I've build three physical Bitcoin hubs in my life, (Bitcoin Embassy, BlockHouse and Bitcoin Jungle help) and I've visited countless others.
The new Freedom Center we are building in Bitcoin Jungle will become the most awesome.
Think of it as a private members club with gym/sauna/cold plunge/pool with wellness activities, that's also a coworking space for digital nomads and expats, that has classrooms to teach freedom tech to locals, and dozens of monthly events on a massive rooftop terrasse.
Yes, it's real. Opening today!

The industry acts a powerless senate mindlessly applauding, whoring its legitimacy with the plebs to remain in the inner circle of power Virtue is kept alive by a few philosophers in exile.

A world premier, on Nostr
Photo of my copy of Antifragile autographed by Nassim Taleb in 2016 with the phrase "en le remerciant de rendre la société plus sûre" which means "thank you for making society a safer place". This is in reference to my work in Bitcoin, as Taleb was visiting the Bitcoin Embassy in Montreal which he had coincidentally booked our event space for a private networking event.
I showed him our mining farm, our memes, some gadgets, explained how we turned cash into Bitcoin and vice versa and Nassim Taleb was very excited about what we were doing at the Bitcoin Embassy and about Bitcoin. I think it probably helped that I had a literal portrait of him in my office as well as "Antifragile" on my book shelf.
This copy has been burried in my personal museum vault for many years and I have not seen it since, this is the first time I release this photo (just found while backing an old drive) taken 8 years ago.

The personal, as everyone’s so fucking fond of saying, is political. So if some idiot politician, some power player, tries to execute policies that harm you or those you care about, take it personally.
Get angry.
The Machinery of Justice will not serve you here – it is slow and cold, and it is theirs, hardware and soft. Only the little people suffer at the hands of Justice; the creatures of power slide from under it with a wink and a grin.
If you want justice, you will have to claw it from them.
Make it personal. Do as much damage as you can. Get your message across.
That way, you stand a better chance of being taken seriously next time. Of being considered dangerous.
And make no mistake about this: being taken seriously, being considered dangerous marks the difference - the only difference in their eyes - between players and little people.
Players they will make deals with. Little people they liquidate.
And time and again they cream your liquidation, your displacement, your torture and brutal execution with the ultimate insult that it’s just business, it’s politics, it’s the way of the world, it’s a tough life and that it’s nothing personal.
Well, fuck them. Make it personal.

Orange-Pilling Costa Rican merchants
Total time: 5 minutes
ACT 1, SCENE 1
me: do you accept Bitcoin payments?
them: no
me: why not?
them: I don't know... I don't have the app
me: do you have a phone or tablet with you?
them: yeah
me: can I show you how it works quickly?
them: sure (shrugs)
me - I take the phone and download the Bitcoin Jungle, we add their phone number, and hand it back to them
me: here is how to receive Bitcoin, click receive enter the amount
them - they do as I say and the QR code pops up
me - use ninja speed to pay the invoice
me: congratulations you now accept Bitcoin payments
me - I show them the advanced settings and how to convert Bitcoin to local currency in a bank account with the Bull Bitcoin
me: you're all set. here is our phone number if you need help
them: cool, thanks
END
P.S. - When dealing with the owner of the shop the success rate is very high. Failure is usually do to the fact that they are not the owner of the shop. ACT 2 of this story is showing the owner how to use the Point of Sale feature and explaining how to make sure employees don't steal the money which takes another ~3-4 minutes.

Now reading the Cicero series by Robert Harris. Book 1 "Imperium" was really good. I am enjoying it because I studied and translated Cicero's speeches from Latin when I was a youth. I went to Rome to visit the forum and was reading his speeches on the trip. might fuck around and bring back the Roman republic who knows

cool! Joinstr wallet library in Rust. I'm excited with Nostr as a protocol for wallets to communicate and Bull Bitcoin is happy to support projects that leverage nostr for this purpose.
Bull Bitcoin has also been working (stealth) on our own protocol for wallets to communicate over Nostr for another purpose which doesn't have anything to do with collaborative transactions... I think it will be a huge breakthrough in Bitcoin wallet user experience. coming soon... but yes the Bull Bitcoin will have a Nostr component soon (but it won't be for social media, since that area is already well covered by Primal Damus etc.)
