Still fighting the same battle
The mind is weak the ego is weak
They keep me from reaching my peak.

Time to let go, Time to do more
And lift myself up whenever I feel low

There are 2 voices in my head
They confuse me with all the choices
And keep me from going to bed.

The time has come, to be strong
Undo all the wrong
And relax and maybe write a song

Oh why has this taken me so long
To stop wondering like Alice in Wonderland,
To understand
To give myself a helping hand

Yet, oftentimes I feel like its time to give up
But the fighter in me always shows up

To fight another day
Amidst all the dismay

The EGO I must slay
I guess this is the only way.


Found a poem I wrote in 2021

Still fighting the same battle
The mind is weak the ego is weak
They keep me from reaching my peak.
Time to let go, Time to do more
And lift myself up whenever I feel low
There are 2 voices in my head
They confuse me with all the choices
And keep me from going to bed.
The time has come, to be strong
Undo all the wrong
And relax and maybe write a song
Oh why has this taken me so long
To stop wondering like Alice in Wonderland,
To understand
To give myself a helping hand
Yet, oftentimes I feel like its time to give up
But the fighter in me always shows up
To fight another day
Amidst all the dismay
The EGO I must slay
I guess this is the only way.

GM Misfits,

We've only gone and got @`BenGunn` back on the show for a follow up to our hit episode from 2021.

We have a nice walk around the park in Amsterdam, after a testing couple of years in Bitcoin and the wider world, to share what has worked for him, what hasn't, and his thoughts and plans for the future.

This week has been a period of profound learning for me. After listening to [Whitney Webb on TFTC](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlfZ91Pot-w), I became aware that Microsoft possesses the capability to not only access and analyze your data, utilise it to train their AI models but also has the potential to restrict your access to your own system.

As a result of this, I made the decision to finally make the transition to a Linux operating system. In hindsight, I wish I had made this switch earlier. Currently, I am running a dual-boot setup, with both Microsoft Windows and Linux installed on my machine. However, I've found that I haven't needed to access Windows at all. I plan to continue using Linux for the next few days, and then I intend to completely remove Windows from my daily driver.

In addition to making this transition, I also resolved to undertake the monumental task of organizing and categorizing my files and folders, followed by creating comprehensive backups. While I've always maintained a high level of organization in my digital life, I can't say the same for my physical surroundings. If only we could apply the same "drag and drop" simplicity to real life!

### Podcast Recording
This week I spoke to [Tbone](https://twitter.com/TboneHODL). During our conversation, we delved into various aspects, including an exploration of TBone's identity and his unique understanding of Bitcoin. We discussed how Bitcoin came into his life and the strategies for positioning oneself in the realm of a million-dollar Bitcoin. Additionally, we touched on the significant role of digital privacy, the vulnerabilities of centralised exchanges likened to honeypots, and the application of AI in this context. We also ventured into TBone's carnivore diet and the importance of building a supportive community within the Bitcoin space.

### Personal Challenge
Finally, I had a few consecutive days during which I could barely reach the 21 pull-up mark, but I successfully achieved it. Additionally, I accomplished the feat of completing five pistol squats on each leg.

### Reading and Listening

Upon switching to a Linux distro, I quickly realized that I had a significant amount of learning ahead of me. To facilitate my learning journey, I started searching for podcasts. Initially, I stumbled upon "[Linux Unplugged](https://linuxunplugged.com/)" and devoured several episodes, absorbing their discussions.

In my quest for knowledge, I also discovered a new podcast titled "[Self Hosted](https://selfhosted.show/)," as the name suggests, dedicated to self-hosting topics. My upcoming project involves setting up a home server, a task I've already initiated but still need to complete the full configuration. The ultimate goal is to reduce my reliance on Google services, a challenge I'm eagerly looking forward to addressing.

I'm consistently striving to transition to free and open-source software (FOSS) alternatives, and my next goal is to find a suitable replacement for Notion. Currently, I'm weighing my options between Anytype and AppFlowy, and I must admit, I'm facing a bit of a conundrum in making this decision. If you happen to have experience or insights about either of these options, I'd greatly appreciate hearing from you.

### Podcast Published
Published my chat with V4BTC  the co-founder of [The Bitcoin Way](https://www.thebitcoinway.com/).

Throughout our engaging conversation, we explored a multitude of intriguing topics. These encompassed his extensive 25-year journey in the realm of cybersecurity, providing valuable insights into the evolution of the field. We delved into the serendipitous story of how he stumbled upon Bitcoin and embarked on the path of The Bitcoin Way, unravelling the essence of this approach. He emphasized the significance of making No-KYC purchases, illuminating the importance of maintaining privacy. We also uncovered the critical role of running a node in securing the Bitcoin network and discussed the essential steps to attain true financial sovereignty by becoming your own bank. Lastly, we touched upon the vital importance of open-source software in the world of technology and its enduring impact on innovation and security.

This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man.[a] That number is 666."

The day before


Sick you are  in Japan now

Don't miss Halloween night


Hey Jack! Reddit rugged their Moons token used by the /r/Cryptocurrency subreddit. Moons were essentially community points on Ethereum. They gained traction this past year and even got listed on Kraken. Lots of people started to buy them, trade them, horde them, etc. Reddit announced recently that they were sunsetting the program and all of the whales dumped their bags. Lots of people feel betrayed.

