Self-health adventuring, book-sniffing bibliophile. Enchanted with love, life, humans, animals and the woo-woo. Living in El Salvador and trad-wife to her deliciously eccentric, deeply beloved hubby Indie. Host of anarchy & freedom flavored meet-up called ‘Chatoshi’ in San Salvador where we all meet up and, like, chat... “Us smelly hippies and nerds are going to save the world ~ Bianca” ♡

CK’s interview style is so unique, her questions so strategically crafted that it brings about the deepest insights from her guests, all of whom have been absolute ninja thinkers and total rockstars! This one is packed with amazing predictions, hopes and very likely outcomes to what might take place in this changing world. Jeff Booth is articulate, incredibly balanced, wise and very relatable. It was an absolute pleasure to delve into his thinking and I know I am going to watch this again.

My biggest take away from this was HOPE! Massive hope about how things will very likely turn out. Watch it, no matter where in your awakening journey you are and especially if you are keeping a close eye on El Salvador.

Mine is sunshine! Not because I'm disciplined but because I don't keep them around the house. 😄

When I see someone thriving or happy, I piggy back on their joy and ride it like a rodeo cowboy, especially if things aren’t going well for me. My strong recommendation is to give that a try instead of getting triggered and trying to piss all over their parade so they stumble into the darkness right next to you to keep your misery company.

Go to where they are instead.

Go toward the light.

Life is much sweeter that way. ❤️

In El Salvador, we don’t do Gucci, we don’t do Louis Vuitton, we don’t do bling. What we do is Blink! As in Blink bags which double up as our grocery shopping bags. We have sats to stack, sheesh! :-D

And another lovely day at the Bitcoin Farmers Market in El Zonte where I did unstack a few of those sats using my nostr:nprofile1qqsglefmxagcu0d7nw4jdkgj9ysqrk9cst0fg44hkz9kzhu39hyt7jsh9lfqf for a gorgeous little handmade zippered pouch. Gotta keep things a-circulating hunnies. ♡

As usual, excellent questions nostr:nprofile1qy3hwumn8ghj7en9v4j8xtnwdaehgu3wvfskuep0dehhxarjdp5hxurpdehszrthwden5te0dehhxtnvdakqqgqe76msyvvump47sc59d6482q0kqjaafymwqphfrrxwzwdj55xn3qy69wl9 You’re SO GOOD at skillfully condensing numerous topics into one episode & there’s something here for absolutely everyone in all of nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqgdwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkcqpq90dy7q6yd0qudlcqt98r2zs70mzhlwwdcjnm2f55yg74dns9n85s67ctg4 s responses—bitcoin entrepreneurs, newbies, OGs... Love how he humbly builds things he wants to see in this world and, of course, The Sovereign Individual pops up again. What an absolute pleasure to get a peek into his life-journey and thinking.

It was also very meditative and therapeutic listening to you both. Your energies, accents and voices are so calm and soothing. I really wish it was longer!

Heard the sweetest orange pill story recently, all the way from Turkey:

Young Turkish guy nostr:nprofile1qythwumn8ghj7ct59ehx7um5wfmk7untwvhxxmmdqythwumn8ghj7etrd35hqum99ec82c30wfjkccteqqsdd0j4jutwejjtafrsmw8c9cptvm9hcr7ts8xxk32spj4pjh8hrvgpqnzld wakes up one morning around 2021 with a notification on his phone asking for acceptance of WhatsApp’s new terms and conditions, a permission for nosey noses to be able to access all sorts of things on his phone.

It’s early in the morning and this pisses him off. He presses ‘decline’ and is promptly locked out of his WhatsApp.

This pisses him off even more, but this time into action, and he starts researching alternatives and educating himself instead of just bitching and complaining.

This then leads him to into the world of open-sourced alternatives that actually allow for freedom of communication and privacy by default.

Soon, he is on Fediverse and that’s where he stumbles onto Nostr. He innocently gets on #Nostr just to try out some protocols. I’m sure you can guess the rest if you’re a Nostriching bitcoiner, but I’ll continue. :-D

At this point he knew a bit about cryptos. Yes, cryptos the things you buy and sell to make money. The number go up thingos. Cryptos like bitcoin. (Keep reading dear maxis, there’s something here for you.)

