THE BITCOIN PEASANT COAT OF ARMS
On Saturday, 1 November 2025, on Samhain, I created my identity on the Cyberspace, The Bitcoin Peasant. I published a long manifesto where I explained why I am here. I did it on #nostr, on the digital land of the free. My virtual identity should and will be immortal, like Bitcoin is. Satoshi valued time and I am not going to be different, let's honor Satoshi by honoring time. Immortality is a concept that few understood throughout history and this is why it is so valuable. An identity is represented by a name, but also by something deeper than that. And this is when symbology takes place. A human is identified by its past and also by its present values which finally determine its future.
When we think about immortality we envision the future and we must represent certain values which will transcend generations to come. Those generational values place their origin on the past. The world changes, but the values must be intact and this is why Heraldry is needed. I want my digital identity to be present for generations and centuries, while representing my origin and my values. Heraldry solves this and I decided to create my own Coat of Arms that will represent my identity on the Cyberspace. My digital identity will be immortal. I will also be able to use this Coat of Arms outside the Cyberspace, I can use it in the Physical World and I can use wherever and whenever I want to use it. My Coat of Arms is my property.
THE POWER OF HERALDRY
Heraldry is symbolic. It has its own rules, but still it is abstract. Symbolism is also loyal to some rules, but those are sometimes ambiguous and interpretative. Some symbols have dual meanings or even more. So heraldry is based on symbolic rules and because they are symbolic, they can be related to different meanings. Some signals or concepts are occult while others are repeated. Also some symbols represent different concepts at the same time. So everything is interpretative and this is the beauty of heraldry and symbolism in general. The truth is exposed but sometimes in an unclear way where we can abstract different interpretations which may be related each other. Because it is not an exact science, we won't never be able to receive the whole message or at least we won't understand it entirely. The message is send but we are not able to see it completely since we don't know the about the real meaning of every symbol which is visible. We don't know the real meaning behind a heraldic emblem and that leads to mystery…
This is the real beauty, mystery. Since mystery leads to anonymity, which is precisely one of the core values of my identity. Anonymity is privacy and privacy is property. I protect absolute property rights and I see them as sacred. Therefore I see Satoshi Nakamoto as an anonymous identity who created something which protects property rights and makes them immortal. Satoshi created something which is allodial virtual property itself, Bitcoin. Satoshi's existence is a mystery and therefore I embrace mystery as part of my identity. Every God's existence is a mystery. History itself is a mystery and that is why we don't have many answers about the real world. This is the exact reason why we cannot stop thinking and researching about the past. When mystery takes place, humans tend to start obsessed with the truth and that leads to research and therefore knowledge. Symbolism is used as a strategy to hide messages which at the same time are being delivered while offering mystery. This opens the door to human curiosity and enriches society over generations.
Heraldry is used to represent people but also to represent other collectives. In fact, a Coat of Arms can represent a person in a specific jurisdiction or place, while another Coat of Arms can represent the same person in another place. This is quite uncommon but it takes place. So Heraldry is local and universal at the same time. Heraldic Laws are different in every jurisdiction or Heraldic tradition but use to share some universal rules. Coats of Arms represent identities, sometimes tied to certain places. The Bitcoin Peasant Coat of Arms represents my identity inside a specific place, the Cyberspace. The Bitcoin Peasant Coat of Arms represents the identity of The Bitcoin Peasant, a digital character created on #nostr, on Samhain, with the publication of a manifesto.
A Coat of Arms is something very personal. It is something creative and therefore human. A symbol says more than a thousand words and this is why symbolism is so important, specially when we are building something which will transcend generations to come. Creativity is subjective and its symbolic value is infinite since we never know how deep are concepts represented. Heraldry is a kind of art and it is subjectivity makes it really interesting. Heraldry is intelligent art and one of the beauties of art is mystery itself...
FRIDAY, 12 OF DECEMBER, 2025
The Bitcoin Peasant Coat of Arms is a complex work which is finished and scanned on Friday, 12 December 2025. The date is not aleatory, but intentional. For different reasons. And I am referring again to mystery. The date is very symbolic. It is a historical day since 15 years ago, December 12 of 2010, Satoshi Nakamoto published his last message on The Bitcoin Talk Forum, mentioning some minor issues in the latest version of the software.
After that, he only kept in touch with a few members of the Bitcoin Core development team via email, and no longer made any public statements. Satoshi Nakamoto sent his last email to other developers on April 26, 2011, in which he wrote: "I’ve moved on to other things."
