Hey, I’m nostr:npub18rjdwux48asrcz25k32tqfxeuunwcm64v0eqvm8vw9aljyytfyss68fxch

I am the community builder of

nostr:npub17cyatz6z2dzcw6xehtcm9z45m76lde5smxdmyasvs00r4pqv863qrs4ml3 in #ElSalvador & I also run

BitDriver, the first taxi business in the country that operates solely on the #BitcoinStandard.

I’m on a mission to change the world.

Here’s my story:

I used to work in the boring world of banks, “helping” people with loans and credit

cards🥴

But one day, I took a trip to El Zonte & I discovered #Bitcoin from a lady who sold us a

bag of ice.

We bought it out of curiosity, not knowing how this episode would change my life

During the pandemic, I saw a newspaper story about Bitcoin being called “digital

gold”.

I wanted to learn more, but it was hard to find information in Spanish.

I searched on Facebook but I couldn't find any helpful groups but scams.

In 2021, our president Nayib Bukele announced #Bitcoin as legal tender in #ElSalvador.

I was SHOCKED about it & started explaining to my family and friends what this meant.

Little did I know, my life was about to change. One day I lost my job and started driving for Uber.

But one of those trips changed everything. Four foreigners got in, and we heard news

about protests against #Bitcoin adoption.

One of the passengers was

John Dennehy, founder of

nostr:npub17cyatz6z2dzcw6xehtcm9z45m76lde5smxdmyasvs00r4pqv863qrs4ml3 , and he

asked me if I could give him an interview.

That’s how I became the first student of

nostr:npub17cyatz6z2dzcw6xehtcm9z45m76lde5smxdmyasvs00r4pqv863qrs4ml3 and received classes

directly from John

I quickly understood everything about #Bitcoin . This was just the beginning.

Then, I had an idea: I wanted to offer my taxi service and accept #Bitcoin.

It felt like magic once I began doing it!

my first announcement for AdoptingBTC2021

That’s how I became the first driver in #ElSalvador to accept #Bitcoin & named my company ‘Bitdriver’

From working in the traditional financial system to being able to provide transportation

services for the huge amount of people visiting #ElSalvador

Working on education at

nostr:npub17cyatz6z2dzcw6xehtcm9z45m76lde5smxdmyasvs00r4pqv863qrs4ml3 has changed my life.

And just as I change, I want the lives of my people, of my country to change, and that

can only be achieved with education and patience.

We knew we had to #startsmall before we expanded, but now we’re ready to go to

the next level.

We’ve received donations and support from

Jack , Greg Foss, Bitcoin Beach, Blink Wallet , Bitfinex , Looking Glass and PayStand

And we are just getting started.

Onward!

loving your work from the first day of my rabbithole journey back in 2020🙏

alcohol is a shitcoin, real sovereign individuals don't numb themselfes

excellent read, I read it 2015.

the part about "inbetween stimulus and response there is a gap. in this gap lies your responsability" started my journey obsessing over emotional growth🙏

If you consciously go through your emotional/spiritual awakening process, you know from direct experience:

At some point, everyone will find to Bitcoin.

Awakening breaks reality into it's most basic elements, which are part of everyone's inner world.

Deep down everybody is thriving for the same values.

I have seen a cool tool for that, don't remember the name though... maybe it was created by nostr:npub1cmmswlckn82se7f2jeftl6ll4szlc6zzh8hrjyyfm9vm3t2afr7svqlr6f ?

it's going to happen anyway.

imo the only guard against this, are decentralized webs of trust.

scoring each other and then filtering to only see those keys, who are scored high by keys you are also scoring high.

scoring posts (e.g. from 0-100, or -10 to +10) to cut through noise more easily.

and then filtering to see only those keys/ posts that are scored high by keys I am scoring high myself.