So, I figured that since these users appreciated creating content and getting paid for it, why not tell them about Nostr, highlight Zaps, and how we're building a value for value decentralized economy here.

I made a post on Reddit in their cryptocurrency subreddit. It's currently at 50K views and 400 comments. It's doing really well. I've been answering questions all afternoon and on-boarding people to Nostr. 🤙🏻💜🫂

Pura vida.

### Podcast Recording

I had the pleasure of hosting some friends for a few days, which temporarily sidelined my recording this week. However, engaging in conversations aimed at "orange-pilling" individuals unfamiliar with Bitcoin and explaining the rationale behind my use of a graphene phone while steering clear of conventional social media platforms served as a vivid reminder of just how early we are.
On another note, I'm currently in the process of transforming my article, "[Yugas, Pyramids, and Bitcoin](https://yakihonne.com/article/naddr1qqd4jat8v9ejcgzs09exzmtfv3ejqctwvssyy6t5vdhkjmszyqu0ngzurcvgqsg23x2rymu0y3z74u30nv4kcy7j7zgcmxtfn87qgqcyqqq823ceh0hk5 into a presentation)," into a presentation. My intention is to present it at the upcoming Bitcoin Bush Bash (for those wondering what that is, check out the details [here](https://yakihonne.com/article/naddr1qq2h236xdadxy6rt8pnrzdeswdf8ssjh2dj5jq3q8ru6qhq7rzqyzz5fjsexlreygh40ytum9dkp85hsjxxej6velszqxpqqqp65wjfkecu)). The prospect of speaking in front of an audience makes me quite nervous, but as T. Harv Eker wisely noted, "The only time you are actually growing is when you are uncomfortable."

### Personal Challenge

[Last week](https://open.substack.com/pub/btchoneybadger/p/weekly-update-24092023-508?r=2tahnu&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web), I mentioned my focus on Pistol squats. I am pleased to report that I can now execute 3 clean pistol squats on each leg. My target is to reach 5 by the end of this month

As in previous weeks, my dedication to enhancing my pull-up performance remains steadfast. I'm consistently striving for my challenging target of reaching 21 pull-ups, although I presently find myself in the 17-18 range.

Additionally, I'm gearing up for another Jiu-Jitsu competition, which demands a rigorous training regimen. Regrettably, I've been sidestepping the demanding Comp Class at my Jiu-Jitsu academy for the past few months. The Comp Class is a gruelling 2-hour session inspired by the legendary[ Gene LeBell](https://judogene.com/), often dubbed "The Godfather of Grappling." Notably, Gene is rumored to have inspired the character of Cliff Booth portrayed by Brad Pitt in Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood." Nevertheless, starting next week, I am resolute in my commitment to attend these sessions without fail.

### Reading and Listening

During this week, I was particularly struck by Daniel Prince's podcast featuring the founder of A[bove Phone](https://abovephone.com/). They delved into the significance of distancing ourselves from major corporations and safeguarding our data. Additionally, the conversation covered the effects of EMFs (Electromagnetic Frequencies) on our well-being, especially those emanating from WiFi, Bluetooth, and cellular radiation sources. You can give it a listen right [here](https://fountain.fm/episode/aPhikotzs9TBr9sixxou).
I also found Guy's discussion with Obi quite enlightening. It was reassuring to discover that I'm not the only one who had misconceptions about the extent of UX design. Obi's understanding of UX deepened through his team's insights, and he grasped the concept well. In his conversation with Guy, he drew a fascinating analogy, likening it to the Tesla supercharger network that Tesla users can tap into, just as a petrol car depends on the availability of car mechanics. You can give it a listen right [here.

### Podcast Published

Published my chat with Monika, a transformational psychotherapist focusing on unburdening the limited and programmed beliefs to help transition people into thriving sovereign beings. Recently orange pilled pleb.  This is her [website](http://www.therapyandbeyondcenter.com/)
In our conversation, we covered a wide range of topics, including the intriguing chemical reactions she experienced from taking the orange pill, her experiences attending conferences, her background, and the distinctions between Bitcoin and traditional finance (Trad-fi). We delved into her personal journey of self-discovery, the concept of Internal Family Systems, and how Bitcoin provided her with valuable real-world insights. We also touched on the issue of censorship on various platforms and the unique perspective of "The Namaste of Bitcoin."

## Why Nostr?
**Historical Context of Censorship**
Censorship is a historical phenomenon deeply ingrained in human civilisation, tracing its roots back to recorded history. Throughout the ages, various forms of censorship have existed, ranging from the suppression of political dissent to the restriction of artistic expression. Governments, institutions, and powerful entities have often sought to control and manipulate the flow of information, either to maintain social order but, predominantly, to advance their own agendas. This historical context underscores the notion that censorship has always played a role in shaping the narrative of societies.

**The Digital Age Struggle: Navigating the Battle for Our Attention**

> “Time and attention are the ultimate currencies. There is a reason why we "spend" the first and "pay" the latter.” - Gigi

![image](https://i.nostr.build/ARaM.png)

In the contemporary digital landscape, a formidable challenge has emerged, one that affects us all on a daily basis: **the fierce competition for our attention**. Today, our electronic devices have transformed into gateways leading us into a sprawling digital realm meticulously designed to keep us perpetually hooked. Among the most prominent culprits are social media applications, which deploy intricate algorithms that scrutinise our preferences and behaviours. These algorithms then craft content tailored specifically to our interests, creating an environment where disengagement seems increasingly implausible. Moreover, the autoplay and infinite scroll features found in short-form video platforms coax us into ceaseless consumption.

