JUSTICE. COMMERCE. FREEDOM. GM - @M A D E X

Finally I made the leap to be Nostr exclusive and it feels like a breath of fresh air. X stays up for announcements only. This is the right move. The community here is real, the conversations are better, and most importantly I own my identity and my data. No platform standing between me and the people I want to reach. Now back to building. #NostrOnly

10 years with Revolut. This is what I woke up to. No crime. No warning. Just a deadline to get my own money out. Bitcoin can't freeze your funds or interrogate you about your own money. They can shut down your account. But they can't shut down the Bitcoin network. 🟠

Opting out of the System has never been easier. The tools to build your own freedomtech tools and contribute to others has never been simpler. The time to take action and unchain yourself is now, don't live to regret missing out on the OptOut opportunity. Increrdibly inspiring read from the incredible @Max 👌 What a time to be alive!

One year since launching Become Unruggable, it now has a proper home:

Become Unruggable · Bitcoin Self-Custody, Privacy & Sovereignty

Private 1-on-1 guidance in self-custody, online privacy and sovereign living. You always hold your own keys. I never ask for a seed phrase.

What started as a single 4-session program has evolved into three tailored tiers: Base, Fortress, and Legacy. Helping people transition into true self-custody, upgrading their setups, running their own nodes, eliminating counterparty risk, gives me a priceless sense of purpose. There's nothing I'd rather dedicate my life to than guiding individuals from around the world toward real sovereignty over their Bitcoin. If you're walking this path or considering it, feel free to check it out. It would be a pleasure to help guide you toward becoming truly unruggable. Open to thoughts, questions and feedback.

GM! 🌅 There is something extremely satisfying about crafting your own morning coffee. From grinding your favourite coffee beans, to getting the perfect espresso shot and topping to it off with a bit of milk froth, to produce that sweep Flat White. 👌 Its another beautiful day to be alive. Go out and seize the day friends, as you never know what tomorrow holds. #coffewchain

Switched to using @Kagi as my default search engine on desktop and mobile. And i absoluteley love it, and the assistant feature is fantatsic. You get access to so many LLMs in a private manner, and for a fraction of the cost compared to subscribing to any single one of them. Big thanks to @Seth For Privacy and @QnA for covering Kagi in depth on Freedom Tech Friday show. If you never heard of Kagi give it a listen and try it for yourself, i am sure you will not regret it.

Hey everyone!! After a long one month vacation with family, it's been some time since I shared some personal updates here and spent more time on Nostr, ow how i missed it. Firstly during long summer vacation I had time to reflect and decide on how I want to proceed on my sovereign journey. Having a discussion with myself what it my priority that I want to achieve, whats important to me, and not looking and getting influenced by what others are doing. And as a result I have decided to pivot my Your Bitcoin Story podcast (after more then 2 years of continuous releases, and 140+ episodes recorded) from doing guest episodes, to recording solo episodes focused primarily on self-custody and other area's of Bitcoin and freedom tech which I am passionate about. As there is an ever expanding number of Bitcoin podcasts, hosting the same big names over and over again, I decided it's time to do my own thing, and focus on sharing high signal content and help people unplug from the system, instead of just entertaining them with guest stories and philosophy. The second big change that happened to me recentley, is that I have officially joined the all star team at @BULL BITCOIN which I am tremendously proud. After having an absolute blast with @npub1t289...nkzs, @M A D E X, Science, Gege, Theo and Pablo in Prague during @BTC Prague, it was only a matter of time until the perfect moment came together for me to join the most based company in the Bitcoin space. My primary focus at Bull Bitcoin will be creating insightful self-custody content, focused on the newly launched BULL wallet, from written guides, short format video tutorials and much more. I am very grateful to have joined the Bull Bitcoin team and excited for this new chapter. All in all, life is beautiful, I am full of optimism of what we are building together. One for all and all for one. ✊ We are on the path to winning, but we need to stay the course, not get distracted by all the noise on X and mainstream media; this team vs that team. We Bitcoiners are on the same team, and we should not be influenced by external forces who wish to divide and concur us, like this forces used to do in the old world. In this new parallel system we are all building and contributing to, we create our rules and if we don't like them or agree, anyone is free to pursue their own path. There has never been a greater time in human history to become a sovereign individual and live life on your own terms. So let stop virtual arguments / fights and carry on building the FreedomTech we want to see for us and our future generations to live in abundant and peace. Thank you, Satoshi. The show goes on!

