All the way on the right side a young father is writing down his proposed topic (Bitcoin education as a family) on a white board. The hands raised indicate those interested in attending that session. Once all proposals are written down we sort through them, combining similar ones and adding the most popular ones to the schedule. <br/><br/>This is the fourth unconfrence we have co-hosted this year (Kenya, Czechia &amp; Indonesia already) and each one is different in so nany ways, each having a local flavor. This is the first of the year in Spanish for example. The commonality is that each one is a tangible demostration that a better eorld isn&#39;t just possible, but already emerging if you know where to look. <br/><br/>LFG! <br/><br/><br/><br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/72b3967083c8655c4cc78e617c910502f4fc736dbe4458ea695b182346cb0b43.jpg"> 2026-09-12T16:59:02Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsyhmqqfcysta8ul4gfnshq7qldetlw9y9u5mmjwa7cjqu45sug7hszypr5m58v4v4hhwlgptu8p7590qnxaujp94yg2q5hm4rj8hyaa9vww8unq0m Back in New York after a busy few days at <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qqsphtcc46rrelvptfm4c2y58k85alnam0lfu773mgwdmtynka0zspsql7emy" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>thebitcoinconf</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…7emy</span>)</a></span><br/><br/>I&#39;m not just aware of the critiques against the conference; i share many of them<br/><br/>But I&#39;ve come to see this conf as i see Bitcoin itself: there is an increasingly large segment I have issue with: for example, how much trust &amp; faith to put into politicans (zero from me). However, this is part of mass adoption. As Bitcoin grows more and more people will join the community and they will look less and less like the monetary rebels &amp; revolutionaries that were the main demographic in the early days<br/><br/>I still haven&#39;t fully accepted that Bitcoin is my enemies money too, but it is and will increasingly be. This conf puts up a big tent, maybe the biggest in the space. Plenty gets included in that that i dont like, but im glad it exists<br/><br/>See you in 2027<br/> <br/><br/><br/><br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/94a7fa1d90e2760e6b668cab65e9aeb1f870196e9f23f5cbe94714dab79b8d54.jpg"> 2026-05-02T20:34:33Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsg8agxmy6jqs5aty5hcxtqkg0l243nvrhle4eq6lqg920dlkwaydqzypr5m58v4v4hhwlgptu8p7590qnxaujp94yg2q5hm4rj8hyaa9vwwx39spc The 111 page report the IMF released last night about it&#39;s recent loan agreement with El Salvador gives A LOT of details and clarity<br/><br/>Not only will El Salvador have to stop buying Bitcoin, they will also have yo stop mining Bitcoin<br/><br/>this is the first time I&#39;ve seen the prohibition on public Bitcoin mining here<br/><br/> <img src="https://m.primal.net/PTdT.jpg"> 2025-03-04T15:17:24Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs0gsz66s7ghtzzr5at0khwq3kukf8mdlsrtytpdf2rrysr6aeghpczypr5m58v4v4hhwlgptu8p7590qnxaujp94yg2q5hm4rj8hyaa9vwwzcx76r Good morning from El Salvador<br/><br/>We are now in DAY SIXTEEN since the government rescinded Bitcoin as legal tender, at the request of the IMF (effective 30 April)<br/><br/>I&#39;ve spent a lot of time trying to explain whats happening because most people, including bitcoiners, do not understand how the IMF works and the influence it has over nations. I&#39;ve also been very vocal in part because there was so much silence and censorship around an important subject<br/><br/>It should now be clear how strongly I oppose this agreement and why, so let&#39;s talk about solutions<br/><br/>While I&#39;ve been ranting, the team at <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub17cyatz6z2dzcw6xehtcm9z45m76lde5smxdmyasvs00r4pqv863qrs4ml3" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>myfirstbitcoin</span> (<span class="italic">npub17cy…4ml3</span>)</a></span> has been building <br/><br/>Since this law was passed they have taught around 1,000 new students in El Salvador, trained a new group of teachers and built new curriculum. And that&#39;s just domestic. This is all while building out a global infrastructure that makes this movement less reliant on any one jurisdiction<br/><br/>The team has always evolved over the years and generally trended toward improvement but this current 2025 iteration has broken through to a new level and it&#39;s inspiring to witness<br/><br/>Grassroots, independent &amp; decentralized is the way<br/><br/>The IMF deal is still a big deal and its still important to learn about whats happening there and draw attention to it, but the real change will be from the bottom up.
