Btw, is @npub1cwn…raju also fully available in the Netherlands for Dutch companies?
In other words, receiving euros instead of dollars and connecting with European payment providers?
I love what I’m seeing here and I might be able to get small businesses here to use it..

2024-09-04 12:23:03

Just today, I’ve already helped 4 people set up their professional Bitcoin wallet. It’s 2024, and more and more people are moving towards Bitcoin — it only took 15 years.
Will it take that long for NOSTR too, or will we move faster?

It’s now official, we will stay in the Netherlands for another year, but this time in a much nicer apartment in a better location. This will be much more enjoyable, especially for our daughters.
This allows my wife and me to further develop our (location independent) business with focus in a great environment, and then we’ll hit the road again (traveling and looking for another place to live outside of Europe).
To be continued ✌🏽

Amazing. Not there yet, but by now, my focus is primarily and automatically on NOSTR when I want to add value through social media. The rest has become much less relevant to me, but I don’t yet have the courage to ‘turn it off’ since, for example, I still generate a decent amount of revenue through LinkedIn.

That’s good to know 🙌🏽

2024-09-02 07:07:49

Imagine working hard for two days straight moving houses while also maintaining your own business activities, and the only thing you can think about is how you’re letting NOSTR down by not posting anything for those two days.
That’s how far my commitment has come…

I’ve been living up North in Cabarete / El Encuentro with my family.
I might come back in a year or so. Are you only in Punta Cana or in other areas as well?

Producing valuable content every day is only difficult and challenging if you’re not doing what you love or operating from your heart.
Once you’ve found that passion, creating valuable content daily becomes fairly simple, as well as earning money from it, regardless of your location.
You just need to truly believe that you’re worth it.

For those who are interested, I have been paying extra attention to organizing my diet over the past few months. I’m currently consuming about 75% meat.
So today, I didn’t eat anything until 12 pm, when I had an entrecote and two pork chops.
Question: What do you mainly eat during the day between the two main meals (so between 12 and 6 pm)?
Nothing, or do you also include some fiber & fruit?
Just curious.
Ps. I believe that a healthy diet is just as important for absolute freedom as having a good financial situation and a strong family life.

Almost 24 hours later, I’m back on NOSTR due to my commitment (to myself) to post on NOSTR at least once a day, here’s today’s post:
It’s my “dad day” today, so we’re heading to the beach to play. Just as important as Bitcoin.
Lower your time preference—your kids are only young once.

Can you imagine what it was like to buy Bitcoin for 1 dollar?
No? Neither can I.
I was totally focused on other things and too clueless at the time to understand why Bitcoin would later become valuable.
But now, I can take advantage of NOSTR before it gains widespread recognition and usage.
So that when the time comes, I can benefit from all the value that will manifest on NOSTR.
And yes, I’ll definitely show this message as proof that I was onto something and smart enough to act on it this time. Also, to show that nobody cared back then, haha (with zero likes as evidence, of course 🤣👏🏼🤣)

How long before your (potential) clients are on NOSTR?
How long before people start discussing other topics besides Bitcoin/decentralization tech?
That will likely attract the masses a bit more. I’m really curious to see if NOSTR will follow the same adoption curve as Bitcoin in that regard.
We’re incredibly early.

2024-08-13 06:18:35

My wife and I both want to work out every day.
And we manage to do it.
Despite having two young children, it being summer vacation, never sending them away, and both running our own businesses.
What’s your excuse?
🔥👏🏼🔥

Just woke up here in the Netherlands and, of course, immediately read about the attack on Trump.
Sick world.
What now? Are they going to try again? It seems to be the only way for blue America to beat him… https://image.nostr.build/b50531301c48a73aff7f5b649468a66a9b923dd6e1cb781829fdb0dd237deec2.jpg

Not sure how many Dutchies are here on this platform already, but if you are..
Check out my latest (Dutch) podcast with Bert Slagter (from BitcoinAlpha):

Very cool episode where we discuss the current state of the (Western) economy and what we expect will happen in the near future 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Thanks for taking the time to respond 😁
I completely agree with you. In this case, for me, it’s another one of those “lower your time preference” situations because eventually, a large amount of value will indeed flow here, and I will be the one who got in “early” if I deliver value well and consistently.
I will do my best 🙏🏼.

