The double-locked doors on those 24/7 Bitcoin ATMs feel like entering an airlock. A little nerve-wracking at first, but exactly what you want when escaping fiat. Kept the stack under the €1k limit to slide through with zero KYC

Taking a piece of Kraków back home! 🇵🇱⚡️
​Massive shoutout to artist Olga Litvinova and the crew at Gallery36. Picked up some incredible original local paintings to bring back after wrapping up the BTC conference.
​They even took the time to teach me how to carefully deconstruct the canvas from the frame so I can safely travel with them—an absolute game-changer for bringing art on a flight.
​I can't seem to find Olga on here, but I hope she's either already on the platform or finds her way over to Nostr soon. Incredible talent. 🎨

Still buzzing from BTC Prague 2026. First conference in the bag, and it absolutely delivered. 🇨🇿⚡️
​Got to see the whole community of bitcoiners in person for the first time, and the energy is incredibly inspiring. The signal-to-noise ratio is just entirely different when you're surrounded by people who actually get it and are building for the long term.
​Huge highlight was getting to meet Ben from @BTC Sessions absolute legend.
​Conviction has never been higher.

Walking around Krakow and it’s hard not to notice how normalized Bitcoin ATMs have become here. They’re in major malls like Galeria Krakowska and M1, gas stations, and standalone 24/7 spots right in the Old Town.
​While the EU pushes harder on financial surveillance, it’s good to see physical cash-to-BTC infrastructure surviving and thriving in Polish cities. Cash in, sats out.

Couldn’t agree more. Part of my strategy was to purchase btc ETFs to offset my taxes with tax deferred accounts, but I would still be at the mercy of government money. Finding examples in history where redeeming gold for fiat was no longer possible from one day to the next is an eye opener

Fiat under the gold standard was only redeemable in calm times. WWI, Great Depression, Vietnam/Nixon — all suspended redemption. If governments could flip the switch then, they’ll flip it again now. Bitcoin fixes this

Makes me question my strategy with Bitcoin etfs.

That is what is mentioned with 'no counterpart risk' or being a final settlement. "Not your Keys, Not your Coins" One of the key properties of sound money. Al least now you understand. Whatever you decide you know the risks. Compared to those who don't have a clue, that is a huge advantage !