In this context, "attention" assumes the role of a highly coveted currency in exchange for utilising what is often labelled as "free services." Big tech social media platforms are at the forefront of this attention-driven paradigm. They employ an arsenal of techniques, sometimes ethically questionable, to ensure users remain entrenched within their ecosystems. Features like infinite scrolling, push notifications, and personalised content feeds are intentionally designed to cultivate a continuous and habit-forming user experience, making disengagement a formidable challenge.

While they offer free access to their platforms, they expertly monetize our time and attention through the strategic display of precisely targeted advertisements. The longer they can keep us engrossed, the more opportunities arise to inundate us with ads, thereby enhancing their revenue streams.

Dergigi strongly captures this idea, emphasising that "**time and attention are the ultimate currencies**." This idea highlights how important these intangible resources are in the modern digital economy. It's crucial to recognise that this exchange is special because, as we can easily spend our time, we fail to recognise that it can't be replaced or renewed.

Furthermore, these platforms wield considerable authority in determining who can participate within their digital domains and exercise discretion over what content is permissible. Although they may establish community guidelines and content policies, the opaque nature of decision-making processes sometimes gives rise to concerns regarding censorship and its implications for free speech.
In summary, the modern digital age is marked by a relentless struggle for our most precious resource: our time and attention. This dynamic is most evident in big tech social media platforms, which deftly leverage our attention as a valuable asset in their quest for profit. While these platforms offer numerous conveniences and opportunities for connection, they also present a host of challenges, including the use of addictive techniques, the opacity of content algorithms, concerns over censorship, and the prevalence of spam and bots. Navigating this intricate landscape requires a keen awareness of the transaction occurring between users and these platforms—a transaction that hinges on the finite and invaluable currency of our time and attention.

## The Internet's Information Landscape:

The internet, while offering unprecedented access to information, is also plagued by the proliferation of misinformation, disinformation, and the existence of bot farms. Misinformation is false or misleading information shared without malicious intent, while disinformation is deliberately false information spread to deceive or manipulate. Bot farms, on the other hand, are networks of automated accounts designed to amplify certain messages or viewpoints. These elements have the potential to distort our perception of reality, spread falsehoods, and undermine trust in the information ecosystem.
While censorship has historically been wielded by those in power to control information flow, the digital age has introduced new complexities. The constant battle for our attention, coupled with the challenges of navigating an information landscape filled with deceptive content, presents modern society with a unique set of challenges in the realm of information and communication. As we navigate these challenges, it becomes increasingly important to exercise critical thinking, media literacy, and ethical digital citizenship to ensure that our access to information remains a valuable and reliable resource.
Nonetheless, it's not unexpected that the competition for our attention has led to the prevalence of "you are the product" business models and the widespread adoption of subscription-based walled gardens. These developments are the natural result of the incentive to capture users and their valuable data. Similarly, the prevalence of clickbait headlines and sensationalism should not shock us; they are the organic outcomes of the evolutionary pressure to attract as many eyeballs and occupy as many brain cycles as possible.
Is there analternative?
Yes.

## What is Nostr?

> "Governments are good at cutting off the heads of centrally controlled networks like Napster, but pure P2P networks like Gnutella and Tor seem to be holding their own." - Satoshi Nakamoto

![image](https://i.nostr.build/ZBVQ.png)

Nostr is an acronym which stands for **Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays**

Nostr represents an emerging network that operates on a decentralised protocol, offering an accessible gateway for anyone to seamlessly join and promptly engage with a global community of individuals.

Nostr is both novel and intriguing, encapsulating a blend of simplicity and innovation. At its core, it stands as a pioneering open protocol designed to establish a censorship-resistant global "social" network once and for all. What sets it apart are its fundamental principles:

**Decentralised Resilience**: It operates without reliance on any centralised server, rendering it remarkably resilient in the face of potential disruptions.

**Tamper Proof Security**: Nostr leans on cryptographic keys and signatures, ensuring the integrity of data and making it impervious to tampering.

**Reliable Functionality**: In contrast to traditional peer-to-peer (P2P) methods, it offers a reliable and robust framework for operation.

**Understanding Protocols**: Protocols, much like the principles governing mathematics and language, are neutral systems. They are accessible to all, and no single entity possesses overarching control. This absence of centralised authority is a key factor contributing to the system's resilience.

**Capabilities Empowered by Nostr**:  Nostr introduces several capabilities that enhance the online communication experience:

*Versatile Event Formats*: It provides a simple and adaptable event format that accommodates a wide range of content types, from social media posts and extensive written content to rich media and e-commerce offerings.

*Verified User Identity*: Nostr enhances user security by ensuring that all notes originate from specific, identifiable users, thus effectively countering spam and bot-related issues.

*Censorship Resistance*: Users have the freedom to connect with multiple relays and even establish their own. This decentralised structure makes it challenging to suppress ideas or silence individuals.

