The road to bitcoin is long and winding 🚘

We met so many wonderful bitcoiners from Berlin and all over the world. One evening, we all piled into a few cars and drove south of town to a place called Paradise Pineda. Our $2 per person entry fee was definitely worth the views and the photo opportunities, in spite of the fact it was cash only. I really try not to post peoples' faces on Nostr as I cannot "take it back" if someone isn't cool with it. So it limits the photos that I can include.

Fun at sunset!

Overall I really enjoyed our few days in Berlin and would love to go back. The circular economy is taking root here. I have never been anywhere like it. I am hoping I didn't make a mistake by not planning to stay here longer.

There seems to be a lot of development happening here. Several new high rise condos seem to be in the works.

I just got a pocket full of hope.

Being in terrible situations sucks. No one wants to touch or engage with you. Like a bum on the sidewalk.

The good thing about AI saturating the internet, is that it will force people to never believe anything they see on the internet. Therefore any political content, sources of outrage, distractions, interference, etc cannot be believed. It will force us back into our immediate surroundings, as the only source of true reality, which is how people lived for thousands of years before the internet existed.

Comparison of Executive Orders Signed by Donald Trump and Other Recent Presidents

Donald Trump (2017–2021):

Donald Trump signed a total of 220 executive orders during his single term as president

. This averages to about 55 executive orders per year.

Barack Obama (2009–2017):

Barack Obama signed 277 executive orders over his two terms, averaging approximately 35 executive orders per year

George W. Bush (2001–2009):

George W. Bush issued 291 executive orders during his two terms, averaging about 36 executive orders per year

Bill Clinton (1993–2001):

Bill Clinton signed 364 executive orders over his two terms, averaging around 45 executive orders per year

Joe Biden (2021–2025):

As of February 2025, Joe Biden has signed 160 executive orders during his single term, which is fewer than Trump and other recent presidents

Donald Trump has signed 26 executive orders on January 20, 2025, the first day of his second term, far and away more than any US President, ever, with dozens following over the past few weeks.

In November, the people demonstrated that they don’t care what laws he breaks. When they had power in the last four years, the law and democrats in power also demonstrated they don’t care what law he breaks.

It’s over, we’ve slid most of the way from a corporate oligarchy to a soft monarchy. Adjust your life accordingly and let’s hope bitcoin can buffer people from the worst aspects of the new situation 🤙

Trump is doing his damndest to exponentially increase the power of the executive and convince his supporters (and many bitcoiners) to cheer him on.

Many things he wants to do are with Congress, but he and musk barrel forward illegally anyway even though he has majorities in Congress. Why?

This will backfire. The executive has gotten too strong, it doesn’t matter which party, too much power is concentrated in it. No bitcoiner should cheer this on. It will go against freedom, privacy, and cause an increase in federal gov power in the hands of the executive as King
