I’ve been living a nomad life for a while now. Bali, El Salvador, Australia, Vietnam, Spain, Ireland and many more places.

I experience different currencies, I learn about tax systems, rules.

Now - it’s not easy knowing where to settle down. There’s no one perfect place, I personally believe your personal checklist is unique to you, and your shortlist will be set depending on what’s important to you.

But heres one thing I’ve learned which I want to share with you: the concept of freedom, on the physical geographical aspect - It’s a structure you build deliberately.

Because governments can freeze your bank account. Restrict your movement. Close their borders overnight. We saw it during Covid. Now during the recent Middle East wars I felt it again.

Also life in the “west” - is not becoming easier, let’s admit it.

That’s why I believe in having a Plan B. A second residency. A second passport. Somewhere else to go if and when things go sideways.

I’m glad to share I partnered with Expat Money, founded by Mikkel Thorup, who has lived in nine countries, visited over 100, and spent two decades helping people build exactly this kind of structure.

He put together a free report on Plan B residencies and instant citizenships. Places like Panama, with an interesting territorial tax system - for example if your income is earned outside the country, you owe nothing to the government.

Or Vanuatu, where you can get citizenship by investment in as little as three months, and pay in Bitcoin.

Or Bulgaria, where an investor visa requires no residency to keep it active, and can fast-track you to citizenship in as little as 18 months.

The report outlines various paths to a second passport. Dozens of country programs, and It’s free.

Let me know in the comments if there are specific countries you want to learn more about, or specific tools like offshore banking, passports or tax residencies.

When people experience hardship but choose to build out of their breakdowns, rather than hate or fight, it resonates. When they do it simply, humbly, connected to nature, it amplifies that resonance. I’ve been planning my visit to Costa Rica for a while. After watching the film, I can’t wait for that experience.

The film is directed by DirectorHodl & produced by Paul Keating, exploring the origins of an organic farmer’s market in Uvita, Costa Rica, in the Bitcoin Jungle community, weaving together themes of trust, spirituality, and an ancient myth known as the prophecy of the eagle and the condor. By diving into the profound impact of colonialism in Central America, the film examines how institutions like the IMF and World Bank have shaped the region over time, illuminating how Bitcoin has arisen within the community as a natural response to a systemic problem. If you wish, support the film and his independent creators here.

“They’re trying to control the rails to Bitcoin as much as they can, if they have control over that, they’ll ‘allow you to play with your Bitcoins’.”

I was hosted last night on Simply Bitcoin’s live show, discussing agenda 2030, the digital panopticon & my sovereignty framework, (ignore Saylor’s click bait), start at 49:50:

Something is happening across the Western world that doesn’t have a single headline, a single law, or a single villain. It’s a creep. Quiet, incremental, always justified by the most sympathetic rationale available: protect the children, stop the terrorists, fight misinformation, prevent financial crime. By the time any single measure becomes visible enough to generate public outrage, ten others have already passed into law. I must humbly admit: even though I have been monitoring this space for years, and have been aware of the UN’s Agenda 2030 and its sub-goals, I did not envision the implementation phase to accelerate and be so present and real already in 2026. I thought we had a few more years for that.

But reality is slapping us all in the face these days, it’s the nature of this disillusionment phase we’re all living through. And it’s how digital control works: a slow accumulation of permissions that governments grant themselves while the public is distracted.

2026: The Year The Internet Closed In On Us

The open internet, the one that allowed anonymous speech, private communication, and pseudonymous identity, is being systematically dismantled. In its place, a new architecture is emerging: one where every user is identified, every transaction is logged, every communication is scannable, and every platform is legally responsible for what its users say.

The European Union has led the charge. The Digital Services Act requires large platforms to proactively police content, implement algorithmic transparency measures, and take down material flagged by government-approved “trusted flaggers,” entities designated by member states with the power to escalate content removal requests. The practical result is a privatised censorship infrastructure, where liability pressure does the work that state censorship would have been challenged in court.

Then there is Chat Control, perhaps the most ambitious surveillance proposal in EU history. Under the guise of combating child sexual abuse material, the European Commission proposed legislation that would require messaging platforms to scan all private communications, including end-to-end encrypted messages, for flagged content. The proposal has faced fierce resistance from cryptographers, privacy advocates, and some EU member states, but it has not been abandoned. It keeps returning in revised form because the goal has not changed. Breaking encryption, under any rationale, gives governments access to private communication at scale.

