” Thanks Tip for an ah-ha moment and a fantastic performance. Thanks John and everyone at Mi Premier Bitcoin for teaching people on a very tight budget and staying independent and open source. #stacksats

This is my newest post regarding the adventure of car hunting here in El Salvador. But it is really about trusting yourself 100%. Which in the end is about embracing your personal sovereignty. Which is about owning bitcoin. Which all involves why you are here. Follow your “Hell YES!” and all will be well. Be strong. Stack sats. Put your energy behind what matters most to you. (Which is one reason I am taking time to post this here…I believe Nostr can and is changing the world for the better).

Does it feel like a "Hell, YES!"?

The El Zonte Bitcoin Farmer’s Market is bigger every time. My friends Clusk and Gabriela just started a new fresh-squeezed OJ business. There is so much happening here. Entrepreneurship, enthusiasm, and hope. instagram.com/lindyfruit

There is a heat wave in El Salvador today and the electricity and AC are out until 1pm here in El Zonte. So I walked on the beach early and then got a day pass here. I love living free.

This is a link for my latest blog. What are your ways to feel good?

I want to feel good in a world that sometimes feels like it has gone crazy

the comedian who cried, practices to hold a new frequency, and scoring a cottage on the sea

Ok. This says something as this is my third attempt to post what I want and I am here, attempting it again. Because you @jack put fire under my ass when I saw you in a video from BTC Atlantis say we need to USE the things we want. And I do want purple ostriches bad. And then @paul keating got me up and running again on Primal when things were not working so I can do some zapping. And he had me pause and close my eyes while he zapped me. So I could feel it. Really feel it. And honestly, zapping is orgasmic. I am really into zapping. So I am glad I can do it more because I may not be able to get enough of it. @UNCLE ROCKSTAR you know what I mean? But I don’t think I need AA for ZAP addicts for this. Some things are just good for you. They give you energy. They are encouraging and fun and clean. Never too much of that for me. So zap me baby. And I will write some non-technical things from El Salvador, land of hope, on transformation or anything I find humorous or interesting. Maybe even at times a tad inappropriate or edgy just for fun because no one will ban me!!!!!!I God that feels freeing. So zap the hell out of me because it feels like this (take 3):

I am new to posting much here or using social media in general…which I am sure everyone here understands. My aversion to censorship and many other things have led me to Nostr and to attending Nostrica in Costa Rica. It was a life highlight for me as I left with a sense of optimism and hope for humanity. Currently I write a weekly blog on Substack for free. This week, I touched on the energy of war, including the energy of war as it relates to Bitcoin. Sometimes, friends read my blog and respond personally to me. One friend, who teaches about BTC at the college level, just did so. I asked her if we could bring the topic here, more publicly. Are we, as lovers of personal freedom, autonomy, and cheerleaders for a healthier world, at war with things? Are we at war with the Fed? Are we at war with whoever is not in agreement with us on things? And if so, is that helping? I am hopeful my friend will add her comments here and that this link is adequate. But even if you don’t read what I wrote, which was not targeted specifically towards this topic as it relates to BTC, it seems like a useful topic to explore.

Ok. Time for a beginner non-technical first public post here. And I want you to celebrate with me because I am on my way to Zapping (lesson #2, next week). I want you brilliant-changing-the-world people to know that I have now sent 1 Satoshi to Arman, using Wallet of Satoshi. Successfully. Magically, for pretty much free. I also want you to know that my homework is to pay Arman, for a series of classes on BTC, using BTC, and load some BTC on my Wallet of Satoshi now, before I go to El Salvador, which I hope to do within the next six weeks. I also have a way to track that for my sh**..Ty tax tracking which I still currently need to do for my sense of well being (tax programs are hellish if you can’t account for spending…and yes, I know there is non-KYC…but it has been an on ramp for me. I respond well to kindness and not criticism, so please hold back if you are a venting person). Finally, here is the best thing: Arman taught me I have an address on Wallet of Satoshi so I finally found my Zaps my friend sent me, which I could not find on my Alby extension. I am not religious and I was feeling really fiesty yesterday due to things I see happening in the world I do not like at all, and I was talking to God about what do with all this energy and why I was designed so dang fiesty. I also have a Substack blog I started called Becoming a Butterfly. Drum roll please. Here is my random email address for wallet of Satoshi: willfulinsect22@walletofsatoshi.com I think Arman was jealous.
