This was one of the best experiences of my life—true bird flight 🦅 Thanks @Lugano Plan ₿ / @LuganoPlanB (RSS Feed) for bringing me back to Switzerland 🇨🇭 Over and above your rational treatment of #bitcoin at the canton level, you’ve made it hard for me not to return…quickly! Maybe I can convince the team to join me next time 😜

And it’s only going to get easier! The right kind of progress ⚡️
As Nietzsche once said, “All truly great thoughts are conceived while walking.” 🚶♂️✨
At the beginning of the year, I took a walk that changed everything. I met Jacob Piotrowski—better known as Endo Rivers—the founder of @BitcoinWalk. That encounter set off a chain reaction that's been reshaping my entire life.
I’d been following blockchain technology for years but kept my distance from the crypto craze—it always seemed like trading baseball cards. I knew Bitcoin was different, but I hadn’t fully grasped why.
When Endo invited me to join a BitcoinWalk in Edinburgh, I saw it as the perfect chance to dig deeper. The idea is straightforward yet profound: gather people, get moving, have real conversations. 🏞️🚶♂️🚶♀️🌞
On that walk, I met Gary Devenay, an incredible sounding board who helped me piece together what I’d been learning. Thanks to his encouragement, I picked up 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒊𝒕𝒄𝒐𝒊𝒏 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒓𝒅, and soon enough, I was attending weekly walks and devouring books like 𝑩𝒊𝒕𝒄𝒐𝒊𝒏 𝑰𝒔 𝑽𝒆𝒏𝒊𝒄𝒆 by @allen, and discovering new layers of understanding.
A few months later, I’m doing my part to bring people together through @npub1qtncu... running weekly meetups ahead of opening a dedicated workspace in the New Year.
With a pre-commitment from Allen's VC firm, Axiom, to be our first business tenant and an investment application underway with @Lugano Plan ₿ / @LuganoPlanB (RSS Feed) (whose annual forum I'll be attending this week), we’re focused on hitting our pre-launch occupancy targets to make it happen 🏢✅
But it’s not just about business—it’s about building a community where ideas and people unite to create something greater than the sum of its parts. Every conversation and every step brings us closer to realising that vision: for #bitcoin to become the "𝘨𝘭𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘭 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘵-𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘤𝘢𝘴𝘩," as aptly put by TVP.

I’m Robbie, founder of @npub1qtncu..., an Edinburgh-based private office, coworking, and event space built for Bitcoin businesses and enthusiasts.

I’m incredibly bullish on Bitcoin for 2025—but not just because of the price.

Every day, there’s a new app launch or another BTC startup securing funding. The space is exploding.
The potential for collaboration is massive. And when great minds join forces, they create something far bigger than would be possible on their own.
For those of us who truly understand Bitcoin, it's not just about personal financial gain. We’re out there networking, building systems, and launching ventures to accelerate Bitcoin adoption—bringing the benefits of the world’s hardest money to everyone, faster.
Right now, I’m helping #bitcoin businesses come together in Edinburgh. Beyond its reputation as a finance hub, the city is becoming a hotbed for Bitcoin-native innovation. Together, we will be greater than the sum of our parts.
This Friday, I’m dropping my latest blog: ‘𝑭𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑰𝒔𝒔𝒖𝒆𝒔 𝑯𝒐𝒍𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑩𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝑩𝒊𝒕𝒄𝒐𝒊𝒏-𝑵𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝑩𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒔 (𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑨𝑳𝑳 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑭𝒊𝒙𝒆𝒔)’.
I can’t wait to share it with you.