The EU’s approach to age verification follows the same pattern. Under the Digital Services Act and related frameworks, platforms must verify the ages of users accessing “harmful” content. The mechanism for doing this, in practice, requires users to submit government-issued identification or biometric data to third-party verification services. Age verification systems are honeypots for identity data, and the regulatory pressure to implement them is accelerating.

The UK & Australia’s Versions of Controlled Internet

Britain’s Online Safety Act, passed in 2023, imposed sweeping obligations on platforms to remove “legal but harmful” content, with the definition of harmful left deliberately broad and subject to future expansion. Ofcom, the regulator, was empowered to demand that platforms implement “accredited technology” to scan for illegal content, including within private messages. Like Chat Control in the EU, this creates backdoor pressure to break or circumvent encryption.

The Online Safety Act’s scope creates strong incentives for platforms to geoblock or limit functionality for users who appear to be circumventing content restrictions, putting effective pressure on VPN use without a formal ban.

Australia moved first on social media age restrictions, with its Online Safety Act empowering the eSafety Commissioner to issue removal notices for a wide range of content. The under-16 social media ban it introduced is now being cited as a model by other governments. As I discussed on Spectator TV Australia, when that ban started locking adult political writers out of platforms, it wasn’t a bug. It was a preview.

Identity Is the Infrastructure of Control

The EU’s digital identity framework, eIDAS 2.0, mandates that member states make available a European Digital Identity Wallet to every citizen who wants one. The wallet holds verified identity credentials, educational qualifications, medical records, payment information, and travel documents, all in a single state-issued digital container. EU countries are required to offer EUDI Wallets to their citizens by end of 2026, with businesses required to accept them by 2027. The Commission frames this as convenience. What it actually creates is a single point of identity that governments, employers, and service providers can require before granting access to services.

Ireland was selected as one of the earliest implementers, launching a pilot for its Government Digital Wallet in April 2026: a state-run app to store your ID, birth certificate, driving licence, and more. The government’s pitch sounds reassuring: “You are in control of your data.” “Nothing is tracked or recorded.” They said the same things about every surveillance system before it became mandatory. Ireland is legally required under EU regulation to have the wallet operational for public services by end of 2026, extended to private services by end of 2027. “Voluntary” has an expiration date. They wrote it into law.

Ireland’s Communications Minister has already proposed requiring the wallet for social media access, meaning Irish people would need a state-issued digital ID just to log into Facebook, Instagram, or X (and any other big tech media platform). The Irish Council for Civil Liberties put it plainly: this would mean users can no longer browse the internet with any degree of anonymity. Every page visit, every platform login will be traceable back to a specific government ID.

CBDC Is The Weapon of Control

The Digital Euro sits alongside this architecture. The ECB’s rollout target is 2026-2027, the same window as the wallet rollout. While the retail digital euro gets most of the public attention, the ECB is simultaneously running two wholesale infrastructure projects that have received almost no coverage: Project Pontes, which establishes an interface between central bank money and tokenised digital assets, and Project Appia, which is designing the broader ecosystem and governance framework around those tokenised assets.

We’re essentially seeing a state-controlled digital ID wallet, plus a state-controlled digital currency with programmable rails, arriving together. I think people fail to understand that once their identity and their money live in the same government infrastructure, every transaction can be permissioned, tracked, and cut off. As I recently wrote, analysing Deutsche Bundesbank President Joachim Nagel’s pitch for the Digital Euro: central bankers are rebranding control as “critical payment infrastructure,” framing geopolitical tensions and declining cash use as the drivers for why we must embrace it.

None of this should be a surprise. Back in December 2025, I laid out the three CBDC trends I expected to define 2026: accelerating rollout, the merging of digital currency with digital identity, and the Digital Euro setting the global template. Every one of them is now playing out, faster than even I expected.

