Don’t forget to donate to good causes like independent journalism, internet archives, Bitcoin/freedom tech projects, and food or medical aid that alleviates suffering.

My 2025 on various GitHub/other accounts hit a record: Times I got a “thanks bro” = 13 (You’re welcome “sista” :) :)

Choosing your battles wisely is such a life hack/maximizer…

Gm, privacy is a human right. Fight for that every day in your own way.

Stay humble when you help merchants stack sats…

When you’re onboarding Square merchants and their workers, be sure to notice how so many of them are every day working to make the world a better place for the customer/community/family they have. Every Square service or store I buy from, 100% of them—make the world a better place. Without a doubt. This would be a better energy to start from instead of the mindset we see from many, “Muh—fiat work is stupid—my thing I do in/with Bitcoin is the more meaningful or purposeful or impactful thing that makes the world a better place.’ IMO, that mindset is akin to the age-old government/tech/financial elite smuggery that places one’s self above the masses of humans and their work. And not a winning educational or marketing mindset for those whose goods and services we all utilize. Stay humble and help merchants and service providers stack sats!!!

More podcasts than nodes #soon..

Be kind to the US airline workers - not their shitshow that’s starting …

Many of us are NOT Bitcoiners who only or mainly talk to other Bitcoiners about privacy and sovereignty and freedom tech and why it matters even more at this juncture. We are just out there, every day - knowing that we are making a difference… …and regardless of how unseen or un-ACKed we are in the echo chambers’ visibility.

Am noticing that the portion of vibe coders who are new to ”coding” (not self-taught or formally taught actual code writers)—could really benefit from some structured training to understand tech stacks/architecture and languages/capabilities. Seems to lead to some of the AI/UI redundancy. @Justin Moon

What you and yours consider right may eventually (or now) be considered wrong by mercurial authorities and governments. Privacy is necessary- and a human right.
