TLDR: Be kind to BTC Noobs, and the normies that haven't figured out they are rats in a cage yet. I was lucky to meet the right people at the right time. It is my turn to hold the torch and show people the way out of a broken system. I have a lot of ideas! Hire me!

I vividly remember my first halving when I was just another ordinary shitcoiner, concerned only for $$$ gains. However, within 6 months I developed a deeper understanding of the flawed logic in the cryptospace, and eventually shed my narrow-minded approach towards wealth and began to see the world for what it is.
On the eve of my second halving, I take pride in my ability to #HODL through the bear market, stack sats, and change almost everything about my life. The choices I make, the opinions I hold, the behaviors I exhibit, the relationships I form. I am just honeybadgering, along fearlessly HODLing while facing the challenges of life, and constantly unlearning 40+ years of programming. #ThisIsTheWay
In this era of Bitcoin, I feel privileged to be associated with some of the most brilliant, generous, and innovative minds. I give full credit to them for helping me get where I am today, and I am grateful for their knowledge and time to teach.
I am seeking opportunities to transition my skillsets in UX, Design, and Brand Strategy into a role with a #Bitcoin adjacent company in 2024 and I am excited to see what the future holds.💋
Would appreciate DMs and referrals as to not dox my entire professional identity here on X.

It’s amazing how the path of the HODLer is to realize that earn $$$ thru Sh!itcoins is still being trapped in the centralized game.
This post is just super accurate and shows maturity earned during a real #bitcoin journey
For me, 2024 is all about helping expand the reach of #Bitcoin tech to as many people as possible.
Recent actions by governments worldwide show that our time to act is limited. While I don't see any chance for Bitcoin to fail, there will be a big struggle over how many people will meaningfully join the network.
Amid rising BTC/USD rate, noise from those preoccupied with their self-centered agendas, and outright scams pushed by bad actors, it's challenging to stay focused and ensure you’re part of Bitcoin's bright future.
What I’ve done over the recent months was all to push forward components that I see as critical for Bitcoin to reach as many people as possible:
- Voucher Plugin: I demoed this with nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m to show how we can have this tech as part of FOSS stack and streamline onboarding people through a network of merchants. In the second half of 2024, I will release the final version, once all other pieces are in place.
- Bolt Card Functionality: nostr:npub1zfytz6ktce3av2svlfpl0e79e44tnskxmvlpkcmc7q0xct3qa49swvm60l integrated it directly into nostr:npub155m2k8ml8sqn8w4dhh689vdv0t2twa8dgvkpnzfggxf4wfughjsq2cdcvg, and we battle-tested it during nostr:npub1h493d0qgwhu95s82zd9sxrt3ckn3ttgvaf04z02neckadxw5fkvqte4cwz. The final release is coming soon for all who want to create their own Bolt Card Banks.
- Point of Sale: The work that nostr:npub1za04drthlvxtwsq0phwc4mgh8rxhjafjkv2w7pf6ze5afka8gvaquadur3, nostr:npub1y24gz5gwucl79vtv4ctwpysl0r5m4xyzu2rgulnr44ks3t5mt92q4nz2ad, nostr:npub14j7wc366rf8efqvnnm8m68pazy04kkj8fgu6uqumh3eqlhfst0kqrngtpf, nostr:npub1qm72nur0wn8cdgt0unp0amzssuqxg03tzpd4r87e856nxtz344fs6g74md did along with other BTCPay contributors over the last year on this front has been amazing. And then nostr:npub13ljnkd633c7maxatymv3y2fqq8vt3qk7j3tt0vytv90eztwgha9qmfcfhw plugin along with Bitcoinize device creates a perfect setup. I’ll continue to support and participate in POS deployments because refining this technology is crucial, so it’s the best possible for circular economies that want to deploy it.
- Payroll Plugin: I'm dedicated to solo development and evangelism whenever possible - I derive a lot of motivation from now seeing how many Bitcoin companies use this plugin to streamline their monthly payouts and save time.
- Evangelizing: I won’t just promote stuff I develop - with PayJoin/CoinJoin videos I have promoted great work others did; work that now can be critical when centralized coordinators are shutting down.
- Supporting Creators: Those who cover efforts and create content around what FOSS contributors develop will always have my support. That’s what my trip to nostr:npub1rjtrs7xqdvj3588r9njrexh2n750j7jdwx9qs543nutmdsj6ljaqpfmp8a with nostr:npub1rj7eh0eu3skwcyr5adpcjwxft9z4yjdspjryq6gynqw2j49f9a3quqjpw2 was all about.
- Nostr: Any additional time I have will be devoted to Nostr until #Nostriga. I've invested considerable time in the past year and a half helping organize events around the protocol I see as the one that will bring freedom of communication to masses. I hope you've enjoyed them.
So, if you ever see me, Uncle, doing something and wonder what is behind it - see this post.
Number go up, but also number of Bitcoiners go up. That’s what it’s all about for me.
And any help and support you send to ensure we succeed in this mission will be appreciated.

Look for Costa Rica, currently one of the country with most adoption
The most valuable lesson this cycle is never trust on any centralized blockchain project. The most you get into crypto, the most you understand why #bitcoin is the most decentralized project by far
The moment you understand bitcoin is not about increase your amount of dollars, or to get some revenue in fiat— you would be a happy #bitcoiner
Bitcoin standard nostr:note1tuxmje6muxfcpj4mj0xwc09lqpnp6yxmre2ary226p6vyq9w5zxs36gql3
What hardware do you have? I’m super interested to set my own node here in Costa Rica as well btw
There’s no way to learn about not investing in shitcoins w/o losing money.
Does anyone knows about Ark protocol? Recently announced in the btc conference. This sounds interesting and dangerous for lightning ecosystem
Losing money is the only way to learn about Sh!tcoins
Being able to buy breakfast and dinner in #costarica with #bitcoin thanks to the impressive effort of #[2] team — is a beautiful moment in our history as humankind ❤️
Pv 🇨🇷 🤙🏽⚡️
Thank you to anyone who was involved in #Nostrica event this week in #Uvita #CostaRica
embrace the freedom #[3] #[4]
Por supuesto que a un banco no le va gustar que se comercie fuera de sus fronteras, Uvita es el hub crypto de Costa Rica
#CostaRica 🇨🇷
#bitcoin
#Lightning ⚡️
Now you have the full costa rican experience ❤️🇨🇷
Ty! But I still don’t know where the event is happening 🥲
I know you are at Cafe Cora but looking for more info about the event in general, thanks
I’m registered from a whitelist shared a couple of months ago.
Do I need to some sort of extra register for tomorrow?
Any specific place or Address for attendees to know the place? Thank you for the #Nostr initiative. Pura Vida !