*Integration with Lightning*: Nostr seamlessly integrates with the Lightning Network, enabling innovative value-for-value business models that hold the potential to foster greater fairness in online interactions.

## Benefits of using Nostr

**Autonomy in Self-Expression**: Nostr provides users with a unique degree of autonomy in expressing their thoughts, ideas, and opinions, unlike many big tech social media platforms, where content moderation and external measures like de-platforming are commonly employed.

**Protection from Debanking**: Some big tech platforms collaborate with payment processors or financial institutions, which can result in the suspension or restriction of users' financial accounts based on their online activities. Nostr's decentralised model, by design, reduces the risk of debanking since it doesn't rely on centralised financial intermediaries.

**Diverse Perspectives and Voices**: By eliminating the need for external measures like de-platforming and debanking, Nostr creates a space where diverse perspectives and voices can coexist. Users are encouraged to engage in discussions and share their thoughts openly, fostering a more inclusive environment where controversial or unconventional viewpoints can be expressed without fear of punitive actions.

**Empowerment of User Communities**: Nostr's approach empowers user communities to determine their own standards and rules. Instead of relying on a central authority to dictate content moderation policies, users can collectively shape the rules and guidelines that govern their interactions. This democratic approach enables communities to tailor their experience according to their values and preferences.

However, in giving users all these super-powers, always remember what Uncle Ben said to young Peter Parker;

>  “With great power comes great responsibility”

With greater autonomy comes increased responsibility. Users on Nostr are encouraged to exercise self-moderation and promote responsible discourse within their communities. The absence of external measures like de-platforming necessitates a commitment to respectful and constructive communication, reinforcing a sense of individual and collective accountability.

In essence, Nostr's decentralised model provides users with a platform where they can freely express their views, engage in open dialogue, and connect with like-minded individuals, all while reducing the need for external interventions like de-platforming and debanking. This approach not only empowers users but also promotes a more inclusive and diverse digital landscape where the exchange of ideas is valued and protected.

## How Nostr works?

![image](https://i.nostr.build/djy4.png)

The Nostr network comprises two fundamental components: **clients** and **relays**.

**Clients** serve as the user interface through which individuals interact with the network, enabling them to both access and contribute data to the system. In the context of social media, think of clients as analogous to the Twitter web or mobile app. These clients facilitate the reading and writing of data to Twitter's centralised database. Learn more about Clients [here](https://nostr.how/en/clients)

**Relays**, on the other hand, can be likened to databases, although their role extends beyond mere data storage. Relays serve as data repositories where clients can transmit information for storage. Subsequently, clients can retrieve stored data from relays to present to users.
Learn more about Relays [here](https://nostr.how/en/relays)

To use Nostr, you don't need to use any personal data.

Every participant within the Nostr network possesses a unique public key. Every action, whether it involves posting a message or modifying a following list, undergoes a digital signing process. Clients play a crucial role in verifying these signatures, ensuring their authenticity.

## How to Nostr?
*This section addresses how to use Nostr*

**Public Key (Username)**: This key serves as your username and can be shared with others as it's public.

**Private Key (Password)**: Similar to a password, with one significant distinction. Unlike passwords, private keys cannot be reset if lost. This key must be kept confidential. It grants access to your account across all platforms powered by Nostr.

Typically, public keys are presented as strings prefixed with 'npub1,' while private keys use the prefix 'nsec1.' It is essential to securely store your private key, much like you would with a password. To emphasise, losing your private key means losing access to your Nostr account, and if someone else gains access to it, they can take control of your account. Furthermore, unlike passwords you can not reset your private keys. Keep them safe!

Acquiring your set of keys is a straightforward process. You select a client for the Nostr protocol, such as Snort (web), Damus (iOS), or Amethyst (Android), and it generates the keys for you. For added security on the web, you can use an external signer application like the [Alby browser extension](https://getalby.com/) or the nos2x extension. You also have the option to generate custom private keys using tools like [rana](https://orangepill.dev/nostr-guides/guide-nostr-key-generation-and-management/).

### Podcast Recording
Yet another week filled with podcast adventures! This time, got something extra special in store as we dive headfirst into the world of bitcoin with none other than V4BTC, the Co-founder of The Bitcoin Way, and the dynamic duo behind the 2BitIdiots podcast, Hats and Brendo.

In my conversation with V4BTC, we delved into a variety of intriguing topics. First and foremost, we explored his extensive 25-year journey in the realm of cybersecurity, which provided valuable insights into the evolution of digital security. We then ventured into his fascinating discovery of Bitcoin and its transformative potential. The concept of "The Bitcoin Way" was another key point of discussion, shedding light on the principles and philosophies that underpin the Bitcoin community. We also delved into the importance of purchasing Bitcoin through No-KYC (Know Your Customer) avenues, emphasizing privacy and decentralization.

During our conversation with the 2bitidiots, we explored various intriguing topics. These included their reasons for taking a pause from podcasting, their insights on running a node, their thoughts on the prevalence of "Bullshit Jobs" in society, as well as discussions surrounding artificial intelligence and Nostr. Additionally, we delved into whether Brendo's perspective on the spiritual aspect of Bitcoin had undergone any changes.