Your Face Is Now Your Passport

Airports are becoming the clearest working model of what global biometric infrastructure looks like once it’s actually built. The EU’s Entry/Exit System went fully operational across all 29 Schengen countries on April 10, 2026, replacing passport stamps with fingerprints and facial scans for every non-EU traveller, data stored for three years and used to automatically track how many of your permitted days you have left. Refuse to hand over your biometrics, and you are refused entry, full stop. But this is not an EU-only project: it mirrors the US Biometric Exit program, the UK’s Electronic Travel Authorisation, and a broader international push, coordinated through the International Civil Aviation Organization’s biometric passport standard, to make facial recognition the default credential for crossing any border, anywhere. What’s being sold as convenience, and what is supposed to speed up the line for people already enrolled (in reality it’s often causing huge delays across major airports), is quietly becoming the connective tissue of a single, interoperable global identity layer: enroll once, and your face becomes legible to every airport, every immigration system, and potentially every database it is ever linked to afterward.

New Crypto Regulation Enabling Surveillance

The EU’s MiCA (Markets in Crypto Assets) regulation, brought crypto assets under a comprehensive regulatory framework. Among its provisions are strict licensing requirements for crypto service providers, mandatory KYC for all transactions above certain thresholds, and, through DAC8, the automatic reporting of crypto asset holdings to tax authorities across member states. DAC8 requires crypto exchanges and wallet providers to collect and report detailed user information, including name, address, tax identification number, and the value of assets held and transacted, automatically shared between EU tax authorities.

That aggregation of financial data has not gone unchallenged. Bull Bitcoin, one of the world’s oldest Bitcoin-only exchange, has filed a legal challenge before France’s Conseil d’État, the country’s supreme administrative court, seeking to annul the decree implementing DAC8 domestically. CEO Francis Pouliot argues the directive creates a centralised honeypot of sensitive financial data, and the case arrives against a documented and worsening physical threat: French authorities have recorded 77 verified cases of kidnapping, extortion, or attempted extortion linked to crypto holders since the start of 2026 alone, already surpassing all of 2025, with France now accounting for an estimated 70% of such “wrench attacks” worldwide. “DAC8 has transformed the concept of Know Your Customer into Kill Your Customer,” Pouliot said. The case is being financed independently, and a favourable ruling could set a precedent for challenges across the EU.

The Travel Rule, now extended to crypto assets under MiCA, requires that the identity of both sender and receiver be attached to every transaction above a threshold. The pseudonymity that made Bitcoin usable as a parallel financial system is being regulated away. Banned would generate resistance. Made compliant means traceable, which means controllable.

KYC requirements have expanded in parallel across traditional finance. Under the EU’s Anti-Money Laundering Directives, banks must collect and verify detailed beneficial ownership information, monitor transaction patterns, and report suspicious activity to financial intelligence units. The threshold for what constitutes suspicious activity has been consistently lowered. Paying rent in cash, moving money between family members, operating a business with international clients: all of these can now trigger reporting obligations.

Your Car Is Watching You Too

The surveillance layer is not confined to phones, wallets, and bank accounts. It now extends to the vehicle in your driveway. A field known in the intelligence industry as CARINT, car intelligence, has emerged around the fact that modern cars are rolling computers, dependent on constant cellular and internet connectivity to function. Israeli firms are reported to be leading this space: one company has developed an “offensive” capability that can remotely tap into a car’s hands-free microphone and dashboard cameras, while others sell tools that track a vehicle’s location and movements in real time by exploiting its built-in SIM card, and even fingerprint individual vehicles using the unique identifier broadcast by their tire-pressure sensors. In the United States, agencies including the FBI and NSA request vehicle data from manufacturers much as they request data from phone and email providers, and firms like Palantir fuse license plate and registry data with other intelligence sources. The more digital a car becomes, the more it becomes another node in the same surveillance architecture as your phone, your wallet, and your identity.

The surveillance creep has now reached the dashboard by design, not just by hacking. As of July 7, 2026, every new passenger car and van registered in the EU must include an infrared, driver-facing camera as part of the bloc’s Advanced Driver Distraction Warning system, monitoring eye movement, blinking, and gaze direction whenever the vehicle exceeds 20 km/h. The European Commission frames it purely as a road-safety measure, and the system is described as closed-loop, with facial data processed on-device rather than transmitted. But researchers note that claim has no independent audit, and the same auto industry has a well-documented history of sharing or selling driver data to third parties. A camera trained on your face, built into your car by law, joins the SIM card, the tire sensor, and the microphone as one more sensor feeding a system you never consented to and cannot opt out of.

