Day 1/21 at the ECB. August 1st marks #Bitcoin Independence Day. @SpontaneousOrder @₿.R.E.A.M and others celebrated their independence from fiat currencies by forming a #HumanBlockchain at the premises of the European Central Bank. Their courage to put their bodies where injustice happens will never be forgotten. After the rain washed most of my fellows away, I had a fruitful discussion Lisa, a trainee at the ECB, interested in climate justice, anticapitalism and the ideas of Yanis Varufakis. 🪧: "Our presence symbolizes freedom" a German acronym for UASF. image
Here are the 12 consensus rules for the #HumanBlockchain: Embodiment of these rules is the main goal of participation. 1. Permissionless Entry Anyone may join or leave the chain at any time — freely, without approval. 2. Nonviolent by Design We remain calm, still, and silent. No confrontation, no slogans, no escalation. 3. Decentralized Authority No leaders, no spokespeople, no center. All participants are equal nodes. 4. Mesh-Only Messaging Speak softly and only to immediate neighbors. Information flows hop-by-hop, like a human mesh network. 5. Sovereign Identity No names, credentials, or affiliations required. Anonymity and pseudonymity are protected. 6. Immutability in Presence Once you’ve taken a place, hold your ground. Stillness is strength; movement is signal. 7. Censorship Resistance No one may silence, redirect, or override another. Presence and expression are voluntary and inviolable. 8. Voluntary Forking Any node may silently disconnect from others who breach consensus — without drama, judgment, or conflict. 9. Decentralized Replication New chains, clusters, or forks may form anywhere. There is no single point of failure or protest. 10. Non-Obstruction Principle The chain does not block roads, doors, or flows. It coexists with the environment, like open-source code. 11. Proof-of-Presence We make no demands. Our physical presence is our message. Visibility is our verification. 12. Code Is Conduct We don’t persuade — we verify. Our rules live through action, not argument. image
Bring friends and tents! #HumanBlockchain image
Real estate on a #Bitcoin standard: Worth >100M sats or <100M sats? image

This is what my lens catches when walking through Munich.
I’ve just texted almost every activist I ran into over the last two years to join the #HumanBlockchain. Let’s see what will happen 👀 image
Invitation to Liberation (Aug 1st, 13:12,📍European Central Bank) If you want the revolution to gain traction, you gotta follow this call, to non-violent direct action. Because trust me, there won’t be much of a fight, when we have the courage to unbreakably unite. If you care about peace and love or the consequences of environmental degradation, If you suffer the costs of ever higher inflation, If you think that privacy and freedom must be protected, Or if you just wanna tell your kids that at the crossroad’s you acted. Then you should find your way to the ECB, We’ll hold hands, sing chants, dream lucidly, I know I’ll be there on August 1st, I’ll share water and wisdom to fill your thirst. Because I want to live in a world where I see: peaceful public alignment against central banking tyranny. I’ve been there alone in 23 and 24, but I know that out there, there are so many more, who are longing to taste the future, and are willing to dare. If otherwise, why would I even care? Join the #HumanBlockchain, the pinnacle of peaceful public protest events! Consider to share this poem with your colleagues, neighbors, followers, family and friends. And please also remind them to bring their own tents. All central-banks are broke, let’s start the amends! image
Whenever someone asks me about the ECB governors discussing monetary policy…
