When bitcoin over bitchat? @calle @jack (in an easy way not sending txs via text) Is it on the roadmap? View quoted note →

# In Or Out of CRYPTO > Bitcoin is a R.I.P.C.O.R.D. It is Revolutionary, Immutable, Public, Collaborative, Open, Resistant to censorship, Decentralized. - Andreas M. Antonopoulos. In the face of Meme-coins like Trumpcoin, Doge or controlled blockchains like Ripple, Solana or Cardano I add: > C.R.Y.P.T.O. is Controlled, Rug-pullable, Yield-obsessed, Pump-and-Dump, Token-printing, Obsolete, Censorable. - Anita Within many definitions Bitcoin classifies as a cryptocurrency too. Bitcoin invented the whole field of cryptographic money, but thousands of Altcoins that spread over the years do not adhere to the same strict principles of neutrality and decentralization. They are neither revolutionary inventions nor permissionless, neutral or uncensorable. Their existence has been controlled from the very beginning. Pre-mining offered advantages for an exclusive round of investors, foundations and founders influence the discourse around technical development and consensus. They are neither the new or better Bitcoin, they are a rip-off made to enrich a few akin to a scam. Not all Altcoins are scams, it's truly hard to differentiate, you'd need to study each and every one of them - an impossible task. To opt-out you choose Bitcoin, to stay in the system you gamble with Altcoins. #Daily #Bitcoin

# Daily on Nostr It's early January 2026 and this is my experiment. I will publish one note per day. On #nostr first. Nostr stands for "Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays". It's a new and open protocol, imagine a new life form of the Internet. It lives on decentralized servers (called relays) that anyone can run without permission. It's censorship resistant, no one can keep you from expressing your opinion or change or delete what you wrote. You can use any app and switch in between apps, as all content belongs to you, and unlike X, Facebook or YouTube you don't lose your content when you switch. You can decide what you want to see in your feed, there is no algorithm (yet) and if it were, you can just switch to another app. You don't have to upload your ID, no one can block or freeze your account as there are no accounts on Nostr. Ownership of your data is secured by crypto-graphical keys (long strings of random letters and numbers that are mathematically impossible to guess). Does this sound familiar? These are Bitcoin's foundations. Nostr is for content, what Bitcoin is for value. Bitcoin doesn't need Nostr and Nostr doesn't need Bitcoin, but they work brilliantly together. You can send "zaps" (bitcoin micropayments) directly to content creators in seconds. Bitcoin and Nostr are the Swiss Army knife of financial expression and free speech. Tools that give agency back to people. Tools that enable the civil society to uphold their important function of being a check on power. That's why I am going all in on Nostr and publish my daily posts on Nostr first. PS: As it's already Jan 4 the experiment has failed before it even started. I missed day 1 and 2, here is my post from Jan 3: View quoted note → Nonetheless - the best day to start with anything that gives you practice and agency is today. #daily

On Jan 3, 2009 the Bitcoin network went online with the first public block being mined. Today on Jan 3, 2026 the USA under President Trump went to war against Venezuela to "run the country" and "make it great again". Just ten days before the USA bombarded parts of Nigeria to take out ISIS militants and protect Christians. Coincidentally both countries are rich in oil and natural resources. Trump also said: “American dominance in the western hemisphere will never be questioned again.” It's the usual interventionism that they sell us as "in the name of peace - to install democracy" when in reality it's an imperialistic power grab financed with your tax money, in your name. This is possible with state money. Non-state money like bitcoin in self-custody gives agency back to the people. Bitcoin is an exit strategy, and this is what it was made for - money that can't be taken away from us to finance their wars. #daily

Happy birthday, Bitcoin! Opt-out of war with self-custodied bitcoin. I am grateful for the ultimate „fuck your war“ - you can’t use my money for your imperialistic power plays - tool.

My first long form article via @YakiHonne 💪 2026 will be Nostr first! Will include it with other Freedom Tech tools into our programs in Southern Africa. View quoted note →

Writing a review of our @npub1fqqt...qzch in 2025. It’s tedious work, but helps me to reflect on the many things that we made happen this year. Next step: getting the review ready as my first long form post on Nostr.