The Other Side: Freedom Tech Is Fighting Back

None of this is going unanswered. As covered by Susie Violet Ward on Forbes, a growing freedom tech movement is building the tools that let people communicate, transact, and organise even when governments, platforms, or banks try to cut them off. Activists in countries where governments impose internet and electricity blackouts turn to Bluetooth mesh-networking apps like Bitchat, which let nearby phones relay messages without internet or mobile service at all. On the financial side, developers are building bitcoin-based privacy tools like Cashu or Fedi for private digital money, and peer-to-peer donation protocols like Agora, which Venezuelan opposition leader Leopoldo López built after watching his own country weaponise the banking system against dissidents, calling it “unstoppable funding.”

This resistance extends to the phones too. Hakeem Anwar, a software engineer and founder of Above Phone, argues that Big Tech phones are not just data-collection devices but control points, since Google and Apple hold the signing keys to every app on their stores and can remove any application without your consent. His answer is phones powered by GrapheneOS and equipped with alternative privacy-conscious applications, services and sim cards. As Anwar put it when I spoke with him: privacy is a stack, the protocol, the app, and the hardware all have to be trustworthy, or the weakest link defeats everything else.

For me the two most exciting freedom technologies are Nostr, a decentralised protocol where your identity lives in a private key you control rather than the state, and Bitcoin, which lets value move peer to peer without middlemen granting permission. It feels like the time is right to educate the public about privacy and digital technologies; Freedom fighters such as John Burnett had put together a free course for digital privacy, and Bitcoin Policy UK Co-founder Freddie New consolidated a free privacy toolkit.

The Pattern

Each of these measures has a sympathetic justification: child protection, financial crime, national security, extremism, misinformation. These are real problems, and no serious person disputes that. The question is whether the proposed solutions are proportionate, whether they are reversible, and whether the infrastructure being built to address them can be repurposed once the justification is no longer convenient.

History answers that question clearly: emergency powers are rarely temporary. Surveillance infrastructure built for one purpose is routinely expanded to others. Identity systems created for efficiency become mechanisms of exclusion. Financial monitoring tools designed for crime become tools for managing dissent.

What is being built right now, across the EU, the UK, the United States, and their allies, is a comprehensive architecture of identification, communication surveillance, financial monitoring, and content control. Each piece connects to the others. The digital wallet links to the digital euro, which links to KYC, which links to DAC8, which links to the Travel Rule. The age verification system links to the identity wallet. The biometric border layer links to the same digital identity infrastructure. Chat Control links to the encryption backdoor. The Online Safety Act links to content moderation liability, which links to trusted flaggers, which links to government-approved information.

The cage is assembled one regulation at a time, by unelected technocrats and bureaucrats who understand that populations accept constraints they cannot see arriving all at once. If you haven’t started preparing for this highly technocratic reality by learning about and embracing freedom tech, the time is now.

Listening to central bankers like Joachim Nagel talk about “strategic autonomy” and “financial sovereignty” feels like a scripted response to a “New World Disorder” that has been brewing for years. They point to “geopolitical tensions” and the “declining use of cash” as the primary drivers for why we must embrace a digital euro, but I can’t help but wonder if they are just rebranding control as “critical payment infrastructure”. It is part of a much larger, unsettling picture where the old world order, what some experts are calling a “doom loop” of inequality and destabilization, is being replaced not by something better, but by a more digitized version of the same destructive feedback loops.

For me, this is not just about a more convenient way to pay; it is about who really holds the keys to our financial lives. While the “elite” discuss “hard power” and how to sustainably finance massive increases in defence spending, the rest of us are being nudged toward AI agents using CBDC/stablecoins digital wallets that could track every transaction (with bitcoin it’s a different picture btw). If central banks are accumulating gold at record paces as a hedge against “systemic risk,” we should be asking why they’ve made the system so risky in the first place. I’m not buying the “autonomy” narrative. To me, it feels like a manufactured transition into a new world disorder managed by the same old hands.

In this panel from last month in Prague, we cover one of today’s most urgent topics, or at least so I think - preparation against the digital prison. On the panel: Tony (The Bitcoin Way), Viliam (Vexl), Lea (Cake Wallet), and me, moderated by the awesome Susie Violet Ward. We explain why you need to prepare to protect your money, your privacy, and your freedom before the cage closes. We mention the boiling-frog trap of convenience, why “I have nothing to hide” is a dangerous myth, Worldcoin and the trade of your data for a few bucks, building your parallel network before the crisis hits, and how to reclaim sovereignty over your identity, money, and voice.

