A man who travelled to 42 countries was asked to then go as far as he could travel. He found the farthest journey was the one within himself.
Two years ago, Run with Bitcoin (nprofile…4j4w) finished his 42nd country and disappeared.
The road that had carried him across the world finally ran out. An ankle injury ended the running. The conference circuit blurred into late nights and lost purpose. A wake-up call at BTC Prague in 2024 sent him to a small room in the Himalayas, where he traded the map for a notebook and started the hardest journey of his life – the one inward.
In this episode of Plebchain Radio (nprofile…5d6h), Paco returns to talk about the years off the grid, the slow education in patience, the long and humbling road to becoming a writer, and the book that emerged on the other side. We also get into the blossoming of the Indian Bitcoin community while he was watching from the mountains.
His Geyser campaign for the book ends Friday May 9th. Six and a half million sats to go.