GM 🌞 Morning jiu jitsu training done, now it's time to go make an iced flat white and get ready for today's podcast recording with @Juraj🏴💛🌘 Today is going to be another great day! 🤙🏼

"Dollar inflation is global taxation." @MartyBent's TFTC episode with Balaji Srinivasan hits hard. Highly recommend giving it a listen;

GM #Nostr Having my 6AM oatmeal with blueberry, banana and cinnamon, and off I got the mats for a morning jiu-jitsu session. Personally there is no better way to start the morning. Wishing you all a great start to the day, go out and smash today! 🤙🏼⚡

Iqam considering getting aLinux laptop. Seems like System 76 Lemur Pro is the top choice, but since I would need to get it delivered to Europe, the shipping costs, VAT and customs fees would be substantial. So an alternative option I am looking at is Tudexo InfinityBook Pro, which would come out significantly lower. Any opinions which is the better choice to go for?

GM Today is going to be a great day! Enjoy your time with the family, as those are the most valuable times. 🙏🏼

What LLM are you using? Preferably something open source and which doesn't track and store your prompts. Looking to end my ChatGPT journey and go a more sovereign AI route, but can't seem to find a good replacement. #AskNostr

GM! It's another beautiful day, to be greatful to be alive, healthy and having a mission in life. So many new ideas and connections where born last week during BTC Prague, but now it's the best part. It's time to plan, coordinate and execute on those ideas. Exciting things lie ahead. Let's get to it.

The Bitcoin Marathon week is officially wrapped and wow… what a ride. From Dev/Hack Day to the 3-day main event at @BTC Prague 2025, and closing it off at BTCPay Day. I came in expecting something great, but what unfolded went far beyond. This week reminded me what it’s really about: connecting in person, strengthening the network, and building bonds that make everything else stronger. Spending time with Francis and the rest of @BullBitcoin team was a highlight. These are the moments that don’t show up on camera or on stage, but they’re the real substance of conferences like this. As @npub1exce...n72a said best: “We’re not bullish enough.” Not about price. About Freedom Tech. About the growing stack of open-source tools we now have at our fingertips to help people exit the fiat matrix and reclaim financial sovereignty. Like @Daniel Prince often reminds us: the real NGU that matters is new people joining the network. Huge thanks to the Cooks brothers Martin & @npub137x4...z69c for orchestrating yet another incredible edition of BTC Prague. Proud to have contributed, even in a small way. And props to the entire BTC Prague crew for pulling it off. On a personal note: I somehow managed to record 8 high-signal podcast episodes during the madness the special #BTCPrague2025 Edition of Your Bitcoin Story. You’ll soon hear from: - @Djuri (BTClock) - @Alekandar Svetski (The Bitcoin Bushido / Satlantis) - Paul Rosenberg (OG Cypherpunk from mid 90's) - `Roger H` (Would Mao Hold Bitcoin) - `miljan` (Primal) - `Samson Mow` (@`AQUA Wallet` / @npub1jan3...x52y) - @Avi Burra (PlebChain Radio) - @Max (this last one is… something else 👀) Big thanks to the @npub155m2...dcvg team for organizing an amazing BTCPay Day and congrats on the powerful new features announced. So glad I got to be part of it. And a special shoutout to @Juraj🏴💛🌘 and Lea for hosting the Cypherpunk Meetup, one of the best side events of the week. Real signal, real people, real values. That meetup embodied the ethos we’re all here to protect. Final reflection: The corporate suits have entered the chat. They’re pushing hard to box Bitcoin into a “store of value” narrative. But they weren’t the ones writing code in the '90s and ever since. They weren’t the ones building tools for privacy, censorship resistance, and peer-to-peer freedom. The cypherpunk spirit is alive and our numbers are growing. They lost the protocol war in 2017. They’ll lose the culture war too. “Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age. … We cannot expect governments, corporations, or other large, faceless organizations to grant us privacy out of their beneficence. It is to us, the cypherpunks, to write code and deploy systems that defend privacy.” — A Cypherpunk’s Manifesto, 1993 We keep building. We keep stacking. We stay free.
