Is there already a date planned for the next cohort?

#Bitcoin #Vilnius #BitcoinWalk

Good morning 🌄 #nostr

Hot take for Bitcoin Whitepaper Day.

You don't own Bitcoin.

You just know a private key.

The blockchain is decentralized and public - no one owns it.

You don't "hold" your sats.

You simply know something valuable.

And others might know it too.

Ownership is knowledge.

Change my mind 👇

#plebchain #thoughtstr

Good morning 🌄 #nostr

A sovereign man doesn't retreat to a mountain, he brings mountain consciousness to the family table.

My family is my spiritual path.

Today I am continuing my #sovereignwalk not alone anymore, but with my beautiful wife 🧡

Preparing for winter 🫐

Good morning 🌄 #nostr

Practice sovereignty without seeking escape.

Sovereignty isn't about minimizing responsibility - it's about optimizing HOW we meet responsibilities so we can be fully present.

#mindstr #sovereigntywalk

Good morning 🌄 #nostr

Day 3 of #sovereigntywalk

Trust that presence itself is productive.

Day 2 of #sovereigntywalk

The beautiful thought after being 21km into.

Give ourselves a present 🎁

Good morning 🌄 #nostr

Perfectionism is the enemy of sovereignty.

If every time we achieve something, we immediately look what could be better, we get trapped optimizing instead of celebrating and moving forward.

True freedom = do the work achieve 80% celebrate release next thing

A sovereign person completes things.

#sovereigntywalk #mindstr

Good morning 🌄 #nostr

Day 1 - Starting my 100km+ #sovereigntywalk

Just walk, think, reflect

Can someone help me understand

?

I am interested in running a routstr node:

• Should I have nostr relay already?
• What should be my minimal system requirements?
• Can I run only local models from a machine or proxy public APIs like Open AI, Gemini, Grok, etc.?

#asknostr

Resilience in #Bitcoin comes from network.

Resilience in organizations comes from data.

Is AI already reshaping how many developers we actually need?

https://blog.bitvocation.com/p/bitcoin-job-market-update-august-75e

Developer roles dropped to just 18% in August - the lowest in months.

The key question - is this temporary or the start of a trend?

But this isn't only in the #Bitcoin #jobs market, the signs are everywhere: 🔸Developer jobs at 5 year lows 🔸Salaries not growing like they used to 🔸Nearly all developers use AI nowadays 🔸Companies offering Agentic platforms to replace workforce 24/7

Curious what you think 🤔

Good morning 🌄 #nostr

Are you heading in the right direction?

When we choose the right path, we can go with the flow..

Alternatively, we may go against the current, with an ineffective boat, perhaps in the wrong river at all.

Why life should be difficult? Contrary, I would say everything we want should come with ease.

That's what we should seek for.

Good morning 🌄 #nostr

Right now is the best time for a quantum leap.

It's about changing our focus from what we want to take from life or what we hope is waiting for us..

but on what we CHOOSE TO GIVE.

What will be your #proofofwork here?

#mindstr

That's a power move!

Responsibility = Freedom.

In the end, if you want a little bit freedom, you take a bit of responsibility..

But if you want ultimate freedom, you take ultimate responsibility.

Always.

Good morning 🌄 #nostr

When I awake, the world awakes too..

That is literally saying that when there is at least a single #Bitcoin node in the world, Bitcoin is alive.

You can shut down all the countries, cities, big mining institutions and their nodes — but if there is at least one node somewhere that is awake, the entire network is awake.

Think for a moment how powerful that is.

Credits to my wife for the thought 🧡

Keep running your node, keep stacking and keep creating circular economies.

#mindstr

In events like this, everyone is contributing their part, without waiting for permission - some organizing all venues, others put creating calm oasis on the side and in the end you just take a walk and relax, that's Bitcoin ethos in action

Good morning 🌄 #nostr

What are 3 words you want your employers, clients or customers to associate you in Bitcoin industry with?

Here are mine..

Data. That's a broad description what I like in tech world. I like to manage data and help others to be better connected because of data.

Purpose. I look for purpose and I want to see a purpose driven actions in others.

Human-Centered. It's human behind everything and it should be put in front of any technology, company, etc.

There is no need to be in Helsinki this weekend to pay in Bitcoin

You can do that in the middle of the woods and pay for delicious pizzas by jogosvirtuve.lt

Sending e-cash over bitchat. How exactly can I do that?

#plebchain #bhb2025

is growing.

We've just launched a new website - https://www.bitvocation.com/ not because we love websites… but because we want to make it faster, easier and smoother for Bitcoiners to join the movement - the job seeker movement for #Bitcoin #careers.

