Had an informative rest day at the System Change Camp, visiting workshops of composing protest songs, discussing decentralized individual public collective direct action, learning about the structure supporting modern sexism and playing Wizard with friendly strangers who seemed like strangely familiar friends. When I took this picture I thought about solar mining, gotta bring one of these to the next system change camp. image
Day 21 at the ECB. Year 3 completed. Happy Bitcoin Infinity Day 🥳 @Knut Svanholm ∞/21M ♾️/21M found his way onto today’s sign. Bitcoiners are a special breed, I got reminded of that early into my shift when Darren, an OG from the US showed me how he brandmarked himself 4 times with a Bitcoin logo. The scars are his proof. After he left I got some cookies and mate from a girl that had heard of me through friends and wanted to leave some support. A little later my favorite group of activists showed up, who were performing earlier that day on a democracy festival, the antifascist grandmas brought wisdom, curiosity and snacks that would help me through the day. Then Ozan stayed for some time, talking about Bitcoin and perpetual traveling. While we were talking a motorcycle stopped in front of us, a guy in suit hopped of and asked me to open my Lightning Wallet. He was gone as soon as the donation settled, lightning fast. Michael, a local, was suggesting to put up a statue a my spot, since he thinks that I’ll be missed by the community. Daniel who’s in town for the System Change Camp dropped by for some meditative session listening to the latest @TFTC video on repeat. It’s a great mantra to manifest #Bitcoin adoption in front of the central bank. In the afternoon @Fidel dropped by and asked whether all the people carrying chairs were actually building the #HumanBlockchain. Turns out the symphony orchestra had an open air gig at the river. We enjoyed to watch the flow of passersby’s. Some trainees from the ECB tried to invite me for a beer during my bio break, but I couldn’t leave my companions for too long. Charles, who does MiCA regulation asked me about the 51% attack on Monero and was suspicious of KYC regulation, because of potential Data Hacks. Tom closed the evening with a ukulele Impro session. All in all, it’s been a great time. Resistance is building. I’ve been talking to many people from all parts of life. I’m immensely grateful for all the support I’ve received. I’m standing on the shoulders of giants, and my persistence is only a small contribution to a bigger puzzle we’re all trying to solve collectively. Tomorrow I got a "rest" day at the climate camp next public action on #SaturdayForSatoshi.
(Un)popular opinion: Most Bitcoiners are Fiatlings with a superiority complex.

Day 18 at the ECB. AC/DC vibes from yesterday found its way into today’s sign. While drawing I spoke to someone working on fiscal policy and liquidity. Then a jazz teacher from Dr. Hochs dropped by to say hi, we’ve met each other at the Cologne meetup before. After that I was approached by a double agent, working on the inside but leaving a fat #zap on the outside. We talked a bit about stablecoins etc. Then I got companionship by Alphabärchen, a Bitcoiner from the south, who was in Frankfurt to renew his passport. Read about me in the newspaper, and thought he’d drop by. The stories he told me could probably fill a book alone. Going from nothing to anything, but still living like a true pleb. Thanks for companionship and restocking Mate and Nuts. In the evening I listened to "Momo" a story of a girl that helps humanity get back time from the time thieves dressed in grey suits. Had goosebumps because the story fits this place so well. image
If hyperbitcoinization is a marathon, I’m training for a sub 2:10h time.
Week 107 with #SaturdaysForSatoshi at the HQ of the European Central Bank lasted from 12:12 till 21:21. We are all Satoshi and the decentralized revolution will be unstoppable when each Saturday one Satoshi spawns in front of each bank. image
Then we have a selection of true followers, who kept me company throughout today and the days before. Fidel, Charlotte and Max 🧡
Got a few more participants over the hours. Next ones are Oskar and Milo image
Just had Jürgen Schaaf, Head of FUD, at ECB drop by. He asked me to take a picture with him. Which is iconic, because today’s sign reads: "Never trust a cartel bankster!" Sadly his friend/collegue didn’t have the balls to airdrop me the pictures, so you guys gotta be patient.
