My two sats... While that miiiiiiight work, it might also be more "risk" than the average vendor on the beach is ready for. My personal preference, I like to ask and if they say no, say "No ¿todavía?" Which basically says (without saying directly) that they should probably reconsider.
And then as a personal form of outreach, because I'm actually trying to help that person welcome Bitcoin energy into their lives, I'll offer to pass them a few mil (1000 colones or $2) in says as a tip. It's a lovely interaction.

Grown men get teary with gratitude. 🥹
And I know that the next time someone asks, they'll happily say yes.

If I get to where I'm really headed, this will be That Chapter When I (We) Ran Away With the Circus.
AKA, #LIVINGonTheBTCStandard
Courtesy of the work of GIANTS BitcoinJungle (nprofile…wwgl)
and BullBitcoin (nprofile…qgp0) it is ACTUALLY 💯 PERCENT POSSIBLE to live on the #bitcoinstandard here in Costa Rica.

I've even FINALLY made an EFFing website www.amigadeconfianza.com (to tell you all about it)... and built a not-so-private wallet over there on Wallet of Satoshi (nprofile…2xse) (notoriousdrc@walletofsatoshi.com) The Angels tell me that it can accept up to FIVE WHOLE BTC, which I would looove to test. 🤪

****
I'm getting ready to teach the #miprimerbitcoin #diplomado for the first time. Twice. In English. And in Spanish. January 5 start date. Wallets (uses and types) will definitely be covered and we'll be adding some days to talk about entrepreneurship and accepting Bitcoin payments for businesses. This is about to get fun.

Get yer @$$ to Puerto Viejo (come spend your sats here) to help set up an alternate economy FROM THE GROUND UP. 🔥🌱

(Or just stay home and sponsor the project. If that's the case, you can always buy me a coffee here on #primal.)
****

I've already accomplished the most impossible of all the tasks on my timeline:
Got my #tico to quit his job at the #fiatmine. He's here. Bitcoin made this possible. ✅

I realized some things this week, when I let go of time and waited for Gato to be ready--
I'm ready to live S-L-O-O-O-O-O-O-W-W-L-Y again like pre-blockchain. I think it might actually be possible to convert entire communities up there in coffee country. These people are wired for #slowtimepreference.
Así es la vara. 🦥

#hola to the fam.
I'm beginning to relax into this... Caribbean side is like that.

...Which makes me want to mark something on the Blockchain:

And so... I think it's time for the next level, frenz.
Let's talk normalize Block time.
I'll start a separate thread over there on #OPA the Bitcoin-Only Social Layer)

Omg. Gold isn't collapsing. 🫣
The race (IMO) is to see whether they enforce first a gold standard or a Bitcoin standard to save us all. I can't imagine those old bastards at Davos wrapping their brains around Bitcoin first and --until the revolution-- they're lamentably still calling the shots.

Gold is what stops me from being a Maxi. (Well, that and that one sh*tcoin that we won't talk about here.) But old world money always runs to gold in times of fear... I don't believe that Bitcoin is for everyone, as good as that would be. I believe that Bitcoin is the escape hatch and that I'm really f*cking lucky to have figured it out early. I got completely OUT of fiat before it fell to $100k a coin. 💥🧡🔥

_________________________

I'm proud of my grown kids (25 & 26). And all their "misfit" friends. In observing them recently, I realized that we DEFINITELY broke it all. It's not our fault, our baby boomer moms had to work (I was a "latchkey kid" at 8 and had to take care of my little sister after school). So WE worked... because we always imagined that's what mommies do. So that's TWO GENERATIONS of kids who were feral AF (me) or raised by strangers (my kids). Of course they hate their parents and any adult who dismisses them. BUT if you're lucky enough to gain their confidence, the reward is IMMENSE. They are waaaay fucking smart AND very wise-- they understood that this was all broken a loooooong time ago. That's why they look disinterested --it's a defense.

But I also believe THEY'RE going to make it right. Either they'll be super-queer (and thus NEVER EVER have babies) or super-certain that they want to be at-home mommies.
Either suits me fine.

In both cases, I'm confident they won't be sheeps. They're too wise for that.

