🟡⚫ Another win for the “Canaries”
🏆 Ranking 4th in the ₿ulgarian championship!
⏭️ The team takes a short break before the next game with Beroe on September 14th.

💜 Last year, @npub19jf…8rx0 became the first sports club on Nostr.
🫡 Today, we become the first sports club running a Nostr relay: https://relay.botev.sv/
This relay would not be happening without:
- The inspiration that we got from @npub1der…xzpc's writings in 2023
- The contagious enthusiasm of @npub16c0…6nvr, @npub18am…p424, @npub1qny…95gx, @npub1v0l…qj49
- The time invested by @npub1mnw…eujc to actually set up https://relay.botev.sv/
This is a small but important step in our recommittment to freedom.
👇 WHY?
1. Our club is named afer the poet and freedom fighter Hristo Botev, who died fighting for our country's freedm. Botev famously wrote "Only one who is free can be called human in the full sends of the word".
2. Botev FC suffered heavily to centralization and censorship during the Bulgarian communist era, when the team was forced to change its name to "Trakia" and was repeately mistreated in favor of communist-friendly clubs.
Embracing Bitcoin and Nostr is, therefore, the most natural step for our club's identity and historical roots.
If Hristo Botev was alive, he would have been a Bitcoiner running a full node and a Norst relay.
In the past year, we have mostly been cross-posting from Twitter to Nostr. But for us this is just the beginning. We already have plans for Nostr-exclusive content and keep looking for:
- the right Nostr clients that enable us to reinvent fan engagement;
- the best way to utilize our relat for our community;
- new purple paradigms and projects.
It was thrilling to join @npub1nst…rg5l's Nostriga. The energy I felt in people reminded of the energy described in Ben Merzlich's "Bitcoin Billionaires" book about the Winklevos brothers. It is an honor to part of this community.
LET'S BUILD!
Following our club's slogan BEAUTY. FAITH. FIGHT.
🌟 We see the BEAUTY of Nostr and Bitcoin.
🙏 We have FAITH Nostr and Bitcoin can make the world freer
⚔️ We contribute to this worthwhile FIGHT.
🚀 The ₿est is Yet to Come!
⚽ One Goal At a Time!

Hiking in boots is like having sex with 5 condoms.
Shoes are a #scam.
Barefoot shoes too.
Five fingers too.
Ok, in all fairness, barefoot shoes and five fingers can serve as good tools to transition from pampered muscle-less feet to strong, balanced, and connected feet.
And once you have made the transition….OMG you wonder how you could have missed pristine connectedness in favor of overprotective condoms for the feet.
Go #natural.
@npub1lel…kvyz if you come visit in ₿ullgaria, we can do some content on barefoot walking - both in the mountain and on the football field :)) LIFECHANGING! Like Bitcoin 🧡 and Nostr 💜

I wonder if/how one can set his Nostr feed to show a MIX of TRENDING posts and posts of people I follow? @npub16c0…6nvr
Cuz now I feel like most users are exposed primarily to trending posts.
In other words, when how can a normal user define his personal feed algorithm? (as @LynAlden calls it)

Today, I am grateful to Bitcoin for:
😊 Getting me out of the rat race
⏳Giving me time to grow my health and relationships
❤️ Letting me work on projects I love
🤘 Surrounding me with worthwhile humans
☀️Allowing me to think positive and to think big
Last but not least, I am grateful to being this early on Nostr. I now know a little better how Bitcoin OGs felt back in the very early days.
The futures is bright 🧡💜
Let’s build our lives and societies 🚀

Important addition. As per @jack : traditional social media have monopoly over the algorithms, which incentivize hatred and polarisation. So freedom of will (due to corporate algorithms) might be a bigger problem than freedom of speech. Nostr fixes this:)

I love Whitney Webb’s unfiltered theses.
The only thing I find suspicious is why is she not on Nostr yet?

