Hypno

Hello Stacker News community!

I'm Hypnotic HODL (or Hypno), a husband, dad, and long-time online marketer based in the city of angels: Bangkok, Thailand.

I'm usually lurking on Nostr, you can find me at `npub1rgy6uu2haeaey2nh5hhs85zjvd486cs5wegrv0unjw5na33y0gjsjhe3y3`.

**Bitcoin Journey**

Class of 2017 (yes, I shitcoined a bit first). 

I enjoy tinkering with technology: running nodes (MyNode, Start9), experimenting with ASIC mining, and exploring various hardware and software wallets (BTC, LN, and cashu). Next on my list is playing with a Bitaxe Gamma 601.

I read extensively. Bitcoin pushed me from fiction into non-fiction. I started with The Bitcoin Standard by Saifedean Ammous. And then so many of the classics. Currently, I'm reading Bitcoin Is Venice by Allen Farrington and Sacha Meyers.

**Projects**

I enjoy playing with AI and have developed several sites, including:
- [bitcointosatoshi.com](https://bitcointosatoshi.com/)
- [senzap.com](https://senzap.com/)
- [soveng.com](https://soveng.com/)

I'm currently working on a new project focused on metal seed phrase backups, set to launch soon.

**Activism**

I'm an advocate for financial sovereignty, and privacy, mostly by using Bitcoin. And I recently published (in French): [stopeuronumerique.com](https://stopeuronumerique.com/) to raise awareness about the European CBDC that's coming.
