#806238 Tales of a wise Rabbit:
On the road from Riga to Warsaw (That’s the goal). I started by foot packing my stuff and saying goodbye to nostr:npub1hklphk7fkfdgmzwclkhshcdqmnvr0wkfdy04j7yjjqa9lhvxuflsa23u2k. Couldn’t have wished for better company throughout the weekend! 🧡
Soon I was running into nostr:npub14km3wxd554j0vls9amq23tue8zyj6tceyapfam8068q496ld5l7s6uck35 who was coming out of the occupation museum. I realized that I hadn’t seen much of the city that weekend, was occupied enough by #bh2023. Will have to come back next year!
After I crossed the main bridge, I was standing on the street that was leading outside the city. I didn’t have much luck at that spot, with my goals of going to Kaunas, Elk and Warsaw being a bit ambitious, so I decided to take a bus to a more favorable spot that was along the highway leading towards Lithuanian border.
First Person to take me with them was Edik, only for a few Kilometers though but he took me to a better spot.
Here I stood for what seemed like ages and realized that I had to lower my goals so I put Iecava on the sign, a small city on the road towards the Latvian border.
I was taken there by Edwin a chef that works in an Italian Restaurant in Riga.
He dropped me off on a bus stop outside Iecava which was good for stopping though pretty high speed, so I stood there for a fair amount of time seeing cars speeding by and slowly loosing hope of making it anywhere significant that day.
Luckily Igor hit the brakes and took me 20km further towards the border to a city called Bauska. He’s working with granite, building beautiful stairs and tables for public and private customers in Riga. He told me, that he was hitchhiking from Berlin to Riga when he was younger and therefore felt obligated to fulfill the hitchhikers code of honor by taking me part of the way.
Different bus stop, same feelings. Doubt and Hunger slowly creeping up. It was getting late in the afternoon and I hadn’t even made it to the Latvian border yet.
Truck drivers hinted that they were going to sleep and weren’t therefore able to take me with them, everyone except Pavel, who told me that he was going to Warsaw the next morning and that I could sleep in the back of his truck. He took me to the Latvian, Lithuanian border and stopped his truck there since his driving time for the day was already depleted by going from Riga to Tallin and back.
Since it was still bright I decided to try to push further, I wanted to make it to Warsaw in time to catch Fernando who has a place for me, going to Berlin.
Currently I’m sitting in the back of a white van steered by two fierce looking but very hearty Lithuanians Roman and Nadim. They are going to Kaunas, finally I’m making some progress. Let’s hope I’ll get lucky again and find someone that is going to Warsaw in the night, willing to take me with them.
After 1,5hrs trying to find someone going further I feel like I should resign for today. Hitchhiking in the dark is exponentially harder and I think my luck has run out for a night.
However I’m at a pretty good spot I’d say, sitting in a 24h gas station. Got some music, my book with me and think I’ll spend the night here. Tomorrow I’ll try to make it to Berlin. Since I wasn’t much of an early bird today, I’ll see if I’m more successful tomorrow morning. 1000km to go.

Layer 2 day at #bh2023.
This story takes place at a warehouse in the outskirts of Riga. It is a great location because there are 2 Layers attached to it.
Primarily it serves as a warehouse to receive and sort donations of any kind to help Ukraine.
Secondly it harbors approx. 300 revolutionaries fighting for a world of financial independence, which is free of government funded wars.
The flair here is different.
Everyone is building something to make the world a better place. Doing their part in pushing forward the financial revolution. And the speed if innovation is mindboggling.
„If you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room.“
Guess I have found a right room to be in, since I almost felt like a braindead monkey after listening to how we can scale #Bitcoin on Layer 2 with Ark by Steven Roose. He did a great job though, tickling corners of my brain that I didn’t know existed.
Being part of the greatest revolution in history is different from the skripts you’d see in movies because it’s radically peaceful. Information, Code and Smiles that’s the weapons we wield to fight financial oppression. Everyone of us being aware that we’re part of something bigger than our egos. However there is „A New Hope“
„Hope is not the belief that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense no matter how it turns out.“ -Václav Hável
I guess it’s this flair of certainty that what we do makes sense that makes this place feel special.
If government might turn against us one day, I’d be honored to continue this operation underground. Standing side by side with my fellow #honeybadgers. They’d stand no chance because we’re fearless, radically peaceful fighters for a united world.

