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 💜 💜

Failed attempt at the nakamoto deadlift on130kg
Fourth rep was pants and the handstand push up was not clean
Time to drop the weight and get it good
Still. It’s progress for a skinny surfer.

So my friends in lisbon who were very and extremely early to ETH are all full send into memecoins.
It’s kinda sad and sobering talking to them as the vibe is glib.
But then I remember they throw the lavish parties and live in villas with pools, expensive art and cleaners. lol.
Anyway. Their initial hope and belief that ethereum might actually provide some financial innovation or help, for example, millennials get a home with some clever on chain mortgage have evaporated.
There’s now Revolut, Wise, Monzo all sorts of neobanking solutions and the stuff they tried on ethereum doesn’t work as well nor have the traction of incumbent solutions.
The idealistic devs are now worn out and jaded. The ones remaining are now trying to secure the bag…Hence meme coins.
They’re a bit older than me, 33 to 41 ish and some of them are chatting kids.
So the focus is now: how we can 100x “popcoin” or some other meme junk so they can buy a restaurant and live quietly in Portugal.
They know it’s all scam bag pumping scheme and there’s a meme coin cabal running the meme space but they don’t care.
Secure the bag and GTFO is the play.
They’re wicked smart it feels a waste of talent.
And no, despite my best attempts they don’t understand bitcoin.
Two of them were hedgies before ethereum. The other two are hardcore devs from Germany who spent time in Silicon Valley.
I guess they’ve been comparatively rich for at least a decade and they don’t really see the separation of money and state part.
It’s sad and a bit funny.
I wish they’d see the orange light but part of me resents the shite they’ve peddled for years.
Ramble over.
Have a good evening Nostr ✌🏻
Just entered the negotiations to buy

Crawling under my workload…
But I had a great spontaneous dinner with a bitcoiner 🫂
And i spent an hour in a blabla car with a Russian girl who knew a fair bit about bitcoin.
She told me about how she used to see btc donations at the end of Navalny’s videos. She was fiercely anti Putin.
And that a Russian friend of hers in Cologne uses bitcoin to send money to her family in Blagoveshchensk (Благовещенск)
Amazing innit. I’d never heard of that place before and it’s bloody miles away.
Bitcoin is everywhere and nowhere.
Anyway.
Hello from Lugano 🇨🇭
Another big day tomorrow. Love and strength 💜
Hahahahaha. So I was invited to speak at a crypto-tangential conference. It’s about “parallel society”
And I need an Eth address to get my flights reimbursed

I really dislike that when you open @primal you immediately see trending in the past 24 hours
And it is always the usual suspects:
Odell shouting about something political, pysop-y or “the current thing”.
Lyn coz ya know, it’s Lyn
A bitcoin podcaster
Another bitcoin podcaster.
I’ve unfollowed a lot of these trending types and tried to mute some of them yet they still appear.
Can you make it so when you open @primal it goes straight to your feed?
And if I mute someone can they not appear in trending?
Ps primal is great for zapping and it’s my daily driver.
Morning rant over! 🧡
Another day ☀️
Another video shoot for Joe Nakamoto
Another videographer who now wants to accept #bitcoin
#onebyone
Grateful to @BTCsessions for creating evergreen resources!

So this lady is doing street interviews and said she worked for a national newspaper in Portugal
I agreed to go on camera (pretty bad of me to say no given I do this all the time lol)
And I finish the interview and she says it’s for Facebook and TikTok and that she’s a student, not a journalist 🤣
She *used* to work for the newspaper.
I’m like lady why lie with your pitch? Almost wanted to ask her delete the footage.
Anyway she asked what you want for Christmas and I said 1) peace and 2) more Europeans to understand bitcoin Coz it’s a tool for peace 🕊️

