Bitcoin educators from all over the world came together under one roof to share their experiences and learn from one another.
An incredible pure signal event made possible by @npub17cy…4ml3 and @npub17f0…v8ue
Honored to share the panel with @nprofile…05us and Jordi from @nprofile…2qnh and discuss ways of making Bitcoin education sustainable.
Here’s to many more Bitcoin Educators Unconferences to come…Hopefully we can host one in New Zealand in the near future. ⚡🇳🇿

What do frontline human rights activists and Bitcoin developers have in common?
They are builders.
Good intentions are not enough to build a better future, it requires skill, commitment, and purpose.
And the Oslo Freedom Forum by @nprofile…9764 is creating the perfect conditions for all of this to flourish.
A truly incredible conference, with a huge amount of work happening behind the scenes…you can tell because everything ran extremely smoothly.
Hats off

1 workshop.
2 hours.
5 new sovereign individuals.
5 new people have now absolute control over a form of money that cannot be confiscated or devalued by anyone.
10 years ago you needed to be very smart to understand #Bitcoin... Today, you only need to pay attention to what Bitcoin has achieved and what it enables.
Big thanks to the passionate Bitcoiners from @nprofile…f6nt and Criterion Law Firm for helping make Bitcoin education simple and accessible.

A panel where New Zealand’s main political parties discussed the future of energy in NZ.
They talked about LNG, gentailers, EVs, subsidies and few more things.
I know we’re still early, but when will at least ONE of them mention the proven benefits of Bitcoin mining when it comes to balancing the grid and making use of renewable and stranded energy?

In January 2009 @halfin was running Bitcoin...We are proud to announce that in 2026 we will be driving Bitcoin (literally) across New Zealand.
We’re launching Oceania’s first Bitcoineta, a mobile grassroots mission to bring Bitcoin education to every corner of the country.
We will drive to remote villages, dense cities, and forgotten roads with a single purpose: to share the tools of self-sovereignty, to explain what money is, and to reveal how Bitcoin restores individual freedom in an age of surveillance and control.
If you feel like contributing to this project, we have created a
@nprofile…n2y8 Fund. Any support will allow us to travel further and help more people become sovereign, as we will be teaching the fundamental importance of self-custody and giving away sats so they can start their Bitcoin Journey.
To ensure this project remains sustainable, there will be sponsor opportunities for Bitcoin related projects that want their brand seen across New Zealand. Sponsorships will be considered carefully with priority given to open-source initiatives.
The Bitcoineta NZ
This project will be implemented by Bitcoin Journey but was inspired by
@nprofile…c7kd and Bitcoin4Humanity. It will be based in the @nprofile…g6uc
It all starts with education. Let’s build a more sovereign Aotearoa together.

It is easy to call Bitcoin a Ponzi.
The hard part is explaining how it works.
People claiming it has no value, most likely fail to explain in simple terms:
Halving
Difficulty adjustment
Private key
BIP 39
SHA-256
Proof of Work
Bitcoin is an incredibly sophisticated and balanced system, the kind that only a very bright mind (or group of them) could create.
I have yet to meet someone who understands difficulty adjustment and is not optimistic about #Bitcoin.

The POW LAB is the headquarters of @nprofile…9r2p
A place where we not only host Bitcoin workshops for the local community, but also welcome Bitcoiners and open-source builders from all over the world, offering them a desk to work on freedom technologies.
This space is only possible thanks to the generosity and collaboration among Bitcoiners. And because of that, we couldnt miss the opportunity to bring in some of the outstanding work created by the people we met in El Salvador during @PlanBElsalvador :
• The beautiful original painting by @LewickiBartosz portraying the unstoppable honey badger against the fiat system
• Bitcoin Circular Economies: documenting grassroots Bitcoin adoption and how it empowers communities and individuals around the world by @ivan_kaleja, @GabrielKurman, @b4_humanity
• Bitcoin Prophecy: What Argentina Can Teach You About Your Money by @arielaguilar
• Bitcoin Para Negocios: a practical guide for merchants, created by @Evelynlemus2906 and implemented in @BitcoinBerlinSV
(especially relevant given the strong Latin American community in QT)
All of these are now part of the community library, available for anyone to read and admire.
If you’re coming to Queenstown, make sure to come and check out the amazing POW LAB! A fantastic place to connect and build. (https://powlab.nz/)

