Big day at the office! I’ve officially launched on Nostr to help more people transition from being Bitcoin-curious to Bitcoin-native. I’ll still be here sharing my personal thoughts and coffee-fueled rants, but if you want structured lessons and quizzes to sharpen your Bitcoin IQ, the Academy is where you need to be. It’s been a journey building both a consultancy and an academy in this space, and I’m grateful to have this community alongside me. See you in the lessons! ☕️₿

Not everything on LinkedIn is bad, for instance the look and feel, availability of a large professional network and the various business friendly features. But I understand what you mean in relation to their centralised approach and lack of real privacy.

Honored by the Slab’s arrival. Just verifying—since they run on btc.aw, it's a non-custodial BTCPay setup, right? No middleman, no IOUs. Thanks for keeping the facts solid.

Does AirBTC also accept bitcoin via the Lightning Network as well? And what role does Branta play? Payment processor?

Morning view from the HQ! ☕️⚡️ While the consulting side keeps us busy bridging the gap between sovereign code and European compliance, there’s something even more radical brewing. My team and I are currently heads-down developing Bitcoin centric educational content for Simon Academy. Right now, it’s a 'standard' Web2 hub—centralized, with legacy sign-ups and fiat payment methods processed by a traditional PSP. But it’s got me thinking: Why settle for that when we could truly build it on Nostr? The vision is simple: No more emails or passwords—just register with your Nostr profile (NIP-07). No more credit card fees or bank delays—just pay for courses or subscriptions instantly with Sats via Lightning Zaps (NIP-57). The future of education should be as decentralized and censorship-resistant as the money it teaches. We’re mapping out how to move from a centralized website to an open protocol where you own your identity and your learning progress. If you're a developer who has worked on Nostr-native authentication or Zap-gated content, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Let’s build the 'Pleb' way. 🤝🚀

I'm using an Android phone and when trying to download the app in theczapstore I get the following 404 message. Login or profile creation also doesn't work at my end.

Tried to download the app various times in the Zapstore but unfortunately the download option, or the Nostr profile connection/creation option does not seem to work properly. Get a 404.

When it comes to the autonomous future, the choice between x402 and L402 is a choice between convenience and sovereignty. While x402 is a pragmatic leap forward that allows legacy giants like Stripe to bring stablecoins to traditional HTTP rails, it still largely relies on centralized issuers, permissioned stablecoins, and third-party facilitators to manage the plumbing. I personally lean toward L402 (formerly known as LSAT) because it offers a truly native and sovereign alternative for machine-to-machine commerce. By combining Macaroons with the Lightning Network, L402 provides decentralized, granular authorization where the payment itself acts as the cryptographic proof of access, eliminating the need for central user databases or issuer-linked stablecoins. Stripe’s use of x402 is building better plumbing for the old world, but L402 on Bitcoin provides the only neutral, censorship-resistant language for a truly independent bot economy.

Just onboarded to Minibits! ⚡️🪙 I’m officially testing the intersection of ecash and Lightning. The privacy of the protocol combined with the speed of Lightning is a massive upgrade for micro-payments. Great to see projects like making this tech so accessible. If you’re building in the #PlebChain space, this is definitely worth a look for instant, private transfers. The circular economy is moving from theory to reality. ₿ #Ecash #Cashu #LightningNetwork #Bitcoin #Minibits #Nostr #Privacy #PlebTech

Very cool!

Where can I find a review about Unfiltered?

You hit the nail on the head. The infrastructure is already here. Between robust Lightning Network integration, enterprise-grade payment processors, and widespread digital literacy in the Netherlands, the 'plumbing' for a Bitcoin economy is fully operational. The only thing missing is the shift from a HODL-only mindset to seeing Bitcoin as the superior money it is. This new Box 3 law might just be the 'nudge' the community needs to stop treating sats as stagnant digital gold and start using them as active economic energy. When the taxman comes for your 'paper gains' anyway, the friction of spending disappears—and the circular economy finally begins to spin. ⚡️

Michael Saylor is a weird guy. Don't understand his vision of digital credit at all and why there is so little pushback to his ideas.

We clearly have different ways of communicating. I'll stick to the actual topic at hand. Take care.

Don't completely agree with you. You are generalising a bit. Yes, there are lot of fake people on there, and bad content, but not every person that is or was active there is fake or full of shit. There is a lot of good professional content there as well. Even about bitcoin, nostr, lightning, ecash, etc.

GM ⚡️ 6:00 AM and back under the iron. Chest and triceps today—building the discipline required for the grind. 🏋️‍♂️ Riding a high from yesterday’s win: officially signed a new major fintech client. Looking forward to navigating the complex maze of EU laws and regulations to get them to market. 🇪🇺⚖️ Starting the day with heavy sets and big goals. Let's get it. #GM #Fintech #Compliance #ProofOfWork #Fitness #Nostr

Does this have an impact on users' wallet balances?

Thanks for liking and sharing your kind words. I haven't been to El Salvador yet but would love to go. Any tips for places to visit there?
