Only 8 made it (plus some runner up contacted in case the first won't confirm)

Why only 8 over 12 places for the finalists?

We reserved 4 places for 3 special events:

• the summer school hackathon which already selected a project in July (🇳🇮)

• 2 finalists will be selected from the Lugano semifinal on the 14th of October

• 1 finalist will be selected from the RGB hackathon in Turin (17/18 of October)

P.s. I would have chosen every single of you if it was on me, but the judges had to judge https://npub1ydxytlu95vwpn0m3pzn507nma8x5472u043pupcgpj3dvcamglfql6rlcw.blossom.band/37f365cea361b4dc817f75ffe3084cbe0f8fbb732c11c42694229285c6625ec2.png

Bitcoin can do more than replace fiat payments.

It can unlock entirely new ways to transfer value and even change human behavior.

A new episode of A New Block featuring Roy Sheinfeld is out now. We talk about Lightning, building what doesn’t exist yet, leaving a fiat job behind, finding purpose,

and, of course, Lugano.

Check it out, it’s a very special one.

Privacy is not a given.

You have to defend it every day. Just like you brush your teeth. Without privacy, there are no human rights.

In this block with

we talked about Bitcoin, private payments, digital authoritarianism, data weaponization, chat control... and chocolate and

In this episode, I sit down with

, another incredible bitcoiner who doesn't need any presentation.

It's funny that we recorded this podcast while I was on my very long sabbatical with my podcast and now I restarted again and Preston is taking a break on his 🙂

So at this point it's a rare occasion to listen to Preston. We talked about:

• how people react when you go all-in on Bitcoin
• Bitcoin jobs & education
• funding Bitcoin founders
• Bitcoin treasury companies
• humility in the Bitcoin space
• open-source thinking

and of course, Lugano!

Enjoy! 🙂

She is a constant personal inspiration to me as a podcaster and a marketing pro I deeply admire.

One fil rouge that emerged from our conversation was the importance of PROFESSIONAL PROOF OF WORK. In the Bitcoin world, titles and credentials matter less than your ability to demonstrate value through action, integrity, communication, and authenticity.

Not a new podcast... a comeback, actually.

I started this in 2016. 10 years, 3 businesses, 2 kids, and 1 new country later, I promised myself I’d bring it back.

10-minute episodes, on average. Just like a Bitcoin block.

Raw interviews. Personal stories. Randomness. Italian accent included.

Every guest has redefined life, value, and success in their own unique way. Every conversation has been so inspiring.

premiere at PlanB Forum El salvador was one of those.

We might disagree on many things, we might be so different, you can make my life crazy AF, but I can't imagine not having you,

It doesn't get more fiat than this

I spent 11 days living on Bitcoin only in Lugano because my bank restricted completely my account out of the blue (and I'm still blocked!)

And I succeeded! 🚀

And now I passed the #noFiatChallenge torch to amazing
