As Nietzsche once said, “All truly great thoughts are conceived while walking.” 🚶♂️✨
At the beginning of the year, I took a walk that changed everything. I met Jacob Piotrowski—better known as Endo Rivers—the founder of BitcoinWalk (npub1jr8…wwnw). That encounter set off a chain reaction that's been reshaping my entire life.
I’d been following blockchain technology for years but kept my distance from the crypto craze—it always seemed like trading baseball cards. I knew Bitcoin was different, but I hadn’t fully grasped why.
When Endo invited me to join a BitcoinWalk in Edinburgh, I saw it as the perfect chance to dig deeper. The idea is straightforward yet profound: gather people, get moving, have real conversations. 🏞️🚶♂️🚶♀️🌞
On that walk, I met Gary Devenay, an incredible sounding board who helped me piece together what I’d been learning. Thanks to his encouragement, I picked up 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒊𝒕𝒄𝒐𝒊𝒏 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒓𝒅, and soon enough, I was attending weekly walks and devouring books like 𝑩𝒊𝒕𝒄𝒐𝒊𝒏 𝑰𝒔 𝑽𝒆𝒏𝒊𝒄𝒆 by allen (npub1sfh…ymqt), and discovering new layers of understanding.
A few months later, I’m doing my part to bring people together through bitcoinworks (npub1qtn…4ar4) running weekly meetups ahead of opening a dedicated workspace in the New Year.
With a pre-commitment from Allen's VC firm, Axiom, to be our first business tenant and an investment application underway with Lugano Plan ₿ / @LuganoPlanB (RSS Feed) (npub1ft6…tx3v) (whose annual forum I'll be attending this week), we’re focused on hitting our pre-launch occupancy targets to make it happen 🏢✅
But it’s not just about business—it’s about building a community where ideas and people unite to create something greater than the sum of its parts. Every conversation and every step brings us closer to realising that vision: for #bitcoin to become the "𝘨𝘭𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘭 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘵-𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘤𝘢𝘴𝘩," as aptly put by TVP.
