Just had an insane 2 hour conversation at a pub in prague with a software engineer and mathematician…

The guy was soooo freaking close to getting it but was held up on “what makes bitcoin bitcoin” vs some fork or alternative with different parameters. 5 times I explained that if bitcoin forks, it’s no longer bitcoin.

We had a healthy honest and fruitful conversation he told me a bunch of crazy shit about the history of prague and this region… really enjoyed it but in the end I told him man, I feel really bad for you that you don’t have any bitcoin. Told him to try to keep an open mind and look at it again.

Maybe he will maybe he won’t, either way I had a fun time debating a guy with an iq far higher than mine.

Also funny he was only in town because of the Microsoft outage, he had to come to prague to work because he could use teams. lol. What a world.

I love the chaos of cycling through traffic in the city.

Got a little too close behind a car yesterday, the driver slammed the brakes and I slammed into the back left of the car.

Bruised my hand and left a fat scratch on some guy’s Audi q5. Driver didn’t even stop maybe didn’t even notice?

It’s risky business. I’d prefer avoiding trees in the mountains, but I was back out there today.

Going for a big ride tomorrow.

Discernment is another skill that separates the weak from the strong.

As we move forward in the 5th generation information war it’s paramount to think for yourself.

The smartest people you trust the most will steer you astray if you are not able to discern.

I find it notable how aggressive the pro ES people are if you state anything negative about the Bukele propaganda/complete farcical narrative that ES is freedom/bitcoin country.

Who’s gonna throw some hate my way? I’ve been to ES 3 times and supported many of the builders there, spent sats at tons of businesses.

There are fantastic grassroots projects, but if you live in a country with rule of law and individual freedom, probably stay put;)

It’s not that it’s a failure, it’s just that people need to know the truth before they make a big financial decision and get trapped in overpriced real estate or worse.

Got my hands on a bike in Prague. Life is good.

V For Vendetta Speech

All time scene if you ask me. So much packed into 3 minutes.

If you haven’t seen this film you must.