2024-07-11 09:52:35

Every time after I listen to @npub1s05…eyhe on a podcast, I try to spend extra time on NOSTR purely because of his advice: “If you keep putting your time and energy into that other system, even if you’re kind of arguing against it, you’re still making it stronger.”
Well, if I remain primarily active on Twitter and LinkedIn, I’m guilty of that.
Challenge? My clients are mostly there, so I’m more or less forced to produce content there (too).
How do you all deal with this?

2024-06-18 11:53:02

Just published a Bitcoin episode with Bert de Groot from Bitcoin Brabant.
In Dutch..
Deliberately in Dutch since there is already so much high quality content in English and we feel that most Dutchies still prefer Dutch content..
This way we have more change to orange pill some newcomers 👏🏼👏🏼

My personal journey from “I buy Bitcoin to become fiat-rich” to “I save & spend in Bitcoin to help a new financial system succeed” has been long but very interesting.
Now that I run 2 full nodes and know how to open my own Lightning channel, I begin to understand how free it has made me.
This feeling helps me become a better Bitcoin educator whereas 2 years ago I already thought I knew a lot.
Well, I guess not.
Funny how, every time, you simply don’t know what you don’t know and believe you already know a lot once you’ve barely start studying a new topic (mount stupid is real).
It’s beautiful how one thing leads to another and how you realize that you shouldn’t rush the process but simply experience it consciously. Everything happens exactly as it should 👏🏼

2024-05-25 21:09:31

Strange how one day you can feel like everything is already set in motion and it could ignite at any moment, while the next moment it feels like we've barely made any progress and it will take another 10 years for people to realize it.

Was at Adopting #Bitcoin in Arnhem today.
Always fun to be amongst other Bitcoiners. Some interesting speakers & discussions so a good next step.
That said, lots of steps still need to be taking. Especially here in the Netherlands.
We can use some more energy & optimism if one were to ask me.

2024-01-15 10:50:15

Just finished a three day full spiritual trip, without internet connection/mobile phone, family, psychedelics or others substances..
Beside being around the best facilitators/teachers, it only you who have to do the work.
Connection & meditations only. 72 hours.
Result? Like magic. Can not put it into words.

What Bitcoin did

2024-01-08 11:23:51

True, agreed. That said, I facilitate my own little community in the Netherlands and, other countries like Dominican Republic, and even then lots of members are now interested in the spot ETF. Meaning I simply have to share knowledge & insights about that otherwise they will try to get it elsewhere. Also, I see an increasing amount of members lately. So let’s just say that it does help to wake people up :)

2024-01-08 11:20:13

Really have to start spending more time on NOSTR.
Breaking old habits is never easy.
For now I still run to X in the time that I have left after having done my prio’s.
Any hack/tips you have tried to change this automatic behavior?

I was gone for a while, it took too much time posting on Twitter, LinkedIn & creating content for my own community.
Then I heard the podcast with Matt Odell on WBD.
It’s time to put in the work on here again. It has to be the future.

2023-04-04 10:37:41

Is it true that I can fill it the same information twice at address & url?

Life is fucking amazing if you do surfing & Bitcoin.
Seriously, connecting with nature by performing sports & lowering your time preference with any choice you make..
It just makes everything else look simple.

2023-02-25 19:10:45

To be perfectly honest, I’m really just getting to really “grasp” why Nostr is so valuable.
Really, I (of course) understood the use case instantly but thinking about it more deeply lately made me realize that we, this army fighting for freedom, are actually unbeatable.
Wow. Goosebumps 🙏🏼

Checking out something like Nostr on a Friday night is not something the “old me” would have thought of as a good idea..
Well, more than 2 years of traveling the world all the while this plandemic clown show was going on has leveled up my consciousness in ways I couldn’t imagine.
I sincerely believe we have to act now. One of these things is get active on this decentralized form of media.
Let’s do this 🙏🏼

2023-02-19 00:57:21

Why do I feel that Bitcoin & NOSTR become more & more important by the day?
It’s like shit really is about to happen in places where “we” never thought it would.
Most people I know don’t care one bit if I talk about Nigeria, Libanon or Venezuela or some country like that. They truly believe it’s not possible in their own country.
What do you think?
Probability-wise?
Will it happen in Europe within a few years?

2023-02-17 00:07:42

Is it true that almost all movements (BLM, Feminism, Trans, etc) are here because they (global elite?) want them to be?
I start to believe that almost no one is genuinely fighting for these causes but are mostly doing so because they are told (subconsciously).
How wrong am I?
