IIn Belgium, there's actually a group hijacking the name "bitcoin maxis" to shill fake coins, pre-mined tokens and leverage schemes and the likes. These people even have the audacity to organize a "bitcoin café" ... If only there was someone ... calling them out. 😉

When I show a bitcoin project to people in fiatworld, I always replace the word bitcoin with *censored* . So they look at the concept itself, not the "coin stuff". After I reveal the real purpose (some guessed it) then I get usually a big drop in enthusiasm, as they're so sick of anything to do with "cryptocurrencies". The real poison is the constant barrage of non-bitcoin projects. Be it s-coins, scams and the like. People are so tired of it, they don't even see the core of an issue or solved problem anymore. that's: opportunity

In 2015 I wrote a whitepaper for a bitcoin only idea. Now, in 2025, thanks to AI advancements, I can finally make it to work. First prototype is working, and I'm so happy. 10 f'ing years I walked around with this idea, and now I can build it, and make it work, knowing that the concept works in real life. Thank you Elon

I'm currently building something if a small ecosystem of tools for Bitcoin. Priorities shifting here, zs a result of many things that happened last couple of weeks. In any case, constantly building or delivering PoW for bitcoin. Also building a members section on the homepage so people who appreciate(d) the work can get extras.

Something a lot of programmers and product-managers forget : many "normie" people click away when a Github-like page appears. No one knows where to download, or what to download from it. If you redirect your "download here" link to a github page (or the likes) you'll lose close to all non-tech users.

This "self-serving failure" will now not release the tools I've created for the community in my spare time. And I'll go take a long walk, instead of recording another interview. If I'm called self-serving, then I might as well live up to it.

Someone at a conference last year asked me out of the blue "what do you sell?". And I looked at him and said "Nothing" Then then conversation never recovered. I saw that person back later that year, and he was rolling a joint on the floor. Some anekdotes in the bitcoin space are telling. 😉

Most personalities these days...

Why Value4Value in bitcoin is a scam

V4V: A tale of two sided bad feelings

Choose life

Ask no money in exchange to inform ppl about Bitcoin : 'you must be shady' 'you're so 'covert'. (True story btw) Ask donations: 'I'm too cheap to pay, you still seem shady' Ask ridiculous amount of money for 'consults' and 'invest' in the most blatant scams: 'Oh please, scam me some more, cool dude, and meet my family and take me out to dinner, I'll dress up real nicely'

How can they miss you, if you don't go away.

This bull market is the most single -sided one ever. It's a few top dogs, no retail, no industry, just a few in the know ppl and their zhitcoin cronies and influencers.

So far, not a single reaction to this blogpost. Strange

Here is the geyser fund for the new BIP39tool set I'm making. Anyone who want to support such an easy to use tool? I've prepared some prototype for a (much better) version 2.
