自由閪。Defund the system! Passionate about privacy, encryption and ⚡️bitcoin. Forbidden lands, forgotten empires. Hong Kong is my home.

Giving out (or accepting) free pizza for Pizza Day is a bit like making crosses on Easter Friday, or fasting on Thanksgiving. Yes, you’re referencing the holiday, but you’re either willfully or ignorantly disrespecting it.

The banking system is a great and fun party, although there are some cracks in the floor and the building might collapse. The regulator, aware of the issue, proceeds to lock the emergency exits to “help prevent a stampede.”

Miami was really great. I’m impressed with how well organizers are able to get all the Bitcoin factions and industries together while supporting the grass roots and open source communities. A bit surprised to see almost no Bitcoin payments outside the venue this year, there’s very little interest from attendees and companies to actively use the thing they’re so excited about.

Coolest swag in town right now. Bronze, dollar coin for scale. Not yet for sale but will bring some to Miami!

Awesome visiting Victoria for Bitdevs. Incredible energy all around.

It took me two weeks in total for 13,000km, but I allowed myself generous stays in the cities where I changed trains. The longest train was 72h, from Bishkek to Moscow

Great maps and article! In 2017 I had the chance to travel along these paths, from Hong Kong to Europe by train. Sadly the Pan Eurasian land route will be inaccessible now for quite a whole

After six weeks of nesting under my window, these six goslings finally hatched and made their way (with human help) to the grass by the water. The Canadian white-cheeked Nostrich!

Or one more relevant for authoritarian places: “everything has always been the way it’s going to be.”

Nobody goes there anymore, it’s too packed

Visa is the worst shitcoin of them all, I’d much rather use Ripple of BCash to pay for stuff.

Uhm so what happened to that economic theory that financial uses will price out non-financial uses?

Zap around and find out

Bitcoin is only going to fix this it people actually use it

Great scenery! Lots to discover up there!