Looking around Nostr as a newbie, he sees all these lunatics raving and celebrating the price plummet of bitcoin.

This is a bit non-sensical to him—why would anyone be happy if the price of a crypto falls? Ideally you buy for less, sell for more, then celebrate... They cray-cray?

He asks the shiny happy orange people, “Why are you guys celebrating? What do you know that I don’t?”

And so it begins—the orange pill delivered bit by bit: The Bitcoin Standard, The Sovereign Individual, “don’t trust, verify,” “bitcoin, not crypto.”

His life changes from that point on, very suitably and symbolically, in lightning speed.

It’s been a bit over two years. He’s now interning at #Blink , has been helping organize bitcoin conferences and will be making his debut as a speaker in a #bitcoin conference later this year.

This kid is only 24 years old!

This gives me goosebumps as well as so much hope!

The new orange dawn is here, illuminating the new generation.

It will be a beautiful new era!

Taylan kardeş—you are an absolute star!

Thank for sharing your story with me.

I’m sure it’ll make everybody smile.

Yolun açık olsun! 🙏

“I'm not wired to need to take credit for things. I don't care to be recognized. And I feel like it helps me get things done because anytime you're willing to give other people the credit, they're willing to help you on things. And so, I'm able to make things happen because I'm happy to give other people the credit.”

What a rare breed of a human, no?

We started watching Mike Petersen’s podcast when we were deciding to move to El Salvador and he always came across as an unusual person who was definitely firmly outside the box and it was an absolute delight to climb into his mind via nostr:nprofile1qy3hwumn8ghj7en9v4j8xtnwdaehgu3wvfskuep0dehhxarjdp5hxurpdehszrthwden5te0dehhxtnvdakqqgqe76msyvvump47sc59d6482q0kqjaafymwqphfrrxwzwdj55xn3qy69wl9 's characteristically immaculate questions!

Watch! So many precious insights about life in El Salvador, bitcoiners, why bitcoiners fight so much, the IMF loan, being fearless and just how life unfolds and takes shape in the most unexpected ways plus SO much more. And Of course the part about how his wife and him were best friends for three years before they became a couple—Mike if I ever bump into you, expect a million more questions on that! :-D

LOVED this one CK—your questions are always so multi-dimensional and it is no surprise that Mike said that this was his favorite interview to date! What a legendary compliment!

And this is the issue—most content creators are doing this to spread the word and use of bitcoin to regular folks who are on X and YT, all to make the world a better place. Preaching to the choir of yay-sayers is always yummy and it’s great for desert, but it’s not the main dish we are all cooking for…

I would say carry on using as many platforms as possible and hang in there for as long as you can.

Grok had a mental breakdown yesterday despite not having mental faculties, the CEO of X yesterday is now the ex-CEO of X today, peer-to-peer, alternative solutions to everything are blossoming everyday and I saw a photo of Jack Dorsey with a huge smile on his face today, imagine!

What I mean to say is that the world is changing really fast and there is every single chance it will change towards the light, so carry where the eyeballs are for as long as you can, little miss ninja! 💜

Hi nostriches,

How Many Bitcoiners Are Being Silenced Right Now?

We launched All in Bitcoin this January. Since then, we’ve been shadowbanned, suspended, and throttled, especially on X and YouTube. In March, after our suspension, we started a new account. And here we are again. Shadowbanned? Looks like it.

Grok says I shouldn’t post about this, that calling out censorship might trigger more of it. Maybe it’s right. But it makes me wonder:

How many small Bitcoin accounts are being silenced in 2025 without anyone even noticing?

A few weeks ago, I spoke out about Ben Perrin ( nostr:nprofile1qyvhwue69uhkyat8d4skutndva6hjtnwv46r5dpcxsuqz9nhwden5te0vfjhgcfwdehhxarjd9kzucmpd5qzqxvfqd89dw8kqmrjfaz6zt8gfggcg93p4tm3s2slv4jrszuugfmt74rjkj ). His YouTube (9 years of work) was nearly erased for the third time. Totally unfair. Thankfully, big accounts rallied and he got it back.

