100% this!! This is by far the biggest lesson that five year full time digital nomading has taught me.
If you remove everything “semi-external” from your life and everything becomes an optionality, the only thing that will always be there is “you as a person”. But then the version of “you” that remains when all traditions, rituals, habits, and structures disappear.
There is still/always a place you live, friends you have, relationships you build, a job/passion you work on. But life is not destined by rigid external factors.
It’s been a great year. Our webshop reached a quarter million € turnover. We still lost bitcoin as we purchased more stock and on average the euro value of bitcoin increased more than the sales value of the products. Nevertheless we are happy with what we achieved. €150k on bitcoin payments. €100k on fiat payments.
We’ve also supported an enormous amount of development, new initiatives and local bitcoin adoption. Would like to thank the following people that are on Nostr for the amazing year. Probably not finding or able to tag most.

We’re working on a “youth curriculum” which will be open sourced by the Salvador government in Q1/Q2 of next year!
So .. WIP :)
In return for a loan deal with the IMF, El Salvador had to give up some of its pro-bitcoin policies. It only made the Bitcoin law better.

It's throwback time with an aftermovie!🎬

This was lit!
Same for me! And I've been fine all the time. But it was kinda of a reminder that you become ignorant when traveling haha, you forget about things you do as an "amateur traveler who follows best practices"
Which was when I spent a month in Watamu, I bet Nairobi is fine.
I didn’t have to show it on arrival if I recall correctly. I also kinda forgot that malaria is a thing, and all my nomad housemates took malaria pills.
Don’t type a message while uploading footage.
Wait until it’s too finished. Then type your sentence
if you see me in public, ask to play a round of Bitcoin trivia... you may just end up like Leo 😅
