Nothing stops this train!
Jeff Booth said the more attention and energy you give to the Bitcoin world instead of to the Fiat world the more it grows.
So I started:
1. Thinking more in Bitcoin than in US dollars.
2. Learning more about Nostr and Python
3. Publishing my weekly shows of Island Wealth on zap stream.
4. Learning to program in Pear runtime, the peer to peer decentralized stack.
It is frightning to leave Linkedin and Youtube and Facebook for good.
But I know that Nostr and Keet are my people.
So I will stay here and publish here although I have not a lot of followers.
I will celebrate my first 100 followers!!
I’m starting all over on Nostr. But I know this is the right move.

You see how easy it is to use AI?
In just 1 hour from idea to presence on social media.
Only through the power of AI.
Let me show you my process I did today.
1. One hour ago I thought about an idea: create a character with a drawing app and convert it to a real image. A story to tell.
2. I opened an AI app on my mobile and sketch an image of a woman and told AI to create a woman and then a man!
3. I posted the images on Linkedin, Facebook and Nostr and Instagram.
4. I wrote a text here on Linkedin, added icons to make it nicer.
5. I opened Instagram and scrolled through my images but saw you could add music.
6. Here came the idea to turn these images into a shot video.
7. I opened my phone pressed record and went to Instagram and scrolled through my images while the music was on.
8. I opened an editing software on my mobile and edited the movie.
9. And here you have it: within one hour the movie.
But it doesn’t end here:
I can automate this whole orocess through Python Automation and Create a Digital Asset with AI.
This Digital Assset is a program that recreate these 9 steps with every IDEA I have.
So I can only think of something, draw it and you get the video.
You see how AI makes your work more productive and more efficient?
Thst is why in the next 2 weeks I will be giving an exclusive bootcamp workshop online on how you too can do this.
You can let me know you are interested in Python Automation and AI by joining my VIP Lounge…here.

Bitcoin building
275892x275892x275892
A cube of 21.000.000 units.
In space.
Instantly able to transfer
Unstoppable
Living in space
And in your head.
8 billion people looking to own a piece.
900 trillion USD global capital asking to own a piece of this building.
It lives in no nation.
No government can claim it.
Blocks are being build every 10 minutes. 24 hours a day a block every 10 minutes.
Every 2 weeks the rules to find a block changes slightly and the players searching for a block have to adapt.
Every 4 years half of the blocks per 10 minutes can be created.
Max amount of units 21 million
It is not a house of cards.
It is solid written in code.
If you want to play with the code and understand how this building of scarcity is being built contact me or ask me below.

Reading The Big Print
In 2008 there was a bailout and the people paid for it.
They say hete that the ATMs would nit work and we would be living in caves.
Now in 2025, if there is a collapse of the financial system, do you think we could survive with Bitcoin, and lightning?
Could we just buy our groceries, pay our energy and gas bills and live on Bitcoin?
I’m asking this because there is still a huge debt of the USA. We have ultra leverage!
The USA has 9.2 trillion of debt due in 2025 and a 36 trillion debt.
So what do you think?