Someone I just met on #opa.
I can't decide which makes a bigger impression: the art or the words... 🧡

quoting
nevent1q…xlaz
The painting "Unbroken Jane" ("Unbroken Chain") invites the audience to explore the concept that very living being is part of an unbroken chain of events, forming a continuous sequence that traces directly back to the origin of life.

The artwork serves as a mataphor for the Bitcoin blockchain, where each transaction and block form an unbroken chain of verifyable events, tracing back to the Genesis block, just as every life event connects in an unbroken sequences to the origin of life.

It also serves as a metaphor for the importance of owning a personal Bitcoin private key-a voluntary leap into the rabbit hole that one can choose to embrace with an unbroken mind and an awareness of the moment they live in or disregard, breaking the continuity of understanding.

The position of cosmic infinity and personal choice creates a thought-provoking narrative about connection,awareness and the potential for taking part in the ever-growing chain of truth and self-sovereignty.

I live in Latin America where it's realllllly shockingly normal that you're called out by your most obvious features: El Gordito, el Flaquillo, la Negrita.
Nobody cares, bc: well, duh. (That thing *is* obvious, after all.) 🤗

Buuuuuttttt, I disagree with the conclusion that ONLY leftists have the blame for this. We are a nation with a loooooong history of being racist AF (tragically fiat, now that I think about it) and calling it out (or not calling it out) shouldn't realllllly be a thing that gets decided by the ones who AREN'T that thing...

For example, I am NOT a good resource for how-to-lose-weight. It's literally never happened to me. That's not my genetic makeup. I can't, therefore, decide if it's easy to do or hard to do. I can only agree that it *might* be harder than I think and be nice to "fat" people bc they are, after all, just a product of their nature/ nurture.

That said, I'm a real judgy b*tch sometimes and I alwaaaaaays appreciate when my friends call me out on it. 🤣😂🤣😂

So, anyway carry on, fren. Sounds like you're doing a great job and your boy has settled somewhere on the happy side of GenX's stoopid idea of "color-blind" and just has ...friends.
I'm eager to watch as the next generations work through this, hopefully better than us.

"World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the decentralized finance (DeFi) venture tied to U.S. President Donald Trump and his family, added over $21.5 million worth of ether (ETH), wrapped bitcoin (WBTC), and MOVE tokens to its treasury on Wednesday, data shows.

WLFI acquired 4,468 ETH at roughly $2,238 each (totaling $10 million), 110.6 WBTC at $90,415 (another $10 million), and 3.42 million MOVE tokens at $0.438 apiece ($1.5 million).

The WLFI purchases, where Trump and his sons hold ambassadorial roles, come days ahead of a White House Crypto Summit scheduled on Mar. 7, where the President is set to meet with several high-profile crypto founders."

I know how strongly everyone here feels about "other crypto". I get it. But Trump just told all those "shitcoin" firms to re-shore their operations. He's about to claim a big win for American jobs. Good ones.
And... (I'm not picking on you, I just feel like the only one who sees this) *some of* those shitcoins are really NOT ACTUALLY EVEN COINS. And they're DEFINITELY NOT COMPETITORS to Bitcoin. Some of them will be very useful to the world of mainstream eCommerce and international financial institutions and many will end up working with Bitcoin to create solutions we haven't even imagined yet. But NONE OF THEM want to replace (or threaten the position of) Bitcoin. Truly, I'd be willing to bet that every single one of those crypto bros at the table yesterday owns Bitcoin.

I wish everyone would stop going on about shitcoins. It's embarrassing.

It seems like another one of those bills that's labeled to make what it's doing seem all sweet and innocent, like the "Protect Marriage" ballot issues in California in the late 90s. And the "I love my wife" bumper stickers. But if you're open to other opinions, I'd like to keep following you and maybe sometimes (hopefully) respectfully disagree. But not very often, don't worry.

2025-03-03T01:58:56Z

On this day, 2-March 2025, the new world order began. The President of the United States of America just decided (and, more importantly,
publicly declared an intention) TO PRINT MORE DOLLARS to buy more "Bitcoin and other crypto." Well, I mean, that's kinda how it happened. 😉

The entire crypto market surged, including the lone CEO-less outsider, which has never been governable.

