Thanks so much for the honest reply, really appreciate you taking the time.

It’s both helpful and a bit disheartening to hear. I was hoping Italy might be bold enough to embrace Bitcoin more openly. It feels like such an obvious path to rejuvenate the country, so much potential if only the mindset shifted. Sadly, it seems the fiat comfort zone still has a strong grip, reinforced by relentless MSM conditioning.

Your point about needing income from outside and avoiding setting up a business locally really hits home. That level of taxation and bureaucratic pressure would crush most sovereign-minded ventures before they begin. It’s frustrating, because the quality of life and cultural depth in Italy are incredible, but the system seems almost designed to push people away.

Feels like we’re all searching for our citadels these days. I keep hoping for pockets of sanity and courage across Europe, but the EU looms like a spectre over everything, pushing CBDCs, harmonising control, and suffocating local sovereignty. Still, we keep building, connecting, and staying orange-pilled.

Thanks again, friend. Hope to see you around Nostr, stay sovereign. 👊🏻
