for years I've been mistreated and ridiculed by some on the basis of "you don't use your _real name_"
now "they fight you" stage is in and these same people are posting "hOw dO we protect DEVS in FOSS?!"
pathetic
yep... and if you are not a runner - just fast walking / elevating heart rate through breathing is also fine.
it's more about changing the environment... and then coming back to where you were with clearer head (you filtered what you can influence, you have let go of what you can't).
Obviously we'll discuss how zaps enable creators to directly monetize their content... and the great work Primal & @miljan are doing. Plus great evangelizing by @paulinthejungle!
For me, 2024 is all about helping expand the reach of #Bitcoin tech to as many people as possible.
Recent actions by governments worldwide show that our time to act is limited. While I don't see any chance for Bitcoin to fail, there will be a big struggle over how many people will meaningfully join the network.
Amid rising BTC/USD rate, noise from those preoccupied with their self-centered agendas, and outright scams pushed by bad actors, it's challenging to stay focused and ensure you’re part of Bitcoin's bright future.

What I’ve done over the recent months was all to push forward components that I see as critical for Bitcoin to reach as many people as possible:
- Voucher Plugin: I demoed this with @jack to show how we can have this tech as part of FOSS stack and streamline onboarding people through a network of merchants. In the second half of 2024, I will release the final version, once all other pieces are in place.

- Bolt Card Functionality: @NicolasDorier integrated it directly into @btcpayserver, and we battle-tested it during @bitcoinatlantis. The final release is coming soon for all who want to create their own Bolt Card Banks.
- Point of Sale: The work that @Pavlenex, @kukks, @d11n, @ndeet did along with other BTCPay contributors over the last year on this front has been amazing. And then @Blink – The Everyday Bitcoin Wallet plugin along with Bitcoinize device creates a perfect setup. I’ll continue to support and participate in POS deployments because refining this technology is crucial, so it’s the best possible for circular economies that want to deploy it.
- Payroll Plugin: I'm dedicated to solo development and evangelism whenever possible - I derive a lot of motivation from now seeing how many Bitcoin companies use this plugin to streamline their monthly payouts and save time.

- Evangelizing: I won’t just promote stuff I develop - with PayJoin/CoinJoin videos I have promoted great work others did; work that now can be critical when centralized coordinators are shutting down.
- Supporting Creators: Those who cover efforts and create content around what FOSS contributors develop will always have my support. That’s what my trip to @BitcoinFilmFest with @webworthy was all about.

- Nostr: Any additional time I have will be devoted to Nostr until #Nostriga. I've invested considerable time in the past year and a half helping organize events around the protocol I see as the one that will bring freedom of communication to masses. I hope you've enjoyed them.

So, if you ever see me, Uncle, doing something and wonder what is behind it - see this post.
Number go up, but also number of Bitcoiners go up. That’s what it’s all about for me.
And any help and support you send to ensure we succeed in this mission will be appreciated.

agreed, creating tutorial videos here will be a big deal... expecting after Bitcoin Asia Hong Kong we'll have tutorial on conference setups, and that's where they can charge for the service of doing this.
keep fighting the good fight, and keep in mind we can always open up pizza store
