Messages like this make the fact that Maduro, Chavez’s successor, was brought down on the anniversary of the Bitcoin network going live hit even harder. Godspeed, Venezuela 🇻🇪, and may Bitcoin continue to play a role in helping Venezuelans reclaim their sovereignty.

“The future of money will determine the future.” An important post from Rep. Warren Davidson.

Hard money, soft heart. This is the way in 2026.

2025 was one of the most exciting and memorable years of my life. It was very cool to have met a number of you Nostriches in real life! Hope our paths cross more often in 2026. Happy New Year 🥂

Silver will one day be priced in bitcoin. That’s the main difference.

Merry Christmas!🎄

Watching City on Fire on Apple TV, and I’m into it. Read the book years ago and didn’t love it, but the on-screen adaptation is solid. The creators really brought storyline to life, and the portrayal of NYC’s music subculture in 2003, which I was deeply immersed in, is a bit overdone but still reminds me of a more exciting time in the city.

Next month, I’ll be sitting down with pro-Bitcoin New York attorney general candidate Khurram Dara for a fireside chat at @PUBKEY. Join us on Jan 22 as we discuss what needs to change for NY to become a more Bitcoin-friendly jurisdiction. RSVP link in replies.

Grateful to be staying buoyant within a fundamentally insolvent system with all of you.

The people in this space admire the wrong Mike.

What Bitcoin Is

And What It Should Never Be

I watched this video earlier this morning and broke down after reflecting on how the gentleman featured in it is using bitcoin to better his life. I’d imagine most of you here on Nostr will feel it just as deeply, so please give it a watch, a like, and maybe even a subscribe to help support the project ( @Bitcoin Kakuma ). Also, shout out to @Machankura 📞⚡ 8333.mobi for building the tech to help this man. You’re both legends, @kgothatso@8333.mobi and @Noelyne .

One of the things I love most about being in the Bitcoin space is how the diversity here is genuine, not manufactured. We’re just a group of people from around the world coming together to provide support to one another as we work to better our own lives and the lives of those around us via this technology and technologies like it (e.g., Nostr). It’s quite beautiful.

A moment of calm before we run it back for day two of Bitcoin MENA. We’re getting started at 9:00 AM GST. Be sure to tune in! ⚡️ (Link to livestream in comments.)
