I just set up ... let's see if this works on desktop first.
Centralization vs decentralization We are winning 🤠 #nostr #BTCPrague

Had several great conversations in @BTC Prague about living in Thailand: lifestyle, family friendliness etc Likely that your perception of Thailand is very wrong 😂 My life improved massively when I moved there. If you’re curious, come find me! I’m usually at the Nostr booth.
Trying again… if you see me at @BTC Prague ask me about this and Ride of Passage!
If you’re in Prague and you see me at the conference... Ask me about this.

Over the past four years I’ve started building websites to rank in Google. The idea is to get organic traffic to your site and then generate income off that. This is my first foray into making money on my own. And I worked at it – alone – for a long while. Until I discovered the Chiang Mai SEO community – and met Matt Diggity, Kyle Roof, Karl Kangur, Charles Floate and many more who already built what I wanted to build: a real business making serious money. ‘Networking’ when I was in a 9-5 felt scummy and largely useless. I kept my head down, got my work done, and collected my salary. But when building my own thing, networking became exciting. I saw how much value could be exchanged over a simple conversation. How I could help others and be helped - in ways that would completely transform my life - over a cup of coffee. Then I started to go to conferences – first Chiang Mai SEO and then the SEO Mastery Summit in Vietnam – and met more entrepreneurs like Sacha Fournier, Jamie I.F., James Oliver, Niels Zee, Jaume Ros, Nick Rowe, Jason Mills, Gael Breton and many more. All of them incredibly ambitious. They've done the work. They've built businesses that afford them the freedom to live and work anywhere. And they are continuing to hustle. But many of us have a big problem. We are all over the place. Even though we may be one conversation away from solving the next problem, we often lack the right networks to have that conversation. Many of us wanting to push our business to the next level are in silos, stuck behind computer screens. One relationship away from a completely changed life. I want to fix that. And I want to have fun doing it. Hence, the Ride of Passage: Mastermind. What is the Ride of Passage: Mastermind? The idea behind this ride is to mix adventure and business in order to create deeper bonds between entrepreneurs and generate more creative ideas. We will do this through a five day ride in the mountains of Northern Thailand on the digital nomad’s Swiss Army knife – the 125cc automatic scooter. Each day will be structured to provide a bit of adventure and a bit of entrepreneurial problem solving: often starting the day with a thoughtful question and a quiet ride or hike through the mountains, followed by an afternoon of mastermind-style problem solving around every participant’s business. Who is the Ride of Passage: Mastermind for? This Ride of Passage is for entrepreneurs who want to grow their businesses and make close connections with others on a similar path. This isn’t for the wantrapreneur, and it isn’t a party or a coworking session either. This is a time to unplug, decompress, and go high-level with your business alongside a community of similarly adventurous and ambitious entrepreneurs. If that sounds good to you, check out the Mastermind here:
On my Bitcoin Tour across the USA last year, one region stuck out to me in particular. It’s a place which, honestly, I was not excited to return to. I grew up in this part of the world and I remember from a young age wanting to leave, to explore. But returning here... I began to see a new side. What this region lacks in mountains and New York minutes it more than makes up for in genuine, kind, and industrious people. It holds many untold histories and subcultures that are impossible to see from the highway. This is not “flyover country”. This is the American Heartland. Once I ran the first Ride of Passage in Thailand, I knew the American Midwest would be next. The heartland of the country holds hidden gems that fit with the vision of tours money can’t buy. It is growing into a powerhouse for technology, regenerative farming, and sovereign living – especially through the actions of Bitcoiners. The Bitcoin communities here are tight-knit and interconnected. While others larp about circular economies on Twitter, they are building them one sale at a time. What is this Ride of Passage all about? The Ride of Passage: American Heartland Tour is designed to connect you to this vibrant Bitcoin community through a motorcycle adventure with Bitcoiners. Over 8 days together you’ll visit Bitcoin meetups, regenerative ranches and cultural sites throughout the Midwest. You will sample some of the cleanest beef in the nation as you ride through commodity grain fields. You will visit farmstays creating a new tourism industry around regenerative practices. You will shake the hands of Bitcoiners with grand plans to build industry and wealth in the heartland. This ride wouldn’t exist without the help of those on the ground - from @rev.hodl to Lake Satoshi, Indy Bitcoin, Columbus Bitcoin, Beef Initiative (damn I gotta find all of you on Nostr) and so many more! It also wouldn’t be happening without the legend Alan Jackson - who gives out more sats to taxi drivers and waitresses than most people will ever stack. He’s also one of the most experienced motorcyclists I know, with over 50 years of touring across 5 continents. Alan stepped up and will be leading the Ride of Passage: American Heartland Tour. I can’t wait for you to get to know him. Who’s the Ride of Passage: American Heartland Tour for? This Ride of Passage is for anyone seeking deeper connections to the Bitcoin community, forged through unforgettable adventures on two wheels. Limited to just 10 riders who will be personally vetted by me. Still have questions? Feel free to ask me, or anyone who was on the first Ride of Passage - Texas Slim, Satoshi Symbol, Alan, Wes, Cory, and @Tech Engineer Will you take sovereignty into your own hands by meeting those doing it every day? 👇
