Hi, everyone. I’m bummed to report that this account has been compromised. I’ve started a new personal account at the following npub: npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet You can also search for me at frank@primal.net. You’ll see that my Primal Legend status has been transferred to that new account. I’d greatly appreciate if you could share this post to help my followers find me. I’d also like to give a major, major shout out to @The Daniel 🖖 and @miljan who’ve been helping me out tremendously in the wake of the account being compromised. They’re both absolute legends. To help show that the new account is real, you’ll see that they’ve both already followed me over there. Thank you and onward 🫡

Just saw Project Hail Mary. Quite a film.

Working in the #Bitcoin and #freedomtech space can be mentally and emotionally challenging, especially if you're an open-source developer. (Plus, most of us in this space, developers and otherwise, have at least a little touch of insanity, which doesn't necessarily make anything easier.) As a former Core contributor, @amiti is acutely aware of that. And so she created @waye as a means to provide psychosocial support to open-source devs around the world. Her goal with Waye isn't just to help devs stick around, but to help them thrive in doing the work that they do. I sat down with Amiti to get into the details of why she pivoted to coaching devs, to get some tips on how to overcome our limiting default modes, and to discuss how reframing can help us to play bigger. As someone who's very much into psychology and who was formerly studying to be a clinical social worker, I very much enjoyed this conversation. I hope you do, too!

Excited to share that I've joined the team at @Fedi as Content Producer and Strategist! I'll be working with the team to help document and share the stories of the communities and freedom tech pioneers with whom Fedi works. Let's goooooo ⚡️⚡️⚡️

We’ve barely scratched the surface when it comes to the amount of talent that Bitcoin and freedom tech will unlock around the globe.

Bitcoin miners can play a major role in revitalizing Venezuela's 🇻🇪 power grid ⚡️⚡️⚡️ Their doing so would help provide sustainable electricity to Venezuelans across the country as well as stimulate Venezuela's economy. I sat down with Alessandro Cecere ( @npub18p26...mf64 ) to discuss this plus: ⚡️ The massive opportunity to mine bitcoin with flared gas in Venezuela ⚡️ How most Venezuelans feel about Maduro's capture ⚡️ Venezuela's financial situation and what it will take to get it back on track A not to be missed episode for Bitcoin mining enthusiasts and/or those in favor of a renewed Venezuela…

If you're looking for how Bitcoin is being used to create impactful, real-world change, look no further than the story of @Afribit Kibera. I sat down with the project's co-founder, Ronnie Mdawida, to discuss how Bitcoin has become a tool of empowerment for the residents of Kibera, Africa's largest informal settlement. In the interview, Ronnie details Afribit's approach to education around Bitcoin and digital literacy, the importance of community support as people adopt Bitcoin, and why the story of Afribit is bigger than simply one of banking the unbanked with Bitcoin — it's a story of human triumph. Having seen the impact Ronnie and his team have had firsthand, it brings me great pleasure to share this episode with you all. 🧡
