This moment holds so much meaning. I’m standing surrounded by the first 244 pieces of bamboo cured by the Cofán community of El Diviso. Each one represents a shift. A confirmation that transformation is possible when people take change into their own hands. What began as a learning process became a realization. Everything they need is already in their land. From learning how to cut and cure bamboo, to processing it to the right size, to shaping it into their first creation together, the community workshop. This was not easy work. It took patience, trust, and consistency. And it all happened in just six months. Six months ago this was only a vision. Today it stands as proof. Can you imagine one year from now? Five years into the future? This is how regeneration begins. We are TerraKeepers, The Giveback Generation! Thanks you @jaimepenastudio for your unconditional support throughout this process.
We believe real change starts from within. Yes, this community needs the support of visionary partners and experts who help guide the process, but the ones creating the transformation are the people themselves. This was our first meeting with @jaimepenastudio, who from day one offered to design and guide the creation of the community house, “La Caseta”. We are standing inside the workshop that was built with materials from their own land. Today it serves as the carpentry shop where bamboo is cut and prepared for everything the village is rebuilding. This moment is a reminder that when a community comes together, possibility opens. Change becomes real. image
The process of building the Community House for the Cofán Nation of El Diviso has been humbling. It’s not just about bamboo, design, or construction. It’s about rebuilding trust after years of broken promises, and helping a community believe again in what’s possible when we work together. Through the process, I’ve realized that transformation doesn’t start with tools or funding — it starts with belief. Read the full story on Substack 🌿 “It All Starts with a Belief” image
This is Taita Otoniel one of the spiritual leaders of the Cofán community of El Diviso. He comes from an unbroken lineage of healers and wisdom keepers who have safeguarded these lands, waters, and medicines for generations. Their knowledge is not something learned from books. It is lived, transmitted, and embodied through ceremony, relationship, and devotion to life. Today, many in the modern world are searching for healing, balance, and harmony. What they are longing for has been preserved here for centuries. Yet these ancient lineages are at risk. The exploitation of their territory is forcing younger generations to leave in search of opportunity. When youth are pushed into cities, the transmission of millenary wisdom breaks. And when the guardians leave the land, it becomes vulnerable to oil, mining, and illicit exploitation. TerraKeepers is acting now. By supporting families directly and creating real opportunities rooted in the land, we help ensure these lineages continue and these territories remain protected. This is about preserving wisdom. Protecting the Earth. And honoring those who have been doing so long before us.
My thoughts on BTC Histórico in El Salvador, the first state organized Bitcoin conference. No one can deny that feeling the state, the president of a nation, openly backing Bitcoin is historic. Until now, most BTC gatherings have been hosted by tech rebels and financial freedom seekers. This time the venue was the Royal Palace and the National Theater, two of the most symbolic government buildings in the country. It gave the whole experience a royal feeling. In El Salvador, Bitcoin is no longer something to hide or discuss quietly. It has become a source of pride. But here is the question that kept rising. Are the people of El Salvador part of this movement? In my conversations with @Chris , one truth was clear. A top to bottom approach will not carry Satoshi’s dream. It is inspiring to see a president embrace Bitcoin, yet the real test is whether the people are included. And during this event, they were almost nowhere to be found. Uber drivers told me they had no idea what Bitcoin is. The few shops that accept it mostly do it for tourists, not because of understanding or empowerment. This is not a complaint. It is a reminder. A system cannot succeed without its people. Otherwise it risks becoming something that benefits only the top one percent. The path forward is simple. Education. Integration. Bottom up participation. Bitcoin belongs to everyone, or it belongs to no one.
Grateful every day for how Bitcoin and freedom tech have transformed my life. But a big question keeps rising… what about the marginalized communities far from the cities, the ones cut off not only from banks but from the entire financial system? Through my work with @TerraKeepers I’ve seen how powerful it is when we share knowledge and bring sats to Indigenous communities who would otherwise be left behind in this global shift. Don’t wait for someone else. Take the step. Share Satoshi’s gift with those who need it most. #Bitcoin #FreedomTech #GivebackGeneration image
As the age of digital “everything” accelerates— driven by those who fear true freedom— it’s worth asking: How prepared are you to operate outside their game? Your wealth. Your assets. Your nationality. Can they move with you? Can they withstand censorship? Can they support you in sovereignty? These aren’t abstract questions anymore. They’re sovereignty questions 💪
GM 🌱 One of the things I’ve come to love most is introducing Bitcoin to people who know nothing about it. There’s something powerful about sitting with someone, meeting them where they are, and finding the words that make it click. It’s not just a hobby for me—it feels like a mission. Because I believe freedom isn’t meant for a few. Heaven, paradise… it’s for all, or it’s for none. And in Satoshi’s Ark, there’s space for everyone willing to step aboard. #Bitcoin #FreedomTech #Sovereignty #Nostr #Primal #SatoshisArk image
Lately I’ve been reflecting on how easy it is to talk about freedom… and how to be fully aligned with this frequency. Bitcoin. Nostr. Primal. These aren’t just tools—they’re responsibilities. No one’s coming to save us. We have to choose—every day—what systems we feed. The ones that extract… or the ones that empower. And sometimes that choice feels inconvenient, lonely, or even overwhelming. But I keep choosing. Because I know what’s at stake. This tech gives us a way forward. Let’s not waste it.
🔥 GM Primal 🧘🏽‍♂️📲 For the first time ever, we’re weaving a BTC Technology Workshop into our transformational retreat. Why? Because let’s be real — You can chant all day, align your chakras, activate kundalini and sip from the cosmic cup of source… But if you’re still enslaved by the fiat system, if you don’t understand the tools of sovereignty, you’re not free. This is the moment we bridge the spiritual and the technical — inner liberation meets outer infrastructure. 🛰️✨ Decentralize your soul AND your savings. Because full-spectrum freedom requires both.