What to believe and who to trust when everything we see on a screen can be faked?
You verify.
That’s why we travelled across El Salvador for two weeks, the first country in history to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender.
What we witnessed gave us tremendous hope.
A country that only a few years ago had one of the highest crime rates in the world is now safe for locals and visitors alike.
We spoke with many locals who lived through the change.
Every single one told us the same thing: life is much better now.
Many thanked Bukele for it.
We saw Bitcoin being accepted across the country, from large venues to small market stalls, made possible by the efforts of passionate and dedicated Bitcoiners.
We are so glad we timed our visit with the incredible Plan B Forum because it allowed us to meet innovators we admire, connect with amazing Bitcoiners from around the world and visit circular economies.
Satoshi realigned the incentives for a better future.
El Salvador followed and is already reaping the rewards.
Seeing it with your own eyes changes everything.
The rails of a new financial system are being built right now, one that doesn’t discriminate and gives anyone the ability to save and plan for the future.
You can watch from the sidelines…or you can become part of one of the greatest peaceful revolutions in human history.
We are more motivated than ever to do our part: helping build @npub1uht…fp46 circular economy in Queenstown and spreading #Bitcoin education across all New Zealand.

We just witnessed in real time how Open Claw can:
• Make phone calls on your behalf, using your voice.
• Build a webpage in minutes.
• Create its own Bitcoin wallet and send/receive sats.
From here, there are only two options:
An exciting path, if we pay attention and adapt.
An unsettling path, if we decide to ignore whats happening.
We all have a choice to make.
Thank you, Sean and @nprofile…hh7h , for an outstanding presentation at Pow Lab Queenstown.

“The outcome of World Bank and the IMF policies on the Third World has been remarkably similar to what was experienced under traditional imperialism: wage deflation, a loss of autonomy, and agricultural dependency. The big difference is that, in the new system, the sword and the gun have been replaced by weaponized debt.”
After reading “Hidden Repression: How the IMF and World Bank Sell Exploitation as Development” by @nprofile…v7g4 , you realize that some international organizations, while pretending to be a helping hand, may actually be the boot that prevents developing countries from standing up and thriving.
Many real cases are documented in the book, but one thing in particular stands out and should undeniably raise a red flag (or at least an eyebrow): the billions of dollars loaned by these institutions to authoritarian regimes all over the world.
It is hard enough to hold democratically elected officials accountable, imagine dictators who care only about power and violence.
What do you think they will do when borrowing money they do not have to repay themselves? As always, the ones who pay the price are the most vulnerable.
I started reading this book in El Salvador while visiting blossoming Bitcoin circular economies such as Bitcoin Beach and @nprofile…x40a . Witnessing them firsthand is powerful, they are living proof that Bitcoin realigns incentives and, in doing so, helps prevent this kind of abuse from taking place.
That is one of the many reasons why Bitcoin is hope.

•Airport transfers
•Vehicle rentals
•Tours to circular economies such as El Zonte, Berlin, Santa Ana and more, where you can see firsthand how Bitcoin is reshaping communities.
Being able to pay for everything with #bitcoin is not even the best part, having a friendly, professional, and reliable local is.
We will definitely get in touch again when we return to El Salvador.

From New Zealand to El Salvador.
Thousands of kilometres, multiple security checks and border crossings… but always in full control.
No third party can stop you from accessing your money.
No one can devalue it.
You can transact with anyone.
It’s a new era, but most people are completely unaware. Thats why education is key.
Use hardware wallets to keep your #Bitcoin private keys offline and increase your security. The Bluetooth feature on the Jade by @nprofile…7kcr is pretty handy when travelling.
Thank you #planbelsalvador for an epic conference. We are definitely coming back next year.

As if there werent already enough reasons to visit the #Bitcoin Country, #Bitcoinbeach and the beautiful beach of El Zonte…
Plus, with a little bit of luck, you might even randomly cross paths with fellow Bitcoiners like @nprofile…20wr , probably gathering material for more great content.