But what about the smaller voices?

The ones that vanish quietly. No outrage, no reinstatement. Just gone.

nostr:nprofile1qyx8wumn8ghj7cnjvghxjmcpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqqg9enk72qxz2xt89tyzvkfnmytjrfq3ujl6p3umd4awjmlcd676uyukldzya told me in our interview: “In an ideal world, Elon Musk wouldn’t have acquired Twitter. It would’ve kept getting worse in terms of censorship, and more people would’ve moved to Nostr. But Elon did something virtuous… and that slowed Nostr’s growth.”

But is X really that free?

Everywhere I look: custodial Bitcoin, ETFs, MicroStrategy, Metaplanet, and treasury buys. But where are the posts about self-custody, freedom tech, and not selling your Bitcoin to buy more fiat? They’re buried. I know. I write them.

Nothing would make us happier than going full v4v. But would we just be preaching to the choir? Who would we really onboard to Bitcoin through NOSTR and Fountain?

So… what would you do?

But please don’t confuse silence with suppression.

Still here. Just harder to find.

I suspect the behind-the-scenes indicators and algorithms on X as well as YT get double-triggered when a new content creator is both “spreading freedom wrong-think” and gaining traction organically. Then their axe promptly falls. Their downfall will be just as organic and well-deserved as the fall of the mainstream media giants we are witnessing now.

And you MUST be doing something right for these algos to be triggered like this. This must be very demoralizing for you, yet once the dust from this unexpected kick in the gut has settled, we can see the disruptor award sitting in the background, all yours. And that’s a pretty ninja award to have! But how to carry on in a technical sense, with all these unexpected blows coming out of nowhere?

I hope someone can chime in with some suggestions.

WOW, I’ve never seen Dr. Kruse take his brutal honesty and shine it upon his personal life and open up like this, with his precious tears and all!

Deeply intimate interview where we get to know mama and papa of Jack, baby genius Jack, teen Jack, poor Jack (in an Armani suit), baseballer Jack, divorced Jack and daddy Jack. I always wondered how his mind was so brilliant, why his words were so angry yet his heart felt so soft underneath. Now I know!

This is my favorite Dr. K interview, hands down!

And I REALLY wished it was longer but now I hear there is a part 2 and I can’t freaking wait! Stellar job as usual nostr:nprofile1qy3hwumn8ghj7en9v4j8xtnwdaehgu3wvfskuep0dehhxarjdp5hxurpdehszrthwden5te0dehhxtnvdakqqgqe76msyvvump47sc59d6482q0kqjaafymwqphfrrxwzwdj55xn3qy69wl9 ! I really love how you shine a light into the inner world of these legends and we get to know them like we never did before!

The Bitcoin Farmers Market was a bit quiet yesterday BUT to me it was the BEST one EVER for two little reasons. Oh, to melt and, oh, so divinely! The purrs, the cuddles, the soft meows, the silky paws—there’s nothing like that feline high! ♡

They are up for adoption guys—two girls and two boys. Lemme know if anyone wants one or two or four and I will connect you with Charity, the chica who is kindly fostering them.

This is a song that I keep going back to, like good girls that keep going back to bad-boy on / off boyfriends in their twenties.

Taken just a few minutes ago in my zen den. There might have been dramatics the firat time this happened but over time, it's turned into me informing hubby we have another hairy legged intruder, him coming to look at it, saying, "Hey little guy!" to spidey, then saying "He found his way in, he'll find his way out," to me. Then we all carry on with our lives. G' night from El Salvador. 😄🌴

G' morning beauty! And, yes, it was so simple this time around. Maybe nostr:nprofile1qyx8wumn8ghj7cnjvghxjmcpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqqgzn9kpsmllqnsf7wh5tz3wgy4cclsftqqplv8tpayrhwgw8llunevgnmdf3 made all the difference? I think so. 💜

Pitter patter of the rainy season in El Salvador = the perfect lullaby. G' night nostr! ⭐️🌴

Yesterday: Woke up as usual and made my way to the kitchen to get some coffee going in our Italian espresso maker as sexy hubby slept on, long blond hair wild on the pillow and closed eyes making him look less like a warrior Viking and more of an angel.

