T.T. 33: Productive Weekend in El Zonte and more!
Podcast production masterclass in Bitcoin Beach... "Adopting Bitcoin" conference in San Salvador last month... and two relevant recent podcast episodes
Hola amigos,
Greetings from Berlín, El Salvador!
So many updates to write about…
Way too many to cram into my typical target length — 3 minute read maximum, generally — for each of these weekly Thoreau Thursdays posts.
I’ll pick four to briefly highlight this week:
My incredibly productive weekend in El Zonte
Mi amigo Charlie’s “Bitcoin Beach” podcast appearance
“Adopting Bitcoin” conference in San Salvador last month
Michelle Weekley on Henry Bingaman’s “Practical Liberty” podcast
Productive Weekend in El Zonte
I won’t go into much detail yet at all.
But I had an extremely cool opportunity this past weekend.

(Note: Charlie and I went for a morning swim in the ocean before going to the BTC Farmers Market and then meeting up with Andy… it’s normal for dudes to be shirtless in El Zonte, but we were — for the record — indeed wearing pants still for that picture in the Bitcoin Beach podcast studio)
Speaking of Charlie…
He’s my housemate/landlord here in Berlín.
He was also on that very same “Bitcoin Beach” podcast recently.
I’ve encouraged Charlie to post a Clip Thread on X with highlights from this — stay tuned for that soon — but here’s the full episode link:
“Adopting Bitcoin” conference
Coincidentally, Charlie was one of the Speakers at El Salvador’s main annual Bitcoin conference in San Salvador last month.
Another one of my friends was also among the Speakers!
Michelle Weekley was one of my cohosts for the three hour “Space” that I hosted with Joshua Smith — Libertarian Party candidate for POTUS ‘24 — in October.
(I’ll be posting that full three hour Space to Rumble soon btw)
Mi amiga Michelle also gave an outstanding talk at “Adopting Bitcoin” in San Salvador about “Fighting Fiat Corruption with the Truth”:
And she was just on the “Practical Liberty” podcast recently, hosted by my other friend/mentor Henry Bingaman!
Here’s an extremely relevant clip in which they give a shoutout to El Salvador… including Berlín, and yours truly, by name :)

I’ll elaborate MUCH more on how this all ties together in future posts…
Stay tuned!

This is all so great! And I followed you on Nostr :-).