Since then, many bitcoiners view the 12 of December of 2010 as a sad day. The reason is because we don't know why Satoshi left being public on that specific date. We don't know if he left for a specific reason or if it was part of his plan to leave. In the case it was part of his plan, maybe he selected the date for a specific reason or maybe not. We don't know. The only thing we know for sure is that he left being public the 12 December 2010 and on my opinion this is sad.
But I like to look on the positive side of things. One of the core values of Bitcoin is its decentralization. The fact that the founder is anonymous, that he doesn't have any control on the network and that we don't know anything about him is the real proof this protocol is absolutely decentralized. Maybe Satoshi thought about the power of him being anonymous and decided to leave the community after his last technical message on the public forum. Satoshi was a genius and we won't never be able to understand his way of thinking and acting. Extremely intelligent people tend to think deeper and in a very different way than the rest. They tend to act in very specific ways to achieve their goals. So it is very hard to speculate on the reasons why Satoshi left.
That date represents a birthday, it was a sad day but as I said, let's be positive and let's honor him. Since 12 December 2010, Bitcoin's founder is not using his/her voice and therefore doesn't exercise an influence inside the community. We can say that every 12 of December we commemorate the birthday of Bitcoin's true decentralization and mystery. Satoshi gave us mystery by leaving and mystery is one of the core values of Satoshi's identity. For me Satoshi is a referent and I want to honor him. I am thankful for what he did for the word. I also embrace mystery as part of my personal identity on the cyberspace and as I said before, heraldry is about mystery. Therefore the best way to represent it is by making public my Coat of Arms that I personally designed on this specific day, last Friday, honoring Satoshi...
I finished drawing my Coat of arms and scanned it on Friday, 12 December 2025. But I timestamped it today, Monday, 15 December 2025. Since today I am also publishing this statement which includes a detailed explanation of the whole symbology of my Coat of Arms. On Friday it was fifteen years since Satoshi left the community. The number 15 is also very symbolic and it correlates with the sum of the numbers that make up the 15th anniversary of the date itself "12 December 2025" while it also correlates with today's date, which is also 15. Even if I publish this text today, I am doing so commemorating this sad 15th anniversary which gives us proof about the decentralization of Bitcoin. Let's analyze the numbers, since both dates are more symbolic than we might think:
- Historical Date:
12/12/2010 = 1+2/1+2/2+1 = 3/3/3 = 333, the Master Number
333 = 3+3+3 = 9 = 3²
- Commemoration Date, "honoring Satoshi":
12/12/2025 = 1+2/1+2/2+2+5 = 3/3/9 = 333², very similar to the Master Number, while including 3² that correlates to 333 as I just showed.
333² = 3+3+9 = 15
- Difference between historical and commemoration date:
12/12/2025 - 12/12/2010 = 15 years
- Timestamp & present statement's date
15/12/2025 = 1+5/1+2/2+2+5 = 6/3/9 = "two times three, three and three times three" = 633² --- day 15
633² = 6+3+9 = 18 (twice 3²)
- Other interesting correlations:
333 = 3+3+3 = 9 = 3²
15 = 1+5 = 6, which is twice three
18 = 1+8 = 9 = 3²
The correlation between these numbers and dates is amazing. They all relate to three which is the number of power. Mathematics are magic and Bitcoin is Math.
THE NUMBER 333: THE MASTER NUMBER
Satoshi's last message on the community marks a date which itself creates the master number, 333. The number 3 is very important in numerology for different reasons, bin fact it is the number which symbolizes power. And 333 is the master number "three times three". The angel numbers of 333, which equals 9, means that despite the struggles, we are on the correct life path and the right direction. Bitcoin was on the correct life path since it embraced full decentralization. The Master number symbolizes a completion heading towards a new rebirth inside. It is true, since that date, we experienced a rebirth, Bitcoin would never be the same.
It is a sacred number signifying union of mind, body, and soul, for the highest intention. The master number symbolizes divine alignment, love, career growth, and spiritual awakening. All these values are aligned to Bitcoin. Society is awakening thanks to Satoshi's White paper which changed the world. When the 333 angel number appears in the context of money, it serves as a reminder of the significance of financial stability. It makes sense since scarce money makes it valuable and gives financial stability. When it comes to financial matters, 333 can be seen as a call to align your financial goals with your spiritual values. And this is even more related to Bitcoin, since Bitcoin is not only about Sound Money, it is about trust, honesty and respecting property rights, which are real spiritual values. It looks like Satoshi left the community on a very symbolical date.
