10 things I do at bitcoin conferences as a serious introvert: 1. Take notes with a pen amd paper. 2. Give out physical business cards. 3. Eat far too much from the breakfast buffet, including rich food that makes me fart. 4. Half-hourly trips to the bathroom to fart. 5. Make extremely bad jokes to break the ice (normally, my jokes are just bad). 6. Threaten crypto shills with pepper spray. 7. Carry around a bag of books, then forget to talk about them. 8. Become confident enough to fart in the presence of others, then look around and pull faces when the smell hits. 9. Wear smart shoes. 10. Begrudgingily pay €5+for airport coffee. How do you all fair at conferences?

GM. Airport vibes. Vitamin Prague. Let's go. ✈️✈️✈️

I've hit upon an a writing idea. It's partly thanks to nostr and being present here most days. After some introspection, I found I am tired of switching platforms, playing to certain identies, and aiming for writerly 'success'. The rules of the game are now changing much faster than one man can keep up with. I've been writing for nearly 20 years, professionally for 10, and the world of words only gets more complicated. I get closer to burnout every day. Whether readers find this valuable or not remains to be seen. And at the end of this all, I'll focus on wherever my ideas resonate most. I vow to publish a weekly post or article outlining one epoch or era of my writing career. That might sound pompous, like I've won two Pullitzers or the Booker. I haven't, but my writing has spanned blogs, magazines, hand-crafted books, self-publishing, indie publishing, coaching writers, winning competitions, workshops, podcasts, ghostwriting, copy and content, the rise of AI, social media stardom, new platforms, editing, working as a publisher, and marketing clients' books. As an experiment, I'll publish everywhere - Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Substack, Nostr, and anywhere else I'm already plugged in. This will be a retrospective of my first burst of creativity and work (2010-2025). As well as helping others discover my work, it'll help me to remember and cherish my journey. If my words help new writers, thats grand. Really, the results of this social media experiment may be more interesting than the stories themselves. My posts will be unplanned and unfiltered (aka poorly edited). Who will notice? What will they think? What conversations will arise? Will the results of this experiment be book worthy? Anyway, this is Part One of my writing life (more like a prologue, really). Expect one edition each week. And wherever you are reading this, drop by and say 'hello'. P.s. should I call this project 'UnPHILtered?'

That is awesome, brutha. Congrats to you both! Will the dog be ring bearer? 🐕

It's 1 year since my fiction book about the possibilites of time was published by Konsensus Network. https://bitcoinbook.shop/products/fifteen-shades-of-time?Format=Paperback I wrote it before I'd ever heard the word 'timechain'. But somehow, my obsession with time brought me to Bitcoin. Thank you to my readers, and thanks to Satoshi too.

The Power of 1 - a rule of thumb for social posts. Use maximum 1 of each: 1 point 1 analogy 1 example 1 story 1 call to action Most founders I know struggle to do this. It's not a perfect formula that guarantees results, just a gentle reminder to keep it simple. It works.

, do we have an npub yet?

Looking forward to tue next in Gran Canaria. SATurday 1st November...

Built a little website this week (not my core skill). Projects like this absolutely fall under 'writing avoidance', but I get so much energy from them. People with fiat jobs arrive home after an exhausting commute to Uber Eats and 4 hours of Netflix. I stay up past my bedtime making this. Here's to building Madeira 2.0. bitcanario.com #circulareconomy

Thanks for the support, and thanks to too. I read quite a few books on time to prepare for writing this book. In fact, the main character being Italian was inspired by Carlo Rovelli and his book. I was hoping to get a quote from him for the cover, but alas, he didn't have time to read the book. I was pumped that David Eagleman did provide a quote though. Einstein's Dreams but Alan Lightman is another book which presents alternative versions of time. Good read as well.

GM. It's a fine day for a .

Freeloader.

Zapsplits!

A few pics from the Trezor TBD event in Prague today. No BREAKING NEWS announcements from me. I'll be providing a full write up in the next few days. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Let's see what all the fuss is about.

ALL HAIL BALTHAZAR - THE SOFA KING! 🛋👑 (I call him that because he is sofa-king lazy).

GM. Another beautiful day to shun fiat bullshit.
