T.T. 37: big New Year news in my new home
N.Y.E. in El Zonte... Viva BerlínCast... teasing my new podcasting Space... and more :)

Hola amigos,
Greetings from Berlín, El Salvador!
Happy New Year… or, as they say here, “Feliz Año”
I spent New Years Eve in El Zonte :)
Then yesterday we celebrated Bitcoin’s 15th birthday here in Berlín!
Four other highlight points for this week’s T.T.:
our new Bitcoin Center in Berlín
my new “Knowledge Hub” podcasting room…
Charlie’s new weekly Substack: “The Natural Investor”
my new personal podcast: “JeThoreau Space”
View from El Zonte ~6 hours before midnight on NYE
The community organized a cool bonfire party at midnight as well…
Directly next to that hostel where Charlie and I stayed…
Directly next to where the river meets the two beach sections…
I was able to sleep in a hammock — peacefully outside, about a stone’s throw away from the waves — each of the three nights!
Not bad for a mid-winter long weekend :)
It was definitely unlike any of my prior N.Y.E. experiences… but in a good way.

Not a bad 15th birthday party for Bitcoin!

Shoutout to Roux Grill:
It’s one of about 90 local merchants here in Berlín that accepts BTC payments… an excellent host for the party :)
Speaking of the Circular Economy here…
Berlín’s new
BTC Center
We moved in today!
Just picked up the keys this morning.
More details to come… stay tuned.
For now:
A picture of my new professional home,
subleasing within our new Bitcoin Center:
Big plans for this room…
Step 1:
Paint it orange, of course!
Probably tomorrow.
So I should keep this post short.
Quick plug for Charlie’s
new weekly Substack:
I encouraged him to start this.
Check out his first post from last Friday…
And then subscribe for his second post tomorrow!
Three last things…
I’ll have to do another post on Monday or
Tuesday to cover these three quick points:
my first proper podcast episode next Wednesday
Clint Russell on Joshua Smith’s podcast earlier tonight
Clint’s old appearance on Henry Bingaman’s “Practical Liberty” podcast
Clint and Henry will both be guests
on my first episode together next week!
Stay tuned…
But that’s enough for this week’s T.T. post.
Feliz Año, amigos :)
