Heart goes out to any Aussie families caught up in the bushfires Woke up this morning to the smell of smoke And just swept ash off the back terrace Intense start to the year

GM One thing I’ve noticed about Nostr Your creativity compounds One doesn’t always want to post Some days you’re flat Sad Don’t feel like it And others you’re pumped Posting Replying Zapping With status quo socials, the algo requires constant attention, a dirty, hungry, filthy beast of a companion You stop posting And it ignores you when you come back Whereas Nostr, all your work is still there, and with no algo, it’s people you’re connected with So when you return and are more active, they’re actually happy you’re back They’ve got enough value previously so reply, zap, repost, and support your return Creativity is like this It’s not linear It’s occasional Driven by inspiration You want to create when you’re ready to create It’s my gut feel that this is an angle that will be hugely valuable to future Nostr users, you’re able to compound your social digital creativity, with a base layer of human connections in cyber space, that are kind of like the family and friends you have at your wedding, in that when you get up to make your speech nervously, they’re all cheering you on, and it’s far more fun, easy, intuitive, and inspiring than you dreaded Plenty of work to be done But huge potential 🙏🏻

What do you hate more: - price dumping? Or - price pumping?

Truth: the more you know, the more you buy #bitcoin

90k is a great BUY Watch over the next 6 months as retail actually wakes up And suddenly there are lines of people wanting in at double these numbers Great time to stack for the man on the street 💪🏻

In a world where private messaging is still vulnerable to metadata harvesting and single‑point failures, Jeff explains how Nostr’s relay‑based architecture and true end‑to‑end encryption can finally give users control over their own conversations. He also reveals a sustainable, non‑profit model that keeps the service free from ads and corporate pressure; critical for building truly censorship‑resistant communication tools. Tune in to learn the technical breakthroughs and the roadmap that could reshape digital privacy over the next year.

I love my wife

3 reasons I remain a huge Bitcoin bull, and believe the price will run in 2026: - 1 - the full impact of the 2024 halving will be realised - 2 - central banks and nation states will slowly wade through their own bureaucracy and allocate to strategic reserves - 3 - the plumbing done for a truly global financial infrastructure layer will become very evident