I’m in the midst of my European spring roadshow, and it’s going well but quite challenging! I’m moving between cities every week, preparing presentation, recording and releasing podcasts on the go, meeting people, while ensuring my sleep, sun, food and spiritual habits are kept relatively in tact.

Let me share experiences from 4 places:

1) Block with Mir / Lugano Switzerland

Mir interviewed me when we were in Lugano last year, here’s the fun result
We discussed ”PROFESSIONAL PROOF OF WORK …titles and credentials matter less than your ability to demonstrate value through action, integrity, communication, and authenticity. In Bitcoin, your real résumé is your proof of work.”

2) MAD Bitcoin, Madrid, Spain

Last week in Madrid was really great, here’s my little summary video:

And here’s my rant about why bitcoin is really important. Not as another digital investment asset, but as a freedom enabler. And no, government surveillance is not ok. Click to read the whole rant…

3) With Eddie Hobbs, Dublin, Ireland

I was interviewed by on his show Counterpoint, at the Dublin studio. We talked about Ireland’s Digital ID / CBDC / Internet control, EU’s plans, a bit of Trump, Israel, bitcoin and more. Stay tuned till next week!

4) Porto, Lisbon, Portugal

In between I also visited Porto in Portugal - where I attended a great local meetup with some amazing bitcoiners - lots of educational content was shared:

I also attended the “Free Energy Summit” in Lisbon, organized by my friend Andre Loja from Free Madeira:

And some photos:

Wish me luck in Ireland, Barcelona, Prague etc… drop a comment.

There is a particular kind of cowardice dressed up in respectable clothes. It wears the face of politeness. Of staying in your lane. Of not wanting to cause trouble, not wanting to lose friends, not wanting to be the one who makes things awkward at the dinner table.

And it’s destroying us.

I’ve watched people witness fraud and say nothing. I’ve watched professionals nod along to policies they knew were wrong. I’ve watched entire communities look away while their neighbors were being crushed, by corrupt systems, by captured institutions, by outright lies dressed up as public health, public safety, public good. The machinery of control doesn’t just rely on enforcers. It relies on bystanders. It needs your silence. It counts on it.

Simon & Garfunkel wrote about this in 1964. “Silence like a cancer grows” - four words that have aged into prophecy. They were writing about a society so seduced by comfort and spectacle that it had forgotten how to speak. How to really speak. Not perform, not signal, not post, but stand up, tell the truth, and accept the consequences.

That was sixty years ago. Look around.

We are living through a period of coordinated, institutionalized deception on a scale most people still can’t bring themselves to name out loud. The financial system is built on debt that can never be repaid. The health system spent years prioritizing compliance over care and turning sickness into a business model. Governments surveil their own populations and call it safety. Platforms silence doctors, journalists, and ordinary people and call it moderation and safety. And most people, educated, decent, well-meaning people, said nothing. Some because they are scared. Some because they genuinely don’t know. And some because knowing is uncomfortable, and comfort is addictive.

Silence is never neutral. Every time a person who knows the truth chooses not to say it, they hand a little more power to the people who are lying. Every time someone watches something wrong happen and looks away, they make it easier for it to happen again. The absence of resistance is a form of consent, whether we intend it that way or not.

What we need right now, urgently, are people willing to be inconvenient. Willing to be unpopular. Willing to lose something. Whistleblowers. Truth-tellers. The colleague who won’t sign off on the report they know is falsified. The doctor who won’t prescribe what they know is harmful. The journalist who won’t kill the story. The ordinary person who refuses to pretend they didn’t see what they saw, who won’t turn a blind eye to violence, war crimes, and the extortion of fellow human beings.

This is a call for courage, the specific, unglamorous kind that shows up in small moments: the email you send anyway, the question you ask in the meeting, the post you publish knowing half your audience will push back.

Freedom and dignity are preserved by people. By individuals who decide that their integrity is worth more than their comfort, and that the future they want to live in is worth building, even when building it is hard.

Silence is a choice. And every day it continues, it compounds.

In the song (below) Paul Simon warns the crowd and tries to reach them, but his words fall like silent raindrops into empty wells. That image has stayed with me. Because that’s what it feels like to speak when most people are afraid to join, or aren’t ready to hear. And yet the speaking still matters. It plants something.

“Fools” said I, “You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you”
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence

Every generation gets a moment where silence becomes a verdict. This is ours.

