Shout out to Matt and Marty, true Gladiators, standing up for all of us plebs, in the belly of the beast!

So chuffed and proud to call you both friends.

Raise strong families (which is harder than you think if you’re not consistent or present) and stack sats.
We Will Win. 🙏💪🧡

22k Travelling through Peru a second time in we have noticed a significant change - this time people have gone from indifference (last year) to knowing they now need #Bitcoin
Ran into two young French girls selling banana bread at a world famous left! They mentioned my bitcoin hat - it opened up the conversation. I zapped them sats for their baked goodies. Turns out they were lil stackers!
It’s a beautful thing!
Be the change you want to see in the world.
Love Pringle 🧡🧡🧡🧡
Ps zapped 44444 sats last week to general RHR acc. hope you got your cut Matt 😅😂
