Great list. The main thing I'd add that a lot of bitcoiners tend to miss, especially for those of us in the west with a more individualist spirit, is to build your tribe! Locally, regionally, and globally. Your trusted friends, and more specifically the ones that you would call your brothers, will be your most effective armor against the event. View quoted note →

Is it just me or does Kasurian Magazine just publish the same article over and over again? Like it's always about the same subject with the same conclusion but said in a slightly different way.

Ibn Khaldun in the 21st Century

On the political economy of knowledge, institutions, and civilisational power.

Born too late to fight during the golden era of Islamic conquests Born too early to fight behind Imam Mahdi Born in time to usher in an anti-Riba monetary consciousness and a new cyber Islamicate mythos

Another day, another Sami Hamdi video telling Muslims to write to their representatives. "The power of agency!!!!!"

This is a good example of the kind of Sufi romanticism that does not belong in Digital Hijra.

The Sufi Case for Environmentalism

What does Islamic philosophy have to say about the natural world?

If the critique of modernity boils down to plastics being too far removed from the natural world, then it stands to reason that the critique itself collapses the moment it touches the modern conditions (computer, phones, laptops, servers, petrochemical infrastructure, etc) under which it is being made. I invite the author and other Muslims of Sufi orientation to read our essay about Digital Hijra: View article → The problem with modern technology is not that it is synthetic or far removed from raw materials, it's that it is usually built inside systems of riba, surveillance, dependency, and enclosure. Digital Hijra is a call to rebuild technological life in a vicegerent way, on sovereignty, ownership, moral discipline, and accountable infrastructure. This is where Wahdat al-Wujud should lead us to as we navigate hypermodernity.

Designing bitcoin wallets in a progressive self custody way just makes intuitive sense. Love the coin control visualization too. Not only is it very normie friendly, but it incentivizes the normie to play around with bitcoin more. This is how you build View quoted note →

I can't contain my excitement for this. When I went to the first summit, I honestly had no idea what to expect, maybe there weren't going to be a lot of folks, maybe I'd get the feeling this was all stupid and we shouldn't even be going this far. But the summit blew me away. It was overwhelming and electric meeting so many based Muslims all at once, and it made me feel like I was part of something a lot more grand than I initially realized. Since the summit, I really haven't been the same. It lit a fire under my ass to finally get that damn book out. I still keep in contact with almost all of the folks I met, they're life long friends now. And I've been a lot more detached at my fiat job, and I've let go a lot of IRL stuff that was weighing me down. I've been reading a lot more books that aren't related to Bitcoin, weirdly enough. Even my prayers and duas have been a lot more intentional and intense since then... The summit genuinely reshaped my outlook. I can’t shake the feeling that what’s happening here is genuinely big, something historically, civilizationally, spiritually significant that could change the course and trajectory of the Muslim world. You really have to be here to understand it. I look forward to meeting all of you in a few weeks. View quoted note →

Getting to the point where it's harder to post to X compared to Nostr. Half the time it gives me a message saying that it's failed to send.... So annoying