Let's talk about the number fifteen which as I showed before, has several correlations to today's date. There is a mystical significance of 15 as a symbol of divine guidance, enlightenment, and spiritual transformation. And it is true, since today we commemorate a very relevant birthday for the reasons I explained before. The angel number 15 is a highly spiritual number. It serves as a reminder that we have the wisdom and skills to embrace our life mission. I am an activist, I am here for the technology, I am here to defend property rights. One of my life missions is to defend property and make it immortal over generations to come. This is why I created a virtual identity, in order to support allodial and immortal property. But this is not an easy task, and wisdom is required as well as skills are needed. But with hard work everyone can acquire unbelievable skills. The Sky is the limit and in the case of decentralization, there is no limit, since it can be used all over the universe, not only the physical, but the digital one. Who knows if the sentient one in the future...
CONCLUSION
I enjoyed writing this text where I explain why I designed my Coat of Arms and why I decided to publish it on this specific date. My words are opinions, I am doing philosophy, I am just being creative. I just write what I think and what I know. I enjoy writing and researching. I love symbology, numerology, economics, philosophy, history and many other sciences and this is why I analyze everything from different perspectives. When I talk about Satoshi, Bitcoin or decentralization in general you should not take my words as information, only opinion, since my knowledge is limited. I am here to learn, to write and to enjoy.
I want to say thank you, Satoshi Nakamoto, for everything you did for our world. Thanks for what you did for the entire universe. One day humans, AIs and maybe other entities will colonize the space and they will still remember you. Bitcoin is allodial immortal property. Its success will depend on people's actions. It is up to the world on adopting this technology or not. But the technology Satoshi built is amazing, unique and I am sure Satoshi made history.
Thanks, Satoshi!
IN PROPERTY WE TRUST
DESCRIPTION OF THE BITCOIN PEASANT COAT OF ARMS
This Coat of Arms represents The Bitcoin Peasant, my digital identity. I am a property rights maximalist. Property should be allodial and Bitcoin is the only property that shares this unique characteristic, since allodial land titles have been abolished or diluted over time. Also I think no one can prevent someone to custody its bitcoin, since this technology doesn’t depend on how laws changes, its main law is its code. I believe property is sacred and should be hold in perpetuity. No one, no matter how powerful he/she/they are should decide about your property. No majorities should decide about what it belongs to you.
I believe in the social elevator where someone who has nothing can end owning a lot and transferring its assets to the next generations. The term peasant refers to someone who can accumulate assets over time, no matter if that person started with nothing. Everyone can achieve success and end being part of what some people call the “aristocracy”. I believe in hard work, honesty, discipline, responsibility and humbleness. I think Bitcoin will improve the world and everyone can participate in this historical change.
This is universal. I think bitcoiners will be observed as pioneers of a new world which can change humanity. I don’t know if I am right or wrong, but I think Bitcoin represents a set of values which I mentioned before and I want to be part of this universal change. This is why I decided to create a Coat of Arms which represents my ideology and my vision of the world. I designed my own Coat of Arms by hand and I expose the meaning of each part of my Coat of Arms with a good level of detail:
1. SHIELD DESIGN
The shield design is appropriate for a peasant who owns allodial property or a freeman. Since this kind of property implies a degree of sovereignty, independence from feudal control and a certain status. The shield of the present coat of arms was widely used in different parts of Central Europe, including different parts of France. Many peasants who owned allodial property or large pieces of land used this kind of shield for their arms.
Quartered arms reflect lineage, symbolism, ownership and stability. The peasant represented by this coat of arms owns bitcoin and he benefits from the stability that its property provides. The use of traditional charges is common even among modest arms, especially when symbolizing certain values. In this case the charges are the keys and the Bitcoin symbol.
This Coat of Arms represent a libertarian, someone who is honest and thinks that contributions to society shouldn’t be mandatory, but voluntary. I think that if someone wants to help society, that person should be able to do it, but without forcing other to do so. In fact one of the reasons I am on #nostr is to contribute to make a better world by embracing this universal and incredible technology, Bitcoin. So this Coat of Arms represents at a certain point someone who believes in a voluntaryism. Even if I don’t agree with all the positions of this ideology, I do share some values in common. This philosophy or ideology normally uses the black and yellow colors. Other libertarian movements which share other values with my thinking also use black and yellow colors on their flags or coats of arms.
