Recent Notes
The POW LAB is the headquarters of @Bitcoin Basin. NZ
A place where we not only host Bitcoin workshops for the local community, but also welcome Bitcoiners and open-source builders from all over the world, offering them a desk to work on freedom technologies.
This space is only possible thanks to the generosity and collaboration among Bitcoiners. And because of that, we couldnt miss the opportunity to bring in some of the outstanding work created by the people we met in El Salvador during @PlanBElsalvador :
• The beautiful original painting by @LewickiBartosz portraying the unstoppable honey badger against the fiat system
• Bitcoin Circular Economies: documenting grassroots Bitcoin adoption and how it empowers communities and individuals around the world by @ivan_kaleja, @GabrielKurman, @b4_humanity
• Bitcoin Prophecy: What Argentina Can Teach You About Your Money by @arielaguilar
• Bitcoin Para Negocios: a practical guide for merchants, created by @Evelynlemus2906 and implemented in @BitcoinBerlinSV
(especially relevant given the strong Latin American community in QT)
All of these are now part of the community library, available for anyone to read and admire.
If you’re coming to Queenstown, make sure to come and check out the amazing POW LAB! A fantastic place to connect and build. (https://powlab.nz/)

For all Business owners in Queenstown that do not accept Bitcoin yet.
An informative talk designed to help everyone understand Bitcoin.
A charitable event since all tickets will be donated to the local Community Centre Happiness House.

What to believe and who to trust when everything we see on a screen can be faked?
You verify.
That’s why we travelled across El Salvador for two weeks, the first country in history to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender.
What we witnessed gave us tremendous hope.
A country that only a few years ago had one of the highest crime rates in the world is now safe for locals and visitors alike.
We spoke with many locals who lived through the change.
Every single one told us the same thing: life is much better now.
Many thanked Bukele for it.
We saw Bitcoin being accepted across the country, from large venues to small market stalls, made possible by the efforts of passionate and dedicated Bitcoiners.
We are so glad we timed our visit with the incredible Plan B Forum because it allowed us to meet innovators we admire, connect with amazing Bitcoiners from around the world and visit circular economies.
Satoshi realigned the incentives for a better future.
El Salvador followed and is already reaping the rewards.
Seeing it with your own eyes changes everything.
The rails of a new financial system are being built right now, one that doesn’t discriminate and gives anyone the ability to save and plan for the future.
You can watch from the sidelines…or you can become part of one of the greatest peaceful revolutions in human history.
We are more motivated than ever to do our part: helping build @Bitcoin Basin. NZ circular economy in Queenstown and spreading #Bitcoin education across all New Zealand.

Loved it! Inspiring presentation, great to connect! So beautiful to see Bitcoin at Well fest! 💞
Thank you Jonna! Lovely to meet another Bitcoiner at Wellfest! You have a new friend in Queenstown :)
We are born into an oppressive system.
Education is the path to freedom.
Follow the white rabbit.

Nacemos en un sistema opresivo.
La educación es el camino a la libertad.
Seguí al conejo blanco.

We just witnessed in real time how Open Claw can:
• Make phone calls on your behalf, using your voice.
• Build a webpage in minutes.
• Create its own Bitcoin wallet and send/receive sats.
From here, there are only two options:
An exciting path, if we pay attention and adapt.
An unsettling path, if we decide to ignore whats happening.
We all have a choice to make.
Thank you, Sean and @Rob , for an outstanding presentation at Pow Lab Queenstown.

“The outcome of World Bank and the IMF policies on the Third World has been remarkably similar to what was experienced under traditional imperialism: wage deflation, a loss of autonomy, and agricultural dependency. The big difference is that, in the new system, the sword and the gun have been replaced by weaponized debt.”
After reading “Hidden Repression: How the IMF and World Bank Sell Exploitation as Development” by @gladstein , you realize that some international organizations, while pretending to be a helping hand, may actually be the boot that prevents developing countries from standing up and thriving.
Many real cases are documented in the book, but one thing in particular stands out and should undeniably raise a red flag (or at least an eyebrow): the billions of dollars loaned by these institutions to authoritarian regimes all over the world.
It is hard enough to hold democratically elected officials accountable, imagine dictators who care only about power and violence.
What do you think they will do when borrowing money they do not have to repay themselves? As always, the ones who pay the price are the most vulnerable.
I started reading this book in El Salvador while visiting blossoming Bitcoin circular economies such as Bitcoin Beach and @BitcoinBerlínSV . Witnessing them firsthand is powerful, they are living proof that Bitcoin realigns incentives and, in doing so, helps prevent this kind of abuse from taking place.
That is one of the many reasons why Bitcoin is hope.

If you are visiting El Salvador, you must get in touch with @Napoleon Osorio
Napo will sort you out with:
•Airport transfers
•Vehicle rentals
•Tours to circular economies such as El Zonte, Berlin, Santa Ana and more, where you can see firsthand how Bitcoin is reshaping communities.
Being able to pay for everything with #bitcoin is not even the best part, having a friendly, professional, and reliable local is.
We will definitely get in touch again when we return to El Salvador.
Gracias Napo!

From New Zealand to El Salvador.
Thousands of kilometres, multiple security checks and border crossings… but always in full control.
No third party can stop you from accessing your money.
No one can devalue it.
You can transact with anyone.
It’s a new era, but most people are completely unaware. Thats why education is key.
Use hardware wallets to keep your #Bitcoin private keys offline and increase your security. The Bluetooth feature on the Jade by @nprofile1q... is pretty handy when travelling.
Thank you #planbelsalvador for an epic conference. We are definitely coming back next year.
