About me

I am interested not only in whether something works. I want to understand why it works, what connections lie behind it and whether there might be a more coherent way.

I like to look more closely and rarely settle for the first answer. When a subject truly moves me, I can spend a long time exploring it in depth. A single question often gives rise to new thoughts, ideas and, eventually, concrete projects.

Many of my ideas begin with an observation: something is missing, a connection remains invisible or an everyday process is unnecessarily complicated. I then want not only to talk about it, but to find out whether something practical can be developed from it.

I do not always take the most direct route. I question, discard, begin again and learn while putting things into practice. To me, that is part of the creative process. My goal is not flawlessness, but development that is honest, understandable and meaningful.

In my dealings with other people, openness, reliability, fairness and meeting one another as equals are important to me. I listen attentively and often notice what is not expressed directly. At the same time, I address things honestly when I believe this can open up a new perspective.

I use Human Design as a personal tool for self-reflection, not as an immutable truth. I recognise some aspects of myself in the description of the Manifesting Generator with sacral authority and a 5/1 profile: the desire first to understand something thoroughly and then to make that understanding effective in practice.

Over time, I have learned that not every possibility deserves my attention and energy. What matters to me is the inner feeling that an idea truly has meaning. When that inner yes is present, it can give rise to great perseverance and creative strength.

ESPERANTO ∞/21 is an expression of this way of thinking. It is my space for the questions, thoughts, projects and developments that occupy me, without claiming to already have a finished answer to everything.

What drives me is the possibility of making connections visible, developing my own experiences further and perhaps setting something in motion that also gives other people a new perspective.

I see myself as a warrior – not in the sense of violence, but in the sense of an inner attitude.

To me, being a warrior means taking responsibility, standing up for one’s convictions and maintaining one’s principles even when it becomes uncomfortable. My struggle is not directed against people. It is directed against ignorance, injustice, paternalism and structures that take away people’s freedom, personal responsibility or dignity.

Justice, freedom and enlightenment are therefore not abstract concepts to me. They form an essential part of my personal compass.

Justice

I have a strong sense for when something is not right or is unjust. This does not mean that I believe all people have to be the same. People are different – in their abilities, experiences, needs and paths through life.

To me, justice means that every person should have the opportunity to follow their own path, take responsibility for their life and be treated with respect.

When I perceive injustice, I find it difficult simply to look away.

Freedom

To me, freedom is one of humanity’s highest goods.

But freedom does not mean being able to do whatever one wants without considering the consequences. Freedom and responsibility belong together.

I do not want to tell people how they should live. On the contrary, I want to help them develop enough knowledge, self-confidence and independence to make their own decisions.

A person who recognises their own path does not need someone to lead them. Sometimes they merely need someone who helps them see clearly again.

Enlightenment

Many of our decisions arise from habits, fears, social expectations or beliefs that we adopted at some point without ever truly questioning them.

For me, enlightenment therefore means above all:

Ask questions. Recognise connections. Think for yourself.

I want to make different perspectives visible and encourage people to form their own opinions. I do not claim to possess the truth. My own convictions must also be open to question.

For me, genuine insight does not arise because someone claims to know all the answers.

It begins with the willingness to ask the right questions.

The warrior within me

The warrior within me does not give up quickly.

He observes, questions and searches for connections. He can be uncomfortable when something contradicts his understanding of freedom or justice. At the same time, I know that strength does not consist in fighting every battle.

Sometimes strength means offering resistance.

Sometimes it means choosing a different path.

And sometimes it means simply giving another person the space to reach their own insight.

I do not want to convert anyone or impose my view of the world on anyone.

I want to offer impulses.

Impulses to look more closely.

Impulses to question what has become familiar.

Impulses to rediscover one’s own responsibility.

And perhaps, sometimes, the courage to take a path that is truly one’s own.

In the end, it is not about people following my opinion.

It is about them finding their own – and possessing the freedom to live by it.

ESPERANTO ∞/21 is more than a name to me. It is an idea.

I first encountered the word Esperanto not in a language course or a book. I heard it in the song of the same name by Freundeskreis.

That song moved me.

I later had a similar experience with “Freiheit” by Söhne Mannheims. Two completely different songs, yet both awaken something similar in me.

They are about people.

About freedom.

About mutual understanding.

And about the question of what connects us instead of separating us from one another.

At some point, I wanted to know what the word Esperanto actually means.

I learned that Esperanto was created as an international language with an extraordinarily simple and, at the same time, far-reaching idea: people of different origins should be able to communicate with one another without the language of one nation having to stand above that of another.

A common language as a connecting element between people.

That is precisely the thought that stayed with me.

Because I can only welcome things that connect people instead of driving them ever farther apart.

Perhaps that is also why it is no coincidence that Bitcoin eventually stumbled across my synapses.

At first glance, an international language and decentralised digital money have little to do with one another.

To me, however, they share a common idea:

Borders lose their significance.

Esperanto does not ask which country a person comes from before two people can speak with one another.

Bitcoin does not ask what nationality, religion or worldview someone has before two people can exchange value with one another.

Both can connect people who might otherwise never have encountered one another.

And in that, I recognise a thought that has accompanied me for a long time.

Freedom without separation

To me, freedom does not mean cutting oneself off from all other people.

Quite the opposite.

Genuine freedom needs room for differences.

People do not have to believe the same things. They do not have to hold the same opinions. They do not have to share the same culture, origin or way of life.

Nor do we have to agree about everything in order to talk with one another.

Connection does not arise because everyone becomes the same.

Connection arises where differences are allowed to exist.

That is why freedom and tolerance are inseparable to me.

I do not want to tell anyone what they should think. I want to encourage people to think for themselves.

I do not want to convince anyone of my truth. I want to ask questions, examine connections and make different perspectives visible.

What each individual makes of this remains their own decision.

Why 21?

The 21 was also chosen deliberately.

On the one hand, it stands for the 21st century – a time in which our relationship with technology, artificial intelligence, money, knowledge, freedom and human autonomy is changing fundamentally.

At the same time, the number has a special symbolic power in connection with Bitcoin: its maximum quantity is limited to 21 million bitcoin.

The name therefore brings two ideas together:

Esperanto – understanding and connection between people.

21 – our time and the idea of money that is borderless, yet limited and independent.

The ∞ between them represents something that cannot be conclusively defined: development, insight, possibilities and the never-ending search for new questions.

This is how the name came into being:

ESPERANTO ∞/21

It is not a political movement.

Not an ideology.

And not an attempt to explain to other people how they should live or think.

Esperanto-21 is my personal space for thoughts, questions, projects and ideas about a world that is currently undergoing fundamental change.

About humanity and artificial intelligence.

About freedom and responsibility.

About consciousness and philosophy.

About money and independence.

About technology and its limits.

And, time and again, about the same fundamental question:

What connects us as human beings without taking away our individuality and freedom?

Perhaps I will never find a final answer to that question.

Nor do I need to.

Because Esperanto-21 is not intended to provide finished truths.

It is intended to encourage reflection.

To encourage questioning.

To encourage people to arrive at their own understanding.

And perhaps, sometimes, to help discover something that connects us in places where, until now, we have mainly seen what separates us.

Because a world of free people does not have to be a world of separated people.
