 I don’t care how “healthy” a smoker claims to be, they will never convince me that smoking is good for you. 
 I thought so too until I started noticing some red pilled bitcoiners claiming that cigarettes are good for your testosterone levels and that it’s the reason why some Eastern Europeans live longer 🤦🏻‍♀️ 
 lmao true! 
 Some really enjoy living in denial 😆 
 The two I keep hearing: 
- it increases your testosterone levels
- Eastern Europeans live longer despite/because they smoke for decades 
🤦🏻‍♀️ 
 Just like drinking isn’t the healthiest and can become addicting, smoking isn’t gonna kill you if you do it every once in a while. But claiming that regular smoking is good for you is wild. 
 😆 nice try, Tesla 
 First time I heard about those was through Tucker Carlson lol 
 They’re both drugs, so they’re both toxic. Not sure which one is worse, but not gonna take up smoking any time soon 😆 
 100% 
 And that of those around you who would just like to enjoy clean air 😒 
 Couldn’t agree more 
 Time to take an in-depth look at the monetary history of my country 🇦🇷

 He only released a few copies during BTCPrague. The official launch is happening in September! 

I just started it but I can highly recommend it! 
 Kinda funny but I followed nostr:npub1htvcvuuq7met3agd8luxn2hhthyes7tjqjnuskjt7muth87qwpuq08qt0m ... 
 Hahah lucky me! 🧡 

Hope to meet you soon! 
 I think every bitcoiner should attend at least one #bitcoinn conference in their lives. 

The plebs you meet, the friendships you make, the things you learn, the hope and the positive energy you feel in the air is incredibly fulfilling & revitalizing. 

There’s nothing like it 🧡 
 See you at the next one, sir 🫡 
 Exactly! Glad you enjoyed it and will be going back for more 😊 
 Wish I could go. I’ll be FOMOing hard 🥲 
 Nostr conferences are free so if one happens to take place somewhere nearby, you should definitely go. It’s worth it!! 
 Always start planning early, or it can get expensive real quick 😬 
 Wish I could 🥲 Lugano might be my next stop! 
 Got a lovely wedding gift and it had the best wrapping paper I’ve ever seen.

Bitcoiners get it. 

Thank you, team 🧡 @nastyhodl @themuzzman @ROCKSTAR @jayzio

 Had a woman come over to our booth today and ask if we had a #nostr t-shirt 🥹💜 She was the only person that asked us about it! 
 Damn, @knutsvanholm is so metal 🤘🔥🎸 #satoshirockamoto

 As expected, Saylor filled up a lot of chairs on the main stage @BTCPrague

 What a great first day at @BTCPrague 🙌

Attended the women’s brunch, hung out with my favorite ladies in #bitcoin & met many new ones. Feeling inspired 🫶

 The second picture didn’t upload 😅

I like these women 👇

 This really is the biggest #bitcoin conference in Europe 😳🔥 @BTCPrague 

https://m.primal.net/IiIf.jpg 
 It doesn’t even start until tomorrow 😂 
 My face when I walked in: 😱 
 Few indeed!! 
 Tomorrow is industry day! Exhibitors get early access 😄 
 Gigantic!!! 
 Preparing the mind and body for a hectic week of work and socializing with plebs in Prague 💪

 That’s the one! Haha 
 I’m the kind of person that will make sure all cookies are rejected upon entering a new website, even if it means spending time hunting for the hidden button that says “Reject All” or finding a different page that will give me access without cookies.

I don’t know if it truly works, but it’s worth a try. 
 lol yes 🤝 
 Haha if we started a band, that should definitely be the name 🍪 
 “oNlY tHe eSsEnTiAl cOoKIEs”

 Beautiful 👌 
 🤣🤣🤣 I feel your rage 
 Prague. I am in you.  
 LMAO creepy post of the day 🤣 
 If there’s money printing, there’s no free market capitalism. 

Only sound money can get us there. 
 Conbase 😆 I like that term 
 So good to catch up with these two lovely ladies 🧡 

BTCPrague is off to a great start! 🙌

 🙋🏻‍♀️😊 
 They banned me from society for being unvaxxed, but I didn’t care because I found freedom elsewhere.

They banned me on X for a month, but I didn’t care because I had Nostr.

If they ever try to freeze my bank account, it won’t matter because I have #bitcoin 

Become ungovernable. 
 At least you know the truth and are willing to accept it! Hope you’re doing well. 
 🙏

History repeats itself, doesn’t it?

 People have the memory of a goldfish. It’s incredible the amount of people who still support this ideology, thinking that “it’s gonna work this time” 🤦🏻‍♀️ 
 It really is!! 
 Every time… yet there are people who don’t get it or refuse to accept it 
 When you travel to a different country for a #bitcoin conference and you start wondering if every person you see wearing orange is here for the same thing 😂 

I’m ready for you, BTCPrague 🧡

 I’m enjoying the ratio 🤣

 “Journalism” 
 A bunch of people are gonna spam katherine long with aggressive profanity and threats of violence... 
 We’re better than that. At least, from the replies I’m seeing right now, she’s just being called out for her lack of “journalistic integrity,” if you can call it that. 

She needs to hear it and so do her colleagues if we don’t want this kind of attack to become the norm. 
 I’m not seeing any terrible replies for now… but I agree that we shouldn’t be nasty with her because that would only play into her ridiculous ideas. 

But I also don’t think “fighting with love” is gonna get us far. Calling out those who are in the wrong and making yourself heard can help spread the truth. Plus, this might shed more light on Nostr and bring more people here. 
 Just shared my opinion on her ridiculous article with Katherine on Twitter (@ByKLong)

You should too 😊


https://m.primal.net/IbEH.jpg 
 Worth it! 🙌 Going to like it now. 
 I thought of it as giving her constructive criticism… even though I was calling her names in my head 🙃 
 Good move. 

Most people won’t read the article anyway since it’s behind a paywall. But it’s good to send her a public message in an attempt to prevent her from doxxing any more people 🙃 
 Hopefully it’ll help spread the word about Nostr and bring more “far-right conspiracy theorists” here 😊 
 If you still have xitter boost Carla’s reply! nostr:note1g50vqwx8t8htpgtnl0nu5jnyjzvmpq2j9sudkp... 
 And share your thoughts too! She needs to hear our feedback 🙃 
 How much of a lowlife do you have to be to violate the right to privacy of an individual that’s helping protect freedom of speech around the world? 

Katherine Long from Business Insider, you’re a scumbag. 
 Wow. They doxxed nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6. Hey Busin... 
 What the actual hell. He should sue. 

I can’t believe this. 
 Nice t-shirt stack 👀 
 Not gonna lie, I did have a bit of FOMO watching all those videos and pictures of bitcoiners in Oslo. Seems like it was a success! 
 There’s something soothing about deep cleaning or cooking while listening to a podcast 
 It’s my favorite way of listening to podcasts 👌 
 I have so much respect for #bitcoin  educators. 

The consistency, determination and passion that they put into their content is real PoW. Awesome builders, to say the least 🧡 
 One month in Italy and I’m out here wishing I could live off pizza and wine. 

Torture 🥲