40 BTC out of 21 Million: the Python Nostr developper
I have been working on this idea on living 40 years on 1 BTC per year. And how it facilitates your perspective as an (online) business owner.
Now imagine you are a Python data scientist. You know jupyter notebooks. You know python programming and you know Nostr. Just basic Nostr.
How can you add at least 8 BTC per year of value to the Bitcoin Nostr Community? To know more about the 40 BTC target, read my other posts.
What would the Nostr BTC community need? From a Python Data Scientist?
Data!! Yep. Obviously.
What data would they love to see? And how would they want to see it?
Let me share some views as a Nostr publisher. As somebody who goes live on zap streamon a weekly basis and someone who uses Nostr.
I would want a dashboard.
With:
- number of users
- number of posts
- number of zaps
- number of people who zapped
- number of posts in a timeline (per year, month, week, day)
- a ranking of the top “nostr influencers”
And I would want the data in a spreadsheet, json file and csv
I would want that dashboard to refresh every 15 min. Or maybe every minute.
Why?
Because then I would be able to analyze the trends.
Creating a graph in time (from time series data) is the first thing I do when analyzing a new system.
So to analyze the “beast” called Nostr, I need data about nostr.
Then if possible I would want to see the topics people talk about.
What are the hashtags about? Who is talking about what? What is right now or today the most talked about topic?
For instance: across the whole Nostr ecosystem: are people talking about #USA, #TRUMP, #Recession, ##Tariffs, #Caribbean?
Who is planning a vacation about the #Caribbean right now?
I want to see also who has the most amout of #followers and who is most engaged?
Open source
It needs to be a system that is open source and that is not dependent of me. It needs to be a system people can build upon.
So probably it needs to be a Python library.
Yes: imagine a Python library that you could simply install with pip install python-nostr-dashboard and voila, you get all these nice things I mentioned above.
That would be magic!
People could use it.
And it would be worth more than 8 BTC.
Why? Because it would generate nore than 8 BTC in value.
8 BTC paid by 200 people. Say 4.000.000 SATS per person.
Even if it only cost 2 BTC to create it it would be valuable. Because once it was created there would be no cost involved.
I have to study this more.
Let me know what else this dashboard would need to show.

40 BTC out of 21 million: the decentralized app developer
In some posts I have been talking about this concept of 40 BTC out of 21 million.
Imagine you are a decentralized app developer. Say a Python Nostr Data scientist or a keet.io Pear runtime developer.
You goal is 40 BTC in value in 5 years. So 2 BTC each quarter.
If you have 50 clients you need to deliver a peer to peer Nostr or Keet.io app at a value of 0.04 BTC per client.
4.000.000 SATS.
What decentralized app could you create that impacts the live of a person so much that they happily hand you over 4.000.000 SATS because you delivered so much value to them that their lives have changed positively?
You probably solved a problem like:
- made their lives more secure
- protected their families
- helped them save time, the only true scarce thing they have
- gave them more time
- improved their health
- improved their love lives
Yes probably it is one of these problems you helped them solve.
If you have anything you value more that 4.000.000 SATS let me know.
Now I know a group of people that are building this keet.io app.
And it runs on pear runtime, an open source software stack.
It is not competing with nostr. It is just another peer to peer technology.
I know this because I have created all the apps they show on their websites and did all the tutorials.
If you want me to discuss this more and you want to know more let me know.

40 BTC in 5 years
In Sales
Can that be done?
How would you do that?
There is something magical when you start thinking in BTC.
When you forget about all other units of measures of value.
In another post I discussed about how to live on 40 BTC for the rest of your life.
As a business owner when you use BTC as your unit of measure you see more clearly.
Thinking in BTC means linking your time and your life to 21 million.
It means that your contribution to the world will be at least 40 out of 21 million.
If 21 million is the number of the total value in the world and you need 40 out of 21 million to live then you need to give at least 40 out of all the value in the world.
Your contribution. 40 out of 21 million. That is your stake.
As you need to give equal or at least equal value for a transaction to occur, your business goal is then to deliver at least 40 BTC of value to the world.
It sounds doable!
It is not dependent on inflation.
It cannot be dilluted.
It is “just” 40 out of 21 million.
I will be exploring this concept here on nostr and sharing my thoughts with you.

How to get out of the rat race
Imagine you live for another 40 years. And imagine your cost of living is 1 BTC per year.
You then need to spend 40 BTC the rest of your life.
So you need to deliver value at 50 BTC to the world.
Now imagine you want to work 20% of the time. Say 1 day a week.
You will work 8 years out of those 40 years you have to live.
Imagine you want to get out of the matrix called your job, your business in the next 5 years.
Now you need to get 8 BTC per year during the next 5 years.
That is 2 BTC per quarter.
If you have 50 clients per quarter that is 0.04 BTC per client.
Or 4000.000 SATS.
That is it.
Given some assumptions on:
1) how much time you have and
2) how much BTC you need to live on and
3) how much time you want to spend working and if you have a business
4) how much clients you have
You have simplified your life.
You made it a game you can win.
Get 50 clients each quarter and deliver value to them for at least 0.04 BTC or 4.000.000 SATS.