Don't forget to follow the podcast on [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/show/2goo7oFRj8rVTd6mgonuwP), [Apple](https://podcasts.apple.com/nl/podcast/dabbling-path/id1585836244), [Fountain ](https://fountain.fm/show/tPBWCEAPOojsErjvO110)or your favourite [podcasting app](https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/dashboard/home) to catch all the insightful conversations!

### Bitcoin Design Community
The [collaborative effort](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmEspYNHuO8) between the Bitcoin design community and [Peach Bitcoin](https://peachbitcoin.com/) to enhance the user experience and user interface (UX/UI) was truly eye-opening. It offered a unique glimpse into the world of design and technology. Seasoned designers, well-versed in the nuances of UX/UI, lent their expertise, providing invaluable feedback and recommendations. Their participation illuminated the intricate web of challenges and complexities that are woven into the fabric of user experience and interface design.

They also delved into topics such as integrating lighting solutions, exploring social elements within peer-to-peer (P2P) transactions, and striving to become the premier app for Bitcoin trades, all while upholding the core ethos of Bitcoin.

Overall, this collaboration highlighted the dedication of the Bitcoin community to continually improve the user experience, making it more accessible and user-friendly. Design is not just about aesthetics but is a crucial component in simplifying complex technology and making it more approachable for a broader audience.

Being an advocate for No-KYC solutions, I was able to offer my 2 SATs too.

### Personal Challenge

Much like in the previous weeks, my commitment to improving my pull-ups remains unwavering. I'm diligently working towards my ambitious goal of achieving 21 pull-ups but currently find myself hovering around the 17-18 mark. Nevertheless, I'm determined to persist and keep pushing my limits.

[Last week](https://yakihonne.com/article/naddr1qq2h236xdadxy6rt8pnrzdeswdf8ssjh2dj5jq3q8ru6qhq7rzqyzz5fjsexlreygh40ytum9dkp85hsjxxej6velszqxpqqqp65wjfkecu), I mentioned my focus on Pistol squats. I am pleased to report that I can now execute 3 clean pistol squats on each leg. My target is to reach 5 by the end of this month

Furthermore, I have plans to participate in another Jiu-Jitsu competition, which necessitates consistent training. Over the past few months, I've been avoiding the gruelling Comp Class, a challenging 2-hour session inspired by a legendary figure in the MMA and fighting world (details to follow next week). However, I am now committed to attending these sessions moving forward.

### Reading and Listening
I haven’t been reading much lately. But been consuming a lot of audio content. One pod that listened to twice this week was Tetragram, Rick Rubit with Carnivore Aurelias. They covered a lot of great points regarding health, diet, sleep and much more.

The points that really stuck out were;

**Our skin is like our mouth**: If you are not going to eat it don’t put it on your skin. Have to re-evaluate the soaps, shampoo and creams we use. Also, I plan to get a shower head filter to avoid bathing in heavy metals.

**Elimination diet**: The concept of only eating one type of food and eliminating the rest is a significant benefit as it removes all items that one might be allergic to but may not be aware of.

**Insoluble fibres**: Eating a raw carrot, acts as a binding agent in the gut to clean out unwanted food that would otherwise lay dormant in there.

Really recommend that you [check it out](https://fountain.fm/episode/5OYJ09K4wZxWm8ex24ry)

### Podcast Published
Published my chat with  the man behind, the first Bitcoin school, [theschoolofbtc](https://theschoolofbitcoin.com/),   [KieranDNolan ](kdnolan.com)

In our conversation, we covered a range of intriguing topics. We explored his background and the motivations behind establishing a Bitcoin school. He shared his journey of discovering Bitcoin and discussed the distinctions between project-based and problem-based learning. We also delved into his innovative approach to building the first cloud-based school and the insights gained from the Bitcoin school, as well as his vision for a decentralized autonomous education system (DAES). Additionally, we touched upon his involvement in the "getoffzero" podcast, the role of AI as a tool.

Three weeks ago, I embarked on a journey by launching a weekly newsletter through Substack. What spurred me to kickstart this newsletter was the concept of "working in public." This newsletter serves as a means for me to hold myself accountable. With the first two editions published, I have received some incredibly valuable feedback.

However, in alignment with the cyberpunk ethos, "information longs to be free," I now realize that it was unwise to confine it behind the walls of an "enter an email address" barrier. Consequently, I've chosen to share the same content, my Nostr long-form NIPs, and set this information free.

### Introducing the [Bitcoin Bush Bash!](https://bitcoinbushbash.info/) 🌿

Picture this: A gathering that's part meet-up, part conference, and all about the wonderful world of Bitcoin. It's where passionate Bitcoin enthusiasts from all corners of Australia come together in remote locations to connect, learn, and immerse themselves in everything Bitcoin and its related concepts.
But here's the exciting part: At one such memorable Bush Bash, a few of us had a brilliant idea. We wanted to take our exploration of Bitcoin beyond the technical, diving deep into the philosophical aspects of this incredible magic internet money. To make this vision a reality, we needed the perfect setting, a place that resonated with the profound nature of our discussions. And what place could be more awe-inspiring than the majestic Himalayas?

