I had sats on Nicehash from when I mined on my CPU a few years ago
They informed me if I don't log in, they'll take the money ("we'll charge for inactive accounts), so I was luckily able to send to a lightning address.
Imagine all the trapped bitcoin sitting on all these various services we've used over the years
It was disheartening, but I got some cheers. Like none of these people have ever done a “crypto” payment (let alone Bitcoin) in person before.
From what I’ve seen anyway, most service folks are from LATAM
I’m next up on the Visionary stage at European Blockchain Convention in Barcelona to talk about consumer adoption of Bitcoin and its crypto offspring, and what we need in our public policies, our innovation, and our cultures to empower ordinary people to use them

Apologies to my Spanish friends, but I will never be able to conjugate “vosotros”
I’m an Usted kinda guy. Blame my high school Colombian Spanish teacher.
Random Tuesday. A lot of tourists. Perhaps there was a festival? I never found out what was happening as there were no signs anywhere. Just masses of people
Barcelona at night is an shitshow.
Thousands of people, construction blocking all major streets, cops blaring sirens, people pissing everywhere, throwing bottles
Heard at this crypto conference: yeah they just launched this new layer one, it’s revolutionary
Yeah, okay pal
Barcelona beach at nighttime 
It seems the local Austrian Post doesn’t accept this for me

COMPLY HARDER, FASTER, STRONGER 
Mr Tobo, I just can’t escape the American empire
never gave these folks my number yet here they are

I, for one, do not want "eco-friendly" racing.
I want burnt rubber, fuel fumes, and trashed cars
it always pains me to shut down a lightning node I had running for a long time with lots of graph connections and liquidity.
but sometimes you gotta move on, try different implementations or services, and juggle the balance between a hardware node and a software one
justin timberlake would be suffering in the streets
Barcelona: the city of innovation that forces you to wait 15 minutes before booking a rideshare in lieu of a taxi

I was a young ham at that point and felt intimidated. I also lived in an apartment so that was a no-go
