Week 110 with #SaturdaysForSatoshi started at the anti-military camp "Rheinmetall entwaffnen!" A big peace demonstration was planned for 8km through the city. I chose a strategically well placed bank along the demo route. Unfortunately the demonstration never arrived, since the cops were attacking and cornering the demonstration after only 1km. I showed some solidarity with the people in custody afterwards, but there was nothing more I could do, instead of trying to defund the state with all I have. Day ended with fireworks to celebrate 110 weeks of continuous weekly protests. 🎆 🪧:" Limited Money = Limited Wars ; Endless Money = Endless Wars"

When the universe collides into @SpontaneousOrder during our #BikeRave 🤯

GM #Nostr After a month of activism I’m leaving Frankfurt, but I still have to introduce you to the MVP's of the last month. Bini, a 78 year old antifascism activist with "Omas gegen Rechts" already hosted me last year for a week and didn’t hesitate a second once I asked her if I could crash at their place during my 21 day sit in at the European Central Bank. We shared laughs, food, stories and timeless wisdom and she would always have the right words on her lips when I got back after a long, exhausting day of activism. Although she didn’t grok #Bitcoin completely, she was curious and open to install a lightning wallet and get started. All this while starting chemotherapy, keeping a lighthearted spirit, an open mind and trusting spontaneous order. I sent her 50% of the #zaps and in person donations I received during my 21 days, which was approximately 42k sats. Feel free to add to that. steelylatency67@walletofsatoshi.com Flo, an adventurous soul, who always has a crazy story up his sleeve about his several trips around our beautiful globe. Either hitchhiking through the US, camping in the desert or dancing through the streets of Korea. He is probably the best tourist guide to book if you’re visiting Europe for a week or two and want to have a deep dive into German culture. I’ll be forever grateful to have met these two individuals and although I was there for almost 1 month it felt like it went by within a heartbeat. Time flies when you’re having fun they say. What I do might be scary sometimes, but I wouldn’t be able to do it without being able to rest on the shoulders of giants from time to time.

Week 109 with #SaturdaysForSatoshi I drew today’s sign at the system change camp earning side eyes, but also sparking interest. Then I went to the closest Banks around and decided to take place in front of Berenberg private bank. Had fun making fun of the rich kids of Westend. Then back to camp onboarding people to primal and giving them a 2625 #Zap to reward their curiosity. Are you part of the top 1%?

GM #Nostr If speaking out for #Bitcoin in non-violent direct action now feels dangerous, imagine how much worse it will get if we stay silent. Join #SaturdaysForSatoshi today.

Had an informative rest day at the System Change Camp, visiting workshops of composing protest songs, discussing decentralized individual public collective direct action, learning about the structure supporting modern sexism and playing Wizard with friendly strangers who seemed like strangely familiar friends. When I took this picture I thought about solar mining, gotta bring one of these to the next system change camp.

Day 21 at the ECB. Year 3 completed. Happy Bitcoin Infinity Day 🥳 @Knut Svanholm ∞/21M ♾️/21M found his way onto today’s sign. Bitcoiners are a special breed, I got reminded of that early into my shift when Darren, an OG from the US showed me how he brandmarked himself 4 times with a Bitcoin logo. The scars are his proof. After he left I got some cookies and mate from a girl that had heard of me through friends and wanted to leave some support. A little later my favorite group of activists showed up, who were performing earlier that day on a democracy festival, the antifascist grandmas brought wisdom, curiosity and snacks that would help me through the day. Then Ozan stayed for some time, talking about Bitcoin and perpetual traveling. While we were talking a motorcycle stopped in front of us, a guy in suit hopped of and asked me to open my Lightning Wallet. He was gone as soon as the donation settled, lightning fast. Michael, a local, was suggesting to put up a statue a my spot, since he thinks that I’ll be missed by the community. Daniel who’s in town for the System Change Camp dropped by for some meditative session listening to the latest @TFTC video on repeat. It’s a great mantra to manifest #Bitcoin adoption in front of the central bank. In the afternoon @Fidel dropped by and asked whether all the people carrying chairs were actually building the #HumanBlockchain. Turns out the symphony orchestra had an open air gig at the river. We enjoyed to watch the flow of passersby’s. Some trainees from the ECB tried to invite me for a beer during my bio break, but I couldn’t leave my companions for too long. Charles, who does MiCA regulation asked me about the 51% attack on Monero and was suspicious of KYC regulation, because of potential Data Hacks. Tom closed the evening with a ukulele Impro session. All in all, it’s been a great time. Resistance is building. I’ve been talking to many people from all parts of life. I’m immensely grateful for all the support I’ve received. I’m standing on the shoulders of giants, and my persistence is only a small contribution to a bigger puzzle we’re all trying to solve collectively. Tomorrow I got a "rest" day at the climate camp next public action on #SaturdayForSatoshi.

(Un)popular opinion: Most Bitcoiners are Fiatlings with a superiority complex.

Day 20 at the ECB. If the system is fighting #Bitcoin through mass manipulation, we gotta fight back through reverse psychology. Since there is a stubborn kid in every one of us, some of us feel like doing the exact opposite of what we are told. And what do banksters tell us? Do not think about alternatives, spreading fear, uncertainty and doubt about competition that could undermine their power. Bitcoin is too volatile, It’s only used by criminals on the darknet, It’s electricity consumption will eat up everything. We’ve heard it all. The same tactics are used by Big Oil to seed doubt in the scientific findings about #ClimateChange. Climate has always changed, It’s not manmade, It’s just a narrative by governments to oppress and surveil us, bli bla blub. No one is immune to these kinds of manipulations, although some bitcoiners would claim that they themselves have figured it all out. Only dumb people think they’re smart. I don’t know how a world without borders, governments or military would exactly look like. I don’t know if everyone will be fed and I don’t know if people who need help will be helped. I don’t know if it will be better, more sustainable, more just and more peaceful than the status quo. But one thing I know for sure, I want to find out.