Yesterday, I spent 12 hours in the German Parliament, the Bundestag, discussing…. #Bitcoin.
Yes, the German Parliament regularly speaks to the dangers of fiat currency while exploring the growing acceptance of Bitcoin, thanks to the initiative “Bitcoin im Bundestag.”
I had the opportunity to interview @joanacotar, the Member of Parliament leading this Bitcoin educational drive.
We spoke about Germany’s blunder in selling 50,000 BTC this summer, the budding acceptance of Bitcoin within the country, and the vibrant grassroots Bitcoin community (hello 21!)
Joana has been leading Bitcoin talks throughout the year in both English and German, inviting MPs from across the political spectrum and their aides to formally learn about Bitcoin.
It was bizarre and somewhat inspiring to see MPs not only attend last night’s event but ask insightful questions about the future of Germany and Bitcoin.
I’m not a big politics guy but I’d love to see a similar initiative in the UK.
A big thank you to Joana and her pro-Bitcoin team—Stephan, Dominic, Mathias, and Nina—for their time and for tolerating my camera gear and microphones as we turned their office upside down (!).
I also conducted a lightning transaction from self-custodial wallets in German Parliament (kinda cool right), signed a Hodler and hugged lots of lovely German Bitcoiners who were present 🇩🇪 🇩🇪
It was also great to chat with @Excellion, who surely has one of the most interesting bitcoin jobs.
He advises governments and key opinion leaders worldwide, from Thailand to Montenegro to Argentina, on how to adopt, embrace, or adapt to Bitcoin.
Though I usually avoid discussing Bitcoin price speculation, I couldn’t resist with Mr Omega himself.
Hearing how more and more nation-states are beginning to open the door to Bitcoin—and will (let’s face it) eventually buy or mine BTC at a state level—reminded me once again of how scarce Bitcoin truly is.
Here’s the reminder to you:
Bitcoin is the scarcest asset on Earth.
There will only ever be 21 million coins.
Soon, owning tens of thousands, let alone hundreds of thousands, will be near impossible, even for nation-states with massive money printers at their disposal.
And a big thanks to Samson for giving up *the* scarcest thing—his time.
I’ll be publishing these interviews and a brief investigation on my YT channel soon.
If I can compress the living daylights out of it it can go straight to #nostr too.
Stay tuned 😊
Ps,—you don’t have enough Bitcoin.

Nope, not my vibe. Politicians are people too. Some of them are very good people. It’s fair to say a lot are quite bad.
But yeah I’ll happily support the pro bitcoin ones where I can as it’s another lever to bitcoin adoption
Can I call Germany a superpower nation?
I know the us and China are of course. I feel germany isn’t too far behind.
It’s for a youtube thumbnail + title. And I mention it in the script
Just got stopped, searched, bag strewn on the airport floor on arrival to Germany.
I’m a bit shaken up that was horrid.
The Alsatian sniffer dog was adamant I had something on me.
I know I dont have any drugs so I was trying to be helpful to speed it up. But it’s pretty intimidating when they’re so abrupt and aggressive.
The policeman was a massive cunt though. Threw my stuff on the floor and was the “guilty until proven innocent” kind of guy.
“You have drugs. I am going to find them .”
He made me repack my bag in front of the queue leaving the plane.
I held up the queue though and they were all scowling, naturally.
They tested my hands with some swab thing and the lady policemen had to check with the other guy and said “it’s high.”
It can’t possibly be the case as I haven’t touched weed since maybe the summer?
Hate to judge but there weren’t a lot of brain cells between them.
But they still weren’t satisfied so i got paraded through past the gate to do a “underpants search” as they were adamant I had something.
At this point i was like what are my right here, you can’t just strip search someone.
Once we went through the gate though the sniffer dog changed its mind.
It stopped butting my right thigh. Thank fuck for that.
But man. All that coz they thought I had a bit of weed?
Gahhhhh. Jesus wept what a waste of resources. I missed my train and I’m probs gonna go full radicalised.
Fuck the fucking fuckers.
welcome to germany lol