The Dystopian European Central Bank Digital Currency
In Europe they are thinking about a cbdc. By october 2025 the European Central bank wants it implemented.
A central bank digital currency:
I can program python.
I can program AI.
Let me tell you: you can program money!!!
The currency in your pocket, the Euro’s you can program them.
Imagine this:
Money.destroy(yourname)
When you give money a method called destroy, if it is programmable, it will destroy itself!
When you put yourname in that as a parameter, your money will destroy itself!
I have thaught people during a 6 weeks Python Island Wealth Management Course: Creating Digital Assets with AI how to program. In the last part of that program we create classes. Like Dog(), Animal() and Money(). These classes can do things!!
So I know what I’m talking about. Trust me on this.
By the way if you want to be invited as soon as that program is open again, let me know below. Or in my dm.
Money.decrease(yourname, 1000)
Imagine I, the European central bank, can pass that command to my centralized ledger.
That means that your wallet will be decreasing by 1000 Euros. Instantly. Because your money, no MY money, is programmable.
What about Money.decline(yourname, [steak, gas, airline])?
Now I have a way to pass my agenda in Europe. If you want to buy steak, gas, arline ticket, MY money will decline.
This is a central bank, digital currency.
Lets go a little bit further: Money.report(yourname, startdate, enddate).
Now I got a report. About ALL your transactions from start to end date.
You think that’s crazy? You think I can’t do that?
Enter AI
I will pass these queries above to my AI agents and ask them to run these reports constantly. First run the reports with all those transactions and next analyze what you are doing.
Grab your social media profiles and create a picture of you. And if you do certain thinks I don’t like, just execute the money.destroy() or the money. decrease() or money.decline() commands!
Bitcoin showed us that money is just a ledger. Ethereum showed us that money is programmable.
And the one who controls the ledger controls the money.
Not your keys not your money.

Yesterday I built a data science project about the BRICS.
After showing data about the BRICS laat week for 4 episodes - still one to go - I extended by data science framework with Indonesia, the latest member of the BRICS.
If you don’t know it the BRICS are the countries surrounding China, an economic and trade and potentially social and cultural alliance.
They are Brasil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Ethiopia, United Arab Emirates, Iran and now Indonesia.
You see, from the initial 5 countries, they are already 10 countries now.
There are even more countries partnering with China in the so called Belt and Road Initiative. China is investing heavily in other countries.
But going back to my data science initiative. As a global macro economist, investor, trainer, coach and Bitcoiner, I need to keep investing in my knowledge.
I’m studying the largest economy of the world USA. I’m preparing to create my macro economic investment snd simulation model of USA.
And I’m comparing the BRICS extended (including Indonesia), with the USA and Europe and G7.
The G7 are the traditional developped economies around the USA.
What I managed to do yesterday in my data science franework is this:
Send in just the code of an indicator, and all the country codes of the BRICS nations, and get back a table with all the data!
Remember I already can send in a code for an indicator and receive back a graph? I have been doing that and showing that in past episodes of my Island Wealth channel. Check that out.
Getting back a table on the fly is awesome.
I could now send in population as the indicator and the BRICS as region and get back population of all the BRICS.
Do the same with G7 countries and compare that with the total BRICS population.
I could do that same with the Gross Domestic Product. This is the indicator showing the size of the economy.
So with this new version of my data science framework I can compare big regions with each other.
What is the total debt of the G7 compared with the BRICS?
We could analyze the following inficators:
- population
- labour force
- unemployment
- fiat currency (Money supply)
- gross domestic product
- exports
- imports (eg for Trump’s tariff wars)
- foreign direct investments
Any other indicator available.
Next I could also create a region called Smalll Island Developping States and the Caribbean, and show data for the whole region.
Why do I do this?
Because I want to discuss trends, economic data that affect your wealth!
If the BRICS are becomming more important you need to trade with them, offer your services, invest in their stocks, receive Bitcoin and SATS from them, hire their employees, set up businesses in the BRICS.
Because there the economic power is going. There is the growth. They are producing more of the world’s stuff.
They are becomming the center while the G7 are becomming the periphery.
Let me know your thoughts. And let me know what indicators you want me to analyze and why.
