I don't give to charity. Collection box in town? I walk past. Not because I don't care. Because I never know how much of it reaches anyone. This time I made an exception. An orphanage in Uganda, paid in bitcoin. I only knew him from X. Never met him. So I said: one donation. I accept I might lose it. Just send me a photo of what it does. I got a video. Kids holding a big yellow sign: "Hello brother Mario". That hit harder than I expected. Netherlands to Uganda. No bank in between. No waiting days. Nobody could stop it. Nobody took a cut on the way. That's what bitcoin is for. Follow @Maliki_Children, or read how I did it:

Bitcoin doneren aan een kindertehuis in Uganda | BitcoinStuffStore

Ik geef bijna nooit aan goede doelen. Toch ging ik Bitcoin doneren aan een kindertehuis in Uganda. Waarom, en wat ik terugkreeg.

The Dutch box 3 overhaul is not law yet. The draft is. From 2028: 36 percent tax on your actual yearly result. Stocks: taxed when you sell. Bitcoin in your own wallet: taxed on paper gains every year, expected until 2030. We ran an example for a parent. 50k euro in savings, 50k euro in bitcoin. Bitcoin goes up 50 percent. Current 2026 rules: 880.54 euro tax. 2028 proposal: 10,872 euro. Without selling a single sat. The bitcoin you stack for your kid? It counts with you. The child gets no exemption of its own. Inflation is ignored too. We put the rules, the open questions and a tool to run your own numbers in one place. Not advice, just math.

Saw a tweet from @npub1w98e...cwpx this afternoon: "1 donation fuels 51 projects." Sent 10,000 sats from BitcoinStuffStore right away. What I like most: you can check the math. Our 10,000 sats: 5,000 to My First Bitcoin 550 each to ranks 1 to 5 100 each to ranks 6 to 20 25 each to ranks 21 to 50 Ranked on public proof of work. Soweto BTC, School of Satoshi, Bitcoin Paraguay. Dutch name on there too: Kirscha, at 29. Ranking freezes end of 2026, payout Feb 2027. Still an experiment. The split is public up front. That I trust. Bitcoin spreads through someone explaining it calmly. That's what these 50 do. Why we gave, and how to join:

Supporting Bitcoin education: 1 donation, 51 projects

You can support Bitcoin education with any amount: the Bitcoin Education Fund splits your donation across 51 projects. How it works and why I joined.

Keystone reported a breach of its webshop on October 24. Names, contact details, shipping addresses and order details were taken. According to Keystone, seeds, private keys and payment data were not exposed. So your bitcoin is fine. The risk is what comes next: an email, letter or phone call that knows exactly what you ordered. That makes a scammer sound real. It doesn't make them real. No manufacturer, shop or support desk will ever ask for your seed. A replacement device you didn't order stays in the box. Firmware only through the official app you open yourself. Our own shop automatically erases customer details from completed orders after about a month. Invoices stay for 7 years, as Dutch tax law requires. How to spot the fakes:

Hardware wallet phishing: herken het na een datalek

Datalek bij een hardware wallet-leverancier? Zo herken je hardware wallet phishing, wat je nu doet en waarom je herstelzin nooit gedeeld wordt.

The money printers run at full speed. A father waits in line for bread with his wages, and the price goes up while he waits. That's how Bitcoin Blitz opens. An arcade shooter by Noderunner Brinkie (@onthebrinkie). I'm a bit hooked. The bosses: The Tax Extractor. The Data Broker. The Money Printer. The Dollar Revenant, flooding the field with "liquidity". And the final boss, the Big Boss of International Settlements. Guess who that's supposed to be. 21 levels. Local co-op, two players on one screen. Free demo in your browser, Steam release coming. Play it with that friend you've been trying to orange pill for years. Easier than an hour on debasement. Two real arcade cabinets tour bitcoin meetups. Play for free, or pay with Lightning for credits and go for the high score and the jackpot. Every paid session makes the jackpot bigger. Insert sats. Start the run. Brinkie builds it in public with the Noderunners. @LightningPiggy is one of the sponsors. My write-up:

Someone zaps me on Nostr: my BTClock blinks purple and orange. Someone drops sats in my son's Lightning Piggy: pink and orange, amount on the screen. And the kitchen speaker says who sent them. Hadn't seen this anywhere, so I built it. Here's how.

Bitcoin only. Nothing else. Solo miners like the Bitaxe, hardware wallets, nodes and the BTClock. Everything gets tested before it ships, and some of it is built on my own workbench. Shipping from Meppel, the Netherlands. Lightning welcome. bitcoinstuffstore.com

Built this with two of my favourite bitcoin gadgets! My @npub1ey8l...sxcf lights up when sats come in. Purple and orange for a Nostr zap. Pink and orange when someone fills the @LightningPiggy The rest of the day the LEDs follow the price: euro on the left, dollar on the right, green or red. Home Assistant ties it together. My phone pings and the kitchen speaker says who zapped. Thanks @Richard Nakamoto for the Piggy and @Djuri for the BTClock API that made this possible. Full how-to, with a copy-paste prompt:

BTClock and Lightning Piggy Home Assistant connection: step by step

Build a Lightning Piggy Home Assistant connection: your BTClock flashes on every zap and deposit and follows the price. Explained step by step.

Zap this note and my clock turns purple ⚡

Final testing. Soon I will drop a blog about the steps I took. Zapping & LN Piggy connected via home assistant. Without AI this was never possible for me. In the blog I will add a prompt, so you can try it yourself or create something even more fun.

Testing if zapping via nostr triggers my btcclock. Ohh and home assistant. Btw. Every sat wil end up to my son.

New design of the new beer label. Credits to @LotteZ / Jetty Kiz for the art work! Soon available in store. ⚡ Let me know what you think about it!