Sable is the tincture equivalent of black, while Or is a tincture denoting the metal gold, conventionally represented by yellow. Heraldic rules are different in every historical region of the world but they share some common rules and the most important one is the Rule of Tincture which means that "metal should not be put on metal, nor color on color". This is why the quartered arms of the shield are a combination of metal and color, strictly following the universal Rule of Tincture.
1st and 4th Quarters “Top-left & Bottom-right Quarters”:
- Charge: An Or key on a Sable field (background)
- Symbolism: The Or “golden” key represents wealth custody, sovereignty, independence and responsibility. The Sable field symbolizes qualities such as constancy and prudence. Sable is considered a color in some European heraldic traditions, and contrasts with lighter metals like Gold.
- Interpretation: These symbolize the peasant’s ability to own and custody property. It represents that the peasant owns allodial property. It is a symbol of sovereignty and responsibility.
2nd & 3rd Quarters “Top-right & Bottom-left Quarters”:
- Charge: A sable Bitcoin Symbol on a golden field
- Symbolism: The Sable Bitcoin symbol represents sound money and real property. It represents the ability of accumulating property constantly while being prudent on its finances. It represents the responsibility of being prudent on preserving its property. The Or “Golden” field symbolizes wealth, strength, faith, and constancy.
- Interpretation: Suggests the property which the freeman owns, on a base made up of Gold, a symbol of wealth, power and loyalty. Since holding bitcoin makes the peasant a wealthy, powerful and independent person.
2. HELMET
A steel, closed helmet in profile or slight angle which is not crowned or barred, is standard for commoners or freemen. It represents a strong, modest and honorable character who does not necessarily holds a nobility title. Its modest decoration and lack of gilding keeps it appropriate for a freeman peasant. This helmet represents a peasant who owns allodial property. The steel does not constitute a crown, coronet, or open visor since there is no claim to nobility, but also it represents that the holder is not a serf, since it represents a person who is financially independent and who owns property in allodial status.
3. MANTLING
The Mantling “lambrequins” are decorative cloth flowing from the helmet. This mantling curls almost outward symmetrically from the helmet and it has depth and movement, but is not excessively flamboyant, which is appropriate for a free peasant. Mantling colors often echo or complement shield tinctures. In this Coat of Arms the mantling is depicted in red and gold “Gules and Or”. While bold, this can be symbolic of personal pride or local traditions. But at the same time it doesn’t represent nobility since it is not paired with a coronet. This is appropriate for a peasant who has a certain status and owns property. Mantling colors often echo or complement shield tinctures. Gules or red represents courage, warrior spirit, while gold represents wealth, generosity and honor. This mantling is ornamental and gives visual presence without implying nobility.
4. SUPPORTERS
They are not traditional for individual commoners in strict English heraldry. However, in Swiss, Dutch, Scandinavian and many other civic traditions, the presence of symbolic supporters like peasants, animals, townsfolk are quite common to appear. They were especially quite common for rural freeholder arms, so we can use it for a bitcoin peasant who owns satoshis in allodial title, that is to say, in self-custody. Two supporters sustain this Coat of Arms, a man and a woman, both peasants holding their property. The combination of both man and woman represents a family or lineage which is necessary to make its property and legacy immortal for generations and centuries to come. In this case supporters represent perpetuity.
Supporters are also used for historic narrative reasons and this is also the case for the present Coat of arms. Its holder The Bitcoin Peasant is making history since this character is spreading the importance of Bitcoin and how it can change the world for the better. The Bitcoin Peasant is encouraging people to learn what Bitcoin is while learning about other people’s opinion about this property. The Bitcoin Peasant spreads how important it is to own your property in allodial title or self-custody.
The supporters of this Coat of Arms are depicted in proper colors, and historically this is common and absolutely acceptable, in contrast to the Shield which the rule of tincture should be applied strictly. Supporters traditionally show more realism, so two peasants are represented with their own clothes and their working tools, which represent hard work. Their clothes have different colors, mainly blue which is a symbol of wisdom, serenity and modernity and orange which represents optimism, happiness, enthusiasm and youthful connections. The values of the mentioned colors are very related to Bitcoin. In fact Orange is also the color of Bitcoin. The brown color is present since it is a very common color for rural clothing and tools.
5. SCROLL AND MOTTO
According to traditional heraldic rules scroll with motto is always allowed for any social rank and does not require a compartment. The Motto of this Coat of Arms is “IN PROPERTY WE TRUST”, since the identity of The Bitcoin Peasant is related to Property Rights and relies on honesty and trust.