Therefore to I decided what better way to make my case than writing about my experience in these mystical mountains. Here, [Expeditions into the Heart of the Himalayas: A Journey of Cultural Immersion, Natural Wonder, and Exploration](https://yakihonne.com/article/naddr1qq4y27rsv4jxjarfdahzq6tww3hjqargv5sysetpwf6zqmmxyp6xsefqfp5k6ctvv9ukzuczyqu0ngzurcvgqsg23x2rymu0y3z74u30nv4kcy7j7zgcmxtfn87qgqcyqqq823ck4txls) - In this blog, I shared my incredible experiences and insights gained from time amongst these giants.

### Podcast Recording
Another thought-provoking week, I had the chance to record two fantastic podcasts! One was with [Monika B](http://@burra_monika). Monika comes to Bitcoin from a philosophical side, she found orange glow from sharing meatspace with fellow Bitcoiners at Baltic Honeybadger and Bit Block Bloom. Tune in here about her journey and why she believes bitcoin is hope.

The other featured Matt Hill, he is the co-founder of [Start9](https://start9.com/). Matt blew my mind, We explored his evolution into a technologist and the captivating origin tale of Start 9. Matt shed light on the compelling concept of Sovereign Computing and why it's crucial in today's digital landscape. He also unpacked why the serverless movement might not be all it's cracked up to be. Lastly, we contemplated the impending "bill" and the lingering effects of cloud computing, hinting at a hangover that's yet to fully materialize.

Stay tuned because these exciting episodes will be hitting the airwaves in the coming weeks!
Don't forget to follow the podcast on [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/show/2goo7oFRj8rVTd6mgonuwP), [Apple](https://podcasts.apple.com/nl/podcast/dabbling-path/id1585836244), [Fountain ](https://fountain.fm/show/tPBWCEAPOojsErjvO110)or your favourite [podcasting app](https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/dashboard/home) to catch all the insightful conversations!

### Personal Challenge

Over the past week, I've been consistently working on my pull-ups, aiming for that impressive target of 21 because, why not? However, it seems like I've hit a bit of a plateau around the 15-17 mark. Nevertheless, I'm determined to persist and keep pushing my limits.

Inspired by "Reading Mind, Decentralised: Becoming Masterless," I embarked on the challenge of mastering pistol squats. The beginning was tough, but I'm pleased to share that I can now perform three clean pistol squats on each leg. As always, I'm committed to raising the bar and continuing my progress.

Reminder as Jocko Willink wisely says, we should set goals that can never truly be completed—just like aiming to get Stronger, Faster, Smarter, Friendlier, and Better.

### Reading and Listening
As you will soon find out, I read multiple books before finishing one, I still have to finish "Mind, Decentralised: Becoming Masterless" by Rob Brinded. But I am currently reading, [Design is Storytelling](https://www.cooperhewitt.org/publications/design-is-storytelling/) by Ellen Lupton. In this book, there are lots of helpful tools and ideas shown in pictures and easy-to-understand ways. These tools can help designers make their work more like a story.
I tuned into my regular weekly podcast Rabbit Hole Recap

### Podcast Published
Since last week, I published my chat with K3tan co-founder of Ministry of Nodes.

We covered a wide range of topics, from K3tan's background and his Bitcoin journey to the idea that running a node is a self-serving act. We delved into self-hosting, emphasizing the right to repair and how computers are instruments of freedom. We also explored the nuances of running a standalone node versus one with other applications, drawing parallels with self-custody being akin to driving a car. Additionally, we touched on best practices for self-custody, the distinctions between single signature and multi-signature setups, the concept of stateless hardware devices, derivation paths, and effective UTXO management.

### **Work in the Bitcoin Open-Source Community**

Over the past few weeks, I've had the pleasure of being part of the amazing [Bitcoin design community](https://bitcoin.design/). This community is all about supporting designers and developers who are passionate about Bitcoin-related projects. Right now, I'm lending a hand with research to help improve the Bitcoin core wallet, and it's been an incredible journey so far. I've had the opportunity to put my UX research skills to the test and collaborate with some true industry experts, making this experience truly rewarding!

### **Articles Written**

I've been working on "The WHY, WHAT, and HOW of NOSTR," a piece that dives into the reasons for using Nostr and provides actionable insights. Bitcoin Magazine is currently giving it a once-over, and if it doesn't make it there, I'll happily share it on Medium and HablaNews. Stay tuned!

I've always been able to knock out 10 clean pull-ups, but recently, I decided to take it up a notch. Exciting news—today, I hit a personal best of 17 clean pull-ups! My goal is to keep pushing that number higher because, as Jocko Willink wisely says, we should set goals that can never truly be completed—just like aiming to get Stronger, Faster, Smarter, Friendlier, and Better.

###
**Reading and Listening**

Right now, I'm diving into "[Mind, Decentralised: Becoming Masterless](https://www.amazon.com/Mind-Decentralised-Masterless-Rob-Brinded/dp/9916723354/)" by Rob Brinded. It's a captivating book that chronicles his incredible 30-year quest to unlock the secrets of optimal health and well-being. This journey all started with a powerful insight while studying top athletes and delves deep into the nature of physical pain.
This week, I had a blast listening to the "Money Matters" podcast featuring [Jack Mallers and Dr. Paul Saladino](https://open.spotify.com/episode/0NMnXtDZ8WKRovAtgG3E4o) – definitely worth checking out!