What a historic night for @npub19jf…8rx0 💛🖤, #Bitcoin 🧡 and #Nostr💜!
🇪🇺 Returning on the European football stage!
🤜 Beating Maribor 2:1 with #Bitcoin on our side
⚽ 1st goal scored by Nigerian 🇳🇬 Anthony Ujah
⚽ 2nd goal scored by ₿ULLgarian 🇧🇬 Nikola Iliev
Both scorers will be Bitcoiners (we hope very soon).
#11 Anthony runs a foundation in Nigeria for kids & women. 🤌 He needs #Bitcoin to to grow his foundations' endowment and to send money for free to Nigeria.
#21 Nikola grew up in Botev's academy, then moved to @Inter, playing with their fantoken jersey. Last month, he ditched Inter to come back to Botev wearing the special 21 #Bitcoin jersey and scoring the winning goal in yesterday's 2:1 🔥
🤌 He needs #Bitcoin to multiply his salary's purchasing power in his rising career.
I am preparing my best presentation for Anthony, Nikola and the 30-player squad reinforced with short videos from #Bitcoin players Alex Crognale, Kieran Gibbs, and Nigerian Bitcoiner @npub1sn0…tr2x.
Yesterday's historic win was also supported by our lifelong 12th player - the fans. Including a #Bitcoin stand with 50 strong local Bitcoiners cheering Botev right above the 17-meter long banner:
👊 If you understand Bitcoin, you buy it. 👊
The clear message was broadcast on national Bulgarian and Slovenian TV reaching +1 million European homes, restaurants, and pubs.
@npub13l3…8xc2 rightfully calls Bitcoin to be Europeans' mithril. At @npub19jf…8rx0 we see the greatest game of all time as the trojan horse for millions of people to take the orange pill.
While fans won't watch @npub15dq…lm5m's @npub1cn4…3vle's talk at @npub167n…zu3r, they will follow their beloved players.
Problem: Messi, Ronaldo, Man City, PSG and many more are overtaken by memecoins and fantokens. They are lost. And it will take them years to come to the bright orange side.
We at Botev, on the other hand strive to be like @MicroStrategy and El Salvador. We know Bitcoin is the way. It is the hard way, but the right way - for our players, fans, for #football and #sports!
In 2020, few knew MicroStrategy or El Salvador.
⏩ 4 years of hard work:
⭐ MicroStrategy is the Bitcoin company that has outperformed every stock.
🙌 El Salvador is the Bitcoin country that has become the safest place in the western hemisphere.
In 2023, very few knew @npub19jf…8rx0.
⏩ 9 months of hard work:
🏆 Won the Bulgarian Cup
🇪🇺 Returned to UEFA Europa League with a historic win
💜 +100,000 social media followers (including 4,000 followers on Nostr!)
🎥 Got a documentary by @npub1lr2…dl6a; @npub1lel…kvyz ;)
🤝 Partnered with @npub1jan…x52y for a Botev branded Aqua Wallet
⚡ Launched Bolt member cards with @npub155m…dcvg
🇸🇻 Established a holding company in El Salvador to accumulate Bitcoin tax free
🤫 And so many more world-first #Bitcoin x #Football projects that we have upcoming.
Where will Botev be in 1-2-3 years?
It will be the #Bitcoin football club that Manchester City follows like Dell today follows MicroStrategy.
So how can you make history with us?

For sure. But for you to be able to zap them, they need to have an LN address. So my goal is to spark the interest of at least several key ones to set their LNs.

🆘 I need help orange-pilling 30 professional #football players.
I am prepareing a 20 min #bitcoin talk to @npub19jf…8rx0's squad.
We have mostly #Bulgarian 🇧🇬 players but also 4 great Nigerian players, as well as players from #Cameroon 🇨🇲, Ivory Coast 🇨🇮, #Guinea 🇬🇫, #Poland 🇵🇱, #Estonia 🇪🇪, #Montenegro 🇲🇪, #Denmark 🇩🇰, and #Croatia 🇭🇷.
So far, I plan to go personal by:
1. Asking the African players how to they send remittances to their relatives. And then show them how they can send bitcoin over LN instantly and for free.
2. Asking the experienced players how much income they made over their careers. Then show them how much more they could have if they DCA-ed in #BTC for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 years.
🙋‍♂️What other impactful examples, ideas, illustrations would you use to orange-pill players?
All ideas are welcome -> conventional or crazy!
Also, intros to well-know Bitcoiners or orange-pilled athletes from Nigeria, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Guinea, Poland, Estonia, Montenegro, Denmark, and Croatia would be greatly appreciated it. I want to get a quote, advice, or recommendation from them, so my message resonates with players from a national angle.
🎯 My end goals include:
- Create Bitcoin wallets for most/all players
- Send them sats to their LN addresses
- Make them talk publicly about Bitcoin so their fans get orange-pilled too

