Bullish on the German Bitcoin community 🇩🇪
Not so much on its government 😂
I made a new video, I wonder if you’ll agree 👀

Germany's $3 Billion Mistake—Is it Too Late to Buy Bitcoin?
https://youtu.be/eGQ9VNIDBkY
What would you like to ask John Carvalho, CEO of Synonym?
I wanted to focus on scaling and all the various OPs in bitcoin.
That and building lightning stuff.
Sorry Nostr been a bit sick lately
Man flu and thinking I could fight and surf my way through it
Today I’m in bed. Gonna try to post this final video later
Listen to your body ✌🏻
Who would you like me to interview?
Do I know any bitcoiners with a cool story to tell, or simply cool bitcoiners
Coming through Lisbon or near Lisbon next Friday?
Nostr related is more than acceptable 😉
I have an interview slot available and I hired a studio.
Please share or tag someone!! 💜
Bull Run Reflections as bitcoin nears $100k
Once you understand Bitcoin, you feel compelled to help others learn about it.
Rewind to the last bull run in 2020, and I felt guilty for not trying harder to help more people understand the coin. 🧵
Four years later, as we enter this new bull run, I’m far more at ease.
My conscience is clear:
All my friends know me as being into #Bitcoin (the ones who are left, lol).
My local haunts—cafés, surf shops—tease me about being "Mr. Bitcoin" (I always ask to pay in Bitcoin).
The side of my family that talks to me about Bitcoin now saves in Bitcoin.
I’ve spent the last 4 years advocating for Bitcoin:
BBC
Newspapers
YouTube
TikTok
Conferences
Even street corners!
Even my girlfriend’s friends (who I’ve never met) know me as "the Bitcoin guy."
They used to tease her about it on Instagram... now? Not so much.
I know my content has inspired others to:
Start Bitcoin communities
Save in Bitcoin
Win arguments against skeptics
Try new Bitcoin tools
Lighten their mood and remind them Bitcoin is the right path for humanity.
None of this is great for my OpSec, of course.
But that’s part of being a public advocate in a privacy-focused space.
On that note: I don’t own any Bitcoin. Bollocks! I lost it all... time to start stacking again today. 😉
Sadly, and maybe you’ve experienced this too, Bitcoin has strained some friendships.
I don’t know why it grinds people so much, but it does.
I hope those people eventually come around. And when they do, I hope I have the grace to be compassionate and humble.
I choose to advocate for Bitcoin because it’s our best tool to fight authoritarianism and central banking incompetence.
It’s the tool for empowerment.
Whether you’re:
Financially hamstrung in Cuba
Cut off in Senegal
Left behind in remote Peruvian villages
Sidelined in South Africa
Or fed up with the status quo in the UK...
Bitcoin is the answer.
And now, as the mirage of $100k draws closer, I have zero guilt. My conscience is clearer still.
I know I’ve done everything I can to promote Bitcoin.
And it feels good.
But the best part?
I've had so much fun. It's been a bloody trip.
I've seen the world. I've made some amazing, life long friends.
So cheers to you all, my friends.
It's been a joy, a rollercoaster and an honour to get to one hundred together.
Because remember, number go up = Freedom go up.
So here's to the next cycle and to building a bright orange future for the world 🧡 🌍
TL;DR
Every opportunity to advocate for Bitcoin, I’ve taken. Made friends. Feels good.

A close friend of mine is looking for therapy.
The therapist must be specialised in managing painful thoughts such as:
I wish I had more bitcoin
I wish I hadn’t spent #bitcoin on *that* stuff when I was a teenager
Also that general feeling of, “maybe I could have done something differently during the bear market to have more btc.”
Any ideas?
Currently watching @Piriya ⚡🟧 ⚡🟧

I’m grinning from ear to ear
This is why we win 🏆

It just clicked.
Crypto bros are rebels without a cause.
Bitcoiners are rebelling *with* a cause.
The crypto people don’t get it.
They missed the part about “chancellor on the brink” and went straight to the tech stuff.
I’ve had so many inane conversations with crypto bros this week it’s knackering.
Hmm. I’d rather spend time with normies than crypto people.
Had dinner with the crypto people after the conference.
Sent more sats to new blink and wallet of satoshi wallets.
Everyone of them was like “wow that’s so cool”
The ring trick works wonders.
Crypto people do not hold or understand bitcoin.
It’s startling.

I have sent sats to 4 crypto people today over lightning.
I’m at a Parallel societies event but it’s very crypto friendly.
They had no idea that this thing works. Amazing really.
My mum still thinks I’m a loon
But my dad I convinced in 2019 to buy a little bit each week.
In 2022 I was a mug in his eyes 🤣
And today I’m doing my best to be gracious.
Now it’s time to continue working on my mum!

Gm ☀️
2 months of twitter payouts just hit my account.
It’s insane how much twitter pays compared to youtube.
But it’s also far more than I earn on here.
YES OF COURSE THIS IS CENTRALISED KYC FIAT BULLSHIT AND I WISH IT WAS NOSTR ZAPS BUT THIS IS ALSO A REALITY CHECK
Consider what we’re up against 🤔 💭
With love 💜

Why are we not at $100k per bitcoin?
Idk, so let’s ask @Excellion the inventor of the Omega Candle 🕯️
This podcast interview formed part of the investigation into why the German government sold BILLIONS in Bitcoin.
That mini documentary will be ready very soon 👀
Until then, I had to share this tonight ahead of the US election result!
Please watch, share, zap and entertain your pet with Samson’s excellent insights.

Played padel against a guy who works in crypto, he’s like you know about crypto stuff, what do you do?
“I make bitcoin videos. Financial freedom stuff mostly!”
“Oh cool. me too man! I work in web3.”
Kill meeee 🤣
Was just walking around and my thoughts drifted back to Covid
And heard myself say “FOR FUCKS SAKE”
As I remembered that I’m vaccinated.
Fuck the fucking fuckers gahhh
Try this for a dystopia?!
I wrote an apology letter to my girlfriend with a gift attached to the email (already a bit dystopian I know, but it’s an online gift thing) .
Anyway, before I forwarded it to my gf I asked ChatGPT to smarten up the apology message.
Reading it back, it made me well up 🥹🥹. (Been an emotional week okay)
Point is, it expressed what I meant way better than I could and nailed exactly what I was getting at.
I don’t know whether I’m like “fuck yeah AI tools” or im like “bru, this is getting too close to the bone”.
New video just dropped 💥 💥
I flew on a bloody bitcoin-friendly private jet! 🛩️
(watch out for the sly bitcoin educational content 😉 )
Please watch, zap, share, send it to your pal who doesn't quite understand bitcoin 💜 💜
