It’s the smiling one. The one that calls surveillance and control ‘protection.’ Everything unfolding today was described in advance. Not by politicians, but by the Cypherpunks. It was all written in the Cypherpunk Manifesto. This is exactly how it was supposed to go. So I educate myself. I take initiative. I go peer-to-peer.

Me and Rikki started “Bitcoin Explorers“ in El Salvador in 2021, then kept moving: Central America, Asia, the Middle East, Europe, Africa. And I’m not saying this to flex. I’m saying it because the timeline is the timeline. The content exist. The story speaks for itself. Now. El Salvador was an engagement cheat code (and everyone knows it). The uncomfortable truth: when we posted El Salvador content, everything grew faster. Like… four times as fast. My tweets got reposted by Bukele. I got 4000 followers in a day for this picture you see here. Our videos about El Salvador hit 10k views while being shot like amateurs (because we were amateurs). We weren’t filmmakers. We weren’t a production studio. We were just there, documenting what we were seeing with the tools we had in the most honest possible way. If we wanted, we could’ve turned that into a visibility machine. We didn’t. Because we didn’t want the easy path. We didn’t want to go where everyone goes just because it performs. We didn’t want to become a tourism brochure for an algorithm or even worse, a government. And eventually we had to admit something most people won’t say out loud: realistic reportage takes time, money, and resources. We didn’t have enough of them to keep doing it the way we wanted...properly. So we stepped back. I found other jobs I'm super happy with and my voice remained independent. Now let me ask you something. genuinely. Why do you think so many Bitcoin creators focus on El Salvador? Why do you think so many creators post about it like it’s the only place on Earth where Bitcoin exists? Because it’s simple: - Post a beach breakfast and you get quadruple the reposts of a normal post. - Post a critique? You risk getting dogpiled, losing followers, losing access, losing 'opportunities. That’s the part people don’t post. And yes: there are people in the space who will make it personal, who will lean on social pressure, who will remind you that stepping out of line has a cost. I’ve seen and heard enough to know the incentives are real even if nobody wants to say it clearly. The saddest part is who ends up paying for this illusion: not the insiders. Not the people doing the reposting. Not people who threaten you over tweets. It’s the people at home: - liking - retweeting - booking flights - buying tickets - chasing a “ Bitcoin paradise” that mostly exists in social media posts apart from a few exceptions and small communities A lot of content creators aren’t documenting reality. They’re documenting what the algorithm and their paycheck rewards. And at that point… what’s the difference between them and the journalists they love to hate? Same dynamic: - follow the narrative - repeat what powerful people want amplified - avoid the messy parts - monetize the attention Different ecosystem. Same playbook. We didn’t want to be that. We could’ve milked it. We didn’t. Not because we’re morally superior, spare me that story. Because it didn’t fit who we are, and it didn’t fit what we wanted to build long-term. If I’m going to talk about Bitcoin “in the world,” I want it to be real: - not just the pretty parts - not just the safe parts - not just the parts that get you reposted by the right accounts Reality is complicated. Adoption is uneven. People are people. Politics are politics. Incentives are incentives. And if your content never shows the trade-offs, the friction, the contradictions… then you’re not educating anyone. You’re doing marketing. ❤️ If you’re new here, read this twice: Bitcoin doesn’t need fairy tales. It needs adults. It needs people who can handle nuance without turning it into a loyalty test. So next time you see a creator post a perfect “Bitcoin country” shot, ask yourself: - What are they not showing? - What can’t they say without losing access? - What gets rewarded here. and what gets punished? The algorithm isn’t truth. It’s the incentive map. And most creators are just following it like obedient little tourists. https://blossom.primal.net/9bfec2dfbb44b729a0b4c12e1511edd613bda4fd3ed7085ae574a92bcff62a3e.jpg npub1qy2tkywa36ufh76qv62snv4953eayufxufav4evz2le06lxe2amqpxavna laura I 'm not sure who needs to hear this, but you're early in Bitcoin and you’re doing great npub1qy2tkywa36ufh76qv62snv4953eayufxufav4evz2le06lxe2amqpxavna laura This and money that can’t be frozen https://blossom.primal.net/a35e152bd565b4128989f57d9e889072e7de16860c3508040cd4314ba61957f5.jpg npub1qy2tkywa36ufh76qv62snv4953eayufxufav4evz2le06lxe2amqpxavna laura When they write ‘Delicious’ plums 😭😭😭❤️ https://blossom.primal.net/37efc545dea7d51c4a372ce95b163e3386a40fc4e5641eee913eddaaf6c517dc.jpg npub1qy2tkywa36ufh76qv62snv4953eayufxufav4evz2le06lxe2amqpxavna laura What if the problem isn’t Bitcoin… but that some people were deliberately left out?

I’m waiting for the subway. Unusual for me on a Sunday morning. I look around:people dressed for hiking, work, brunch, a day trip. Everyone different, all going somewhere. And I think: statistically, someone here has probably committed a crime. So what should the subway do? Refuse to start? Close the doors and say: ‘Sorry, you can’t get on’? Sounds ridiculous, right? The subway’s job is to take people from A to B. It doesn’t judge, it doesn’t ask questions. it just takes you there. It’s neutral. It’s infrastructure. And that’s exactly how money should work too. A payment system should move value, not judge the person moving it. But lately, those who control access to money are also deciding who deserves to use it. You said the wrong thing? account blocked. You made an uncomfortable choice? access denied. In the physical world, it sounds absurd to imagine a subway deciding who can board. In the digital world, we accept it without a fight. And the worst part? People who rely on these shortcuts are avoiding the real work. investigating, enforcing justice, solving real crimes. It’s easier to freeze a card ‘for security reasons’ than to go after political corruption. Of course, those who commit crimes should be stopped by the state, through investigations, through law, through process. But we can’t ask infrastructure to pick the “good” and the “bad.” Once it starts doing that, it’s no longer safety. it’s control. And control never ends well. It’s like if a train stopped working because the driver didn’t like where you were going. Or because you once posted a tweet he disagreed with. Every time we ask for more control, more sanctions, more rules, we’re wishing (even without realizing it) for a world where a train stops because you posted a joke on Instagram. And with things like Chat Control or the digital euro, it’ll only get worse: a system even more ‘efficient’ at judging, punishing, and deciding who’s allowed to move and who isn’t. It sounds extreme, but maybe it should be our daily concern. Because if we hate injustice today, imagine not being able to have a bank account tomorrow because of one. https://blossom.primal.net/a8e0429848af692b1f3cab9aaa1b7686dfc9624b13ab828d415888244c44b9ce.jpg npub1qy2tkywa36ufh76qv62snv4953eayufxufav4evz2le06lxe2amqpxavna laura I don’t go to the gym to become a supermodel.