The status quo:
- 195 central banks
- 180 easy currencies
- 195 inflationary policies melting your savings
Disrupting the status quo:
- 1 decentralized bank
- 1 hard currency
- 1 deflationary policy protecting your savings

"Inflation is decreasing" they said.
What they actually mean is:
🐷 You were obese in 2020.
Since then you have been gaining weight every month and every year...
In 2020 you were 130 kg 🐷
In 2021 you were 135 kg 🐷🐷
In 2022 you were 140 kg 🐷🐷🐷
In 2023 you are 150 kg 🐷🐷🐷🐷
And the amazing news is in April 2023 you gained less weight than in March 2023!!!! 🥳
Makes total sense, right?

We witnessing a controlled demotion of the US banking system.
The US Central Bank is governed by very smart folks.
They knew perfectly well that raising interest rates would make banks insolvent.
They still did it to reach their proclaimed goal: "decrease inflation".
And that truly was one of their goals.
But I am sure they had more goals.
They know very well that the financal system is bankrupt.
And they have 3 options:
1. Maintain a consistently high inflationary monetary policy to decrease debts.
2. Introduce Central Bank Digital Currencies so they can implement monetary policy on an individual level (communism 2.0).
3. Another option that I don't see but maybe you can help me see in the comments :)?
A major crash/recession unfortunately seems inevitable.
And every crisis is a perfect opprutnity to introduce more control and limiting of freedoms.
Like what we have seen in the crises in:
- 1907 - banking crisis in USA which led to the nationalisation of USD
- 1914 - WW1 and brrr* to finance ther war
- 1933 - USA confiscated its citizens' gold (essentiall brrr* )
- 1971 - USD currency crisis -> USD no more backed by gold (brrr* again)
- 2001 - Patriot act and brrr* to finance the war and kill the terrorists
- 2008 - Recession and brrr* to save the banks
- 2020 - Lock-downs and brrr* to save the economy
- 2023/4/5 brrrrrrrr
*brrr is a meme referring to central bankins printing of money
Thank god for Bitcoin!

We are living through
The Great Monetary Transition!
Money tomorrow will not work as it does today.
Here is how we got here and what is coming:
The Great Monetary Transition!
Money tomorrow will not work as it does today.
Here is how we got here and what is coming:
1. Age of Gold 600BC - 1913
People across the world used gold & silver as money. They were:
- Issued in a decentralized way
(anyone could mine money)
- Hard to inflate
(you had to mine gold)
- Counterparty-free money
(if you held it, it was truly yours)
2. Transition 1913 - 1971
The US Central Bank (CB) started a transition period. Money became:
- Centrally issued banknotes
(only CBs could issue)
- Partially backed by gold
(CBs started to inflate money)
- Dependent on a counterparty
(CBs could confiscate all money)
3. Age of Central Banks 1971 - 2009.
Banks nationalised money & issued 200 fiat currencies:
- Centrally controlled & managed
(only CBs can issue fiat)
- Infinite ∞ inflationary money
(they say inflation is "healthy")
- Dependent on a counterparty
(CBs can confiscate all money)
4. The Great Transition 2009 - 20??
Bitcoin started the transition to digital gold-like money.
This could be a smooth transition, but it will likely be messy.
Small fiat currencies will go to zero...sometimes very quickly.
USD will likely survive the longest of all fiat money.
5. Age of Bitcoin 20??
People worldwide will use one money: bitcoin. Like gold, it is:
- Issued in a decentralized way
(anyone can mine bitcoins)
- Impossible to inflate
(nobody can print bitcoins)
- Counterparty-free money
(if you hold it, it is truly yours)
The Great Monetary Transition can be hard, confusing, even disastrous.
It also brings tremendous opportunities for the curious ones.
After the transition, a new Renaissance will likely follow!
#StudyBitcoin & money so you can better navigate this great transition.
The bad news is during the previous transition we had:
- 2 World Wars
- Multiple economic crises
- Extreme right & left parties
The good news is unlike fiat, bitcoin disincentives wars and boom & bust cycles.
Still bitcoin's adoption will be volatile. It can't be any other way.
Tomorrow, in my newsletter, I will share the 21 steps for bitcoin to become Global Money.
It has already completed 10.
11 more to go!
