THERE IS A WHOLE GENERATION THAT THINKS ENGAGEMENT IS MORE VALUABLE THAN A STRONG FAMILY.

FOCUS ON FAMILY. WORK HARD. SAVE IN BITCOIN.

To all those building, supporting, using, teaching, and advocating for freedom tech. It is unlikely you ever realize the true impact you make in the world through your actions.

You are bending reality to an almost unimaginable future with 8 billion people in service of 8 billion people

Names may fade but your impact never will.

Deep love and respect.

I just spent over an hour in conversation with none other than Phil Zimmerman, and the mission was clear: purple-pilling him on Nostr. Phil hadn't heard of it before, so I had the challenge of introducing something I knew would resonate deeply with him. After all, he's the guy who knows a thing or two about encryption keys and was previously involved in building Okuna, an open-source social network that unfortunately ran out of funding. I showed him Amethyst on my phone and a post by nostr:nprofile1qqsw4v882mfjhq9u63j08kzyhqzqxqc8tgf740p4nxnk9jdv02u37ncpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9uju6mpd4czuumfw3jsz9nhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wsq3yamnwvaz7tmsw4e8qmr9wpskwtn9wvql3tqm

Phil's got strong opinions when it comes to content moderation, censorship, and those rage-inducing engagement algorithms that seem tailor-made to fracture society. I knew this was my opening. I explained how Nostr flips the script—you get to choose your own algorithm, define your content moderation levels, and uphold the principle that free speech must be the goal. And yeah, true free speech requires free money, so I brought that into the conversation too. That’s when nostr:nprofile1qqs9ez06ea26rc45f4rf0cyckdxkvvhlvekeawqee29jttp0hjm5mkcpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hsdjaljs chimed in with talk about zaps and ecash, which instantly caught Phil’s attention.

Phil had no idea that Chaum's patents had expired, so I jumped into an explanation about Cashu—how it allows payments to be locked to npubs and the privacy-preserving magic of ecash. I was way out of my depth here but tried to channel my inner nostr:nprofile1qqs9pk20ctv9srrg9vr354p03v0rrgsqkpggh2u45va77zz4mu5p6ccpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9thwden5te0dehhxarj9ehhsarj9ejx2a30qyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnddakj7xph5zr.
You could tell the gears were turning...

He's not on social media at all, and I didn't get him to install Damus on his iPhone, but hey—tomorrow's another day. I’ll be back to badger him some more. 🤣

I also tried to make it clear that Nostr is far more than just social media. It's a tool to run coinjoins, decentralized apps, and essentially a DNS replacement. It’s got the kind of flexibility and potential that someone like Phil could see changing the game.

A massive thanks to the POW Summit and nostr:nprofile1qqsvezz8q3wqlqc8edchd40dll6srm4hsxk02km7ssm9hhgyfnxkvqgpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv9uemt7cx for making this conversation even possible.

Last month we sold 365 BitAxes and made our own mining pool for solo miners.

Little did we know that we where the only solo-pool based in Europe, which makes our pool the lowest latency, zero fee mining pool around. We are currently at 50 TH/s of pure pleb mining.

I’ve been hodling for 10 years.

I’ve been married for 9 years.

I’ve been a father for 6 years.

And I can confidently say that the best things in life, the only things truly worth having… take a lot of time to acquire.

There’s no way around it, you’re going to have to spend significant time and energy on everything worthwhile in life.


Orange pilling with Rick.

We talk money, time, energy and why #Bitcoin is one of the best tools we've ever created.

The harder our money, the better we are.

Time and #Bitcoin are the only assets where no amount of demand can create more supply.

We need #Nostr alternatives to all the sites that throttle VPN usage and force "human verification". The CAPTCHA cat-and-mouse is worse than the ReplyGuy spam. 😅

HODLing and using Bitcoin can be a strange path to follow. At first, you want to try and 'save people'.

Then after a while, you realise you can't save them because lots of people don't want to be saved.

Help the people who are willing to listen, and be patient about it.


do u know the cause why it is not working?


Session lacks PFS & other key security features. I wouldn't recommend it, personally.

Every time the price of a shitcoin pumped low conviction bitcoiners, in it for the wrong reasons made bad trades.

Every bear market we shedded even more.

Yet, bitcoin is top dog. No centralized marketing. Just best product and time.

Stop whining that some other project *claims* to have more users.

Focus on your shit, build the best shit, stop being a pussy.

The real freedom tools with the right incentives will take many many years to find adoption.

Linux took for ever to capture its market.

Bitcoin took forever, still battling gold from behind.

Lower your time preference, or just ring the fucking bell and quit. The loser mentality drags everyone down.

I have nothing else to do but grind on bitcoin and Nostr for the next 20 years.

Learn to have FUN.

Danny and I just wrapped up the final episode of What Bitcoin Did at Bitcoin Park, recording with some of our closest friends in #bitcoin - nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle  , nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx and nostr:npub10cxz2h7n6rumfpuf49zt4uvm7skzqk5u25vesp0tzdtnkvsnwjyqaffcj3, along with special appearances, including my son.

The episode will be released on August 30th. After that, we'll take a week off before launching our new show (the worst-kept secret).

After 7 years, 860 podcasts, countless flights, and visiting about 40 countries, the time is right. Time is precious. I need to travel less and focus on Bedford, the football team, family and bringing to life everything we've discussed over the past 7 years.

I believe we're entering a new era where #bitcoin is a legitimate part of every conversation. Our new show will reflect this, so we’re building a studio in London and evolving the format where #bitcoin is the heartbeat not the headline.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of this. I couldn’t have done any of this without the kindness and generosity of so many of you, especially nostr:npub16le69k9hwapnjfhz89wnzkvf96z8n6r34qqwgq0sglas3tgh7v4sp9ffxj .

great writing advice 👌🏼


it makes sense trust me or verify by reading the docs


theres a saturation attribute of mix nodes and validators which disincentives you to vote too much on one node. also i think its about 150 mix nodes now


I just knew there would be a couple of ignorant maxis complaining about nym having a token.

The amazing design they've come up with, the stellar dev lineup, the extremely strong privacy and anonymity guarantees, the massive improvement over any currently existing solution.. none of that matters to the maxi - nym has a token, therefore they must all be shitcoiners looking for boundless profit.

Or, you know, it could be because they understand something that you maxis don't..


yeah i think because they need to incentivize the mix node ops in a verifiable way