Incidentally gold is down a bit tonight.
My theory is that most normies are still conditioned to buy #GOLD as a security in uncertain times. This is certainly not the first time a currency has collapsed, but fiat capitalism has a certain coziness about it. (It'll lull you into complicity if you let it...)
Anyway, it's gonna take retail a minute to catch on, and some of us were lucky to figure it out before THE INSTITUTIONS and CENTRAL BANKS got in, but someday, people will be like: "You bought Bitcoin UNDER $100K?!"

It's still early, frenz.
Most people probably aren't lucky enough to live in the #BitcoinJungle where a bunch of croc & sock-wearing sovereign people decided to start a freely-moving circular economy (where we have more farm-fresh EGGS than you can imagine)-- which means, most people are gonna get left behind.

That's why the governments will have to move to the digital stablecoins.
Watch.
They're gonna send #stimuluschecks digitally this time. In the US, that will be in the form of a #DOGErefund. (I still haven't decided if you guys are rooting for #Elon sarcastically or if you really are so enthralled by his aggressively narcissistic behavior that you can't yet see how hard he's fucking us over. 🤔)
Anyway whatever not-CBDC they choose to replace the dollar, they'll easily convert it from freshly-printed fiat to $DOGE using Ripple. And the Ethereum network will be used to pass them-- this is why #Elonboughtourdata.
Also #itsNOTaCOIN. Duh.

Maxis are so black & white, so sure that Bitcoin is the ONLY one, that they forget:
(1) Stack sats and STAY HUMBLE. That second part is as critical as the first.
(2) How they got here in the first place. They bought a bunch of shitcoins and THEN bought Bitcoin. That's also how you got the money to buy Bitcoin-- you also MADE some money, you didn't always lose. 😉

OMg. Shit is getting crazy. Git yer popcorn, kids. Buckle yer seatbelts. It's gonna be a wild ride.

We're still early.

There is no US and Them, only us and those who are pulling the strings, but they make up new enemies for us from time to time because it's the easiest way to unite us (by dividing us) and, of course, to print more money. Nothing unites us faster than a catastrophe and a common enemy. If you can't see this yet, it's bc you're too content up there in your Maslow's hierarchy.

as inspired by a running conversation with the ladies of #WomenWhoBitcoin over on cluborange (npub1ve8…9ka6) 🧡 #gm

I was EQUAL PARTS invested in gold, XRP, and Bitcoin this last year. Gold went up the most last year (consistent ATHs, minimal downs --people were scared). I took profits and bought more Bitcoin. I sold my SOL (and ETH and ADA) to buy more XRP. 📈🚀🔥

I'm a recent grad of #miprimerbitcoin ⚡ but... I'm not wired like you OGs. You love the beautiful way that Bitcoin mathematically solves all the problems. That part bored me to tears.

Me, I came to #asknostr for #bitcoin for charitable contributions for community projects. Stuck around because Gigi (npub1der…xzpc) said something about magical internet money and free coffee. I like #coffee. ☕

But I'm here for the cultural revolution. 🌱

My life doesn't get better unless everyone around me also gets better-- I'm gringa but I married a Costa Rican. I'm a firestarter for the bottom part of the #circulareconomy, a community-builder, a humble connector. #introduction🔥♾️🧡

I'm also part of the #XRParmy.
Think of me as a translator.
An Amiga de Confianza.
Someone who helps you get what you most want.

Look, there's a 2nd generation who needs a little #generationalwealthtransfer lube (as we're getting f*cked every way from Sunday). We were either too young or too dumb to get in on your round. Don't hold it against us. #karma #dharma
We're not selling our souls to the CBDCs --we're pushing for a necessary first step toward the Perfect Money.

Why does it have to be an UGLY narrative? Choose your own adventure, boys. Don't be so dramatic and conspiracy theorist. It's negative vibras.

The truth is, nobody wants dollars anymore. Not you, not us.

There's ONLY ONE WAY forward.
We've gotta go back on the #goldstandard

Price all currencies in gold.
Gold is old world energy. It's a security. Whether you believe in it or not, it hit another #ATH yesterday.

XRP is NOT a security.
(Read between the lines. It's the chosen one to transfer between central banks' digital currencies. It's also NOT Bitcoin, and that's ok. Not everyone is ready for sovereign money. We'll get there.) #trusttheprocess

The new generations need wealth too, guys. And all this #HODLing is bad for our businesses. We're literally dying on the vine here in all the places you want to live-- Costa Rica, Spain, Portugal. Happy to see you THRIVING and eating all that meat, but... bro. 🥓

We'd LOVE to buy BTC, but it's f*cking EXPENSIVE and we only make like $30/day. Salaries haven't gone up in paradise, just prices. Fiat sucks.
Gentrification sucks.

