Can confirm CR prices on par or higher compared to the US. Not a budget travel destination for sure.
I wouldn’t say higher than US, definitely CR is cheaper than Seattle/other major cities. But it’s by far the most expensive place to travel in LATAM
9/11 was the event that woke me up and accelerated my journey to find bitcoin. I remember arguing passionately that there’s no way it was an inside job. “The government wouldn’t do that,” “too many people would need to be involved” etc.
Eventually I did the research and came to my own conclusion. The shorts on American/United Airlines, the missing footage and plane wreckage at the Pentagon, the $2.3T reported missing the day before… not to mention WTC7, which went from a 47 story building to a 40 foot tall pile of rubble in under 7 seconds at the rate of free fall…
These unanswerable questions changed how I look at the world. By the time the scamdemic came in 2020 I didn’t believe it for a second. I’d seen the fear/crisis playbook before and I didn’t fall for it. I was never fearful of the “virus” and while others people’s brains broke and lives were destroyed from the jab, I kept building. Kept leveling up.
That’s the power of critical thinking. I’d probably be a no coiner sheep if it weren’t for the outrageous false flag and obvious propaganda that was pushed on me since I was a kid.
Whatever comes next I have a feeling it will test even the strongest minds. We cannot let the evil people win. This is why I bitcoin and why I Nostr.
Yeah Costa Rica definitely more expensive than Bulgaria. Maybe El Salvador is slightly cheaper in certain places but not by much. And the infrastructure here in Bulgaria is so much better. Bullish on Bulgaria
Yeah not sure if you got my point. The “experts” tend to not know shit.
Heard* a story, man I gotta slow down on these Nostr posts 🤣
Every time I’ve a story about lost coins from bitcoins early days the result is the same. Coins gone forever.
But this one is different. Josh was in a bad place in his life and remembered he had put bitcoin on a hard drive in 2010. He found a trustworthy consultant at Porcfest, recovered the bitcoin and is now rebuilding his life and working out of Strategy Hub.
Very cool story check it out on YouTube or podcast players👌
Nostr can’t scale sounds to me like “lightning can’t scale”
I'm incredibly excited to finally share something that's been in the works for months:
As some of you know, I've been working on a new show called Finding Home. The idea was to create the show I wanted to watch: a Bourdain-style exploration of food and travel, but through the eyes of Bitcoiners.
It draws a parallel between the immigrant's search for a physical home and the bitcoiner's search for a sovereign one. The pilot, directed by the brilliant nostr:nprofile1qqspe0vmhu7gct8vzp6wksuf8ry4j32jfxcqepjqdyzfs89f2j5j7csv0nqwc features the story of Shakib Farrah nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqgdwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkcqpqwvc8u63ek6mvuykz9jcw5eqquxvheetxms4ph2p43wwgensh06mqqxcpje , a fellow pleb who runs an amazing Somali restaurant, Safari, in Harlem.
Here's the trailer.
The full episode drops Friday on IndeeHub. This is a 100% self-funded project so far, so it'll be on lightning enabled PPV to help me make the next one.

Epic. It was a great time filming with you in Prague.
Sending good vibes your way man.
Onward! The worst thing you can do is let yourself stagnate. Easier said than done but thanks for the reminder
Yeah genuinely had such a great time. It’s an amazing place with so much to see and do. I wasn’t nearly as bullish after a short stay in Sofia last year but after getting off the beaten path and seeing more of the country I will absolutely be back just to vacation and work remote. WiFi is great, people are friendly, weather is great (a little hot at times) but tons of history and the costs are significantly lower than Western Europe or Costa Rica / other bitcoin hubs in latam

nostr:npub1849ntz6s6gxrunv9tunnlurvfx7xk0mwvtzz4m2y7fu8gt7408dqsl0qen is the most bullish on Nostr of any streamer I know
Congrats on meeting Satoshi! 😏
Truly magical, who needs sleep when you can ground and watch the sunrise, stretch out and run a bit
It’s not every day I get the chance to watch the sun rise over the Black Sea.
Last full day in Bulgaria 🇧🇬
Weather is a powerful weapon. It’s used quite often and most people blame cow farts… clown world
😂 same reason why there’s still people wearing Covid masks
Idk how anyone remembers who they meet at bitcoin conferences when nobody uses a real profile picture.
I get the privacy thing but it comes with significant trade offs. IMO it’s a risk I’ll take and if you come mess with me I have a loaded AR-15 in my house at all times and carry a concealed pistol everywhere I go. Good luck.
Very well put. Bitcoin leads us back to our natural state
Nostr is also just getting started so there’s still tons of room for it to grow and so many use cases that haven’t been fully fleshed out. But yes X is becoming Instagram with all the ads and noise. Looking forward to reading some your work.
Last day in Plovdiv! Great insights from author and podcaster Ivan Ivanoff. We talked about his journey to understand why bitcoin is fundamentally different than crypto, the importance of self custody, why fiat is a game with broken rules and what he’s learned making over 800 videos.
Spent the day learning about regenerative farming and off-grid solar powered bitcoin mining.
Day 8 was another good one!
We are building on bitcoin ✌️
If not you, who?
If not now, when?
GN from Prague.
JD Vance knows it’s bitcoin not crypto. Too bad he has to raise money for a 2028 presidential campaign 😬
I think I’l take the next exit
Does bitcoin need to be a medium of exchange to maintain long-term store of value?