Hands down, one of the best talks at Plan B El Salvador.
This is what #Bitcoin is all about: social transformation by putting the tools in the hands of the people who need them most.
Leveling the playing field and giving everyone the opportunity to save and improve their future.
It started in El Zonte, and now circular economies are sprouting all over the world, the most recent circular economies to be featured in future editions include many African countries, Peru, and beyond.
Make sure to read this fantastic book by Gabriel Kurman, Ivan Kaleja and Bitcoin For Humanity, all proceeds are donated to circular economies and educational projects.

The change is internal, but the seed of that change is planted when we are exposed to these powerful ideas (and our first sats).
Bitcoin adoption at this stage is inevitable, the self-fulfilling prophecy Satoshi talked about…. But how long will mass adoption take?
We need to normalise Bitcoin and make it as easy to understand as possible, so the average person realises they are spending most of their time in a system that works against them, designed to drain their time and energy.
Each one of us holds the key to our own freedom, but we also need to help as much as we can, just like Andreas A., @nprofile…tccq , @nprofile…gsal , yourself, and many others paved the way for us.
Thanks @nprofile…jnua. Here’s to real conversations on Nostr and real human connections through visiting, supporting, and engaging with circular economies and their local communities.

We are witnessing Bitcoin Circular Economies spawning and flourishing organically all around the world.
The book “Bitcoin Circular Economies: Stories of Hope Built on the Sovereign Money of the Future” by Gabriel Kurman and Ivan Kaleja does a great job compiling the origins, visions, initial obstacles, and unique characteristics of the first BCEs:
Bitcoin Beach
@npub1tw4…6nwr
@nprofile…yf4c
@nprofile…cux4
@nprofile…usgw
The Plan B Conference El Salvador and @nprofile…aus4 are just a few days away and we cant wait to visit the local circular economies and learn firsthand from the OGs, so we can continue growing what could possibly be the most southern circular economy in the world: The Bitcoin Basin, in Queenstown, New Zealand @nprofile…pa3a
We are still early, but there is no doubt that these are the foundations of a better future.

The Iranian currency has plummeted overnight… and people say Bitcoin is too risky.
This is why #BItcoin exists, this is why Bitcoin will prevail.

We wrapped up 2025 by hosting a free Bitcoin workshop for the farming community in Invercargill.
Huge thanks to @nprofile…ufkr initiative and @nprofile…a3pg for organizing it!
At Bitcoin Journey we are committed to empowering individuals through simple and accessible Bitcoin education throughout 2026…. Many more workshops to come!
Onwards! 🚀

At Bitcoin Journey, we make learning simple, engaging, and fun.
#Bitcoin is undoubtedly one of the most exciting topics of our time, and we want everyone to have the chance to understand what this technology is truly about.
That’s why throughout all of 2026, we’ll be hosting free Bitcoin workshops for the local community.
This initiative wouldn’t be possible without the incredible support of Criterion Law, one of Queenstown’s top technology and corporate law firms.
Huge thanks to Gypsy Oven and Biga Pizza, two outstanding Bitcoin merchants that catered our latest workshop at the Mountain Club and kept everyone happy and well fed.
Those 2 pizzas tasted like 10,000 BTC. 🍕⚡️
We are very excited for what’s coming in 2026, this is just the beginning.

One word got stuck in my head after listening to this outstanding episode: Unstoppable.
@nprofile…duvf referred to the @nprofile…32hm program designed to teach activists how to use Bitcoin in their fight against authoritarian regimes.
But the truth is, anyone who self-custodies #Bitcoin, no matter the amount, becomes unstoppable.
You become unstoppable because you realize that no government or third party will ever be able to debase or confiscate your money.
Anyone who manages to create value will be able to store it safely.
We are still early because most people perceive Bitcoin as risky, when it’s actually the most secure form of money ever created.
Learn Bitcoin, become unstoppable.

How do you achieve Independence? By creating value and storing it in the ultimate freedom technology.