After our daily coffee date and our usual dream analysis session, I headed to my herb garden and picked some fresh mint, stevia, dill and parsley as it was GIRL DATE day (YAY) with my chica CK nostr:nprofile1qy3hwumn8ghj7en9v4j8xtnwdaehgu3wvfskuep0dehhxarjdp5hxurpdehszrthwden5te0dehhxtnvdakqqgqe76msyvvump47sc59d6482q0kqjaafymwqphfrrxwzwdj55xn3qy69wl9 and those would be my “flowers” for her.

An hour later we’re in our usual spot.

CK looks like the product of a love child between Julia Roberts and Penelope Cruz. Her inside is as beautiful as her outside and I don’t know if time stands still or speeds up when we’re together but it certainly doesn’t feel like the usual tick-tocking it does any other time.

Suddenly, it was not morning but late in the afternoon and time to head home before the notorious rush hour traffic of San Salvador swallowed me in an, ‘Oh, look—Turkish kabab flavored car, yum!” kind of way.

To the delight of my circadian rhythm, I managed to bake the chicken marinating in the fridge before the sun went down (was delicious) and lay in hubby’s arms as we watched a Dr. Zack Bush interview, me wondering if it is morally wrong to have a bit of a brain-crush on said doctor.

So, if you were to ask me, “Binky, did some stranger in another country then come and smash your head with a baseball bat, sending splattery bits of organic matter flying everywhere?” I’d say, “Well, no. I was just going about my day, minding my own business.”

Just like Iran.

What I heard: “Yah bitcoin but... marriage... buy house... have babies… my girlfriend (giggle)... family… children… want...”

PROPOSE already Jack! The world needs cute little Mallersy babies spreading Mallersy ideas and doing Mallersy freedomy things! DO IT! 🏆

It’s been a heavy month for us in El Salvador. Our little bitcoin community has lost not one but two beloved members.

We were in Good Beans cafe recently restocking our coffee supply and also refueling our souls by catching up with Gabe, the proprietor. The conversation turned to the recent losses of Fiona, a yoga teacher with wonderfully grounding energy, who left this realm in a bus accident in Guatemala, and Tim, a very chilled out soul whose mere presence would make you take a nice deep breath and relax, owner of The Standard restaurant and Airbnb in Berlin (the one here), who also crossed over two weeks after her via a heart-attack.

I was telling him my thoughts of how tragic it is to lose people for the ones left behind but that perhaps the universe is being kind to the ones that are taken to the other side suddenly, without illness, without suffering… And just at that precise *second* husband pointed out the lyrics of the song that was playing: “Only the good die young,” it sang.

Gabe and David (who also works at Good Beans) also said that song hardly ever comes on although they always have the same playlists on repeat.

A sweet message and confirmation perhaps that what we deem so tragic for us here is perhaps not the case for them there? Who knows…

A few months ago we had bumped into a lovely young girl with a sizable bump in her tummy and had gotten into a convo with her and her hubby. They were in their twenties and were excitedly expecting their first baby. We were delighted as they wanted to have a natural home-birth with a doula and midwife right here in El Salvador. I had wondered how they had gotten on but hadn’t seen them again until recently. There they were with their little baby, her puffy pink cheeks as chubby as marshmallows, draped over her papa’s arm, in the sweetest, most blissful sleep.

“All went wonderfully!” they said! After about a day of labor, mama had given birth to their little angel just as nature intended, in their very own living room no less, with their midwife and doula assisting, just as planned!

Circles, cycles.

Goodbyes but also hellos...

Sweet flights dear Tim & Fiona.

So happy you made your lives and dreams look exactly the same!

So glad that we crossed paths.

May karma’s blessings continue to light your way up there. https://blossom.primal.net/011c93cb37ecb5ca98e3eac7be81ce517e5b51ed5705b841bd4bb910005d8202.mp4
