Fiat money is a story you’re forced to believe.
Bitcoin is work you can voluntarily verify yourself.
Pick a side.

Bitcoin “critics” generally come up with different ways its system could (possibly / maybe) be corrupted, while not understanding the current paradigm they are operating in IS already, provably, deeply corrupted.
Unaware of their nihilism, they ignore what could be their exit.

The idea came from a simple frustration: many consciousness, spiritual, and meaning content is scattered across lots of media.
There's no place that brings these lessons together in a daily practice.
So I built one and it feels surreal to see it live!

The Japanese term for buying books and letting them pile up without reading them is tsundoku (積ん読).
What is the email equivalent of that?
I send emails to myself with links I want to read later but currently plowing through 100 of them (some I haven't read in 3 months) 🫠

2026-03-24 18:35:49 CET

At first glance, the pairing of psychedelics and Bitcoin might seem unconventional. Weird even.
But with a deeper inquiry into both these rabbit holes, the parallels became impossible to ignore.
Both are egoless technologies of Truth. But to access that Truth, both require radical self-responsibility in an age where it’s normal to outsource our thinking to the media and our money to banks.
Both are humbling reminders that the deeper we go, the more we realize the less we know. And thus invites a lifelong journey of learning with an open heart.
Together with 2 amazing co-organizers, I’m organizing a new gathering called Going Beyond Bitcoin, and it stands apart from anything I’ve seen in the Bitcoin or psychedelic worlds.
It’s designed for Bitcoiners who already understand the protocol and want to explore what it means to live its principles beyond price action.
A curated group committed to integrating Bitcoin's ethos into how they live, lead, and relate in their relationships, health, and inner world.
August 9 - 13 2026. 5 days, 4 nights.
30 of us. 5 more spots available.
Learn more and apply: https://goingbeyondbitcoin.com
P.S. Their next info call is on April 14th if you'd like to learn more and meet the co-hosts first to get a feel.

Every major wisdom tradition in human history has identified the same prerequisite for spiritual awakening: unoccupied time for inner contemplation.
The modern fiat monetary system, through inflation, debt, and wage stagnation, has structurally eliminated this prerequisite for the vast majority of people.

2026-03-04 11:34:40 CET

Bitcoin is indeed liquidity extraction...from assets you can never truly own, have counterparty risk on verification, storage, and transport, to something you can truly own, verify yourself, and move without permission.
Above all it is the hardest money to ever exist, and it frees you from the control of people NO BETTER THAN YOU.