On the road to Riga now! I’m a bit nervous, as always when you’re outside your comfort zone and don’t know what life throws at you. Goal is to make it to Wrocław today, but at my fist stop I’m already waiting since 1,5hrs for someone to take me east with them. Can only go up from here, I guess! Luckily I found Viktor who is willing to give me a ride till Erfurt. First time riding a truck and it’s immediately a danger transport.
We had an amazing convo, in which he stated his interest to move to the woods one day to have nothing to do with politics and government. Overall great guy, great values, open, honest. We went together until an interchange at Kirchheim, where he had to stop for his mandatory break.
This is where I met Zsolt, a guy in his early sixties, I guess. He showed me a picture of his sweet grandchild Greta. This man had such a big heart you wouldn’t imagine. He was in Germany to pick up used care utensils, like stair aids and sickbeds, to refurbish them with his son, Adam, in a small workplace in eastern Hungary. He told me of all the people he was helping with his care equipment, and of those where all hope was lost and only his religious spirits seemed to work. A true Christian, with wise thoughts about father-son relationships and values of life beyond the hunt for money, fame and riches.
We went together until a rest stop after Jena, where he dropped me off with the best wishes for my journey.
His wishes were heard because soon after, Waldeck agreed to take me with him until the polish border. He barely spoke german nor english and my polish isn’t sufficient to hold conversations either so we mostly sat in quiet and listend to the scratching radio. During our ride I found myself often times in worrying loops about the not so distant future, but stoic quotes and thoughts were able to send some relief. After all I couldn’t make the truck go faster and I was on the right way. However the sun was setting and I didn’t know how to get to Wrocław yet.
So after dropping me off at this trucker port shortly behind the polish border I was on my own again. With my big sign and smile I stood at the roundabout before the highway hoping for an angel to arrive.
And less than 5 min later he did. Andrew was going to Warsaw, transporting medicals that had to be within a certain range of temperature. I told my friend in Wrocław to not wait for me, since I was directly going to Warsaw and questioned Andrew about his time in the UK. He was operating CNC machines for a company that manufactured special parts for Boeing, Rolls Royce and Red Bull Racing. After Brexit and working on fiber optic mapping, things got too expensive and stressful over there, so he decided it was time to go back to Poland. Here he can follow his passions of mushroom hunting and fishing.
I thought I was a truffle pig after finding a great amount of chanterelles yesterday with my mum, but apparently polish woods are built differently. He showed me pictures of his latest hunt with 3 baskets full of porcini’s.
After our little talk Andrew offered me to lay down in the bed behind the driver seat for the rest of the trip to Warsaw, so I can get at least some sleep during the night. I took that offer without much hesitation and slept peacefully until Warsaw.
Now I’m sitting in the cozy lobby of a Leonardo Hotel awaiting my time of departure with fellow plebs to Riga at 7:20 today.

Fuck around and find out! 🤭 
Went to a restaurant I found on nostr:npub1864jglrrhv6alguwql9pqtmd5296nww5dpcewapmmcazk8vq4mks0tt2tq that accepts Bitcoin and had dinner there with friends.
Paid the bill for my Udon Noodle dish from my self-custodial Lightning wallet to their self-custodial Lightning wallet. The payment took 0.5 seconds to finalize.
Bitcoin is alive.
This is the way! 
Of course it worked now, though I have no clue what I did differently ;D
Probably changed the Account in the extension...
Why am I having issues to send notes from my Laptop on #Snort? Dont know how to use the alby extension properly I guess... #NostrNoob
These are the ones I’m attending in the next few weeks!
Baltic Honeybadger(1-3.09) and BTC 23 (14-17.09) Innsbruck.