No, it's not a full platform yet. But it's designed to help Bitcoiners like you: 🔸 Join the #POWLab (now with Lightning - thanks, Flash!) 🔸 Learn what we're all about 🔸 Stay closely connected to our mission and vision

If you've been thinking about becoming serious about working in Bitcoin, now is a great time to start. 🌱 Plant seeds early and prepare for the next phase.

We're not a job board. We're building The Talent Stack for Hyperbitcoinization.

#Bitcoin is not about only HODLing, it's about using it as it was designed to - peer to peer electronic cash.

My first brick and mortar merchant 🇱🇹 onboarded 🎉

This young man is selling various fruits and vegetables, we call him "Watermelon Guy".

Soon to be visible on BTC map too.

P.S. your zaps ⚡will be sent to the merchant as a welcome from Bitcoin community

In #Bitcoin.. #proofofwork everything

What is the best feeling when you buy products?

When you can pay in Bitcoin.. and no, it's not only happening in Madeira

That's right, all that from my newly onboarded merchant in Lithuania 🇱🇹

How do one actually live on Bitcoin in Europe?

1. You can exchange Bitcoin to EUR via services like Bringin or
   npub1wvspcey…cv33pu

2. Or you can buy gift cards via services like Bitrefill
3. But the last is much better, you build local circular community that accepts Bitcoin.

#Bitcoin #jobs market report is our contribution to the Bitcoin community.

Built on the Bitcoin ethos, like transparency and truth, based on the actual #data.

Whether you're a Bitcoiner looking for meaningful work or a company looking to hire mission-driven talent, this could be your starting point.

What is the best thing about #BitcoinWalk when all your participants are your family?

Quality time.

#plebchain #proofofwalk

Young merchant is selling watermelons, strawberries and cherries. The quality is top-notch.

He is open to accept Bitcoin 🎉

What help should I offer him? Just a regular LN wallet + Bitcoin accepted here sign?

What do you do when onboarding merchants?

Can someone explain more what

is?

Is it a:

• I spend 6 weeks building something new with people I meet there? Or b:
• I just spend 6 weeks building whatever I want, alone or in a team? It's just that I am surounded with other freedom maximalists. Or c?

#asknostr

Our job feeds are the first step in getting a job in Bitcoin. For some, like

it is enough.

For others they need to become more findable and build their proof of work first - then #POWLab is a great choice. Leave a comment and I will zap ⚡ you with a link to share the details.

And thank you

that you work 24 / 7, even while we sleep 💤

I had a realization recently that I want to share here.

To truly benefit from services like Bringin or

you need to have an income in Bitcoin.

In order to spend Bitcoin, you have to earn Bitcoin.

To put it simply.

That's why you need a job in #Bitcoin.

#jobs #jobstr #bitvocation

is it possible to receive on-chain Bitcoin to my LN wallet on AlbyHub Cloud? Also swap on-chain to LN. And send on-chain to another wallet on-chain?

Good morning 🌄 #nostr

I am grateful to have a chance to be a part of purple 💜 and orange 🧡 movement.

So as to be a Bitcoiner from Lithuania 🇱🇹 - we are becoming more active and it's great to see the momentum growing!

Jeigu esi iš Lietuvos ir norėtum būtų pridėtas prie savų, lauksiu tavo žinutės.

#plebchain #BTCLT

How is the app on nostr called, where people can create communities, i.e. country based, so it helps with a discoverability of users for new joiners and everyone ultimately?

#asknostr

Bitcoin is not only money, but also an idea, a law or a principle - in more common terminology - a protocol.

While most Bitcoin related is happening on a digital realm, we need to balance with physical contact.

That's why I am fully onboard to:

• Build local communities
• Participate in conferences or events
• Going on a walk with other Bitcoiners

Do you want to join me on a next one?

#proofofwalk

Good morning 🌄 #nostr

I was thinking earlier today.

If I create Bitcoin association in my country. How would I image its mission?

Something what would help to unite the Bitcoin-only community in Lithuania 🇱🇹 by nurturing values of:

• Freedom
• Responsibility
• Transparency
• Decentralization

To empower families and businesses to build sovereign and resilient society.

Lithuania - is heart of Bitcoin in Europe.

Neutral. Prosperous. Rooted in both - nature and innovation.

Do you have Bitcoin associations in your country?

Follow

or listen to this podcast, it can help you get started.

It was one of the most interesting conversations I've listened to recently.

And no, it's not because I'm biased, it's because it has this warm, genuine feel, where no one is trying to sell you anything.

Just two people talking about what they love.