Listen to this remake by Disturbed.

“The Sound of Silence”

Paul Simon, Simon & Garfunkel, 1964.

Hello darkness, my old friend
I’ve come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
‘Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
No one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

“Fools” said I, “You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you”
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming

And the sign said, “The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence”

Two pieces of content for your early morning coffee ☕:

1. “Freedom Go Up” - a name I gave the twitter space I spoke in this morning, prior to Bitcoin 2026 in Vegas: I spoke about Pardoning Samourai, and the US potential of being a beacon of light and preserving freedom and privacy - as the American forefathers intended. Also touched on CBDCs, agenda 2030, digital ID, the controlled demolition of the old world order and ushering in a new one.
   Listen to the recording here:

2. “They Control Your Money” - A live conversation I had on the “Daily Stack”, about passive investments via bitcoin mining, AI, global agendas, free speech, CBDCs vs Bitcoin, and more.
   Follow The Daily Stack, now on Nostr too.

Clips:

3. Join me in Vegas for these sessions!

I had the pleasure of being hosted on the podcast this week.

Watch on BitChute / Brighteon / Rumble / Substack or YouTube above.

Read more here:

“Efrat Fenigson discusses her work as an independent voice focused on sovereignty and “freedom tech.” She describes her personal experiences with censorship, de-banking, and travel restrictions, framing these obstacles as symptoms of a global shift toward a highly technocratic and surveilled digital world. Fenigson argues that the current era mirrors historic monetary resets, where legacy financial systems are being replaced by programmable CBDCs, biometric identification, and a new world financial architecture. To counter this growing “digital gulag” she champions the adoption of decentralized tools which allow individuals to bypass state-controlled intermediaries. Ultimately, she serves as both a warning of an inevitable global surveillance apparatus and a guide for using alternative technologies to maintain personal and financial autonomy.”

I loved these two comments especially (thank you!):

“You’re almost home,” said my Uber driver, as I stepped into his car.

I smiled and said “yes”, but in my heart, I quietly disagreed. I am home. Right now. After long journeys like the one I just completed from Asia to the US, without having a geographic “base” to call home, the knowingness that “I am always home” is slippery.

That’s the thing about being a digital nomad. My suitcase is a running joke, it’s my portable life. But the truth is deeper than that. I carry my home with me not in luggage, but in myself. In my body, my heart, my sense of presence. Like a turtle. Wherever I go, I’m already there.

The driver meant well. He was being kind. And without knowing it, he gave me a gift — a reminder of how fortunate I am to feel at home everywhere. No countdown. No “almost.” Just here, now, home.

We tend to think of home as a place. A matter of space — somewhere you travel to, somewhere you’re not quite at yet. But what if home is less a location and more a moment? What if being home is a time inquiry, not a space one? You are home right now. Always, right now.

That reframe opened something up in me. And then, layered right on top of it, came the time puzzle.

Time Is Wonkey

I’d just crossed more than 24 hours of travel. Around the world. I left Vietnam on April 12th in the afternoon, and landed in Oregon on April 12th in the afternoon. Same date. Same general time of day. Different hemisphere, different continent, different everything - except the clock.

I left from the future. Vietnam is 14 hours ahead. I crossed datelines, time zones, and hemispheres, and somehow arrived at the same moment I departed. Different coordinates, same clock.

That made me ponder.

Time, as we relate to it , the way we read clocks, measure hours, structure our days, is a human construct. Yes, it’s anchored in physics. Yes, it follows the laws of this 3D reality we inhabit, synced to circadian rhythms and the rotation of the earth. But the way we symbolize and communicate time? We built that. We agreed on it. And nothing makes that clearer than flying around the globe, watching the hours pass, and landing exactly where you started on the calendar.

Time is weirder than we let ourselves acknowledge.

We take it as fixed. As objective. As fact. But if you’ve ever spent time in a deeply imaginative state: daydreaming, meditating, or disconnecting from 3D reality, you’ve probably felt how elastic it can be. Those who’ve experienced psilocybin know this intimately. Time stretches, collapses, folds. You can feel like you’re in several places at once, and it may feel like a glitch. Quantum physics has been pointing at this for decades. A particle can exist in multiple states simultaneously. “What the Bleep Do We Know?” - that film from the early 2000s, brought this into mainstream conversation before most people were ready for it. Itzhak Bentov talked about it in his work, and Federico Faggin keeps opening my head to it.