We have NO CHOICE but to buy XRP -- There is only one Bitcoin and YOU'RE NOT SHARING IT. What happened to 21M/♾️? Frankly, you're still paying us in fiat and it is insulting.
Show us the Bitcoin.

If you want to make the world better, start giving tips to get #locals up to #thebitcoinstandard of living. Tips are a risk-free BONUS that they can watch go up (and down) and learn. They can't afford risk-- that's a real privilege, friends.

My Costa Rican husband makes the equivalent of $7/hour, building white people's houses in the HOT SUN (deforestation is real and it's making even Costa Rica too hot). BITCOIN FIXES THAT, especially here in the #bitcoinjungle where you can pay anything with sats, using FRANCIS (npub1t28…nkzs)'s app. ⚡
Seriously, why are we still f*cking around with fiat?!

If you're a fortunate soul who got into Bitcoin back when it was under $1k or even under $10k, pleeeeeease start shaking it loose. Start paying the working class in sats. Stop trying to pay less fiat than your friends-- you're killing us.
Set aside a whole BTC (which maaaaybe didn't cost you that much, let's be honest) and commit to paying your workers a contract term of something like 1M sats/month -- a fair wage.
But forever, Laura.

Forget about the number go up.
It's the only way forward.

An intentional shift.
Think outside the box.
Empathy. Compassion.
Watch how it changes your life. 🧡

Good morning from the Bitcoin Jungle! 🇨🇷 #gm

I figured it out.

Bitcoin is the Store of Value.
It's perfect money for future generations.

But it "won't replace the dollar."

That's what XRP is for.
In the evolution of perfect money, we once had a gold standard. But we temporarily dropped it. (In 1971.)
https://wtfhappenedin1971.com

In order to evolve to the perfect money, we need to go back on the gold standard (this is gonna be UGLY...) and #ENDFIAT.

Insist to track EVERYTHING against gold.

Fiat (dollar, euro, whatever) goes digital (SWIFT requires ISO-compliant currency as of 10 March 2025) using XRP as the medium between all sovereign nations and central banks.
Don't fight it, jack mallers (npub1cn4…3vle). 🫂 Nobody wants dollars anymore; they're inflated AF and still printing.

This is a necessary first step in the evolution toward the #perfectmoney.
We need a #planB.

XRP should also be measured in the gold standard, or we don't support it.
No government shitcoins.

Anyone who wants wealth for future generations would be wise to store it in BTC.
(also. measured. in. gold.)

Gold hit an ATH yesterday. 💔

The dollar's going to zero and there's only one way to track it.
#goldstandard

I hope you see value in this #proofofwork --I give thanks to all the teachers in the community of the BitcoinJungle (npub14f2…v7lu). I just finished #miprimerbitcoin en español with Tico 🇨🇷 (npub148u…ty0w) and npub1hv6254hclukynr8pg5v7e5khelkdpzzj8rpxjaa0plpwh3ec953st4dcn2in (npub1hv6…n2in) #costarica-- #classof2024

#thatbitcoinprojectinBahía is ever-evolving and ready to be of service. I stand on a street corner and gift coffee to locals three days a week in exchange for buenas vibras and insider scoops on the goings-on of this sweet little beach town-- real estate deals, historical info, projects people are interested in creating... it's one of the best investments of my time and fiat I've ever made. Sometimes tourists pay a little money to cover the costs of the coffee and baked goods (sourced from the local bakery, down the street), but that's not really the point.

I'm trying to protect this sweetness from the wave of gentrification and deforestation that is currently crashing on the Pacific shore all up and down Costa Rica. Nothing corporate here, please. Northern Costa Rica is looking more and more like Miami Beach... but here, we're still walking or riding bikes everywhere. Sometimes horses.

My coffee is slow-pour, authentic Costa Rican style. And, as a gringa, ironically, I'm THE ONLY ONE selling it. Everyone else is using the coffeemaker. The loss of everything that matters is heartbreaking, but if that crazy gringa doesn't stand on the corner, talking about it, nobody notices. One cup at a time. 🦥 time preference. Pura vida.

