😆 luckily the wife has been on board from the start! Having our bank account frozen a few years back was a big push in the right direction originally.

Wow I bet! Scary stuff.

Totally fair.

Eventually it comes down to making a tough choice. Where do you want your limited time and energy to be directed? Do you want to continue supporting the old systems, or begin to redirect your PoW into a new system?

For most, it will be a gradual transition. But small choices, made intentionally along the way, make all the difference. Find ways to slowly remove yourself from whatever it is that holds you back. Keep pushing 💪

The other hurdle is getting the wife onboard haha spin me that one

Earning sats directly completely changes the game.

Instead of exchanging fiat for Bitcoin as a secondary savings tool, we do the opposite: Hold as many sats as we can, convert only the minimal amount necessary to pay our few remaining fiat bills each month, and most importantly — spend sats directly whenever possible.

It becomes a game of how many of our basic needs can be fulfilled using Bitcoin directly, and how little we ever have to interact with the legacy fiat systems— rather than how many sats can I stack and save, while still fully participating in the fiat systems which are built to hold you back.

Withdraw completely. Use Bitcoin. Exit the system completely, and take back your sovereignty. #optout #bitcoinonly2026

Love this. A definite goal. For me it’s hard to work out how to get paid directly in bitcoin when I’m in a country and contract in an industry which makes it basically impossible. NZ is asleep to Bitcoin.

fun bitcoin story that just happened:

I was driving home from sunset on my moto & ran outta gas.

I happened to run out right by this fruit stand that i frequent.

The guy that helps open coconuts and keep the place tidy walked over and made sure i was okay.

He offered to get me some gas and of course i said “si, por favor.”

I asked him if he had a bitcoin wallet. And he said “yes you gave me some bitcoin once, but i lost it”.

After redownloading nostr:nprofile1qqs254dy0xkkjdxsl4u08k7cs52u689q67s3pqfwwyfcp4va7avcjdgpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv9uq3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwa5kuegxwmyqx he saw the sats i gave him before just about double in fiat terms.

Told him that there might be a surprise when i got home in his wallet if I remembered his username.

I did and sent him some sats. You can too if you wish:

Finished consolidating UTXOs today. DCAing on chain all tidied up. New strategy in place.

Replying to

Same. Was surprised that he got 11k votes in the Auckland mayoral race. He seems to be generating some support from like minded people. I was also surprised at the “spyware” accusations against both the BNZ & ANZ banking apps. I will be following that up for sure!

Mark 3w ago

Agreed. I would love to be able to opt out of those ‘security’ features and be more responsible for my own scam risks. Is the only alternative to bank in store?

This is a great peak into New Zealand politics, how banks are beginning to spy on their users, the broken nature of money and more. 😳 https://youtu.be/tYoWbFUGs-Y?si=31e0RDoyBtZDORL0

Very interesting listen! Hadn’t heard of John before but perhaps worth keeping an eye on in the political space.

This week’s office. I seem to be at it again; I need more hands and eyes!

GM, and what a GM it is ☕️😺☀️

Been learning about UTXO consolidation. Had no idea it was something I should be thinking about. Nice low fees today!

Today our local #National MP Joseph Mooney visited Bro Barbershop one of our amazing Bitcoin merchants.

@josephmooneymp was offered a hair cut and he paid using #bitcoin through nostr:npub1eltphfvkul6t5ram3wc3tsnrw48p8vvg66tn2su3pmtnrthakcusccmk2v

It's great for our leaders to be on the ground connecting with our business owners.

A smooth process and a sleek cut ⚡️

The Bitcoin Basin has nearly 40 merchants just like @bro.barbershopnz make sure you support them when you can.

beginning of the bear market or the setup for new highs?

i make the case that bitcoin is the only liquidity smoke alarm the US has left and is telling us there arent enough dollars sloshing around the filthy fiat financial system. team red has to print a lot of money, and we will look back at this time as a buy the dip opportunity dressed as "4-year cycles".
