I’m leaving for a while. Trekking in the Himalaya. Climbing to higher than I’ve ever been. I wouldn’t normally post about travel, but I don’t want you to wonder where I went. This trip has been a long time in the making. It relates to my past, my father, my spiritual path. When I publish something about the experience, I hope you’ll read it. That might take a while though. Anyway, I’ll be back in November with some big news to share. Until then, be well.

I have now visited The Philippines and playa San Felipe. Just need to check off Philadelphia, and I will have completed my named-based pilgrimages.

GM. Looking forward to the weekend ahead.

GM Tell me what book you are reading. I will zap from 0-100 depending how much I like it. #bookstr #books

GM. Every week, I see half a dozen new apps and services in Bitcoin. Everyone is shipping. That is cool, but it seems that no one is remembering to pilot the ships, patch the leaks, or ensure there are any passengers on board. For me, this is becoming a major issue. No marketing, no adoption. Do you see it as a problem? What can we do to fix this? #asknostr #builders #vibecoding

A Bitcoin media company with plenty of sponsorship (prices in the image) is advertising a role for 'guest writer'. What you get: 0 money + a byline. What they get: daily monetizable content. Writers - if you are reading this, don't work for 'exposure'. Just write your own shit. I should add that the job is for formulaic news reporting (price moves / market sentiment etc). Not even creative freedom where you can show off your skills. Disgrace.

Perfect job checklist: * Creativity is valued * Clear performance goals * We make freedom go up * Microsoft Teams is BANNED * Part of a (nice) human team * WFH with occasional offsites * Long-term project (3-years+) * No one 'just runs it through' AI * Get fired if you use the word 'stakeholder' That's it. Not too many demands. Still, in 2026, that makes me pretty much unemployable. Maybe it's why I've been my own boss for nearly 10 years. (I've only applied to 2 jobs in the last decade). I love the variety and freedom of writing for different clients. It means I can say 'no' (e.g. because they forced me to write 'stakeholder'). I'm not looking for the perfect job. Just thought it would be interesting to share. If you are a freelancer, drop your perfect job checklist below. What would it take for you to accept a job? #asknostr

After almost 10 years as a freelance educator, editor, and writer, I am pretty much unemployable. My moral compass stops me from hitting 'apply' to any fiat jobs. I wouldn't be able to avoid calling 'bullshit' 20 times a day. In that time, I have applied for exactly 2 jobs in Bitcoin. I love the variety of working with different clients - freedom tech apps, books about Nostr, consultants, mining companies, and more. Still, I'm feeling the call for a long-term build. I'd love to join a freedom-tech or bitcoin project that aligns with my unshakeable moral compass. Just 'clocking in' every day to work with a stable team on reaching 10-year goals would be cool. This could be in marketing, community building, content, biz dev, strategy. I'm not really sure. I don't really believe in 9-5 Bitcoin jobs, and I'm not asking for one. Just wanted to share that I'm open to chat about long-horizon missions, not projects looking to stay alive until next month. Need a Jack of all trades and a master of writing for your startup? Maybe I'm your guy. #startup #entrepreneur #builders

After 1 month of using GrapheneOS I can honestly say my screentime has reduced because now I hate using my phone.

I'm against Big Bitcoin and Small Bitcoin. I ONLY support Medium Bitcoin.

GM I recently used Amber to sign in to Primal and Yakihonne (new phone). I was following 700 accounts but that just got nuked down to 10. Any idea why? #asknostr

GM. DIY time today. Can you guess what I'm going to build here?

I'm happy about chat control in a way. We have a clear enemy, a timeline, a clear objective, a reason to build, and a need to spread freedom tech NOW. Fuck the panopticon. Use @White Noise.

In the gym, I always do three sets of seven reps. That way, I do 21 of every exercise. Anyone else do this, or am I so far down the rabbit hole, I've developed BTC-OCD?

Still recovering from having to attend my building management meeting last night. Supposed to be a 30-minute meeting to approve simple maintenance budget via a vote. It was 30 minutes of waiting 45 minutes of 12 people all speaking at once (MAX VOLUME) with no one in charge. 15 minutes of looking at the numbers. All could be done remotely, but Canarians suddenly turn into career politicians when allocating their 10 euro per month fees (we literally pay 10 euro per month). Oh, and this takes place in a sweaty corridor with no seating and hellish acoustics. Absolute nightmare to attend. 0/10 would not recommend.

My privacy upgrades since 2022: Password manager VPN running Self custody Lightning Running a node Switching to Proton Suite Navigating with Open Street Map Nostr remote signer Switched to @GrapheneOS @Signal and @White Noise installed DuckDuckGo search I still have a ways to go until I'm deGoogled. I still use a Chromebook and G-Suite for work. What should I address next? #asknostr
