Bloody crap news.
My ESTA was unexpectedly rejected to the states.
The airline won’t check me in and the USA certainly won’t let me in ⛔️
I’m stuck in Lima, Peru 🇵🇪
I’m devastated. I can no longer speak at Pacific Bitcoin.
I’m now struggling to find a way home to Europe as most layovers pass through the States 🇺🇸
I’m really sorry to let everyone down, particularly Cory, P, Stephen and the Swan team.
I was really looking forward to Pacific and just soaking up the LA bitcoin vibe.
At some point over the past month, my ESTA status changed and I wasn’t notified. I checked it before flying to Peru in early September.
I keep a copy of my esta on my phone and didn’t think to log in to the esta dashboard before flying to the states for the third time this year.
Ive searched and the rejection is undoubtedly because of me being in Cuba for the bitcoin documentary I shot there.
Im surprised as @RunwithBitcoin flew to the states successfully yesterday and he was in Cuba as well.
Either way, gotta learn from this and move on.
Next steps.
- work out how to get home.
- find some work to cover the $3k expense of this monumental kerfuffle.
- book an appointment with the British embassy to explain that I am in fact not a Cuban collaborator for a new visa.
- be less of a moron.
I’m really sorry. Hope you’re having a better day than me.
And to those going to Pacific, please send it 🧡

Started to plan our 2nd roadtrip through several States in the US. For now I convinced my girlfriend to start in Austin😗.
Last year we rented a car through SunnyCars, however next year we would like to go longer than 30days and it seems SunnyCars don’t rent out cars longer than 30days.
If someone has tips or tricks regarding this please let me know. We’re non US.
Remember you got this, go smash it!

Teasing vibes are high
Ask and you shall receive. The market speaks.
A lot of people wanted to be able to buy #BrokenMoney using money that isn't broken, and I've been coordinating with Saifedean for the past month in preparation for his bookstore launch to make that possible upon launch.
On https://thesaifhouse.com/ you can now buy my book Broken Money in hardcover, ebook, or audiobook (pre-order) with fiat, on-chain bitcoin, or bitcoin over Lightning. You get a 10% discount for paying in bitcoin.
The hardcover version on his site is also a unique edition. Rather than a laminate cover, this one has a cloth cover and dust jacket, manufactured via the same supply chain that his new book Principles of Economics is.
Just bought it!!
