Empires fall because they forget God, lose their virtue by putting man and ego first, blurring the line between good and evil.

Among all the #Bitcoin books I’ve read, this one stands out as the most captivating. It distills the core concepts of Bitcoin into such clear, straightforward language that even the most skeptical normie can grasp its essence.
It makes an excellent introductory guide, explaining the nature of money and why scarcity, whether of time, resources, or Bitcoin itself, creates true value.


#Bitcoin is money; use it accordingly.

Money Only!

Following the post of @franzap, I’ve been working (in my free time) on a UX proposal for @Start9 — because sovereign tech deserves to be beautiful and simple.
Here’s a quick 3-screen redesign preview.
Why redesign Start9?
The tech is world-class: Bitcoin node, Nostr relay, self-hosted apps… all in one box.
But the current UI? Built for devs.
Goal: Let your mom run a server in <15 min.
No CLI. No confusion. Just sovereignty.
⚡️Screen 1: Marketplace
• Featured carousel with real apps (Mempool, Bitcoin Knots, Nostr RS)
• Search + filters (Bitcoin / Social / Lightning)
• “Apps We Love” → social proof
• One-click install previews
Normies don’t read docs. They swipe.
⚡️Screen 2: Home
• Big, bold app icons (like iOS)
• Live widgets: Bitcoin price, sync %, server health
• Quick actions: “Open in Browser”, “Monitor”, “Support”
• Empty slots = “Add new service”
Familiar = fast adoption.
⚡️Screen 3: Health & Alerts (proactive, not reactive)
• “No Connection” → clear explanation + fix button
• Disk, CPU, Temp in plain language
• All systems green? Celebrate it.
Errors should teach, not scare.
This is just a proposal.
@Start9 — happy to share Figma files, user flows, or iterate together.
Let’s make personal servers as easy as a smart TV.

Design is important. Design is necessary for mass adoption. It is the final step.

That nihilist point of view about “voting doesn’t matter” is worthy of a pre-adolescent discovering Nietzsche.

If it’s not your server, it’s not your data.
Lol, it’s literally this.


Any coffee-mug bitcoin company out there ??
