I want to take them into the jungle to meet the people and participate in the experiences that changed my life; from riding the twisty roads of Northern Thailand, to training with Muay Thai champions, to learning from the most sovereign people on Earth.

This is not a journey designed for tourists; it is my life. The life that enabled me to travel to 30 Bitcoin meetups by motorcycle and which gave me a sense of freedom and empowerment which I could not fathom developing if I had stayed in my old environment.

Introducing The Ride Of Passage

I took all of the most impactful experiences I’ve had in this wonderful land and strung them across eight days, spent on motorcycles riding the gorgeous landscapes and terraced rice fields of Northern Thailand.

And I am inviting Bitcoiners to join me for that journey: I call it the ride of passage.

Everything planned was chosen with Bitcoiners in mind; not just their interest in Bitcoin, but their interest in sovereignty, truth and the process of discovery, which all of us go through just to understand Bitcoin.

On the road, the goal is for participants to bond with a band of Bitcoiners who are all equally committed to this adventure as they are. Participants will be expected to support each other, learn from each other and build trust and connection that will last far beyond their short time together on the road.

I have planned for them to meet entrepreneurial self-starters who understand sovereignty in practice, not theory, from internet moguls who live a location-independent lifestyle to hill tribes who use the land, the jungle and their wits to evade capture by the state, both physically and mentally.

Participants will test their personal responsibilities and fortitude through the ancient art of Thai boxing, Muay Thai, as well as the trials inherent in any road trip.

And they will have the chance to discover the opening to many rabbit holes present in this distant culture; ones which can make them reflect on what they know about life back home.

My goal is to take their interests in Bitcoin and show them just how far it can take them into adventure and freedom; just as it’s taken me.

I took noted Bitcoiner Texas Slim on just a tiny slice of this experience, and he can’t wait for more. This gives me confidence that other Bitcoiners can benefit from the chance to experience an inspirationally-sovereign culture for themselves.