**Introduction**

Embarking on three distinct expeditions into the heart of the Himalayas has been a profound and evolving journey, one that has led me to uncover deeper layers of the region's multifaceted allure. Each of these expeditions has unveiled unique facets of Himalayan culture, cuisine, natural beauty, and spiritual resonance. This essay chronicles my multiple sojourns among the Himalayan peaks, where I ventured into remote villages accessible solely by foot, immersed myself in the daily lives of villagers, communed with the elements by bathing beneath ice-cold waterfalls and leaping across frigid rivers, stood awestruck before the towering grandeur of the mountains, and explored ancient temples resonating with centuries of spiritual wisdom.

**Exploring Diverse Cultures**
![](https://i.nostr.build/3AGk.jpg)

With each visit to the Himalayas, I delved deeper into the myriad cultures that thrive in this region, each time discovering new facets of their unique traditions, languages, and belief systems. These repeated experiences allowed me to form lasting connections with the people and witness the subtle changes in their daily lives, emphasizing the continuity and resilience of Himalayan culture.

**Culinary Adventures**
![](https://i.nostr.build/EjRM.png)

Himalayan cuisine remained a highlight of my journeys, with each visit allowing me to sample new dishes and flavors. Revisiting the region's culinary delights offered a unique opportunity to deepen my understanding of the local gastronomy. With each return, I learned more about the traditional cooking methods and the significance of food in Himalayan culture.

**Journeying to Remote Villages**

![](https://i.nostr.build/jzgM.jpg)

My multiple visits to the Himalayas afforded me the privilege of repeatedly trekking to remote villages, many of which lacked road access. These isolated hamlets, accessible only on foot, became familiar yet ever-enchanting destinations. As I retraced my steps through dense forests, across treacherous paths, and along steep cliffs, I continued to be awed by the raw, untouched beauty of nature.

**Living Among Villagers**
![](https://i.nostr.build/JQR5.jpg)

Each return to the Himalayas allowed me to deepen my connection with the villagers, as I revisited their simple yet welcoming homes, shared meals, and immersed myself in their daily lives. Living among the villagers became a homecoming of sorts, reinforcing the sense of community that thrived in these remote corners of the world. My repeated interactions enabled me to witness the resilience and adaptability of these Himalayan communities over time.

**Nature's Cold Embrace**
![](https://i.nostr.build/rjAd.jpg)

Bathing under ice-cold waterfalls and leaping across frigid rivers remained a thrilling part of my Himalayan adventures, even as I embraced these challenges with each return. The shared experiences with locals, including shepherds, taught me that discomfort can be a powerful tool for self-discovery and a deeper connection with the environment.

**Exploring Ancient Temples**
![](https://i.nostr.build/wDOA.jpg)

In addition to my cultural and natural explorations, my three journeys into the Himalayas allowed me to delve into the region's spiritual heritage by visiting ancient temples. These sacred sites, steeped in centuries of history and wisdom, provided a unique perspective on the spiritual significance of the Himalayas. Each visit to these temples was a pilgrimage of sorts, allowing me to absorb the tranquility and spiritual energy that pervaded these ancient sanctuaries.

**Stargazing**

![](https://i.nostr.build/ZalQ.jpg)

Nestled high in the Himalayas, where light pollution vanishes into obscurity, a moonless night unveils the cosmos in all its splendor. With the naked eye, I gaze skyward and witness a fraction of the Milky Way galaxy, a breathtaking cosmic ribbon of stars, dust, and light. Each pinpoint of brilliance tells a story, a testament to the vastness of our universe. In this pristine, high-altitude sanctuary, I am humbled by the sheer majesty of the celestial spectacle, a reminder of our place in the grand tapestry of the cosmos.

**The Boys**
![](https://i.nostr.build/Oq7O.jpg)
Within the village, I earned the nickname "photo" due to my constant companion: a DSLR camera draped around my neck. While most of the local children were quite timid, I struck up a conversation with four young boys one day and sought their permission to capture a photograph.

![](https://i.nostr.build/aj8M.jpg)

The resulting image showcases their candid moment. Subsequently, I captured their unfiltered reactions as they gazed upon their own faces displayed on the screen of my DSLR.

Conclusion

My three expeditions into the heart of the Himalayas have been a remarkable journey of cultural immersion, natural wonder, and spiritual exploration. These repeated visits have allowed me to deepen my connections with the region's diverse cultures, savor its exotic cuisine, trek to remote villages, live among villagers, embrace the challenges of nature, and explore the ancient temples that hold the spiritual essence of the Himalayas. The continuity of my Himalayan experiences has reinforced the profound connection between humanity and the environment, emphasizing the importance of preserving both for future generations. These multiple visits to the Himalayas have left an indelible mark on my soul, guiding me towards a lifelong appreciation for the region's treasures, both cultural and natural.

STATEMENT REGARDING MY TWITTER/X ACCOUNT

Today, my Twitter/X account was permanently banned and my appeal to have it overturned was denied.

There was no warning issued, no 2 week suspension, no option to delete the offending tweet. Just straight permanent deplatform.

My offending tweet?

"Bring back the guillotine."

I quote tweeted this sentence to the video presented here on 3rd September.

https://twitter.com/i/status/1698249077061009496

Someone reported the tweet and my account was irretrievably shut down on the basis of violating rules against violent speech.