We live as if time is a straight line. But maybe it’s more of a field.

Adopt A Different Lens on Time

Travel is one of the best tools I know for noticing the invisible structures you live inside, and time is one of them. When you’re constantly crossing time zones, adjusting your sleep, resetting your rhythm, you stop relating to the clock as something fixed and start relating to it as something you negotiate with. The structure becomes visible precisely because you keep disrupting it.

And that structure does have real value. Linear time: calendars, schedules, shared reference points, is genuinely useful. It helps us coordinate, plan, show up for each other. Being a good timekeeper isn’t something to dismiss. When you’re in tune with time, life flows more easily. That’s real.

But being in tune with something is different from being imprisoned by it. Questioning a system means understanding it well enough to use it consciously, despite the initial urge to abandon it. The same way I think about money, identity, and every other structure we’ve inherited: know the rules, know who made them, and decide for yourself how much authority they have over you. Time deserves the same scrutiny. Try experiencing it differently; through stillness, through travel, through whatever loosens the grip of the default setting.

And You?

Lately, my experience of time has been genuinely strange. Over the last few years, I feel everything accelerating... so much happening in a single day that time just flies. And then I look back at the last six years and it feels like two decades. One year feels like ten. The compression and the expansion seem to be happening simultaneously, and I don’t think I’m alone in that.

I’m curious where you are with this. How do you experience time right now, and has that changed?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

.

Ireland just launched a pilot for its Government Digital Wallet: a state-run app to store ID, birth certificate, driving license, and more. The government’s pitch sounds reassuring:
“You are in control of your data.”
“Nothing is tracked or recorded.”
“Only what’s needed gets shared.”
“It makes life simpler.”

They said the same things about every surveillance system before it became mandatory.

This move is part of the EU Digital Identity Wallet (EUDI), an EU framework being rolled out across all member states, perfectly timed with the UN Agenda 2030 timeline. Ireland is just one domino. Every EU country is next.

The Digital Euro (CBDC) deadline complements this Digital ID & Wallet rollout, what a coincidence!

Ireland is legally required under EU regulation to have the wallet operational for public services by end of 2026, and extended to private services by end of 2027. “Voluntary” has an expiration date. They wrote it into law.

Now look at the Digital Euro timeline: the ECB rollout target is 2026–2027. The same window. The same infrastructure. A state-controlled digital ID wallet + a state-controlled digital currency, arriving together. You think it’s a coincidence? Once your ID and your money live in the same government app, every transaction can be permissioned, tracked, and cut off.

Social media policing is a feature, not a bug: Ireland’s Communications Minister has proposed requiring the wallet for social media access, meaning Irish people will need a state-issued digital ID just to log into Facebook, Instagram, or X. Adults who refuse? Lose their accounts.

Surveillance net disguised as child protection:
The Irish Council for Civil Liberties put it bluntly: this would mean users can no longer browse the internet with any degree of anonymity. Every page visit, every platform login will be traceable back to a specific government ID.

Agenda 2030 Infrastructure

You’re watching the convergence of digital ID + internet access control + social media monitoring + CBDC rails, all running through one government-issued app and infrastructure. Permission-based life: you exist online, move money, and access services only as long as the state allows. This is Agenda 2030 infrastructure being rolled out, in plain sight.

They’ll keep calling it “optional “ until it isn’t. The pilot phase is now, and the time to push back is before the legislation locks it in.

Tom shared this with me:

”It’s a quirky low-budget travel adventure mixed in with lots of stunningly beautiful bird footage, all captured by the two brothers who made this film. Their film budget is said to be $16k, and the film is in many ways better than a 2011 Hollywood movie called “The Big Year” on the same subject with a production budget of $40 million.”

Enjoy!

Plug yourself back to nature.
Back to the divine design.
Look inside and rediscover the child you love so much.
Observe how complex and multi layered nature is, so is our life.
What we think is quiet, is full of action.
What we think is still, is dynamic, endlessly moving.
The energy is there. The field is pulsing.
Where is your attention?
Who consumes your energy?
What opportunities are you engaged in?
Which ones are you missing? Which ones are you longing for?
Align your identity, values and mission with your actions.
Be courageous, drive changes.
Keep pursuing knowing yourself.
Don’t compromise. Don’t shy away.
Show up. Your voice matters.
Be all of who you are.
