Added 4 new bat-symbols to the WIP Batman poster. The Resurrection of Ra's Al Ghul seems to be a one of but interesting chest-symbol.

Wrote my first Nostr Reads article on the philosophical split between Strike and Swan through the vision of Jeff Booth:

Strike vs Swan: Hold Bitcoin or Live on It?

Strike builds for a future where you live on Bitcoin. Swan builds for a future where you hold it. Which philosophy actually keeps Bitcoin free?

Added these bat-symbols to the poster today. The amount of bat-suits with alternative symbols alone would make a nice poster.

I'm creating a poster with all the bat-symbols but i have clearly underestimated the amount of variations and characters with each their own logo. Batzarro, Living Gotham City Batman, Gargoyle of Gotham and the Dark Multiverse to name a few.

The more i learn about our current deb-based system the more I'm convinced the central theme is: extraction.

Working on a Batman symbol evolution poster

Installed OpenClaw and managed to kill it after 30 minutes. Spent all evening reviving it, but he’s back!

Reading ‘On Writing Well’ by William Zinsser and it helps me a lot with writing articles! Great recommendation by Jason Cohen because it confirms what I found intuitively to be true but lacked confidence to implement.

Great new insight from Jeff Booth's interview with Brandon on the Sovreign podcast: Nuclear energy = abundant energy = deflationary. And because deflation is bad for the debt-based system, it had to be stopped.

Been reading the book list on Jeff Booth’s website and loving it so far. Not a big fan of Simple Rules by Donald Sull I’m reading now. I’m getting lost in the detailed case studies similar to the $100 Startup by Chris Guillebeau. Feels like fluff to me.

Small steps:

Ditto Transcript Generator

Ditto — YouTube Transcript Generator

The privacy-first YouTube video transcript extractor. 100% local. Zero data tax.

has 6 users atm by posting it on Product Hunt and bitcointalk.org. Let's see if people on Stacker News appreciate it.

Working on animating the Ditto logo for my design portfolio: It's a free open-source transcript extractor.

I can't seem to get notified when the people I follow on Nostr post something, so I built a simple script that monitors relays and sends me a Telegram message. @npub18ams...p424 do you think this will be a Nostr option in the future?

The debt-based system extracts everything from you: • Your Attention: Media harvests your fear so you vote for your own chains • Your Time: Inflation steals your labor faster than you can earn it • Your Future: Burning real resources to pretend we have growth • Your Voice: You elect politicians, but you don't control the money printer • Your Conscience: Your cheap goods require someone else's slavery • Your Values: Forced to gamble on assets just to survive You are the battery powering this system. And you have the choice to unplug.

Emotions are signals, not problems. And problems are puzzles, not walls.

I think the idea of recurring revenue is slowly dying. With more ai tools available people will say “why not just build that myself?” Plus debasement will intensify screening for monthly expenses.

Today I realized that the most successful founders and creators use the same playbook, regardless of their medium: In SEO: You don't build a page and hope for traffic. You find the keywords with proven volume and build for them. In Writing: You don't write a post and hope for likes. You find "validated ideas"—structures that have already gone viral—and expand on them.

I’m building a private transcript generator, but I refuse to give it a boring, literal name like so many tools have. I chose a different path: Naming based on a feeling. Here’s how I created the identity for "Ditto" in 4 hours: I'm a fan of a hundred monkeys' philosophy: names should tell a story, not just a function. • "Home repair videos" → All Thumbs • "Recommendation network" → Likewise My goal? Find a name that feels as frictionless as the tool itself.
 I started with a word cloud to capture the "Bitcoin Ethos": 🔓 Open & Transparent ⚡ Frictionless 🕵️ Privacy-first 📖 Reveal I almost went with "Facsimile," but it felt too archaic and hard to spell. Back to the thesaurus for synonyms.
 Then I found it: Ditto. It’s related to duplicating or copying. It’s short, informal, and positive. Not to forget: No big brands using it.
 For the logo, initially I wanted to merge the "Play" button with the letter "D." I love typography, so I also played with the standard "Copy" icon. The result is a logo that feels familiar but custom.
 Colors weren’t random.
I fed Albers’ "Interaction of Color" and Itten’s "Elements of Color" into NotebookLM for suggestions. 🟡 Yellow: Knowledge & Light (revealing the text). 🔵 Deep Blue: Trust & Privacy. It’s the visual equivalent of "shining a light" on hidden data. Total time: 4 hours from blank page to "brand" identity. By putting in the extra work, I'm building a design portfolio — not just another generic utility. If you like design or if you're interested in Bitcoin related projects, follow along for the next update.

Started today working on a free, open-source and private video transcript extractor for those who like to learn and take notes. So many services are behind sign-up walls or send your data to the cloud. Plus mine works on gated courses.

Tried to add @Jeff Booth as a WikiData entry because his work is so notable, but it got deleted after18 hours for not being "notable" enough 😄