Another Bitcoin workshop in the books! This one was specifically designed for merchants who have recently decided to accept Bitcoin as a form of payment.
Bitcoin can seem complex but at Bitcoin Journey out goal is to make
it as simple as possible, showing in real time how the technology works and the many possibilities it opens up.
This free educational workshop for the local community was made possible thanks to the fantastic Bitcoin Basin ( @nprofile…ff52 ) initiative, which is powered by @npub1elt…mk2v , the best Bitcoin-only exchange in New Zealand.
Onwards and upwards! ⚡️

Short appreciation post for two projects that, combined, have become in my experience one of the most effective orange pilling tools: @nprofile…38v5 + @nprofile…8qzu .
I think it is currently very underrated how incredibly easy it is to send and receive sats through WOS. No KYC, no delays, no fees... just download and you’re good to go.
I have hosted over 50 #Bitcoin workshops and I’ve never had a single error or issue.
More than 105 people have started their Bitcoin Journey by experiencing firsthand how seamless it is to receive the soundest money ever created. ⚡
The impact multiplies when attendants visualize on BTC Map all the colorful circles that represent the thousands of merchants that already accept #Bitcoin as payment worldwide.
It is at that moment that #Bitcoin mutates from a complex theoretical abstraction to a tangible and usable technology.
Huge thanks to the plebs behind @nprofile…38v5 and @nprofile…8qzu for making orange pilling easier every day.

If you are an English speaker and into #Bitcoin dont miss this great episode with Lunaticoin and Paul Rosenberg, an original cypherpunk, talking about what it was like during the cypherpunk days, Silk Road, privacy, defense, and much more.
While listening to the episode I realized that in the not too distant future every government will have a choice to make: either they tax, or they create money out of thin air, but they wont be able to do both for much longer…and its all thanks to #Bitcoin

Join us tomorrow, August 21st, at 5:00 PM NZST for our monthly meetup in Queenstown!
This month we’re gathering at Bardeaux Bar, which recently became a Bitcoin merchant thanks to the fantastic work of The Bitcoin Basin.
We will show our support by spending the soundest money ever created!
We’ll also demo the @nprofile…7kcr wallet, showing to newcomers how to set up a wallet and receive instant sats as part of the Blockstream Local initiative.
See you there plebs!

It is only through education that we can make truly informed decisions.
I’m honored to be collaborating with the Bitcoin Basin and LightningPay to bring free Bitcoin education to the community.
If you are in Queenstown, don’t miss this opportunity to learn about Bitcoin in a simple, direct way. No recordings, just real people sharing what we know and why it could be valuable for your future.
At Bitcoin Journey, we continue our mission to onboard as many people as possible into this fascinating technology through education and self-custody.

Oppression seems normal… until an alternative emerges.
Having your money (which is your time and energy) devalued by unpredictable and ever-changing government measures is, quite simply, oppression.
That’s why #bitcoin is nothing short of a peaceful revolution: a system where individuals voluntarily join a network built on transparency and fixed rules. A stable, open technology that offers solid foundations on which anyone can build with confidence.
It’s a system that welcomes everyone, doesn’t discriminate, and never forces you to stay. You’re free to come and go as you please.
But the truth is, once you discover this alternative, why would you go back to an oppressive system?

Hey Plebs!
At Bitcoin Journey we want to make Bitcoin education simple, easy and accessible to everyone… because lets be honest, not everyone is going to read The Bitcoin Standard or Broken Money by Lyn (they absolutely should…but they wont)
Thats why we want to host FREE in-person and online workshops where in only 2 hours people will learn what Bitcoin is really about.
As of July 2025 we have hosted 18 workshops, with over 82 attendees and 19 of them have become sovereign individuals through Self Custody.
Any support will allow us to reach more people and change their lives for better thanks to Bitcoin Education.
Thank you,

In 1928, Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin, giving humanity a tool to protect our bodies from deadly bacteria.
In 2009, Satoshi Nakamoto introduced #Bitcoin, giving us a tool to protect our wealth from inflation.
Penicillin fights harmful bacteria that can make you sick.
#Bitcoin fights inflation that silently destroys your savings.
No one forced humanity to take penicillin, and no one will or should force you to use Bitcoin... However, it’s in your own interest to learn how to protect yourself.

Asking if they accept Bitcoin before paying anywhere has a huge impact on