Seems to me that Gen X had it reallly good, back before people started shooting our kids and we actually felt SAFE all the time (I mean, we were downright TERRIFED of drugs but literally nothing else). If a boy fell, back in the days, he just brushed himself off and maybe rubbed some dirt in it.

What changed?

I've been busy the last two weeks, opening my first business --the MVP is a pop-up tent in front of a (costarrican) friend's restaurant, serving coffee on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays (in November). I'm doing a study to confirm (or should i say PROVE) it works. it'll grow from there in December, when all the tourists arrive. culmination will be in February for the BitcoinJungle (npub14f2…v7lu)
#freedomfestival, but that's all just context.

¡Osa se mueve! is going to change this culture. We're gonna stimulate the local economy, get people moving.
(I'm having the time of my life, co-creating with a LOT of really cool people here in the #bitcoinjungle.)

I need some help. ⚡
(if you know me, please vouch for me & my project, re-post or comment). that would help a lot, since i still can't figure out the goddamn relay setup...)
I told this friend I'd pay her $50 to paint this satellite dish sign for my pop-up, but that's not nearly what it's worth. look how BEAUTIFUL and cleverly costarrican it is 🇨🇷. can you please zap some sats for her beautiful sign? I'd love to pay her something in Bitcoin too. (I'll pass it sat for sat to her. she deserves it, 💯.)

¡FINALMENTE comenzamos! el curso #elDiplomado que me recomendó @melisabarrantes... Un honor total ser parte de él. Y sobre todo, ser incluida como la costarricense que quiero ser. Además, en español. 🥹

Un agradecimiento ENORME a la gente de #bitcoinbeach y #miprimerbitcoin y a la gente de #ElSalvador.
Hoy recibimos lo que ustedes prepararon.

Mañana voy a emprender mi primer negocio. Les voy a decir la verdad. Si la #junglabitcoin no estuviera en mi vida... NUNCA lo hubiera hecho. Muchas gracias por ser los mentores que son, los expertos. Los angeles de la Jungla son angelitos de verdad. Gracias.

to be honest, it's just serving coffee in the mornings, on a street where all of the tourists pass. it's hard to believe nobody else is already doing this. I bought a pop-up and a table and all the things I need to make coffee and some mugs and sadly even some to-go mugs (with plastic lids 😢) and everything I need for a total cost of about 1.5 million sats. imagine a lemonade stand, but with a REAL Costa Rican coffee, not that sh*t they made in a coffeemaker, served my my Costa Rican friends and neighbors. ☕🍊🚀

in the month of november, we will be open Fridays Saturdays and Sundays only. if there's more opportunity to justify doing more days, that's good news, but I want to grow the biz slowly, intentionally. December January and February, I'm all in. peak season is known as the only time of the year to make money in Bahía... and 90 days is the perfect amount of time for a business incubator/ test. my coffee shop is just the "proof" that it's true and it works.

the goal is to make $100 a day in profit-- that's my take-home pay. included in the overhead is $1 a coffee for the friends who are helping me.

so unlike the traditional model in Costa Rica of paying someone $4 an hour, if we can sell four coffees in 15 minutes, they'll make waaaaaay more money. and the more coffees they sell, the more money they'll make. I think that's what's missing in this economy --every time I see someone local working in a restaurant in the Bitcoin Jungle they're on their phone. they're not motivated to work. they're not motivated to sell anything. they're not making any money unless they work more hours.

while initially I pondered some of those "pay what you think it's worth" ideas, everyone around me said that probably wasn't going to work in real life. (most people from most countries don't tip, and pretty much everyone from the US knows you don't have to tip in Costa Rica bc the 10% service is already included.) I'm kind of sad about not trying that idea, especially when it's really obvious to me that this is what's called "the Bitcoin standard."

but whatever.
I figured out a better way-- commissions are very motivating. and the point wasn't TO WORK, the point was to build a community. and earn bitcoin for services provided.

the photo is me, mid-pandemic, living my best life on Little Corn Island in Nicaragua. it was not Christmas season, but the coffee mug shows how little one cares when in search of a good caffeination... i was clearly grateful. i even took a photo!
