Issue #76 - Late week, but it's here
The richest man, cacao opportunities and lightning node engineers
Hola 👋
I often wonder what value to write in here, I know peoples time is precious, so I try to keep my thoughts short.
But I wondered if maybe thoughts or insights on life here in Berlin and the circular economy might be of interest.
Thank you for reading. Have a great week.

The Playbook to Become the Richest Man
Apparently Michael Saylor is not the first person to take advantage of currency collapse that changes the order of power.
A write up on how it was done in Germany by Hugo Stinnes during the 1920’s.
An interesting thread breaking it down by our friend Luke.

El Salvador Known for More Than Bitcoin
Also known for coffee, but did you know about the cacao industry? The region was even known to use cacao beans as money.
The perfect climate for cacao to be grown here and people are now making waves with chocolate.
From our experience. There is a gap in the marketplace for someone right now.

Node Nation El Salvador
We met the team here in Berlin a few times. Even suggested that Node Engineers would be handy to have here to run a community node.
Great to see this project has started. Being avid lightning users, we can see the need for this skill.
Enjoying what you just read? Why not tell a friend? Or send some Satoshis. It keeps us motivated.