The vaccines (and vaccine mandates) caused so much harm to people all over the world. Many lost their livelihoods, incomes, businesses, marriages, families, confidence and will to live. Some lost their good health and worse, some lost their lives. The coercion to get vaccinated was immense, and to be told "it was a choice" is a kick to the teeth. Today, many regret having taken the vaccine.

My crime? I dared open up the conversation on how best to hold decision makers accountable for their decisions.

Meanwhile, other Twitter handles are able to post these and keep their accounts. The inconsistencies and arbitrary nature of these suspensions is ashtonishing.

https://image.nostr.build/a1b456c03a938e3bbe2f89e6eccad0424088aae132844053fd519e80a853ba0c.jpg

Having said that, I fully accept the consequences of my actions.

On a brighter, more productive note, I'm proud to have educated thousands on my YouTube channel (Ministry of Nodes) on how to hold their own keys and run their own Bitcoin node such that these arbitrary decisions can't be made with people's money. I'm convinced it will get worse, and that we need Bitcoin more than ever.

As part of my educational content, I also sell plug & play Bitcoin Nodeboxes to those who want to quickly get up and running without the steep learning curve that goes behind it. Have a watch of how easy it can be.

***Here WIP is an acronym for “Working in Public” and not “Work in Progress” but let me demonstrate why “Working in Public” is also “Work in Progress”***

My introduction to the concept of "working in public" was met with initial scepticism. The term seemed worlds apart from my world view like something reserved for influencers and social media enthusiasts. However, my perspective shifted dramatically when I encountered the work of Nadia Eghbal. Her insights and experiences helped me understand the concept better and appreciate its significance in my own professional life. What's more, my journey also led me to the [Bitcoin Design Community](https://bitcoin.design/), a free open-source community that helps designers and developers working on bitcoin-products.

### Overcoming Initial Reservations

When I first heard about "working in public," I couldn't help but associate it with the influencer culture that dominates social media today. It seemed like a buzzword, a trendy phrase used to attract attention and followers. After all, what could working in public possibly have to do with my world of design thinking, user experience, and problem-solving?

## The Impact of Nadia Eghbal's Work

My venture into comprehending "working in public" took an unexpected turn when I stumbled upon the body of work created by Nadia Eghbal. A prominent figure within the open-source software realm, Nadia not only advocates for this approach but also lives it out day in and day out. Her writings and experiences provided a roadmap that helped me grok the concept on a much deeper level.
Here are some key takeaways from my dabblings on this concept:

### 1. Transparency Is Not Self-Promotion

The perspective on "working in public" underscores the fact that it's not about showcasing your work solely for self-promotion. Instead, it's about being transparent about your processes, struggles, and successes. By sharing your journey, you open doors for others to learn, contribute, and engage.
### 2. Fostering Community

“Working in public" also assists with building a supportive community. When you share your work openly, you invite others to participate, collaborate, and provide feedback. This collaborative spirit can lead to the creation of something greater than you could achieve alone.

### 3. Learning from Others

Through Nadia's stories, I realized that "working in public" is not just about broadcasting your work but also about learning from others. When you open up your processes to public scrutiny, you invite diverse perspectives and insights that can significantly improve your work.
4. Navigating Challenges Together
Nadia's candid discussions regarding the challenges she encountered while "working in public" resonated deeply with me. Being transparent, especially when dealing with setbacks or criticism, is not always easy. However, by sharing these moments, you demonstrate resilience and the willingness to overcome obstacles, which can inspire others facing similar challenges.
Embracing "Working in Public" and the Bitcoin Design Community
My journey introduced me to the Bitcoin Design Community—a dynamic, open-source collective dedicated to assisting designers and developers working on bitcoin-related projects. This community embodies the principles of "working in public," championing collaboration, transparency, and innovation.

### Conclusion

"Working in public" doesn't just mean showcasing a polished final product. It's also about embracing the journey, acknowledging that the process itself is a valuable work in progress. By sharing our challenges, mistakes, and ongoing efforts, we invite others to witness the evolution of our work and ourselves. It's a commitment to transparency and growth, where every step taken, every obstacle faced, and every lesson learned becomes part of the narrative. "Working in public" is, in essence, "work in progress" made visible and collaborative, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and shared learning.

***Hence we conclude that WIP equal to Working in public and work in progress***

### Embarking on a Transparent Journey

With my newfound understanding. I've embarked on my unique interpretation of "working in public." As a result, I've made the choice to not only share my weekly podcasting journey, articles I write, and design work I do but also my personal challenges like improving the number of pull-ups. I aim to openly share my challenges, insights, and occasional successes. This endeavour isn't driven by a desire for validation or recognition; it's about holding myself accountable. The only person I try to influence is myself.
Additionally, I may also share podcasts, blogs, software tools and other stuff I find interesting.

Imagine a world where you can't buy anything without the (implied) consent of the state, where every transaction is recorded and stored forever in a database that the government controls.

A world in which you could be forced to buy things the state favors or be excluded from those the state doesn't like.

A world where money no longer buys freedom, but is a means of total control over your every decision, action and movement.

This world may be closer than you think. Big brother is watching, and this is just the beginning:

Don’t be frustrated if your vision of bitcoin does not align with that of other users. Bitcoin will naturally converge upon the least common denominator of human consensus – that which is beneficial (or at least not harmful) to the greatest subset of participants.
